The day of the tournament. Alex was standing in front of everyone, there was the Principal too. The other teachers also looked at them from the sideline.
"This is a friendly tournament. Not a war. However, that doesn't mean you won't try your best. You should know that in competition friends are the greatest rival. You just want to win the match no matter how good your relationship is."
Alex told them. He continued with a smile,
"However, it doesn't matter whether you win or not, we only just want your enjoyment, if you don't enjoy the game, you won't find any fun out of it, like we used to play hide and seek in our childhood, it was a simple game, however, because enjoy the game, we loved that so much."
"Now, then, it's true coach have much greater responsibility before your game, now captains responsibility to hold the team together and other members has the responsibility to try their best from their own position. Do not quarrel with each other, do not quarrel with other academies unless they do it first, and do not cheat. Ok, that was my speech to you. All the best boys and girls."
Alex went sideways and gave the opportunity to the principal to speak with them.
"Do you really think we can win this time? The last four times it was Royals who won the tournament."
Chu Yue asked him.
"I guess, they can, they have the ability to. They are not that far from the Royal Academy, it is just a few events team members' confidence levels are too low."
Alex told her.
"I see. So, what's your plan after all, will you remain in the field to watch over the student, or join the gallery."
She asked him.
"I will do both. I also need to talk with some people. So, I must go to the gallery."
Alex smiled. Chu Yue smiled. After Principal Rani Sen finished her speech everyone went to their own place to practice before starting the game. The gallery didn't fill yet, on the primary ground there will be more than 15 events.
The other academy students also started to enter the field. A few moments later VIPs are also coming one by one. Alex walked there steadily and met with Ashok Sen.
"So, you have come, Alex Kun. You can have a seat there."
Ashok said. Alex smiled and took the seat. Goddess of Dawn Aurora victor was yet to come, Jelal Khan and Stephen Mckay were already in the VIP room. Alex also saw a few other VIPs he didn't seeon the party, Queen and King were also yet to arrive.
When he was thinking that King and Queen's entering announcement was done. He looked at the field. He saw the whole Royal family was there including Aphrodite and Robin. A few VIPs stood up and went to that place. Ashok Sen also went there.
They open the tournament by freeing the pigeon from the cage to the sky. It is the traditional opening of the tournament in this world. It is done in maximum tournaments around this world.
Then the tournament started. The first event was the sprint. Today will be held preliminary sprint event. There are 200 students who are participating in the Origin Realm Sprint event. They will be split into 20 groups. The first six of them in each group will be qualified for the next round, as, for the remaining participant, only 10 people will qualify for the next round depending on how fast they have finished the race, if there is a tie between two participants, both participant will enter the next round.
It will be the same for the other realm sprinter too. And not only sprint there are many more sports that will follow the same rules.
Alex then looked at the volleyball and basketball court. There is 20 academy participating in the volleyball tournament. There are four groups, among the group in round style five teams will face each other. A team will play one match per two days.
Sen Academy will play the second match of the day. They were practicing on indoors. Zulkarnine was with them.
He was like a temporary coach for them. The real coach doesn't even care if someone does his job, that guy was chilling with tea. It was not like he is a laid-back man, it just he knows Zulkarnine can do a better job than him.
There are many students and people looking at Alex, it was as if he was a well-known celebrity in the country. It is understandable if it was only students, but many ordinary civilians were also looking at him with revering eyes. Alex doesn't know why it was that.
A few moments later, his grandparents entered with his little sister Tia, Alex smiled at Tia, and he also noticed that Aurora Victor was with them.
