Book 6: Chapter 9

Scarlet

My interest quickly fully locks onto the tournament when the college competitors are teleported out and the next bunch of competitors are teleported in. Competitors including both the junior high and high school Guardians.

Or, to be more specific, my interest locks on to Aria who I see standing somewhere in the middle of the few thousand students down there. All of them ranging from twelve to nineteen in age. Depending on when their birthdays were in the year. And assuming they didnt skip grades or get held back.

Okay, Ill just stick to seventh through twelfth graders. More accurate that way.

And now!!! For the first time since the dawn of the Interschool Tournaments, we have our competing high schools and junior high schools! Black declares, a wide grin on his face. And wouldnt ya know it, but we actually have a few rather special individuals amongst this batch to! How much ya wanna bet you can pick out who I mean?

I ignore the mans theatrics as I lean forward in my seat, finding the people in the VIP booth with me having gone silent with anticipation clearly on their faces.The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n((.))co/m

Many of you have been waiting for this for a while now, and dont worry, we have a pain nullifier set for these lovely kiddos should they wish to activate it, Black says before spinning in place on the large screen above the stadium. Now for how thisll work! There will be three types of competitions! One for each grade level, one for the school level whether theyre highschoolers or junior highschoolers and one for all of them! And amongst these different types, there will be two competitions within! One that is a direct tournament pitting the students against each other, and one that is just like the other competitions in the Interschool Tournament! It could be a maze, or maybe something like Demon Hunt or a puzzle house. But I can say for sure that it will involve using their powers in the competition! And it will be different for every grade level!

Yeah, I already knew all that. I also know what each competition is, simply because Im technically part of the tournament staff. Even if my only job is to stand up on a podium at the end and hand the winner a trophy with a smile on my face.

A rather easy job.

I do still have to admit though, the pain nullifier thing was a good idea. There were still a lot of parents against the whole letting the junior highschoolers enter the tournament. Not as much for the highschoolers though.

The last difference is a rather obvious one, as we have children competing, Black says while pointing at the rules once more. The demons will all be Class I, with the strongest demon being a single Captain at the very center at level one hundred!

Would be weird if that wasnt how it was. Theyre all kids after all. So having Class IIs and IIIs in there would be ridiculous.

All of the students will be teleported randomly throughout the maze once the competition begins, and each demon will count for a single point, Black continues as he begins to float into the air out of the booth hes in to end up midair high above the students with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. And as an incentive for everyone of you, youll be able to turn in your points just like the college students, even if you arent getting university points like them!

And that one simple statement immediately skyrockets their motivation to a visible extent. Clearly past what it was already at before.

He certainly knows how to motivate them, thats for sure.

I tap my finger on my arm, my arms crossed in front of me as well.

Other than Aria, there should be several other sons and daughters of Class V Guardians. Even if none of their parents are Knights like Arias father.

There is one particular Guardian down there though one in the same grade as Aria even

Thisll definitely be interesting.

Now! Black shouts while raising one arm. Lets begin!

And dropping the arm again, making the maze appear in the center of the arena and all of the seventh graders appear inside of said maze at random.
