Chapter 106: First Round (1/2)
In the Ochyra University representatives backroom,
Tony was briefing the others, they're all gathering in a circle as they pray for the tournament success.
This is the first event that the first-year students of Ochyra University, this tournament is the first time for Ochyra University to make a name for themselves.
For Tony and Hera, this tournament is the best moment to establish Ochyra University's reputation.
”Remember, stay calm and focus on your channeling in this first round. It's all about the focus, channel the amount of mana you can perfectly control to create an elemental weapon that you're most comfortable with. Like this”, Tony said.
His hands glow with a grey hue, the mana is not excessive but enough.
Slowly but surely, a metallic sword filled with mana materializes in front of him.
The greyish mana gather in front of Tony and started to create a sword slowly, it turns into a long sword that reaches almost three meters.
After the sword was completed, Tony grabbed it and lay it on his shoulder.
He looks at the students and said, ”Just like that, no need to rush. At least you need to make one, I hope nobody fails to do this”
”You'll be scored by how fast you can materialize it, how durable it is, and how strong it is so if you can't make it fast just focus on the other two”
The students nodded their heads with determination, Ochyra University's name is on their shoulders.
Hera then added from the side, ”I will be watching for you all, so do your best!”, she said with a smile.
After getting ready themselves, they can hear the announcer was about to call them.
Tony glance lastly at the students and reminded, ”Our leader Rex just Awakened, so it will be hard for him to do the first round so you guys need to make up for his lacking”
Just as he said this, Tony then frowns, ”Wait, where's Rex?”
Hearing this, Hera also realizes Rex is missing, ”He left to search for a sword, I already told him to be back in thirty minutes”
”He's here”, Adahra said calmly.
After Adhara said that, Rex got into the backroom with hurried steps.
The other was looking at Adhara weirdly, they're confused as to how she knows Rex is near but they shrug it off.
All attention falls to Rex and the sword on his waist.
Although the sword Rex borrowed from Evelyn is still inside the scabbard, the others instantly notice that the sword is not a regular sword.
The sword is roaring with electricity, if not for the scabbard then maybe it will run rampant.
”What are you guys looking at? Am I late?”, Rex asks innocently, his words snapped everybody back to reality.
Hera then asks, ”Where did you get the sword from?”
Rex smiles mysteriously, ”Someone let me borrows it”
Hearing this, the others were confused.
Rosie and Adhara were also confused, 'Who would lend Rex such an extraordinary sword?'
”PLEASE WELCOME, OCHYRA UNIVERSITY!!”
The announcer shouted excitedly making the crowd goes wild, many of them wanted to see Rex who taunted Kevin publicly.
The gate opened revealing the cheers of thousands of people, the bright light shone to the Ochyra University representatives as Tony signals them to go in.
Rex walks first as he's the leader, he waves to the crowd.
Hera especially said to him to be friendly to the crowd,
Rex needs to at least make the front of a likable character for the Ochyra University, he doesn't want to but Hera requests this to him. She even begged him.
In the end, Rex agrees to it because Ochyra University is also his university.
On the other of the arena, Rex saw the Faraday University representatives already lined up.
Faraday University and Ochyra University representatives are split by a translucent barrier, which divides the arena into two.
The barrier is there to prevent them from fighting.
The first round is to compare their mana control, it will deduce how well of an Awakened these students are.
”Faraday University, the host of the tournament is on my left. The challenger is on my right, Ochyra University”
”The first round of this tournament will be mana control, each side will send one student for each turn to show off their mana control and it will be picked randomly”
After the announcer said that, Rex looks to the Faraday University representatives.
He then scans each one of them, 'There's five fire Elementalist, one wind Elementalist, one earth Elementalist, and one water Elementalist. For a university that shines in their fire element, it is as expected'
Rex looks at them and saw they all have confident looks, it is really different from his team's look.
Especially Rosie's expression, her expression is very pale that one can tell that she's dead nervous.
She once in a while glance at the second floor trying to find her parents.
It is as expected because Faraday University has years of history while Ochyra University just opened, the embedded pride and confidence are way in favor of the Faraday University.
Rex then looks at Kevin and scans him,

Kevin's stats are stacked with high ranking gear, coming from a big family and also as the star of Faraday University his equipment didn't come in a shock.
Looking at this, Rex immediately opens his stat tab.
He wanted to check how his weakened stats compared to him, 'It will certainly somehow even with him now, my power is in the mid-rank four realms before'
