Chapter 204: Chapter 204

It was unusual to see the oval-shaped arena crowded with students.

It was the day of the appointed battle between the B-rank Red Drake Clan and the F-rank Merciless Clan.

None of the students who were here to witness the battle were guessing who would win the battle; they were guessing how the Red Drake Clan would trash the Merciless Clan.

Not only the male students were present at the moment. Even the female students were here as well to witness the battle, not because they felt it would be an exciting battle, but because it wasn’t frequent to witness a Clan Battle. So even though it was a match between two clans with a broad gap in fighting power, it was still worth watching.

Some came here for fun only and had a glimpse of some beauties from the female department. While the others wanted to gather some information regarding the other clans. After all, some people from the famous clan were also present today.

Suddenly, the noisy murmurs and whispers came to a sudden stop when a group of beauties made their way to the vacant seats.

“T-The princess!” A stammering exclamation from a male student when he saw the princess and her group.

.....

Simultaneously, all heads turned to where he was pointing upon hearing his exclamation.

“Woah!”

“So pretty!”

“Shhh! Do you wish to get beheaded?”

“Wha-!”

“Wait. Who was the girl beside the princess?”

“The girl with long black hair?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Based on my intel, her name was Sol Reia. A noble from the far east. She migrated to the empire to finish her study here in the Magical Academy.”

“Isn’t she so pretty?”

“Of course! Is there even a need to ask that?”

“Look how exquisite her body is. He could easily pass as a princess of a nation with that beauty.”

“You two! Careful not to get heard by that other beauty with them!”

“You mean the girl with shoulder-length black hair?”

“Of course! Do you even know her identity?”

A chill ran down the student’s spine after a second look.

“W-wait! She’s that cold girl who once beat up a guy who tried to show his feelings for her.”

“Idiots! That’s Young Miss Hemina of the Skyblaze family. The idiot who tried to court her at that time didn’t even know her identity. (Smh)”

Mina along with Sol and the princess also came to watch the battle. Mina and Sol knew that it was Eman’s clan. But, contrary to Sol, Mina felt anxious for the coming battle. After all, the Red Drake Clan was famous in the male department.

They have a total of 50 members, and most of them were Silver Grade and their captains were at the peak of Silver. On the other hand, aside from Eman, none of the other members of the Merciless Clan was battle-oriented. So it was a big difference.

Also, most of them were barely a silver rank. Now that Mina thought about it, she had no idea of Eman’s stage.

If she thought about Eman’s fighting capability, even Mina herself could not gauge his strength.

Logically, he should have started from the most basic stage since he was a newly awakened one. It was just barely two months when he awakened.

It wasn’t easy to advance to a new level. Mostly, it took 3-5 months for the Bronze Stage to level up. 5-7 months for the Silver Stage, and it took 7 months to 1 year of extensive training for the Golden Stage to level up. Whereas each stage consisted of 5 levels.

Mina narrowed her eyes when she noticed a familiar figure at the corner of her eyes.

It was Hannah. She came along with her group of new friends.

Hannah seemingly noticed her gaze as she looked towards Mina. Their eyes met for a second before they looked away at the same time.

Looks like she came as well to watch Eman’s clan battle. She wondered what Hannah’s true feelings were. This girl was hard to discern. Mina thought so.

The surrounding students who came to watch the coming battle erupted into a loud roar when a group of people walked towards the center of the arena.

Each of them was wearing the academy uniform of Magical Academy.

“Hehe, look captain. Even the princess is here to watch our battle,” pointed a man with long curly dyed green hair.

“This is our lucky day. So don’t waste the opportunity.”

“Yes, captain!”

“Hehe.”

“By the way, captain, will they come?” Another member asked.

The captain knitted his brows.

In the onlookers’ podium, “It was almost the appointed time. Yet, there was no sign of one of the members of the Merciless Clan,” muttered the princess.

Mina and Sol remained silent.

“Hey, Big Sis, what happened if they failed to show up?” She asked Mina. The princess was also the same as the others, she had no idea about the rules regarding the clan battle.

“If they don’t show up before the appointed time, then the Red Drake Clan will win by default,” replied Hemina to the princess.

“I see.”

Hemina knitted her brows. She wondered if Eman and his clan thought of forfeiting the match.

“Don’t worry, he will come.” They heard Sol mentioned it.

The princess was quite curious about this person that her Big Sis and Sol were looking forward to watching. However, there were only 10 seconds left before the end of the countdown.

Even the other people around were already saying that there was no way the Merciless clan would show up.

Who in the right mind would choose to come even though their defeat was certain?! Of course, the most logical thing to do in this kind of situation was to forfeit the match. With this line of thought, everyone believed that the Merciless clan had forfeited. It was the reason that they didn’t show up yet. Though, it was understandable given the gap between the two clan’s strengths.

However, at the last second, everyone fell silent when the member of the Merciless clan had finally shown up.

Weirdly though, there was only one person who came to face the 10 strong members of the Red Drake clan!

What the heck is this! Exclaimed an onlooker.
