310 The Day Before The Tournament

Amidst the big commotion, the staff of the hotel came out.

“Welcome to the Luminia Grande Hotel”

The students were greeted by staff who led them to their rooms. While some stayed behind to enjoy the scenery of Luminia City, many went inside to check their rooms.

As the best hotel in Luminia City, every room was very high-cla.s.s and something that would normally cost quite a hefty amount of money to book. However, as the number 1 school, Ace Academy had no problem sponsoring such a thing.

Inside each room, there were luxurious, comfortable beds, s.p.a.cious balconies overlooking the city, and modern amenities.

The students settled in, and most of them chose to rest for a bit on their soft beds. Others wandered around the new location and took a look around the hotel.

As the hotel rooms were booked by various schools, they could see many students wearing different school dresses.

Not every school had a good relations.h.i.+p with another. Even if there was no animosity between schools, some partic.i.p.ants still harbored grudges against partic.i.p.ants from other schools.

As such, there were many small skirmishes happening in the hotel. This also applies to Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants. Not only did it apply but it seems that most people arguing with other partic.i.p.ants were from Ace Academy.

.....

Some were issuing real challenges while others were provoking and belittling them. However, the partic.i.p.ants involved were not at the level of Hiro or Ren nor could that cause as big a commotion as they.

However, it appears that many students from other schools have joined hands and have targeted Ace Academy. This is because they always seem to provoke Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants. While Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants were furious, they didn’t make a big deal out of it and chose to endure it.

The reason why they chose to not confront their enemies was that the opponents provoked them in groups. If things got physical, they would suffer. They could beat one or two of them but their group consists of 6 to 8 students. Moreover, since they don’t have any intention of attacking, so if they are physically attacking first, they might be penalized by the tournament’s authorities.

The second reason was that many such incidents were happening all around. They could see that many of their peers were also arguing with other partic.i.p.ants. They realized that they were targeting them and trying to provoke them into attacking them. They were not stupid enough to get trapped in their trap.

The third reason was that there was no need to respond to such low-level provocation. They were determined to show them their place in the tournament rather than bickering with them. As such, they began to ignore those hostile students.

However, not every partic.i.p.ant was hostile toward them. There were some students who were friendly with them and appeared not to have joined forces with their enemy school.

They spent their time talking to them and getting to know each other. While they would be competing with each other, that didn’t mean that everyone had to be hostile like Ren was to Hiro. Most partic.i.p.ants preferred to create a harmonious relations.h.i.+p with each other.

Before they knew it, it was time for dinner. They gathered in a large dining room, where they were served a delicious meal.

Luminia Grand Hotel was already full of prestigious schools, and they were all gathered in this dining area for dinner. Students kept their best behavior and even those students who were previously provoking Ace Academy in the afternoon didn’t pick a fight with them.

The primary reason seemed to be because of the presence of many professors as well as the people who would be administering the tournament. If they caused a problem in front of the tournament administrator, they might kick you out before the tournament.

As a result, it seems that the enemies of Ace Academy will refrain from provoking them for the time being.

The dinner was quite good. Professors from different schools seemed to be mingling and chatting with each other. Some students were sneakily a.n.a.lyzing the other partic.i.p.ants from other schools while others were busy eating the huge feast in front of them.

As the night drew to a close, the students made their way back to their rooms, exhausted but happy. There was still one day before the tournament started.

Students were free to do anything except create problems and be back at the hotel by 6 pm. As for the discussion and strategy about the tournament, they had already done that at school.

Further strategies would only be made when they knew the rules of the tournament tomorrow. As for today, they were free to do anything that they wanted.

For most partic.i.p.ants, it was their first time coming to Luminia City. They began to explore the place with excitement. Even those who had been to the place before were happy to go shopping.

Luminia City specializes in trade and has many things to offer. Many things are available in Luminia including various artifacts and Art books. Students wandered around trying to find something that might help them with tomorrow’s tournament.

As tomorrow was the day of the tournament, the streets of Luminia were filled with people. Many people had already arrived in Lumina City from various places in order to witness tomorrow’s tournament.

Though most of them were relatives of partic.i.p.ants. Even Zero’s parents were also in Luminia City right now. They were there to support Misha along with Misha’s parents. The expectations for Misha were high and they believe that Misha has the chance of getting into the Top-10 rank.

Last year, Misha surprised Misha’s parents by not only getting selected for the Tournament Of Academies but also ranking in the Top-100. Although the Top-100 does not sound impressive, one should know that Misha was a first-year student, which is rare in itself.

Misha’s parents believe that she has a good chance of being in the Top-10 since she is ranked Rank-C. In the tournament, being in rank C – already means that you have a high chance of being Top-10, not to mention Rank-C.

Last year, barely 4 partic.i.p.ants’ ranks were more than Rank-C. Therefore, they believe that their daughter would be likely to get into the Top-10.

Top-10! This rank would be extremely good to get for Misha. Not to mention, getting it in the second year. Their guild SilverSong had someone who got into the Top-10 in Tournament Of Academies, not to mention someone who is just in her second year.

However, while optimistic about their daughter, they can’t be sure. Mostly because it was not an individual compet.i.tion and had to also do with the power of their school.

With a worrisome news scandal, the third-year students abandoning Ace Academy and transferring to another school, many people were not optimistic about Ace Academy winning this year’s Tournament Of Academies. They believed that the strength of Ace Academy would surely be decreased after all those events.

People can’t help but be worried about the current situation of Ace Academy, especially those who support Ace Academy.

Will they be okay without third-year students?

Would they win with most of their experienced students going to the enemy camp?

Will Ace Academy finally lose its crown as well as its qualification to teach?

They didn’t know but they could only expect some miracles from the Ace Academy partic.i.p.ants in tomorrow’s tournament.
