Chapter 236: Battle Against Mighty Foes

After the post-fight meeting of Princess Kyomi and her teammates, along with their homeroom teacher, teacher Liebe, they decided to take a rest while waiting for the next competition.

After seeing her student's response, Teacher Liebe decided to go in front of the board in their room. A moment later, she said to Kraftvoll and his sworn brothers with a smile on her face, "Let us start, gentlemen, shall we?"

After hearing their homeroom teacher, Kraftvoll and his sworn brothers went in front of her so that they could listen to the battle strategy meeting. 

For Kraftvoll, Prince Aragorn, and Godwin, it was very easy for them to battle against their opponents for the elimination round. That was the case as well in the semifinal round of the yearly tournament of Verrater Academy. 

Although Kraftvoll and the others' participation in the finals was pretty much guaranteed, the team that they were surely battle at the end was the one they truly feared the most.

'We're going to face them again! It will be the last time as well! We must win now or we would lose our chance to do so!' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he was listening to his homeroom teacher. Both Prince Aragorn and Godwin had the same thought as their First Brother.

In their second time participating in the three-man team competition, Kraftvoll and his sworn brothers managed to give a hard time in comparison to the last time they fought.

That's why Kraftvoll and his sworn brothers were pretty much looking forward to their fight this year because it would be the last time they will be facing this particular team. After all, Elanor and her teammates were already in tenth grade.

After ending the pre-battle meeting, Kraftvoll and the others departed to fight for the first round. As they expected, they won the elimination round without a hitch.

They already managed to defeat this particular team once when they were still in the first year in the academy. Since two years had passed since then, they managed to outclass them by a huge margin in terms of seishin cultivation bases.

"That was easy! I thought we are going to have a harder time in this fight because we fought the last time." Godwin said to his two sworn brothers as they exit the stage.

After hearing his Third Brother, Prince Aragorn couldn't help but reply, "They lost their spirit when they knew they would face us in the elimination round. We have greater elemental affinities to them in total so it is easy for us to outclass them in just a few years."

"Yeah. Although it's hard to accept, that's the way of the seishin cultivation world. Only the strong rules! That's why we must become powerful ourselves!" Kraftvoll said with all the determination that he currently has.

They went to their assigned room right after the match. When it was time for the semifinals, Kraftvoll and the other three went to the Alstan Stadium without hesitation in their mind.

After battling against the second graders in the semifinal round of the competition, Kraftvoll and his two sworn brothers went to their assigned classroom along with their homeroom teacher.

"That was boring," Godwin said with a dissatisfied face as he walked alongside his two sworn brothers.

After hearing his Third Brother, Kraftvoll's expression became very serious all of a sudden.

A moment later, he responded to Godwin saying, "The next one is going to be the hardest fight. The two of you better brace yourself, we already faced them two times now. Last year, we just managed to survive longer than our last fight. But now, let's aim to win!"

"YEAH!" shouted Godwin in response.

"Yeah!" said the elven prince.

Along with kraftvoll and his two sworn brothers, Teacher Liebe also went back to their assigned room. Teacher Liebe did not need to watch the tripartite match because she already knew who would win. 

Upon entering the room, Teacher Liebe said to the boys, "The three of you know already who are you going to face. Since it's going to be your last match against them, I would not join you in the battle strategy meeting later."

After hearing their homeroom teacher, Kraftvoll and the other two misfits couldn't help but show a confused expression the moment those words came out of their homeroom teacher's mouth.

Ever since they were in the first grade, they were always led by their homeroom teachers in these battle strategy meeting. Normally, only the classes from fifth grade and above are not supervised by their homeroom teacher in this matter.

Despite that, Teacher Liebe said to them, "Since you already had some experience fighting them so there's no need for me to interfere."

She wanted her students to learn to do this on their own. Despite their young age, when these three kids teamed up together, they could take any grades in the academy except for the higher grades. That's why Teacher Liebe was quite resolute upon deciding this matter.

After hearing their homeroom teacher, Kraftvoll and his two sworn brothers looked at each other. A moment later, the three of them decided to just follow their homeroom teacher.

'She probably has some reason for doing this to us so we better not question Teach's decision about this matter.' Kraftvoll thought to himself.

With that in mind, these three misfits entered deep meditation. Teacher Liebe just watched the three of them as they do that.

Ever since Crown Prince Absalom and Lady Fiona graduated from the academy, the ice queen, Elanor, became the strongest among the students of Verrater Academy.

Now, there is no doubt that no one could ever contest her because she had the highest seishin cultivation base among all of the students of Verrater Academy.

Since she was a graduating student as well, as the one hailed to most like to replace her place, Kraftvoll was aiming to defeat her.

Half an hour before the actual match, Kraftvoll, Godwin, and Prince Aragorn decided to stop their deep meditation because it was already time for their battle strategy meeting.

This time, they were pretty serious about this fight so they tried to have a serious battle meeting strategy even without the supervision of their homeroom teacher.

After their battle strategy meeting, Kraftvoll and his sworn brothers decided to go to their seats at the Alstan Stadium without further ado.

"We can do this, my brothers! Let's aim at the top!" said Kraftvoll as they go to their seats. Both the elven prince and Godwin responded with very determined looks on their faces.

After they had seated for about some minutes, the other girls arrived with various snacks that they brought with them.

"Can I have some?" asked Godwin to his fiancee, Sabina. 

"Buy your own snack!" said Sabina while she was showing a face that was mocking his fiancee.

"I will not give you some if I have snakes with me!" said Godwin in response while showing a slightly pouting face.

After seeing his fiancee acting like this, Sabina couldn't help but giggle along with all of her teammates. A moment later, she handed some snacks to Godwin while saying, "Don't be like a little kid! I'm just joking around with you. Here you can have this one."

Godwin reluctantly accepted the one that her fiancee handed over to her. After seeing this conversation, all the other representatives of the 210th class laughed and giggled.

A moment later, the emcee decided to walk toward the center of the arena. This signified that the fight would be starting for a few moments.

Upon seeing the emcee, Kraftvoll said to his teammates, "Here he is! Let's ready ourselves! It's our turn now!"

With that in their mind, Kraftvoll and the other two participants started to ready themselves because it was about their turn.

"Greeting everyone! May I call the participants to the center stage?" said the emcee to his sound-amplifying seishin device. After hearing the emcee's call, Kraftvoll and his two sworn brothers suddenly stood up.

The expressions that these three misfits were their excitement and eagerness to fight. Unlike when they faced them again in the first Treasure Hunt event that their class had entered, the fear and trauma that they felt at that time were completely removed now. 

As soon as they reached the center stage, they saw the members of the opposing team. Instead of cowering in fear, the three of them showed a smile full of pride toward them.

The same thing was done by Elanor and her teammates. They already acknowledge the skills of Kraftvoll and the others after fighting them for the past two three-man team competition of the Verrater Academy.

A moment later, Kraftvoll, his teammates, and the members of the enemy team decided to bow down to show their respect toward their opponents.

After seeing this, the emcee shouted to his sound-amplifying seishin device, "Start the battle in... 1... 2... 3... FIGHT!"
