After the winners of the match were declared silence fell on the arena for a split of a second, before the students in the stands cheered the three girls, at the beginning they seemed to not be in the same page, but apparently, they were just feigning as they perfectly blocked the best attacks of Samuel and Harald.
And while those who supported Samuel thought that the result might have been different if his teammates were "better", those who paid attention simply countered them saying "Even in a one on one, Samuel suffered a wound while Gina didn't".
Due to their wounds, Samuel, Harald and Caleb were taken to the infirmary, Arthur, the Faresh ancestor and the supreme elder Trevor Allier immediately left the stadium.
Of course, before leaving and with a poison filled expression, Arthur handed Aura the fifty new middle ranked mana crystals of the bet, while Lars and Maxim also left while remembering the words of the black-haired youth of which they laughed before.
"There won't be a spot in the second year's exploration team for the Furious Whirlwind and the Earth Palace academies".
Lars stole a gaze at the skybox of the elite class as he flew out of the stadium and for a split of a second, he swore he saw Daimon smirking at him, but after a close inspection he inwardly shook his head.
'How can a mere one star ranked mage be able to follow my flying speed, I better make sure that Arthur's son has what it takes to win', he thought as hew became a flash of green light surrounded by gusts of wind and shot towards the academic city.
At the skybox of the elite class, Daimon chuckled, Arianna and the others won, so now everything was settled.
'I wonder what would that guy's expression is going to be tomorrow", he thought.
Erin saw Daimon glaring at Lars and she giggled while wrapping her tail around him, while using dark curtain of course.
Leaving aside Daimon and Erin's flirting game, back at the platform, Arianna Ginna and Lana went to the resting area and the screens changed their focus to Stella.
"The last event for the first half of the tournament will be starting now, those who are apt to fight among yesterday and today's participants will be allowed to challenge each other, additionally the students ranked seventeen to twenty-five will have a chance to challenge those at most ten ranks above them".
"The rules are the same, but the matches will have a time limit of ten minutes, the winner will exchange rank with the loser, the top three in other words Arianna Argent, Lana Ramir and Gina Leeris are exempted from the revenge match".
Stella's words caused an uproar, Samuel was degraded from the first rank to the fourth rank!
The guards from the army had to let out a bit of their mana pressures, to make the students calm down after that shocking new, the team fight practically doomed him for the rest of the year as the top three, top five, top ten and lastly top fifteen receive benefits from the academy in different degrees.
That's why there were some among the spectators of the Jolbaris family which were outraged by the result, but under the pressure of the guards they didn't dare to create any troubles.
The gates of the resting area opened and another fourteen second year students came out of them, among them, there was a group of four whose expressions were bitter, and considering that there was one member of both the Revy and Argent families among them, it was safe to assume they were part of whatever the plan of Kyle Revy was.
The only happy here was Calant Allier, because he wasn't expelled from the top five, or at least he was happy until he heard someone calling him out.
"Calant, bring your ass here".
Calant saw the tall tower like figure in the platform and he gritted his teeth, it was Cayden who even after losing against Ariana managed to recover enough to fight today.
…
The revenge matches started and while the majority of spectators were interested at first, mostly because they thought Erick or Paul would aim for a higher rank, but that wasn't the case the only noticeable thing was that the sixteenth ranked defeated Wade Risha taking his thirteenth rank.
After giving the announcement that the new ranking list will be released tonight, the Half Emperors left followed by most of the Arch ranks, the vice principals and other staff of the academy.
"Don't go to sleep to late at night brats, tomorrow it will be your time to shine, I'll see you at 9:00 PM tomorrow at the classroom".
After saying goodbye, Boris took Aliya with him and they left, surprisingly, Calvin and Loren, Michael and Haylee even the Risha sisters immediately excused themselves, leaving only Daimon, Aisha, Liz, Elaine, Erin which was hiding with dark curtain and Aleah.
Speaking of Aleah, she suddenly looked at the gate of the skybox from which Aura was currently coming in with a tired Arianna, Lana which was happily humming and a slightly serious Gina accompanied by Stella.
Daimon raised an eyebrow at Aura, although he planned to present Arianna to Aleah, the other two weren't in the scope.
"Don't look at me like that, I just went to get your reckless "junior sister", but these two and vice principal Leeris tagged along", said Aura as she shrugged.
"The following seems to be important so I guess I should be present", Erin's melodious voice filled the room as she appeared out of thin air, while Aleah, Arianna, Gina, Stella and Lana thought Erin used space shift to appear in the room, Daimon and the girls knew she just became visible.
"Ahem, pardon our intromission Lady Revy, principal, my little sister wanted to talk with Arianna and we ended tagging along".
Daimon turned to see Arianna and saw her nodding at him, originally, he was going to give her the petal of the snow lotus once the tournament ended, because he still had to get the stalactite milk, but apparently there was a little change in the plans.
"I want to advance to the five-star mage realm before the exploration… that's why I accepted to cooperate with Arianna", said Gina in a calm but slow voice, after looking at her up close Daimon noticed she was quite pale, to the point that she looked a bit anemic, which confirmed his previous theory about that strange red ice she used.
Anyway, now or later it didn't make any difference since they already got him the spots needed for Aleah, and the ones that he will be using to extort… negotiate with Lars and Maxim, so Daimon took out one petal of the snow lotus which he plucked and sealed in a special case beforehand and threw it at Gina whose eyes were sparkling as she saw the content of the case.
Lana also curiously looked at the priceless treasure Gina was holding and she extended her hand at Daimon.
"Give me", she said with an expectant voice, but her hopes were crushed as she saw Daimon shaking his head.
"I will get yours after the tournament ends like it was originally discussed, besides you are already a five-star mage, so if you refine the stalactite milk you won't be able to enter the exploration".
Daimon expected Lana to show at least some signs of being angry or disappointed, but she instead simply nodded.
"Mm, fine".
'What a weird girl', thought Daimon.
"Anyway, if you three don't have anything to do right now, I would like to introduce the one that will be using one of the spots you got today", he said as he pointed at Aleah.
"Aleah, you three had an interesting fight back there, so I guess we can team up".
Gina raised an eyebrow, Aleah wasn't bothering to hide her realm, so it was clear that she was a peak five-star knight, but that wasn't what caught her attention, but her beast characteristics, as a part of one of the only two feline races which had a proper name, besides the werecats, she has never seen or heard of a lion like race.
Also, she offered a handshake something which isn't lady-like, surprisingly the first one to accept the gesture was none other than Lana, but it wasn't a simple handshake, both Aleah and Lana applied some strength to their grips, a silverish light covered Aleah's hand while a dim light green light covered Lana's, they only stopped after hearing Daimon clearing his throat.
"Ahem, it's nice that you two seem to be in the same page, but there are sparks coming from your hands you know".
Daimon wasn't exaggerating, whatever was the element of Lana, it was sturdy enough to be on par with Lana's metal-oriented battle aura causing sparks and the sound of metal scratching each other, which wasn't exactly pleasant to hear.
Those two stopped and looked at their hands, while Lana was a bit numb due to Aleah's physical strength, Aleah saw some shallow lacerations on her palm.
Arianna couldn't help but turn to see Daimon.
"Oh great, two battle psychos", she mumbled.
Aleah chuckled as she nodded at Arianna.
"I'm sorry, you are Daimon's junior sister right, that boosting spell was quite something, and it's hard to believe that a mage's body could withstand such a high tension too".
The last one was Gina who was even more interested in Aleah's race, she was well aware of Lana's abilities and someone in the same range of age who can receive an "attack" from her head on and not bleed, should be renowned, but she couldn't think of anyone.
Aleah noticed Gina's curious filled eyes and she felt amused by it, instead of taking it as an offense it was a motive of pride for her.
"Snow leopard girl, no matter how much you think about it you won't guess my race, because there is no one else like me".

After the winners of the match were declared silence fell on the arena for a split of a second, before the students in the stands cheered the three girls, at the beginning they seemed to not be in the same page, but apparently, they were just feigning as they perfectly blocked the best attacks of Samuel and Harald.
And while those who supported Samuel thought that the result might have been different if his teammates were "better", those who paid attention simply countered them saying "Even in a one on one, Samuel suffered a wound while Gina didn't".
Due to their wounds, Samuel, Harald and Caleb were taken to the infirmary, Arthur, the Faresh ancestor and the supreme elder Trevor Allier immediately left the stadium.
Of course, before leaving and with a poison filled expression, Arthur handed Aura the fifty new middle ranked mana crystals of the bet, while Lars and Maxim also left while remembering the words of the black-haired youth of which they laughed before.
"There won't be a spot in the second year's exploration team for the Furious Whirlwind and the Earth Palace academies".
Lars stole a gaze at the skybox of the elite class as he flew out of the stadium and for a split of a second, he swore he saw Daimon smirking at him, but after a close inspection he inwardly shook his head.
