Chapter 226: 226: Introduction

While the crowd was fascinated at the trio on the circular arena. A certain group of students had their eyes hidden under a shade. All of the males and the females in the group crossed their arms especially the males.

"This is bad," said one of them before following by a nod.

"Huh? Is your low-world IQ get ahead of you? Hahaha, you country bumpkin, you are at the presence of three powerful cultivators, feast your eyes well, your weak academy might learn a thing or two," said one of the cultivators among the crowd.

He seemed also to be a student from an academy by his dressing. However, his words didn't manage to infuriate them at all. Instead, one of Nostria Academy said, "No, you don't understand."

"You see, that beautiful lady in dancing attire in the middle, lady Sophia, is in danger," continued the student.

"Huh? Hahaha, are you on drugs? How can a powerful cultivator like her be in danger in Mabia? Besides, who would dare to provoke her backing? She is a Treas family member for fuck sake! If anyone dares to do so, he must have a greater lineage or came from the sky or something."

The Nostria Academy student took a deep breath before he answered, "Well, you're goddamn right."

The student from another academy had a confused look before dropping the matter. Speaking with this fellow even further would only lower his intelligence. Alas, how could he know that his interlocutor was talking about a different kind of danger?

"Well, we won't bore you even further, overseers, let's take our seats," said Sophia before she leaped to one of the three seats prepared for them. The seats got the best view to look the entire circular arena while directly below them were the seats for the five principals.

Both of the men could only smile wryly before they followed suit. Raising her beautiful hand Sophia snapped her finger, signaling the man with a mallet to hit the gong.

With a nod, the man hit it with all his might before the resounding sound stilled the Colosseum once more. As the sound slowly diminished, the crowd was at the edge of their seat as the five academies were about to make their entrance.

Suddenly, Sophia stood up as she said, "I will allow myself to be the commentator of the Crown with utmost neutrality. Though I might not talk very much, I will do my best, now then, without further ado, here comes the first academy!"

Before the crowd could feel the surprise from her statement, one of the gates facing the arena gradually opened before footsteps were heard.

Leading the five students behind him was a well-built middle-aged man with handlebars mustache and long black hair. Wearing a black uniform, they made their way to the arena with pride and smile on their faces.

"There it is! The Snake Eye Academy!" cheered one of the crowds.

"Ah, Frion is there, leading the team!" said one of the crowds while pointing at a certain youth.

He had short black hair with a menacing look in his eyes. Though his face was quite a charming one, he didn't hide the brutality that resided within. With a grin on his face, the youth marched on.

"And there it is folks! The Snake Eye Academy, I heard that they are one of the favorites to win the Crown! Especially the young Frion, he sure looks promising, what say you old man Dan?" asked Sophia.

The old man was quite shocked when he was asked such a question but nonetheless, Dan didn't dare to offend this lady.

"Ah yes, he is quite promising and I'm sure the higher clans had their eyes set on that youth," nodded Old Dan.

The crowd immediately agreed with his opinion like it was a matter of course. Sophie however, only smiled as she saw the hint of bullshit in his expression.

(Old man, with old bullshit) thought Sophia though she didn't express it at all.

The principal immediately jumped to his seat before he cupped his hand with respect to the trio above them. He turned around and sat as he laughed, "Haha, this time it will be our win!"

"Well, I hate to break it to you Reyes but wait for the next generation to win, cause this time it will be ours."

The voice made the principal of Snake Eye Academy, Reyes Dermaga, furrowed his eyebrows.

The second gate opened before a team lead by a skinny middle-aged man that fanned his own face walked out. Their bright yellow uniform was eye-catching.

"There it is, the Talon Academy," said one of the crowd.

"Yes, and the famous twin, Audrich, and Erdrich," said one of them as they looked at the twin youths in the ranks.

Both having the same facial feature and lean figure, it was really hard to differ with one another. With their long black hair fluttering against the wind, one of them was revealed to wear a pair of white earrings while the other was black but no one knows which was which. However, one thing for sure was that they exuded confidence like none other.

"I see, that you are still alive and well, Talon of Northern Light, Beren Fois," quipped Reyes.

After greeting the overseers like the other, Beren took a sit on the right edge of the seats. The opposite of the man who just called his name.

"Not just anyone can bring down my life, Reyes," smirked Beren.

"Well well, the two academies sure have its rivalry! The Talon Academy with its twin danger, Audrich, and Erdrich! Surely their power cannot be underestimated, what are your thoughts Van the beastmaster?" asked Sophia.

Unlike Old Dan, the man already prepared himself an answer, "Yes, the two of them complimented each other with their unique style of fighting. Surely they are one of the favorites for a reason and I can't wait to see that!"

"Yes, we all cannot wait to see that but! Here comes the top contender, the last Crown Winner!"

Her voice caught the crowd's cheers as the third gate opened.
