Chapter 268: Bruno VS Crimson (2/2)

But Kiko, silently said his sorry to Almina Amulet, because he couldn't give her the number one spot in this competition because that number one spot was for the King only.

And that King was… 'wait, who is that weirdo?' Kiko thought upon seeing a guy in a suspicious outfit. He scoffed. Most of the trainees here were wearing outfits that were comfortable to them.

So most of them were wearing different clothing. There were some who chose to wear their academy uniforms and some who were wearing their training suit.

However, that weirdo was wearing a cloak, covering his whole body from head to toe.

”Hehe! Idiot!” Kiko muttered and shook his head. Regardless, he felt a weird feeling of dissatisfaction towards that person. Well, 'a nobody' was not worthy of his attention. After Kiko darted his gaze away from the weirdo who was leaning his back on the wall near the entrance, he suddenly heard a loud war cry.

”Oooohhh!!!”

It was coming from that gorilla who always disapproved of his actions. That person who had the name of Bob. He was surrounded by his circle of friends as well, together with that meek-looking girl.

Kiko shook his head and sighed. Then thought, 'another weirdo.' He smirked and sent another glance at Almina Amulet. Unexpectedly, her eyes were still glued to the monitor. ”Ahem!” Kiko cleared his throat and focused on himself. He was excited about the start of the competition.

The surrounding was noisy. Meanwhile, they were in the waiting room backstage. Well, it wasn't only an ordinary room. It was a grand hall. After all, there were a total of 300 of them.

Everyone fell silent when they finally heard the voice of Instructor Beth. As she was appointed as the announcer, everyone immediately understood that the start of the competition was finally here after hearing her voice.

”Ladies and gentlemen, good morning…” Instructor Beth first greeted everyone. The audience around the arena and even the participants in the back-stage were broke into a loud whistle. After all, Instructor Beth was oozing with heavenly sex-appeal.

After greeting everyone else. She followed with a quick inspirational speech.

Then lastly she called out the participating pair. ”And now! Without further ado! Let's welcome our first pair of competitors!”

Everyone started at the large monitor, inside it, a pair of squares could be seen. And the letters 'VS' could be seen in the middle of those squares.

Inside the squares was the fast shuffling of profile pictures of all the participants.

Everyone's heartbeat was loudly beating while the shuffle continued rolling.

After 5 seconds, the squares had finally stopped with the shuffle of profile pictures. Then, everyone widened their eyes.

Finally, the pair who would be fighting first was revealed!!!

”Now, let us call the participants on the screen!”

”Woohooo!” One of Kiko's friends shouted happily upon seeing his newly hair-cut picture on the screen.

”Hehe, congrats, Bruno!”

”Break the leg! Dude!”

”Sure thing, dude!”

Before saying anything to cheer his friend, Kiko glanced at the monitor first. Bruno's opponent was that weirdo. He didn't know who was behind that cloth. Since they were asked to register their nicknames instead of real names in this competition, he had no idea who was behind the cloth. He glanced around and saw the other members of the elite. Kiko believed that except for those from the Elite classroom, only a few that could be counted with the fingers in one hand had a chance to defeat Bruno.

Especially that Bruno had a considerable improvement this whole month. He was more adept now in using his wind magic and the other element.

Bruno had the nickname of Void, while his enemy was… 'Crimson? Pufft what a joke. That name sounds so nothing special,' Kiko chuckled. ”Finish it faster than 10 seconds!” Kiko just said it. Then the two did a fist-bumped. ”Alright, it will be done in just 5 seconds!” Said Bruno confidently.

Almina was feeling conflicted. She couldn't settle for some reason. ”That person, just who is he?” She mumbled while staring at the back of the person who came to the stage first.

'Crimson?' She uttered in mind while reading the nickname of that person.

Now the two contestants were facing 20 meters away

from each other.

”Dude, don't you feel hot with that outfit?” Bruno asked sarcastically. But his enemy remained silent and he got no reply.

Just then, ”Start!”
