The next day, the tournament was about to start, everyone was seated in a large field there was an arena in the middle.
The specially recruited students were arriving.
It was not only the new students that were here, other students were here also, probably our seniors, they were alot, is there anything special happening, or are they here for us, hey are you stupid, more than half of them are here for princess Ella.
After a while, I heard exclamations and surprised sounds, I looked at where everybody was facing, I saw two girls coming towards the spectators seats, there went to the highest place, there was a special booth prepared for them, The two girls were beautiful, the other girl had silver hair, so I knew she couldn't be the princess, the princess was an ice cold beauty, while the girl with silver hair, well I can't explain her beauty, she seemed charming, but behind that smile, seemed something dangerous, she gave me a dangerous feeling, her hands were covered in transparent silk like gloves.
The princess had long black hair, she was wearing a veil, but it couldn't mask her beauty, her gown was long, there was a slit in the middle, you could see her fair long legs, I now know why boys are head over heals, she's a great beauty, with that cold expression on her face, she was ice cold, wait, she reminds me of someone, I looked at Jake, but instead of his usual stone cold expression, he was smiling and he was looking at her.
I tapped him, who are you? He came out of his stupor, and stopped smiling, it's me Jake, what do you mean, you can't be Jake, the Jake I know doesn't smile because of a girl, you must be someone else, are you in love, I can't blame him, Adril pitched in, she's just to beautiful, you're the abnormal one here, how can you not be shocked by her beauty, why should I be shocked? I replied, I'm already handsome enough, he looked at me weirdly, when you are as fine as me, you'll understand what I mean, i said smugly, he looked at me with pity, then he tapped me at my back, I feel your pain brother, you were dumped right.
I was shocked, what do you mean I was dumped, when did I tell you I was dumped, beside which girl will want to dump me, I'm just to handsome. He sighed helplessly, you are hopeless, I'll rather look at my angel over there.
Who's the girl beside the princess, that I do not know, I've never seen her before, but she's pretty, he looked at her with lust, so you've not heard of her before, are you sure, hey, what did I just say, stop disturbing me from looking at my angels.
He turned and continued looking at the princess in a loveable expression.
A middle aged came to the arena, he was different from the one of yesterday, he was holding a box. He said, on this card are numbers from 1 - 100, each of you shall get a card, he held the box with one hand, he raised his other hand up, then it started glowing, the cards came out of the box and went to each of us.
You all should have received a card, so, those with the card labelled 1 and 100 will be the first to fight, then those with the card labelled 2 and 99 will fight, then the next set of people will go on. He left the arena, and went to the judges stand, where other instructors were.
The match started, coincidentally, the person with the first card, was the princess, her opponent was a commoner, the instructor signalled the start of the battle, they didn't even fight, the boy gave up from the beginning, no one was surprised, he was going to lose anyway, he was ranked 100, but everyone knew this ranking were not correct, the correct ranking will be when those who are strong and have low ranking fight those with higher rankings, but are weak, but that will be after the tournament.
The next battle went differently, it was two nobles who fought each other, they fought fiercely, but the noble with the number 2 card won.
After a while it was Lucas turn, his card was numbered 21, luckily for him, his opponent was weak, he was taken down quickly, it's actually not because he's weak, for him to be here he must have great talent, he would have probably been the strongest in his city, but as you know, someone like Lucas is hard to come by.
Then it was Jake's turn, his opponent was a noble, not just any noble, but a specially recruited student, he was aloof, he didn't seem to like the fact that Jake was also aloof.
Hey what's your name, Jake didn't reply him, he got into battle stance, he was pissed, that he was snobbed by a commoner, he knew Jake was a commoner despite his handsome face and exquisite clothes, because, he knew all the nobles in the kingdom, and he haven't heard of a noble with purple hair before.
I will show you where your place is, you scum, he walked towards Jake, red scorching flame covered his hand he swiped at Jake, Jake dodged, he didn't bother using his soul orb power, he was fast, he smacked the guys head, he was stunned, how can he be so fast, that was last thought, before he lost consciousness.
Did he just finish Kendrick in one strike, who is he? Everybody was surprised, it turns out the boy was famous, who is he, I asked Adril, you don't know, oh, I forgot you're country bumpkin, I looked at him, with an expression that said, seriously, he smiled, Kendrick is from the Azhar family.
His family is very strong, they are one of the big three noble family, they control, azure city, one the three large city, Kendrick awakened a rank 9 red flame, although it's not as special as the other flames, you should know that the top three flames are very rare to awaken, so he's kind of a genius if you think about it.
Beside his brothers are great geniuses, their talent surpasses him.
After Jake had his battle he came back, people were still looking at him though, it was my turn next, I went to the arena.
My opponent was surprisingly the female beside princess Ella, she was very beautiful, and it's probably because she's beside the princess, that people didn't notice, she looked at me, she was stunned at my face, but she regained her composure.
I think she expects me to start the battle, I thought of it, it will look bad if she started the fight, okay I shall give this pretty lady face, I walked towards her and threw my fist at her, which I expected her to dodge obviously, her hands was sideways, then she chopped at my neck, I dodged it and I retreated, she was surprised, she came forward this time, her hands were glowing in a silver like color.
