42 Dome (1/2)

For the next few days, all students were to rest and have free time until the single battles begun the following week. The top 10 trainers of the group battles were able to sit out on the battles since it would be unfair for the others who participated

Ye Qin's trio which included Sun Zan naturally sat out to watch the battles from afar. Many of those who had been crushed by them fought hard against their peers to fight for recommendations into decent academies though those battles paled in comparison to the previous battles by far

Since Chen Jingyi's monster recovered during the few days, Wang Tao got up from his seat and walked over to her. ”May we have a battle later? I want to see how I fair against you.” he asked her

Chen Jingyi didn't reply but nodded her head after pausing for a few seconds. After gaining her approval, Wang Tao went to speak to a government official of the Ministry and asked for permission to duel against Chen Jingyi later on

After gaining their approval, Wang Tao went to sit down as the matches continued. The matchesseemed to last forever as Wang Tao yawned throughout the entire day. Each and every match throughout the day took over 20 minutes due to how small the difference in strength is between the monsters and only those with the Uncommon grade finished faster than the ones with Commons. Though the battles between Uncommon grades took even longer than the Common grade battles.Once it was finally his turn to battle, the government official whispered into the ears of the referee before saying into the mic

”That's the end of the first day of single matches, however, do not leave yet. Another match will be held in just a few minutes.” he said

”What? Another match?” someone said as he yawned slowly

”Arg we can't go yet?”

Seeing their reactions, the referee said ”Now, now, this last match will be an exciting one between Wang Tao and Chen Jingyi!”

”What? Weren't the top 10 supposed to be sitting out?” that same student who shouted everytime during the battles the week before said

”You idiot! They are allowed to battle each other, just not participate when the rest of us are.”

”Oh…”
