Due to the tight schedule, Sophia and Lucia used all their resources to create a big buzz for this internal battle.

Yelena's best friends, junior high classmates, elementary school classmates, even neighbors and their celebrity relatives all came knocking, just to get a seat as a guest, showing how close they were to Logan.

Famous people and politicians in the Federation, seeing how big this was getting, naturally didn't want to miss the chance to build a connection. They all reached out to people around Logan.

Even Uesugi Tora and the Duke of Storm Wind City got their phones blown up. A large part of the Federation's City Lords wanted to get close to Logan, and were willing to come to the arena in person, or even invest and sponsor the event so the battle would be played non-stop in the central squares of every major city around the clock.

In the next 24 hours, Sophia and Lucia worked non-stop to handle all the applications. The venue needed to be expanded, and the rules had to be rewritten. What was originally an internal battle in the Genius Training Camp had turned into a public competition.

In Sophia's office, Natalia hung up the phone in frustration and glared at Logan. "It's your stupid idea. I just got a new phone number, and no one knew it. But they still found it. Everyone is begging me to be a guest speaker."

Logan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "A guest speaker who just stands on stage gets 200 million Federation credits. One who speaks gets 500 million."

Natalia rolled her eyes. "You're obsessed with money? I won't be your money-making machine."

Logan grinned: "I'll split it with you."

Natalia's tired eyes lit up instantly.

Without wasting a word, she dialed an old contact. "Mr. Dracula, a guest speaker who just stands on stage gets four hundred million. One who speaks gets one billion."

As soon as Natalia said that, Sophia and Lucia both turned to look at her, shocked.

They hadn't expected Natalia to become a greedy middleman, and they each wore a look of disdain.

Sophia: "Ugh! A merchant with no conscience!"

Lucia: "Greedy woman!"

Natalia ignored the two women's sneering looks and kept waiting for a reply.

Soon, a message came in. Natalia pressed the speakerphone button, and the old, deep voice of Count Dracula filled the room: "Please make sure to reserve three standing spots and one speaking spot for me. The sponsorship money will arrive in ten minutes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophia and Lucia both widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at Natalia.

Logan looked at Natalia with a hint of admiration and gave her a thumbs-up.

At that moment, Natalia's phone rang with a notification sound of the money being transferred. The pleasant tone of the Federal Bank sounded especially sweet to everyone's ears.

Natalia picked up the phone, politely thanked Count Dracula for his generosity, and then hung up with a proud smile.

Right after that, Logan's phone also rang with a payment confirmation. Natalia immediately transferred half of the money to his account.

Just that one deal made Natalia's income almost equal to the cost of 300 of Logan's familiars. After all, A-level familiars didn't have a fixed price.

Some people had bad luck, like when Logan tried to sell his angel familiars before—he couldn't even get one billion Federal Credits.

But with good luck, hundreds or even thousands of billions could be paid for a single A-level familiar.

Natalia's actions made Sophia and Lucia's eyes glow with jealousy. Their faces twisted with regret, almost looking like werewolves.

Luckily, there were still some celebrities and influencers who hadn't responded yet. Sophia and Lucia looked at each other, and without hesitation, they started replying to calls one by one, trying to get as much as they could.

Of course, the original price of one billion had been raised.

As soon as the news spread, the celebrities who had already gotten their spots were extremely happy.

They had been worried about the high sponsorship fees before, but now that the price had gone up, they were all in a good mood, feeling like they had made a great deal.

Sophia and Lucia didn't expect the celebrities to react this way. They became even more greedy and decided to auction off the last ten seats.

Another 24 hours passed, and Sophia and Lucia had completely lost track of how much money they had collected.

After 48 hours of non-stop work, the women still hadn't closed their eyes, and they were as energetic as crazy rabbits.

Logan yawned and gave a quick check of the arena ten kilometers away.

That was the traditional battlefield for the internal fights in the Genius Training Camp — old but strong.

Now, thousands of students and teachers were surrounding the place. They were using all sorts of familiars to wildly rebuild the audience seats.

Clearly, the original seats weren't enough to hold all the "tickets" the women had sold.

Logan figured that the income from this time would be enough to fund his inspection office for a whole year. He called out to the girls: "Take a break, okay? Have the schedule for tomorrow's matches been confirmed?"

When Sophia heard Logan's question, she slapped her forehead and quickly called the members of the internal battle committee.

After confirming everything again, the process of the graduation internal battle was basically set.

Even though it was held in advance for Logan, the Genius Training Camp still wanted to keep the traditional rules and ensure a fair competition.

This fight would be decided by a random draw, not just a solo show by Logan.

However, since Logan was about to take part in the Supernova Challenge, the camp allowed the trainees who were eliminated to form a "League of Revenge" and challenge the champion of the elimination rounds.

Logan raised an eyebrow. "That sounds good. Maybe I can fight a few more matches."

Natalia rolled her eyes. "Dream on. Your current value means every match will cost money."

Logan stopped for a moment, then looked at Natalia with a clear expression of admiration. "You really should've been a merchant."

Natalia fixed her hair and said calmly: "Before becoming a City Lord, I was already a businesswoman."

When she said that, Logan turned to look at Sophia and Lucia and asked: "What kind of business did she run?"

Sophia and Lucia immediately rolled their eyes. "Robbery," they said in unison.

Logan stared for a moment, then said: "I didn't ask anything."

…

On the day of the internal battle, the arena had already been completely transformed.

As soon as Logan arrived at the edge of the venue, his eyes were overwhelmed by a sea of flags and stalls.

He didn't expect that in just a few days, these vendors had managed to come up with so many new ideas.

There were stalls selling badges, toys, uniforms, cards, balloons, paid photo sessions with role-play characters, ticket scalpers, and even gambling booths. It was everywhere.

Logan frowned and turned to Sophia. "I never understand how you manage to get more vendors than spectators at every match."

Sophia laughed. "Don't underestimate these people. Their associations have power that's not much weaker than the Federal Cabinet."

Logan raised an eyebrow. "Like the Alchemist Guild has people like Klein and his teacher, are there also such weirdos in other associations?"

Lucia nodded. "Don't underestimate these associations. Some familiars tamers don't want to be corrupted by the politics of the Federation, so they stay away from the government."

Natalia also nodded. "Those who don't like the political games usually join associations. That way, they don't have to get involved in the fighting, but still get support and resources."

At this, Logan turned to look at the line of people entering the arena. Some of the Genius Training Camp members were wearing badges from various associations.

After asking Sophia, he finally understood.

After the first internal battle, most of the members in the Genius Training Camp had received invitations from various associations, universities, the military, and even the Federal Cabinet.

As some of the best members of the Human Federation, they had their future planned out long before.

"So, their performance in this internal battle also affects the reputation of the major powers?" Logan smiled, looking at the line nearby and recognizing some familiar faces.

This action also caught a lot of attention. People around Logan stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.

In an instant, popcorn, streamers, and balloons fell to the ground. The noisy atmosphere of the match suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Sophia grabbed Logan and pulled him toward the arena. "Come on, let's get in quickly. Some people have recognized you."

The group moved fast, but just a few steps away, they caused a big commotion.

As the top seed in this internal battle, Logan had special treatment.

Even the changing rooms and rest areas were separated from the regular members.

Of course, he had sponsored each of them with an A-level familiar. Nobody would question such special treatment.

After all, they had accepted his help, and they were all classmates. Nobody would be upset over something like that.

The match soon began.

Since there was only one arena, the elimination rounds had to be split into groups.

Logan sat in the rest area, watching the fights on the arena. He was quite surprised.

Now, he started to understand the real value of the Genius Training Camp.

If before the first internal battle, the members of the Genius Training Camp had the best training resources.

Then before this second one, they were being nurtured by various powerful groups.

Logan could clearly see that each of them now had their own direction.

For example, some joined the Alchemist Guild and started fighting more like Klein.

Others joined the Adventurer Guild, and they were even more ruthless in battle than Blair.

More importantly, these trainees were now mostly at the Master level, much stronger than before.

As Logan was thinking, a sudden commotion broke out on the field.

He looked up and saw that the champion of the first group had been decided.

The big screen in the arena clearly showed a message: "Gwen, 10 wins in a row!"
