Of course, there were still a few rows of seats on the competition stage, which belonged to the officials from the two empires and the leaders of the two academies. Groups of students came to the arena one after another. They didn't lead any teams and were very scattered. Whether or not they wanted to watch the competition was up to them. The only one with a sense of order was a cheering squad made up of students from the same class as the contestants.
Loki sat there for only ten minutes before the field was packed with students and teachers. Loki had not seen Sofia yet. Probably backstage, Loki thought. The students below were very excited. The two academy cheers had already started their fight even before the match started. They waved the flowers in their hands and shouted out the names of their academy's competitors.
Although this competition was only the top 10, it did not affect their enthusiasm. Loki heard his name being called, even though it was almost drowned out by the clamor of the cheerleaders around him. Loki looked in the direction of the voice, saw no one, saw a hand waving at him from the crowd.
It was not long before Loki saw Beck, who had just squeezed out of the crowd but was being pushed back again. From Baker's side came grumbling and cursing at Baker for cutting in line. Baker didn't feel any displeasure from the people around him. He waved his hand at Loki, and he even jumped so hard that Loki could see him.
Loki stood up and was about to move toward Baker when another voice on the other side stopped him. Loki looked back and saw it was Leah, and it gave him a headache. Which way should he go? So Rocky decided to sit down and wait for them. After a while, Leah arrived first. It seemed that her social interaction was much better than Baker's, and it was much more effective to courteously ask someone to let Daubrecq use physical force in a way that was more violent than Baker's.
When Liya reached Loki, he got up and offered her a seat. Loki, at least, was a gentleman. Leah didn't choose to sit down, but stood and chatted with Loki. Loki asked, "Lia, why aren't you competing? Not even the cheerleaders. Isn't Sophia in the same class as you? "
Leah replied, "Heh heh, I came back with you. How am I supposed to participate? Besides, I won't be able to get any good results if I participate. Unlike Sophia, I didn't think that Sophia would make it to the top 10. She was amazing, and with so many senior students. She's the idol of our class now. As for the cheerleading team, I don't want to participate. "
Loki understood Lia, and remembered how Lia had used him to keep the others out of sight at the Merrisian princesses' ceremony. He knew that Leah was a girl who didn't like big scenes, unlike Princess Kathleen. By this time, Baker had pushed his way through the crowd toward Loki and Leah.
Baker said to Loki from afar, "Hi ~ ~ It's been a while." When did you get back to Lodge? " Loki replied with a smile, "I just came back yesterday. "Why are you here?" Baker walked up to Loki and said, "Let me take a look. Although Sophia is only a top 10 fighter, she's quite famous as a freshman." Baker chuckled and said, "Another main reason is that Sophia is one of the top ten beauties of our academy." And Lois and Liaha. " Leah glared back at Baker.
Loki wasn't surprised, because schools liked to make this ranking, which was very similar to the schools on Earth. The rankings of this continent did not distinguish between right and left, and everyone had a different feeling. Loki wasn't interested in this ranking at all. To him, this was a boring method.
Not long after, the match began. Firstly, the officials from both countries had come on stage. As it was not the final battle, the number of officials that had come was not very high. Roche did not see Katharina at the meeting, as Sofia was supposed to be there. Probably caught up with the Empire, Loki thought.
After the officials took their seats, they became the leaders of the two major academies. Marion was now following the Headmaster of the Milan Empire's Military Academy. Unlike Malin, he was different from a warrior. He didn't have a beard, but he looked much younger and had a very tall and sturdy build. Marion followed behind the principal, but his eyes were looking for something in the crowd of people below.
Finally Marion's gaze stopped on Rocky, who didn't feel good about it, and turned his head to give him a blow to the back of the head. Only then did Marian smile in satisfaction and turn around to follow the dean. Baker was continuously explaining the rules of the competition to Loki and Leah. Leah was a freshman, so she didn't know much about it.
There were three matches this morning. All of them were for the top 10. Sofia's match was scheduled for the second round. The arrangement of the tournament was to ensure that the competitors from both countries would not run into any members from their own countries. However, there were also surprises. Today, Sophia was battling against someone from the Milan Empire. Since Sophia had already passed, the battle was in the middle.
Two young men appeared on the stage. They were the main characters of the first match. The appearance of the contestants caused the atmosphere in the stadium to become even more intense, and the morale of the cheering squad also increased. The two contestants were both warrior warriors. They were young men in their thirties who came from the Milan Empire and Wulan Usu Empire respectively.
Loki wasn't affected by the atmosphere and wasn't interested in a match like this. Loki asked Baker about Sofia's opponent. From Beck's words, he knew that Sophia's opponent did not have any dou qi and was not very strong. He also knew that since Baker had been defeated by Sophia, this was not something Loki had expected. Baker's own explanation was that Sophia's family's combat skills were too terrifying.
To the students, the exciting and intense battle seemed boring in Luo Qi's eyes. Loki decided that Sofia would leave after the game, and he had to go to the auction house. Three months had passed, and Loki was still waiting for his share of the money. Loki waited patiently for Sophia to arrive.
The Milan Empire's competitors are much stronger than in the past year. In the Mage Competition, Luo Si became the champion. There were also more people who qualified in the Warrior Tournament than the Ou Clan, which resulted in Sophia's opponent becoming a member of her own Empire. The first round of the competition ended with the victories of the participants from the Wu Lan Empire. This caused the Wulan Wusu Empire's cheering squad to become even more crazy. Meanwhile, the Milan Empire was filled with boos and dissatisfied discussions.
At this moment, Sophia and her opponent walked over, allowing the Milan Empire's students and teachers to regain their former liveliness. "Sofia, come on, we're looking at you," Leah called out for the first time from next to Loki. Sophia, on the other hand, was not as unconcerned about anything as she used to be.
Sophia was looking at the crowd, just like Marion was doing. Her appearance made the boys below the stage shout even more crazily. However, Sophia didn't have a confident smile on her face. She still had worry on her face. She always liked to put things on her face.
