331 End Year Tournant - II
"The First Matches are beginning," The comntator announced as the first match began.
"We have Rank 998 of First Year vs Rank 894 of First Year," The comntator said and the students loudly cheered.
"We have Rank 996...." The comntator announced rest of the duels as well.
The format of this tournant was a simple duel between two students that were seeded against each other by drawing their nas.
Even though luck was involved but the match ups were done considering the Ranks, power and performance of the student. And the matchups were quite fair for the students early on in the Tournant.
But due to the large numbers of student, there were 10 Duels that were happening at the sa ti, and it would remain that way until the numbers beca low.
Only the Students and the Recruiters that wanted even the lowest ranking mber of the World Academy, watched these matches keenly.
At the Fourth Ranker's Section, Jayden Hargrave was sitting in the Rank 1 Room, while observing the tournant.
"Look at the odds against this guy," One guy behind Jayden said as he showed the stats of the Betting Site he opened.
Jayden glanced at the stats, but he was not that surprised.
"It's to be expected, he has reached Rank C- already," Jayden said.
The current prediction of Asher Greville winning was around 97%, which was an insane number that was never seen before.
Usually these numbers would appear if soone like Jayden was fighting soone in the Rank 100, but Asher's predictions were for the Rank 1 spot.
Even though the guy with Jayden wanted to try his luck and bet against Asher, but he knew he would only lose money.
When the Fourth Years returned to the World Academy, the fact Asher beating Blake Cranston starting spreading like fire among the Fourth Years, and so straight up thought that it was lie, but after so ti they got to know that it was actually the truth.
But Jayden wasn't concerned about Asher right now. Right now, his eyes were on soone else.
"When is his match?" Jayden asked.
"It will be probably start once 50 Matches are done, so it will start later in the Day," The guy replied.
"Hmm, keep eyes on him," Jayden said as he stood up.
Most Rankers, even the ones in the Top 50 were not watching the first few matches.
Due to the fact that only the Rank 1 of all three years would decide the outco of Blood Faction vs the Student Council, it didn't matter how the mbers perford anymore.
Both Leonard and Raelyn didn't like this thod, because of the fact that all their investnt in their mbers till now was not worth it anymore.
Each Match on the First Day was only lasted 5 minutes, and if the Students failed to reach a conclusion, the Referee and a Panel of Judge would decide the winner of the match.
Till the count of remaining students reached to 250 for each of the Year, the Top 50 would not participate and it was the privilege they got for maintaining that rank.
Each of the Professor were also sitting in their own rooms.
The Arena was made in such a way that all the Professors had their own rooms, and so of them were not watching the current matches due to the work that was piled up.
It was announced that the Vacations were cancelled and it made the workload on the Professors increase as they needed to prepare for the Next Term in ti.
"Even the ones that are Ranked 700, are quite powerful," One guy said as he was wearing a different uniform that didn't belong to the World Academy.
"If they are this good, I wonder how good are the Rankers," Another said.
While the tournant had started, slowly the Guests were arriving, but the main ones would only arrive on the Second Day except Alfred Raven and Silvus Grandus that were invited for the First Day.
To represent High Council, two of the Seat Holders would always arrive on the First Day. It was an tradition that was followed since World Academy was made.
As the First Round of Duels ended, suddenly the Tournant was paused as the Comntator stopped and the screen changed to show Farnus Calmort who was standing in the Center most area of the Arena.
Where 13 Seats were placed behind him.
Many people got excited to see him as it was Farnus's first appearance since the Calamities were defeated.
The Student cheered loudly as they saw the Principal, and even the Students of the other schools looked at Farnus with admiration, and he deserved it.
Even the students that had just finished the duels, stopped as they looked at Farnus.
"With the First Round done, I am sure the rest of you are looking forward to your matches," Farnus said as his voice resonated in the whole Arena.
"I want to encourage each Student to give their all, and showcase their potential to the whole world," Farnus spoke.
"And to witness your strength, two important guests are arriving," Farnus spoke as the Portals behind opened.
The screen changed to focus on the two Portals.
A Old n wearing an very expensive suit entered first.
"Alfred Raven, the Seat Holder of the Raven Family," Farnus as Alfred ca forward as he looked at the Arena and student started cheering.
"And, the Chairman of the Mage Association, Silvus Grandus," Farnus spoke as Silvus stepped out.
Both of them were quite popular among people due to their position, and many students were excited to see the Seat Holders with their own eyes.
Alfred stepped forward fist as placed his hand on the Stone Pillar in front of his Seat as his Na was recorded in the Record of World Academy, which was a big stone made of runes that recorded all the achievents and major events of World Academy.
And Silvus did the sa, as his na was also recorded.
Not only the End Year Tournant was sothing that could decide these student's future, but if they perford good, so of them has the chances of leaving their nas on that Stone.
"Let's resu the tournant," Farnus said as the screen changed and the Comntator took over.
The students were excited, but the pressure on so increased equally, as not only their families but the whole world was going to watch them.
For so this was the last opportunity to secure a good future, and for so it didn't matter.
But there were people like Jayden, Reeve that were fighting for the pride of their families and it was common in all Elite Families.
"There a lot of talented kids this year," Alfred spoke as Farnus and Silvus took their Seats.
Silvus didn't minded Alfred, but he didn't like him either, as Alfred could be seen as the person that followed the etiquettes quite strictly.
Even people from other Elite Families looked upto Alfred and respected him for his charisma and the way he handled himself.
"There will be a lot of interesting battles," Alfred said as looked at the Stage where the next duel started.
"Look forward to it," Farnus said.
"But you would have to wait for the interesting ones," Farnus replied.
Alfred and Silvus were not only here to observe but also for the announcent of a Special Class that was being made for just four children that were not even 14 yet.
Alfred remained quite as he looked at the arena where the students were sitting, and he didn't see Alia nor Asher present in the Arena.
Farnus was sitting quietly with a small smile on his face, as he was waiting for the tournant to progress a bit more before he made his announcent.
While Silvus and Alfred had arrived, the Grandus Twins were at the Portal Do, in Soran and they were about to enter as Professor Arman himself was there to approve their entry.
Due to security reasons, the Grandus Twins were allowed to enter with Two Elders accompanying them, but it was only until the Tournant was being held.
And their movent inside the World Academy would be restricted as well.
"So big," Jacob said looking at the Portal Do.
"I wonder how the World Academy is lie," Jacob turned towards his Sister who was also looking around.
"Well, you can see for yourself, anwhile I will take to the Teleporting Gates," Arman said looking at the Grandus Twins.
At the sa ti, in the Inner Sector of World Academy,
Asher was ditating in his room, while his ID Bracelet showed the estimated ti for his first match, which was around 7 hours.
Asher opened his eyes as he received a ssage from Arthur, and it was about the Twins arriving at World Academy, in the next 5 hours.
Farnus allowed both Grandus and Greville Twins to enter the World Academy from the Portal Do, and enter the Inner Sector of the World Academy.
But the only condition was that they could only bring at most two guards with them, and no family mbers to maintain the neutral atmosphere in World Academy.
