Chapter 376 (1/2)

<hr><hr>

With nary a cloud in the sky, the moon is like a lonely silver plate up in the sky. Stars twinkled here and there as the moon rained down its soft glow onto Silvaria World Inst.i.tute, veiling it in a silver gauze. Anyone who is observing the night would probably find that the night is not as cool as it would seem.

In the villa area, a lot of the students aren't asleep yet. The fights during the day had them all too hyped or excited to sleep. Their hearts are still boiling from the fights they had witnessed today. They are just too invigorated to sleep.

It's only the second round and it's already so fascinating to watch. What would the third round of this tournament be like?

A lot of the students are secretly waiting and wis.h.i.+ng for the third round to come as soon as possible.

Some of the partic.i.p.ants also can't sleep. The faction leaders are frustrated that they can't make it into the top 10. Some of them had a very concrete idea why they lost, they lamented the arrival of so many strong newbies all at the same time.

They knew these killer rookies were strong and they were weak, the conclusion is foreseeable even to the most ignorant. They could have been in the top 10 along with Sylph, Caah, and Jaafar, now there's only 1 among the faction leaders who had entered the top 10.

After this tournament, Silvaria World Inst.i.tute won't be a peaceful place. It's because all the geniuses are gathered here from all corners of the world. Their ranks are a symbol of their strength and social standing. The top 10 used to be dominated by the imperial faction and the 9 n.o.ble factions.

Being ranked as one of the top 10 meant that they are the strongest of the land, an honor for their families. Now that they have lost their position among the top 10, this means that they had just brought dirt upon their clans. They can make up all the stories and excuses they want but it's not going to change the fact that they lost.

Some of the more small-minded individuals are already hating  Wu Yan & co. Those who are more honest with themselves gnashed their teeth in determination, they are going to get their glorious days back if it's the last thing they do.

Granted, their wishes might not come true but who can blame them for trying…

Those that aren't from a large clan, or scions of smaller families are starting to get nervous, they wondered if they would be able to defend their rankings, or even if they can get a rank or not.

As for the top 10 partic.i.p.ants, Caah, Sylph, Jaafar, and Fei Fei omitted, Wu Yan & co slept pretty soundly as if all this drama had nothing to do with them.

Well, Wu Yan also couldn't sleep.

In the villa area, on the rooftop of one of the villas. A figure sat there as he gazed up at the sky with his deep crimson eyes. His average face seemed more handsome when viewed together with the night scenery.

Bathed in the glow of the night, he looked like an envoy of the night. He is one with the night, it's just like he's born to coexist with this kind of scenery.

Perhaps it's not that surprising considering that he's a vampire, a creature of the dark. An envoy of the night is a lowly t.i.tle for a True Ancestor.

Although night time is the active time for vampires, Wu Yan's daytime behavior had been ingrained before he even bought True Ancestor so he would normally sleep at night as well.

Occasionally, he wouldn't be able to sleep due to his vampiric nature. In order to kill time, he would wander around just like this.

At times like this, he would start getting creepy and sneak into Mikoto, Hinagiku, and/or Ikaros' room for some night time recreational activities. But, since they had been fighting during the day, Mikoto and Hinagiku slept pretty early today. They also took Ikaros with them.

Without a place to go, Wu Yan climbed up on top of the villa to look at the moon. His heart grew calm when he gazed up at the moon.
