Chapter 217 The start of the important event  

Under the shadow of the huge dom structure, between the long straight line of many groups of elves, some humans and demi-humans, more than a hundred 'Lune Academy' students wearing purple shirts stood with frustrated expressions.

They were told to return to the Academy as soon as possible but they didn't think after returning to the Academy they would be traveling day and night without any rest!

The students glared at the three Professors standing in front of them with resentment but the Professors didn't even spare them a glance.

Regius sighed and shook his head. The dark circles under his eyes showed he was tired. The reason, he hasn't slept properly for the past two days.

He sighed and absentmindedly followed behind the Professors. Different from all the other students, three male elves and two beautiful female elves quietly followed behind him.

To everyone's surprise, except for one the other four elves following behind him weren't his classmates. Instead, they were his juniors.

The four juniors were assigned to him by one of the Academy elders the moment they entered the Academy. Because first, the four juniors entered the Academy two months later than their peers, and second, the Elder asked him to keep an eye on them so they wouldn't do anything reckless.

At first, Regius only did his job but after a few months, he became close with the four of them and they became friends. No one knew who started it but their group became quite famous in the whole Academy.

Later he found out, the four junior's backgrounds weren't normal at all and there was a reason why he was assigned to take care of them.

All four of them had a unique identity. One was the youngest princess of 'House WintCrest' the current strongest noble house of elf's Kingdom only below the elves' King while the other three were the sole heirs of three big elves families.

Regius was shocked when he found out he was treated as a scapegoat by those noble families. They wanted to protect their children and because his grandfather 'Dynn' was one of the strongest and oldest guardians of the elf's Kingdom, they decided to pick Regius as the person who would take care of their kids.

Regius knew their planning was quite good because in the elf's Kingdom, no one would dare to attack him due to his grandfather. Even though the old man stayed away from all the matters regarding the Kingdom his temper was very bad. Dynn would probably snap and kill all those who laid their hands on his only grandson.

So, the plan to send the four kids under Regius was the best they would have thought in their lives.

At first, Regius was vexed because he was used but when he saw the innocent eyes of his juniors he sighed and threw the matter at the back of his head.

It was not the junior's fault. It was their families who planned all this! Unbeknownst to him he was weak in front of pretty faces. Well, there is no way he would accept it so he blamed everything on the cunning rich families.

Regius thoughts were disturbed by some nearby murmurs. The sound grew louder and louder and he snapped his head up to see a small commotion happening opposite to him. He wasn't able to see anything because of the crowd, that's why he looked back at his only classmate Izil who was following behind him with the four juniors.

"Can you see what's happening?"

The four juniors also turned around and looked at Izil curiously.

Izil craned his neck up to look at the crowd and his cyan eyes glowed eerily for a second before he made an 'Oh' with his mouth.

"Nothing just a middle-aged woman and a silver-haired boy. They didn't stand in the line instead they entered through a special door."

Regius narrowed his eyes when he heard 'silver hair boy' but he shook his head. Silver hair was rare but why would Kyle come here? It's probably someone else.

The juniors standing behind him all perked up their ears. They belonged to famous noble families but they weren't given such a privilege. So who was this silver-haired boy?

One of the juniors, an elf girl with frost-colored hair quietly listened to the murmurs around them and grinned. She wrapped her hand around the honey-haired girl's shoulder standing beside her.

"Yue, can you hear the murmurs? They are saying it's a silver hair handsome boy. Remember you told me your preference..."

Her sentence was cut short because Yue pinched her waist.

"Shut up Lumi! Don't speak nonsense. When did I tell you my preference?"

Lumi stuck out her tongue with an 'Oh'. Clearly not satisfied.

"Hmm, it's okay if you don't want to try. I don't like silver-haired ones but I like handsome ones so I can..."

"Lumi!"

"Alright, Alright. I am not joking anymore. Hahaha."

Lumi laughed out loud gathering a lot of attention. The two boys behind them shook their heads. They were used to Lumi's childish jokes. Moreover, she was the only one who could make Yue flustered.

Regius sighed and waved his hand.

"Stop fooling around. It's our turn next."

As he spoke, the Professors in front of them moved forward because they were finally in front of the dom. A tall middle-aged male wearing plain clothes gave one of the Professors some papers and the Professor hurriedly filled the papers, writing down the Academy name and the information of 'Lune Academy' kids who were participating in the event.

After the Professor returned the filled papers, the middle-aged man seriously fiddled with the papers and nodded. He gestured for the 'Lune Academy' to enter the dom.

The students sighed with relief because they had been standing for the past few hours. They followed behind the Professor and entered the dom.

All of them were stunned when they saw the structure inside the dom. In between the round rows of thousands of chairs descending upward toward the ceiling of the dom, a large circular platform filled with various difficult Array symbols was shining under the huge crowd of young and old individuals.

The Lune Academy students staggered forward slowly, looking at the air that was filled with faint green particles flying around everywhere.

A majestic beautiful figure of an elf woman was floating above the platform. Her emotionless gaze swept through the new arrivals for a few seconds.

The students snapped out of their thoughts when their Professors gathered them together. One of the professors stood in front of them with a serious expression and started speaking. Giving his last words to the students.

"Kids, I know that the Academy had informed you regarding today's event. This event is not simple. It's specially designed to find rare talents from Kingdom Tersia. The participants who emerged victorious in this event would be directly nurtured under the King. They would be offered hundreds of rewards. Moreover, the strongest warriors of Kingdom Tersia would give the winners direct teachings!"

"That's why I want all the students of 'Lune Academy' to achieve the best result possible. This event is held under the watchful eyes of many strong individuals from all over the Kingdom, they are here to stop any meaningless deaths. However, from the start, you were warned because they wouldn't save you merely because you admitted defeat they would only rescue you when you are on the brink of death!"

The Professor's expression turned grave.

"I don't want to see all of you crying like headless chickens! I want to see all of you shine. You can see with your own eyes just how many people are participating in the event. They won't give you a chance to win so make sure to prove them wrong! I accept all the students from 'Lune Academy' to climb the top spots! Do all of you understand!"

The student's faces become serious. They shouted with renowned vigor.

"Yes!"

The crowd around them scoffed when they heard their loud declaration.

Some of them even laughed and murmured among themselves but the 'Lune Academy' students ignored the crowd. After the professor was done, he and the other Professors gestured for the kids to enter the crowd and they sat down among the people sitting on chairs surrounding the circular platform.

.....

Amidst the heated crowd. At the edge of the platform, Kyle stood behind Serena who was talking to an old individual. She signed Kyle's name on a piece of paper with a smile and handed it to the old man.

"Sir, I thank you for this favor."

The old man waved his hand and laughed bitterly.

"How can I refuse this favor when the elves Queen herself contacted me because of your request? I am not sure about the King opinion but we all know he would never question the Queen's words."

The old man laughed and gazed at Kyle's figure. His eyes turned sharp when he didn't sense anything from Kyle's body.

'Interesting, I will keep an eye on this kid. Let's see what's so special about him.'
