"Dragons, huh…" Chad pondered aloud as he was unable to shake off Vale's words.
He harbored no doubt about Vale's ability to summon a Dragon through a ritual, having witnessed numerous miracles performed by Vale.
Vale possessed Spirit Strands, Power Strands, and Life Strands that surpassed his own by a significant margin.
In fact, even licensed Arcanists or graduates would not possess such an extraordinary set of Strands. Moreover, aside from defeating some senior students, he had heard of Vale's record-breaking feats in the Twelve Academy Competition, an event previously reserved for sixth-year students and above.
"But here I am… still average compared to him… Even Lisa became stronger already." Chad sighed, recalling this.
Initially, he had believed that after attaining the Ghost King Body, he would at least be on par with Vale. However, even after reaching the second level of the Ghost King Body, he realized that he still fell short.
