Chapter 95: Elimination Round
Chapter 95: Elimination Round
"We're going to start the first part of the yearly tournament! We're going to start this year's six-man team competition! The prize you will receive in this competition will be half of your yearly class budget so do your best, students!" said the emcee of the yearly tournament.
Teacher Kyleen glanced at the girls which were a cue for them telling that it's their turn and they needed to go now. Princess Kyomi, Belle, and the other girls nodded to their homeroom teacher and they went to the designated place for contestants.
"Those who will lose in the elimination round will only receive five hundred platinum coins as half of their yearly budget. While those who will lose at the semifinals will all receive 1,000 platinum coins. While those who managed to place second place in this competition will receive 1,500 platinum coins as a reward. Lastly, the champion will receive 2,000 platinum coins!" the emcee announced.
Everyone in the crowd cheered after the emcee announced the prizes, which were given by the academy to the winners of the competitions.
The commoners within the audiences were shocked about the prizes, even if they lose the first round in both competitions, a class would still receive a thousand platinum coins.
To make it more clear, a platinum coin is enough for a common family to go by without starving for a year. Having five hundred platinum coins only meant that a common family will not be starved for five generations even without doing any works to eat.
That's how extravagant the consolation prize of this academy. The emcee continued talking, "Now, let's start the first battle of the elimination round! Representatives of the first grade and second-year, come here at the stage!"
Princess Kyomi and the others entered the stage after the emcee's cue. The gate from the opposite side used by the girls, a group of six second-year boys entered the arena simultaneous to the girls' entrance.
After the contestants of the first battle entered the arena, the emcee continued talking, "Now, all the contestants of the first battle of the elimination round are here! Ready your guard!"
Princess Kyomi and the other girls' opponents were smirking. This made the girls a little furious. Due to their opponents' age, they were ignorant about the identities of Princess Kyomi and the others. If they knew their opponents' identity, they wouldn't act like openly mocking them.
When the girls saw their opponents, they were extremely furious in their mind. 'They are underestimating us!' Belle thought to herself. 'Just because we are all girls, they dare underestimate us!' Princess Kyomi thought to herself. 'We'll show 'em! We're not just frail girls!' Princess Gloriel thought to herself.
The same thought was running to the other girls' minds after seeing the enemy smirking at them arrogantly. This made the girls more determined to win the fight, they couldn't afford to lose so that they will not lose their pride as women.
The emcee continued talking, "Let the battle begin!" The second-year attackers advanced immediately while casting a seishin spell.
As a response to this, Princess Kyomi cast a seishin spell, "As the element who represents fear itself, take the sight of those against me, Blackout!"
For the sake of winning, Princess Kyomi requested Kraftvoll to teach her this one specific seishin spell of the dark element.
'Yes! It's really worth it learning this from Kraftvoll!' she thought after her opponents lost their sights. In reaction to her seishin spell, the enemy attackers' movement halted their advance toward the princess and the others because something suddenly blocked their sight.
Belle used this opening to cast a seishin spell to the enemy's attackers. She started chanting, "Ye who represents purity, cleanse thy master's nemesis, purify those who oppose me, Water Bullet!"
At the same time, after the enemy's support saw that their two attackers were inflicted by a dark seishin spell, he started chanting a seishin spell so that he can counter it. Illuminate thy master's path, Purification!"
The purification spell made the enemy's attackers regained their sight. But it's too late for the target Belle locked on with her water bullet spell.
The moment he regained his sights, the Water Bullet seishin spell was already launched toward him. He couldn't even dodge in time because he doesn't have that kind of reaction time.
