Chapter 246: Dignitaries

Date- 27 Mar 2321

Time- 10:05

Location- Sky Blossom City, The Sky Blossom Card Stadium, VIP box no1

Amy and Cortney’s fight ended a lot sooner than the time limit set by the tournament with Cortney’s overwhelming victory over Amy. It seems if Cortney wanted to, she could have killed Amy even before she surrendered.

Amy’s match was an eye-opener for me. It seems I can not underestimate Cortney any longer because the monstrous strength which she displayed to destroy Amy’s flame elemental exceeds the strength of a peak Card Lord realm. From what I can see the strength displayed by Cortney is also not her complete strength as she did not even summon her grimoire while killing the flame elemental and pushing Amy out of arena bounds. If Cortney’s normal physical strength can rival the peak Card Lord then real strength is a bit alarming for me. No wonder she was so confident about killing me.

Soon the results of the first rounds were announced,

Win: 2points – 60 Contestants

Draw: 1points – 300 contestants

Lost: 0points – 60 Contestants

When results of the first round were very poor, out of 210 duels held only 60 duels ended with clear victory but the other 150 matches just ended in a draw. Most of the participants had high realms and good cards compared to their peers but they lacked combat experience to make spot and precise judgement for victory in their duel. No wonder the audiences were enraged, they paid 300$ for total BS.

The second round will be conducted among the contestants with 2 points. As for the rest, they will fight for their ranking on the young heroes list another day. The second round had the same rules as the first round but since this time the contestant was less in number the duels will no longer be held in sets. The stadium also shortened 40 arena stages to 30 stages.

The second round of the tournament will commence at 10:15. Van and Fred had already contacted me informing their successful venture in capturing the A-rank Boss Monster Stone Troll and will be soon arriving at the back entrance of the card stadium with the subdued boss monster. According to them, it took 9 mins to complete the A-rank gate dungeon raid with their second calamity transformation.

Excusing myself I headed to the back gate of the card stadium as my next opponent for the second round was already determined and was also received a message containing the info for my next duel in my grimoire,

[ Round 2, Arena 15 Dalton Wyatt Vs Kimble Wang]

Kimble Wang, the contestant who vanished his opponent with a finger gun, his duel was more like a scary magic show with the disappearing act gone wrong than a card fight. Josh Bent, Kimble’s last opponent, his whereabouts are still unknown even though Kimble claims that Josh is dead.

“Master” I did not have to wait long at the stadium back gate as Van and Fred soon arrived with the stone troll turned stone viltronian. Collecting the stone viltronian in my monster orb, I head to the VIP section with them.

Time- 10:05

Location- Southern Region, Southern Academic city, Teleportation Port.

“Welcome your highness, I came as soon as I heard you were arriving.” A stout old man bowed to two luxuriously dressed figures that just appeared on the Teleportation array.

“Why are you here? I already informed the Port keeper that we would like to attack less attention and work incognito.” The older man of the two men that appeared on the teleportation array yelled.

“Your highness with your popularity, how can you possibly attract less attention?” Hearing the man, the stout old man trembled in fear, he knew his colleague had trapped him, giving him half the information. He was only told that two important figures were coming from the central region but the message did not have any information that the dignitaries did not want to be disturbed. Old man’s years of experience told him that pointing the blame would only anger the dignitaries so did what he was best at, ass licking. Instead of trying to point the blame, the stout old man decided to flatter the dignitaries.

“Fine, since you are here anyway, teleport us to the Sky blossom city.” The Old man’s flattery worked like a charm and helped him less the annoyance of the dignitaries towards him. As for his colleague, he will pay him back a hundred times soon.

“Sire, that is not possible.” The stout old man answered with great caution as he knew that all these nobles from the central region were pompous and did not like to hear no.

“Why?” Instead of the older man, the younger one of the two dignitaries asked arrogantly.

“Your highness, the South region is a backwater region where a teleportation array between important locations is a luxury not to mention teleportation array to low-level cities.” The stout old man explained with great caution and chose his words carefully. Unlike the Central region where the teleportation array is used as public transportation in the southern region, the teleportation array was a luxury.

“What? Then how are we supposed to reach the city on time? Won’t that brat be dead by the time we reach there?” The young dignitary yelled at the stout old man who did not understand what the young man was speaking about.

“Brandon watch your tone, speak respectfully to your elders. Port keepers’ realm may be lower than you, he is older than you. apologies.” The old dignitary was very displeased by his companion’s behaviour.

“But great uncle…” Brandon did not seem to approve of his great uncle’s teaching.

“You still dare to quibble. It is because of you younger generation our family name has a bad reputation outside. I have repeatedly asked my sister not to pamper you guys but she does not listen. Apologise now or head back home.” Seeing his nephew argue the older man thundered.
