Chapter 243: Let's Go!

After their preparation had finished, all of the participants of the Battle Royale competition decided to depart for the venue of the competition. Before going together, "Let's go, everyone!"

"YEAH!"

~~~~

After walking for a few minutes, all of the participants in the 210th class arrived at the base of the mountain where Teacher Liebe was waiting for them the whole time. 

"It's almost time for the competition, I will start assigning you to your teacher guide. Go to your assigned guide as I state your name," said Teacher Liebe to her students.

A moment later, she announced to the 210th class, "Kraftvoll, go to Teacher Aldwin's group."

After hearing his homeroom teacher, Kraftvoll said in response, "Understood."

Without wasting any time, Kraftvoll did as their homeroom teacher instructed them to do. After some minutes of walking, Kraftvoll arrived where Teacher Aldwin's group was waiting to depart.

Upon his arrival, Kraftvoll was greeted saying, "Big Brother Kraftvoll, here!"

As soon as he heard that voice, he knew who it was so he went to look where the voice came from. As soon as he found where it was, he smiled and said in response to the caller, "So we are at the same group this time, Uther!"

The kid that Kraftvoll called smiled in response to him. This child has green hair with the same eyes as Princess Kyomi's. He is the youngest prince of the Walkiria Kingdom. 

Like the human princess, he also became close to Kraftvoll for the years that he stayed at Feuersturm Castle. He looked up at Kraftvoll as he does to his older brothers because of his special relationship with his father, the king of Walkiria Kingdom.

"I did not listen to Teacher Kyleen when she explained this event. What do I do in this competition?" asked Uther with a mischievous face.

After hearing him, Kraftvoll couldn't help but sigh deep in his mind. A moment later, he decided to answer Uther's question to him.

"You're Uther, alright. Where do I start? Well, you see, Battle Royale competition is..."

Kraftvoll explained the essential points of the Battle Royale competition to Princess Kyomi's youngest brother as briefly as he can. After all, the time for the beginning of the competition is upon them.

Meanwhile, back at the Alstan Stadium, all of the audiences were all impatiently waiting for the last competition of the yearly tournament to start. A moment later, the master of the ceremonies entered while he was holding his sound-amplifying seishin device.

"Are you ready, everyone?" the emcee announced to the audiences of the competition.

"START THE BATTLE ROYALE!"

"START IT NOW!"

All of the spectators of the competition were all growing restless because they had been waiting for a few hours for this competition to start. After seeing the cue of the organizers of the event, the emcee announced, "May I experts do the honor of creating our Livestream?"

After the emcee said those words, a group of seishin practitioners entered the stage and they dispersed away to some corners of the arena.

All of these seishin practitioners chanted in unison, "As the representation of the birth and the rebirth of every being, I order thee, show us the wonders of the world, World's Reflection!"

Suddenly, a massive amount of blue seishin essences from the surroundings gathered around these supreme seishin practitioners when they started chanting this seishin spell. 

Midway through their chant, the blue seishin essences that they were able to gather started to transmute into vapors of waters by batch.

At the end of their chant, those vapors of water that they were able to conjure merged forming a huge screen that can be used by the audiences to spectate all the events in the whole Mt. Verrater.

A moment after the great water seishin practitioners of the Verrater Academy finished their chant, the humongous screen made up of water that they conjured reflected everything that is happening in the mountain.

Back in Teacher Aldwin's line, Kraftvoll was still explaining things to Princess Kyomi's younger sister when she arrived at their side.

"So you're at the same group as we, you brat!" said Princess Kyomi as soon as he arrived at Kraftvoll's side.

"You're at the same group as me this year, Kyomi. Anyway, I'm just explaining the Battle royale competition to Uther here because he did not listen to Teacher Kyleen previously," said Kraftvoll.

"Why would you tell her that, big bro! You know that big sis would scold me!" said Prince Uther with a slightly scared face.

"You-!" said the human princess with a cold stare at his little brother. The youngest prince could only say in response, "Hieek!"

He went behind Kraftvoll's back as he heard his older sister's cold voice because he knew what's going to happen next. "Okay, calm down, Kyomi. Scold him later because I still have some things to explain to him," said Kraftvoll with an awkward smile on his face.

"You always go on his side. He would be spoiled if you continue doing that!" said Princess Kyomi as she goes toward their assigned spot in the line.

As she goes away, Kraftvoll winked at Prince Uther with a mischievous face. In response, the youngest prince of the Walkiria Kingdom laughed as quietly as he can to avoid being heard by his older sister.

After a minute, Teacher Aldwin said to the students assigned to him, "We are going to start at any minute now. Students, go to your respective place in the line so that we can smoothly go to the spot where I would guide you."

"It's time. I think I managed to tell you all the things you need to know. Good luck. I will fight you with all my might when we encounter each other so brace yourself!" said Kraftvoll with a smile.

"Good luck, big bro. I'll defeat you if we ever fight!" said Prince Uther as he went toward the start of the line. A moment later, Kraftvoll also went toward Princess Kyomi because it was the designated spot for him.

"Let's start transversing the mountain. Follow me," said Teacher Aldwin as he walked into the deeper parts of the mountain.

The students assigned to Teacher Aldwin's group followed him without a moment of hesitation. It was almost time for the competition to start so no one among them wanted to things any further.

After some minutes of walking, Teacher Aldwin's group was able to arrive at their dispatch area. At this time, the guide of the group, Teacher Aldwin, was only waiting for the cue of the organizers to let the first student go into the mountain.

Back in the Stadium, the emcee announced to the audience, "Now, all of the students are all waiting on their designated sites on the competition. The competition will start at Three... Two... One... Let the Battle Royale begin!"

At that moment, the cue for the guides had been given by the organizers.

"Go now!" shouted Teacher Aldwin. The first one to be dispatched at Kraftvoll's group was Prince Uther. 

Upon the cue of the guide, Prince Uther immediately charged toward the inner parts of the mountain without a moment of hesitation. As he ran toward the mountain, he decided to start chanting as Kraftvoll advised him to earlier.

A few dozens of minutes passed away until it was Kraftvoll's turn. A minute before he was dispatched, he said to Princess Kyomi, "Good luck, Kyomi. I will no go easy on you when we see each other there so brace yourself."

After hearing Kraftvoll, Princess Kyomi showed a smile on her face. A moment later, she said to Kraftvoll, "I'll be the one to defeat you so don't let others get you until I do!"

"Kraftvoll, it's your turn now!" said Teacher Aldwin.

"I'll go now. See you later, Kyomi!" said Kraftvoll before he charged toward the inner part of the mountain. Princess Kyomi just waved her hand as Kraftvoll entered the mount.

Since darkness was already swallowed the whole mountain, Kraftvoll decided to conjure one of the seishin spells that he learned in the Battle Royale competition back when he was a first grader.

Kraftvoll chanted, "As the symbol of the mysteries of the world, I instruct thee, envelop me by your gloominess, Shadow Cloak!"

Suddenly, an enormous amount of black seishin essences from the surroundings gathered around Kraftvoll as he was chanting the Shadow Cloak seishin spell. Midway through his chant, those black seishin essences that he was able to accumulate began transforming into particles of darkness consecutively.

At the end of his chant, those particles of darkness that he was able to create enveloped around his body until he was completely invisible to the naked eye.

'Now, what am I going to do next? I better hunt those little juniors of mine. THAT hiding spot is near me right now, isn't it? I better check it because I might find one target!' Kraftvoll thought to himself.

With that in his mind, Kraftvoll ran at full speed toward the upper part of Mt. Verrater.
