Start of the second week of the graduation event.
A facility inside the Edinnica Arena - away from the audience. 4.30 PM.
The hall was grand and spacious. Cheerings and screams could be heard coming from outside the spectrally protected windows. It indicated that the graduation event still received plenty of responses from its viewers despite the frequent disturbances in the live feed.
Two men were sitting on opposite sides of a large study table. One was a middle-aged man who had just broken into the Grandmaster rank. The other was an old man who seemed to be in his 70s.
The middle-aged man was none other than Edinburgh's legitimate Duke– Arthur Renar.
This was the guy who was tricked by Eliza into making an artificial demon beast for herself. He wasn't able to gain the power of being a half-blood. However, he had managed to break into the A-Rank, courtesy of the resources and support provided to him by Layla for his contribution.
