The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 158: A Confidence
The next morning, at the first year's A class training ground.
Irene and I had just finished training at the training ground.
"Hey Rid, do you think that I can now win the girls' academy tournament?" asked Irene.
"Hmmmm. Other than first year female disciples, I have never seen the strength of other year female disciples. Maybe only Amelia's daughter I've seen her powers because she fought in person. So I can't assume if you're strong enough to win any academy tournaments yet,"
"Well, if you want to win this tournament, you have to be sure first. I also did not know the strength of the other year's male disciples. Although I had previously fought senior Vyn, but I was sure that back then he had not expended all of his strength. But even so, I'm sure that I can still win this tournament. If I manage to win this academy tournament, other people will have no doubt about why you chose me as a couple" I said.
"What do you mean, Rid ? isn't there no doubt about me and you being a couple anymore?" asked Irene.
"It was only in the academy. You are the daughter of a Duke and you were also previously a participant in ~Matchmaking Battle~ with princess Amelia. If you suddenly get a partner in the academy, it is certain that news will also spread outside the academy. In the academy tournament, many people would be watching. Not only the other disciples but also the important people and nobles. They must have come to the tournament to find out who is currently your partner. They will definitely judge if I am indeed a worthy person until I can become the partner of a Duke's daughter. If I manage to win this tournament, others will realize that I am very strong and do deserve to be the partner of a Duke's daughter even though I do not have noble status. Even though our relationship is just pretend, we have to make others think our relationship is real" I said.
"That's it, your words make a lot of sense, Rid," Irene said.
"I'll make sure I win this tournament and make other people not doubt me for being your partner" I said.
"In addition, the people who are after me right now may think of me as weak. If I manage to win this tournament, they will definitely rethink aiming for me. Well even though they'll definitely keep coming after me later, too" I thought.

Several days have passed and now the day has changed to Sunday which is 1 day before the academy tournament starts.
In the main room of Elevrad.
Although today is a Sunday which is a holiday, we who are members of Elevrad still gather in the room to discuss about tournaments and festivals.
"Good work all of you, before we have finished the preparation for the academy tournament and this time we have also completed the preparation for the academy festival" said senior Vyn.
"Finally we can relax and focus on the tournament" said Gretta.
"The tournament starts tomorrow at 10 a.m. Maybe around 7-8 am people from outside the academy have started to arrive. I might still be able to greet them at that hour but if it's past 8 I won't be able to welcome them. Because I'm going to attend the tournament so I'll wait in the waiting room of the participants, so can't welcome them. For that reason, since you two are not in the tournament, I leave the welcome to you, Sophie, vice-chairman," said senior Vyn.
"Well, chairman," said Florian senior and Sophie senior.
Please note, many members of Elevrad will participate in the academy tournament. For the fourth year, senior Vyn, senior Gretta and senior Alisha decided to enter the tournament. For the third year, senior Darryl and one female senior decided to enter the tournament, while senior Florian and one other female senior decided not to participate in the tournament. For the second year, Amelia's daughter, senior Nadine and senior Vanina decided to enter the tournament, while two other seniors who are women decided not to participate in the tournament. For the first year, all members decided to participate in the tournament. Because all the members of Elevrad who decided to participate in the tournament successfully qualified, then participation in the tournament was ensured.
"We as first-year members seemed to feel guilty because we all decided to go to the tournament. Even though there are seniors who do not participate in the tournament" said Charles.
"Look easy, prince. We do not forbid those of you who want to participate or not in this tournament. Even if all the members of Elevrad were to enter the tournament there was no problem. Indeed we as Elevrad are assigned to make preparations for tournaments and festivals but for the implementation, the academy will take over. Miss Karina and her staff will take care of this. We are also allowed to help them when we are free, like Sophie and the vice-chairman, I told them because they will not participate in the tournament. So those of you who are the first year do not need to feel guilty if you all decide to participate in the tournament" said senior Vyn.
"That's it, thank you for your attention, senior," Charles said.
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's academy tournament, Rid. But I hope I didn't meet you at the start of the game. It would be better to fight you in the final but that's if you can reach the final" said senior Vyn.
"Just calm down, senior. I'm sure that I'll get to the final of the tournament and win this tournament. Even if I meet you at the beginning of the game, I'm sure I'll win and win this tournament" I said.
"You're very confident" said senior Vyn.

The next morning, at the academy gate.
Many horse carriages began to arrive at the academy. The horse carriage was boarded by the nobles and other important people who were in this kingdom. Although this tournament was allowed to be watched by outsiders of the academy, only nobles and important people could watch the tournament. If ordinary people were present also to watch, it was feared that the available spectator benches were not enough to accommodate them.
As the nobles and important people got off their horse carriages and started walking into the academy territory, suddenly came a luxurious horse carriage escorted by many warriors. The carriage stopped right in front of the academy's gate.
"That horse-drawn carriage isn't it ?!?!,"
"All of you step aside, make way for Her Majesty the Queen" said the people who were there.
It turned out that the luxurious horse carriage was a horse carriage owned by Her Majesty Queen Kayana. Knowing that, the people who were originally on the road to the academy territory, started to pull over to the curb. The soldiers who had previously escorted the horse carriage, started moving and moved to the front door of the horse carriage. Then a middle-aged man opened the door of the horse carriage. The door of the horse carriage opened, Her Majesty the Queen came down from the carriage. Her Majesty the Queen is currently wearing her royal dress. He wore a crown on his head and held a cane in his right hand. The wand he was holding was not an ordinary stick, but a magic wand. Her Majesty the Queen also began to walk towards the academy region with the escorted soldiers around her. Meanwhile, the people who had previously pulled over to the side of the road, began to bow and pay their respects to Her Majesty the Queen.
"When only watch the tournament, but why do I have to wear clothes like this. Just bother," said Queen Kayana.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty ? The dress is the Queen's dress of honor, it is appropriate that you should always wear it when traveling to a place so that you can show your authority as a Queen" said a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man followed Queen Kayana behind him. He was sturdy and quite muscular, he also carried a sword at his waist. The uniform he wore was different from the other soldiers that surrounded them.
"Stop that, Mr. Oliver. What is the duty of a supreme commander of the kingdom to arrange the dress worn by the Queen?" asked Queen Kayana.
The middle-aged man who was with him turned out to be the Supreme Commander of the Kingdom of San Fulgen, Oliver Stabile.
"I'm sorry, Your Honor," Commander Oliver said.

Meanwhile, another luxurious horse carriage arrived in front of the academy's gate. Although the chariot was not as luxurious as the one mounted by Queen Kayana, it was still luxurious. The horse carriage was also escorted by several soldiers. The uniforms of the soldiers escorting the horse carriage looked different from the uniforms of the soldiers escorting Her Majesty the Queen. After descending from their respective horses, the soldiers immediately rushed to the front door of the luxurious horse carriage. They were seen marching on the right and left to provide the same escort as the previous soldiers had done to Her Majesty the Queen. Then one of the soldiers opened the horse carriage door. A man wearing glasses got off the horse carriage. His appearance was very young even though he should have been middle-aged.
"It's been a long time since I came to this academy.it seems like nothing has changed since I last came here,"
"I decided to come here because my daughter and my niece are going to this tournament, so I have to see both of them play. Also, I had to monitor Rid Archie at the tournament myself to determine what we should do next" Duke San Quentine, Remy Laterza San Quentine, said in a statement.
