Chapter 208: Details of a Mission Emerge Before the Match
“Teacher Donna, just what are those fellows from Holy Dawn Academy doing?”
In the residence of River Bend Academy, one of the mainstays of River Bend Academy’s team, Alaina, the girl nicknamed “Girl of Flames,” set down the magazines in her hands. She couldn’t resist asking Donna, “If we encountered Golden Stag Academy’s team, we would definitely formulate and enact a specialized and intense training routine before the fight. Do you think that Holy Dawn Academy’s team can still win this without Rinloran and Chris and the the other members in their current states?”
“The outcome of a fight is never decided by simply the level of the participants.” Donna looked at Alaina and the rest of the doubtful River Bend Academy team members as she continued with a smile, “Don’t forget that before this national tournament, Chris, Ayrin, and Rinloran were completely ignored – everyone believed that Holy Dawn Academy’s results would be the same whether they stepped onto the stage or not. Yet in the end, they have made to where they are now. A strong general has no weak soldiers. Carter, Liszt, and their other teachers are all peak existences in the Kingdom of Eiche. Thus, in all honesty, I believe anything can still happen.”
……
“Come Ivan, cheers!”
“Charlotte, come eat some more cherry tomatoes. They are good for your complexion.”
As if on a vacation, Moss continued to eat and drink. This time, however, he was in a different restaurant and eating with Ivan, Charlotte, and several others from Divine Shield Academy instead of people from Iron Forest Academy.
At this time outside the entrance of a training hall in the athlete village, several burly boys from Iron Forest Academy sat in an organized fashion, as if they were guarding the entrance.
Their expressions were all abnormally ugly and several of them even had cold sweat covering their foreheads.
“Jesus… I suffer an heavy blow every time I witness this guy’s improvement speed. Sometimes I even feel the impulse to give up on becoming a battlemaster.”
As Wilde wiped away some of the beads of sweat on his forehead, he couldn’t help but shake his head an quietly say, “Even boss, with his bloodline and talents, can’t keep up with his improvement speed.”
“There are still four days until the match. Regardless of whether they win or lose against Golden Stag Academy, they will be shocking everyone once again.” Several other boys couldn’t resist any longer and also wiped away their sweat. They sighed deeply.
Within the training hall, both Ayrin and Ferguillo were both drenched in sweat as they stood bent over with their hands on their knees.
“How are you doing, do you still want to continue?” Ferguillo asked upon seeing Ayrin stand up once more.
“Of course. If I am to fight, then I must fight until I can no longer move a single muscle.” Ayrin’s eyes began to burn with fighting spirit once more as he continued, “Otherwise, how can I manage to defeat such a powerful enemy like Rinsyi?”
“Good, then come again.”
Ferguillo took a deep breath as a strange sheen once again emerged in his pink left eye.
Whoosh!
In the next second, he and Ayrin turned into two streaks of rapidly moving light. Bursts of light erupted between the two as their arcane energies continuously collided.
……
“Where did all of these arcane teams come from?”
“Why does it seem like they all suddenly appeared out of nothingness?”
“Did they all race over here just to see the tournament? I feel like there weren’t so many arcane teams in the past years.”
“I don’t know. But I heard that many of these arcane teams are actually from the Kingdom of Doa.”
“Arcane teams from the Kingdom of Doa? No wonder some of them have accents when they speak and are dressed so differently from the arcane teams of our Kingdom of Eiche.”
“Is it because the level of our national tournament has been steadily rising these last few years? Is that why even arcane teams from the Kingdom of Doa are rushing over to watch?”
“……”
Atop plaza outside of the the Arena of Fire and Blood, several students wearing the uniform of Dragon Breath Academy conversed with each other out of curiosity whilst observing their surroundings.
Ever since three days ago, the number of arcane teams within Eichemalar had clearly surged.
Now, regardless of where one went, one would be able to see an arcane team which was clearly not made up of students.
Moreover, these arcane teams all wore very unique uniforms. Some wore extremely accessorized and luxurious arcane master clothes reminiscent of palace robes while others wore thick and heavy leather or metal armor and carried around giant metal weapons with exquisite engravings and inscriptions.
