Chapter 20 - What's Academy Tournament?

Fixia and Sylphia ventured into a dungeon together, the air thick with anticipation. The dungeon they chose was filled with monsters ranging from level 10 to level 30, posing a reasonable challenge for them. Fixia, accustomed to the perils of dungeons, effortlessly dispatched the lower-level monsters, her spells crackling with power.

Observing Sylphia's enthusiastic demeanor, Fixia couldn't help but be intrigued by her sudden interest in dungeon exploration. It was unusual for Sylphia, who had never shown much enthusiasm for such endeavors. Fixia decided to inquire, breaking the silence that enveloped them.

"Sylphia, why are you suddenly so determined to level up?"

Fixia asked, curiosity piqued.

Sylphia gave Fixia a knowing smile and responded,

"Oh, Fixia, there's so much you don't know. Let me enlighten you."

Fixia looked at her friend with a mixture of confusion and interest.

"Enlighten me? About what?"

Sylphia's eyes lit up as she eagerly explained,

"The Academy Tournament!"

"It's going to be held next month, and it's a major event at the academy."

"I can't believe you haven't heard of it!"

Fixia furrowed her brow.

"Academy Tournament? What's that?"

Sylphia's excitement bubbled over as she described the tournament in detail.

"It's a week-long event where students from all majors compete in various challenges to showcase their skills."

"They're tested on their strength, weapon proficiency, spellcasting abilities—basically, every aspect of their training is put to the test."

She continued,

"The students earn points based on their performance, and the one with the most points at the end of the tournament wins!"

"They receive a trophy, a unique magic item, and even free food in the canteen for a month."

"It's a big deal, Fixia!"

Fixia's eyes widened with newfound excitement. The prospect of such a thrilling competition ignited a fire within her.

"Count me in, Sylphia! I'll participate in the Academy Tournament!"

Sylphia grinned mischievously.

"Oh, Fixia, I won't go easy on you just because we're friends."

"Get ready to face some tough competition."

"We're both going to give it our all!"

With renewed determination, Fixia and Sylphia continued their journey through the dungeon, their goal of leveling up now fueled by the anticipation of the upcoming Academy Tournament. Side by side, they pushed forward, ready to take on any challenge that lay ahead.

...

On their way home from the dungeon, Fixia couldn't contain her determination any longer. She turned to Sylphia with a determined look in her eyes and declared,

"Tomorrow, I'm challenging Georyy again."

"And this time, I won't lose."

"I'm more determined than ever."

Sylphia smiled and nodded, recognizing the fire in Fixia's eyes.

"I believe in you, Fixia. Show him what you're capable of!"

The next day arrived, and Fixia and Georyy stood on the battlefield, ready to face each other once again. The presence of interested spectators added an air of excitement to the atmosphere, and Sylphia stood among them, cheering Fixia on with unwavering support.
