Chapter 78: Competition III

Of course, they didn't know that Cylius had already dug all their secrets and knew every detail about them. They would never be able to know.

These two were without any providence or luck around them which meant that they were truly just suited to become normal characters. They probably spent all their providence getting their talent.

And from now, it meant that everything they obtain would be through their own hard work. Everything would just really be random for them. 

He had gotten this ability to perceive providence on the spaceship. It was only through the newly boosted and more clear providence aura of Farold that he was able to obtain it. 

The bigger one's providence is, the more gold like it would appear while if one's luck is bad, meaning within the minus, it would mean a darker color. For the quantity of their providence, it would depend on their size.

It appeared as an aura to him and it was usually like fire, eternally moving without stopping.

For example, Farold's could be seen as a gold aura with a height of 10 meters. Once it is lowered even one bit, it would somehow be miraculously refilled which made him realize that this might be the limit Farold's talent as a destiny child was. 

If a miraculous thing that simply just looked like a coincidence occur, one's own luck aura would decrease a little bit. Depending on the quality, how much it decreases will be affected. 

If a person with a yellow luck aura were to win the lottery, his luck would diminish greatly but if a person with a gold luck aura were to win the lottery, it would only decrease by some. 

Although it was getting refilled, the refill wasn't instantaneous which meant there was a way. 

First, after his luck had gone out or is very low, he could ambush Farold and kill him.

However, he won't think about this now. His strength was too low to be compared to a gold luck aura. 

Not to mention that, he probably had to diminish his black luck aura for the plan to work too. Otherwise, a great expert suddenly traveling and then catching him try to kill Farold would be very possible.

While the gold luck aura finds a way for their owner to benefit, and help out in what they are doing, the black luck aura would constantly interfere with their owner's plans and make him die in the end. 

...

"The final battle will start in 10 seconds."

"10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1" 

"START" as soon as the statement was made, the 50 teams each spread over the large circular arena looked cautiously at each other until one of the teams initiated a fight with the team next to them. 

With a chain reaction, the other teams also started attacking each other until it was complete chaos. 

Surely, their team also got an opponent to face. 

He was a long range attacker so he immediately backed up and got his sniper out before taking aim. Within his view, he could see that June along with Duke had gone straight to the enemy and was attacking them. 

June had a pair of daggers within his hand as he skillfully wielded them to clash with a person who was using sword. June was constantly evading while sometimes using the wind to boost his speed. 

The speed of June was fast and his opponent could barely deal with him, but he was still managing it without losing. 

The dark daggers of June reached out to the throat of his opponent where the other person immediately got his sword out to defend. However, the other dagger immediately reached out to the wrist. 

The person who somehow though he already repelled the dagger was stunned. Without any other choice, he could only whistle. 

As he whistled, tiny tiny needles got up from his suit, heading towards June to attack him. 

Although Jue was surprised, he quickly calmed down. As he calmed down, wind started coming from nowhere as it soon created a tiny tornado. The tornado seemed to listen to June's commands as it quickly lifted his opponent up in the air. 

But his opponent was also not done. If not, they wouldn't have been qualified for this match at all. 

He rapidly spun his sword making a barrier where it nullified all the attacks directed towards him. Although it made his stamina drop by much, it was able to disrupt the tornado. 

As he was seeing, the battle wasn't going to end soon. 

On the other end, Duke had clashed with a person who focused on attacks. From the situation, he could see that it was very bad. Duke's armor had been pierced as blood could be seen dripping from his cheek. 

As for his enemy, it was a female who had a long hair and bright eyes. She was clearly radiating bright energy which made him repulsed unconsciously. 

Light energy and dark energy were opposite by nature, it can't be changed. 

He could see that this person was a beauty but it didn't bother him one bit. She seemed to be weak too so beating her should be easy. 

With this thought, he aimed at the woman before pulling the trigger which resulted in the bullet immediately piercing the head before stopping in it and self destructing. 

From this easy win, he was rather suspicious of how this woman had reached this far. But he didn't need to ponder about this further. 

He needed to help his teammates before they die. 

... 

The match have ended with nothing particular in them. He helped his teammates but Duke got disqualified because of his injuries in the next battle where June and him went until defeating three teams before losing to the fourth one. 

Now, he just needed to await the results. 

One day later. 

Outside his apartment, he received three letters. Two scarlet colors and one black color. There were one with a scarlet color and blue lines with the other scarlet one having golden lines. 

First, he checked the scarlet one with blue lines. On the outside, it said "Paraxenos" and within it, he found a passage basically saying that the academy had seen his results and wanted to accept him as a disciple. 

It said that it could give him a third-tier as a mentor. Although it sounded attractive, he wasn't interested in it by much. Searching it up, it was a high tier academy with only one fourth-tier who also served as the headmaster.

After this one, he opened the other one with golden lines.

The name of the academy was "Teras" and it seemed like a much more attractive deal compared to the previous one. Looking it up, it also said that it had three fourth-tiers and was considered a high grade school. 

Although he was tempted to join this one, he will see the remaining letter and decide. 

Next was the black one with golden lines like the one from before. With an exquisite golden line outlining. It seemed much more expensive than the last one.

But strangely, when he opened the letter, he found nothing. Just a blank piece of paper that had nothing written on it. Even with his perception, he couldn't find anything which truly meant that it was just a piece of blank paper.

However, he soon understood the reason. 

After going back to the golden lines again, this time, he actually found something contained within it. From the looks of it, it seemed intentionally made to be hidden by a third-tier. 

...

Dear Cylius. 

We invite you to the academy of Quintamore. 

Quintamore

...

This information was contained in it. Nothing special, just a short one. But through this act, he could see that the academy he was dealing with was much bigger than the other two and it didn't place much attention towards him. 

Compared to the previous ones where they clearly defined the studying environment, teachers, and what it promised him, it was a much more plain and simple one. 

But after searching about it on the internet, he understood about the reason. It was just as he had guessed, it was a ginormous academy. 

The Quintamore academy was a giant in the whole world. Consisting of many fourth-tiers, it was said that this was an association of fourth-tiers that united together to form an academy. 

Fourth-tiers taught there and it was said that the students there were the cream of the crop, picked from millions of talented people. It was neutral from both the human and the monster side and that any person with enough talent and money could go there and study. 

The fourth-tiers would be teaching them after all and they themselves also needed resources to cultivate to higher stages. 

For domain existences such as them, they were already at the top of the world. Just further than them would only be the esteemed majesty fifth-tiers and the sixth-tier ancestors. For the ancestors, they would be indifferent to the monsters and the humans, so they would open up secret dimensions and reside within that.

Not to mention talented people, you could see inheritors of the various noble clans commonly within the academy.

To enter the academy, the requirement was that you had to be a second-tier or very close to the second-tier that you would be able to reach it with time. Just from this requirement, one could see how picky and how powerful the academy was.

With a bunch of fourth-tiers, it was obvious that the tuition fee would be very expensive too. It was said that after graduating, one could do missions or work there and repay the tuition fee. Like becoming experimental subjects for fourth-tier teachers. 

Being the number 1 academy, one should expect the tuition fee to be very high.

So only the extremely talented and the extremely rich with a powerful background could go there and study. About what it promised, it was said that every student who have graduated from it will be a third-tier. There were no exceptions and this also revealed how deep the academy's background was. 

They actually had a way for someone to comprehend a rune and the fact that it was still existing meant its powerful background.

Led by a fifth-tier, this academy was truly a terrifying giant within the genetician world. Leading the world in genetic technology, it was the only point of intersection between the humans and the monsters that was peaceful. 

This academy was just the ideal choice for him to enter the genetician world and get stronger peacefully. 

Today was the day that the trainees would be considering about which academy they would decide and tomorrow would be the day where they would join the academy they chose. 

If someone wanted to enter an academy they hadn't received a letter from, they could also get tested by the teachers to determine whether they were worth it.
