Chapter 158 Second Day of the School Tournament
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Within minutes after the Magic Tournament between the Scarlet Academy and the Plum Blossom Academy began, the Plum Blossom Academy had already lost 3 of their participants while the Scarlet Academy was still on their first fighter.
"The disparity is so big that it's become hard to watch…" The audience cringed at how brutally overwhelming the Scarlet Academy was compared to the Plum Blossom Academy.
"Is this your first time watching the tournament? This happens every tournament. You'll get used to it eventually," said another person.
"This isn't even that bad. If Lia Scarlet was there, she'd finish the match in less than a minute."
Sometime later, all five students from the Plum Blossom Academy were defeated, and it only took two students from the Scarlet Academy to do so.
"Congratulations to the Scarlet Family for winning both matches and acquiring 2 points!" Thalia Laurens announced with excitement.
"As for the Plum Blossom Academy, don't let this defeat define you in this year's tournament! Just because you lost this one doesn't mean you are completely eliminated from the tournament, as you will have another opportunity to gain more points later!"
"Now then, let's see who will have the honor of being the second match for this tournament!?"
A few moments later.
[Wonderland] versus [Erda Academy]
The schools fighting the second match were relatively close in terms of strength, so the audience were excited to finally see decent matches— ones that won't end in just a few moments.
Leo paid attention to a couple matches before he got bored and said to Lilith, "I want to study the ancient magic circle."
"Right now?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I'm too bored. I want to enter the stage already and let loose, but who knows when it'll be our turn. It could even be hours before it's our turn, and even then I am not guaranteed to go onto the stage, especially considering how powerful the others are."
Lilith nodded, "If that's what you want."
She proceeded to show him the magic circle for the ancient magic.
Time passed in the blink of an eye while Leo was focused on the ancient magic, and before he was aware, 50 schools had gone onto the stage.
"How many more schools are left?" Leo asked Eve when he snapped back to reality.
"4 schools, so two more matches."
"Seriously? I don't know if I should consider this as being lucky or unlucky."
"Calm down. You'll get your chance in the spotlight." Eve smiled.
In the end, the Four Witches Academy did not get a chance to fight because they struck the lottery and managed to receive 2 points without doing anything.
When the audience learned that it was the Four Witches Academy that won the lottery, they weren't too upset about it, as they were aware of the Four Witches Academy's prowess.
Once the last two schools finished their match, Thalia spoke, "We will end the tournament here today. Please get some good rest and come back tomorrow. We will start the tournament at the same time."
Leo was speechless.
'Who could've thought that we would spend the whole day doing nothing?' Leo sighed inwardly as they left the stadium and returned to the bus.
"All participants are given free rooms in a nearby hotel. We will be staying there until the end of the tournament." Eve said to them once everyone was back on the bus.
The hotel they were given was naturally a luxurious hotel, and it was only about 10 minutes away from the stadium. However, due to the tight traffic there, it took them almost an hour to get there.
Once they were at the hotel, Even assigned them their rooms and said, "The meals are free for us. If you need anything, I will be in room 101. Gather at the lobby tomorrow morning at 6 AM. That's all. You can do whatever you want until then, but I suggest you all stay in your room and avoid meeting the other academies since we're not the only ones here, and I don't want unnecessary trouble."
She turned to look at Leo and continued, "This is especially true for you. I forbid you from leaving your room."
"What about my food?" He asked.
"I will bring it to your room."
"I see…"
Leo went to his room and went straight to lie on the bed.
"Ahhhh! All of my excitement and nervousness were pointless! I didn't even get to fight a single match today!" He complained out loud.
"Just wait until tomorrow. I'm sure you'll get to fight someone then."
"I sure hope so. I trained really hard for this, after all." He sighed before going to sleep early since he wanted the day to end as soon as possible.
The following day, Leo and the others returned to the stadium for the second day of the tournament.
"Welcome back, everyone!" Just like yesterday, Thalia was full of energy.
"Since this is the second day of the tournament, I will spare you all some time and get straight back into the tournament!"
"Let's see who will be fighting in the first match today!"
A few moments later.
[Flying Leviathan Academy] versus [Four Witches Academy]
"Oh! Look what we have here! The Four Witches Academy that managed to win the lottery yesterday has been picked to fight in the first match of the day!" Thalia shouted in excitement.
The crowd immediately began cheering.
Sometime later, Leo and the others made their way to the stage.
Once they were on the stage, Leo could feel countless gazes staring directly at him, causing him to swallow nervously.
'Looks like I have underestimated the pressure of being watched by tens of— if not hundreds of thousands of people at once…' He sighed inwardly.
"Just like yesterday, the Knight Tournament will go first! If you're ready, please send out your fighter!" Thalia announced.
Eve turned to look at Leo and the other two knights.
After pondering for a moment, she spoke, "Cora, you can go first."
"Yes, Headmistress." The female knight nodded before walking onto the stage.
