Chapter 101: Tournant Comnces
Athan and Avelia sat beside each other on the giant tree's branch where the treehouse was built.
In front of them stood Senior Rishen, who spoke, " As you already know, The Preliminary Round will take place in the virtual world, and after that, the next rounds will take place in the real world. You both don't have to worry about this round as you will definitely pass it because this round is held to weed out the weaker students. "
Athan and Avelia nodded, and after a second, A notification also appeared on their Digibands.
[ The Preliminary Round will start in 3 seconds. Get ready as you will directly face your first opponent. ]

...
Both Athan and Avelia entered the virtual and appeared at different places that looked the sa.
A 50 square ter stage.
[ Athan vs Rejaz ]
[ Rules to win are simple: either defeat the opponent or throw them out of the stage ]
[ Start ]
Just as the Start sounded, Both Athan and Rejaz threw out a spell.
Athan released an Impact Shot of Ice elent while the opponent released a tal spike.
Sensing the energy of the tal spikes, Athan was stunned because it was too weak.
[ The Winner is Athan ]
The opponent couldn't dodge Athan's super fast Impact shot that was augnted with Space ripples and lost.
Rejaz appeared in the real-world and muttered, " Damn, I knew that I wouldn't even pass the preliminarily due to only comprehending my few Intents at Interdiate Level but didn't expect to lose the first match. "
...
Athan was still standing on the battle stage as another notification appeared after The Ai announced his victory.
[ Win seven more matches to pass the preliminaries. ]
[ The next battle starts in 3 seconds. ]

After the countdown hit 0, A person appeared in front of Athan.
[ Athan vs. Teinira ]
[ Ready ]
[ Start ]
Athan released an Impact Shot and defeated his opponent, fast and precise.
[ The Winner is Athan ]
" So this is what he ant by weed out the weaker students. If two powerful students et in the preliminary round and one of them lost then it would be sowhat unfair due to the changes of rewards and rules in this tournant. "
Athan sensed that this student also had an interdiate level of power in his spell, aning that he was in the interdiate stage of the Origin Intent Plane.
Since almost all Origin Intent Plane students have participated in this event, They held this preliminary round to eliminate weaker students.
...
There was no pause as Athan continued to get matched against students who were weaker than him. To be precise, None of the students he fought had comprehended even one Intent at Advanced Level.
After twenty minutes, He finished the last battle with a win and returned to Real World with a notification.
[ Congratulations! You have won in the preliminary round. Wait for a while to get information regarding the next round. ]
Athan opened his eyes and didn't saw Senior Rishen as he had left at so point, and Avelia was still doing her preliminary round.
But After 10 minutes, She was also done with it as she opened her eyes.
After a few seconds, A portal appeared in front of them along with the voice of Senior Rishen, which told them to enter the portal.
Both of them stood up and entered the portal as they arrived at Senior Rishen's place.
" Wait for a few minutes. The next round will be transmitted to all students who have passed after The preliminary rounds are over. "
Indeed, After five minutes, Both Athan and Avelia received a notification.
[ The Next round of the tournant will be held at Tempest Planet. Don't move from your position as we transfer you to the Station in a minute. ]
After reading this, Avelia asked Senior Rishen with a doubt, " Senior, will the transfer protocol work if we are in this room? "
Senior Rishen smiled and said, " Of course it will not work, but don't worry, I'll send you there with my portal. "
Athan asked curiously, " How do they transfer us anyway? "
" The Digiband shows your coordinates to them, and they can teleport you from there as the place you were staying has a big space formation. But it only works inside a big area. For instance, They will only teleport you from one continent to another when it's an ergency because it consus too much energy. Though they can teleport you anywhere in one continent. "
Athan nodded in understanding as he thought, ' So they can determine our position from the Digiband; well, I expected that, but seriously how many continents are there in this ridiculously huge planet? I am still an outer Academy student as I'm still an Origin Intent Plane student. '
Athan knew that only Soul Altar Plane students are considered Inner Academy Students.
" Alright, It's ti. " Saying this, Senior Rishen opened a portal.
He then looked at them and said with a smile, " Good Luck, both of you, and don't push yourself too much. The tournant will be harsh, and it is in the real world, so be careful. "
Athan and Avelia nodded as they entered the portal.
...
The place they arrived was an unfamiliar one, but there were many students around them.
A middle-aged man who wore a plain white loose robe and had long black hair was high up in the sky as he muttered, " Hmmm, so 915 students passed the preliminary round. It's not bad considering only a few new students passed, and most of the students are older students. "
He then flew down before releasing a thundering sound by unknown ans, probably related to Sound Elent, to capture the students' attention.
Everyone looked in the sky after hearing the loud thundering sound.
" Students, I am Teacher Rahpel. A Teleportation Formation is in the process of connecting to the Tempest Planet. It will be ready in a few minutes. "
" anwhile, Let fill you in about the details of the 2nd Round. "
Saying this, He waved his hand a big hologram appeared that displayed a chaotic planet.
" This is the Tempest Planet and also the place where the 2nd round will be held. This planet's environnt is very chaotic, and so the magical beasts that live on this planet. The rules are simple; Kill the beasts and gather their cores. Only Origin Core Stage beasts live on this planet. "
The hologram changed from the planet to a thick wrist band.
" This wrist band has been transported into your Digiband; take it out and wear it. "
The students took out the wristband from the Digiband storage and wore it around their wrist.
Athan also did the sa, and right after he wore it, The Screen in the wristband ca to life as it displayed two stats.
HP: 1000
Cores Points: 0
Seeing that everyone wore the wristband, Teacher Raphel said, " The HP is your Heath Points, and it shows your health. If you are injured, then it will go down. Once it hits 20, you will be injected with a healing serum to recover your health and teleported from there into the Spaceship that will be orbiting around the Planet Tempest. "
" The cores you obtain from killing the beasts need to be stored in this wrist band, and according to the stage of the core, You will gain points. "
Afterward, The hologram disappeared before he adopted a serious expression and spoke, " The most important rule, You can not kill the students of this Academy or other Academies. Always rember that all of your actions are being monitored. The Healing serum only works when your HP hits 20, so before that, If soone deals you a killing blow, you will die; Either by a Magical Beast or An unruly student. In that case, You can manually give up if you feel like you can't go on anymore with just a thought, and you will be teleported to the Orbiting Spaceship. "
" Keep in mind that the punishnt for killing a fellow student either with tricks or directly is worse than death. "
Everyone nodded as they knew that.
Seeing this, Teacher Raphel said with a smile, " The formation is ready, and you will be teleported to the Tempest Planet after 10 seconds. Best of luck, everyone, and I hope to see that our Academy's students take the most places in the top 1000 students as only the Top 1000 students will proceed to the Quarter Finals. "
After a few seconds, The 915 students disappeared with a silver light that lit up under them.
...
Athan didn't spot Avelia around him after appearing on this tempest planet.
" The Atmosphere is terrible, but it can't affect . "
He was standing on a snowy plain with biting cold winds flowing chaotically.
A ding sound appeared, and a hologram lit up from his Wrist band.
[ Leaderboards ]
Hefniel: 20 points
~
~
" Oh, soone already killed a 2nd-grade origin core beast? "
Just as he spoke, The hologram refreshed as he saw a familiar na on top of Hefniel.
Avelia: 50 points.
" Looks like she also encountered a Magical beast right after arriving here. "
*RAWRRRRRRRR....*
Just then, He also heard a roar behind.
Hearing the roar, Athan thought with a smile, ' Looks like my first prey is here. '
