After that, the school Dean talks to both of them, because he intends to make Ashtria's grandfather the coach for both of them. The Dean even said that he is willing to pay her grandfather an appropriate amount of money for coaching.
There's still one month before the big competition, so the two of them took a break for two days. After that, Ashtria's Grandfather started to coach them at their school every day even at weekends.
There Raile finally experienced the most tense and hard, kind of study he had, he also experiences Grandfather Famonte's wrath. Grandfather Famonte always scolded them saying that they have to win because it is his pride as their coach. After all Famonte Andrico was the first ever winner of AHSC.
He let the two of them read all the books he chose himself to make their brains sharper. Then he will always ask the two of them to answer random questions he will ask at random times. He also taught them how to answer more accurately with understandable but accurate words.
They train their minds day by day, and each day they become sharper to answer Grandpa Famonte's challenging questions.
The month eventually ends, after the mind-blowing training the two of them finally got some rest, and now it's already three days before the competition.
The two already packed their belongings, ready to head to the location where the competition will take place. The same as Grandpa Famonte, as he was specially invited to attend the competition. He was excited as he already packed his belongings one week ago.
When the morning comes the three meet at school.
Grandfather Famonte together with Teacher Ann, Ashtria, and Raile departs from their school and head to the County of Green Rock, in Green Town. That's the location of the competition.
There's a huge stadium there that can accommodate from five to seven hundred people.
The school provides the budget for their daily necessities, which includes the place where the three would stay. Green Town is much more bigger than any other town in Green Rock County, because of its reputation as the center of City Z.
Many hotels are already fully booked and that's because of this grand competition. Luckily, they already booked their rooms online before all of the hotels get fully occupied. The three all go to their respective rooms at La Alto Hotel, Ashtria, and her grandfather shared a room, while Raile and Teacher Ann shared their room.
The day passed by, and the competition will start today, Monday.
It's only seven in the morning but all of the staff of AHSC are already inside the stadium at Green Town and all of them are occupied with their tasks looking busy.
All of the staff made sure that all of the preparations is ready. They make sure that no mistakes will occur, that's because of the many numbers of big shots that will come today because of this competition.
The competition will start at eight in the morning the current time is already seven o'clock so there is only one hour before the competition starts.
The whole of City Z is filled with many famous Schools, but in every AHSC there is only a total of twenty Schools who were competing. All of these particular Schools were Schools that were included as the top twenty ranked Schools in the City of Z. These Schools had their very own prestigious histories, some are private then some are public Schools.
There are five public schools included but never underestimate them because some of their student representatives were included on the ranking list of top students of City Z.
All of the student representatives of their schools are of course trained for this competition.
In the last AHSC, three years ago, the winner of the AHSC came from the top One-ranked School in City Z, it is the Jhon Yulue Private High School which is located here in Green Rock County.
That is also the reason why the competition is currently held here. Because their student was the winner of the last competition, they are the Host School for today's competition.
Among City Z's top Ten-ranked Schools, Dela Amare Highschool was ranked five. That's because, at the last AHSC competition, this School got fifth place making them ranked fifth on the list.
...
Ashtria and Raile arrived at the entrance of the big Stadium.
There are already many people inside, and it looks like all of the representatives from the twenty Schools are already here.
Ashtria looks at her surroundings, she can see so many students with different kinds of School uniforms with different designs. The other School's uniform design was too eye-catching as if they want to show off their wealth.
Among all of them, their School, Dela Amare Highschool has the simplest design. Their uniform is consisting the colors of sky blue and white, for the girls' uniform design they have a sky blue and white colored checkered skirt. The same for the bowknot, then a white long sleeves blouse, black shoes, and knee-length white socks.
For the boys, their pants are the same color as the girl's skirts and it is the same checkered design. The same for their necktie, a long sleeves polo, black shoes, and then white socks.
They only wear their simplest summer uniform for this contest.
The two continued to walk, but someone suddenly bumps into Ashtria. She tried to avoid her but her action is a bit late. It is a girl with a uniform that looks like one from an expensive private High School.
She's talking to her companion while walking. The milk tea she was holding nearly spilled but luckily her companion quickly holds her wrist to stop it from spilling.
"Gosh, are numb? Why aren't you looking where you walking." her companion said rudely.
They're the ones whose not looking while walking because Ashtria saw the two of them talking at each other while walking. The two are busy and not looking their way at all. Now they even blame Ashtria and also insult her by calling her numb.
"Excuse me, but you and your friend was the one who was not looking where you walking, Ashtria even tried to avoid bumping into your friend's shoulder but they still collide." Raile reasoned out with a reasonable tone.
While he's speaking you can feel the scholarly aura from him, but you can also feel his superior aura because of being a Student Council's President for almost two years.
The girl's face turn sour but she can't refute it, because of Raile's aura, "I'm sorry for my friends' rudeness, it's my fault so I'm sorry." the girl with the milk tea spoke.
Ashtria looks at her, she looks like a polite girl, "It's okay it's an accident." she said to her and smiled slightly in respect, Ashtria then look at the other girl beside her.
"But please refrain from insulting others for being numb because sometimes you don't know that you are the numb one."
The girl flinches, Ashtria is looking straight into her eyes. Seeing Ashtria's cold raven-black eyes, she can't help but avert her eyes, she can feel the strong aura Ashtria emits.
...
All of the other students have watched this little commotion.
They were all shocked because of the extraordinary aura of these students, the two of them looks educated. Looking at the two standing side by side, both of them look like well-educated children from well-respected families. Now all of the students including the other people in the crowds are curious about the identity of these two.
Looks like the All High School Competition this year will be much more exciting than before, all eyes were full of excitement and curiosity because of this small scene.
Some other contestants who also saw the scene felt quite curious, but some didn't mind it at all, and some just don't care at all.
But among these people who watched the scene, are well-known personalities, some got interested because of the extraordinary aura of these two students.
When the clock comes to seven-thirty all of the people are now inside the stadium including all of the contestants, and all of them are now ready.
Ashtria and Raile are already sitting in their respective seats, in their side, the banner of their school is placed.
The AHSC starts with a ceremony, and after that, the host for today's event will call all the important persons invited one by one.
