486 Ranking matches rules and confusing rumors
“Don’t pity . I will have to take the number one spot next year. That’s all.” lissa announced. Unlike her love for praise, lissa hated being pitied the most. She only loved positive attention.
*Bam* Maria hit the table for attention. “Quite down, or I will stop explaining.
*Tsk* Maria clicked her tongue as if she wanted the student to continue speaking and give her an excuse to stop the explanation.
*Sigh* “Because this is the last week of the month, each team must participate in at least one ranking match from the next month onwards. That ans each team will have to decide on which of the four to five Thursdays they compete in.”
Maria looked at lissa and continued, “However, if a team has missing mbers, they will not suffer from the penalty of participation stacking.”
[I thought it would be sothing problematic, but this is already the last week of the second month.]
[Furthermore, we have four months remaining until the academic year ends. It ans we can use the last month to fight every Thursday.]
[Hehe. It’s not like we will face a problem with the disparity of power levels between you and the students. You could even agree to surrender when the fight starts.]
[We can also...]
.....
However, while Kazumi was planning on how they should spend the last month of the academic year, Maria let out a long sigh.
*~Sigh~* “The grand alliance tournant will begin in the last month of our academic year. The best team will represent the academy, causing the ranking matches of the last month to have little to no aning.”
*Sigh* “All of you will need to compete at least three tis by the end of January. Usually, the winning team is chosen in January’s first or second weeks. But sotis there would be multiple strong teams and delay the winning team by a week or two.”
Maira glared at all the students in the classroom and threatened, “Do not complain that I didn’t warn you all about the last weeks of the ranking matches, or I might have to beco your teacher in the next academic year if I feel like teaching you all so manners.”
One of the students nervously raised his hand and asked, “Teacher Maria. Can I please know if there be fights without rankings?”
*Sigh* “Yes. They will be every Saturday and Sunday.”
Maira took out a paper and placed it on the table. *Sigh* “I am parched after talking so much. Read this if you want to know more.” She said before leaving the classroom.
“Did she get tired talking to us?”
“Don’t speak badly about teacher Maira or she will teach next year. It would be a nightmare.”
The students stopped complaining when a cold chill ran down their spine.
lissa didn’t let this opportunity slip past her hands. She went over to the teacher’s desk and read the paper for everyone to hear.
“In the Arrival Hall is a no entry door. Behind the guarded door is a teleportation device for an arena island used only for matches.”
“For a team to compete, the team must choose a team leader first. The team leader will need to arrange a random or planned match with a royal soldier invited to attend every Thursday.”
“On Saturday and Sunday, there will be a person appointed by the academy’s headmaster to register the matches instead of the royal soldier. Nevertheless, the arrangent of a random or planned match will remain the sa.”
“Each match will have a ti limit of ten minutes, and if there is no winner until the match ends, the referee supervising the match will use a point system to choose the winner.”
“The referee will rate the two teams based on their creativity, team play, combat, and mannerism. Barbaric or perverted actions will lower the points.”
“However, if the referee deems such uncivilized actions to be over the top, the referee has the approval to stop the match and give the victims the win.”
“Additionally, the referee has the authority to mark if a match was fixed or not. After the board of teachers reviews the match at the end of the month, they will give the final verdict.”
“The sa process will happen if a team cheats by using enchanted equipnt not created by students or purchased in Paradise Island. The sa rule applies to potions. Only potions purchased in Paradise Island can be used.”
“The grand alliance tournant is a respectable event, and only those who participate fairly will have a chance to represent the Lusterfall Kingdom. Thus, if a team gets caught fixing their match or cheating, their chances of participating will greatly decrease.”
lissa placed the paper on the desk and said, “With the rules out of the way, I hope we can place higher than third place like last year.”
“Furthermore, there are rumors that the Selos Kingdom might not participate this academic year.”
“That rumor stems from the rumor of a possible war, and this war-related rumor stems from the Selos Kingdom not participating in the tournant.”
“Confusing, right?”
“I asked my father, the headmaster of the academy. He told I shouldn’t need to worry for now. He told how there isn’t concrete proof at the mont that this might be a rumor created to give the students anxiety and hinder their growth.”
“Regrettably, I can not participate. So do not let the rumors hinder your training.” lissa smiled and winked at the boys. “I hope a team from our class gets to represent the first years.”
A few female students frowned at lissa’s sudden flirty wink, while the male students slightly blushed. Only Vincent and Nick were unaffected.
[Let summarise real quick.]
[The first month was like an introduction. The second month added the Friday history class and the library’s opening. From the third to the fifth month will have ranking matches, and the sixth month will have the tournant, aning fewer students and teachers.]
[Now I wonder. Does it an the last month might be more relaxed for people like us who will not participate?]
-Right! If a team from our class is chosen to represent the first years, then Maria will leave for a couple of weeks or a month.-
Vincent grinned at the thought of spending more ti in the physical lesson and training using Energy Flow. However, he knew Maria’s tutoring would be missed if she went to the tournant.
Lilith nudged Vincent’s shoulder and curiously asked, “Are you grinning at lissa?”
“What?” Vincent shook his head. “I thought how the last month might be more relaxed with fewer teachers.”
*Phew* “I thought you were beginning to like lissa after saving her life.” Lilith said, revealing how she felt anxious at the thought of Vincent smiling at lissa.
“Like her? Hehe.” Vincent chuckled.
“Why like her when I have a goddess sitting beside .”
Lilith blushed when Vincent flirted with her. She moved her gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. Clair and Jun Ye Rim were staring at her as if sothing was on her face.
*Cough* “I want to read a book. Does anyone want to co with us?” Lilith tried to change the subject while averting her gaze.
“I need to brush the excess hair on Pussy...” Clair paused, and her face beca red after realizing it sounded dirty. She used the command and left the classroom.
“I need to send a letter.” Go without .” Nick said. He got up and left the classroom.
Jun Ye Rim didn’t respond. She got up and left as well.
*Sigh* “I guess we need to tell them later how I want our team to surrender when the match starts. I can’t let you get hurt.”
“Really? I thought my husband would gallantly win and offer the victory to . But I like how overprotective of you are. It makes feel like a princess, hehe.”
[Why don’t both of you go to the library instead of flirting?]
“Is Kazumi jealous, perhaps?” Lilith teased after noticing Vincent stop.
[...]
Vincent chuckled and deed it was best not to answer. He got up and extended his hand. “Shall we go, my lady?”
“Am I not a goddess anymore?” She teased.
Soti later, the only elf student in the academy walked alone. After spending so ti gazing at the clouds, she felt the urge to sit.
Jun Ye Rim went to the beautiful flower garden where her eye could only see nature and couples.
*Sigh* “Horny humans everywhere.” She mumbled while traversing the garden.
Jun Ye Rim stopped when she noticed a couple acting suspiciously. Sotis they acted like lovebirds and, at other tis, talked to each other like strangers while looking around as if they were looking for soone.
Jun Ye Rim didn’t care. “Humans are bizarre.” She murmured while heading to the library.
Gusto saw Jun Ye Rim enter. He was so happy to see her that he excitedly said, “Welco, Jun Ye Rim.”
Jun Ye Rim blushed and signaled with her hand to keep quiet. However, the shy elf soon saw Lilith poke her head behind a bookshelf and wave at her.
‘Why did I co here?’ She questioned while having second thoughts. ‘I should’ve stayed on our island and played with Blemish.’
Regardless of how unhappy she looked and acted, Jun Ye Rim approached Lilith and said, “I ca because you begged to co. It’s not like I wanted to co or anything.”
Lilith smiled as she was starting to get used to Jun Ye Rim. “How about I find you a nice book to read?” She asked.
“It’s not like I want to read a book, but now that I am here, I might as well see so words.” Jun Ye Rim peeked at the book in Lilith’s hand and continued, “I hope it has a better title than that.”
Lilith patted her chest and said reassuringly, “Leave it to .”
