Chapter 188: Colzen vs Eusford: Final Match Begins!
The people from Eusford Academy didn't know what to do.
Their representative, Abegail Fury, was unconscious and couldn't surrender.
In addition to this, since the battle was only between their simulated avatars, her life wasn't really in danger so until the blue dome determines that she "died" then the slapfest shall continue.
Fortunately for her, just a few moments later, the system finally determined that she died due to excessive slaps and was transported out of the dome in an azure ray.
Materializing outside the dome, Abegail regained her consciousness and looked around.
The last thing she could remember was that she was slapped for the fifth time then nothing after that.
Realizing that she might've been slapped to oblivion, Abegail looked at the huge holographic screen with a distressed and panicking look.
Sure enough, in the instant replay, she was slapped until she died, and the bastard who captured the replay even made sure to zoom her face in with every slap.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!!!"
Ultimately, Abegail couldn't stand the mental torture anymore, feeling that she was going to go insane if she didn't let her boiling rage out, hence, she charged toward Ian who was descending from the stage with a contented smile.
Fortunately for her, the Eusford representatives arrived on time and restrained her from doing anything outside the match.
If things progressed without anyone's intervention, then Eusford would've been disqualified.
As they walked towards the Eusford ringside seats, Harper and another Eusford representative supported Abegail, who was visibly shaking, traumatized by what happened to her.
This was the first time in her life she suffered such humiliation and would probably scar her for a long time if not for a lifetime.
Naturally, seeing their daughter suffer such dishonor, her parents, who were high-ranked adventurers and were watching the match from somewhere, remembered Ian's face and name.
If they encountered him in the future, then they would teach him a lesson he would never forget.
Unbeknownst to Ian, he already made a few enemies.
That was for the future though, right now, Colzen celebrated as they tied the score up 1-1.
Upon returning to Colzen's ringside seats, Ian was met with high-fives, fist-bumps, and words of praise from his teammates.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to relish in the feeling of his victory as the referee, with the same old stern look on his face, walked towards the middle of the stage and pressed a specific button on the jar.
This time, although the same blue holographic screen appeared, it didn't contain words but single-digit numbers from one to seven.
Then, after multiple quick number rotations, it suddenly stopped, displaying the selected number of participants for the next match type.
'Four representatives on each side huh? I guess that will have to be me, Sieg, Wendy, and David…' mused Shye as he glanced at his teammates.
After a quick talk, Kiin, Harry, and Ian didn't argue much and simply agreed to let the four of them handle the last match.
After all, the three of them already had their turn.
In addition to this, two warriors along with one mage and one priestess seemed to be a solid combination.
Just when they were about to finish their strategy meeting, the familiar azure rays shot out from the grid of the blue dome, shooting straight towards four individuals donning pristine white academy uniforms along with gold capelets on their backs.
The four chosen representatives of Eusford Academy, with fury written all over their faces, had arrived onstage and were glaring straight toward the Colzen ringside.
Seeing their ugly faces, Shye, Siegfried, and David couldn't help but chuckle as they slowly ascended the stage with Wendy.
"What a turn of events folks! What a scorching hot match!! The score is currently tied at 1-1, the academy that wins the next match shall proceed while the other one shall exit. Eusford has never been pressed this hard by a dark horse before, will they fall here?! Will Colzen pull a massive upset against one of the three kings?!"
The commentator's vibrant voice once again reverberated in the entire arena, casting a magic spell on the crowd's hearts, making them almost fidget in excitement as they waited for the third match with bated breaths.

More than a century has passed since one of the three kingly academies has been dethroned.
It would be a treat for everyone present should they witness a historical moment today.
What made the match even more interesting was the fact that Eusford and Colzen seemed to have developed a brand-new rivalry that didn't exist before.
Their representatives stared daggers at each other while waiting for the match to start.
Seeing that everyone was ready, the referee didn't make the crowd wait for more than necessary and announced the start of the match.
"Begin!"
*BEEP*
After the beeping sound from the control panel, the huge blue wall preventing both sides from interfering with one another sprang out from the middle of the stage as thousands of kobolds appeared out of nowhere in different shapes and sizes.
'Ahh old friends…' Shye reminisced.
Seeing the familiar faces of the kobolds made him recall his nightmarish experiences alone in the somber labyrinth and he couldn't help but slightly smile.
'I really survived that huh?...'
He knew that he had time to reminisce since Wendy was here and although the barrier would probably break this time after continuous attacks from the kobold captains, Shye wasn't fazed.
He was already familiar with the attack patterns of these kobolds and was confident that none of the Eusford representatives knew the characteristics of the kobolds better than he did.
Thus, realizing that they had a few minutes before the barrier broke, Shye decided to annoy the Eusford representatives.
The four of them took out their signature sleeping bags and relaxed as they waited for the kobolds to break the barrier.
"C-C-C-Colzen!!!! Audacious!! They dared to do this even against one of the three kings!! This has turned into a full-blown rebellion!! They are determined to dethrone the kings and take their kingdom for themselves!!!"
