Champion

Soon the smoke and dust dissipated and it reveals William who was standing in the center of the stage with the three unconscious body of the participants scattered in the corner of the stage.

The stage was quite before they burst out in screamed.

"It can't be..." Kimie muttered in disbelief.

"I already said it to you once, William is not to be underestimate" James said to Kimie. He was happy that William became the champion of this tournament.

Alice was happy that William became the champion but for an unknown reason she felt that she was getting far from William. She felt complicated in her heart.

"This is unexpected, William defeated all the participants and became the champion of this tournament!!" The announcer said in excitement.

"From the Hebrei academy....."

"WILLIAM HAMPERSOOOOOOON!!!" The announcer shouted loudly.

""WILLIAM!!""

""WILLIAM!!""

""WILLIAM!!""

The audience screamed William's name in chorus.

William just stood there in the stage as he looked at the audience that was shouting his name.

"Brother..." Claire muttered while looking at her brother. She covered her mouth with her hand and she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down to her cheeks.

Her brother that was mocked because of his low level is now a champion that could rival the genius of this country. No, he defeated those genius as he was crowned the champion of this tournament.

Toudo stood up from his seat. She covered her mouth using her hand while watching William in the stage.

'I didn't think that you will be the one who fulfill dean's dream' She thought as her eyes get watery.

William slowly walked out from the stage. He went back to the waiting room and took some rest. There's still 30 minutes left before the awards giving that's why he didn't left immediately after becoming a champion.

He lay down in the sofa while waiting for the award ceremony. He slowly closed his eyes as he tried to remember the demon invasion.

"What am I doing there's only a few months left before that day comes" William thought. He will train Claire once more after this day he need her to become stronger so that she could defend herself against the demons.

Year 9913, 1st day of the second month. Exactly 12 midnight the demons will launched an attack in every part of the world.

The nothern continent and southern continent will suffer the most from the invasion.

The western continent didn't take that much damage like the north and south as the demons headquarters is in the eastern continent.

While a few city was destroyed in central plains due to surprised attack. If the various organization in the central plains know that the demon will launched an attack perhaps the demons army will turned to ashes before they landed on the ground. There are many powerful expert that live in the central plains. It's not easy to invade with just some legendary rank demon in the army.

Currently, the safest place before the gods descend was the central plains. But it's too far from here in southern continent. Even if William ride an airship he still need atleast three months to arrived there without stopping.

'Hmm?! It seems that there's something wrong' William thought as his brows knitted together.

"If I'm not wrong all the demon army that invade the various kingdoms and country have atleast 2 or 3 legendary rank demon." William muttered as he put his hand in his chin.

"But clearly that day when the demon attack this city there's not a single legendary rank in the demon." William muttered. It's easy to discern the legendary rank in the demons army. The demons don't conceal their auras. One could easily felt the difference between the legendary demon and a mortal demon.

'Some hidden expert was hiding inside this city and that expert killed the legendary demon before he/she escape.' William thought.

*****

William became the champion of this tournament. No one expected this outcome from the start, a lot of people thought he would be eliminated in the first round but he show his power and dominated this tournament.

William walked to the stage under the gazes of the people watching the tournament. Many people looked at him in astonishment and admiration.

Alice looked at him with fervent gazed.

James said, "I didn't think that he would really become the champion."

"You didn't believe in your friend brother." Sisi said to James.

"Brother has grown up" Claire said.

Kimie looked dumbfounded. She couldn't process how William won the tournament.

WILLIAM!! WILLIAM!!

The audience shouted his name loudly.

William ignore them and he instead looked at the semi transparent screen in front of him.

{You've gained 800 points for completing the quest "became a champion"}

He looked at his points.

Point(s): 2,057

'For now I should try to increased the level of my current skill than buying new one' William thought. With the help of the quest function he accumulated a lot of points compare to the last time he was in this level. He already upgrade his Undying body to level 2 and he have a lot of skill in his sleeve. He was clearly stronger this time compare to the last time he was in this level.

There's only four months left before the start of the demon invasion. In this four months he would try to raised his sister's level as high as he can. In the past month he only teached his sister the basic of survival skills and fighting skill. It's very important to learn the fighting skill as this will decide to outcome of a battle. If the two fighters have the same level fight their fighting skill or battle prowess will decide the battle.

He teached his sister the basic swords stance, hand to hand combat, mana control, and many other style she need. Now he will focus on increasing her level.

A person needs to raised his mana capacity in the mortal rank. One would need to refine his/her body to hold more mana, in other worlds people called this mortal shredding realm. In his case he didn't need to refine his body, with the help of the system he just need to allocated his stat points to increased his body constitution, strength, speed, and mana capacity.

A person need to raised his mana capacity to the limits of mortal body and that is 500 mana points. 500 mana points is the limit of the mortal body, the level 99 mortal rank. Some genius had exceeded the limits have 600-800 mana points before they even managed to advanced to become a legendary powerhouse.

While William was thinking this the dean of the Hebrei academy was giving his speech to the crowd.

William was thinking if he should go to the central plains or not. He was hundreds of thousands kilometers away from the central plains. It would take atleast 3 months just to travel from here to central plains if he travel alone. If he travel using this world transportation it would take longer as the airship would stop in many city. The central plains was the safest place during the war in its earliest place. The legendary demon wouldn't be able to run amok in the central plains. A lot of powerhouse in this world lived in the central plains. The southern continent and the northern continent will became the battlefield during the war.

'I should stop worrying for now I still have 4 months of time left, and based on my memories there's no legendary demon will attack this city.' William thought. If his memories is really true then he could handle it if there's really no legendary demon.

****

The dean speech took half an hour of time before he finished.

William met with his friends.

"Congratulation brother!!" Claire his sister greeted him enthusiastically.

William smiled at her gently and patted her head.

"Mou~ I told you stop patting me when there's many people." Claire held his hand to stop him patting her head.

James, Sisi, and Alice also congratulate him for becoming the champion.

"Alright, we will celebrate this in our house!!" Claire said excitedly. She couldn't believed her brother becoming a champion in the past other people mock him for being a level 1 mortal.

William just smile and let her do what she want.

He noticed something. He turned his head left and right before asking, "by the way, where's Claster?"

"Oh?! You're right, she's here with us watching the battle." James said.

"Wait, I'm going to check if she's in the toilet" Claire said then she immediately went to toilet to find Claster.

After a few minutes Claire came back with a gloomy expression.

"What's wrong?" William asked her.

"Claster wasn't in the toilet" Claire said.

William frown as he had a bad feeling about this. He released his mana sense and scan the whole arena.

"She's not here" William said in a low voice.

"Maybe, she went back" James said.

"No, she wouldn't do that, if she really went back she would first ask us." William said.

"Let's split up and find her" Sisi gave an idea.

William pondered for a while before he nodded.

The group split up and went to find Claster. Unfortunately after an hour they couldn't find Claster even in their house.

****

William was standing alone in front of the wall near the south gate of the Hebrei city. This was only five meters tall and it's easy to climb over it. Even when he was a level 1 he could already climb over this wall to hunt some monster.

He already found traces of Claster and it went over this wall. In other words the culprit already left the city with Claster. The security of this small city is really low, the guards was only at level 50+.

He went back first to find James and others.

****

"I found some traces and she went outside the town." William said to them.

"Eh?! Why did she leave the city?" Claire asked her brother. She was worried about Coaster's well being.

"I suspect someone kidnapped her as I discover other footprints." William paused before he continue, "just go home for now, I will go and find out what's really happening."

"No, brother I also want to find her." Claire said loudly.

William shook his head and said, "no, it's dangerous if you go with me"

"But brother-"

"I already said no" William refused.

"But-" before she could finish her words she loose consciousness.

William held her before she fell down. He turned his head to James and Alice who was looking at him.

"I'll leave her to you" William said to Alice.

Alice reluctantly nodded her head. She too want to follow him but she knows that she don't have enough strength.

After he passed Claire to her William turned around and left.

James looked at Alice and asked, "Is that really okay?"

Alice didn't answer him she just looked at the place where William disappeared.
