Morfeus Academy, City of Illusions…

"It is time to choose the best seedlings of Morfeus Academy!" The Deputy Academy announced from the balcony of the venue where five elected guardians sat lined up on the judges' bench.

Below them, on the side of the arena stage the size of a football field, the tournament participants lined up neatly, waiting for a decision.

There were nine groups of participants representing the nine guardians with each group consisting of ten people.

Evelyn stands alone as the only Asset Child of Nazareth Vox.

Xenephon stood on the other side of the balcony at the special place of the guardians who were not judges, staring at Evelyn sadly.

There is no encouragement team for the asset boy Nazareth Vox, thought Xenephon grimly. There is no team working together to share the fight!

Of course Xenephon was not worried that Evelyn would lose as the only asset child of Nazareth, however the girl already had a gold level badge even though her spiritual level had only reached fifteen. Plus the hundred-year-old chakra and the power of the copycat protective fairy core, it felt like she was pretty sure Evelyn would not lose. He was only concerned that everyone was booing the girl because she was a kara. Even his guardian left him!

That could be quite a pressure for Evelyn.

And that's what worries Xenephon.

Evelyn lost to herself!

"Will he be okay?" A female guardian by Xenephon's side looked at Evelyn with concern. Her name is Nyx Cornus, better known as Lady Corn. He was twenty-three years old, yet his appearance looked the same age as the students of the academy. Her face was soft and petite despite her body being wrapped in armor attacks.

"He's an Earth Thunder disciple," Xenephon whispered to the guardian girl.

Nyx Cornus was silent.

Nyx Cornus was a member of the Order of Angelos. One of the guardians at Morpheus Academy who knew the secret of Nazareth's other identity. No wonder young people are already guardians.

And as a member of the Order, the girl knew exactly what Earth Thunder was like on the other side of her life. Of course he did not doubt Nazareth's upbringing.

But alone bearing the burden of ten men, against nine groups, was Evelyn able to survive until the final round? nyx. He stared at one of the girls from his group of asset boys.

The girl is the captain. His name is Electra Dan. The attacking-type Spiritual Master beside level twenty. One of the best in Morpheus Academy. Someone Evelyn needs to watch out for according to Nyx.

After the Vice Academy read out a series of provisions that had to be obeyed during the tournament, the middle-aged man finally announced, "With this, I announce. Morfeus Academy Tournament is officially opened!"

The hall was thunderous by the loud applause and cheers of the students sitting on the bleachers.

"Now get ready!" The host takes over the loudspeaker and gives instructions. "The raffle chakra will soon be shared!"

A light-calling guardian got ready, mounted the horses, took out his spiritual chakra, then absorbed the light from various directions which then turned into two disc-shaped white halos of light and spread it to the center of the arena.

The two discs circled around the participants and one of them stopped above Evelyn's head, then settled down around the girl and tightened around her waist.

A moment later, the chakra dragged Evelyn onto the arena stage.

Evelyn shrieked in surprise and astonishment as the chakra finally loosened and dropped it.

Xenephon blinked and gulped.

Altair was flabbergasted in the line of the participants.

The next second, another chakra dragged a male disciple to face Evelyn.

"First fight one on one!" The show host announced. "Evelyn Katz, Asset Child of Nazareth Vox, against Gigas Knot, Asset Child of Arsen Heart."

The hall was again thunderous by the applause and cheers of the spectators, some of whom were dismissive.

Arsen Heart was the guardian who specially educated the owners of the monster protective elves.

"What a shit, Wild Grass!" scorned one of the female disciples who used to gossip every warm-up hour. "Show first against a powerful enemy!"

His group responded with giggles.

Evelyn glanced at Xenephon on the second floor. The man nodded in his encouragement.

"Fight begins!" The show driver gave a signal.

The Knot's Gigas jerked his hands at his sides with fingers forming claws, and instantly a dim white glow shimmered on the floor surrounding his feet that quickly floated up to his waist, then appeared his protective fairy, and, a wolf raised its head, opened its mouth and howled over the boy's head in the form of a hologram-like image of light.

Evelyn was still flirting with her favorite pose. Stand with one foot attached to the heel of the other foot. But unlike his flirtatious style when he wears a mask, here he puts on a serious face.

City Light…

The sun was shining brightly right above the head. Thin wind blows scattering heat that increasingly adds reluctance to do the activity.

Sweat flooded the Nazareth temple that was struggling in the blazing sun in the middle of an open field in a sloping valley in the back yard of Claus Manor, faced with itself to defeat each other.

Mikhail Claus doesn't make sense!

SLASHY!

Migi Vox sped with one leg raised to knee-high while the other leg extended backwards. His hand was stretched out on his side, while the other hand was folded in front of his face. His pair of brows were clutched, and a slanted smile was on its back at the corner of his lips.

Nazareth threw his fist towards the puppet which in an instant only pierced through empty air.

Migi Vox flew past his shoulder and blew a kick at the nape of Nazareth.

SLASHY!

Golden light gleamed from the impact which automatically made Nazareth stagger forward and almost fall down.

Nazareth lifted his legs and then tossed his body and calted in the air.

SLASHY!

Nazareth swept a kick towards Vox and instantly the puppet managed to fend him off with both hands.

BUGH!

Nazareth bounced backwards and landed in a squatting position. He's getting stronger, he thought.

This was the second day Nazareth trained with Migi Vox. And the power of the Migi Vox doubled. The more you practice, the harder Migi Vox is to control. The rope of light could no longer even snare the doll.

It is too late to give up, Nazareth thought while focusing his gaze on Migi Vox. I need to find a way to control it again.

The puppet grinned with a floating position in the air at shoulder level.

Nazareth was still crouching in the stance of the horses while looking up studying the puppet.

Mikhail and his wife watched them from the top of the hill on the edge of the field with both hands crossed behind his body.

Gavriil Claus sighed many times and shook his head. "This method has further strengthened Migi Vox" he said.

Mikhail did not react. Remain unmoved with a hard face.

Gavriil Claus is back. You can't use the light technique, he thought. Is that true?

Mikhail gave a condition that again made no sense. During practice, Nazareth is forbidden from using light techniques while Migi Vox himself is basically a being of light. This was clearly a physical fight against spiritual power.

Isn't that one-sided?

Especially since Migi Vox is also getting stronger!

Gavriil Claus sighed and gave up. Then move on.

Mikhail remained unmoved.

Nazareth lunged towards Migi Vox with a twisting kick in the air.

SLASHY!

Migi Vox again made a quick turn and circled Nazareth.

BUGH!

The doll pushed Nazareth's back with both hands until the man was ejected far enough away.
