My Space-Time System

Chapter 421: Start of the regional competition.

One of the main reasons commoners were afraid of nobles was because they could go after their family, but Blake had none in infinite realm. So he had nothing to fear.

When the top 15 students of all 5 magic schools of the empire arrived, they were assigned to platforms that raised them to the center of the arena.

‘I wonder how large the empire really is for it to be night in the capital.’ Blake thought as he saw the night sky. They had been teleported to the capital 3 hours after noon, but the time was past dusk in the capital.

The arena was 3 times as massive as that of Calton city. It could easily contain more than nine hundred thousand people.

Above hundreds of thousands of seats was a VIP section for nobles. Unlike the area for the commoners, this area had luxurious padded seats, and in front of these areas were large holographic screens that displayed the action going on at the center of the arena.

Above the VIP section was a single row of luxurious booths with opaque glass that prevented people from seeing what happened inside.

The booths were for important nobles like the top members of the top families, and top members of top organizations like the adventurer association.

.....

At the center of these booths were those of the highest level of luxury meant for the counselors and the Emperor.

Not only did the screens of the luxurious booths display everything happening below, but they were reinforced and could take Peak demigod realm spells without leaving a scratch.

“These are the 75 students that will be taking part in this year’s regional competition!”

The crowd in the arena let out rounds of thunderous applause.

‘I wonder if the emperor is watching.’ Blake thought without daring to look at the Emperor’s booth.

“Just as always, the regional competition would be testing the team strength, survival skills, and individual strength of our 75 competitors.” The announcer said.

“The event for today would be a team capture the flag event. Teams from all regions would be randomly put against each other to capture flags in the heart of 3 castles protected by ash corps.”

“The first team in each of the 3 groups to capture the flag would advance to the survival stage.” The announcer said.

For higher chances of winning, every school had grouped their top 15 students into 3 sets. Rank 1 to rank 5 was the first group, rank 6 to 10 was the second group, and so on.

So all that was left was the random selection that would pick a team from the 5 regions and assign them to one of the 3 castles.

After the announcement was over, the random selection immediately began. Team 1 of the capital was paired alongside team 1 of the west, team 3 of the east, team 3 of the north, and team 2 of the south.

Blake’s team, team 1 of the east, was paired alongside team 2 of the west, team 2 of the capital, team 1 of the north, and team 3 of the south.

Team 2 of the east was paired alongside team 3 of the west, team 3 of the capital, team 2 of the north, and team 1 of the south.

‘Remind me of who is the most dangerous in the north.’ Blake asked the system.

[That would be the Nystrom twins who are ranked 1 and 2 in their school. They both awakened the light element, while their secondary elements are fire and water.] The system reported.

‘That is a very dangerous combo.’ Blake couldn’t help but admit it.

Right from the champion realm, the lumomancers could create illusions, but the Hero realm of the water element had the ability to create illusions using mists. This meant both of them could take down teams without the opponents knowing what hit them.

Once the random selection was complete, all the teams of each group were warped outside of the prepared castles located in different parts of the capital.

“The capital is a beautiful place to live in, but I doubt it is my style.” Blake said as he saw the beautiful skyscrapers.

“What is the plan?” Serhan asked.

In front of them was a 25000 square foot castle which had both outer and inner walls with towers and members of the ash corps.

Not only were they defensive weapons like mid-tier magic cannons, but the walls were also reinforced with arrays that prevented them from breaking through.

“Most of the ash corps on the outer wall are champion level while a few are Hero level. So with Damon and Castiel, going over the wall is not the problem.”

“The main problem would be when the other teams join the fray.” Blake said.

All 5 teams were positioned at different sides outside the castle, to make sure they don’t go attacking themselves right from the beginning.

After 5 minutes of their arrival at the outskirts of the wall, the announcer gave the signal for the competition to begin.

Once the signal was given, Blake and his team vanished from the sight of the ash corps on the wall.

Fire!

The commander in charge of this side of the wall knew about the darkness element and how deadly it was. So he wasted no time in instructing the ash corps to start firing at the area in front of them.

BOOM! BOOM!

Explosions rang all around the area outside the castle walls, but even after 3 minutes straight of randomly firing there were no casualties.

‘Curse these kids they are going to make me look bad in front of the emperor and the counselors!’ The ash corps commander cursed his bad luck for being assigned to the wall that had 2 shadow walkers (Hero realm of the darkness element).
