226 Introduction (1/2)
While the crowd was fascinated at the trio on the circular arena. A certain group of students had their eyes hidden under a shade. All of the males and the females in the group crossed their arms especially the males.
”This is bad,” said one of them before following by a nod.
”Huh? Is your low-world IQ get ahead of you? Hahaha, you country bumpkin, you are at the presence of three powerful cultivators, feast your eyes well, your weak academy might learn a thing or two,” said one of the cultivators among the crowd.
He seemed also to be a student from an academy by his dressing. However, his words didn't manage to infuriate them at all. Instead, one of Nostria Academy said, ”No, you don't understand.”
”You see, that beautiful lady in dancing attire in the middle, lady Sophia, is in danger,” continued the student.
”Huh? Hahaha, are you on drugs? How can a powerful cultivator like her be in danger in Mabia? Besides, who would dare to provoke her backing? She is a Treas family member for fuck sake! If anyone dares to do so, he must have a greater lineage or came from the sky or something.”
The Nostria Academy student took a deep breath before he answered, ”Well, you're goddamn right.”
The student from another academy had a confused look before dropping the matter. Speaking with this fellow even further would only lower his intelligence. Alas, how could he know that his interlocutor was talking about a different kind of danger?
”Well, we won't bore you even further, overseers, let's take our seats,” said Sophia before she leaped to one of the three seats prepared for them. The seats got the best view to look the entire circular arena while directly below them were the seats for the five principals.
Both of the men could only smile wryly before they followed suit. Raising her beautiful hand Sophia snapped her finger, signaling the man with a mallet to hit the gong.
With a nod, the man hit it with all his might before the resounding sound stilled the Colosseum once more. As the sound slowly diminished, the crowd was at the edge of their seat as the five academies were about to make their entrance.
Suddenly, Sophia stood up as she said, ”I will allow myself to be the commentator of the Crown with utmost neutrality. Though I might not talk very much, I will do my best, now then, without further ado, here comes the first academy!”
Before the crowd could feel the surprise from her statement, one of the gates facing the arena gradually opened before footsteps were heard.
Leading the five students behind him was a well-built middle-aged man with handlebars mustache and long black hair. Wearing a black uniform, they made their way to the arena with pride and smile on their faces.
”There it is! The Snake Eye Academy!” cheered one of the crowds.
”Ah, Frion is there, leading the team!” said one of the crowds while pointing at a certain youth.
He had short black hair with a menacing look in his eyes. Though his face was quite a charming one, he didn't hide the brutality that resided within. With a grin on his face, the youth marched on.
”And there it is folks! The Snake Eye Academy, I heard that they are one of the favorites to win the Crown! Especially the young Frion, he sure looks promising, what say you old man Dan?” asked Sophia.
