Chapter 416: Revealing Ebony and Ivory.


    “The top 15 students will be representing Calton magic school in a regionalpetition that would be held in the capital.”


    “The other 5 magic schools would be taking part in thepetition which would not only determine the best school in the empire, but also the top students of the empire.” Principal Lovren said.


    There were 5 regions of the empire; the north, south, east, west, and the capital which was at the center of the empire. The capital cities of each region had a magic school, which students from different cities in the region could attend.


    “Does anyone have info on the other schools?” ke asked.


    “All I know is that for decades now, the magic school at the capital has always been dominating the regionalpetition.” Damon said.


    “That’s not information at all.” ke facepalmed.


    “I will give you all a detailed reportter today.” Luciano said in a serious tone.


    .....


    “You have 3 days to make preparations for thepetition.” Principal Lovren said. “Lastly, all students of the elite ss would apany the top 15 students to the capital and cheer for them.”


    No oneined about it because not many had had the opportunity to see the magnificent capital, and they also wanted to find out if ke, Luciano, and Damon would keep dominating or were just local champions.


    Just like Principal Lovren said to them nothing else was happening so after informing them about the regionalpetition they left.


    “Why did none of you mention that there arepetitions at the end of every final semester?” ke asked with a raised brow.


    “The regionalpetition is held every 3 years. Thest one was held a year ago by thest final year students before this set. So we were expecting to have graduated before that.”


    “So I am as shocked as you that they decided to move thepetition to our set instead of thest set at 500 level.” Damon said.


    “Howe I didn’t hear about the previous regionalpetition?” ke asked himself but Brian was quick to answer.


    “Because you were not always in school and you didn’t have a life outside sses and your room.” Brian answered.


    “Fair point.” ke nodded in agreement.


    It had been years since ke knew he had close to no life outside school, but he wasn’t bothered because he had a goal and he didn’t belong in Infinite realm.


    “Is itpulsory we participate in thepetition because I don’t care who the best student is or what school is?” ke asked as he stood up.


    “It is amand by the emperor so it ispulsory that all those involved attend thepetition.” Luciano said.


    “The winner of thepetition is rewarded with an artifact and many other prizes.” Damon said piquing ke’s interest.


    “Since it ispulsory, I guess I would have to win it then.” ke said to the group as he left the hall to his room to begin making preparations.


    ...


    A few hourster, Luciano had given everyone a report on the students of other magic schools.


    It turns out that currently, the capital magic school was ranked 1st, the southern magic school in 2nd, the northern magic school 3rd, the eastern magic school in 4th position, and finally the west atst.


    The eastern magic school was previously 3rd thanks to Xavier Karius’ outstanding performance, but thest set to attend the regionalpetition performed poorly causing them to drop in rank.


    As ke continued reading the report, he found out that the other schools weren’t like theirs. Their top positions were entirely dominated just like the 2nd years before they were demoted.


    “It seems no one was able to foil their ns of crippling the growth ofmoners.” ke thought.


    [Apart from that, this region is most likely the only one that makes things fair for both nobles andmoners, thanks to Bryon being the counselor of the region, so I am not surprised.] The system said.


    ke moved over to the power level of students in each school and was quite shocked by the power level of the capital.


    Just like Calton city which currently had only 3 students in the mid-tier of the Hero realm, the capital had a total of 5. That was aplete team!


    “Family background truly matters a lot.” ke thought.


    Tarius the capital of the Synder Empire was home to the main families and leaders of the top 3 families. They were the ones that called the shots and distributed resources to all the branches of the empire.


    The descendants of the top families carried a purer bloodline, giving them ess to not only more resourcespared to the others, but also top-tier family techniques and teachers.


    That was why even though ke’s high cultivation speed was attributed to the system guiding him, they were still able to keep up.


    “With the info, we just read, what do you think are the chances that I would win thepetition?” ke asked the system for its opinion.


    [Considering the fact that they have more resources, most likely better training and possibly artifacts from their families. Thepetition is most likely going to them if you rely on your skills.] The system said.


    The major advantage ke had over others was having an additional element, but ording to the system’s analysis, the passive advantage like increased mana capacity increased mana control, and so on was not enough.


    He needed more active abilities like the space abilities but he couldn’t openly use them.


    “Guess I would have to show them the power of my own artifact.” ke said as he looked at Ebon and Ivory which were in their Haiti and Skoll form.


    [Are you really nning on revealing ebony and Ivory to the public?] The system couldn’t help but ask because up till now the only people that knew about Ebony and Ivory were Castiel and Brian.
