Here is the corrected version with Eid changed to Lucian:

When Dastan saw the ground… and Lucian… the marks of choking on his neck… he erupted in rage… the trio of monsters from the Fourth Continent were here…

“Shut up… put your weapons away… and suppress your auras… if you refuse… you will become our enemies… and the Fourth Continent… will become your enemy… if you survive me before that…”

“Now… what is the reason for your conflict?”

Ravina answered:

“This golden one… he invaded the academy… and started a fight…”

He replied:

“You tried to kill one of the trio… a strike like that… no one can survive it… if you were testing someone… you must bear the consequences… but killing him? I know you understand… especially when you aimed your spear at him… it was to the left of his neck… and that point is his weak spot… don’t make up more excuses…”

Himera said:

“This is her academy… it is none of your concern…”

Leviathan said:

“When my brother speaks… no one is allowed to talk… unless given permission…”

Himera felt from Leviathan’s tone… that she might die…

Cloud continued:

“Is that what happened…?”

Ravina avoided speaking…

“He questioned the Master’s decisions…”

He cut her off and said:

“I am the one who questioned the Master.”

Cloud publicly declared his rebellion against the Master’s decisions.

Ravina could do nothing.

Nakryon said:

“Wait, what—”

Cloud interrupted him with a loud shout:

“You coward… I was going to say you’re a girl behind the scenes… but even girls came here… answer me… you coward… Zero Time!”

Cloud grabbed Dastan’s spear… and threw it toward the sky…

The gravity was 400 times stronger…

But a throw with his bare hand… was a hundred times stronger… no… even a hundred wasn’t half of it…

Suddenly… the sky cracked…

A massive eye appeared!

Cloud said:

“Zero Time… if I catch you… I will slap your ass…”

Zero Time, in his room… his strange voice echoed:

“Heretic… heretic… whoever doubts the Master’s decisions is sinful… a criminal… hell is a hundred times too light for him…”

(But his tone never changed… was he really angry? What is hidden beneath that helmet?)

“I will show you…”

A giant eye appeared in the sky… larger than before… energy gathering inside it… light… but black?

It was about to fire a beam that could erase the arena…

But at that moment…

Nakryon pulled a liquid mass from his hand… not water… but molten gold.

And from Ravina’s side… her sword was drawn from its sheath.

Cloud said:

“Didn’t I say… lower your weapons?”

“Rise.”

A dragon the size of the academy appeared…

No… even its wing alone was the size of it.

It revealed to the trio that he could create dragons and control them…

Yet he showed no exhaustion… his aura remained unchanged.

Ah… a dragon wing the size of a massive academy was nothing to him…

If this was only a fraction of his power… a dragon the size of a continent…?

No… a planet…

And in that moment… the dragon released its breath…

Fire…?

No… a burning aura.

Genika complained:

Talia replied:

“He is not even fighting…”

Leviathan cut through the mood:

“You are insulting my brother by saying that… 0.2% of his power? Even less… he is not using it at all.”

The eye burned… and disappeared.

A war was declared between Rank 2 and Rank 4.

Lucian went near Dastan and said:

“So your warnings and fear about him… were not in vain? How interesting…”

Cloud said:

“Disappear…”

The dragon vanished.

Rosaline descended beside her brother.

Cloud said:

“Now… what is the cause of this fight?”

Lucy answered in panic:

“It’s because of me… I mocked the three new students…”

Cloud replied:

“A part of your words is hidden… tell the truth!”

(How did Cloud know the truth and lies so precisely?)

Rosaline answered:

“It all started when I released my aura to calm the students… I got 4 points deducted… Lucian didn’t like it and challenged her…”

Nakryon became furious:

“I will destroy this academy… and turn it into ashes… who dares deduct points from my sister…”

Rosaline interrupted:

“Brother… stop… you’re scaring the audience…”

Nakryon stopped…

And Leviathan’s clones lowered their blades from every ordinary Rank holder.

Cloud said:

“Both sides are wrong… no… three sides… but interfering in a fight as a Special Rank is forbidden… the Master enjoys watching strong battles…”

Ozex landed and said:

“Sorry Cloud… but the academy… is above all laws…”

Cloud interrupted:

“It doesn’t matter… everyone is wrong… humans make mistakes… if they didn’t… what is the meaning of life?”

Talia looked at Lucian’s neck marks… but Lucian did not speak.

His pupils shrank when he saw someone in the stands…

He trembled.

Blue eyes… white hair… a scar on his face…

He gestured with his finger… signaling silence.

Lucian’s face turned pale.

Cloud asked:

“What is it, Lucian?”

He answered:

“It was me…”

“Who is he?”

A man with blue eyes… white hair… and a scar… pointed at an empty seat.

All Ranks were shocked.

Cloud said:

“You must grow stronger… three months of academy time—use them. You have become targets…”

Ravina said angrily:

“If you don’t graduate and can’t destroy a mountain… just blow your heads off.”

Genika thought:

“What is this hatred the director carries…”

Cloud continued:

“As for the results of this fight… victory goes to the trio.”

Nakryon’s arrival was to protect his Rank bearer.

And as for his doubt about the Master… it was not a joke.

Cloud publicly declared his disbelief in the Master—

As for the Numbers: Himera, Azara, Photon, Talia, Leviathan, Alito…

“Consider them part of the show.”

The difference between you all… has been shown.

But this academy is the Academy of the Drawn Sword…

The director trained under one of the demons of the Round Table…

Lucifer.

At that name, the crowd froze.

Cloud continued:

“If I were to become a Number… I would work for it. I will do it.”

He then asked:

“Does anyone want to ride a dragon?”

Silence.

Dastan raised his hand excitedly:

“I do!”

He always wanted to see Genika’s perspective from the sky…

Cloud said:

“Release your darkness.”

Dastan complied.

Cloud grabbed it… as if it was his own.

“Rise.”

A dark dragon appeared… 15 meters long… black as night… blue eyes and flames.

“It is a gift.”

Dastan asked:

“How do I keep it? That woman will kill it (Ravina)….”

Cloud replied:

“Move aside…”

He pulled Ravina’s veil.

Silence fell.

Genika said:

“Mom…?”

Perfect body… hair covering one eye… elegant presence…

Genika hugged her instantly:

“Adopt me!”

Ravina smiled:

“You are my daughter.”

Chaos.

Cloud said:

“From now on… next month will be practical training… you will train with Leviathan and Alito…”

Ozex cried in relief.

Cloud said:

“Your existence is strange.”

Ozex replied:

“Huh? I’ll take a break!”

Cloud said:

“I can hear everything across the continent… every aura… but yours is unusual… are you a World Walker?”

Silence spread.

Ozex answered:

“Yes.”

Cloud continued:

“World Walkers travel between worlds… dimensions… even planets…”

Shock spread.

Cloud ended:

“I’m going home… everyone return.”

He then added:

“Dastan, the dragon is yours… Genika, Ravina, no more talking nonsense…”

And he vanished.

Everyone disappeared… except the director and Leviathan.

Lucian said:

“Transport me to Cloud… I need to talk to him.”
