Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 227 - Grand Entrance

A man wearing a purple uniform led a group of five with a smile on his face. He had ponytailed black hair with a lean figure that encompassed his strength. With his hand behind his back, he leisurely walked to the front as the cheers of the crowd getting wild.

"Last Crown Champion! The Silver Sky Academy!" said one of the crowd

"The youth behind the principal was none other than the little brother of the last Ace of the team, Faust!"

The youth's eyes were full of arrogance as he basked in the glory of their praises. His medium-length brown hair fluttered against the wind as his chiseled face formed a smile.

Firion grinned as he looked at Faust while the twins furrowed his eyebrows. They knew he was the top favorite and the strongest in the competition. It was normal for one to be wary of him.

"Not only that, but I also heard the girl behind him was Dan Hufei's own granddaughter, Fue Hufei!" said one of the crowd as they noticed the beauty.

She was a petite girl with a pink ribbon on her long black hair. She wore the purple uniform along with the purple skirt to exude her cuteness. She was at the same age as Luna but she had a more cheerful personality than her. She waved to the crowd with a smile as a part of its teeth was visible escaping out.

The principal immediately jumped to greet the overseer, "Greetings overseers."

The trio nodded before the principal of the Silver Sky Academy brazenly took a seat in the middle. As the last competition's champion, he felt that none would disagree with him being in the center though there was no special meaning to it in the first place.

"Ah, Khafai I would like a chance to spar with you sometime in the near future," asked Reyes with a cupped hand.

"Haha, the time will come later after I won the competition," he answered.

Reyes had a twitched mouth but he didn't dare to cause an unnecessary ruckus around here. Especially in front of the overseers.

"Silver Star Academy, the last Crown Champion! Faust the little brother of the Fang of Mountains, Gilvilar, will he be able to take up his mantle I wonder?" asked Sophia as she faced Old Dan for his opinion.

"Of course! The lad is outstanding both in talent and in combat, I can fairly say that he is truly like his older brother! I'm even thinking of marrying my granddaughter off to him haha!"

His comment made her granddaughter blushed but she didn't refute it.

"Hohoho what's this, it seemed like you will have a new grandson-in-law soon," teased Sophia as she noticed the girl's reaction.

Faust rubbed his chin before he sat down in the nearby seats provided for the team.

The fourth gate gradually opened as white uniforms stole the attention of the top contender. With hasty footsteps the six of them revealed themselves.

Led by a plain face middle-aged man with a lean figure, the principal seemed dull compare to the others. But their fame as the runner-up said otherwise.

"Woah, she is beautiful."

"Yeah, aren't we quite lucky, a lot of beauties is joining this competition."

"The Cold Beauty, Chloe!"

The crowd immediately discussed between themselves. While the notable experts from the same place already knew their strength to a certain extent. It was, after all, Mabia Academy.

Chloe had her eyes closed as she was disinterested in the current situation. She did, however, took a glance at Faust. His strength was noticeable to the people and his fame proceeded him. He will be without a doubt a huge obstacle to overcome.

The wild youth behind her also stared at him before sitting down. He didn't pull out his usual personality against such an opponent. Not only Faust was of a noble family, but he was also way stronger than him. There was no chance of him to flaunt anything.

"Chloe, the cold beauty, surely that was an understatement," shouted Faust.

However, the girl with a single curly hair on her cheek didn't seem to bother about it. She still closed her eyes as if nothing could bother her.

Faust had his mouth twitched, never did he had a woman treated him like this. He was the little brother of Gilvilar and he got his talent too. Women would flock against him with such traits.

"If I win the crown, how about it, will you be my wife?" shouted Faust once more.

Though he was brazen, nobody dared to refute him. However, Chloe still didn't respond to any of his shouts.

Dan Hufei seemed to not mind his action. In his point of view, it was normal for a man like him to have a wife or more.

Meanwhile, the principal had finished greeting the three overseers and sat down.

"Your student has quite the bravery to ask her out," asked the Mabia Academy's principal.

"Hahaha, why would he be scared to ask her out, a cold beauty is not that rare, Yozec," answered Khafai.

"My-my, the cold beauty from Mabia Academy sure had caught the tiger's attention. I wonder how will this develop? Or is she already have a lover? Ooo so many possibilities, I can't wait for a drama," said Sophia.

"However, all of that has to wait since here comes the underdog!" shouted Sophia as the last gate gradually opened.

The red uniform immediately stilled the Colosseum as Argeon led the team to the crowd. Not to mention their uniform, there was something wrong with the team.

Not caring what the crowd was thinking, Argeon leaped then greet the overseers before sitting on his own. It was such in quick succession that the other principals didn't even manage to comment on him. He was sitting there as if he was equal with the other four. Such as the skill of Nostria Academy's ghost principal.

Luna facepalmed before shaking her head at her ridiculous uncle. She then signaled her team to sit in the provided seats.

"Hey Chloe, it's the academy from your world, why are there only, four of them?" asked the wild youth in her team.

However, Chloe still had her eyes closed and didn't answer his question.

"Hahaha look at them, I think one of them was scared and ran away!" shouted Faust. His insult was soon followed by his fans that were among the crowds.

"Haha, what underdog? More like under trash! This is easy money!"

"Damn, why would they even join if they are weak, it would just shame them even further!"

"Hmm, I heard that Chloe was from their world."

However, their shouts and insult didn't infuriate them at all. The students in the spectator seat were also having a calm expression as if their insult was nothing but nothing. Luna and the team also didn't even bother to look at Faust at all.

The four principals looked at Argeon with interest but to their disappointment, Argeon also looked calm despite that.

"Well, well, well, the Nostria Academy seemed to have one less member for the competition, Principal Argeon, are you fine with just four members to compete?" asked Sophia.

"Oh no, we have five members alright, but he seemed to be a bit late," explained Argeon with a smile (Don't worry, I doubt he won't greet you first before me).

-----------------------

The gate of the world in Mabia suddenly had a visitor from within. The youth that stepped out asked the guards, "Where is the Crown held?"

One of them pointed at a certain direction before the youth vanished from their sight in a blink of an eye, "Hey wait!"

"Hehe, sorry, he is in a hurry, thanks for the direction," said a beautiful woman with orange hair before a golden-haired woman also stepped out of the gate.

The golden-haired woman immediately followed the youth before shouting, "Thanks!"

"Hey, wait for me!" shouted the oranged-haired woman before following her.

-----------------------

"Late? No way he is late! He must be too scared to co-!?" Faust's shout was suddenly halted.

Chloe's eyes suddenly opened up as she immediately stood and looked at a certain direction. Her actions caught their surprise as the usually cold and calm beauty suddenly restless.

One student from Nostria also stood up from their seat before being followed suit by his peers.

"W-what's going on, what are you guys doing?" asked one of the crowd.

"He's coming," answered Luna with a smile.

"Hoo, interesting," muttered Old Dan as he rubbed his beard.

Van furrowed his eyebrows (My Aethon, he is getting restless? Is it even possible?).

Argeon was grinning as he saw the other four principals furrowing their eyebrows. Standing up, he said, "Well, you wanted my fifth member, I'll give you one, but this guy, he loves to come in style (And beautiful woman)."

"Oooh?!" Sophia was clearly excited and curious about the last member from Nostria Academy.

Suddenly the clouds seemed to has darkened in an instant as a cry of a mighty being was heard. At present, nothing could beat it, not even Van's huge eagle.

A huge green-scaled dragon suddenly rose up to the sky just outside the Colosseum as it stilled fear to the people that didn't know what or who it was. The crowd was on the edge of their sits before the dragon suddenly turned and plunged itself toward the overseers with a large grin.

(So fast!) thought Old Dan as he reached out Sophia.

(Oh no, we are not going to make it!) thought Van as he also did the same.

Sophia was dumbstruck as the dragon's direction was clearly on her. She couldn't prepare herself, nor could she have the time to even close her eyes.

A soft tap was heard as a foot lightly landed on the left armrest of her seat before her chin was lightly pushed up with a hand. The intimidating atmosphere also instantly vanished and returned to normal as if nothing happened in the first place.

"Hello there beautiful lady, my name is Lyon, may I know what's yours?"

Before she realized it, she came face to face with the last member of Nostria Academy.
