The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 157: Qualifying for the Academy Tournament

Monday, at the first year's A-class training ground.

"As you know, next week the academy tournament is about to start. The members of Elevrad have also started to prepare and clear the tournament area. Not only that, they are also preparing for the academy festival as you can see on the streets around the academy has begun to build booths for food and others. Decorations have already begun to be installed throughout the academy,"

"Well we ignore the festival first, let's talk about the academy tournament. This tournament is not compulsory and only willing and selected students can participate. Are any of you in this class willing to take part in the academy tournament?" asked Mr. Alan.

The students who were willing to attend the academy tournament raised their hands. There were also some disciples who did not raise their hands sign that they were unwilling to enter the academy tournament.

"What you want to participate in the tournament of this class is quite a lot as well but you all can not participate in the tournament that will be held in the middle building," said Mr. Alan.

"Why, sir?," asked one of the disciples.

"Because the tournament to be held in the middle building only has a slot of 32 participants for the tournament between female students and for the tournament between male students,"

"Maybe Rid and the others who are members of Elevrad already know about the format of this tournament because they are members of Elevrad but let me explain the format of this tournament to those of you who do not know yet,"

"The format of the tournament each year is different. For this year's tournament, the tournament is divided into 2, namely female student tournaments and male student tournaments. Both have a slot participants of 32 participants of which 32 participants are divided from 4 years of force which means that each year the class is only selected 8 students who can follow it,"

"You must be wondering how to choose 8 students while those who want to join the tournament are very many. The answer is through qualification" said Mr Alan.

"Qualify?," asked the other students.

"True, a week before the academy tournament is held, there will be a qualifier to choose the students who will compete in the tournament. Since the academy tournament will be held next week while the qualifiers are held the previous week, it means that this week the qualifiers will be held,"

"Try raising your hands again for those of you who want to enter the tournament. I'll take note of the names of those of you who want to enter the tournament after that you will be qualifying for another first year" said Mr. Alan.

After that, those of us who wanted to enter the tournament started to raise our hands again. Mr. Alan then recorded our names on a piece of paper.

A few moments later.

"Then I will hold this list of names then hand it over to the head of the academy. I will also wait for other teachers whether they have made a list of their students who want to attend the tournament or not. Because the process is quite long, it looks like the qualification will start at noon. For now you are free to want to practice here, follow the daily match while it has not been closed or help the preparation of the festival, which is important later in the afternoon you return to this training ground. Then I'll go first" said Mr. Alan.

Mr. Alan left the training ground.

In the afternoon, at 2 pm.

We regrouped at the first-year A-class training ground.

"For male students who want to participate in the tournament in this class there are 10 people, while for female students who want to attend the tournament there are 9 people. Of these 19 people in total, have any of you changed your mind and not come?" asked Mr Alan.

None of the disciples were making a sound which meant no one changed their minds.

"Nobody changed their mind, okay then. For now we will wait for the other class students who will participate in the tournament as well. They'll be here soon" said Mr. Alan.

"Another class disciple will be here ?,"

"What are they here for?" asked the students.

"You ask what for ? of course to participate in the qualifying tournament," said Mr. Alan.

Not long after, the students from the other classes and their respective teachers arrived at the A class training ground. There were not many of them, it seemed that not all of them were present and only the disciples who were willing to attend the tournament were present. Then the teachers from other classes approached Mr. Alan.

"Nih Alan, the list of students who want to attend the tournament from my class," said one of the teachers who is a woman.

Other teachers also submit lists of their students who want to take the exam. Mr. Alan received the list and read it.

"Very few of them came from other classes. It seems they are sure that they can not participate in the tournament because the participant slot is only 8 people in each class. They don't want to waste their time and energy trying to qualify that they can't win" I thought.

"Means that the total number of qualifiers is 25 for male students and 26 for female students. Then we'll just start qualifying for the tournament, right away,"

"For his qualification, all male students and all female students will fight at once until only 8 students remain" said Mr. Alan.

"Fight at once ?,"

"The qualification will be like a battle royale?," asked the disciples.

"Yes, it's like that. To shorten the time, let's directly start his qualification from the male disciples first. For male students who want to participate in the tournament, please go forward" said Mr. Alan.

The male students who were willing to enter the tournament also advanced to the middle of the training ground one of them was me.

"Give the distance between you and the other students so as not to get too close" said Mr. Alan.

Then we began to put distance between the other students.

"Good as that. Are you ready to do your qualification?" asked Mr. Alan.

The students who were in the middle of the training ground were in a ready and alert position. They look wary of the students who are in front, side and behind them even though they have been given a good distance.

"Ready, sir," said the disciples.

"Then qualifying starts" said Mr. Alan.

All of the students who were in the qualifiers started attacking each other. But then there was one of the disciples who shouted in the middle of that qualification.

"Hey stupid, we don't attack each other right away. Our biggest obstacle to being able to enter the tournament is the strong students who are in A class. We have to work together to defeat them first and then we continue attacking each other" said the screaming student.

I don't recognize him like he's from another class. Hearing that, the other disciples stopped to attack each other. They then turned to look at Class A student one of whom I. After that, they started attacking us who were A. 4 class students, and they moved towards me to attack me.

"Throw you down, Rid,"

"You are the biggest obstacle for us" they said.

Before their attacks would hit me, I also prepared to launch an attack on them.

"I'm grateful that you came to me at once, because I also had to reduce the qualifying participants to 8 people remaining" I said.

A few minutes later, the qualifications for the first year male disciples had already been completed. The 8 students who survive in the qualifiers are eligible to participate in the summit tournament to be held on the top floor of the central building. I, Charles, Enzo and Noa qualified with 3 people who were A class students named Glenn, Troy and Ciaran. And there were also 1 B class student who had successfully qualified. Kotaro did not qualify because he was not sure he would be able to enter this tournament.

Then after that, the qualification for female students began and a few minutes later the qualification was declared complete. Irene, Chloe, Julie, Lotta and Lucy qualified and were eligible to enter the tournament representing Class A, while the remaining 3 came from class B where Lillian was included in the 3 students from class B who escaped it. Leandra and Lily did not qualify because they decided not to participate in the tournament. If they managed to qualify for the tournament, they were afraid of being scorned by many people because many people would watch the academy tournament including the nobles. Well I can't force them if they don't want to come along.

"8 participants from the first year who will participate in the tournament between male and female students have been determined. Your name will be immediately registered as a tournament participant. You just have to wait for the match chart and see who will be your opponent in the tournament. Because the tournament will still be held one more week, you still have time to prepare and train to get stronger during the tournament. Is there anything you want to ask again about this tournament?" asked Mr. Alan.

The disciples no one spoke any omens no one wanted to ask.

"Nothing is it ? if you want to ask, you can ask me for class A students and your respective teachers for students from other classes. Since no one asked me now, I ended the qualification for this tournament. With this, the tournament qualifiers I consider to be finished" said Mr. Alan.
