From MC's perspective:
After having dinner, I came back to my room. Then I changed to comfort clothes before deciding to cultivate.
All of a sudden, something struck my mind. Back in the academy, I have personal training room. Where I could cultivate in a private space.
But there there is no such facility. If someone probes here, they could easily find me. If it was lightning cultivation, I wouldn't mind. But no one knows about the blood element method.
I don't want anyone else to know including Jonathan. As this thought appears in my mind. I gave up practise here. When it comes to the monster cores. I will use it in future.
A few days later,
The duels for the Elite stage came to an end. The top 6 warriors are selected as well.
The Red Moon Tower Elite Warrior got the 1st place. Followed by the White Palace Warrior who got the 2nd place. Then the Eclipse Academy Warrior who got the 3rd place. The Silver Couds Academy got the 4th place and the Viper Academy got the 5th place. And 6th place is Giant Tower Academy.
When the results came. No one protested against it. Because the performance of each warriors are clear. The Red Moon Tower came prepared. Their Eite Warriors are strong. Each one of them not less than others.
Coupled with their Red Moon Inheritance. They showed exceptional performance.
Where as the White Palace did well compared it to the last time. Last time, they got bottom position in both Elite and Super Elite Category
This time their Elite Warriors have practised their inheritance method well.. Because of it they were able to secure the 2nd position.
When it comes to the 3rd place. The Eclipse Academy have shown the ordinary performance. Which considered to be not that great or bad.
Last time, they have won the 1st place. This time their Elite warriors had faced tough opponents from other academy.
The Silver Clouds Academy got the 4th place. Which came as disappointing for them. If the Supreme Elder McCarthy have wanted he could have targeted the other academy.
But for some reason, he has been maintaining silence since the 2nd day of the competition. Even Supreme Elder Marlene was surprised.
She had always thought McCarthy could create some problems. But Elite stage competition have ended formally. But still there was no reaction from him.
Which made her to believe that something must have happened. But she didn't know what is it.
On the other hand, the Viper Academy showed average performance. The results are not so different than the past year. The internal struggle had made it more difficult for them to get ready for the internal competition.
For others, Viper Academy's result was not that surprising. Because Viper Academy don't have exclusive inheritance or special techniques that can be practised by anyone.
Because of that the Elite Warriors couldn't able to upgrade their strength. They are significantly weak compared it to other Elite Warriors.
Lastly, the 6th rank was achieved by the Giant Tower Academy. It came shocking to everyone. There is not much difference between the 5th rank and 6th rank. It was decided by one or two duels.
But in the end, the Viper Academy have managed to get 5th place. Their warriors had faced weaker opponents in the last couple of rounds.
Where as the Giant Tower Academy Warriors have failed to win against the weak opponents. They have warriors who practised inheritance. But they have entirely focuses on their defense.
Most of them exhausted ended up exhausting their essence before their opponent. Which made them to lose few duels in similar way.
The news spread to all other organizations. Including the 6 big academy located in their respective region. Some celebrated. While others couldn't able to accept the defeat.
Especially the warriors in the Viper Academy have become silent. Before the start of the year end competition. Everyone is looking forward to this event.
Because many of the talented warriors had emerged from the internal competition. So they thought those who did well in the internal competition might do well in the big event as well.
But the result came as a disappointing. Those who did well in the internal competition couldn't able to hold candle against the real strong warriors.
The warriors in the Viper Academy have seem the duels. They saw the vast difference in strength between the warriors. Everyone was elite warriors but other academy warriors have something common.
They have seen the power of inheritance method and the special techniques.. Most of the warriors from other academy have won the duel by using their inheritance or special techniques.
It's just their warriors have lagged behind. It's not like the Viper Academy didn't have special means. It's just not many are practicing the special method. Because the Viper Academy's Special Method needs suitable warrior with element.
Some of the special techniques have high standard. Because of it there aren't many warriors willing to put time and effort to learn it.
But now everyone have realized it. They were wrong. The warriors can fight and win among themselves without using the special technique.
When it comes to fighting against others. They can only end up at the bottom place.
Hunter League:
Manager Shaw laughed out loud after getting the intel information. He was pleased by the news. He doesn't have to target the Viper Academy.
They are humiliating themselves. Before the start of the event, he was hoping to hear some bad news about the Viper Academy.
But strangely, things are going fine. He had given up the hope. In the end, the results surprised him.
"Ha...Ha....Ha...., I hope their Super Elite Duels to get bad as well," He laughed in his heart.
Meanwhile,
The 6 academy people went back to their mansion. Now it's time for them to prepare for Super Elite Duels.. Only after getting good results in the Super Elite Duels as well. They can secure their ranks. Otherwise, there will be some changes.
In the Viper Academy's White Mansion,
Everyone was gathered in the lobby. No one was ready to go back to their room. Dean Rebecca is sitting on the chair. But her expression was calm and composed.
Like she had expected the duel from the beginning. The 5th place among the top 6 is not something to celebrate. If not for the last duels won by the Elie Warrior of our academy.
We could have ended up getting the last place. Because of the bad performance of the Elite Warriors. The faces of other Super Elite Warriors are not good looking as well.
They have lost the confidence as well.
"What are we gonna do?" Ernest said from the side.
The current mood is depressing. No one is opening their mouth to say something. Like everyone was convinced that they are not going to win anything.
"The Elite Warriors of other academy have practiced inheritance method or special technique. Then the Super Elite Warriors must be strong," Laverne said from the side.
Hearing that faces of other Super Elite Warriors have changes drastically. Everyone was thinking about the same thing. But they didn't expect Laverne to spill the beans.
Hearing that I sighed inwardly. I don't want to give false hope to anyone. Even I don't have a clue. I rest my entire hopes on the lightning power.
Dean Rebecca sighed before looking at everyone.
She said,"Alright, don't think too much about it. Just do your best in the Super Elite category. Even if we don't get good rank, it's fine."
"We will come back next year stronger," She added.
Hearing that the Super Elite Warriors' mood becomes lighter. They were all under pressure. No one wants to disappoint the Academy or dean.
Before coming here, everyone thought about their faction. They had thought about getting fame to their faction not to their academy.
But after coming here and competing against other academy warriors. They have come to realize that they are short sighted.
They have become weak by competing against the factions.
Dean Rebecca then instructed everyone to go back to their room. She then asked them to gather for the dinner.
Hearing that everyone left the place one by one.
Rebecca sighed in her heart. For her more than competition safety of the academy is important. When the Supreme Elder was alive.
She had thought about getting good ranks in the year end competition. But past couple of months has been a roller coaster ride. Several things of happened.
Certain events have threatened the safety of the academy. And the last Hunter League incident made her worried. After that she accepted the reality and wanted to get through the situation as soon as possible.
The academy currently needs the presence of the Supreme Elder. Other things comes next. She is glad that Carlos Kent was on their side. If not things could have been bad.
