Bias

"For the Finals, you will be challenged by the greatest Scholar in the history of the Eastern Empire, Lewis Griffith!" Klaus announced, much to the surprise of everyone who was watching… including me.

'E-eh?!'

The lone Scholar on stage, Reinhardt Ciera, gasped at the difficulty of the Finals. How could she, a mere student, compete against the Great Sage?

Her eyes roamed uncomfortably across the stage, but it seemed like she was trying her best to prevent her expression from showing the nervousness she felt.

"Do not worry. Considering your level, we have not compiled the most difficult ones for you. Rather, your challenge will be to argue against one of Lewis Griffith's earlier treatises concerning the Mana Core Grade revolution and its relevance, as well as the Concept of Inepts."

I sighed as soon as I heard the question.

It was indeed one of my earlier works, and to be honest, I still considered it to be childish and juvenile compared to my other advanced works.
