Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 39: Announcement II

As both Kyle and Nine were a little late that's why they stood at the end of the crowd.

While waiting for the Vice Principal Kyle saw Alec and his team standing further away from them, almost in front of the platform.

Kyle shook his head with a bitter smile thinking how easily he spotted them among the crowd, the four of them were looking dazzling due to their other-worldly appearance.

Maybe the four of them were favored by the heavens because they also had enough talent to make anyone jealous.

At first, when Kyle entered the Academy he thought he was too far away to ever be able to reach them, but he wasn't bothered as he knew what he could and couldn't do.

But now looking at them his perspective was completely different, because now approaching them didn't look hard.

And maybe unknowingly he was even thinking that someday he could surpass them! A far contrast to his previous thoughts where he only wanted to reach them.

As Kyle was thinking all this, he himself didn't notice how his thoughts which were previously too easy going were changing!

And the reason behind all this, was it really due to his brother's incident?

Or is it because of something else? But unfortunately, no one in this world was capable enough to notice or tell him about all this.

Disrupting Kyle from his thoughts was the Vice Principal's loud voice.

"Hello everyone, I believe you all are working hard and learning new things every day inside the Academy."

"First I would like to apologize for calling everyone so suddenly without any prior notice, as I know you all would have been busy training or preparing for the first-term exams which are almost around the corner. But you see there's an important announcement I have to make today....."

Kyle gazed at the platform where the Vice principal was standing.

Standing on his left was Professor Liam and standing behind him were four different Professors.

Kyle glanced around to see if Professor Aliza was present, but even glancing around for a while Professor Aliza was nowhere to be found.

On the other hand, after talking about some random topics Vice Principal George finally started talking about the topic everyone was waiting eagerly to hear.

He announced that the 'Tower of Opportunity' which opened every 20 years was going to open next month.

And just like last time 100 spots have been given out to each Kingdom present inside the East Continent.

Like every other Kingdom, 'Kingdom Escalante' will also choose 100 talented individuals from the younger generation.

Among the 100 spots 14 are given to the Royal Academy because it is the No.1 Academy present inside the Kingdom.

And for a while, the Vice Principal started boasting about the prestigiousness of the Royal Academy and how the students were lucky enough to get a chance to enter the Academy.

Only when Professor Liam gave him a light tap on the shoulder did he stop, but the Vice Principal's annoyed face showed that he wanted to talk more about the Royal Academy.

The Principal continued by saying that 46 more spots are given out to the other Academies present inside the Kingdom according to their Ranking.

And to make it fair the remaining 40 spots would be given out to the general public, everyone living inside the Kingdom can fight for those spots through a competition that will be held in one of the cities present on the west side of the Kingdom.

Afterward, the Vice Principal said that all the first and second year students of the Royal Academy would be allowed to fight for the 14 spots available to the Academy.

The third year students weren't able to fight for those spots because according to the rules of the Tower, those who are older than 18 can't enter inside.

All the first year students panicked after hearing that they had to fight the second year students to get a spot, it had only been a month since the first year students entered the Academy so they thought it wasn't fair to fight the Second year students who were already so strong.

But Vice Principal George's next words made everyone sigh with relief.

"To make it fair for the students, two different competitions will be held inside the Academy after a week. One among the first year students and the other among the Second year students. 7 spots would be given out to each year, now it's up to you all to win a spot for yourself."

After telling some other things about the Tower, Vice Principal George gazed around seeing the familiar faces of the students.

First, his gaze landed on Alec who was standing at the front with Carcel, Lara and Mia, then on some other students who were showing quite a lot of talent before finally landing on a face he had not seen for a while.

But contrary to the Vice Principal's expectations the said student was very attentive and wasn't lazing around.

Kyle who was standing at the far end of the crowd was directly looking at the Vice Principal while carefully taking in all the information related to the Tower.

Suddenly his gaze met with the Vice Principal who seemed a little taken aback seeing Kyle's unwavering gaze.

The Vice Principal was the first to withdraw his gaze.

'This rascal, what's with his gaze did I just feel pressured when I locked eyes with him? No way, it must have been my imagination.'

Vice Principal George shook his head clearing his mind before ordering everyone to go back and rest for the day because it was almost the end of the day.

All the students scattered around some leaving for their dorms while others for training.

Kyle and Nine also left for their dorms because the last few days have been very hectic for them, especially for Kyle who has experienced a lot recently.

After reaching the dorms Kyle bid farewell to Nine before entering the dorm room.

The moment he entered inside, he walked toward the bed and slumped on it with a tired expression.

His eyes started getting heavy because for the past few days, he hadn't slept even for a single moment.

Thus he decided to sleep for today because from tomorrow he was going to start preparing for the biggest challenge of his life.

But before he could close his eyes something tied on his waist trembled slightly.

"Ah, I almost forgot about you."

Kyle untied the Phoenix egg tied on his waist, due to so many things happening recently he almost forgot about it.

After taking out the egg he looked at it for a while before tucking it with the blanket.

Afterward, Kyle also buried himself inside the blanket and hugged the pillow tightly before closing his eyes to sleep.
