Chapter 168: The So-Called Competition

The so-called Seven Nations Competition, or more officially, the Continental Seven Nations Athletic Games. In the past, to maintain hard-earned peace, it was agreed among the seven nations that on the second weekend of every May, a sports competition would be held for students from the various Dragon Knight Academies. The term 'students' applies to any students up to and including those in the sixth grade. Students in the seventh grade and above are considered to be active-duty military and therefore no longer count as students.

Despite its name being the Athletic Games, most people simply call it the Seven Nations Competition. There are even those who prefer to call it the Seven Nations War.

Among the seven nations, apart from the Blue Dragon Empire, which declared themselves permanently neutral many years ago, the remaining six nations all have a flurry of small and large disagreements amongst each other.
