Chapter 104: Gathering of elites (2/2)
”Dumbass, you don't know about them?”
”Well, they are not the type of people who showed themselves in the public more often.”
”Hilion Gustav the first son of the Main Family of Gustav family! I heard he has a younger brother too!”
”Do you mean the guy named Gilion Gustav?”
”Yeah, him!”
”I saw him the other day in the adventurers guild, together with Miss Ella the popular Artist!”
”WOW JUST WOW! That's some whole different level of gossip you have there dude!”
”I'm not lying though! I even have some stolen pictures of them!”
”.....”
”Nooo! The pure Miss Ella cannot be with someone! Let's boycott her show if ever she dated someone!” A man wearing a hooded black robe shouted.
”The heck, dude, don't be too rude to Miss Ella!”
”Tsk, idiots!” The man in black robe clicked his tongue.
The topic of the crowd turned into a personalgossip.
On the other hand,
Harou Lowe and Ember Lupine fell silent at the appearance of Hilion Gustav.
”Hehe, This competition is rather done in a bold way. Maybe this is how the empress wanted the world to know how our grand family disciplines the dogs!”
Ember had an angry face, like an angry wolf who wanted to crunch the person in front.
Beside him, Cinder was shaking her head. For some reason, she felt dizzy being surrounded by a crowd of people. If she had a choice she would rather roll inside her long pillow and dive in a VR game all day long. She hated going outside. She even hated going to the academy and was almost absent for the entire month.
Harou, on the other hand, was having a pulse surfaced on his face but he remained quiet. Beside him, his cousin Lyka was having an indifferent face.
”Hilion, don't start a fight before the competition start!” Another group came in.
Hilion grinned at the familiar voice coming from behind him.
”Theodore Hugo,” Hilion whispered the name.
Hugo was one of the branch families of the Gustav family. Although Hugo was only a branch family, Hilion would not dare to openly provoke them.
”Oh no, even the branch family of Gustav family is here also. The popular Hugo family who were tasked to defend the borders of the empire!” A random person within the crowd shouted.
A moment later,
”Fufufufu, is this the gathering of the Elite family of the empire?” A chuckle from someone was heard by all of them.
”Perhaps it is,” added another one.
All the people in the area glanced and saw the other elite family.
”The Gorthalion family together with the Senrod family also came to participate!”
”Now, who among these elite families were going to be the champion?” Someone asked.
More members of elite families in the empire continued coming, from their branch families to their main family. Most of them were the young generation.
It was also a good trial to test the youngster of the empire, andto see which families had the most promising magicians.
But it's not only a simple competition. Because it also affects their ranking in the future. So not only their young ones were here to participate. Even some of their strongest family members were here too.
The surrounding was very noisy with different types of whispers and shouts from the crowd of people.
The public square of the main city of the empire has a total of 2 baseball fields wide. But at this moment, the place was almost filled with people although not
entirely.
Some sprites were flying overhead. And some people were riding their personal transport birds to see a full clear view from above for the better video recording.
A moment later, everyone immediately fell quiet when one of the soldiers announced the arrival of the empress.
They saw her walking towards the podium in the middle of the public square.
This whole event was being watched live in the other Kingdoms and Cities. Especially it was the live recording fromEncantasia Empire. Everyone wanted to see how strong their magicians were.
One of these cities was of course the Human City Zone 7.
The Human City Zone 7 became a bustling city after the appearance of the dungeon. But right at this moment, most people in the City were chilling at some pub or bars while staring at the widescreen inside the establishments. They were waiting for the start of the competition that was going to be held in the Encantasia Empire.
Somewhere inside the room, specifically in the room of the academy's Ace. Miss Ice, Almina, and Maena together with Kesha were staring at the large monitor. Although, they could watch it using their Cyber Screen, watching it with others was more enjoyable.
The three girls asked the Elder for a day off to watch the competition that was going to happen in the empire. Well, they already did their morning training.
At the moment, Maena and Almina were asking about things Ice knew about the Encantasia Empire.
”Really, Miss Ice?” A sudden question from Almina.
”Mhm, the magicians in the Encantasia had different ways of fighting,” Ice replied.
Suddenly,
”Woah, is she the empress?” Kesha asked.
Almina, Maena, and Ice glanced back at the monitor and saw the gorgeous Encan lady wearing an emerald gown and cloak, and on her head was a crown. She was walking towards the stage, beside her were the Royal Knights of the Empire together withKnight-Captain Borge Bergal.
”Yes, she is the Empress Eleanna Encanta of the Encantasia Empire,” Ice said.
”So beautiful...” Almina muttered.
”Yeah, she is.”
”Although the empress is no doubt beautiful on a different level, who I mean is the girl beside her,” Almina said while pointing to the girl beside the empress.
”Ah, she... she is a popular artist in the Empire. If my memory serves me right, her name is... Ella... Merea Ella. Looks like they will be using her magic for the battlefield of the competition,” Ice said.
Merea Ella? Almina whispered.
