I Lost the Tournament on Purpose — But She Saw Every Secret I Was Hiding ⚔️🔥

Tournament week arrives, and Kael maps every competitor's weakness with the cold precision of a man who has been preparing for this his entire life. In the shadows, he confirms the terrifying truth about Damien Cross's power source—and identifies the Academy professor secretly feeding student intelligence to the Order of Eternal Stars. Then the bracket drops, and the impossible pairing appears: Kael versus Seraphine Voss in the semi-finals. What follows is the most intense battle the Academy has witnessed in years—a so-called defective frontier noble pushing the most powerful student to her absolute limits. But when it's over, Seraphine isn't celebrating. She's furious. Because she saw the Space magic he used to avoid her Radiance—and a General Track student with a fractured core has no business using Space magic at all. ⚔️🔥👁️
