The alarm in our break room sounded. We are all getting ready for the day, challenging this Carlania academy tournament.
Our preparation, first was to expel the male disciples to go out of the room, after which we alternately used the rest room bathroom to clean our bodies. To be clear is a shower.
After finishing, we put our academy uniforms back on, luckily the materials used for our clothes were resistant to dirt, making these unwashed uniforms still worthy of our use. After that, we left the room, letting the male disciples do the same as us.
After all the students of Class A, had finished cleaning themselves. We immediately went outside the hallway, towards the arena. It was still early morning, because that arena was currently still quiet, there were no spectators at all. Even the participants from the other classes, no one had come out of their hallway yet. The advantage of our meager participants, was this preparation time, we finished faster than any other class.
Not long after, the other grade disciples came, entering the arena.
The reason we entered the arena at this time, was because of the instructions from our instructor, who told us to gather into the arena. Honestly, Instructor Jhon did not tell us the reason why he told us to gather. When I pressed him to tell me why, he just said.
"Tomorrow. You'll know for yourself."
For almost five minutes we gathered in the arena, probably because of a strong sense of competition. No conversation took place between the other classes.
"Hmm...? Isn't it time the tournament goers would come? Why is this clock not here yet?"
When my brain is distracted, by thinking about something else. I realized one thing.
Flag capture game, is a team game, which is usually an arena used has a large area, almost one square kilometer. The average distance of the arena for a flag capture game is usually 600 square meters.
From here alone, it would be impossible to hold a tournament in an arena whose size was not up to 200 meters which was where we gathered now. Will the tournament be held elsewhere? And the reason why we were gathered here to be escorted to the arena where the match was held? For both of these reasons, it also explains why the spectators have not come, because the second round tournament this time is impossible to be held here.
Proving my guess was correct, the instructors of each class came from the hallway of each class. They come with a special device that seems very heavy to be carried with both hands, also from the expression of the instructors who seem to be in distress increasingly indicates that the device they carry weighs tens of kilograms.
The three instructors who came, put the devices they brought on the ground.
After the three instructors came, the medical team came shortly after.
Immediately, our condition was checked gradually, starting from checking our blood pressure, stress level, fatigue, injuries, body temperature and heart frequency. Also the medical team brought a device that I did not know what was the use of, but after hearing a remark from one of the medical members, I immediately knew the function of the tool.
"All participants were shown not to use doping, as well as other banned chemicals undetected from their bodies."
Apparently the tool used was a chemical checker in our body. If Dani is still exposed to Coca's chemicals, the device will definitely detect it, putting Dani in danger. Fortunately I have overcome that.
I was intrigued by someone's reaction when I heard that, I secretly glanced at Michael.
"Alright, let's see how he reacts."
The reaction from Michael was not what I expected, he had a flat expression, as if neither surprised nor interested in the words of the medical members just now.
Looks like my plan to get rid of Michael sooner failed. Also, it was very good that his poker face, he could not let out the slightest expression upon hearing that.
At least he could let out a slightly annoyed expression, knowing the plan to accuse Dani of failing.
"Hmmm...?"
After I noticed, her expression was not completely flat, she had a nervous, frightened, depressed expression. Why did he put out such an expression, didn't he hide his cheating so well? He shouldn't have to put out such an expression.
"Now his expression has changed... His expression was like that of a soldier who wanted to enter the battlefield."
Even though I knew the emotion of the expression he gave off, I didn't know the reason he gave out such an expression. Seems like... There are more serious problems than his plan to take down this failed Dani... Well, whatever the case may be, it's none of my business.
I shifted my focus, to the device brought by the three instructors.
The device makes an electrical sound, then a blue light appears.
Like life, the device they put on the ground moves, drifts into the air, then the device forms a triangle, a moment later, the device gives off a bright light that blinds our eyes, reflexes we all close our eyes.
Instantly...
"Wooooooah!"
The sound of the audience screaming sounded.
Opening my eyes, I found myself on a long highway, to my left and right there were abandoned buildings, also on the sidewalks of many worn, unkempt vehicles.
"Must be a teleportation device." I said, after analyzing the situation.
Almost forgot to remind, the current members of the other classes that had come together with us in the arena before were gone. The ones that are now are members of my class, namely Natasha, Dani, Raihan and Alexandria.
Also, from earlier there was a round device hovering in front of us, the device showed a hologram screen, the sound of the audience cheering I heard when moving here came from that device. Right now, the device was showing a group of spectators sitting in a grandstand, which obviously was not the tournament stand on the first day yesterday.
"aaa... Ahem, there's been a slight rule change." The screen suddenly changed, showing the host. "Initially this second round of tournaments, it has special rules as a handicap for class A that has the fewest members. But now the rules are changed."
"Huh?" Say everyone in my class simultaneously, with a confused expression.
"The initial rules of the game, each team will send five members in one team, but the rules were changed. Any class of more than five people may send team members up to a maximum of 8 people, and 4 reserve people."
"The fu's... He's serious!?" Said Dani, with a staggering face, startled.
Not only was Dani shocked, but everyone present was shocked as well. Including me, who slightly widened my eyes.
"Jhon Structure... It's different than what you told me." My protest, inside my head.
With the number of B class students, who had 12 people, and C class who had 18 people, it was clear they could compete with the maximum members, plus they still had enough members as reserves. As for us, not only cannot compete with the maximum members, we also do not have a reserve member.... This... It's not fair, is it?
Did the academy deliberately make us lose?
"It seems, class A is really at a disadvantage from this rule change." Speak the host, with a tone that indicates pity. But his expression that showed a wide smile, really did not give such an impression.
Obviously he was very excited about this rule change...
While it is clear that we are being harmed by the rule change this time, we cannot do anything about it. The protests are useless, the match will start soon. All we can do is accept the situation.
