Chapter 12: Expectations
The healers helped those two...well mostly Hero and they took them to the Health rooms. The rest of the duel continued without any problem.
In a room, 45 Judges watch battles through the display and after the battle between Kayden and Eli, they don't know what to do because Kayden clearly used the High-Level Spell which was impossible to use by the Star Heart Rank. One of the Judges said,
"That Kid has high Mana capacity" and some of them started praising,
"hasn't he?"
"Yes, to think 6-Star Ranker used the High-level spell which can be used after reaching Domain Rank"
"hah...hah This year going to be interesting"
"Yes, Heros from the Two Kingdoms and Dragon King's children, Vampire Queen's daughter, Elf Queen and Saintesses from the Chola Kingdom. So many geniuses...haha"
"I think New Era is going come"
"Maybe he is suitable for my daughter"
"hah..hahh"
'chatter'
"You are not looking at this clearly, aren't you? That Brat clearly activated the inscribed magic circle on his sword, that was.." a Middle-aged man looked at others confused and puzzled about this, 'Why are they praising him instead of disqualifying him?'
"We know what are you trying to point out? That was not against the rule and he was the victim here, so he has every right to do so" one judge rebuked.
"You want us to ask justices for that soulless kid?"
"Remember what Nex created for? Not for some soulless bunch" they told him with an annoyed tone.
"If you really want to do it, then why didn't you stop the battle?.....aah...Tell me?"
"Well, I thought...hah hah I guess, that kid deserves it" the Middle-aged man awkwardly laughed, 'sighs..going against the hero of the Theos Kingdom and maybe future king if possible' he thought about it and was frightened.
"Spinless.."
"Coward" They provoked him.
"Hahh....Hahhh"
'chatter'
"Now that brought about him, what are we gonna do with him?"
"Yeah, right... he has one of the Dukes' token"
"Should we put him in the Nex?"
"hmmmm..."
"Tsk, we already have a few soulless in Nex and that person's disciple is about to battle. Eli or something does not belong to any Duke, so why don't we just disqualify him and took the token"
"Well, we did hear the report and.....we have to show some respect to the token holder; whether he is duke's disciple or not; stole it or not, it's the duke's responsibility to safeguard it"
"Yeah, that Rule-93: Treat grateful and respect to the Token Holders no matter what kind of person who holds it..., wasn't it?"
"That's right"
"Sigh...then just put him in the subdivision"
"Yes, that will be perfect"
'chatter'
While few maintained the silence throughout this useless talk.
*****
After patching up Eli's face and body, the Healers let him rest on the bed. Eli woke up after a long time with a little bit headache and after some time, he looked and touched his both arms and was astonished, "I never thought it before but Healing Magic is really a miracle".
After noticing the ring was not on the finger, he hurriedly searched his inner pocket and sighed in relief.
Then he looked around and saw some other injured candidates resting but he cannot find the green-haired guy 'He is a Hero so maybe separate room....' with that thought he left the health room and wearing the same old shirt which was now sleeveless.
"My dear trident...sigh" As he walked towards the battle area, he thought about the creature who bit off his right arm along with the trident, "I never thought this kind of thing is possible, I guess I still lot to learn" mumbled.
The battle is still going so he waited for the result. After a few hours of battles were finished, the announcer said loudly,
"Among 148612 Candidates, 20135 have Passed. Please check your Candidate number on the display; Passed Candidates take a rest in the hotel and come again tomorrow morning here"
As numbers were shown on the displays and Eli searched while his heart beat a little faster, 'Why my heart beats faster? I don't care whether fail or pass...hmmm...I guess unknowingly I have expectations'
After finding his number, Eli smiled and looked around and saw, some of them had Joyful tears and others Crying sadly; 'In the end, everyone is crying' he thought with a little bit sad smile and left.
<Next Morning>
The same announcer said with a smile, "Good Morning, Look at the Display when your number is called you have to go to the counter over there"
Eli same sleeveless dress with no weapon looked at the stalls, 'what the? did they change this again? how?' he was astonished as he thought how they were able to change everything overnight.
After his number was called,
"Eli from the Dawn Kingdom, age 21, Commoner, Soulless, and Token holder, right?" without looking at him, the Middle-aged man asked while typing in the computer.
"Yes" Eli simply smiled.
"Attempt to attack after surrendering is certainly a violation of rule even if the victim says no....." the middle-aged man now looked at Eli with disdain.
and continued, "But you are a Token holder, so we have to be a little bit lenient towards someone like you. You will not enter the Nex..."
Eli didn't say anything, just looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.
Seeing this kind of response, the middle-aged man sighed and said ".....you will be entering Division-1 academy which is under the Nex"
"You should be grateful for entering Division-1 academy" the middle-aged man said with disgust.
"Thank you, I am really grateful for letting me stay" Eli said with a grateful smile because he knows what he did was completely his fault, so he must face the consequence.
The middle-aged irritated and said, "Tsk, you must be lucky to have the token...anyway here, this is the uniform and textbooks for the next 4 years in the Division-1 and SI Phone" and then professionally he said,
"Welcome to the Nex Academia"
