66 Chapter 66: Guardians

"Team Guardians… Win!!!!!!" A voice in which the origin remained unknown even after the tournament echoed throughout the arena. Even after the announcement, all the spectators remained silent as they gazed at the water globe levitating above the arena and other parts of the kingdom in silence.

"How is it possible?... A team from one of the smallest towns in the kingdom actually won, easily at that!"

"Hey! Hey!! This must be a prank, right? that's seven-level twelve stone trolls we're talking about here, not some low leveled beasts"

"Isn't this team a little bit overpowered? Like… their oracle and Enchanter are super strong… and these people belong to non-combat classes!"

"Cheat! They are cheats!!!!!... That enchanter is equipped with a complete set of magic equipment… Even if they are only Bronze level magic equipment, not every noble family In the capital can afford this!!!"

"Who and what are these guys!!"

"How are these guys soo strong… they are only inferior to teams from the capital!!"

The spectators in the arena still refused to accept what they just witnessed. When the battle began, all seven members of the team picked a stone troll each which they battled and won. An archer single-handedly defeating a level twelve magical beast? And that class was termed as a support class!

The only reason the guardian knight amongst them failed to kill off his own opponent quickly was simply because he refused to draw his sword and battled with the beast for minutes with just his bare fists! Battling a level twelve magical monster known for its defense with just his bare fists, well this is a story which their peers will surely refuse to believe.

Yes, there were other teams that performed better, especially those from the capital but none was as domineering as this one. While the others tried to portray their strength through complex combination attacks and quickly off their foes, this team simply took its time and toyed with the beasts.

Mumbles echoed all over the arena from all sides making it almost impossible for the team to understand what they were saying. At a point, Kira and the others frowned, clearly annoyed with the fact that they were unable to understand what these people were saying. Seeing Derik giggle, the anger rose to the peak and they quickly formed a circle to make it look like they were having a team meeting…

"Come on man… Don't keep us in the dark! Speak up" Gin said

"Yea… what are they saying?" Daemon asked as she slowly undid the black bandage wraps which were tied all around her face, hiding her nose and lips.

Seeing the expectant faces on each and every member of the team, Derik giggled again for a while before speaking up…

"Mission accomplished… They were wowed by the little power display we put on… Some claim we are cheats… others think we are overpowered… and you know, I can't blame them for thinking that way... We are pretty dope!" Derik laughed while he spoke.

Hearing this a warm smile appeared on the faces of the other members of the team. On their way here, they had two goals…

1) Win the battle in a very domineering manner

2) Attract as much attention as possible without revealing their true strength

The first goal was the most important since they needed the win to qualify for the adventurer's license exam, well… that's the reason they came here in the first place. The second was aimed at the other teams and the very… very 'important people'.

They were practically telling the world "We Are Here!!!" in their own way. Cases, where teams from small towns in the kingdom were maltreated, were not unusual during the adventurer license exam. A few years back, a team was ambushed by other teams from the capital simply because they refused to 'show respect'. This lead to a team of seven recruits been killed.

When the various teams from the capital who took part in this hideous act were apprehended, they simply claimed it was a mistake. The funny thing about the whole thing was that even though the affected families were compensated, those responsible were pardoned and allowed to roam around freely. Like what the f##k? There are people who have been apprehended and jailed for petty theft, yet these murderers were not even scolded.

This was one of the main reasons, Derik and his team decided to showcase their power in a domineering manner. They were simply telling these teams from the capital not to f##k with them or else the outcome won't be pretty. This act was also aimed at drawing the attention of everyone, showing them what they are capable of and hopefully gaining their favor, just in case things get rough and messy.

Even though they weren't completely successful because some people still felt that they are inferior to the various teams from the capital, it should be enough to make anyone think twice before acting recklessly in their presence.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Derik was about to speak with the team on the second phase of the plan but then three sonic booms erupted in the sky directly above them and three figures appeared, standing in midair.

One was adorned with golden robes, with long and ancient look with beards and long flowing white hair. This old man's body looked frail but his eyes were pitch black and if one looked closely, it looked like there were a cluster of stars in his eyes… a small solar system

His crimson red and yellow flowing hair, fluttered in the wind and the indifferent expression on his face made others shudder involuntarily. His crimson red knight armor with the painting or a dragon glittered under the sun. Even from a distance, everyone could feel the mysterious majestic aura that radiated from this made everyone present want to kneel.

[Casting a Peak silver level spell on all recruits present… How shameful] The guardian spirit in Derik's head suddenly spoke, instantly snapping Derik out of the spell

Derik who had already gone down on one knee regain control of his body and quickly stood up. His eyes briefly darted around the arena and to his greatest surprise, everyone was on their knees. Turning his attention to the side, he saw Cyrus who was also shocked by what was happening. Realizing they were the ones who didn't kneel, probably because of the guardian spirits in their heads, they looked up and Derik asked

"Who the f##k is he?"
