Chapter 57: Announcement

Kraftvoll was still asleep after he spent his whole night practicing his seishin cultivation until someone knocked at the door of his room very loudly.

"Kraftvoll! The time for the homeroom session is near. Let's go together!" It was Godwin who was at Kraftvoll's room's door.

Ever since the two of them became sworn brothers, they were going to their homeroom together every day on weekdays.

Kraftvoll woke up after hearing Godwin's calls and knocks at his door.

'Crap! I overslept!' Kraftvoll thought to himself after going up very quickly.

"Just wait a minute, Godwin! I gonna be finished in a minute." Kraftvoll shouted in response to Godwin's call at his door.

'Did he stay late at night?' Godwin wondered to himself because usually, Kraftvoll was already finished his preparations when he was knocking at his door at this time.

After a few minutes, Kraftvoll finished his morning preparation and he finally went to Godwin.

"Hurry up! We're gonna be late! You know the temper of Teacher Kyleen about tardiness. She would eat us alive. Let's run!" said Godwin

"Okay!" said Kraftvoll in response.

Kraftvoll and Godwin rushed toward the classroom.

A few minutes later, they finally reached their classroom but unfortunately, Teacher Kyleen was already there.

'Shit!' Kraftvoll cursed in his mind.

'We're toast!' Godwin mumbled to himself.

When Teacher Kyleen saw these two kids, her eyes suddenly turned so evil in their eyes. "YOU. TWO." said Teacher Kyleen to her two students which gave them shiver in their spines.

"Hieeekk! We're so sorry, Teach!" said Kraftvoll and Godwin in unison.

Suddenly, Teacher Kyleen's face turned into her usual calm face. "Well, I will let this slide for now. But, don't be late again, okay?"

"Okay, we will never be late again, teach!" said the two in unison.

Teacher Kyleen nodded in response so Kraftvoll and Godwin finally went to their seats.

"Lucky!" Godwin whispered to Kraftvoll.

Teacher Kyleen continued to what she's been saying before Kraftvoll and Godwin interrupted her by entering late.

"As I was saying earlier, the yearly tournament of the Verrater Academy is near. It's gonna be held next month so we only have a month worth of preparation."

"Is this gonna be a team tournament or a solo tournament?" asked by one of Kraftvoll's classmate that was seated on the back.

"About that, there's gonna be multiple tournaments. There is a competition that is free for everyone to join. That's the competition of the Battle Royale. The second tournament is a three-man team competition. While the last part of the tournament is a six-man team competition."

"Teach, what do you mean by battle royale?" asked Belle.

"Oh, that's a tournament where multiple seishin combatants fight until there is only one man standing. You all can join that if you want. That's the most joyous part of the yearly tournament." said Teacher in response to Belle's inquiry.

Princess Kyomi raised her right hand so that she can ask a question to her teacher, "Teach. What about the other two tournaments? Are you the one that's going to pick the contestants?"

"Yes. I'm gonna be the one who will choose those. We're gonna held a little tournament ourselves starting in two days' time so prepare yourselves. Only those who proved themselves can join those team tournaments. I will choose the representatives based on your performance and talent." said Teacher Kyleen in response.

"We will not be having any sparring session this day, we're gonna be drawing lots for the selection tournament. I'll prepare the draw so wait for me here," said Teacher Kyleen before exiting the room.

"Are you going to enter the battle royale?" asked Godwin to Kraftvoll.

"Of course! That's gonna be an awesome experience for me!" said Kraftvoll in confidence.

"Our seniors are also going to enter that battle royale. Are you really sure?" Godwin inquired.

"Yes! Even if you lose, you'll gain some valuable experience so it is only advantageous to join," said Kraftvoll in response.

"Well, you're right. Alright, I'm gonna join too!" said Godwin.

He was doubting himself earlier because he lacked the confidence to fight his mighty seniors. But when he saw Kraftvoll's confidence in entering the Battle Royale, it gave him some self-confidence.

Later on, Teacher Kyleen entered the room and started the draw of lots.
