Chapter 127: The strongest girl
“Look look, it’s that team that’s ranked as weeds-level but still boasts about becoming champion.”
“Haha, this is really a bunch of comedians.”
The other teams took note of team Holy Dawn as soon as they entered the Arena of Fire and Blood.
“There are really a lot of people outside. It’s a good thing contestant teams have a tunnel reserved for them. At least we don’t have to line up to come in and watch the tournament, and we don’t need to buy tickets either,” Stingham said with a proud face, combing his hair at the same time.
“Eh?”
He suddenly noticed Ayrin holding many fruits and eating them, so he couldn’t stop himself from asking, “Ayrin, where did your fruits come from? I clearly remember you didn’t have any outside, how come you’re gorging yourself now?”
“I got them at the entrance over there. I asked them, they supply fruits free of charge in the stands reserved for teams participating in the tournament,” Ayrin explained. Then he handed over some fruits in front of Stingham. “Stingham, do you want to eat them? The peaches and longan fruits are both particularly sweet. Also, the oranges here seemed to be juicier than the ones back in school.”
“As if I want any. Ayrin, you’re a pig. We just ate breakfast, you’re already gorging yourself on fruits.” Stingham rolled his eyes and said he didn’t want anything, but after a bit, he looked at Ayrin seemingly enjoying himself very much as he ate, so he couldn’t stop himself and kicked Ayrin. “Let me taste one.”
“Eh, it’s really not bad. Give me another couple.” Maybe, when you eat something with someone who had a particularly big appetite, your own appetite would become bigger as well. You would feel that food was particularly tasty. After just a few bites of the peach Ayrin had given him, he immediately felt that it tasted very good. He was immediately in high spirits.
“It’s free anyway. I’ll go and grab a lot.” Ayrin immediately went and hugged a great bunch. “Moss, Chris, Rinloran, you guys dig in too.”
“Is it really tasty?”
“It seems like it’s really pretty good.”
“Haha, I’ll go and grab some more.”
Everyone in team Holy Dawn started gorging themselves on fruits. Ayrin had already emptied several big pots of free fruits at the entrance.
“Look at that group of guys!”
“Look look!”
“Haha! Did they come to participate in the tournament or are they on a trip for fruits? These people are really too funny.”
“Did this guy never eat a fruit or what. It’s like he’s scrambling to snatch them. I already saw him eat more than a dozen peaches already, can he still keep eating?”
Team Mountain Kings saw this scene just moments after they sat in the stands. They suddenly couldn’t repress their loud laughter.
…
Half an hour before the start of the tournament, the Arena of Fire and Blood was almost packed full already.
In the funnel-shaped stands surrounding the protruding field, the atmosphere was ardent enough it seemed about to ignite.
Apart from the contestants standing on the field, anyone seemed especially insignificant in such an atmosphere.
“The referee is here!”
“The guys from Dragon Breath Academy and Sea God Academy are here! Looks like the tournament is about to begin!”
All of a sudden, what made all the spectators even more excited was, following after two referees, the two teams separately climbed the stairs and reached the field.
One of them was the team Ayrin saw the previous day, team Sea God, wearing deep blue.
The other team wore bronze-colored uniforms, with pretty patterns shaped like slanted red clouds on both their backs and their chests.
“That’s Dragon Breath Academy?” Ayrin didn’t have the slightest sense of shame. He felt that he should eat since he liked to eat. He’d already eaten two big pots of free fruits in succession. His attention presently gathered on this team.
At the same time, the simple introduction he read about this team in Breith Magazine surfaced in his mind.
Monster-level team. Fought its way into the nationals for twelve years in succession, reaching the top four eight times out of the twelve. Three times champions. They were truly an indisputable team of kings.
There had been so many teams crowded together the previous day, so many people, so these strong teams hadn’t seemed especially stunning. But now, when such a powerful team appeared by itself, even Ayrin could feel a mighty aura hard to put into words radiating from this team.
“Dragon Breath Academy is the first academy on Doraster in the literal sense. It was founded by the concerted efforts of the arcane masters who’d participated in the War of the Dragons back in the days. That’s why, Dragon Breath Academy not only has the greatest amount of powerful arcane skills out of all the academies, they even have an amount of taboo skills that’s hard to imagine. Every year, there are powerhouses who can use taboo-level skills appearing in their team.
Sophia watched this team clothed in bronze. She was also shaking. She whispered, “Also, they say the overall strength of this particular team can be ranked third among all the Dragon Breath Academy’s teams in the past fifty past years. Outsiders are guessing that, among the five main members of their team, there are four members with dragon blood.”
“Four dragon bloodlines?” Ayrin couldn’t help but turn around and glance at Stingham.
“Do you see that boy with long curly hair, the tallest one? He’s the captain of team Dragon Breath, Morgan. The power of his fire skills is especially powerful, so outsiders speculate that he must have some fire dragon blood.”
