Tournament Starts

Meeden, a prosperous kingdom with a vast territory. With dozens of cities, sects, guilds, academies, and military parts neatly arranged in it, making Meeden looks to be a kingdom that is so sturdy. But in fact, it is only an empire that has stood not for centuries.

Seeing this, the long-standing kingdoms felt a threat to them. Judging from its potential, conquering several kingdoms to expand its territory was also not impossible for the Meeden kingdom. Because of this, several great empires began to cooperate.

They recruited small kingdoms to be their allies, and conquered kingdoms that refused to join them. Their cruel times at that time made almost the entire kingdom of the Norless continent submit to them. With the territory that had grown so large, they were finally now known as the eastern empire.

News of the tournament being held by the kingdom had spread throughout the territory of the Meeden kingdom. Right now, whether it was adventurers, knights, academy disciples who came from outside the capital, had gathered in the royal capital to take part in the tournament. Surely these people have their own abilities.

With such an attractive gift for them, surely no one would want to miss this opportunity. Even if they do not win the tournament, they will still get a promotion to be in the frontline battle. Whether it was westernized or easted, it was an honor for those combat maniacs.

“Welcome to the participants of the tournament, thank you for your participation for the official event held by this kingdom.” A board official welcomed the arrival of the tournament participants. He also gave an explanation of the rules and systems in the tournament.

“Either why do each of them look so strong?” Iris muttered as she observed the participants of the tournament from a distance.

“Of course they are strong Iris. Each of them is a mainstay card from where they come from, so you should not underestimate or be careless when dealing with them.” Someone responded to Iris who was muttering.

“Deputy commander Lyn. Why are you suddenly here?” Iris was astonished, the vice commander usually very rarely appeared himself this time suddenly in a public place. “There's no harm in being in a place like this?

Raven is doing special training for Luna anyway, so the one holding the order right now is me."

Lyn Albert, she is a daughter of Albert's noble family. In the ranks of the kingdom's holy knight's strength, he was second, right after Raven. But in ability, he was the only one who could be said to be on par with Raven. But unlike Raven who likes to immediately intervene in handling things, Lyn prefers to move behind the screen. That's why he rarely shows himself, especially in public places like this.

“Deputy commander Lyn, do you think I will be able to compete with strong people like them? Regardless, their strength alone is equivalent to Luna's, and I can never defeat her even once.” Lyn rubbed Iris' cheek and spoke to calm her down. “Do not put on a face like that Iris, it will ruin your charm.

“Honestly, indeed with your abilities now it will be difficult to defeat them. But with the talent you have, defeating them is not impossible. Like me replacing Raven temporarily, you should also take Luna's place temporarily. Be an ace for holy knights in this tournament.”

“But, just by relying on talent, I can actually beat them?” Iris is still worried about this. Indeed he was extremely talented, yet there was something that could not be surpassed with just a talent.

“It depends on your will Iris. If you really want to beat them, then you can. I'll also train you if you want.” Iris was stunned to hear it. You could say this is a miracle, or maybe a gift for him.

After all, this was about Miss Lyn, the deputy commander, who was very uninterested in interacting with others. But now instead offers to Iris to give her training. “You're not kidding, are you, deputy commander?”

“Hmm, why should I joke. Training is common, right? After all, our special forces are also in my direct training. Or maybe, you've been exposed to a strange rumor about me?” Lyn asked in a suspicious tone. It really gave Iris goosebumps, her instincts saying that this person really should not be offended.

“B-not like that deputy commander. It's just..all right I'll follow your training.”

“Then please help him, deputy commander.”

On the other side of the tournament-focused kingdom, Kouta appears to be struggling with the tests of the defense hall elders. For the sake of awakening the seed of the hero within him, an extremely harsh training must be successfully put through. Not long ago he had also obtained a high-level saint wind spirit, in the spirit dwelling.

He had to face a fierce fight with the high-level spirit monsters, even he had to successfully exterminate them along with his cores. It was a very difficult thing, but Kouta managed to do it and as a result he gained immense strength.

And from this moment on, the next stage of Kouta's exam begins. The elders started talking about the Kouta exam earlier, they had finally gotten a decision.

“Kouta, for your next test. In order to raise the seed of the hero in you, you must also be able to become a leader. Then for the fight against the humans, this is when you will do it.

“Your next test is to lead an army to seize our eastern territory that has been controlled by the Eastern empire. The time limit is one and a half years. If you succeed, then you'll go on to the final exam, you understand?” The elders confirmed. In essence, his current test was referring to a war.

“I understand, elder. I will try to reach the best.” With his high self-confidence, plus his current surging strength, he felt that this would not be a difficult thing for him.

But who undergoes a special training at this time is not a Kouta. In a special dimension that could only be unlocked with the holy knight formation, Luna also obtained special training from Raven. It is training to make her a holy woman.

Since the beginning of Luna's holy energy was very large, then her skill in learning witchcraft was also very high. It was then that Raven thought that Luna could become a holy woman.

If he succeeded, then it would be one of the combat assets the Eastern empire had to reckon with. Because a holy woman can perform amazing healing and supporting magic. And as for melee combat, he's also very good, so there's no need to worry too much about his safety in war.

“For now you just need to focus on your training. For the problems out there Lyn will take care of it, for the tournament also Iris will definitely handle it in your place. Within a year and a half you should be able to obtain this power.” It was not a request from Raven but a command.

“I understand teacher. I'll do as you command.” Since being saved by Raven, Luna's life seemed to have been offered to her. So whatever the order is and how dangerous it is, he will do it anyway.

Raven also realized that. Although he still has an obsession to find his friend who disappeared without a trace in the incident 6 years ago, but when he met Ola the change in him was enormous. Perhaps he realized that what Ola was saying was just a lie, which is why he Luna decided to keep going.

In the end you are the one who will create change in this world, that is what Raven is thinking right now.
