Chapter 35: Arcana Primis Cup
Hal clenched his fists.
His entire being burned with excitement as he walked back to his dormitory room, pondering what was to come.
'Arcana Primis Cup...'
As per Deputy Headmaster Korvus, the Arcana Primis Cup is a grand imperial event where all young wizards under the age of twenty are allowed to join, which means that only those in their first or second year of studying the ways of wizardry are eligible, highlighting the budding talents of the empire.
New Magna Prospects would certainly emerge there.
And Hal himself, should he perform to such standards, could potentially be officially recognized as one.
He would then be able to catch up to Ennya by then, if only in terms of status.
Only, standing out would be almost impossible, as not only would the Grand Magic Academy's five-star students be in the tournament, but the personal disciples of retired Magnas and other old powerhouse factions would join as well.
Perhaps those crouching tigers and hidden dragons would be the more dangerous opponents.
Such a prestigious tournament...
Hal would've been satisfied with a slot in the elimination stage of the preliminaries, where the unseeded individuals would vie for a place in the Arcana Primis Cup's Main Tournament, so it was truly an unexpected yet welcome surprise for him to be given direct entry into the Main Tournament, courtesy of the Deputy Headmaster.
