The tier system currently in use is made by the Bagtovel Empire 500 years ago which has been gradually refined.
Even though the Bagtovel empire was replaced by the Parmian empire 100 years ago, the tier system is still in use today.
The order from weakest to strongest is
Low-Tier->Mid-Tier->High-Tier->General-Tier->Saint-Tier, each tier is divided into 10 stars.
But La'el thought there was a big flaw in this system, that does not take into account the quality of a person's Ajian.
Like the battle that was going on in front of him right now,
The one who seems to be called Bland Tiger is definitely stronger than Sharp Whale.
But Bland Tiger's Ajian, which only seems to speed up the movement, is totally blocked by Sharp Whale's Ajian, which can emit large amounts of water.
La'el was no longer interested in this fight, because the fight was one sided.
"Berto ! can i ask who is the strongest fighter in HRF ?"
"Of course it's Killian. What is it ? You want to be a HRF fighter ? Do you think two people who are fighting are weak ?"
"Nope. I just think that Bland Tiger is don't know how to fight properly"
"What do you expect from sudden match ?"
"How about you ?"
"Me ?"
"Yeah can you beat that guy called Killian ?"
"Haha. No hope. I'm just a simple innkeeper. Why are you asking like that ?"
"I just wonder what's Mid-Tier can do"
The smile on Berto's face disappeared, he looked at La'el quietly.
"Do you have detection capabilities or something ?"
"Nope. I just a little bit sensitive to energy"
Berto looked around before saying in a low voice.
"If you want to talk seriously then wait till we have dinner"
"Nothing so serious, i just curious how strong actually students at the Bahari Academy"
"I just want to tell you information are not free"
"Hmm ? are we not a friends ? why are you charge me in everything"
"No we don't"
"Can i pay it next month ?"
"Ah i forgot you're freshman, we can sign the debt contract later"
The winner for this fight is predictable, but Sharp Whale deliberately stalls for time to make the audience happy.
"Look Bela ! What i tell you ! hehe i win quite a lot money hehe"
"Yeah yeah you're the best"
La'el looked at Rani who was jumping for joy and Bela who only responded half heartedly.
He wondered how they could even be friends with such opposite personalities.
La'el looked at Bela closely, he is find out that girl is quite attractive.
"Hey, let's go then. Put your backpack down in the inn first before we go eat"
"Yes sir, i'am behind you"
After saying goodbye to Rani and Bela, La'el followed Berto go to the inn.
It's only take 5 minutes from HRF to Berto's inn which was a bit far considering they were still inside the academy.
The inn has 2 floors, there is no bar or place to eat on the first floor. Both floors only have rooms that are used for sleeping.
"This is key for your room on the second floors. Just organize your stuff first, i'am waiting here"
Receiving the key that Berto gave him, La'el walked towards his room on the 2nd floor.
His room is quite small, it was nearly full once it had occupied the single bed, cupboard, and a desk.
La'el just throw away his backpack, which contained only a few piece of clothes and books.
He then headed towards a small food stall near the inn with Berto. After they got there, Berto shouted ordering some food.
"Skeleton ! give me 2 plate of meat and bean soup"
They then sat opposite each other in the front seat of the food stall.
"So, what things do you want to ask ?"
"I want to know the strongest people in here first"
"Strongest ? is hard to tell who is the strongest one since the most prominent tournaments in the Bahari are the team tournaments not the individuals"
"Team tournaments ?"
"Yeah, The rewards for team tournaments are dozens of times better than individual tournaments. Individual tournaments are like a qualifying round as only the top 1000 may register for team tournaments. After all, after we graduate most of us will be working with others not fighting alone."
La'el nodded feeling it make sense.
"Then who are the people who are stronger than you ?"
"Why are you so obsessed with me ? i'am not that strong. If you're looking for a really strong then it will be Hector, Atma, Muensa, the prince and Mika. Especially Atma and Muensa who joined the academy in the same year as me. Meanwhile Muensa is a little bit quite guy, Atma is literally like a goddess."
La'el had heard about the prince, and Hector who were the owners of the HRF. But the other three are new name to him.
"Hector that own a HRF ?"
"Yeah, even that building often changes names when the owner changes"
"You're talking about team tournaments, so who's the strongest team ?"
"Most teams have different members each year, although there are several teams that called themselves Heavenly Sword, Giganto Saint or something something who have same member each year but their results are not that good."
"Hmm ? why ? Wouldn't it be great if it was the same person every year ?"
"Are you think everyone was brain dead ? If the same team is maintained, they will die because their strategy has been readed by the other team. Anyway the winner of previous tournaments is Y team with Atma, Mika, Muensa and other three guy who have similar strenght with other three member. You could say the Y team is an all star."
In the middle of Berto's long explanation, La'el held his forehead.
The new information that Berto had provided mixed in with the strange information that had once again appeared.
'Level ? oksigen ? One piece ? what the hell is that ?'
"Are u okay ? you look a bit pale"
"Can you waiting here for a while ? i need to take my book in the inn"
"You want to write down what i say before ? you're not a reporter dude"
Ignoring Berto's words, La'el immediately ran towards the inn to get some book from his backpack.
The man who called skeleton camo to serve a food and he see La'el who run away put on a confused.
"Why that guy is runing away ?"
"You're scared him. Eat some food to grow a flesh in your branch body"
"I eat more than you dude, its called genetics okay ? oh look he's back. Enjoy your food"
Skeleton guy just got away after serve some food to Berto.
"You done ?"
"Hah.. hah.. Yeah. Let's back to business"
"Haha eat your food first"
While eating a meat and bean soup in front of him, La'el write down any information that flash in her mind.
Although all of this looks weird, at least he know, he's not crazy yet.
La'el move her eyes to looking around, he didn't mean to see anything but to imagine that something was called 'Oksigen' in the air.
Oksigen is very small even smaller than a grains of sand. La'el wondered if this is posible.
And some device called 'Phone' that can call someone from far away, it can even show each other face.
He know something similiar to 'Smartphone' its called Magic Device Comunication.
But 'Smartphone' can be used to read some story with picture that called comic and watch some videos at leisure.
If her mind its not lying, Magic Device Comunication like it's name can only be used to Comunicate with someone. But the price is very expensive just for one call.
Smartphone itself not using magic at all and the price is quite cheap.
La'el din't even know anymore wich one is "Magic".
He only listened to Berto half heartedly because he was more interested in the fragments of information that were always broken, now starting to come together one by one.
