Chapter 179: Might of the Victor

Translator: Double_LEditor: Hitesh_

Students from the other four academies were busy checking each other out, probably because they were all elites. It seemed like the rest of the academies were also forming their teams by blending senior students with the freshmen. Hence, only a few recognized each other while most of them were new faces. Seniors were crucial in tournaments like this. If a team were made up completely of freshmen, they would definitely be defeated by Capth miserably.

As students from Capth entered the arena, the candidates from other academies instantly felt like they had become chimpanzees in a zoo. It was a strange feeling indeed as the students from Capth showed no signs of respect and were very proud of themselves, even though the participating candidates were the elites of their respective academies.

Yet, it couldn’t be helped since they were the students of a famous S-Ranked academy.

Nevertheless, everyone would admire ”celebrities” like Ma Xiaoru; people from every academy was seen drawn to her automatically.

The first match was survival challenge. Unlike the previous one between Ayrlarng and Bernabeu, the scenario this time would be selected from the S-Ranked archive; the difficulty would be extremely high, and the success rate would be lower, and even the students of Capth would find it difficult.

Finally, the match began, and everyone focused on the monitor immediately, staring at the live feed of every participant down there. The winning condition of this S-Ranked difficulty scenario was simple, which was to reach the designated goal and survive until one of the teams was completely wiped out. There was no time limit in this around, which was sort of unfavorable for Capth. Yet, the candidates of the S-Ranked academy were up for a challenge, in fact, they were not quite bothered by it.

The difference between Capth and Cruxs was just like how Ayrlarng and Bernabeu used to be, not to mention a few candidates from Capth were extremely strong. The awaiting candidates were seen gasping and startled by Capth’s amazing performances. However, Wang Tong fell asleep in the middle of the match. Apparently, he had been spending the whole night brainstorming his Battlecraft Combat strategies; no wonder he was so exhausted.

As for the rest of the team, some were sighing, and some were clapping as they continued watching the match. Surprisingly, Capth didn’t send out all of its team members to take part in this round; even the renowned Li Ruo-Er was nowhere to be seen. Apparently, Capth was confident enough to only send out five students in this round.

In the end, Capth won by 2:0. Clearly, the S-Ranked difficulty was much tougher than expected. The result of this match was not able to fully demonstrate the real performances of Capth. After all, the S-Ranked difficulty was also too much for their own candidates. However, Capth was about to show their extreme dominance in the upcoming rounds.

Up next would be Intel Programming Battle, which was King’s field of expertise. Apparently, this boy genius was able to own his opponent even though the opposing guy was a third grader. The poor guy was absolutely crushed, even though he had two more years of experience than King.

King rubbed his eyes after the match ended; it wasn’t even challenging. King’s victory had officially kickstarted Capth’s killing spree! The poor third grader lost not because he was weak, but because King was way too strong!

In the Heavy Armed Brawl, Jia Gang had successfully owned his opponent with his brutal strength; the difference in terms of strength between him and his opponent was like heaven and earth. As soon as Jia Gang won, he immediately unleashed a fierce roar and showed off his muscular body, sort of looking like a giant grizzly bear.

It seemed like Capth was not planning to go easy on their opponents after all.

Students from the other academies felt uneasy, as their ears were surrounded by the cheers from Capth’s students, most probably because they were about to face the same opponents very soon.

Clearly, watching their opponents’ live performances was way more torturing than looking at their personal data.

Battlecraft Combat was Cruxs’ last chance of scoring points. It would be alright if they lost, but nothing was more humiliating than getting zero points throughout the tournament.

In the next three rounds of Battlecraft Combat, Capth had decided to send out another first grader, Kal, to ”entertain” their guests!

Battlecraft Combat and METAL Combat were the most important subjects in every academy. These subjects were also the most popular subjects amongst students, mostly because those who were able to shine in this two subjects would become the next celebrities in their academies.

Capth’s students went wild as Bisu showed up in the spectator seating area; he was truly a celebrity of the academy. Somehow, the candidates from other academies were startled by Capth’s list of candidates. Clearly, Bisu was already more than enough to single-handedly destroy each and every one of them, yet it seemed like Capth had gone a bit too far to put in Flash on the list as well. However, today they would be joining the spectators instead of participating in the matches.

The candidate from Cruxs was pissed off. Clearly the two of them were sitting in the spectating area because they were confident that Kal was definitely capable of handling all three rounds by himself.

Bisu, however, turned towards the students of Ayrlarng and saw his old rival Best. Both geniuses acknowledged each other’s presence instantly.

Finally, the match began, and Kal’s performance was absolutely spectacular, it didn’t take him long to beat the crap out of his opponent. Capth wasn’t even bothered to switch out Kal, as they were confident that he would be able to win three rounds in a row!

In round two, Kal had obviously won the moment he unleashed his Art of the Hellfire Spark at the very beginning, knocking out his opponent within ten minutes.

As for round three, Kal’s opponent made a terrible mistake at the beginning due to the nervousness of fighting against a stronger opponent. Hence Kal was able to subdue the poor dude easily and won three times in a row, scoring another three points for Capth.

The students of Cruxs were terribly crestfallen, as all matches of Battlecraft Combat ended.

Up next would be METAL Combat, which was the main focus of every academy. As for the unrivaled Capth, this was definitely their best field of expertise.

Capth was still using the same strategy by sending in the first grader for the first round. This time, they sent in Wally, and he managed to nail it perfectly. However, Capth wasn’t planning on letting him fight four matches in a row, but giving the other candidates and substitutes a chance instead. In the end, Capth defeated Cruxs by 3:1; obviously, Cruxs’ win in round three was a ”consolation prize” from Capth. After all, it would be too humiliating if they were crushed completely.
