At the end of the day’s fighting, the highlights went to the Elental Academy and the Clark Group, which managed to wipe out its historic rivals, The Cats.
anwhile, the MVP of the day was awarded to Jenna White for her outstanding performance.
So of the City Masters had nothing to say, and although others made a fuss about it, the judges had spoken; they belonged to the board of directors of the Awakened Association, so no one could object.
Jenna White scored enough points to pull ahead of everyone else in the race for the final tournant recognition: the MVP Award, which ca with a nice sum of money.
But that was the least of Jenna’s concerns.
The matchups for the next day were decided that very day.
On the Winners’ side, Angelic Wave and the Elental Academy attracted a lot of attention. On the one hand, they had the highlights of the day, and on the other, there were surprise revelations and an MVP of the day.
In addition, these groups have seed to develop a particular animosity towards each other lately, which has further increased the tension.
The Clark Group and Broken Leaf went a little unnoticed this ti, but everyone knew they would put on a good show, as they were evenly matched.
On the other hand, in the Losers’ Brackets, the matchups were as follows:
Hawk Fury vs Golden Eagle.
The Cats vs Ashle Family.
The first teams to be eliminated will be decided tomorrow.
Fortunately, each team would have enough ti to prepare.
Angelic Wave returned to the Guild Headquarters.
"Go to the Training Hall. We’ve prepared food and various other things for you to enjoy. There are important books explained by great teachers that we’ve brought for you so that you can raise your Sense. I’ll go with you when we finish planning tomorrow’s strategy," said Steward.
Elliot and the others said goodbye after that, arriving at the Training Hall shortly thereafter.
"Elliot, this soup is made from Orc Mage brains." Jenna was surprised to see it.
"The one you ntioned before?"
"Yes. Although it’s quite diluted with spices and other things, it should be able to increase our concentration and perhaps give us so sense."
Elliot looked at the books Steward had had placed in this room and finally understood why he had put them there.
"I see. So, they sent us those books and this soup so we can focus on raising our Sense as quickly as possible."
Jenna and the others finally realized. "I see, so that’s why..."
"This soup was made by so master chef from the Rune Kingdom," Chris said suddenly, drawing everyone’s attention.
"From the Rune Kingdom? I heard it was created from the cities and provinces that the Rune Saint won from the Saints of the Arce Kingdom..."
"Yes. Although they are still a small kingdom, they are specialists in making this type of soup."
"Have you been to the Rune Kingdom, Chris?" Elliot asked curiously, and Chris nodded.
"Haha, several tis. Although it’s an enemy kingdom, trade agreents allow anyone without malicious intent to travel between the two countries. It’s small, but they have many interesting things."
While everyone was chatting casually, Andrew continued eating in silence until soone said sothing wrong that struck a chord with him.
"The Runic Saint was not the creator of the Runic Kingdom; that information is incorrect," he said, looking at Chris and Rich, who had said it.
They both turned to look at him and frowned. "He wasn’t?"
"Heh. The runes of the Runic Saint were made by a great blacksmith long ago, and based on those runes, the kingdom was founded. Without the runes, the kingdom would not exist. And with those runes used well, eventually the Runic Kingdom will swallow up the Arce Kingdom." He replied firmly.
That made Chris and Rich frown. "Swallow us? Haha, that little kingdom is barely struggling to survive and trying to make a na for itself just because its leader managed to get one of the tokens to participate in the World Championship. I think you’re overestimating them."
"Hahaha." Andrew suddenly started laughing. "If you believe that, why don’t you tell what the treasure is that the Kingdom of Arce was founded on?" He looked at them both, waiting for an answer.
But no one responded.
"See? It’s not that you don’t know, it’s that it doesn’t exist. According to legend, it was a great mirror with mystical powers, but no one has ever actually seen it. There is no record of its existence, so we can say that it doesn’t exist. They were founded when the ancient countries of this region were destroyed, and they have continued to exist thanks to that."
"But the Runic Kingdom has the set of runes made by that great blacksmith, that’s their treasure, and everyone knows it. It’s a tangible treasure, accepted by the Global Awakening System. Do you still believe it won’t be swallowed up one day?"
It was the first ti Andrew had spoken so much since they had t him, and this ti he was even angrier as he spoke.
Why was he angry? Was he such a fan of the Rune Kingdom, or was it because Angelic Wave had its roots there?
Elliot frowned. ’His annoyance started when they ntioned the creator of the Kingdom, and he ntioned the true creator...’ He thought and tried to connect the dots. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Andrew.
"The blacksmith you’re talking about... Could it be the Saint Blacksmith of the Waterfall?" He asked suddenly.
Andrew looked at him for a mont and smiled, lowering his voice.
"That’s right. The most famous Saint Blacksmith on the continent is the true creator of the Rune Kingdom."
Elliot nodded. There was sothing that had made him investigate the Saint Blacksmith before.
In addition to being a Saint Rank, he had also been missing for a long ti, and according to rumors, his disappearance was similar to that of his father.
That’s why he was doubtful. Could those disappearances be related to each other?
’My father was very close to the Saint Rank when he disappeared, he could even have been in that rank at the ti; if the disappearance of two Saint Ranks were connected and caused by the sa force... What level of power could those enemies have?’
He felt his body shudder at the re thought of it.
But he had information to get, so he tried to ask Andrew sothing else.
"They say he disappeared, do you have..."
Just as he was about to ask, the door burst open. Professors Ren and Alan brought in several sheets of paper with different strategies explained and drawn on them.
"Study all this, don’t talk nonsense. We’re trying to co up with an effective and perfect strategy. We’ll train you tonight," Ren said quickly after banging on the table.
Alan continued, "Rember, we’re against ti right now."
Then they both left.
It was then that everyone realized that arguing about nonsense was not what they should be doing right now.
Andrew quickly composed himself, nodded to Elliot to speak later, and got up after finishing his soup. "Let’s hurry. We don’t have ti. Get reading, guys. We have several hours of training tonight."
