Chapter 102: Semifinals

Almost half of an hour had passed away ever since the emcee announced the conclusion of the Elimination Round of the six-man team competition.

Kraftvoll and the other representatives of the first grade were already on their way to their seats at the Alstan Stadium. They came running from the stalls that were installed outside the Alstan Stadium.

When they were surveying the stalls outside the stadium, they also decided to go to the stall that one of their classmates had installed so that they can show their support for their classmates.

After running as fast as they can, they finally managed to reach their seats. When they arrived, they saw Teacher Kyleen was sitting there while waiting for them.

When Teacher Kyleen saw all of them, she suddenly spoke. She said to them, "Oh. All of you have finally arrived. Girls, get ready for your next match. Remember what we have discussed earlier, okay?" "Okay, teach!" all the girls replied to their homeroom teacher.

After a few minutes, the emcee and the organizers of the started talking again at his sound-amplifying seishin device.

He said, "It's time for the next round! I implore everyone to take their seats so that we can start the matches any minutes now!"

After a few minutes, the majority of the audience finally returned to their seats so the yearly tournament organizers decided to continue the event without any delay.

"Let's start the semifinal of the six-man team competition! Now, representatives of the first grade and fourth grade, you may come to the arena!" announced the emcee of the yearly tournament.

Princess Kyomi and the other girls stood up after hearing they were called.

"That's us! Let's go!" said Princess Kyomi to the other girl representatives of their class. "Yeah!" they all said in unison as a response to Princess Kyomi.

They walked to the stage with smiles on their faces which was the sign of the little confidence that they had gained.

Princess Kyomi's natural commanding ability made her the leader of the team. All of her teammates respected her in that aspect.

Her decisiveness and quick-wittedness in a battle helped the team of the girls win against Kraftvoll and the others' team. They battle against each other 31 times. The total score for their sparring sessions this past month was 16-15 in favor of the boys.

In those numerous sparrings against Kraftvoll and his sworn brothers, the team of the girls was able to win fifteen times against the boys despite the difference between their seishin cultivation to the elven prince and the most prodigy in their class, Kraftvoll.

The team of the fourth grade entered the arena on the opposite side where Princess Kyomi and the other girls entered. The enemy team was composed of three humans, two dwarfs, and one elf.

Unlike their enemy before, they did not underestimate their enemies before the fight begin. Also, their opponents recognized some of their opponents' identities outside the academy.

The human members of the enemy team recognized that one of their opponents was the daughter of their great king, Princess Kyomi. While the two dwarfs recognized the daughter of their Great Chieftain Thangrorlun, Princess Gloriel.

Even if they were part of the nobilities, offending someone from the royal families would most likely result in a great percussion, not just to them, but also to their family.

If their previous opponents ever learned about this fact, they might lose their minds. After all, they showed a great disrespect when they mocked Princess Kyomi and the others with their mocking before their fight even began.

Both the princesses did not mind any of that because they were not that kind of person who would flaunt out their authority just because someone did something unpleasant to them. They were not that arrogant to pay attention to a small mocking from their schoolmates.

"Now that all of the participants of the match are here. Let the battle begin!" said the emcee. Princess Kyomi and the others suddenly went to their own battle positions.

The two attackers and the recon of the team, Sabina, Belle, and Aredhel, were positioned at the front. While the tank, Princess Gloriel was tasked in protecting their rearguard and support, Princess Kyomi and Adele at her back.

The team of the fourth grade was in a similar position with Princess Kyomi and the other girls' battle positions.

When the cue for the battle's start was heard, Princess Kyomi immediately started chanting a seishin spell. "As the element who represents fear itself, take the sight of those against me, Blackout!"

The Blackout seishin spell that was cast by Princess Kyomi made the members of the fourth grade's team lose their sight.
