The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 139 - Regret On The Stadium

"BOOM!"

It wasn’t the sound of someone’s fight nor was it me punching Xavier even though I had a great chance of doing that.

It was an explosion.

A huge explosion sounded as everyone unconsciously ducked their heads in fear.

Even Xavier stopped his shout and looked around him to see what was that actually caused it.

The first to respond to the sound were the teachers on the second floor. Harold and Thomas looked west above the stadium and saw a huge black smoke rising from that direction.

"What happened!" Harold said as Thomas got up from his seat and went closer to the edge to take a look.

Thomas calculated the smokes distance and his eyes widened, "The general direction of that smoke is near the queen’s castle!"

"What!" Harold said as he got up in shock.

To answer their question, the door to the stage opened and a soldier ran before them and saluted, "Sir, there’s a huge problem."

"What is it? Is it related to that explosion?" Harold pointed at the rising smoke.

The soldier nodded dreadfully, "Yes, sir. We got words that some cultists has attacked the castle a few moments ago and that explosion was their doing."

Thomas came forward, "How’s the queen?"

Harold gave a brief skeptical look at Thomas before asking himself, "And about the king, is he safe?"

The soldier went quiet as both men had terrifying thoughts.

"SPEAK!"

The soldier hesitated before saying, "We still don’t have any confirmation about them. We’ve sent people inside to check on them but so far we haven’t gotten any information back."

Harold looked down and tapped his clothes, thinking about the situation. He then looked up, "And what about the competition, are we to stop it now?"

The soldier shook his head, "No, I got word that the competition must go on but there are orders for both of you."

"What is it?"

"There are a lot of cultist coming towards the cultist and the order is for anyone capable and strong to assist the defense force. Both you and Sir Thomas is ordered to join them right this moment."

Thomas nodded to that but Harold was hesitant, "Both of us? But we two are the overseers of this event and more so we’re the strongest here. If both of us leave than what will happen if any cultist were to attack the stadium?"

"Well, command told me that they’ll send spare soldiers to the event but for now, both of you must attend the force."

Seeing Harold still being hesitant, Thomas pat his shoulder, "Don’t worry about the competition, Harold. With the soldiers that’ll be coming, I’m sure nothing will happen here."

Harold nodded, sparing a small smile, "You’re right… still for precaution, at least we’ll tell the spectators to leave the stadium. The fight can go on but they must return to their homes."

The soldier nodded, "Alright, sirs. I’ll tell the guards to evacuate the people and also tell them to be on extra caution for the time being."

"Yes, do that." Harold said before both him and Thomas went out of the stage and towards the castle.

…

"So it seems we won’t be fighting so soon after all, Xavier." I said.

Xavier who was preoccupied seeing the huge smoke, creased his brows and turned to me, "How did you know my name?"

Oops! I shouldn’t have said that.

In response, I smiled, "Someone as famous is known by many."

"Famous…" Xavier’s eyes darkened, "And who are you to know me?"

"Don’t get so cautious, you’ll get my introductions soon enough." I said before looking up at the seats.

The soldiers were evacuating the people. It was happening just like it was written in the novel.

An explosion occurring and after that the soldiers evacuating the people but did not stop the event itself… which was weird.

One of the fighters saw what the soldiers were doing and asked, "Hey… did something happen?"

"An attack occurred near the castle, some cultists had attacked her highness’s castle!" A soldier shouted down, making sure all heard it.

Everyone felt shock coursing through them.

"An explosion!"

"Attack on the royal family!"

"So cultists are running on the streets then?!"

"…But that also means that this competition is over as well, right?" Thinking that a guy asked, "So what happens to us?"

"Do we still fight or is the competition on hold?"

The soldier shook his head, "No, the competition will go on."

Shocked faces accompanied many as one said, "But even the teachers are not here, so who will oversee the event?"

"Don’t worry about that, just keep on fighting. When only one of you is left breathing, he will win that competition?" The soldier said and left the place, leaving behind bewildered faces.

"Is he joking?"

"Keep fighting only one of us is left alive?"

"Are we cattle to them that our lives don’t even matter to them."

"There’s chaos on the capital and they just left us over here."

Words of dismay and fear passed around before a shout stopped them.

"Stop talking like that!"

Everyone looked around and saw that it was the same spectacled guy who had rallied against Henry. He didn’t seem deterred as he said to them, "Why are you all talking like it is already over?"

"Don’t you know we already gave up our lives when we signed for this thing? The fact that not only did we pass the first test but also second one mean anything to you people!"

"My friends died on the evaluation exam!" He screamed, "But I didn’t give up! It’s because of them that I was able to pass on. DON’T YOU ALL FEEL THE SAME!"

"Didn’t your friends and countless others died hoping to reach this place! How can you give up when you’re so close to the end."

His words reached to everyone hearts and penetrated it. Everyone who had doubts and fear now looked on the ground in shame.

It was true that they had lost a lot of friends at the competition. Some even died while on this stage at their hands.

I looked at the quiet place for a moment before I waited for the call, "He’s right. We can’t give up."

A guy with blood on over himself said, "So what if they’ve left us for ourselves, it wasn’t like they were going to save us anyway. At least now we won’t be distracted by the crowd’s chatter."

"So why don’t we all have a fair fight to ourselves, yeh?"

"YEAH!" Everyone screamed as they found the strength to hold their weapons.

"What a bunch of idiots?" Xavier muttered, "Are they so stupid that they don’t understand the situation?"

I nod, "Well, even if they don’t find this suspicious… at least they could have taken the chance to kill off a few people."

"This is what defers you commoners from nobility like me." Xavier said with some disdain.

"Well, I’m sorry to disappoint your majesty but I too am a noble."

"Oh?..." Xavier’s face darkened again, "Well, let me correct that mistake."

Before I could retort him, I felt the atmosphere change around me.

The air around us suddenly got hotter and my body started to warm up quite fast.

’So he’s here.’

I looked towards sky as I said, "As I said before, today just isn’t the day for us."
