The timer hit .
"And we have the winners of this tournament!!!" Gazil spoke as the crowd loudly cheered.
Many people got upset by the results, but this was a tournament where only your own strength could secure you the win.
The leaderboards were removed, and nobody could see them when the timer hit 00:15:00.
So, people were excited to see the final score of both Asher and Alyssa.
Alyssa and Venessa looked towards a man coming towards them with a white coat.
He was one of the professors who was in charge of this tournament.
"So you won," he said to Alyssa with a disgusted look on his face.
Alyssa knew why he made such a face, but she knew that this was her fate, and she could do nothing about it.
"And you, if you have no spirit to win, don't participate in such tournaments," he spoke to Venessa.
"It's my choice, what do you mean-" Venessa wanted to argue, but Alyssa, who could now hover and stand, stopped her.
"Was there any rule that refrained her from doing that?" Alyssa asked.
The professor looked at Alyssa.
"After all, blood does not lie," he muttered, but Alyssa could hear it, making her clench her fist.
"There is the portal that will take you to the stage outside for the winning ceremony. Step in it," he spoke and turned.
"What a rude guy!" Venessa said as she showed her tongue at his back.
"By the way, my name is Venessa, Venessa Baker," she reached out her hand to Alyssa.
"Alyssa," Alyssa replied and shook her hand.
'Not an Elite family,' Alyssa noticed that from Venessa's surname she was not from an Elite family.
"Thank you for letting me win," it was shameful for her, but Alyssa still bowed towards Venessa.
"Ah! No, don't do it, I told you before, but if you didn't show such performance against those Elite family kids, I would not have helped you," Venessa replied truthfully.
"But still, this win was very important to me," Alyssa said as she remembered the paper she has signed just before joining this tournament.
****************
While she was coming to the tournament waiting room, she was told by the caretaker to sign some documents.
"What are these documents?" Alyssa asked the woman who was her caretaker for today.
"You have to sign it, these documents state that after today, you have no legal connection to the Astaria family, and your conflicts are your own. The Astaria family will not be held accountable for your mistakes," the caretaker explained with an annoyed look on her face.
"So they will disown me?" she asked without reacting much to this news. She expected her father to disown her sooner or later, and she was lucky enough that she had the chance to attend the World Academy.
"Yeah, and you will have no shares in the property of the Astaria family," she explained.
Although Alexander said it was difficult for him to disown Alyssa completely because she still had the blood of the Astaria family, he wanted to remove any chance of her claiming any of the assets of the Astaria family.
"And what if I don't sign it?" she glared at the woman.
"You cannot attend the World Academy without signing it," the woman smiled at her.
"I will sign it," Alyssa took the paper and signed on it.
She knew that what the World Academy could offer her was better than getting the money from the Astaria family. There was a reason why children of the Elite families attended
******************
In the boy's final location, another professor appeared in front of Asher.
"Congratulations on winning the tournament, you can now pass through that portal." The professor informed Asher.
"Your performance was wonderful, even your swordsmanship was perfect," he praised Asher.
"You truly live up to the expectations of the grandson of the Swordgod," he spoke.
"Can I go?" Asher asked with an indifferent look on his face.
"Oh, yeah, yeah." The professor scratched his head and smiled as he made way for Asher to move.
The test conductors were taking the injured students to the medical facility and also retrieving those who were still in the forest.
Alyssa and Venessa appeared on the stage and saw the huge amount of people sitting in the stadium cheering loudly for them.
"Our winners of this representative have arrived," Gazil spoke.
Alyssa looked to her left as another person stepped out of the portal. She looked at the boy who was coming out with blood on his hands and his armor that was given by the World Academy.
She stared at the boy with black hair and crimson red eyes that seemed like they wanted to devour everything. She kept looking at him but she came out of her trance as Venessa spoke.
"Wow, he is so handsome," Venessa spoke as she looked at Asher who came out of the portal.
Amelia, Elena, Eva, and Ria also stepped out after Alyssa as they stood a bit away from her.
Elena looked at Asher, who was covered with blood. Her body started trembling remembering the incident at the party.
"Where is Kevin?" She looked around to spot Kevin.
"Stop, Elena!" Eva lightly shook Elena, who was panicking not seeing Kevin.
"I think Kevin lost to him," Eva said with a sad look on her face.
They did not think that Kevin would lose to Asher, knowing that he was capable enough to go to E-Rank dungeons and hunt F-Rank monsters.
"We have the winner of this year!!" Gazil spoke.
"For the first place of the Boy's tournament, we have Asher Von Raven Greville!!!" he spoke.
"With the total of 92 tokens, setting a new record with the previous one of 60 tokens," Gazil spoke.
"For the first place of the Girl's tournament, we have Alyssa Astaria," Gazil had to speak the full name here because of the rules of the ceremony.
"With the total of 88 tokens, setting a new record with the previous one being 58 tokens," Gazil said, but instead of cheering, the crowd went silent.
"Astaria?"
"Wait, didn't they only have a son?"
"Is she the daughter of his first wife?"
"What about Garcia's blood?"
Noises started appearing, but they got silenced as Arman quickly appeared and took the mic.
Alyssa knew the reaction, but it still hurt her as she let her head down.
"As you all know, the rules state that the winner of this tournament will become the representative of the first-year students," Arman spoke.
"So we will have Alyssa and Asher Greville as the First Year head students," Arman spoke.
But instead of cheering, a voice came from one of the participants who stood on the stage.
"How could a person with Garcia's blood become our representative?" Ria Adler shouted as everyone looked at her.
"This is the rule, and I cannot change it," Arman firmly replied.
"So you are saying we should now follow the commands of this ugly Garcia's girl," Ria spoke, and many other students on the stage started agreeing with her.
"Yeah, how could they allow a Garcia's child in the World Academy," a boy spoke.
"Just look at her. She is so ugly, just like her blood," the girl spoke.
Even the crowd started hurling insults at Alyssa.
"Die, Die, Die, Die, Die," voices saying to kill herself started to appear in Alyssa's head.
She started having trouble breathing, and pain in her chest started to rise up due to increasing stress.
"No, no," she started muttering.
Venessa got confused by the situation and could not even look at Alyssa, who stood beside her.
"Why is this dumb bitch speaking so loudly?" Asher spoke as he looked at Ria Adler.
Everyone looked at Asher, but Alyssa still had her head down.
"Excuse me?" Ria shouted at Asher, not expecting him to insult her in front of so many people.
"Can't you hear me?" Asher's cold eyes intimidated Ria.
"Why do I need to say it again and again for your family to understand not to speak too much," Asher's cold voice made Elena tremble as she lowered her gaze.
"This bastard," James flared up his mana, but Filia stopped him.
"Does speaking so loudly run in your filthy blood?" Asher spoke, but as a sudden wave of pressure downed the whole stadium.
"Do you want to die, boy?" A 50-year-old-looking man appeared in front of the crowd and looked down at Asher floating in the air.
His blond hair floated in the air, and his deep blue eyes landed on Asher who looked above.
"Grandfather!" Elena looked at the man floating in the air.
"No way, Dalton Rothschild," a person exclaimed.
"The SSS Rank hunter of the Rothschild family," another person spoke.
Asher recognized the person as he was none other than the grandfather of Elena, Dalton Rothschild, who was one of the 11 SSS Rank hunters in the world.
"It seems nobody taught you the consequences of your actions," Dalton said as cracks started to appear in the barrier that separated the stage and the crowd.
Arman almost stepped in to calm Dalton Rothschild down, but another flood of pressure was felt a bit greater than Dalton. Unlike Dalton's aura, which made you look up to him in awe for his strength, the man that appeared instilled fear in others.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," Nathan laughed.
"When did a Greville start to fear the consequences?" Nathan looked at Dalton.
"Do you think you rule this world?" Dalton said as a blue-hilted sword appeared in his hands.
"It seems like people have forgotten about me!" Nathan said as the space around him turned redder, and a reddish-black greatsword with a gem on the hilt appeared in his hand.
"Fuck, this old man might kill us all," Arthur panicked after seeing Nathan take out his greatsword.
Arman raised his hand as he and the other professors struggled to shield the audience and the students on the stage from the sheer pressure emitted by Nathan and Dalton.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
