Teenagers from all over the six Kingdoms, as well as the adjacent lands, made their way to Barbatos Academy in order to join the tournament whose name had spread far and wide.
It was none other than the Lionheart's Tournament.
The rewards for the tournament were simply too good, that even those above the age of twenty were tempted to join. Unfortunately, an age limit was set, and only those who were aged twenty-two or below were allowed to participate in the tournament.
"Is he already here?" Nero asked one of his subordinates who was also a student in Barbatos Academy.
"I saw him walking hand in hand with Lady Iris yesterday in the gardens," a blonde-haired boy said in a flattering tone. "I don't know if he registered in the tournament or not, but I didn't see his name in the official roster."
"Understood," Nero replied. "Continue to keep your eyes and ears open. I will give you your rewards in Elysium."
"Thank you very much!"
