After the mummurings subsided, the teams from the top ten walked up to the podium as instructed by Prometheus. "I give you all the best for this event" Prometheus said. Following this, there was a clapping ovation.
This wasn't supposed to actually happened, but the Instructors felt need to celebrate those coming out amongst the top ten, but it was already arranged that next time, this would not take place after the event again.
"Coming out the best is something to be celebrated especially first best" Prometheus said.
"Pointing towards the teams behind him, he continued " I was particularly impressed at the performance of these teams, as they showed coordination, skill, and planning. In my years, I have only seen few of such people like these".
" It is also my greatest desire for everyone to be like these ones, so that you may all have a chance to make it to the Kardeshin School of Royal Knights" Prometheus said.
This of course drew a clapping ovation from the students. Right on the stairway, Davis and Beatrice stood discussing
"Don't you think there's something weird about that boy Jason?" Davis asked apprehensively.
" I don't see anything weird about him, do you?" Beatrice replied with a question.
" Well, no one will except you go deeper" Davis continued " You see, I particularly think there is something really wrong about the boy".
Holding him by the hands, Beatrice began to speak " Tell me what you know, I'll also advise you not to do anything stupid, the boy is under the protection of the academy as far as he is here".
" Yes, I know, I won't try anything against the boy" Davis replied.
" Now, tell me what you know" she asked.
" You see, I began an investigation on the boy a long time ago when I received that injury from the boy, but I wasn't serious with it, I didn't even contact the investigators after that time, but it all ended when the last day before the event end" Davis continued.
" You were investigating someone just because he damaged you?" Beatrice asked.
" I did it because it was impossible for a rank 2 to do it " Davis replied. " That day I got the report, which was yesterday the report clearly stated that his father, mother and siblings were dead except one. It also stated that he was the lowest in their Village grading system".
" At the time he was in the village, there was no record of any thing that could have led to his having this kind of power. It was suspicious, bit I had no clue as to how he would then have gotten his powers" Davis said.
" Are you saying that he wasn't a strong person before, because if it is, then it really is suspicious" Beatrice said.
" Yes. I finally met with commander Zen's butler in the course of my investigation, and it turned out he was also probing Jason" Davis said.
" You don't mean it, how did Jason cross paths with commander Zen's butler?" Beatrice asked visibly shocked.
" He didn't, the butler explained everything to me comprehensively, and it occurred to me after our discussion that that hit isn't an ordinary boy" Davis said. " We have to dig deeper, what the butler told me was shocking. Commander Zen has actually come to think that the boy is Judais" Davis said.
" What!! " Beatrice shouted " Judais, how?" she asked.
" That was their conclusion. It also occurred that there was the rumour of the rising of Judais in the village where the boy came from, look at the time sequence, the periods and event, you'll make your mind up that he is Judais. It's just too much of a coincidence" Davis said.
" This is impossible, Jason is Judais?" she asked.
" I have already come to think so, we just need evidence to prove this, and nail the boy" Davis said. " Commander Zen has now hired me to protect his daughter along with his other guards, and find out truly the personality of Jason" he added.
" He thinks that Judais will attack his daughter?" Beatrice asked.
" Yes, that's why he hired me" Davis replied.
" Then why doesn't he take his daughter away from the academy, if her security isn't at all sure if Judais is really here" Beatrice said.
" It would be alerting Judais if he is here that they are open to attacks. It's better for her to stay" Davis replied
" Despite what you've just said, I don't still believe the boy is Judais" Beatrice said.
" You have, I'll find more evidences, and dig up his secret till I find everything out" Davis said.
" I'll call up the attention of the Art of War Instructors, they will be better in this" Beatrice said.
" Good call" Davis said to her before moving down.
Amongst the students, In a team, Team Deathz had already become the subject of discussion.
" I only recognize one of the team members" Helen, a girl in this team said. " The boy with the red and blue hair, I have seen him before" she continued.
" Yeah, the boy fighting with the whole of Team We Rule in the cafeteria" another girl in the team said.
" It seems to me that he is very strong, but he is not the leader of the team" Borl the leader of this team said.
" That is to say, the leader of the group is so powerful. It is no wonder they were able to make it the first, but I still don't believe they did it by man power" he added.
" Whatever happened, the guy is just so handsome" Helen said blushing.
" Are you blind, he may have good looks, but his hair is no no no, blue and red, when did that begin to happen" Liz said. " You know what, I prefer the other boy" she said referring to Greg.
" You guys shouldn't talk about boys you like when I'm a boy here, it makes me jealous" Borl said.
Turning to the last boy, he asked " Peter, am I not handsome?"
" Yes" Peter replied.
" Don't even think of it, I can never like you guys" Helen said. " Your face makes me blush" she said ironically.
" I'll make you pay" Borl replied.
" Make me" Helen said. " I like that boy" she continued.
Meanwhile, Davis harboured his plan of investigating Jason in and out to find out all he was.
