Yes, Camila is in the Grand Master rank. A student who is on the same level as the teachers of the Academy and already a person who could be considered a power in the world.
A person who enters the Grand Master Rank is incredibly stronger than the Masters, the previous rank. Because of the greater ease of controlling Mana and creating things with it.
Theos knew that if he faced Camila, even though she had just entered that rank, he wasn't sure he would beat her, especially with the many tricks she hid about the dragon race and because of her great combat experience... Plus that heroine power they all have.
"How do you know about the Dragon Kingdom?" she asked after recovering from the initial shock.
Now she was a bit helpless, she had become significantly agitated, taken by surprise.
"The Fallen family knows everything about this world. The Dragon Kingdom is part of this world, and therefore,e, the Fallen family knows of its existence," he declared.
What he had said was not a lie; in the original novel, the Fallen family was shown to have contacts with the Dragon Kingdom, and obviously, the person who had these contacts was his father, Matheo. Although he doesn't know how his father had contact with the dragons, it had to be said that they are only profit contacts.
It's nothing sentimental, much less that they get along; it's just that the Fallen family is very powerful, as well as the dragons.
However, why not take advantage of this information advantage?
Camilla froze, but serenity and calm quickly returned to her. "So... What exactly is the business, what does the Dragon Kingdom have to do with it?" she asked.
Theos thought carefully about the words he was about to say; after all, in front of him was the only person who could perform the favor he was about to ask.
"I want to go to the Dragon Realm," he declared.
"Impossible," Camilla flatly refused, without even a second thought.
To this, Theos did not take it as a surprise; knowing Camila's character in the novel, it is quite normal for her to be like this. After all, she is the proud princess of the Dragon race.
And also one of the heroines in the original novel who was in Alan's harem.
'What will she ask of me,' he thought, deciding to ask directly.
"Shall we agree? Now tell me, what will you ask?" he asked.
Camila dropped her sword, which fell to the ground with a metallic sound. With both hands free, one hand she used to stroke her chin, while the other hand closed into a fist, placing it to support her cheek.
'At least it disguises...', thought Theos.
It was more than obvious that Camilla was faking her pensive state, she had already decided what she would ask for a while ago.
Possibly, she tried to lie and make it look like she was thinking she would ask, but the exaggeration, possibly a product of her little social experience among peers her age, made it more than obvious that she was lying.
Still, Theos said nothing, waiting for her response.
"I'll tell you when you get what you want," he confessed, feigning a dejected expression.
Theos rolled his eyes but nodded. He couldn't demand something now, he didn't have time for that.
And speaking of time...
"I need to go to the Dragon Realm today; I don't have time to waste."
"Don't worry, we can go today, just let me put my things away and get ready... If we're going with someone, I recommend you call her now and let her know," she commented, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Theos sighed in relief, taking a weight off his shoulders. He just needed to call Luna and go pick her up, as he didn't think the guards would let her through.
Camila grabbed her sword, her training uniform soaking wet, and she walked away to leave the training room where she had spent over three hours training with her sword.
Theos hadn't paid much attention to what was behind Camila, but now that she was gone, he saw... A pile of metal training dummies, destroyed in pieces.
