Amon, The Legendary Overlord

142 Chapter 142

There were many students from the four universities looking at Amon's group. Some had just seen what had happened with the blood-eating tree; others witnessed inconvenient moments where they saw powerful beasts being slain while more than ten people looked on in fear and terror as the monsters were killed by Amon's team. One of these people was Cristina, who looked at Amon's group with great fear when remembering that she had had her body split in half with just one kick.

If Teacher Mirulipa was still here, he would have advanced with the intent to kill when he saw Amon. Other, more sensitive teachers noticed that all the members of Amon's group went ahead and created their first genetic factor!

"Incredible!"

It was something that almost all of them said at the same time with some mutterings of "Wow!" or "Lucky!" It wasn't the first time a student had managed to create a genetic factor in this secret realm, however, it was the first time that an entire group of five people had managed to do something like this. Even Old Hazael and the rest of UGRG University were looking at them proudly.

Suddenly, a pleasant, sweet voice sounded behind Amon, and at the same time, a fragrance hit him.

"You almost got in trouble, boy."

Amon turned and saw Teacher Flavia. She looked beautiful even when she wore formal clothes. Her hair was tied in a bun, her eyes a little narrowed as she looked at him.

"Because of Aguinaldo's father?" Amon guessed. He had already thought that the boy's father would want to get him into trouble the moment they left the secret realm.

Flavia, her beautiful cherry lips curved in a perfect arc, said in a sweet, soft voice, "Yes, he caused a ruckus before when his son showed up. After that, he was arrested and is now about to be punished for threatening too much." Her voice turned cold at the end.

"Oh." Amon didn't show much reaction. He didn't care much to say anything at the least.

"Auntie, are we in first place?" Ariel took her aunt's arm and asked with an adorable smile. Barbara, Maisa, and Julia looked at Flavia in amazement, as until a few minutes ago she had looked so mean. It was hard to reconcile with her current expression.

Flavia didn't push Ariel away, but instead replied, "It still needs to be calculated. Soon they will ask for medallions from each group to calculate and determine the 10 groups that entered the top 10 and will compete for the top spots."

"Heads up!" Suddenly, Elder Yamashi, Old Hazael's rival, shouted loudly, drawing everyone's attention. He continued, "Choose the leader of your teams and the leaders of the thirty teams line up in front of me to calculate each of your winnings!"

Elder Wilian of the Universal University, Elder Daimon of The Heavenly Sword University, and Old Man Hazael were by Yamashi's side waiting next to a futuristic machine that would calculate each team's earnings. Gradually, the thirty teams chose the leaders to represent the teams. Amon was one of the team leaders and so he got in line.

The process was very fast. It was less than 1 minute for each person and took less than 30 minutes for the result to come out. Soon, a big screen appeared in front of everyone and showed those who made the top 10.

_ _

1 – Team Amon; UGRG University

2 – Team Mary; Heavenly World University

3 – Team Xena; Heavenly World University

4 – Team Sandra; Universal University

5 – Team Figueredo; UGRG University

6 – Team Sheron; Golden Phoenix University

7 – Team Lancelot; UGRG University

8 – Team Elizabeth; Universal University

9 – Team Daniel; Golden Phoenix University

10 – Team Andrew; Universal University

"We entered the top 10!" Those who saw their group's leader's name on the holographic screen celebrated. However, those who did not see their team on the board were crestfallen. They still didn't know what the top 10 rewards were, but they figured whatever they turned out to be must be very generous.

"We are in first, as expected," Barbara said with a smile without hiding her happiness.

"Yeah!" Maisa and Julia smiled.

"It was already expected that this would be the result." Despite saying that, Ariel didn't hide that she was happy to see that they came first.

Flavia muttered, "As expected, Heavenly World University picked up a good rank. Despite having 'only' two teams in the top 10, they managed to take second and third place. And the team leaders of their groups have already managed to create the first genetic factor."

"Aside from them, is there anyone else besides us who managed to create the first genetic factor?" Ariel asked as she looked at Flavia.

"Yes, Andrew and Sandra from Universal University and Sheron from the Golden Phoenix University. Also, aside from you five, there's Lancelot from our university. These are the ones who managed to create their first genetic factor."

"So, a total of six people, not counting us…" Barbara said thoughtfully, "If so, then we are almost certain to win."

"Yeah," Flavia agreed.

Amon just then got back, and that's also when Flavia left. She no longer tried to hide the close relationship she had with them, especially with Ariel - who was her niece but had other duties to do.

"Okay, everyone has seen the result, yes?" Elder Yamashi's voice echoes again, "The team tournament for the top 10 will now begin. The teams that did not make it into the top 10 should not remain shaken too much; you will have the chance to compete later for the top 20 and 30. There are great surprises waiting for you!"

The teams that didn't make the top 10 were motivated to hear this.

"Now, move away from the circle around the courtyard!" Elder Yamashi's voice echoed again.

"Circle?"

Many looked at the ground, saw bump marks rising up from the floor, and walked away from the circle. Before long, they all came out of the circle. When they left, the platform rose into the air, hovering ten feet off the ground.

"The rules for the team tournament are pretty simple," Elder Yamashi said loud enough for everyone to hear as he floated in the air, "Those who are of lower rank can challenge someone of higher rank. Each team can launch 2 challenges. Of course, each team can decline 2 challenges, thus spending both chances to challenge as well."

"Oh, so, basically we're going to stay in first if no one challenges us. Or might we want to decline two challenges?" Maisa analyzed.

"Yes, that sounds accurate," Barbara nodded.

"But, would anyone have the courage to spend their 2 chances to challenge us?" Julia asked, "After all, all five of us have managed to create our first genetic factor."

"Maybe the second and third place will challenge us, as they are from the same university and only have us in front of them." The way Ariel said this, it was like she was waiting for them to challenge them.

Well, it would be a lie if the girls said they didn't want to fight the other teams that has opponents with 1 genetic factor created.

"If someone challenges us, we should definitely accept it," Barbara said, "There's no reason to refuse."

"Yeah." Amon, Maisa, Julia, and Ariel agree in unison.

It was only as they finished speaking that a cold girl's voice echoed.

"My team challenges Team Amon!"

Almost at the same time, everyone looked in her direction and saw that the one who had spoken was a girl from Heavenly World University.

Elder Wilian, who stood up in front of the crowd, took a mic and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Wilian, and I will be the top 10's judge." He looked to where Amon and the girls were. "Does Team Amon accept the challenge from team Xena?"

"Yes, we accept the challenge," Amon answered without thinking.

"Okay, each team can send one person to represent their team. The person who wins the match can choose to retreat and switch out with a teammate or continue challenging. The team that gets 3 wins first wins the set," Elder Wilian explained.

"Who wants to go first?" Amon looked at the girls.

Meanwhile, Xena, the other team's leader, leapt onto the stage and landed elegantly in the arena. She was blonde with golden eyes. Quite tall for a woman, at 189 cm, she was also quite curvy. Despite her breasts being well hidden in the breastplate of her silver armor, it could be seen that she had a statuesque body. Around the arena, there seemed to be spells, because when Xena entered the arena, it was possible to notice a kind of transparent bubble molding around her body before creating an opening for her to pass through.

"This is..." Xena looked at Elder Wilian.

"Haha, it's a spell to prevent fatal blows from happening. Don't worry. Besides ensuring your own safety, it won't restrict you in any way," Wilian said, "Guns are allowed. For that reason, among several others, it would be weird if we didn't have something like this. After all, we don't want any geniuses to die in a tournament."

"I understand." Xena nodded and stopped asking questions. She glanced in the direction of Team Amon.

"Let me go," Barbara asked Amon. She was already holding her sword as she looked at them.

"You can go," Amon said when he saw that the other girls were not against it.

"Thanks." She smiled and jumped high and landed on stage.

Xena had a cold expression as she looked at Barbara. Her body gave off an oppressive aura as she was surrounded by the wind.

Barbara made the blue flames surround her as she held her sword and said, "Let's have a good fight."

"I hope you can take more than three blows from me," Xena said coldly as her aura grew stronger.

"Oh, hehee~" Barbara laughed in response.
