Chapter 873: Part 2: Arrival (Wizard Heart Competition)
Capital City:
There is still some time left before the start of the competition. Right after, the arrival of the Yellow River Academy Wizards. People who bought tickets are allowed to enter.
Only the main entrance is in use. The other 2 entrances will not be opened before the other 2 academies arrive.
As the time passed, the crowd started to fill in the seats. Some of the people are wealthy people who came to the city a couple of days ago.
Rest of the people are locals. They are divided into wizard families, merchant families and other shop owners are workers.
Descendants of these people are studying in 3 of the academies. There is all the more reason for them to come and watch the duels.
Shortly after,
A golden airship reaches the duel arena. They are the wizards from the Royal Force Hall. The airship lands at the landing area.
When everyone saw another airship nearby. The wizards standing on the deck sneered. If it was outside, they would have attacked the ship.
But here in the Capital, they have to show face to the government. After digesting the dissatisfaction, they stepped out one after another.
Most of them are elemental wizards. The arena managers were on the spot. They are guiding them towards the B block while talking to council elders.
The Royal Force Hall came with the 5 council elders as well. The top 10 wizards of theirs are looking around with the questioning gazes.
Soon, their arrangements are made.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Dark League HQ, the old man in the shadows is listening to the reports. After speaking to the members, he fell into contemplation.
He has not informed the Dark Lord yet. He plans to do it during the middle of the competition. Because he still doesn't know what the security arrangements are made by the 3 academies.
He doesn't want any set back to happen. He still doesn't forget one of their Magic Lords was already awake. He is going to watch the duel as well.
So the old man shrouded in shadows waiting for the perfect opportunity.
On the other hand, the government was not careless. They too have their Magix Lord ready to take action. But they won't show up unless a similar powerhouse causes trouble.
Because any fight between the Magic Lords would decimate the whole city.
Time passed,
A black airship makes an entrance to the Capital City. The Black airship is the famous airship of the Weapon Palace Academy.
The Black airship was the last one to arrive at the duel arena. At this point of time, half of the duel arena was filled.
The Weapon Palace Elders and wizards started to leave the airship one by one. Among the elders, the elders from the Sword Hall are present as well.
The director and the duel arena managers quickly came to greet them. After the talk, they led them towards the D Block.
Once everything was settled down. The duel can be started.
…
From MC's perspective:
A- Block, 15th room:
I'm watching the live stream. It has already started. Just a moment ago, the Weapon Palace Academy arrived.
"They are not easy," I muttered to myself, as I saw one by one the wizards step out of the airship.
Beep!
A message comes from one of the council elders.
I opened the message and read it.
"He has asked us to gather in the gallery room," I said to myself. Then I left the room and started walking towards the gallery room.
On the way, I joined others. Soon, we reached the room.
After entering inside, I saw that the level-6 wizards were already there. Upon seeing us the council elder asked us to take a seat.
I walked to the left side of the room. The level-6 wizards are sitting down on the right side.
When I sat down. Mike Curtis sat beside me. Then people started sitting down according to our ranking.
Seeing that I twitched. I thought it was not necessary. Then I looked at the crowd through the window. The whole arena is filled with people.
To think the government has managed to erect a massive structure within 7 days. It's a tremendous feat.
"Listen, the first round of duel is between the level-5 wizards. Before the start of the duel there will be an announcement regarding the rewards," One of the council elders said.
Gasp!
A small exclamation sounded in the room.
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I don't know whether the rewards are going to be useful for me or not. I hope it's better than the Hundred Heart Fruits.
The Hundred Heart Fruit has improved my senses. If there is a treasure similar to the Hundred Heart Fruit. It would be fine as well.
"Don't dream about it. I'm going to win the 1st prize," Mike Curtis said all of a sudden.
Hearing that everyone turned towards him. Especially the level-5 wizards. The rewards are separate for the 2 groups.
Pete's mouth twitched. Jennie rolled her eyes. It was not the first time they were hearing something like this from Mike. He had acted the same during the internal competition.
Now they actually believe his words. Among the rest of the 9 wizards. Only Vincent Carey hadn't fought with him. So they are unsure about Vincent's strength.
On the other hand, I found everyone's gaze on me. Including Mike Curtis. I bet he wants to provoke me. Ignoring everyone, I closed my eyes.
"Harumph, you are a coward!" He said.
Hearing that I didn't react again. But his next sentence made me think of someone else.
"I don't know why Lara is interested in you," Mike Curtis mumbled under his breath.
"Lara White," I said in my heart. She has always been one step ahead of me. Her talent is better than mine. I guess she might be trying to break through level-7.
But I know it won't be that easy. We need law power understanding for that. Only If the law power reaches 20% , we can try to break through.
