Chapter 407 (1/2)

Accidental Victory (3)

“We didn’t do too bad, I’m sure Ye Academy’s overall ranking wouldn’t be awful.” Ye Lanyu didn’t have an opinion about it. They were both annihilated by Second Sister together, of course they would lose when they fought her alone.

The seventh princess thought the same but did not give up just because of this. She did her very best at the fight, hence it was an exciting match the audience enjoyed watching very much.

Although she lost, there was a deafening cheer from the crowds for her too.

When Ye Lang tossed the trophy to Second Sister, he praised the seventh princess, “Not bad, Little Seven! You’ll be better than Second Sister in a few years, she’s only a few years older than you.”

“Mm,” the seventh princess nodded with glee after she heard his praise.

However, Ye Lang didn’t seem to notice Second Sister was standing next to him.

“Ye Lang.” Second Sister glared at him.

“Ah, you’re still here…” he said, stunned.

“So you treat me as if I’m not here?”

“Oh, uh, Little Seven, let’s go. I’ll take you out for a celebration.” Ye Lang indeed treated her as if she wasn’t there. He literally ignored his sister, who won first place, to celebrate with the princess.

Ye Lang was long gone when Second Sister had a comeback. Even Ye Lanyu couldn’t catch up, she wouldn’t be able to either.

He strolled randomly around Sheng City with the princess, only the both of them-- though if you counted Little Xin, there were three of them.

The seventh princess loved this. They’d finally shaken off Ye Lanyu, she had time to be alone with Ye Lang.

This was the quiet time she had been looking forward to after the noisy events…

…

When the ranking competition ended, as everyone started to calculate the accumulated points for each school, they found Ye Academy was first --- barely.

Ye Academy won first place in both the alchemy and mixed category, second and third in the magic category, third in the warrior category and second in the team event. With this accumulation of accolades, they surprisingly won the overall ranking.

This was something no one expected, not even Ye Academy’s students.

It was due to a string of tiny reasons, i.e. Academy Number One did not win first place at the warrior category due to Fei’s appearance. If they did, they would’ve beaten Ye Academy by a huge margin.

At the same time, although Ye Lanyu and the princess winning first place at the mixed category only brought very few points to the team, this was the sliver of points that helped them beat Academy Number One. Since then, schools started to send elites down to the mixed category event too for it was still worth their time even if they didn’t earn as many points. A few points could be the key to winning.

Although these results were surprising, they made sense. This was the first time the Ye Academy was participating in this tournament but their elite were all from the Royal Institute of Education. Their participants were mostly already representatives of the Royal Institute!

The Royal Institute was already one of the top three schools here, and with the wildcards Ye Lang and Fei here, plus Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess’ seamless teamwork, the Ye Academy was able to gain a bit of advantage-- just enough to win first place.

With the loss of talents from the Royal Institute, they did not do well at the tournament. They ranked not only behind Violet Academy but also behind Vermilion Bird academy.

Once the rankings were finalised, Sheng City even invited every academy for a gala dinner at Miracle Square.

However, Ye Lang did not attend because he was in a battle against Xuan Yuanbing--- a battle between both of them.

“You little jerk, I forbid you from leaving.”
