Chapter 1443 - Top 1000 II (1/2)
”Clair,” I said slowly; it's had been a decade I have seen her, and there are lots of changes that occurred in her, but I could still see the face of my childhood friend that has grown with me.
She had grown in extremely beautiful women rivaling that of Ellen and Sarah. She still had that Pink hair, which now grown darker, and her soft blue became piercing.
”Its nice to see you, Micheal,” She said softly, ”You too, Clair,” I replied back before both of us flew away toward the host; this is no place for a long talk, and we needed to have it.
There are many familiar people around; I spotted Rachel, Sarah, and Samual; Jim is not with them; he had made it clear to his organization that he did not wish to fight in the competition.
I was quite surprised to know the number of people I know here personally. Hundreds of people here that I know personally, many of them are friends and colleagues that I met in Grimm Battlefield and Ruins.
The Top 1000 gathered on a huge footing ring, looking at the millions of people that are looking at us in all directions.
”It is quite a surreal right being focus of millions of people,” Elina said, to that I couldn't help but nod.
I had been in crowds of millions, but I had never been the focus of them; here, I saw every person in the arena looking at me, it is giving me quite stage fright.
”These are the Top 1000, The Champions of this decade, the finest of humans,” Marla said loudly, rousing the audience to its extreme.
”From today, they will fight each other for the Title of Battle King/Battle Queen,” Marla said, rousing the audience further, making them frenzied in excitement.
She spoke for few more minutes; each of her worlds excited the crowd further that some of them barely control themselves. This excitement had loosened their control over their energy in a matter of few minutes; the whole arena was charged with stray energies.
Such concentration of stray energies is extremely dangerous, so dangerous that a normal Knight would explode in such an environment.
”Now, I will state the rules for the battles of Top 1000,” Marla said after the excitement of the audience died down by a little.
”The Top 1000 will be divided into ten groups of Hundred from Group 1 to Group 10,” ”Each Group will fight, all their members, mean every participant will have to fight 99 other of their group, and from each group, 10 of those who win maximum battles will get into the Top 100,” Marla said and waved her hand, and a huge screen appeared on the arena with images of all the participants.
As they appeared, the images on the huge screen begin to shake. Everyone watched with bated breath.
The preparation of the groups may seem random, but those at the high position have already divided; the screen is just for show.
Still, the participants did not which group they are in, but one thing is clear, the participants in each group would be balanced; they will put too many strong people in one group.
