After that one match against two students from the Lower class, the next to choose their representative and the person they will fight is the Aster academy. So one of the professors prompted Caesar to take on the stage. Gladly the boy agreed gaining cheers not only from his classmate but also from the entire crowd of students.
In truth Caesar had one of the best stats and skills out of all the first-year students, just exclude Apollo since he can be said out of the ordinary by his peers.
While this transpired Apollo asked Jeremiah what is the real reason for this event. And when will they meet their family since they were first informed that they will see them.
"We were told they would come, and yet we are still doing this"
[Don't be like that, look the match is starting we might as well see how much that prince has improved]

Apollo remained quiet though was impressed by the prince's opponent.
"An orange type mana makes the mana pool and ki storage in the body bigger, due to that they have the greatest stamina and the best option for tankers and heavy knight duties. A good defence and offence that makes it harder for a prince to break through it"
Then as he observes the fight he sees the calluses on the hands of Lucas.
"It seems he had worked hard"
The prince with the sun's boost was able to gain a bit of leverage, however, with his opponent being on a much higher stats and stamina his movements began to falter.
"It's nearing the end"
And so Apollo's judgment was right, Prince Caesar soon exhausted himself and fell on the ground with that the Eastern academy gained its first win.
The crowd was silent while the students of the High class couldn't help but feel disappointed even the professors couldn't help but shake their heads. Despite this the students and professors of the opposite side didn't rejoice or celebrate, they only congratulated their friend and went to see who would be their next representative.
Their calm and collected attitude made Apollo curious, and then Jeremiah suddenly speaks
[I already found the reason my Creator]
"Then go ahead and say it"
[According to some professors from the Eastern Academy, Aster Academy wasn't the first school they visited. They had this exchange mock battle in different institutes and training halls. All for the sake of finding the one who will be most compatible for the World Tree]
"Compatible?"
[Yes, school by school, training hall to another training hall, year by year they would come let their students compete with other students. This way they can see whose abilities are most suitable to be chosen]
Apollo remained listening while the next match already commenced with the Eastern students challenging the students in Sword class.
[And Creator, by compatible means the student that will be most suitable will be selected as a sacrifice for the World tree]
"Wait hold on a sacrifice?"
[Yes and by listening to their conversation they already choose who will be their sacrifice]
"Wait don't tell me"
[Yes Creator, the sacrifice they choose is you]
