Chapter 92 Class Change Battles 2 (1/2)
”So, prepare yourself physically and mentally as we make our way towards the training grounds.”
Elder Fang made a gesture with his hand and all the Watchers immediately stood up in unison. They were like soldiers as they moved. Quick and sharp.
Elder Fang came down from the altar and went to the exit first. Then, when they saw that he was gone, the Watchers guided the teams into the same line they had arrived with before silently going out.
After a few more minutes of walking around the campus, they finally arrived in a light brown dome-arena. Its stony walls were made to curve, probably done using magic, and were shaped to resemble half of a complete sphere. It looked like a huge boulder because of the absence of windows but surprisingly, the area was cool and breezy.
Upon entering inside, Inna was actually shocked to see that the area was huge. Like, seriously huge.
By what she saw, she can roughly estimate its diameter by about, a hundred and fifty meters and its height was about, sixty meters tall. She was also quite shocked about their architectural designs because they were almost as good as her own world. Her shock was actually coming from the fact that their world is a degenerate in most aspects, like bathing and hair care. Well, it must be possible because they have enchantment magic. They were probably using it to support the whole thing and make it bend the way they wanted it to. So, after analyzing it closely, it actually makes sense that the architectural aspect of their world would be great though, not as great and secure as her world's.
Because she's sure as hell, that if the magic fails, the whole thing will surely fall apart because it got no cables and stuff that's keeping it together.
Inside, it was strangely well lit and well ventilated despite having no windows. Also, she saw huge stony stairs-like chairs surrounding the dome. She almost mistook them for stairs because of the way they were cascaded. They truly retained the arena-like arrangement of the chairs that it reminded her of that famous Colosseum back in Rome.
The Watchers ushered the students to the center of the dome where Elder Fang was waiting as he floated above all of them.
”Here, we hold our annual ranking matches and our Practical Lessons. Those who are Witches and Warlocks should make themselves familiar with the area. After all, they'll be the ones who would be visiting this place often.”
The students proficient with curses all nodded their heads in understanding.
”Now, I will be telling you the technicalities in this event. As you all know, it's been tradition to have team battles in this event. A team will have to battle another team. This will help you learn cooperation and make you adapt to your role in a team, whether it would be support, or being the vanguard. Use your spells to your advantage and read your opponents moves and spells well to be able to win.”
”When a team defeats another team, the Watchers assigned would give their verdict on who performed well enough to be ranked up and have their class changed. On the losing team's side, if they were unable to defeat a student from a lower class, it is possible for them to be demoted to another class as well. The decision will all be in the hands of your Watchers and myself, included.”
”In fact, in some extreme cases, if someone were to act so badly, expulsion can be made possible.”
Inna saw Elder Fang's gaze stop at her for quite some time before continuing on looking around.
”The rules are simple. No physical blows allowed. Physical blows imbued with magic enhancement spells are okay. But pure Combat skills are absolutely forbidden in these battles.”
