Chapter 424: End of first day of regionalpetition.


    Not only did the door possess light arrays that would undo their concealment, but among the many arrays it had was one that would let those inside see the room see what was on the other side.


    This meant there was no way that anyone would be sneaking up on those protecting the g.


    “I will deal with this.” ke said as he walked in front of the double wooden door of the sr room.


    (AN: For those who don’t know, the sr room served as a kind of parlor to which the family of the owner of the castle could retire from the bustling activities of the hall below.)


    ke didn’t bother disabling the array because the moment he stepped in front of the door, those inside should have sounded the rm.


    Instead, ke opened the door to see 2 peak hero realm ash corpmanders standing side by side with the golden g behind them.


    Immediately, he threw out 2 void daggers at the ash corpmanders, but the speed of the daggers was nothing special. So they decided to dodge it since they had no idea if they were explosive or had something even more deadly, but this made ke smile.


    .....


    Void shift!


    2 spatial tears appeared, which ke thrust his hand into and grabbed the ash corps at the back of their head before electrocuting them causing a golden barrier to protect them.


    “They always fall for it.” ke said with a smirk as he walked up to the g and pulled it out of the ground sleeve.


    “The winner of the 2nd castle is team 1 of the east!” The voice of the announcer was heard from all parts of the 2nd castle.


    With a winner being announced, the rest of thepetitors in the 2nd castle were as good as eliminated. So everyone was warped back to the center of the arena where the hundreds of thousands of people in attendance cheered at ke and his team’s performance.


    At the same time, nobles and even counselors began looking into ke’s background because how he took out 2 peak hero realm ash corpmanders was suspicious.


    Although at this level few students could cast dimension magic, ke had done it too smoothly, making a lot of them suspect that he had the space element.


    In less than 5 minutes everyone had gotten ke’s file. ording to the info they got, ke was able to cast dimension magic thanks to his talent for dimension magic and the void daggers that were given to him by Hoffenheim.


    This made a lot of them lose interest, but when they read about his achievements in both school and as an adventurer many felt threatened.


    It was the first that they heard of amoner dominating the school at which the emperor’s son was in, and if care was not taken there were chances that he would dominate the regionalpetition.


    They had no problem if another region except for the capital won the regionalpetition, but for amoner to be the reason was uneptable.


    This was because it would improve Prince Bryon’s power in the counsel, meaning morews and rights would be created in favor ofmoners.


    ke needed to be taken out or dealt with, but the question was how?


    Not only did they have less than 48 hours to do so, but they were sure that Prince Bryon would have surely made ns to protect his prodigy.


    ...


    Back at the center of the arena.


    No one had a clue when the other groups would be done, so ke and his team were taken to the cafeteria for refreshments.


    It was after close to half an hour that every team was finally done and the results were called.


    Although teams that didn’t get the gs were eliminated, they were still graded on how far they got in the first exercise. This method was to make it easier for every region to have a total grade.


    The team exercise was graded in 4 parts. The 1st and 2nd parts were getting past the outer and inner wall into the courtyard.


    The method of the entrance didn’t matter, nor did the finesse behind any method, all of them were 1 point each.


    The 3rd part was getting to thest floor without triggering any arrays. If the team reach thest floor undetected by the ash corps, they would get 1 point. If not it would half a point.


    The 4th and final part was getting the g which was another point.


    So in ke’s group they were leading with 4 points, in 2nd position were the Nystrom family with 3 points, and in 3rd ce was the team 2 of the capital with 2 points.


    It was just a few minutes after they had gotten into the castle that ke had grabbed the g, leaving them with only 2 points.


    As for the rest, they hadn’t made it past the outer wall, leaving them with 0 points.


    In group 1, Lucas’ team got 4 points, team 1 of the west 2, and the rest which included Brian, Tessie, La, Esmeralda, and Ansgar didn’t make it past the outer wall.


    In the final group, the 1st team of the south came in 1st position with 3 and a half points because they had activated one of the arrays while fighting with team 2 of the east.


    It was a close battle especially when the ash corps had joined the fight, but in the end, they got their hands on the g, ending the exercise.


    2nd position was team 2 of the east whichprised Dustin, Michelle, Cami, Haldor, and Owen. They got 2 and a half points


    This put the east at the top of the table with 6 and a half points.
