Chapter 345: Architecture Of Illusion
"Um... Carl won." Davy said in surprised, not expecting the battle to end so quickly.
Davy forcefully cleared his throat to reset the tournament’s heavy atmosphere.
"Okay everyone, let’s see the next round." He said, his words snapping the audience from their shock, and disbelief.
The massive screen above the arena violently lit up, rapidly cycling through the surviving roster’s variables until two names finally locked into place:
"Rose from the Dragon Academy, and Blade from the Eagle Academy!!" He said.
Blade calmly stepped forward, his hand resting respectfully on his hilt. From the Dragon Academy’s side, Hitachi, whose eyes rarely bothered to acknowledge the existence of those beneath him, narrowed his gaze.
"Be careful... That guy is not simple." He said, his words stunning not only Rose, but everyone present, for Hitachi to warn someone, it means the opponent wasn’t weak.
"I will, thank you." Rose nodded, and stepped forward, standing before her opponent. She walked past the shimmering ward, her boots clicking against the pristine white stone.
"Begin!!"
Blade bowed his head at her, and Rose nodded in acknowledgement. The formal duel etiquette of the high empires was still deeply ingrained in them, despite the brutal stakes of the fifth round.
’With the information I got, this guy is a Knight...’ Rose thought, and lowered her gaze to the sword in Blade’s hand.
’But why would a knight only hold one sword? Does he have double bloodlines?’ She thought.
