As the Principal appeared at the center of the arena, standing mid-air, my gaze subconsciously turned toward Aria. I knew a bit about her relationship with her grandfather from the novel. Although it wasn't bad, it wasn't exactly good either.
Sir Arwen had little ti to spend with Aria since she was a child because of his work and many responsibilities. While Aria adored him and aspired to live up to the family legacy, the emotional distance between them created an unspoken tension.
Despite his towering presence and unmatched power, Sir Arwen struggled to connect with his granddaughter on a personal level, often prioritizing the greater good over familial bond ti.
Though I am sure she knows why he does it and always protects her. But that understanding didn't completely erase the loneliness she felt growing up. I could see the flicker of emotion in her eyes as she looked up at him. Her expression was a mix of admiration, longing, and a hint of sadness.
Right, now that I rember it, he was the only family mber she has, and there was no ntion of her parents or other relatives even in the novel.
"Now, I announce the beginning of this year's Championship Tournant!" Principal Arwen's voice echoed through the arena, carrying with it a weight of authority and anticipation.
The crowd erupted into applause, cheers filling the Grand Magus Colosseum as the students and spectators celebrated the official start of the tournant. The energy was electric, a palpable sense of excitent coursing through everyone present.
As the applause began to die down, the announcers took over, their voices infused with enthusiasm. "Thank you, Principal Arwen, for that inspiring opening!" the first announcer exclaid. "Now, let's get down to the events that will kick off today's tournant!"
"Indeed!" the second announcer chid in. "We have three thrilling events lined up for you today, each designed to test our students' skills, strategies, and teamwork. Let's dive into the details, shall we?"
The first announcer continued, "Our first event is the Elental Relay!"
Gasps and murmurs of excitent rippled through the crowd. The Elental Relay was a favorite among spectators, known for its fast pace and the way it showcased the students' elental mastery.
"This bonus event will challenge our students' agility, coordination, and control over their elental magic," the second announcer elaborated. "Teams of four will race through an obstacle course filled with various elental challenges. Each team mber must use their unique abilities to overco obstacles and pass the baton to the next teammate. The first team to cross the finish line wins!"
"As for the rules, four students will be randomly chosen from each year and will be mixed into four teams of four from each year. Since this is a one-ti bonus event, the students don't have to worry about their pre-registered 5 events."
The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, eager to see the students in action. The announcer's voice bood through the arena, explaining the rules and the stakes. "This year's prize for the Elental Relay includes a set of rare enchanted artifacts that enhance elental magic, donated by our very own alumni.
In addition, the winning team will receive a special training session with one of the academy's top professors."
"The Elental Relay promises to be a thrilling start to the tournant," the first announcer said, his excitent evident. "Now, let's choose the individuals that will be competing in our first event!"
As the excitent in the arena reached a fever pitch, the announcers prepared to announce the randomly selected students for the Elental Relay. A large magical screen appeared above the arena, displaying the nas of the students from each year.
The first announcer's voice bood through the Colosseum, "Let's start with the first-year students! The magical screen will now select four random nas. Let's see who the lucky students are."
The screen flashed with the nas of all the first-year students, and after a few seconds, four nas with the images erged:
----
Aurelius Avondale
Kale Case
Ren Wintershade
Sophie Brightshield
----
Well, if luck is ntioned, the protagonist should be there, right?
The crowd cheered as the nas were announced, and the chosen first-year students stepped forward, their expressions a mix of surprise and anxiety.
"Next, we have the second-year students!" the second announcer continued, as the screen displayed the nas of the second years before settling on four:
----

Rowan Ironheart
Elise Starfire
Nola Frostwind
----
And here cos our two strongest second-year seniors.
The cheers grew louder as the second-year students were selected, particularly for Ciel and Rowan, whose reputations preceded them.
"Now, onto the third-year students!" the first announcer proclaid. The screen flashed once more, revealing the nas of four third-years:

The crowd's enthusiasm didn't wane, as the third-year students took their places, each looking eager to prove themselves. Heck, just like the second years, their two strongest mbers ended up being chosen.
"And finally, our fourth-year students!" the second announcer declared, as the screen displayed the final set of nas:

(Un)fortunately, none of the famous trio of the fourth year were chosen. Guess, they aren't as lucky as many expected them to be, haha.
With all the nas announced, the announcers moved on to the next part. "Now, we will mix the students into four teams, each team consisting of one student from each year," the first announcer explained. "This random selection will ensure a balanced and exciting competition!"
