Chapter 156
Rise of the Crusader
156 Final Tournament I
After a week, it was finally time for the final round of the tournament.
The domain was very crowded as other students in the academy came to watch.
Whether it was the second, third, or even fourth, they were all hanging around in one corner of the domain.
As the competitors arrived and the directors were also in their seats, the third round started very quickly.
The previous round had been conducted by one referee, but for the final, seven referees were on the stage. They were all standing in front of the selection boxes and after a few second ones of them spoke.
âThe selection for the final round will be called out shortly, kindly get ready.â
With that said, and one of the referees took out two papers from the selection boxes.
He opened the paper, âAiden from the elite division vs Roy from the tech division.â
A second after the referee spoke, the other referee beside him took out a paper from the selection boxes.
.....
âJeremy from the murderer division Vs Alphonso from the banditâs division.â
âLevi from the elite division Vs Teresa from the murderer division.â
âNevaeh from the norms division Vs Orson from the research and support division.â
âAurora from the tech division Vs Azarov from the banditâs division.â
âElisa from the elite division Vs Victor from the bandit division.â
âDwayne from the elite division Vs Talia from the norms division.â
âHilario from the bandit division Vs Bane from the elite division.â
âRaphael Queen from the elite division Vs Camille from the division.â
As the names of the competitors for the final round were called out one after the other, everyone in the surrounding listened attentively.
Bane was in shock from the person he was going up against, and so was Aiden.
Hilario was a monster, and even in the bandit division, she was rated very highly. And as for Aidenâs opponent, Roy.
If Aurora was the number one student in the tech division, then Roy was the number two. He was blessed abundantly and treated with high regard by the academy.
âAnd Raphael is up against Camille,â Bane muttered as he stared at Raphael and Camille behind him.
âThis is going to be...â
Before Aiden could finish his words, Baneâs voice rang out.
âFreaking awesome.â
Once the names of the contestants were called out, the referees waited for a few minutes before saying.
âNevaeh and Orson, please step forward.â
Without delay, Nevaeh and Orson marched forward.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Both of them had very grim looks on their faces, as they stared at one another.
âFighters ready? Start!â
In less than a second after the refereeâs voice rang out, Nevaeh sent multiple microscopic rods at Orson.
And even though Orson was unable to see the rods that were thrown at him, he had heard as well as seen Nevaeh in combat before.
Orson quickly a generated concentrated amount of heat from his eyes and spread the beam of heat around him.
Against the microscopic rods, Orson just kept using the beam of heat. He had no idea where they were coming from exactly, so he just shot beams of light over the place.
A few seconds passed and as there was no hit, Orson smirked. He withdrew the beams of heat coming out of his eyes and then turned towards Nevaeh.
âBitch!â He blurted.
âNow, die!!!â
A more powerful and concentrated beam emerged from Orsonâs eyes.
But, this time around, it wasnât used to block the rods instead it was targeted at the woman in front.
In response to the beam of heat, Nevaeh didnât move from where she was. However, just as the beam of heat was to make contact with her, she flicked her finger.
âPffffffttt!!â
As Nevaeh flicked her finger, five huge rods expanded from Orsonâs body.
They penetrated deep into their body, appearing on the other side of his body, and as the rods dug a huge hole in Orsonâs body, he vomited a mouthful amount of blood.
Orson was unable to keep the heat going, and as the rays of heat vanished, he seized his body from head to toe.
Staggering several steps backward with fear evident in his eyes, Orsonâs mouth opened slightly.
âThrash!â
Nevaeh had only just spoken and Orson was about to raise his head when he was greeted by a full-force hit from the rod that was on Nevaehâs hand.
He flew meters away with blood moving out of his mouth in an arc manner.
Thud!
Orson landed on the floor with his body battered severely.
Killing intent soon flashed within Nevaehâs eyes, and she was about to go to finish the job when the refereeâs voice rang out.
âThe winner is Nevaeh from the norms division.â
Nevaeh and a couple of other students were dissatisfied with the referee interference, and lack of bloodshed in the battle, however, they soon moved past it.
After all, they were going to many more chances to witness a bloodbath.
âDwayne from the elite division vs Talia from the norms division.â
From the moment the selection was made, Talia had a grim look on her face. As being paired with one of the top students in the first year wasnât what she expected.
At least not at the beginning of the tournament.
âFighters ready? Start!â
Talia possessed the power to emit highly enhanced screams of high amplitude, and the moment she heard the referee, she opened her mouth and let out a scream.
âAhh-â
However, a second after she opened her mouth, an arrow was shot into her mouth.
âCu... Curgh!â
The words which were coming from Talia were gibberish, but while she was unable to speak actual words, she kept shaking her head.
Meanwhile, a neutral look was on Dwayneâs face.
He lowered his bow and arrow, and said, âSayonara!â
Taliaâs eyes twitched, she had just grabbed the arrow and was about to pull it out when she felt something swelling within her body.
Boom!
And in the eyes of everyone, Talia exploded into different pieces.
Her head was flung to the front of the director, while her remaining body part was scattered all around the stage.
âHmm, hmmâ
âThe winner is Dwayne from the elite division.â
There was rage on the faces of the students of the norms division, the instructors, as well as their directors.
Those who could get into the third round were viewed highly in the academy. And the norms division was delighted about the potential that Taliaâs potential.
The goal was to educate her privately and make her one of the powerhouses in the division. However, none of their plans were going to happen, as Talia was dead.
âFighters ready? Start.â
Once Taliaâs body was cleared, the next competitors moved onto the stage.
