Chapter 249: You Again!?

After defeating the Ice Queen using all of his power, Kraftvoll fell on his knee due to the great exhaustion that he sustained during the fight. Kraftvoll decided to let Elanor go after he looted all of her plate numbers except for her own so that she would not be eliminated. 

After the Ice Queen left, Kraftvoll celebrated a little bit until he heard a voice shouting,

"Earth Spike!"

Without Kraftvoll knowing it, a spike of earth suddenly hit his stomach resulting in him coughing up some blood. "WHO ARE YOU!?" Kraftvoll could only shout as he fell to the ground.

Suddenly, the dwarven boy from earlier slowly walked toward Kraftvoll with an evil grin on his face. A moment later, he said to Kraftvoll, "Senior Brother, you dare to throw me outside earlier!? You, a mere commoner-!"

While the dwarven boy was talking, Kraftvoll's two shadow familiar arrived and it charged toward him with all of their might. At the next moment, Kraftvoll shouted, "Beat that junior of mine! Teach him a lesson for sneak attacking me!"

Upon hearing Kraftvoll's command, the two elemental familiar beat the dwarven boy until he almost lost his consciousness. While he was laying on the ground Kraftvoll went near him and he looted the plate numbers that he had in his possession again for the second time.

'It's a good thing that I called these two shadow familiars of mine earlier as a backup plan If Senior Sister ever exceeded my expectation. It seemed like that he managed to hide a plate number from me earlier. I must not let this happen again!'

Unlike last time, Kraftvoll did not leave out any plate numbers to avoid a situation like this to happen again. After looting all of the plate numbers of the dwarven boy, Kraftvoll went on the back of one of his Umbrage Vassal where he entered deep meditation.

While Kraftvoll was on his way, a member of the Shadow Corps of the Verrater Academy suddenly appeared out of nowhere beside the injured dwarven boy. She picked up him and she was suddenly enveloped by particles of darkness and disappeared into the naked eyes.

Upon the command of their master, the two shadow familiars went back to the cave while Kraftvoll was in deep meditation. Upon arriving, the shadow familiar that does not have Kraftvoll at its back surveyed the cave for possible ambushed.

After making sure that no one would do that in the cave, the Umbrage Vassal who had Kraftvoll at its back entered the cave and it put its master at the end of the cave to focus with deep meditation.

Kraftvoll was in deep meditation when a shout was heard throughout the mountain saying, "STUDENTS OF VERRATER ACADEMY! THERE ARE ONLY TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE BATTLE ROYALE COMPETITION END! LOOT AND HIDE NOW TO WIN!"

Kraftvoll stopped his deep meditation and he showed a hint of a smile on his face. 'I guess the inner seishin essences that I am storing now is enough to survive until the end. I'm going to start counting my loot now.'

A moment later, he brought everything that is inside his side pockets. While counting he thought to himself, 'I looted 10 plate numbers earlier before I entered deep meditation in this cave. When I defeated that wretched junior, I managed to loot 3 from him before I throw him away.'

After counting all of his loots from his side pocket, Kraftvoll brought out all of the ones he stored in his bag. 'And all the loot that I got from Senior Sister is a total of 20 plate numbers. And lastly, I managed to loot another five plate numbers from the one who ambushed me earlier. In total, I have 39 plate numbers including my own. O yeah, I forgot something.'

He looked at his elemental familiars at the next moment. He said to them, "Bring me all of the plate numbers that you looted while I am not beside you."

After hearing the command of its master, both of the shadow familiar immediately throw up all of the plate numbers that they looted. In total, they managed to loot 20 plate numbers when combined.

After seeing this behold in his eyes, Kraftvoll has suddenly shown a mischievous smile on his face. 'It seemed like I don't need to go out anymore. I'll just stay here until the competition end, then.'

With that thought in his mind, Kraftvoll decided to not make any moves for the rest of the competition. Fortunately, he was able to wait until the emcee announced throughout the mountain, "THE BATTLE ROYALE COMPETITION IS OVER! ALL BATTLES MUST CEAST AT THIS VERY MOMENT!"

After hearing that, Kraftvoll showed a hint of a smile on his face after he was able to loot many plate numbers at the current Battle Royale Competition. A moment later, a member of the SHadow Corps suddenly appeared out of nowhere beside Kraftvoll. 

He reminded Kraftvoll to go down which he agreed upon without any resistance from his side or whatsoever. 

At the Alstan Stadium, the emcee announced the result to the audience of the Battle Royale competition. He announced using his sound-amplifying seishin device, "Now, it's time to announce the top participants of our Battle Royale competition."

The audiences that were spectating the event cheered very loudly after hearing the emcee. Although they were able to watch the whole scene with the great seishin spell of the great water practitioners of the academy, they were still excited about knowing the real outcome is from the master of ceremonies himself.

"Without further ado, the third placer has 40 plate numbers on her possession. She is the Mighty Phoenix of Verrater Academy, Agatha De Valpheirous!"

Everyone in the Alstan Stadium cheered in support of the Mighty Phonix of the academy. After a few moments, the emcee continued the announcement of the top survivors.

A moment later, the emcee announced, "The second placer of this year's Battle Royale competition managed to get 48 plate numbers despite her loss in a match without top participants in this year. The second placer of this competition is none other than the Ice Queen of the Verrater Academy, Elanor Le Knochen!"

"Wow! As expected of the strongest tenth grader! She managed to reach the top 3 again despite losing her initial loot!"

"Yeah! She and the first place this year is really awesome! What a fight to behold!"

While he was walking down the mountain, Kraftvoll showed a smile on his face after hearing the voice of the emcee that can be heard throughout the mountain. 'Senior Sister is really awesome! I looted almost all of his plate numbers after we fought with each other and yet!'

Back at the Alstan Stadium, after a moment of silence, the emcee was given the signal to announced the result so he did it without delaying more time.

He announced, "Now! I am going to announce the top contender of this year's Battle Royale Competition. The rising powerhouse of Verrater Academy, the acclaimed Empyrean Monarch of Verrater Academy, the 1st third grader to ever reached this spot of the Battle Royale competition, Kraftvoll!"

As soon as they heard the announcement everyone in the stadium cheered even more loudly from the announcement of the other top 3.

After walking for dozens of minutes, Kraftvoll was able to reach the base camp assigned to the third graders of the Verrater Academy. Among all of the students of the 210th class, only Kraftvoll was not escorted by a Shadow Corps' member because all of them are either exhausted and eliminated in the competition.

Upon his entrance to the camp, Kraftvoll was greeted by his classmates because of the achievement that he attained at this time.

"Congratulation, President!"

"Congratulation, Kraftvoll!"

"Congratulation, First Brother, or should I call you now, Empyrean Monarch?" the elven prince said to Kraftvoll so that he could tease him.

Kraftvoll was a little embarrassed after hearing his nickname from his Second Brother. Kraftvoll was about to say something to Prince Aragorn but he was interrupted by Godwin.

Godwin said with a jealous face, "They already granted you a nickname!? Empyrean Monarch is so cool! I want one too!"

After hearing Godwin's whining, all of the students of the 210th class, along with their homeroom teacher, laughed without any reservation. 

After healing all of the students of the 210th class, Teacher Liebe led all of her students to go to their own accommodation. "I hope every one of you that joined the competitions today has learned something from your experience. Let's go home now so that all of us can have a proper rest."

Without any objection. all of the students of the 210th followed their homeroom teacher to go to their rooms.

"I heard that you managed to beat that scary Senior Sister! You're really awesome, FIrst Brother! So how did you do it?" asked Kraftvoll as they walked on their way to their accommodation building.

"You see, after hunting..."

Kraftvoll told them the whole story until they reached the accommodation building of the third graders.

That's how the 212th Yerly Tournament of Verrater Academy had concluded.
