Chapter 130: Who's Going To Enter
After Kyleen explained everything, everyone understood the mechanics of the next competition. Although it was called Battle Royale, it wasn't technically like the usual Battle Royale, it was more like a survival game.
The last competition of the yearly tournament was only called Battle Royale because all of the students who will be participating would become each others' opponents.
After hearing the rules, some of the students of the 210th class decided to participate in the next competition. One by one, they all started enlisting to the competition but Kraftvoll and his teammates in the three-man team were still hesitating about joining this competition.
They were pretty much traumatized after the excruciating pain that they felt when they were fighting against the three-man team of the eighth grade. The pain that they felt at that moment was etched in their hearts which was why they can't muster the courage to say that they would join the next competition.
Princess Kyomi and Belle saw that the boys were still hesitating about joining so they got a little worried about them. The two of them decided to talk to them about this matter. They couldn't ignore the gloomy faces of the three misfits. Along with the two of them, Princess Gloriel and the other members of the six-man team of the first grade came along.
"Hey, Kraftvoll. I thought all of you will be joining the Battle Royale competition?" asked Belle to Kraftvoll who was just silent about the matter.
After hearing Belle's inquiry, Kraftvoll gazed toward his left abdomen. He remembered the pain he had been through after he was hit by that molten projectile that was conjured by that powerful eighth-year student. Prince Aragorn and Godwin also did the same after hearing Belle's question to their First Brother.
Princess Kyomi and the others realized how Kraftvoll, Godwin, and Prince Aragorn were affected after they lost that match miserably. Instead of comforting them, Princess Kyomi decided to light up their downed ego with little harsh words.
She said to them, "Hey! Losing that match is not the end of the world! All of you lost that match because all of you are still weaklings! The only choice for you to not feel that pain again in the future is to get stronger! If you are strong, then no one will be able to do that anymore to all of you!"
Kraftvoll, Godwin, and Prince Aragorn's downed spirit suddenly lighten up. After hearing their classmate's words, they realized something that helped them to get up.
Kraftvoll thought to himself, 'This is still the beginning. As a seishin practitioner, I must not give up! Only those people who gave up are the losers!
While Prince Aragorn thought to himself, 'As one of the royalties of the Fhinnuisce King, I must not lose spirits to something simple like this! I must become strong! I will never lose like this again!'
In Godwin's mind, he thought, 'My father is one of the strongest seishin practitioners in the world, how can I lose my motivation for something like this!? I must become as strong as my him, no, I will surpass him!'
In the world ruled by seishin practitioners, those who weep because of their weakness will only be surpassed by those who continue to grow stronger. That's why only those with strong minds managed to reach the peak of the world in the long history of seishin cultivation.
The three of them stood up and they declared to their homeroom teacher, Teacher Kyleen, that they will be joining the next competition. They realized that it was no time for them to be down by their weaknesses. They realized that they must do everything to get stronger.
"Thank you, Kyomi, Belle, and girls!" said Kraftvoll with a smile. All of the girls, especially Kyomi and Belle, made them realize that those who have weak hearts have no place in the world of the strong.
Teacher Kyleen was happy after the three boys regained some of the motivation that they had lost. Normally, people who faced those who have absolute strength would be disheartened about their futures. But the matter was different in these kids' case, their talent is top-notch among their peers. Their talents were like unrefined jewels so losing their will for something trivial as a loss in a non-death match fight was a huge loss.
If they were disheartened by something like this, there was no way that they would be able to reach the peak like those peerless experts of the seshin cultivation. Teacher Kyleen thought that if these kids ever discouraged about getting stronger, it would be such a huge waste for the Holy Alliance.
Teacher Kyleen continued talking after she was able to finalize who was going to enter the last competition.
Twenty out of the twenty-two students of the 210th class of the Verrater Academy decided to join. The other two classmates of Kraftvoll did not join the last competition of the tournament because they had responsibilities in the food stand that they had put up outside Alstan Stadium.
Theomund and Avor, Kraftvoll's classmates who decided to not enter the next competition, decided to go on their way to their food stand before Teacher Kyleen discussed the details of the Battle Royale competition. All of the things that Teacher Kyleen will be announcing afterward were all about the next competition so there was no need for them to listen.
When those two classmates of Kraftvoll exited the room, Teacher Kyleen started talking about further details of the next competition. "Since all of you are in your first year at our great academy, some of you might not have the knowledge of the venue of the next competition. The venue of the last competition for this year's tournament is at the Mt. Verrater."
Kraftvoll and the other students of the 210th class were shocked after hearing what Teacher Kyleen had said. They realized now why the Battle Royale Competition was not held in the Alstan Stadium.
