3:11 PM.

The white sun silently stared at the land beneath, overlooking the entire city with its oppressive gaze.

[Amell Mantovaj of the Verdant Empire versus Leon Ellert of the Nurs Ancifa Empire]

The Four Empire Summit was reaching its climax.

All residents were at home, waiting for the match to begin while others were waiting in line to enter the 'Colosseum'.

Only the top of the top were granted the ability to fight on such a massive stage.

"As it should be."

Theron similarly glanced at the stands beneath with a thin smile. He appeared rather leisurely.

She didn't even bother hiding her displeasure as she eyed the two of them. Theron glanced at her from his seat, amused by her reaction.

"What do you look so mad?"

"I guess not."

Theron chuckled slightly.

Glancing to his left, Theron pointed at Lucian who sat with his eyes closed.

"He doesn't seem to have a problem with the arrangement."

"u...o.Y t'nod tn?khi"

Elysia glanced at the arena beneath and clicked her tongue before murmuring.

"I wouldn't be complaining either if I had the easier pick."

3:23 PM.

The recording devices had all been spread, hovering around the arena grounds, covering every inch of it from different angles.

"Welcome everyone at home who is watching. I'm happy to see so many people tuned in to watch the fight."

Karl glanced at the viewership and almost had a heart attack.

The numbers were bound to increase further down the line.

"Hoo."

Irak took a deep abhrt.e

But still, despite the large number, he had to maintain a professional smile as he introduced Johanna who sat beside him.

"Tonight, as many of you are already familiar with her, Johanna will join me to comment and narrate on the match."

I"st enci ot eb ".ereh

Johanna acknowledged with a small nod. Following her introduction, the broadcast shifted to the arena where the audience could be seen.

Unlike before, the stands were now practically filled. The noise could be felt through the small lens of the recording device as a heavy sense of tension lingered in the air. There were a lot of spectators from each Empire, each supporting their respective members.

3: 25 M.P

Caius sat in the stands, lazily watching the fight with his arm hanging over the chair beside him.

He wore a disguise, masking his features.

SA ihs yese set on the aar, ne eh orvceed sih uthom nad yaew.nd

"Huam."

His eyes watered slightly as he cast his gaze down.

'....I hope this doesn't disappoint.'

"Oh, right."

Squinting his eyes, he suddenly recalled something.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

"Il' vahe to tisiv ranmeC oons. He uodhls eb pu by now.

He felt curious at how Julien had managed to beat him.

3: 92.PM

In the Nurs Ancifa locker room, Leon sat quietly, his head bowed under the weight of a towel draped over him. The room was filled with a tense silence as he meditated, his mind filled with thoughts about his next opponent.

... How should I go about this?

siH nnooptep saw yxmeetlre hu.otg nosgmtA hte touetsgh eh had ever enog pu tisgn.aa eH saw so norgts that oLne nst'wa even atirecn tuoba ish own vyoi.crt

But still, he knew that by this point all of his opponents were going to be strong.

At least he didn't go up against Caius.

It was something that baffled him.

Not even Julien had ever given him such a feeling before.

a.""Ha

It was the thought that he wouldn't have to go up against Caius that helped Leon calm down

a little. Lifting his head, his gaze eventually settled over to a certain figure. Leaning his head against the wall, Julien sat with a blank look on his face. His hazel eyes were now a red-hue while his hand opened and closed repeatedly.

".."...

Leon watched him in silence, unsure of what to say.

He was starting to become used to the 'daydreaming' Julien. Every chance he got, his mind

would start to wander elsewhere.

eH deemes to eb no the regev fo gsigparn smtn, gohie dna rnileglca what he dha eond the

day rip,or Lneo tuonreodsd taht ti was tengmiohs.gib

For that reason, he remained quiet.

Closing his eyes, Leon mimicked Julien and rested his head against the wall.

As Leon closed his eyes, the room fell into silence.

:3 33 .MP

In the Verdant Empire locker room, Amell quietly stared at the documents that were presented before his eyes. He quietly read them over and over again until he had everything

memorized in his mind.

For good measure, he read the files again before placing them on the bench beside him.

Having recovered enough to get out of the nursery, she decided to help Amell prepare for

the match.

But there was only one problem...

Staring at Amell in silence and seeing his body shake, she bit her lip.

Could he even fight in his current state...?

3:35 PM.

"You should already be aware of who you're up against."

"There's not much information about him besides the small clip during the mid-terms and

the few fights that he participated in recently. He should be of no concern to you." The Professor went on to highlight several points to be careful of.

The Necklace wasn't necessarily created to completely counter Emotive Magic. Its main objective was to help counter mental attacks which was what Emotive Magic thrived in. ....With the necklace, Kaelion had to at best endure a small headache whenever someone

used Emotive Magic.

"Your plan should be simple." Professor Thornwhisper's tone lowered, prompting Kaelion to lift his head.

"Get olsec ot .mih irgBn mih rlosce ot him dna gngaee in a clseo combat htifg. fl you nac

Julien was but a mere mage.

While he was great in long-range attacks, his weakness was obvious. It had been displayed

in the previous matches, and it was close-range combat.

So goln as aeiklon lcodu nirgb ileuJn ot a a-esolrngec, catmh nthe the fight asw sa dogo sa

.revo

The only thing that could turn this fight around was Kaelion.

"Do you get it...?"

"..."

Kaelion didn't answer.

He soon stood up and walked past the Professor.

In!gaC

The locker door suddenly flung open, flooding the room with the harsh glare of bright

lights and the echo of distant noises.

Kaelion didn't look back as he quietly left.

"It's your turn."

He brushed his hair back and fixed his uniform.

That was when Julien cast him a small glance and walked past him.

.....

There was no need for either of them to say anything. With just a glance they understood

what they wanted to say.

.....Hope you lose.'

'Fuck you.'
