[Gritonnia Academy]
Walking along the route towards the entrance of the academy from his previous place in the dorm, shun somehow was in his own world as he reached out his right hand midair and imagined himself using a weapon as he practice his swings
Since the matches this time allows many contestant to show off, he clearly understood that many of the contestant would be as arrogant as they could get during the matches
Of course due to the incident yesterday with Sephiria many students naturally recognized him, especially those couples who was somehow have paid attention to yesterday's incident
With that another slight commotion popped out
Suddenly two people approached shun from behind as they slowly tapped his shoulders on either side and when Shun took a turn to look around, he somehow saw both Sephiria and Aria smiling at him
"When did you guys get here?" Asked Shun
"Don't worry we kept quite due to seeing that you were concentrating so hard..." Said Aria
"So what were you practicing?" Asked Sephiria
Hearing that Shun once again started his practice swing as he answered
"My swings actually... I'm trying to make my swings as fast as possible"
"Why would you do that?" Asked Aria
"Well... I just wanted to be fast at moving and counter attacking, is it that bad?" Pondered Shun
"No there's no problem about that" replied Sephiria with a nod
With that shun returned to his swinging as he suddenly went silent
During that foreplay he suddenly remembered something as he asked both Sephiria and Aria
"Hey! Can I asked you guys something?"
"Well yeah sure!" Replied Sephiria
"I don't see why not" followed up by Aria
With that he proceeded to ask
"What would you guys think if I can attack by using mushrooms?" Asks Shun
After hearing that Aria spoke up
"Agricultural attack? Nature attack?"
"Then how about a shrooms that explodes" asked Shun once again
"A trap" said Sephiria
"Then what if a shrooms that explodes and poison you while slowing your movements?"
After hearing that both Sephiria and Aria looked at each other before answered Ng Shun's questions
"Well isn't that a mass weapon of destruction?"
"I see... I thought so... That little devil"
With that the three of them proceeded first into their classroom
The moment they entered they somehow saw the rest of their classmates surrounding a particular student that belongs to their class named Xander
With his black hair with a lock of red that hangs down with rest to the side of his face was his most unique trait that made everyone instantly recognize him, followed by his well formed body, arrogant but cheerful attitude and somehow an slight opened up shirt around his chest to show his masculinity
His magic however was a fire attribute magic that can be applied with different elements that made him able to create combination fire magic with another element application
That student also somehow managed to get to the third match against all odds thus they regarded him as pride of the class, due to his charisma he somehow outshone Shun's performance as he somehow shines the brightest among them
With that Shun silently went over his table and saw Rachel around the corner reading some kind of a book thus he decided not to disturb her
But as he passed her Rachel somehow spoke up
"Aren't you gonna greet me? You really must learn manners, you'll need it in the future Shun" said Rachel as she swiftly looked up to shun with a sideways glance
"I think I'm respecting your space in reading, after all you seemed focus and thus distracting you would be considered rude... Are you implementing that I should be inconsiderate?" said Shun as he tries to outsmart Rachel
"Don't use your words to twist your actions, but if that is what it really meant then allow me to apologize for her jumping to a conclusion so easily" said Rachel with an expressionless face
"Apology accepted"
After that both Sephiria and Aria came to Rachel as they greeted her
At that time Xander somehow finally was able to notice the newly arrived group as he also saw Shun being in his own world while practicing his swings
"If I'm not mistaken your name is Shun right?" He asked
"Naturally" replied Shun
"Hah! I knew it! Well I congratulate you on getting this far... But anyway do your best"
After Xander said that Shun returned to his practice swings when suddenly the former opened up his mouth again to state
"Practicing? You don't need to after all I'm going to represent the class this time, meaning the two of us are going to compete for the representative of the class"
"It never really hurts to practice you know" replied Shun
"I'm just saying it's futile" said Xander
"Based on your perception, not mine"
With that Shun directly ignored Xander's words as he returned to his practice swing until the announcement rang up to remind everyone about the match that will be held a few moment later
With that many students rushed out their classroom from different grades and sections to proceed to the arena as the last selection match will begin
It is expected that after this selection match the representative of each class will be called out later on, thus making everyone excited by a lot
At that moment of rowdiness from different classes, the three geniuses from their respective class managed to spot Shun among the crowd as they literally observed his movements and expected big for the upcoming last day of the selection match
Due to shun last performance, he somehow caught the attention of every geniuses not because of him winning or being a genius, but because the way his fighting or fighting style was quite unique and doesn't show in this world
After all his techniques and attacks came from the way the champions fight so naturally their fighting style was way different from this world of swords and magic
******
Soon after the whole class managed to arrive at the arena thus, the class split into two, one with the Xander supporters while the other were the group of Shun
Upon seeing that Xander somehow felt like Shun was quite pitiful to look at cause of his him having few companions, while he himself was almost acquaintaned to almost everybody in class including the seniors and juniors thus creating his own fan club
As he was about to reach out he suddenly noticed another group joined them and that was Wendy's group together with the five capture targets, which included the prince and sat besides Shun's group
This in turn stunned him as he didn't expect some group of big shots were actually acquaintaned to Shun, after all those six people were quite the talk of the academy last year and this year in succession
While this was happening, Shun on the other hand stayed silent as he eyed Cedric and somehow silently sits in-between Wendy and Cedric himself, to give Wendy a to to talk with the other girls while he secluded the boys sid
As his intentions of exchanging sits with Wendy was misunderstood by the other capture targets as a form of flirting with her, they in turn wanted to warn him about making a move, but eventually nthis died down as they saw how Shun and Cedric were somehow pressuring each other as if they really wanted to have a go right now
As they don't want to get caught up in this storm, they instead stood there in silence
"I do hope Cedric would tell me the reason for why you somehow directing your disdain to Sephiria" said Shun
"Oh I will... As long as you prove that your strong enough to defeat me and force me to speak that is" replied Cedric
"Hohoho! Is that a challenge I hear? Well if it is then don't mind if I do accept it" instigated Shun
"Hah! Be haughty all you want we wouldn't know for sure if we would be matched up or not" said Cedric
"Hoh! And how can you say that?" Asked Shun while lifting his chin
"Because that matches are randomized by the Academy's matching system" answered Cedric
"Well if that's the case then I'll call it that we are going to get matched up, I'll jinx it" said Shun
"Your ideal is just a pipe dream" replied Cedric
"Ideal or not still gonna beat your ass off" taunted Shun
"Let's see you try" shrugged Cedric
As this was being led out, the voice of the principal sound out again as it followed up by other instructors about the last match for the selection matches
With that many students roared in excitement cause after this, the representatives will advance towards the next stage where they would have to fight it out with the other Academy affiliated with their own academy
Thus with a few words and reminders for this last day of the selection matches, everyone instantly roared in excitement as the first matches started to ring out
As the contestants somehow was decreased rapidly for the last two days, it is expected that today's matches would finish before noon hits
Since the contestants were expected to be a great Challenger in their own field, they somehow expected to show off much of their moves on this last round
After the third match ended from a random selection, the person from Shun's class was finally called out as his opponent came from Delta Class
Of course since Shun heard much excellent hearsay from Xander's power level, he expected much from him, but this all changed when his his opponent made an appearance on stage
His opponent was actually a girl quite the same age as Sephiria but with a icy cold aura and a smile that can enchant any man she desires
Not only that but even thought she hasn't used magic yet, her ice attribute was somehow apparent by how much her demeanor was formed
Soon after shouts came out one after another from the crowd of students
"Holy crap! It's the Ice Queen!!! The Queen is here!!!"
"Is this for real? Now I feel sorry for her opponent"
"Wow! This turn of tide immediately reversed"
Apparently the girl was actually one of the geniuses of the academy that is most ascertained to advance more
Aside from the Queen title, the other geniuses was also Inscribe by other students wit their unique title
Such as like King, Queen, and Ace
With this stigma imprinted to them, Shun could already Imagine how wild will be the tournament that will be held by six different academy
If there were geniuses selected here then it's only passable that there are gonna be geniuses selected in each different academy, thus achieving the championship for the tournament that was tasked to him by the system would be a hard to get
Soon after about a mere 3 minutes everything in the area turned to ice as Xander was defeated effortlessly by the Ice Queen of the academy
Soon following that the rest of the capture targets that managed to get to this point was called up to match against the other two geniuses from Alpha Class and Gamma Class
In the end they were defeated by the geniuses this eliminating their chances
After that few more matches was held one after the other and more students felt the essence of victory while some felt the sting of defeat
But during this matches Shun was able to get the gist of strength from this geniuses compared to the other day that didn't even need for them to pass 10 seconds to defeat their opponent
Finally the moment the 19th match ended the referee called out a short break as they suggested to fix the arena and dispersed the students for awhile
Apparently after this the last match will be held, which Shun expected it to be
With that everyone spent their leisure time the way they wanted
At this time the girls left their sits in which they left the boys on their own world which made the atmosphere a little bit awkward
Soon after Cedric's smile twitched as he noticed something from the selection
"You... You did something didn't you?"
"Hoh? Whatever did you mean?" Asked Shun
Soon after the system spoke up
******
Hijacking the selection match to compensate host request is finished
******
Upon hearing that Shun's suddenly arched up into a smile as he felt great taking advantage of the system to hijack any kind of similar system in the area
Not long after that the girls got back from their break and handed over a bunch of snacks for the boys to enjoy, this in turn made the other capture targets to admire Wendy even more
But as Sephiria gave Shun his snack, the latter immediately returned it to her and said
"Hold this thing awhile for me... My turn is up"
Understanding what he meant Sephiria somehow just nodded
With that the rest of the students came back after awhile and took their seat for the last match of the day and not long after the announcement came up and projected the faces of the participants that will get matched up next
**********
Next Round:
Shun Kurosaki vs Cedric Gallahad
**********
With that announcement Shun arched up into a smile as he headed down, while Cedric just have off a stiff wry smile as he didn't expect that Shun would go so far to hijack the Academy's system
