From MC's perspective:
The duel opened the eyes of many warriors in the audience. Most of them are not related to the Big 6 academies. Either they are under small organizations, institutions, and clans, or else some of them are rogues.
But for both types of warriors. The duel was unforgettable.
Inside the block,
The White Palace Academy gained more face. From now on the warriors from other academies won't dare to look down upon them.
Earlier they were afraid of the Supreme Elder Marlene. Now they have realized that the White Palace Warriors are not soft powers either.
On the site of the Silver Clouds Academy, Dean Cooper doesn't like where things are going. They have planned to attract everyone's attention by targeting weaker sides.
But the Supreme Elder McCarthy hasn't spoken yet. So he can't make comments against others without his nod.
Time passed in the blink of an eye,
The 10th duel came to an end close to dawn. Then the audience began to leave the stadium. There are 50 more duels to go.
After 5 days, the top 30 will be known. From then duels for the top 15 will be conducted. Later, the duels for the top 6 will be held.
The organizers expected to conduct more duels today. Initially, they thought about conducting 20 duels per day.
But something else happened in the end. They were able to conduct 10 duels. The people from the 6 academies are not surprised. They have brought together talented warriors with them.
So each duel has become more interesting. There is something to learn for others. The academy people didn't complain. They left with their students.
20 minutes later,
The Viper Academy team came back to their White Mansion. But everyone's faces were dull. This was just the 1st day of the tournament. They got one loss.
Fortunately, after the first defeat. The Viper Academy's name didn't come in the next matchups. It was a pure coincidence. But tomorrow won't be the same.
There is a chance for them to have more duels tomorrow.
Dean Rebecca was lost in some other thoughts. After everyone went to their room. She contacted Zack. She asked him to arrive before the dinner. She has something to ask.
On the other hand, I went to take a bath after ending the call. More than her I wanted to know what happened.
20 minutes later,
I changed into casual clothes. Then I contacted Jonathan to see him. Jonathan, who was monitoring the movements of the 2 Supreme Elders, returned to the white mansion.
When Jonathan appeared in my room. He casually sat on the chair.
Seeing that I sat opposite him and asked, "What happened to the Supreme Elder of the Silver Clouds Academy?"
Hearing that Jonathan was not surprised. He reiterated what happened at the scene.
A few minutes later,
I sighed inwardly. As expected Jonathan has shut the mouth of the Supreme Elder.
Suddenly, I thought of something.
"Are there any people from the Hunter League who have come?" I asked.
Jonathan shook his head before saying, "There is no threat here. You can practice peacefully. "
I revealed a bitter smile on my face. I'm conscious of not wasting the lightning essence unnecessarily. But I don't know what I'm going to do as the duel proceeds further.
Jonathan saw through Zack's worries. He has checked the terrain surrounding this place. There is no place where the lightning can be seen. It's not even the rainy season yet.
"Young master, Zack. I know that year-end competition is important for you. But don't worry, the Viper Academy won't face any problems in the future. "
"You can let go of this unnecessary burden and be practical. No lightning resource can be found in this place," Jonathan said bitterly.
"I know," I replied without showing much expression on my face.
Then after speaking for a few more minutes. Jonathan disappeared from the spot. It Looked like he had found his accommodation.
After pushing down these thoughts, I began to do other work.
Meanwhile,
The Silver Clouds Academy arrived at their place as well. Dean Cooper is waiting to speak to the Supreme Elder. When everyone was gone. He opened the topic.
He is looking at the Supreme Elder McCarthy who was sitting on the sofa. What is weird is that he is still wearing the full mask on his face.
"Supreme elder, what happened?"
*We had planned to target the Viper Academy earlier. But you remained silent after that," he asked.
Supreme Elder McCarthy's eyes flickered. Before replying to him, he spread his mental power to see anyone around.
Especially he doesn't want the old woman Marlene to know about his embarrassing incident. He doesn't intend to reveal it to others.
The next second, he turned towards Cooper and replied, "We are not going to target the Viper Academy anymore. "
His words fell like a thunderclap in Cooper's ears. He remained stunned on the spot. It took him a few seconds to accept the reality.
He is looking at the Supreme Elder with a strange gaze. "What about all those bullshit discussions?" He said in his heart. Before coming here they have spent more time in discussion.
At that time the Supreme Elder was motivated and confident enough to face other Supreme Elders. But he changed his stance all of a sudden.
Then he thought of a scene earlier where the Supreme Elder walked out of the block for some time. His behavior changed after his return.
"Did he face any trouble?" Cooper said in his heart.
"Sigh"
McCarthy let out a sigh. He doesn't want the dean of the academy to misunderstand him.
"I met someone from the federation. The official came on behalf of the Viper Academy," He said. Though he doesn't know the identity of the person who slapped him.
But he believes only the federation behind the Viper Academy has such a powerhouse.
"Federation officials," Cooper said, shocked to the core. Then a realization occurred to him. The federation is a strong backer of the Viper Academy. They can't offend them.
