Chapter 133: The Battle Royale Competition

After Kraftvoll and the other students of Verrater Academy positioned to the place where their guide teacher led them to. All of the serious expressions of the students stated that the Battle Royale competition was about to start.

Back in the Alstan Stadium, the masters of the ceremony started talking when it was about time for the competition. He said with his sound-amplifying seishin device, "The time for the most awaited competition will be started in a few minutes! Mighty water seishin practitioners of our great Verrater Academy cast THAT spell!"

The four great seishin practitioners of the water element which belonged to the academy stood in four different directions. All of them started chanting in unison with each other.

They chanted, "As the representation of the birth and the rebirth of every being, I order thee, show us the wonders of the world, World's Reflection!"

A great number of blue seishin essences started gathering around these four great water seishin practitioners when they started chanting the same seishin spell. As they continue their chants, those blue seishin essences that were gathering around them turned into vapors of water little by little.

Right before finishing their chant, those vapors of water condensed and formed into some sort of screen in every four directions of the stage of Alstan Stadium. 

When all of these great water seishin practitioners had finished saying their chant, the four different scenes at the Mt. Verrater started to reflect on those big screens made up of water.

All of the serious faces of the students can be seen on the screen so the audience's silence suddenly broke when they started to cheer very loudly. The organizers of the yearly tournament gave their cue toward the emcee.

After seeing the cue of the organizers, the emcee decided to start announcing the commencement of the competition. He shouted with his sound-amplifying seishin device, "All the students are already in line waiting for the signal to start! The teachers will be given a signal to let the first batch of the students to go on their way! The first to go inside that high mountain is the students who participated in the first grade!"

A moment later, the elite group of the academy gave out the signal of the commencement of the Battle Royale competition. All the teachers who were assigned as a guide gave a signal for the first batch of students to enter the mountain.

The first batch was composed of first graders. Since this was the case, in Teacher Aldwin's line, Belle was the first student that was supposed to go. A moment later, the signal was given to Belle so she ran with all her might toward the deeper part of the mountain.

Kraftvoll, who was just behind Belle, shouted after she made her move. He shouted to the running Belle, "Good luck! Don't get eliminated before we face each other, okay?"

Belle showed a thumbs-up after hearing Kraftvoll's shout at her. She decided to not look back because her time was limited to prepare for the time before the next batch enters the mountain. She decided to not waste any more time so that she will be able to prepare. She knew that Kraftvoll was the one coming from behind her.

Back in the Alstan Stadium, after the emcee saw the students running from various start points through the huge screens, he announced, "The first batch of the students started going on their way inside the mountain!" 

The audience started to quiet down because they started to focus on the starting competition. Those huge water screens showed them all of the students who just entered the Verrater Academy. 

Belle was the first to run in the group of students guided by Teacher Aldwin. The next to go was Kraftvoll. Before Kraftvoll's turn, Teacher Aldwin was just waiting for three minutes interval before he let him go to transverse to the mountain. The other guides were doing this as well.

The first batch to go to Mt. Verrater were all from the first grade. With the exception of Belle, there were other nine students from the first grade that started moving in the mountain. All of them started the Battle Royale competition by finding a good spot to hide and at the same time, a good place to ambush.

When Belle reached the place out of sight of Kraftvoll and the other students from her group, she decided to climb a huge tree to hide there. She found that tree after sprinting at full speed to the east.

She did not manage to run at her full speed because the elevated ground of the mountain greatly slowed her down. Fortunately, she was able to reach a good hiding spot before the time for the next batch, Kraftvoll's batch, to go to the mountain.

Although darkness started to envelop the land, the audiences were still able to see the movement of the participant like it was in day time due to a special effect of the World's Reflection seishin spell. All of the casters that helped together conjuring this seishin spell belonged to the powerhouses of the academy, after all.

When exactly three minutes had passed since Belle and the others entered the mountain, the emcee announced something again. "Majority of the students from the first batch finished finding their hiding spots! Now, the second batch will enter the mountain!"

As soon as the three minutes time interval had passed, Teacher Aldwin immediately gave the signal to Kraftvoll to go. "You may go now!"

After hearing their guide's cue, Kraftvoll ran with all his might. To enhance his speed and mobility and also his defensive capabilities, he decided to cast a seishin spell as he ran toward the mountain. He chanted, "I command thee, Illuminate thy master's path, don't let thy owner's enemy darken the path, Lightguard!"

White seishin essences started gathering around Kraftvoll when he started chanting. The white seishin essences that were gathering around him this time were less dense because the day time was already finished.
