Chapter 17 - Chapter 16

After the 4 way match, all the test takers except for the 102 that is in the elimination round is currently in the audience's stands.

"Now that everything is ready, I will now reveal the format of the elimination rounds, the 100 contenders are currently drawing lots to know who they are fighting with, the other two test takers however, that got an advantage is currently on hold and will only be joining the competition in the last 25 and last 13." - Celeste

(Author's Note: I don't know how to word this lol, the winner of the 4-way battle will appear in the last 13, while the second will appear in the last 25.)

"One more thing is that, right now we have a few teachers watching the festivities with us, and they will have the power to bring back any test takers in the 102 contenders, to fight once more in the last 8, so make sure to put your best in every battle to impress them!" - Celeste

"Here's the one's fighting for the last 50 in the elimination rounds!" Celeste shouted, while another screen appeared on top of the arena, showing the order of fights. "Now that we have all that out of the way, Let's start this competition!"

The moment Celeste announced the last paragraph, the Ground shook once more and the huge arena in the field disappeared in the ground. Four new smaller platforms then sprouted up, with two test takers each on the opposite sides of them. Lastly, a very luxurious VIP like room sprouted up from the ground and floated higher than the audience's stands. Inside the luxurious room, is 5 adults with different demeanors, Celeste is included in the 5.

New screens then appeared on top of the field, showing all of the battles happening at the same time.

After all of the changes happened in the field, Celeste's seat floated out of the luxurious VIP room and settled in the middle part of the field.

"Are all you pipsqueaks ready for some action?!" She shouted, and received very enthusiastic shouts from the audience in response. "Then let the battles ensue!"

~~~~~

After 3 sets of 8 test takers finished their battles, the audience finally lost almost all their enthusiasm, including Kai and Nathan.

"My throat is parched let me drink some Life Water Kai, when will Angela fight? I am getting bored." - Nathan

"Fleur give him some Life Water. What did I tell you? You should have conserved your energy for when she is finally on stage," Kai commanded Fleur and talked to Nathan while still looking at his book.

"How can I not be excited? I've never seen anything as amazing as what happened in the field before, even though the battles aren't so entertaining for now, I am swept up by the excitement from seeing all the magical things that happened, and don't berate me I also saw you shouting your lungs out before, you just got bored earlier than I did." - Nathan

"Ehem, that's called conservation of energy, you should learn it too," Kai said embarrassed, when Nathan sensed his embarrassment, he smirked but didn't poke further.

"By the way, from what I've observed from all the other contenders, Angela has no chance of winning, unless Skye managed to breakthrough to Bronze before tomorrow. There is just too much Bronze familiars in the 102 contenders *sigh*" - Kai

"Yeah, I think so too. I think we should pool all of our pocket money to help get her a Bronze rank Wind attributed treasure," Nathan said. What he's referring to when he said pocket money is the money the three of them earned from all kinds of jobs. Yes, even though Nathan's family is rich, his parents are strict and wants him to be independent so they made him work for his own money 2 years ago. Even though his family doted on him so much, they forced him to work and the only times they gave him money in the last 2 years is on his birthdays. The most they spent on him in the last 2 years is when they bought a Poison attributed treasure to help Onyx breakthrough to Bronze rank.

The way beasts breakthrough to Bronze rank in Komu world is to make them absorb any type of Bronze ranked attributed treasure.

The breakthrough to Bronze rank can be said to be the safest way to make a beast integrate and have another attribute. The way they could gain another attribute is that, while they are in the middle of their breakthrough, beast masters can make them absorb an attributed treasure, and the beast can take in and comprehend said attribute to have another attribute.

The reason why Kai and Angela still suppressed the breakthrough of Fleur and Sky is that they still doesn't have enough money to buy a Space and Wind attributed treasure. Kai wants Fleur to have a Space attribute because he wants a storage space for Life Water. On the other hand, the reason why Angela wants the Wind attribute for Skye, even though Skye already has the fastest attribute - Light, is because Skye's Light attribute isn't for fast movement but fast projectiles, she wants the Wind attribute to make Skye's movements' faster. By using this method, there is a high chance for beasts to go up a grade or be closer towards being a grade higher.

Even though this method of gaining attributes can be said to be very safe, there is still times when instead of making the beast stronger, this method made them regress a grade in the best case scenario, while crippling them in the worst case scenario. This happens when the attribute the beasts absorbs is very incompatible for them. The bright side of using this method is that failures on using this method only happens once in a blue moon.

Beast masters can also make their beast absorb treasures, with the same attributes as them, like what Nathan did with Onyx. By using this method, the beast master can strengthen their existing attribute and it is guaranteed for beasts to either go up a grade or be closer towards being a grade higher.

After Nathan and Kai agreed on pooling their money with Angela to finally buy her a Wind attributed treasure, the 3rd set of the contenders finally finished their matches and the 4th set of contenders is finally starting their matches, Angela is in the 4th set of contenders awaiting the start of her match.
