Hearing Cassian's proposal, Auri frowned again as she responded, "What are you even saying, Cas? You're a peak third-stage—are you trying to bully him?"
Cassian raised a brow. "Didn't your friend offhandedly mention that he killed that traitor of a professor, Paul or something? Then shouldn't he be more than strong enough to match a third-stager? Unless, you know… that was just another lie."
This time Auri couldn't find any words to refute Cassian since what he said made sense. Besides, Drai had also told her how he briefly meddled in the professors' battlefield and escaped from a high-ranked member, so considering all this, he shouldn't lose easily to a mere peak third-stager.
"Don't worry, Miss," Cassian spoke again. "I'm aware I'm not your ordinary peak third-stager, so even if his story was true, he could still find it difficult to match me. That's why I'll set up a few winning conditions for him to avoid a needless one-sided beating."
