280 Chapter 280

There was a saying that someone's trash is someone else's treasure.

But it seems, it is also held true for the saying someone's heaven is someone else's hell.

After Lucas dropped the bomb, at first Vanessa was too shocked to speak to the point that she remained frozen for a few moments, scaring the shit out of Lucas and Leonard who thought that she might have had a heart attack.

However, as she recovered, Vanessa showered Lucas with hugs and kisses filling him with love and congratulating him happily with tears.

She looked genuinely happy for Lucas' success.

But.....

It seems it was only true in the case of Lucas as Leonard was subjugated to an immense round of beating and brutal assault. It did not leave any wound physically but it mortified his soul engraving it with fear.

Lucas managed to catch his father asking his help to save him and came to know about how his father cut the TV cables and lied about him getting out in the first round.

He always thought that his mother had seen him till the third round and would be proud that her son was able to remain till that point but now that he knew the truth, he gave his father the 'you deserve it' look and asked Vanessa to punish him severely and left the house to walk off leaving the grieving and screaming Leonard begging for mercy.

Lucas jogged in the frosty winter. The temperature was a bit better but it was still below 8. The snowfall decreased a lot and the roads weren't piled up with snow and became good for travel.

"This town is a bit weird. Except for my community brimming with people, other areas are too sparse. I rarely see a hoard of people outside this community."

Lucas trailed to a park after running around and swiping off the ice on a swing and heating it with a mini fireball, he sat on it emitting a soft cry.

Lucas took out the pen drive given to him by Ami and lodged it into a laptop. The pen drive had a folder of each group of participants.

The Inter Academy Battle Cup wasn't limited to one species only. Humans would be represented by five academies.

Horizon of Cyprus.

Cavalier of Silver Knight…

Radiance Academy of Ralphs.

Nexus of Principal States.

Saint Freya of Holy Nation.

Besides humans, there were also Sylvan Star Academy of Elves, Ironclaw of Dwarves and Stone Blood of Orcs.

The other races are mostly United and have one academy. In the end, it is a fight between academies not between species.

Many times in the past, the academy participants had also been represented by other species due to mixed heritage…

The Princess of Ralph was also entering the tournament and she was someone to watch out for as she was designated as next-generation Archmage.

Sadly, that scum Prince of Silver Knight who tried to molest Julian was a year older than him and their team didn't face Horizon last year as they were defeated in the first round by Ralph who also won the tournament.

Lucas then looked at the rules.

"The rules of the tournament are really weird," Lucas muttered, scratching his head.

Before the fight, each participant would fight a Demon kin of his level. It was like an appetizing starter to increase the excitement of the audience and introduce each of them.

After that will be the beginning of the team battle. The 8 teams would draw lots and fight according to pairing.The source of thɪs content is ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

In the first round faceoff, it would be best of two out of three.

Each team sends a student. Each member of the team will fight and the one team that wins two rounds out of three will advance to the next round.

In case of a tie, the extra participant or reserve player will fight to decide the winner.

However, here is the pinch. In the very first round, the first participant of the academy who wins can decide if his team proceed with the next match engaging in the best of two or if the team would be considered as winning and advance to the next round.

It was like a privilege for the first win.

The rule was bullshit and unfair which was enough to crush the hopes of the Academy if a member lost the first match.

That won't even have the chance to turn things around.

As Lucas remembered it started because everyone sent the weakest member first which in which battle dragged on leading to a dull display.

This went on until it annoyed a tyrant who was bored of seeing dull matches until the Semi-Final.

"So, the Emperor and audience of that time were bored because people fought quite conservatively to save their power so they came up with this weird rule that would force the team to throw their best player from the beginning. And with the sword of elimination on their throne, everyone who had gone all out since the beginning. It will also eliminate the weaker teams from the very first round as each team are now forced to send their strongest member."

"And by chance, if your luck is bad and you encounter the strongest team, then you can blame yourself."

Lucas who was going through this suddenly heard a commotion from afar.

He put back his things and went to look around.

On reaching out of the park, he saw people gathering there and looked at the wall eagerly as if there was a grand announcement.

Lucas grinded his way through the crowd and finally caught a glimpse of a poster seeing which his body froze instantly.

It was a warning message along with an announcement.

[There have been Orcs spotted across the border of the North East. The Lionheart Clan guarding the borders has relayed the order to invite the mercenaries to help. You will be rewarded handsomely for the support.]

[Also people are asked to remain careful and stay indoors in case an Orc sneaks in through the border. Avoid going to the wilderness, particularly during this period.]

"What's happening now? Seeing this notice I don't think it's a minor conflict."

"Yes, the situation might be quite tense if they are asking mercenaries for support despite the number of troops stationed here."

"Fighting in such cold weather, I can't even imagine it."

"But why are the Orcs loitering around here?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's because of the food. They often create disturbances. Fortunately, they have never breached through the borders."

Lucas heard the discussion with a solemn expression.

The situation wasn't like what the people thought. Things are gonna become quite dire. The winter this time was quite harsh as we moved upper to the region of the world.

The borders had been frozen and the Orcs Kingdom's situation was way worse. Orcs weren't good at farming and the harsh winter destroyed everything.

And they resort to hunting in Winter which is quite difficult now and wasn't enough to fill up their stomachs.

However, they persisted but this time the Winter over the Orc Kingdom was so harsh that finding prey was quite difficult as the prey became quite scarce in winter.

And as they moved towards Cyprus to hunt, they found the temperature less harsh than their home and under the manipulation of a certain someone that Human settlement gave grains and food, they would attack borders thinking it's easy to get food.

Lucas turned back and left with a dry smile.

"I wish I had more time to enjoy alas…."

Lucas raised his head towards the sky and murmured with a strong conviction,"It's time for Crimson Heart to take the stage."
