When we arrived at the arena, we were imdiately brought into a waiting room that had been prepared for us.
This was a private waiting room as it had our nas on it.
When we walked through the hall, we could see that all of the large guilds and even so of the bigger guilds had received private waiting rooms.
It seed that they had gone all out for this tournant.
As we sat there in the waiting room, we were able to see everything that was happening on stage.
It was a very fabulous show, worthy of a tournant jointly hosted by all the large guilds.
There were world class entertainers that ca onto the stage one after another.
At the end, there were even several S Rankers that ca out to say a few words. These were the guild masters of the various large guilds.
Of course, not all the guild masters ca.
S Rankers were busy people in the first place and they weren't able to get out of their work that easily. There were many things that needed S Rankers to personally handle, so they didn't have that much free ti.
The ones that ca were more than happy to co since it was a chance to slack off.
That ant that Bing Lan wasn't here even though Elentia was one of the sponsors.
After this entire ceremony, they started introducing the contestants.
The first contestants that were brought out were the ones that had made it through the general preliminaries.
It wasn't just only those from the large guilds that were at this tournant, but also the general public was allowed to enter. As long as they passed the preliminary tests and passed the open qualifiers, they would be allowed to join this main tournant.
But that ant that the ones that were allowed to join the main tournant were all the cream of the crop.
They were unaffiliated Awakeners who for so reason hadn't been discovered by the large guilds yet.
After they established their fa at this tournant, there was no doubt that they would be invited to join the large guilds.
So this was not only an opportunity for them, but also an opportunity for the large guilds to find so more talents.
After they were introduced, it was finally ti to bring out the seeded contestants from the large guilds and large organizations.
We were called out in the middle of the pack.
When we arrived on stage, we were imdiately t with cheers just because of the fact that we were from Elentia.
But in a certain corner of the crowd…
"It really is him…How could it be him?" Yue Ling said in a shocked voice.
The girl who was beside her noticed this, but she could see the way that the other mbers of their group were looking at Yue Ling. So she quickly patted Yue Ling on the arm to get her to calm down.
Yue Ling didn't react at first, but then she slowly cald down and revealed an indifferent look.
But the damage had already been done.
"Check that kid. See what happened in the past few months."
On the stage, we walked to our designated location and then stood there waiting for the tournant to start.
Standing beside us was Alex and the group from Eden on one side and Julius and the group from the Rothschild Family on the other.
I knew about Alex since he had co out before us, but I was surprised about Julius since he ca out right after us.
Even Alex seed surprised by this.
It seed that he had used his influence to change his spot so that he would be called up after us.
As we stood there, Julius just looked at with a wide smile and said, "What a coincidence."
Both Alex and I revealed bitter smiles, but we didn't say anything as we waited for the host to finish all of their introductions.
From ti to ti, I could feel that there were so unkind gazes that ca in our direction.
They weren't exactly filled with hostility, but it was clear that they weren't filled with kindness towards us either.
After a long ti, the host finally finished introducing everyone.
Just this alone was enough to take an hour with how many different people had to be introduced. Though if they didn't spend a few minutes for each person just introducing them, then it might not have been as long.
But this was sothing that had to be done to build prestige I guess.
After it was all done, I was surprised to hear that we were jumping right into it.
"Now that everyone has been introduced, let introduce the first round." The host gestured and there was a screen that ca down.
Once the screen fully ca down, there was a set of rules that appeared on it.
At the sa ti, there was what seed to be a scoreboard that appeared on the side.
To my surprise, I found that I was one of the few that was put on the scoreboard.
The others were…the ones that were favoured to win this whole tournant.
Was I one of the favoured ones as well?
Why did I never hear about this?
The host continued by saying, "Since our contestants are all Awakeners, naturally we will test them in the one environnt that Awakeners are known for. Our first round will be a dungeon dive."
As soon as his voice fell, there was a portal that suddenly appeared on stage with him.
None of us were really surprised by the fact that it was a dungeon for the first round, but we were surprised to see this portal appear out of nowhere.
None of us seed to expect this portal to suddenly appear like this. At the sa ti, it was clear that we could all sense the strange sensation that was coming from this portal.
It seed that whatever this was, it definitely wasn't normal.
