Chapter 10: Performance Evaluating[2]
"I AM JAMES TRISTAN AND TODAY YOU ARE HERE TO BE EVALUATED BY THE INSTRUCTORS, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!?" said a man with a scar running across his left eye red hair, and red eyes.
"YES SIR!"
After our mana theory class was over we were summoned to the arena with three other classes named A1, A2, and A4.
And today as I know from the novel we were going to be evaluated by the instructors and from that evaluation the instructor who is interested in us will choose us to be their disciple.
Yes, this is literally like an auction where you will be sold to the buyer without your say, and nobody objects to it as all instructors present here are all veterans having records of surviving treacherous battles in the war and still standing alive.
But I have to be evaluated first for that to happen.
And I have to give my best not to be left behind as this is as important for me as this is for commoners, as commoners can't purchase techniques or skill books they have to gamble on this as this is the chance where their life can take the turn, which all commoners want.
"NOW ALL TAKE YOUR SEAT'S! RULES ARE SIMPLE.
1. DO NOT USE MANA.
2. DO NOT KILL.
THAT'S ALL!! NOW LET'S START THE MATCH! "
All took seats in the participant stand's as from the back seat of the stand I took in the arena, it was happening in the real arena used for tournaments and duels.
If I have to describe the arena in one word it would be HUGE, HUGE means HUGE.
As I took in the arena with its thousand upon thousands of filled seats, yes thousand's full seats.
As the evaluation process was like an entertainment show for the academy and academy city tickets were booked and all-year cadets were there to watch your progress or failure.
It was done to get used to stares which will become obvious for some cadets if they lived to see tomorrow.
As I thought about that my stare paused on the VIP stand where all instructors or should I call legends of battles were seated all were famous warriors with their tales and the student councils were seated with the directors of the academy.
"NOW AS PER THE RANKS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN COME FORWARD FOR YOUR MATCH."
As Mr. Tristan said that, I moved my gaze back to the screen and ranks begin to show on the big screen in the middle of the arena, and it was random as the first match was of rank 681 vs 132.
"RANK 681 AND 132 COME FORWARD "
After several minutes two cadets emerge from the left waiting room and the right waiting room, and there were booming cheers for them.
"AND PLEASE NEXT RANK DESCRIBED WAIT FOR YOUR TURN TO COME IN THE WAITING STAND."
"NOW RANK 681 AND 132 READY!"
"READY!!"
Said both cadets one with a spear and one with a saber
When the match started, the rank 681 cadet seemed to hesitate at first with the stares of countless people at him, when they clashed their weapons but after that, he also started to showdown his skill as a result I predicted rank 132 win the match.
Again the match started with different ranks, this circle repeated for half an hour until it was finally the protagonist's turn.
"RANK 1 VS RANK 37!"
Cheers louder than ever before erupted at the arrival of Leon with the singing of his name, Leon has already made a name for himself as a genius from being the disciple of the sword king.
So it was obvious they were looking forward to it, even online betting commenced at the arrival of the protagonist, and who? well, what fate has played the game it was Gred fraith!
Yes! This was your typical showing off of the protagonist against the typical villain.
As the betting commences I took all the money I have from the account and betted, of course on Leon.
"Why let go of easy money."
"RANK 1 AND RANK 37 READY!!"
"READY!!"
First Gred lunged at Leon with his spear poised to strike at the neck like a snake, Leon simply backstepped and spun around with his sword elegantly and without wasting any moment, and countered attacked with a simple yet graceful downward swing.
And that's all he needed to make Gred fall to his knees as Gred tried to counterattack but found himself on his knees down.
As Gred struggled to stand up after that downward strike Leon put the blade at his neck
That's all Leon needed to bring down rank 37 of 3-star+ strength.
"Here's come my easy money, hehe. " Ahem, I was not smiling creepily.
The crowd went quiet after the sheer display of strength for a moment then.
"LEON!, LEON!, LEON!" booming voice louder than before ever started to revebreath around the arena, and I had to cover my ear's for it.
"This is the monster I am going to be within the team." and also whom Noah was sent to assassinate.
After that, Leon simply put the sword in the sheath and got back to the VIP stand while waving his hand at the crowd with a kind smile, but I knew better than anything, don't read a book by its cover.
And yes VIP stands as Leon's family is one of the sponsors of the academy so this is why he was given this privilege.
Well, he was your typical overpowered protagonist with heaven's blessing.
After Leon's match, there were a few more matches until finally it was my turn to go to the waiting room my match was against rank 56 who is 3 star-, it sure was going to be a tough match, after waiting patiently while watching match finally my turn arrived.
" RANK 56 AND RANK 666 PLEASE COME TO STAGE!"
"_" Well now I think about it isn't my number the devil's number, well suits me, Devils are way better than angels.
I made my way out of the training arena and there was a loud booming of my name, well not in a positive manner.
"DEFEAT THAT DEVIL!!!"
"YES! YES! SHOW HIM HIS PLACE!"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"DEFEAT THAT TRASH!"
Yes! This was how many bad rumors about me were, some were even like I go to prostitutes, red light district, I sell the body of the girls.
Yet it was all false this body owner was trash but not this type of, he just used to drink and smoke and hang out with other delinquents at the age of 14, yes only a 14-year-old boy was doing all that! well, I've seen worse, so this should be nothing new.
As I found myself against my opponent he was a male cadet with brown hair and teal eyes.
"Hello, disowned trash, today I will show you your place."
"_"
"What already fearing me huh??" I examined him thoroughly like I was looking at some animal.
"Wha-What keep your eyes off my body you disgusting trash. "
"Sorry, who are you?"
'_'?
"You don't know me???"
"I don't." I flatly said and that was true even from Noah's memory it was hard to find who he was, so it was better to ask.
"YOU BASTARD!"
