Chapter 16: CHAPTER 15 HEAVENLY KINGS!
Even Tony who has come with her for the working students exam is actually the heir of a powerful middle size clan name 'Strength Clan', the reason why he why he enter the academy as a working student is because of their families tradition.
His grandfather who is also the founder and the current leader of their clan was a working student in this academy, years ago his father also entered the academy as a working student and Tony followed their footsteps. The increase in working student's slot from two to three was also because of him.
he only able to reached the three rings recently is neither because of poverty nor he is innately less talented than Ria but it is because of a special cultivation method he is using, that focus mainly on increasing his physical strength in early years rather than soul power but his cultivation speed will also increase after level thirty.
"Kai I have to say, with you in team we will definitely win the competition" Tony.
"Thanks for the compliment but I don't think it will be that easy, didn't you heard what teacher Naina said, this year's batch is best in last five decades" Kai.
Sera say "Kai is right, you know our two other roommates are also first year students from class two, we don't know their exact cultivation but both of them are also three ringed soul fighters".
"Then be ready and rest well today, the next two days are going to be very important for our practice" Kai.
"What about team name" Ria.
"I have already thought of it" Sera said excitedly "our team's name should be.... Heavenly Kings!".
...........
Three days later.
In class one of first year, Naina is giving her students guidance before the competition will start "all of you don't have to be worry or nervous, just go all out without injuring yourselves, our target is to become class A got it. Specially the four of you".
Naina looked at Kai and his group "you are the strongest team of our class one and your goal should be to become the last winner of this competition. Three of you are working students but do you know one of the prize that academy gives to the winning team? Its a fee concession for not only your first year but as long as you study in this academy".
Her words fee concession might not effect other students but it made Ria's eyes sparkle, she is a working student from a middle class family, even though her parents are also soul wielder but they are not very strong and don't have high position.
She is also not as extraordinary goof in completing missions as Kai and it made difficult for her to save extra points after the monthly fees, if she can get the fee concession than she will not have to worry about her fees every month. She might be weakest in her team but she is not weak among her peers, her cultivation is sixth in whole class one.
..........
In half a hour all the first year students gather in the academy's battle arena waiting for the rules to be announce.
At this moment a Ema, walk on the middle as she held a box in her hands, "Welcome students, I am the Ema dean of our academy's research department, I will tell you the rules of the competition. First section of the competition is round robin".
"This year there are twenty four teams which will be divided into four groups, A,B,C and D, every group has six teams. Every team will have to face against other teams of their group, round robin will be 3vs3 while semifinals and finals will be 4vs4. The final winner from every group will proceed to semifinals and then two remaining teams will fight in finals".
"In this box are 24 chits with different a team's name on every chit, I will personally pull out chits and announce the name. We will start with group A" Ema say while she also pull out a chit of name from the box.
"First team of group A....." Ema announce the team names one after another till the last team of group D which is also the group Kai's team is in.
After stating all the names Ema paused for a moment then say "battle of four groups will be held stimulatory on the four different areas of the arena, there will be a teacher acting as a referee responsible for a group".
Four teachers walk out, "group D follow me" one of the teacher said, is the same teacher who took Kai's working student test Bruce.
All the team of group D follow him to the southeast side of the arena, where a stage for a battle is already prepared.
Bruce look over all the teams "the team who's name I say will ascend the battle stage. Dark Lords vs Heavenly Kings".
Kai's team is actually first to fight. They have already thought about it for the first fight Kai, Sera and Ria will be the one to go, while they save Tony for the later fights. On the other side three boys ascend the stage.
Ben "give your introduction".
Tall boy leading dark lords say arrogantly "Dark Lord's Axel, level 32".
The boy in his right follow "Rine, level 30".
Then the boy on left "Kale, level 29".
All three of them are visibly very arrogant of their own talent, but their arrogance is crushed the next instant.
"Heavenly King's Kai, level 32" Kai's introduction is simple but it hit his opponent hard.
Sera just snort coldly toward those boys and say "Sera, level 33".
"Ria, 29" she didn't even use any other words.
"Both teams retreat to your side of arena" Ben's voice wake the boys awake from there shock.
Six of them retreat toward their own sides and wait for Ben's call.
Ben look at both sides "ready, begin!".
At Ben's shout, both side released their Martial Souls. On the side of dark lords, three black rings and a double headed black as appear in Axel's grasp 'Darkness Axe'.
Two black wings appear on Rine's back as three black rings also appear on him 'Black shadow eagle'. Kale's body grow a little and black her appeared on the back of his hand while he also howl like a wolf and two black rings appear on him. His Martial Soul is actually 'Shadow Wolf'.
