Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

The first group battle of the rampage phase of the graduation tournament finally came to an end in the most epic manner possible.

The last showdown between Rex and Morgana was such a beauty that the spectators were all entertained. This was what they came for, and these 2 students presented it to them in the most unadulterated way possible.

Though Morgana's ruthlessness in the end towards her teammates was cold, this did not diminish her popularity the slightest as her fans cheered her name at the top of their voices.

In this first group battle of the rampage tournament, Rex and Cassandra were the real surprises. The performance of these 2 students was so convincing and impeccable that they already started developing a fanbase for themselves.

If some spectators still thought that Rex's performance in the first phase of the tournament was a fluke, his convincing performance in the rampage phase of the tournament cleared all these doubts.

There was a high chance that they had both already paved their way to a promising mystic job immediately after graduation.

After he was eliminated, Rex was teleported straight out of the Hillbilly Forest. His breath was rapid as he lived through the moment of being so close to death by the hands of the Wind Fairy again.

Receiving a spear stab to the heart was not something that could be so easily shrugged off. Though the Wandering Moon Queen reacted on time like usual and created a water doppelganger for him, the scene was still vivid in his head.

It took some effort before Rex was able to shrug the residual effects off, but despite losing, he was proud of himself.

Rex gave his all in the group battle and he was proud of the result that he achieved alongside Cassandra, the only thing that he regretted was the fact that he was unable to meet Ben throughout.

After he was teleported back to the Obedin Mystic Academy, Rex finally reunited with Cassandra and Ben.

They didn't speak much to each other as alongside the other students who participated in the group battle, they waited while holding their breaths for the results of the battle.

In just a few minutes, the A. I in charge of compilation finished and presented the results of the first group battle before all the spectators.

A huge list was projected that revealed the results of all the students that participated. The list started with the group of students with the worst performances of getting 0 points, and it ended with the 4 qualifiers.

4th Position- Cassandra Putin.

3rd Position- Duncan Hegemin.

2nd Position- Rex Vector.

1st Position- Morgana Jones.

Morgana was the overall winner of the first group battle of the tournament and she didn't just win, she broke a record of the Obedin Mystic Academy by getting a gap of 80 marks above the 2nd-placed student.

None of her teammates were able to make the mark. In the end, despite being in such a tyrannical team, Foster was the one who stole most of the points from eliminations and Morgana only came to replace her.

Their teammates were in a strong team, but they didn't have a strong performance.

Unlike Rex and Cassandra, Morgana was placed on the Black team who was the team who lost overall in the tournament. Despite losing 20 points due to her team losing overall, she still won by such a sizeable margin.

Of her 3 roommates, 2 of them were grouped into the Black team like her and the last one was grouped into the Green team. At least 2 of them would have made the top 4 but having 20 points deducted from their overall hit them hard.

The 5th-placed student who was her teammate lost the qualification to Cassandra by only 5 points, the student was heartbroken.

Rhode Foster was the student who ranked 6th after the compilations. Her disqualification from going to the quarter-finals became the main talk of the first group battle, Morgana became the ghost that haunted her.

After the first group battle, of the 48 students who were pitted against each other in the large-scale battle royal, only 4 qualified, the rest all met the end of their journey in the graduation tournament.

"I'm fine". Ben raised his hands in exasperation on seeing the expression that was on his 2 friend's faces. "Really, you guys are taking this too seriously, we should be happy, who knew that we'll even make it this far?"

"Are you sure you're, ok?" Cassandra asked again.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine". Ben laughed awkwardly as he looked around before his face turned serious the next moment.

He leaned closer and whispered to his friends. "I may have lost, but you guys qualified and that's all that matters. Going into the quarterfinals, I want a favor from you guys, help me crush Duncan if you meet him".

"…"

"Duncan, that friend of yours…"

"Shhh, he's not a friend! He's a lunatic!"

Ben exploded as he turned to stare daggers at the Duncan in question who responded by looking back coolly at him from a distance.

It took some effort on Cassandra and Rex's part, but they finally managed to console their friend. In the end, what really consoled Ben was his girlfriends.

Once Sarah came back, he smiled and winked at them before leaving.

After the first group battle ended, some of the spectators and students left while the others waited. The next group battle would start a few hours from now and they didn't want to miss it, Rex and Cassandra also decided to wait.

They first had to visit the academy hospital for checkups. On getting to the hospital, Rex and Cassandra met a rival, they met Morgana there.

This intimidating lady stood up once she saw Rex as she spoke with a serious face. "You fought a good battle, see you in the quarterfinals".

"See you too". Rex took her handshake.

With that, they separated and the 2 friends finally got checked up by the doctors. After they were attended to, Cassandra and Rex kept each other company till 3:00 pm came which was the time for the next group battle to start.

The battle between the Red Group and the White Group was as epic as the group battle in the morning, but the only difference was that the Red Group which had the prodigy, Turan Elliot dominated throughout.

In this group battle, Turan showed again why he was the favorite tipped to win first place in this graduation tournament.

He wasn't a battle monger like Morgana and he took the group battle casually, this was the only reason why he didn't beat Morgana's record.

Turan gave the 2nd-placed student a gap of 55 points.

4th Position- Jessica Molotov.

3rd Position- John Naga.

2nd Position- Roland Cross.

1st Position- Turan Elliot.

With the end of the 2nd group battle, the 8 students who progressed to the quarterfinals stage of the graduation battle were finalized.

2 days of rest were given before the quarterfinals battle would start, and during this time, the battle fixtures for the quarterfinals would be released.

Unlike the previous time, none of the students who qualified thought of celebrating since they knew that the task ahead was much tougher. They all got prepared to start a rough training schedule.

Before Rex and Cassandra could return home to plan their training schedule though, Rex bumped into a small kid who dumped a piece of paper into his hands before running away before he could react.

Guided by his intuition, Rex hid this event from Cassandra and only opened the piece of paper when he got home.

(Meet me in the Sloth Bar at 8:00 pm- Master F.X.)

Once he read the letter, Rex's eyes widened in surprise. He instantly stood up and looked around, after confirming that no one spied on him, he went to the kitchen and burnt the paper to ashes.

For the rest of the day, Rex prepared for 8:00 pm and when the time finally came, he sneaked out without alerting any of his 2 friends.
