Later that day, everyone had arrived at the castle in Lestia thanks to Touya's Gate.
"So, you are the adventures that my daughter brought back," said King Lestia as he greeted them in his throne room.
"That is correct, your highness," said Touya.
"I did not expect a Dragon Slayer to be so young," said King Lestia as he looked Touya up and down.
"I get that a lot," said Touya.
"Before you take on the glass beast, I would like to test your power, if you don't mind," said King Lestia with that, 'I just met someone strong,' smile.
"Do you want to fight me yourself, or is there a knight you want me to face?" asked Touya who was getting used to this.
"Of course you'll be facing me," said King Lestia. A few minutes later, they were in the arena.
"I hope you are strong like they say, for even I have not defeated my father's Null Magic," said Hildegard as she and the others stood in the stands outside the battlefield.
"That's right, for my Null Magic, Power Rise, increases my physical strength ten fold," said King Lestia before casting the spell.
"Hope you don't mind me using it, Power Rise," said Touya.
"How is this possible, I thought his Null Magic was Gate," said a shocked Hildegard as Touya and King Lestia started fighting.
"Touya actually has an affinity to all magic elements, and he can use any Null Magic," said Elze.
"He is the man the four of us decided to marry after all," said Yumina.
"You have impressed me boy, you have some great talent not only with a sword but with magic," said King Lestia before charging at Touya. However, Touya was able to block the King's sword with his own.
"I'm not even at my strongest yet, Boost," said Touya.
"He's not even struggling to hold me off," thought King Lestia as he noticed no quivering in Touya's arms as he held him back. Then, with one shove on his sword, Touya sent the King flying along with a large gust of wind.
"He actually defeated my father," said Hildegard with a stunned expression. Meanwhile, something in a far off cave had scensed Touya's energy and had started to move.
