Chapter 112: The Academy Stand (1/2)
It took a few minutes for him to hand out the rewards to the top fifty participants.
”Parents and the representative sent by the parents of the top fifty participants, please make your way to the stage.” Instructor Leonard announced.
Before the tournament started, the academy had called the parents or guardians of all the students to come to the academy for some purpose. They also told them that if they can't afford to come today, then they should at least send a guardian that can make important decisions for their children in their place. The parents who had free time had attended the tournament. While those who couldn't make it in time, they sent a trustworthy person in their stead.
”Why are we being called on stage?”
”Who knows? Anyway, we will know once we are there.”
The ones who were called felt a bit bewildered, but they still stood up from their seats and went towards the arena.
”Eh, what's he doing here?” Elliot's eyes widened when he saw Charles walking up the stage. Charles smiled towards him and waved his hand. Elliot responded with a nod of his own.
Then, Elliot caught the sight of a familiar figure in his eyes. ”Eh, elder magician is also coming on stage! Is he related to someone here?”
Elliot looked here and there with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to look for someone who shares similarities with the elder magician, be it in looks or ability. He used his godly right eye to obtain information about them.
After he gained the information of all the students and compared them with the information about the elder magician, he found out that the only person with the highest chances of being related to him was none other than his childhood friend!
”Master Seer is either his father or grandfather. That's probably the closest to the truth assumption I can make with the information I obtained by using my eye.”
While the parents were gathering in the arena, a few staff members also came on stage. Each of them was holding several magic contracts in their hands.
”Distribute the magic contract among them,” Instructor Leonardo said, signaling the staff members to give one each to the parents and guardians of the students.
”Yes, sir!” The six beautiful staff ladies nodded their cute heads. Then, they moved their petite bodies and gave a magic contract to each of the adults here.
”What is this?”
”Why are you giving us a magic contract?”
”Is there a reason behind this?
The parents and guardians of the students wondered the reason behind their actions. Were they called here to give a pledge? Or is it something entirely else? Just what's going on?
”We are equally as clueless about it as you are.”
”We don't know anything about it.”
”Sirs and madams, please be patient.”
