Chapter 416

Chapter 416: Revealing Ebony and Ivory.

“The top 15 students will be representing Calton magic school in a regional competition that would be held in the capital.”

“The other 5 magic schools would be taking part in the competition which would not only determine the best school in the empire, but also the top students of the empire.” Principal Lovren said.

There were 5 regions of the empire; the north, south, east, west, and the capital which was at the center of the empire. The capital cities of each region had a magic school, which students from different cities in the region could attend.

“Does anyone have info on the other schools?” Blake asked.

“All I know is that for decades now, the magic school at the capital has always been dominating the regional competition.” Damon said.

“That’s not information at all.” Blake facepalmed.

“I will give you all a detailed report later today.” Luciano said in a serious tone.

.....

“You have 3 days to make preparations for the competition.” Principal Lovren said. “Lastly, all students of the elite class would accompany the top 15 students to the capital and cheer for them.”

No one complained about it because not many had had the opportunity to see the magnificent capital, and they also wanted to find out if Blake, Luciano, and Damon would keep dominating or were just local champions.

Just like Principal Lovren said to them nothing else was happening so after informing them about the regional competition they left.

“Why did none of you mention that there are competitions at the end of every final semester?” Blake asked with a raised brow.

“The regional competition is held every 3 years. The last one was held a year ago by the last final year students before this set. So we were expecting to have graduated before that.”

“So I am as shocked as you that they decided to move the competition to our set instead of the last set at 500 level.” Damon said.

“How come I didn’t hear about the previous regional competition?” Blake asked himself but Brian was quick to answer.

“Because you were not always in school and you didn’t have a life outside classes and your room.” Brian answered.

“Fair point.” Blake nodded in agreement.

It had been years since Blake knew he had close to no life outside school, but he wasn’t bothered because he had a goal and he didn’t belong in Infinite realm.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

“Is it compulsory we participate in the competition because I don’t care who the best student is or what school is?” Blake asked as he stood up.

“It is a command by the emperor so it is compulsory that all those involved attend the competition.” Luciano said.

“The winner of the competition is rewarded with an artifact and many other prizes.” Damon said piquing Blake’s interest.

“Since it is compulsory, I guess I would have to win it then.” Blake said to the group as he left the hall to his room to begin making preparations.

...

A few hours later, Luciano had given everyone a report on the students of other magic schools.

It turns out that currently, the capital magic school was ranked 1st, the southern magic school in 2nd, the northern magic school 3rd, the eastern magic school in 4th position, and finally the west at last.

The eastern magic school was previously 3rd thanks to Xavier Karius’ outstanding performance, but the last set to attend the regional competition performed poorly causing them to drop in rank.

As Blake continued reading the report, he found out that the other schools weren’t like theirs. Their top positions were entirely dominated just like the 2nd years before they were demoted.

“It seems no one was able to foil their plans of crippling the growth of commoners.” Blake thought.

[Apart from that, this region is most likely the only one that makes things fair for both nobles and commoners, thanks to Bryon being the counselor of the region, so I am not surprised.] The system said.

Blake moved over to the power level of students in each school and was quite shocked by the power level of the capital.

Just like Calton city which currently had only 3 students in the mid-tier of the Hero realm, the capital had a total of 5. That was a complete team!

“Family background truly matters a lot.” Blake thought.

Tarius the capital of the Synder Empire was home to the main families and leaders of the top 3 families. They were the ones that called the shots and distributed resources to all the branches of the empire.

The descendants of the top families carried a purer bloodline, giving them access to not only more resources compared to the others, but also top-tier family techniques and teachers.

That was why even though Blake’s high cultivation speed was attributed to the system guiding him, they were still able to keep up.

“With the info, we just read, what do you think are the chances that I would win the competition?” Blake asked the system for its opinion.

[Considering the fact that they have more resources, most likely better training and possibly artifacts from their families. The competition is most likely going to them if you rely on your skills.] The system said.

The major advantage Blake had over others was having an additional element, but according to the system’s analysis, the passive advantage like increased mana capacity increased mana control, and so on was not enough.

He needed more active abilities like the space abilities but he couldn’t openly use them.

“Guess I would have to show them the power of my own artifact.” Blake said as he looked at Ebon and Ivory which were in their Haiti and Skoll form.

[Are you really planning on revealing ebony and Ivory to the public?] The system couldn’t help but ask because up till now the only people that knew about Ebony and Ivory were Castiel and Brian.
