A blue sky full of vibrance, the shouts of the crowd, the feeling of excitement. Finally, it's the final exams.

"Okay my dear audiences, please take your seats, the tournament is about to start. I'm your emcee for this year's tournament, my name is Yuna.

"Tauriel, look at the boobs of the emcee."

"S. . .Scorpio,t. .those things are giants!!"

"I know right? you know, I wouldn't mind getting choked to death by those huge things hehe."

"M. .Me too hehe*blushes*"

*SMACK!*

*SMACK!*

"What were you to talking about?"*smiles*

"Oh, here's our flat buddy, libra."

*pissed* "Who are you calling flat buddy!!?"

*SLAM!*

*SLAM!*

"O. . .Ouch"

"O. . .Ouch"

"Okay everyone before we start this tournament let's introduce first the 3 universities and the 3 special guests of the tournament!"

"First is the Lamiel university which has the students, William and keira who are currently one of the strongest students in the tower!"

"The second is Aria university who houses the tower's strongest and the most beautiful student in the tower, Mira Enrai, from the branch family of one of the 7 royal families in the tower, the Lu ceed household."

"And the last is Le kradia university which has the only student who was born with the powers of Ophiuchus, the cursed zodiac, Serie."

"So, that's the student who received that traitor's powers huh?"

"Don't worry scorpio, she's only a student, I'm sure she's different from that traitor."

"Libra. . ."

After the universities were introduced, the 3 stepped up to the Arena for the opening ceremony.

"And now, time to introduce our special guests!! I'm sure most of you will be surprised if you find out who these three is."

"First, the God of Gaia, the Taurus, Tauriel Enrai!"

Taurus came out behind the curtains, and jumped down to the arena in front of the students gathered there.

"𝘞𝘰𝘸, 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘈 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘻𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘤 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴!"

"Second, the God of lightning, the Scorpio, Helias Scorpio!. . . .umm, Scorpio?, you can come out now."

"Hey, where are you looking at? I'm already here at the bottom!"

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭!? 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘥!?"

"𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦.

"And lastly, the Goddess of Balance, the Libra, Liberia Ashleia!"

Libra, came out behind the curtains and elegantly walked down slowly on the stairs.

"𝘞𝘰𝘸, 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢?"

"𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭."

"𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳."

"Now that the introductions is over, let's move on to the opening ceremony. Miss Libra, you may choose 3 students to lead the opening ceremony with you."

"Then I'll be choosing, William, Mira, and serie. These three."

"Understood. Now, time for the opening ceremony."

The ceremony lasted for half an hour. After the ceremony finished the whole arena was filled with shouts of excitement.

"Now that the ceremony is finished, we will now commence the first battle. The first battle will be, Eliminations!"

[The rules are simple, just reduce the numbers of 100,000 students as low as you can in just 1 hour. knocking out a student will give you 1 point. In this battle, you are only allowed to use star enhancement and 8th - 10th tier spells, if you use any other spells or skills, you'll be instantly disqualified. Based on the points that you get in this battle you will be placed in a division, if the battle ends and you only have 0 -14 points you'll be automatically disqualified, if you knock out a student you can get all of that student's points.

15 - 25 points = Low tier Division

26 - 50 points = Mid tier Division

51+ points = High tier Division

This is a battle royale, everyone is your enemy.]

"10 minutes before the battle starts, prepare yourselves, If you want to, you can make a team with your friends that you can trust, and you can also Solo the whole battle if you think you got what it takes. The arena type will be a huge jungle, so be careful of your surroundings."

"𝘏𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘩𝘢, 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘰 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦?"

"Only 3 minutes remain everyone!! it looks like everyone has formed their team, good!. . . Oh wait, there are still two students on the Solo, their names are. . . . Mira Enrai and. . ."

"What, Mira is going for solo?!"

"Well, she's the strongest student here so I understand if she goes for solo."

"Well, mira is one thing, but who's the other one who's going for solo?"

". . .Nox Eria Miel."

"𝘞𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?"

"𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘓𝘦 𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘢'𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘪𝘴. . .3"

"𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘭?"

"Teacher teressa, I didn't know that our university had a useless student like him besides Caliel, do you know anything about that child?"

"No headmaster alex, it's my first time hearing that student's name."

*Meanwhile on the seats of the special guests*

"Hey Tauriel, where do you think the student named Caliel is?"

"The powerless student? I don't know, try asking Libra."

"I asked Libra already earlier, She doesn't know either."

"𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶?"

. .

"Student Nox, it says here that you're the weakest student at Le Kradia university, are you sure that you're going for Solo?"

". . . ."

"Oh, I know! what if you and Mira enrai form a team? won't it be easier that way?"

The students were surprised by what the emcee suggested.

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵!!? 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘮!?"

"𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘳."

"How about it Mira? do you want to do it?"

Mira glanced over to Nox who is just leaning on the wall with his eyes closed.

"𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘺? 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮. . . 𝘰𝘬, 𝘐 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥."

"Have you decided Mira?"

". . . I accept."

"Okay, it's official then!"

The students was shocked by Mira's response.

"𝘏. . .𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦!?"

"𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘮𝘦?"

"𝘈 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘪𝘳𝘢?!"

"In one condition. . ."

Everyone was silenced when they heard Mira.

"What is it?"

"I will only fight with him as a team, but we will earn points as individuals."

". . .Condition accepted, how about you Student Nox? do you agree to all of these?"

*nods*

"Okay then, let's start the countdown!!"

"10. . .9. . .8. . .7. . .6. . .5. . .4. . .3. . .2. . .1!! BATTLE START!!"

The plain arena immediately changed into a green jungle, the players are teleported to their starting locations.

Nox and Mira Immediately ran fastly to knock out enemies. Even though it's their first time meeting, their movements are perfectly in sync. Mira was surprised that a low ranked student like him can keep up with the strongest student.

"𝘐𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 3? 𝘏𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰'𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 2000."

"Hey, your name is Nox right?"

"yup."

"How can you keep up with me with that power level? don't tell me you've been hiding it all your life?"

"You can think of it that way."

"Ohh, ok '𝘚𝘰 𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘩𝘶𝘩?'. T. .Then, what about your zodia-"

Nox grabbed mira's hand and pulled her out of the way of the enemy's arrow. Nox's arm was wrapped around Mira to protect her.

"Focus on fighting, it would be troublesome if you got disqualified here."

*blushes* "W. . .what are you doing let me go!"

". . . ."

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Mira and the low leveled trash. I thought you were just some ordinary students, but I didn't think it would be the two of you Hahaha."

"tskk, keira."

"Hey Mira. . ."

"What is it?"

"Can I wipe out these 6?"

"What are you saying!? we need to team up if we want to beat this team!"

"You're already tired, we have knocked out more than 90 students, so just take a rest and watch the show."

Mira just stared at Nox with a blushed face.

"O. . .okay"

"𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘺. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰, 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴."

"Just sit right there and wait for me."

"What!? A trash like you is going to take us on alone!? Hahaha are you mocking us right now?"

"Come."

"*grit* 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩."

"Sai, roast that trash."

'6TH TIER STAR ENHANCEMENT!, GAUNTLETS OF FLAME!'

"kraaaaaaaa!!!!"

Sai's punch was about to hit Nox, but he blocked it easily.

"W. . .What!? how can a trash like you block that kind of skill!?"

Nox just smiled a little and made his counter attack while holding Sai's hands.

'THUNDER BLAST'

A beam of lightning came out of Nox's hands and shattered Sai's gauntlets easily. Followed by a punch infused with lightning which sent Sai flying to the borders of the arena and rendering him unconscious.

Keira was shocked by what Nox showed her.

"𝘞. . .𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵!? 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘮'𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘫. .𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯!?"

Mira was astounded by what she just witnessed, at that time she already realized who the strongest student in the arena is.

"𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯, 𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵."
