9 THRONES

CHAPTER 128: FESTIVAL DAY

Vann got up early in the morning and hurriedly changed his uniform into one belonging to the elite disciples of the Wood Sword Academy, then he put on a rank 10 elite disciple token and carried an iron sword he had obtained from Horge before rushing away from his house.

Today was the day that the festival would begin, therefore all the students and teachers in the academy had become extremely busy since morning.

When Vann had just left his large but empty house, he found a man standing in front of him.

The man seemed to have discovered Vann's newly emerged presence from the door of his house, so he waved "Vann, you're really great! Fortunately you managed to survive after falling from the storm that I used on the pillar! If you died there, I would feel very guilty. But to my surprise, during the time I was healing my wounds, you managed to become a rank 10 disciple of the Wood Sword Academy! Your talent is too frightening, even though a few weeks ago you were still weaker than me!".

Vann was a little surprised, he did not think this person would come to Vann's place so early in the morning.

But not long after, a smile appeared on Vann's face.

He rushes to open the gates of his village before shaking hands with the person standing at the door of "Yazer, how are you? Is there no problem with your body?".

The one who came to see Vann this early in the morning was none other than Yazer, the figure who tried to escape with Vann from the pursuit of Thersa in the Pillar of Magma.

Although Yazer tried his best to get Vann to escape as well, he was unable to control the storm he used so completely that the tornado exploded and Vann separated from Yazer.

Vann had to fall into the magma crater in the middle of the volcano, fortunately he managed to stay alive and obtain the holy weapon spirit, Vermilion Blood.

"I'm fully recovered, the doctors who treated me said I could leave the hospital. As long as I don't fight, there shouldn't be any more problems with my injuries" Yazer said "After all, my goal in coming here isn't to snatch the position of the 10 strongest disciples of the Wood Sword Academy, I came just to watch you. I was interested in seeing directly wearing my own eyes and head, the legendary figure of the Mad Storm from the Wood Sword Academy".

Hearing his nickname given by the people in the academy, Vann smiled shyly. After all, the nickname of the Mad Storm was too excessive. Even though Vann was a little crazy and challenged a lot of people who became followers of Horge, but he should not be called as a crazy storm.

Vann waved his hand "That's just a nickname, I hope you're not disappointed when you watch my real strength later!".

"How could I be disappointed? For a Qi Gathering like me, seeing a Gold Core level power like you guys fighting is already very good" Yazer said.

As they were speaking, a shouting voice rang out "Vann, we are coming!".

Vann turned around and found the person who had come was Torte with Yun Tian.

Yun Tian's wounds were still heavy enough that he could not walk, now he was sitting in a wheelchair and Torte was the one who pushed him.

"Why did you come here? Especially Yun Tian, shouldn't you continue to be cared for?", said Vann slightly speechless, why are all his friends so excited just to watch Vann fight.

Though they were injured, but they still tried their best to come and watch Vann fight.

"I come or not at all is not an important thing" Yun Tian said, rolling his eyes at Vann's bitter face "Didn't the match start any minute now? Before coming here, Torte and I saw a lot of people rushing towards the academy arena, why are you just standing here quietly? If Vann does not come when his name is called, he will be considered defeated".

"I forgot about it!", said Vann who realized the people around were almost no more, they all went to the arena "Let's go!".

Without wasting any more time, Vann turned around and rushed away.

Almost all of the students and teachers in the academy had already gathered around the arena, those who came sooner managed to get a seat whereas those who were late had to stand up.

Although they might have to stand for hours, no one left because watching the academy's strongest disciple fight was a golden opportunity.

If they managed to learn something from the strongest disciples of the academy, their strength would definitely increase greatly.

Although most of the seats were full, there were some special seats such as the teacher seat and the academy head located at the top.

There are also 10 seats next to the arena, each seat has a number, everyone knows it is a seat for those in the top 10.

All the disciples stared at the academy's top 10 strongest disciple seat with shining and envious eyes, after all the academy's disciples were definitely aiming to become the strongest in the entire academy.

Therefore, the 10 seats that were beside the arena were their main goal.

Before the game started, Vann had arrived first.

He sat in the 10th rank seat and found that half of the top disciples had yet to come.

The seat that he had was currently ranked 9th, Gertias. Rank 2, Poris, as well as seats ranked 5, 7 and 8 which Vann had not yet known.

The arrival of Vann certainly brought a commotion throughout the arena, many people were staring at Vann sharply, they were all trying to take Vann's seat.

Gertias who was beside Vann smiled kindly, yet Vann could feel a strong feeling of coldness and threat from the friendly smile he showed.

While the seats ranked 2, 5, 7, as well as 8, they did not care about Vann at all.

Horge in the past though was not their opponent, so they considered Vann like an insignificant ant.

However many people feel Vann won from Horge due to luck, if Horge does not use the Sword Monster, Vann does not necessarily win.

A few minutes passed, the people in the seats of the top 10 elite disciples of the Wood Sword Academy began to appear.

Not long after, a shout sounded "See! Miss Atrea has finally come! The Queen of Birds, Miss Atrea has arrived!".

Vann gazed in the direction where everyone else was looking to find a female figure with long black hair and a cold face.

The beauty he had was no less than Guru Githa who was known as the most beautiful teacher in the Wood Sword Academy, but Vann only looked at him for a while and became disinterested because Vann felt, like, that, Luna is hundreds of times better than this woman named Atrea.

In addition, Vann knew some information also about Atrea, namely that he was ranked the 3rd strongest disciple of the Wood Sword Academy, Atrea the Bird Queen.
