Heavenly Saga

Chapter 132: Way To Mt. Verrater

A few hours ago, Teacher Kyleen decided to talk to the three misfits first before they entered deep meditation earlier. She started giving them some advice after seeing their dejected faces earlier.

She said, "I'm very glad that the three of you decided to enter the last competition. All of you must not be discouraged by that loss. Take that loss as a new experience. I'm sure that you never lost that miserably in a fight, where you do not have any chance at all."

She was extremely thankful for what Princess Kyomi and the other girls did to them. Even if they did not do that, Teacher Kyleen was planning on talking to them about the matter. Still, she was glad that the girls managed to get through the boys.

She continued talking, "That's how it is with life. Sometimes, there are some circumstances that we have no chance of winning. That's the time when we need to retreat. But that doesn't mean that we would give up our desires to reach the peak of the seishin cultivation world! Those times that we are too weak to do something are one of the reasons to work even harder. I'm sure that you know how cruel the world on the weak. That is why the only choice you have is to become strong. Strong enough to overcome any challenges that this cruel world will give into our ways!"

Kraftvoll and his two sworn brothers nodded in response to the homeroom teacher. Their eyes filled started to be filled with hopes after hearing those words.

Back to the present, Kraftvoll and the others finally reached their destination after walking from the Alstan Stadium all the way to the venue of the Battle Royale competition.

After entering the vicinity of the mountain, they saw Teacher Kyleen with their other classmates. They immediately went to their side after seeing them.

"All of you are finally here! I thought all of you will be late even at this big event at the academy. Well, it doesn't matter because all of you are finally here. Okay, when I call your name, go to the line that I pointed you to, okay?" said Teacher Kyleen after Kraftvoll and the others barely arrived at the time for the next competition.

"Okay!" said in unison by every student of the 210th class in response to their homeroom teacher, Teacher Kyleen.

"Glothion, go to the lane that one of your elemental teacher, Teacher Glonir, is leading," said Teacher Kyleen while pointing to Teacher Glonir's lane.

Teacher Kyleen started assigning all her students to various teachers who were going to be guiding them in the arena. All of them went to the respective lines that they were assigned to after they heard Teacher Kyleen's words.

When the competition starts, all these teachers would be the ones who will be guiding the students assigned to them to different spots at the bottom of the mountain.

At a time interval, the teachers will be letting students enter the competition one by one. For the first students to enter the mountain, the only choice for them to do was to either find a good hiding place or find a place that will help them ambush the other students easily. Those students who would follow the first batch would need to hunt the other students who already entered or find a good place to hide or a good place to ambush.

After Teacher Kyleen managed to call all the students of the 210th class, Kraftvoll was called last among the first grade of this year because he was the president of the class. Teacher Kyleen said to him, "Kraftvoll, go to Teacher Aldwin's line." He pointed to the lane that Teacher Aldwin was leading.

Kraftvoll did as Teacher Kyleen commanded him to. He went to the line where Teacher Aldwin was the one who will be guiding the students to their spot. 'Isn't Teacher Aldwin's line where Belle is assigned to?' he asked to himself while walking toward Teacher Aldwin's line's direction.

When he got near to his Dark element teacher's line, he saw Belle who was waiting for Teacher Aldwin's instruction. "Hey, Belle!" he shouted to Belle who was in deep thought.

When she heard Kraftvoll's call, Belle, who was just in deep thought, snapped out of it immediately. She gazed to the familiar voice that called out her name. She smiled after seeing that it was Kraftvoll who called her.

She responded to her call after that. She said, "You are assigned here too? I guess we will face each other earlier than I thought we would."

"It depends. Well, I guess there is a high chance of that. Like I did in our previous fight, I will not hold anything back again when I ever fight you again, okay?" said Kraftvoll in response to her best friend.

"I only hope so! Or else you know what will happen!" Belle said with a confident smile.

Kraftvoll only smiled after hearing that last remarks of Belle. He changed the topic immediately after that. "How long do you think this competition is going to start?" he asked.

Belle quickly responded, "I don't know. I think it will start in a few minutes, after all, it's already six in the evening. The sun is already setting at the horizon."

A moment later, Teacher Aldwin started announcing something, "Now that everyone is here, let's get moving. The Battle Royale will start at any minute now so we needed to go to the starting point of all of you so we better hurry."

After hearing that, Kraftvoll and Belle started to ready their mind for the competition that they were about to enter.

A moment later, Teacher Aldwin started walking toward the deeper part of the mountain. Every student in Kraftvoll and Belle's line started to follow Teacher Aldwin when he started going to the spot where they will be starting for this competition. Kraftvoll and Belle started to show serious expressions because they knew that the beginning of the competition was upon them.
