Chapter 2057 Challenges

Chapter 2057 Challenges

The Challenging round as it name implies involves challenges between the students.

There are two types of challenges in this. The first one is the freshmen or the equivalents, which means the people who are in the Initial Stage of Divine Plane Initiation challenging the winners of the tournament.

They can come forward and challenge any of the students that ranked in the Freshman tournament.

However, it is clearly apparent that the winners are winners for a reason.

So, once these challengers announce their challenge, three people of the same level can come out from the audience and challenge them. Once the challenger defeats these three people, they can recover and finally fight with the winner they decided on.

The second type of challenge is simple.

The Grade 2 Seniors, who are in the Middle-stage of Initiation can step forward and challenge the winners.

The first type of challenge is for the students to test themselves against the winners and understand or learn their gaps.

The second type of challenge is for the seniors to test their juniors. It is also not a fight for them to go all out. The referee can interfere any time stop the fight if the fights get serious.

Simply put, this is just another phase of fighting within this competitive space. This is to make the winners be in that competitive zone and not let this win get to their heads.

Once the start of the challenging round was announced, a few people from different academies stood up. This Is not just a place of testing, this is also a place for them to get some prestige. Even if they cannot defeat the winners, they can put up some good fight and in turn earn some prestige for themselves.

As soon as the challenges started, Sam saw the pattern that he expected to. Not just him everyone knows this pattern and no one could do anything about it.

Whenever a winner is challenged, for example when Bronte was challenged, three people from Zeus academy stood up and fought with the Challenger. They acted as the gate keepers to reach Bronte.

Only, when the challenger defeated all three of them, he got to challenge Bronte.

The same applied to the other people as well.

Even though these winners might not have a good friend circle within the academy, the students of the academy are still willing to step forward and act as gate keepers.

They are desperate to make sure that their academy winner keeps all the prestige that he gained in the tournament and no challenges could take part of it away.

The heat of the challenges soon grew and Sam noticed that some of the marked students in Pearl's list are stepping up as well. He decided that this is the best time for his plan to be executed.

He gave a mental signal.

From within the a man stood up.

He wore dark cloak and hood covering his face up. The cloak is clearly enhanced with all sorts of inscriptions to hide his face away. He also had a large stick in his hand, which he is using like a walking staff. He slowly walked to the stage and looked at the group. His gaze landed on Vidyuth.

This is the first challenge for Vidyuth.

"I would like to take down the fake ranker." The challenger spoke in a low tone. However, everyone could hear it. The faces of the audience and the Deans changed.

Dean Wharton had a grin on his face as soon as he heard these troublesome words. Vidyuth, Bronte and White are officially removed from the rankings of the tournament. They didn't get the rewards from the Thor Academy too.

However, he also felt more rage building up and he could feel some compelling thoughts making him rush forward again and again.

"STOP."

After the seventh time, the referee stopped.

He looked at the gatekeeper and felt pity inside his heart. The gatekeeper appeared pale and he painted the stage with his blood.

The attendants came and took him away.

The hooded figure turned to the second keeper and said.

"The offer still stands, you can still bring her and attack me together."

The second gatekeeper looked nervously at Pearl, who is still focused on the challenger.

Seeing that she had no intention of stepping forward along with him, he went by himself. He also didn't hesitate like his predecessor and just attacked.

However, the same phenomenon happened once again.

Whenever he was about to make a move, he froze and got injured by his own backlash. The next minute felt like Deja Vu to everyone. By now, everyone is wondering who this cloaked guy is. They would like nothing more than to learn his identity.

The second gatekeeper was defeated soon enough.

Everyone felt pity for him.

To think that someone will be defeated by their own energy backlash... few things could be more embarrassing than that.

Pearl stepped forward and spoke.

"Who are you? Which Academy do you belong to?"

"If you want the answer, defeat me."

"Then let's make it quick."

She extended her hand and the water elemental energy surged. Some patterns appeared on her arms.

*TAP*

The familiar tapping sound. However, Pearl just stood there without even showing any change in her expression. However, at that moment, a surge of pure water elemental energy shot out of her back and exploded.

*SCREECH*

A loud screaming noise came as a very ugly ghost manifested out of thin air.

*TAP*

The challenger tapped again and the ghost disappeared along with that attack.
