When Julius saw live on television that his two daughters were in the top ten, and his stepson was in first place, he partied a lot!
Fireworks were launched outside the house and inside the bedroom with Sonia…
.
.
Elijah and Maicon could not understand. The results were so ridiculous they couldn't believe it, the difference was huge!
Julia, who saw Elijah's expression, laughed a lot. It was nice to see how uncomfortable he was with this situation.
The same was true for Ariel, who saw Maicon's expression, she still snidely commented, ”Oh, I'm surprised you made it into the top 100~.”
Maicon's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his hands into fists.
Okay, he already expected Amon to be strong; that was nothing new to him. But even Ariel was way ahead of him. Before, she was inferior to him, which inflated his ego, thinking he was suitable for her, mainly because he was stronger, thus being able to 'protect' her.
Ariel, seeing his expression distort more and more, laughed so hard her shoulders shook. ”Pfft... Hahahahaha! A big fool~.”
”Ariel...!” Maicon's eyes narrowed.
”Yes?” Still laughing, Ariel managed to raise an eyebrow as she looked teasingly at Maicon.
By that time, Amon had already turned to look at Maicon too.
The moment he felt Amon's gaze, Maicon instinctively shivered with fear.
Amon's cold, indifferent eyes sent shivers down his spine. Maybe it's because of the results... But, whatever it was, he got angrier when he realized what happened. Especially seeing Ariel laugh out loud at him again.
”Silence!” The announcer said, then, as soon as everyone was silent, he added, ”Okay, the next stage is the finals, being fought among the top 100. Sleep well, and be there tomorrow. The tournament starts at 7 am, be there on time, or they will lose by WO.”
Many of the participants were looking at Amon, Julia, Maisa, and Ariel in disbelief.
Some who avoided having a confrontation against them sighed in relief. That means they made the right choice, or they might not have even made it through the second round and got a place in the finals.
While others were skeptical, they thought Amon and the girls somehow faked the results. Not believing that a group of unknown people who have never won any international tournament would be able to come out first.

After leaving the entrance to the mysterious realm, Nanda was in a limousine waiting for them.
Ariel was the first to enter.
She tapped the seat as she said, ”Amon, girls, come.”
Amon nodded, then he walked over.
Barbara, Maisa, and Julia followed.
Even Flavia had difficulty dealing with Ariel's boldness. She sighs, then she returns to her cold, indifferent expression. ”You tried hard. Come in, and, when we arrive, rest well.”
”Yes.” Elijah and Maicon's voices were not so lively, despite making it to the finals.
In addition to Elijah and Maicon, three other Stefano School students managed to qualify.
In fact, their results made them into the top 50, a level better than Elijah and Maicon.
As usual, the girl in the group of three blushed as she looked at Amon.
This made Barbara, Maisa, and Julia narrow their eyes.
There were already too many girls. They weren't willing to have more competitors...
The vice principal was flushed with happiness. His school was very prestigious, and many came to honor them for taking first place. While there were four other students in the top 10. Even five other students in the top 100.
The limo started moving as soon as everyone entered.
Nanda was all smiles as she said, ”Flavia, your students are outstanding. Aren't their results the best?!”
”Mm.” Flávia gave a superficial answer.
Nanda was used to it, so she didn't mind and started talking to Professor Acerola and the vice-principal.
”I had a feast prepared for everyone since today is a day to celebrate,” Nanda said with a smile.
”Yes?!” Julia and the rest yelled excitedly.
”Hehe~” Nanda laughed, ”I'm glad you like it.”
”Of course we will. We were eating unseasoned roast beef; we need something tasty~” Ariel stuck out her tongue.
”…” Elijah and the rest didn't do something like that and just ate some wild berries instead.
Nanda laughed in response.
