The days of drinking away ca to a pass and the ti to begin the tournant between the different academies rolled over. It was now ti to go out and break a leg for everyone.
But for us, especially, it was ti to go and fight for the chalice that would give us a strange power-up.
For one, I was seeing it as sothing else other than a simple competition for a chalice. That's right.
It was my chance for revenge against them for the loss I had faced in the Elysium Tower.
The seven academies all gathered together on the beach in the Academy City. A grand stage had been set up for the events and students in each of their costus stood together.
The faculty moved around like hounds and guards while lights and music blared on full volu from the side. Moreover, the orb that the academy had developed in order to take a look at the people as they continued their journeys up the dungeons, were now modified and were being carried around by drones.
With the scent of the beach as my hit, I took in a sharp breath and looked up at the stage.
The chiefs of each academy sat there on the stage, and the emcee was soone not belonging to any of them.
Lushan, the principal of the Syncretic Academy and the Master of the Elysium Tower.
Volkash Academy and the master of the Magemmar Dungeon.
Poseidon Academy and the master of Atlantis Dungeon.
Terra-cotta Academy and the master of the Gaia Dungeon.
Boreas Academy and the master of the Hyperboarea Dungeon.
Silvanus Academy and the master of the Amazon Dungeon.
And lastly.
Tar Academy and the master of the Beasta Dungeon.
This was the perfect lineup of academies.
The emcee held the mic and began swerving around, ready to start the speech. Since he wasn't a principal, I didn't tune him out by instinct and the man began speaking.
"Starting now, we begin the weeklong event of the Academy competitions."
Weeklong….
Fucking weeklong….
Ok that didn't an the world's end, it was alright.
"To end the competition on the seventh day will be the team battle Royale all over the city! The mbers will have to be chosen by the school's faculty so make sure you register quickly!"
It just got worse.
"And to start things off! We'll begin with speeches from all seven teachers."
I snapped my fingers.
"Bro what the fuck, are you drinking?"
"Hey, can I have so?"
Out popped a bottle of alcohol.
Downed it in a go.
"Spirits, let's fuck off."
This was the worst.

Lily was looking around the venue with her eyes narrowed down. The speeches were about to end and it was go ti, she needed to set her young master straight, and while she was at it, she was also going to steal him from that random duchy girl.
So what if no one else in the world rembers you? Skill issue.
There was no coming in Lily's way as her only focus was on taking things for herself.
"Miss Lily, you should lay for today don't you think?"
"There's no better ti than now, Lady Sophia." Lily then bit her tongue and turned around with a scowl. "Or don't tell … you're gunning for him too."
"I am only interested in his status, strength, and money."
"Ah, sa old lady Sophia then. No problems."
Lily bit her lips again and started looking around. For the next entire week, the whole city was free ga for everyone.
Just like the faction festival, people were going to do their best to make money and get as much as they can. It was a win-win situation for everyone, including people looking to seduce.
Now, just to find her young master.
Lily continued looking around, all the speeches almost coming to an end.
She would snag her young master right here and fuck off with him. No one in their way. He couldn't refuse anyway, he had told her to always be by his side, he couldn't go back on his own words now. Not anymore, that wasn't allowed.
The speeches ca to an end and the people started moving out of the venue. The events were about to start soon, she had to make sure that she got her young master in her hands before that could happen.
Lily kept looking, but instead of her young master, she found soone else.
Amongst the crowds moving out, a certain green-haired lady was talking with a purple-haired one.
Adelia was sticking to Dawn's back and pushing her on.
Lily rembered. This old cougar whore was aiming for her young master too.
She had more to worry about than just that bitch Noa. Unfortunately for all of them, they weren't in any competition with Lethe yet, but that was what they were out to change.
Reconnaissance was necessary. With Sophia in tow, she slowly moved away from the group and made her way into the crowds, her ears perked up to listen to whatever bullshit that old lady would be spouting.
And as she thought.
Bullshit it was.
"You have to find Eugene Hall! Attack when the ti is ripe."
"He's not even here. How do you think I'll get him?"
Not here?
That was rich.
Lily was sure he had co along.
Her young master had disappeared! Anyone could attack now!
Lily looked everywhere again, though not in search of her young master.
"That bitch…"
The white-haired bitch was gone.
***
"Eugene Hall, what are you doing here in the skies?"
"!?" I spoke, my head woozy. I didn't even realize I had co to the upper islands. "I am just…. stargazing."
"It's early in the day."
"Fishing."
"The clouds? You are drunk, aren't you? I can tell because I am your teacher."
"Drink!? ! No I am a human.. HAHAAHAHA"
Miss Rio slapped her head and shook it as well.
How could I of all people be drunk from a single go? Not like there was soone that wanted to be drunk…
Oh….
Oh shit…
Maybe I was drunk. But not from drinking…
