Alyssa hesitated for a moment, but Asher took a sip without hesitation. The liquid was cool and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness and a subtle tingle on the tongue.
"First of all, congratulations on your wins," said Arman, as he pressed on his phone, and a hologram appeared.
"I am Professor Arman, and I teach about the black element, as you might have heard. But moving on, as you know, this tournament was to decide the first-year student representatives."
A hologram appeared on his palm from his bracelet, displaying the World Academy's insignia, a shield-shaped emblem with intricate golden designs etched on a deep blue background.
In the emblem, there were 22 golden small stars representing the number of seats in the high council.
Arman took out two blue rings with golden designs on them.
"Take these," he said as a black shadow took the rings and placed them on Asher and Alyssa's palms.
