Chapter 124: The Opponents

After a dozen of minutes, at the Alstan Stadium's arena, the winner of the tripartite match of the three-man team among the three teams was declared. The winner of the tripartite was the three-man team of the eighth grade.

The outcome of this tripartite match was another unusual one but not like the first grade's victory in the lower grades of the academy. It was unusual because it was a rare occurrence for the team of eighth graders to win the hardest part of the competition.

Mostly, in the history of Verrater Academy, the team of the ninth grade or tenth grade were usually the ones who are winning this.

This match can be called an unusual occurrence but the audience pretty much expected the outcome of this particular tripartite match. The audiences' faces were not that shocked by the result of this match.

After all, one of the strongest students of the Verrater Academy was in that team. The other two strongest students joined in the previous competition which means that the three-man team of the eighth graders secured their victory in this match.

The three-man team of the eighth graders managed to defeat their opponents which were the teams that represent the tenth grade and the fifth grade of the Verrater Academy.

"This is awesome! As expected of the Verrater Academy's Ice Queen, Elanor! The winner of the tripartite match of this year's three-man team competition is the team of the eighth grade!" announced the emcee after the conclusion of the match.

Everyone cheered even louder than what they did after the conclusion of the match between Kraftvoll and the other boys against the fourth graders.

This time, they had seen a match that made them so awestruck. Among the fights in the competitions of the yearly tournaments, the tripartite match of the competition was even more exciting than the finals.

The finals were only for formality's sake only because everyone knew that those who will become the victor in the tripartite match will be the guaranteed winner of that specific competition.

The only reason for the Verrater Academy's why the academy was giving more opportunities for the lower grade because they wanted them to have more opportunities to make the portion of their yearly budget bigger.

Those from the lower grades who will not be able to use this opportunity will only mean that they were not as genius as the other students which only means that they were not meant to be nurtured that much.

Using the yearly tournaments to decide each grade's yearly budget was to guarantee that only those who have incredible future prospects will be doted by the academy in terms of resources.

After the winner of the tripartite match had been announced, the winners of the match exited the stadium's arena with great confidence in their looks. Everyone who was watching watched them with all the respect in their eyes. 

The great healers of the Verrater Academy immediately came running toward the wounded. In the fights of the more senior students, the great healers of the academy were not really interfering until the end of the match.

The academy wanted its senior students to learn to deal with life and death situations so they would only interfere in the fight among or between the seniors where they deemed that there would be someone who would definitely lose their lives.

The finals of the three-man team competition were announced to start by the master of the ceremonies in about an hour. Most of the people at the audience of the yearly tournament decided to go outside within this period of time.

An hour of the break was barely enough for the participants of the finals to finished replenishing their inner seishin essences for the next fight.

Teacher Kyleen and the girls decided to go to Kraftvoll and the other boys after they had witnessed the fight. The girls were awestruck by what they had seen in that match. They saw a seishin spell that completely blew their minds off.

Previously, they were not able to watch the previous tripartite match because they were resting from an exhausting fight when it had transpired in the previous competition because they were dejected about their loss. Now that they had seen one, they became somewhat awestruck.

After a few minutes of Walking, Teacher Kyleen and the girls managed to arrive at the assigned room for the 210th class. As soon as they entered, they saw that the boys are still in a deep meditative stance.

They decided to let them replenished their inner seishin essences first before reporting them what they had seen in the fight.

After the third quarter of an hour had passed away, Kraftvoll and the other boys finally finished replenishing their inner seishin essences.

Teacher Kyleen did not waste any time after they finished replenishing their inner seishin essences. She started telling the battle situation on the finals of the competition.

"Your opponents this time are on a whole different level from your previous fights in this competition. I don't know if you have even the slightest winning chance on this one," said Teacher Kyleen with a more serious face than the previous fights' strategy meetings between her and her students.

This time, even Teacher Kyleen doubt that they have a winning chance, after all, the enemy has more seven years of experience than them. And they had one of the top three students in the academy in their team. 

Ice Queen, Elanor, was not an ice specialist seishin practitioner. She was just nicknamed like that because of her cold demeanor even more than Prince Aragorn's when he and Kraftvoll met for the first time.

There is also a big difference between seishin cultivation between Kraftvoll's team and the three-man team of the eighth graders.

The only thing that Teacher Kyleen can do this time was to give them battle strategies that might help them to resist their enemy longer. She knew deep in her heart that her students don't have a chance but she wanted them to fight so that they will be able to learn something.
