The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 159: The Academy Tournament

After getting off the horse carriage, Duke Remy directly walked towards the academy gate.

"Hmmm, what's so crowded in front of that ? do you guys know anything?" asked Duke Remy to the soldiers escorting him.

"We don't know, Mr. Duke," said one of the soldiers escorting him.

"Then let me check it out for yourself, you wait here and take care of the carriage" said Duke Remy.

"But lord Duke, we must escort you, you are a Duke" said one of the soldiers.

"You don't need to escort me, after all this place is San Fulgen Akademiya and not some foreign place that has never been explored before. If you're worried that your commander will get angry, just tell him that I don't want to be escorted myself" Duke Remy said.

"But sir," said one of the soldiers.

"Nothing but-but anyway, I'm not that weak until I have to be escorted by you. See you then" said Duke Remy.

Duke Remy left the soldiers who were escorting him. He went to the academy gate and saw for himself what was happening there.

-

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen,"

"Greetings too, Your Majesty the Queen," said the people who approached Queen Kayana.

They all approached Queen Kayana to greet her and salute her directly.

"Thank you all" said Queen Kayana.

"I think there is something crowded like this, it turns out because there is Her Majesty the Queen. There's even Commander Oliver here" Duke Remy said.

"Mr Duke Remy" said Queen Kayana.

Commander Oliver bowed to see Duke Remy as a form of respect

"Master Duke ?!?!,"

"Mr Duke Remy from San Quentine?!?!," said the surprised crowd.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen" said Duke Remy.

"Thank you, Mr. Duke. I didn't think that you would come to this academy tournament. If you look, it looks like the Duke who is present in this tournament is just you," said Her Majesty the Queen.

"It looks like they have their own busy lives but I'm willing to put my work on hold just to see my daughter and niece compete" Duke Remy said.

"Oh yeah, did you just come here by yourself ? Where are your soldiers?" asked Queen Kayana.

"I told them to wait outside. I'm not comfortable with being escorted everywhere" Duke Remy said.

"You've always been a free man as always. Duchess Arnett is also not accompanying you?" asked Queen Kayana.

"Ah she does not want to come, she also has her own busyness. Her Majesty the Queen herself does not appear to be accompanied by Her Majesty the King either" Duke Remy said.

"Just like Duchess Arnett, my husband also has his own busy life so he does not want to watch this tournament" said Queen Kayana.

"Each of us is very busy" said Duke Remy.

Meanwhile, the people around who had originally approached Queen Kayana, began to approach Duke Remy.

"Ha-hello, salute, lord Duke,"

"Greetings respectfully too, Mr. Duke," said the men.

"Didn't you see that I was talking to Her Majesty the Queen ? How dare you interrupt my conversation with Her Majesty the Queen just for the sake of respectful greeting," Duke Remy said while wearing an angry expression.

Seeing that, the people who greeted Duke Remy began to look terrified.

"Have, already, Mr. Duke. They just want to say hello to you. There is no need to scold them" said Queen Kayana.

"Well, if Her Majesty the Queen says so" said Duke Remy.

"By the way, we want to go inside, do you want to come with us?" asked Queen Kayana.

"I wouldn't refuse it if you invited me. But you go first, Her Majesty the Queen, I want to talk to them first, it seems like they all want to say hello and talk to me" Duke Remy said.

"Alright, then we go first" said Queen Kayana.

"Please, Your Majesty the Queen" said Duke Remy.

Her Majesty the Queen, Commander Oliver and the soldiers escorting them also stepped into the territory of the academy.

"Luckily, there was Her Majesty the Queen, otherwise I'd have finished you here. I don't recognize all of you here which means you're just low-class nobles huh ? If you want to salute, do it now. Rarely do I receive a lowly salute from a lowly noble like you," Duke Remy said.

-

Her Majesty the Queen and the others finally arrived at the academy's lobby building. At the door of the lobby, someone greeted them.

"Welcome to San Fulgen Akademiya, Her Majesty the Queen, commander Oliver and the soldiers. Let me take you to the tournament area" said senior Vyn.

Senior Vyn welcomed their arrival while bowing and saluting. Then Her Majesty the Queen and the others entered the academy lobby to head to the tournament area in the middle building while being escorted by senior Vyn. Along the way, the people who saw Her Majesty the Queen immediately bowed and paid their respects to her, whether it was from the disciples or the other nobles who had come to the academy. Until finally they reached the 8th floor which became the tournament area. There, Miss Karina was already waiting for them.

"Welcome to this academy, Her Majesty the Queen. Sorry that I just got to welcome you to this place" said Ms. Karina.

"Thank you for the welcome, head of the academy. It doesn't matter if you want to welcome me where, the important thing is that you are still willing to welcome me" said Queen Kayana.

"In that case, let me take you to your special room first and take you to your special spectator bench" said Ms. Karina.

-

Time also showed almost 10 am, which is soon to start the academy tournament. The spectator bench in the tournament area was also already filled with spectators such as academy students, nobles and other important people. Queen Kayana and Duke Remy also sat on their special bench on the 10th floor.

When the time has shown at 10, suddenly Mr. Alan walked towards the tournament arena. When he was in the tournament arena, Mr. Alan began to speak.

"Good morning, everybody. My name is Alan Hugo. I'll be the host of the 1218 academy tournament,"

"Thank you to everyone present to watch this inter-student tournament. Thank you to Her Majesty the Queen who has always supported this event, it just so happens that Her Majesty the Queen is also present to watch this tournament so I represent the academy would like to thank you. Thank you also to the other nobles who helped and supported this tournament like the Duke and the others. It just so happens that master Duke Remy is present at the moment so I represent this academy also want to thank you,"

"As you know, every year this academy always holds an academy tournament to determine the best students in this academy.4 years of class will compete for the nickname of the best student. Of course, not only fight for the best nickname, they compete for other prizes. I will tell you what prize they will receive if they win this tournament. For champion 1, they will get 10,000 points and 500,000 Larx, champion 2 will get 5000 points and 250,000 Larx and champion 3 will get 2500 points and 150,000 Larx. For those of you who do not know, points in this academy are used by students to move up the class or as a condition of graduation. In addition, students will also earn points according to points in daily matches if they win every round in this tournament and they will not experience points deductions if they lose this tournament,"

"Tournament this year is divided into 2, namely tournaments for male students and tournaments for female students. The total participants of each tournament are 32 participants divided into 4 years of force, which means 1 year of force has 8 representatives. This tournament system uses a knockout system which means if participants in this tournament immediately lose in the initial match, they will immediately fall,"

"This year's academy tournament will last for 5 days. The first day is today for the top 16, the second day on Tuesday for the top 8, the third day on Wednesday for the top 4, the fourth day on Thursday for a place in the final and the last day on Friday is the day of the final of the academy tournament. For the guests from outside the academy, we have prepared a room for you who want to stay at this academy,"

"Until here's the explanation I can say, I'm sorry for my long explanation, then let's just start the tournament right away" said Mr. Alan.

Then suddenly a projection magic appeared around this tournament area. The magic was from an artifact owned by the academy. That projection magic displayed the match chart of this academy tournament. The chart is still empty, there are no names of the participants on the chart yet.

"As you can see, the match chart is already formed but there is no participant name on that chart yet. But take it easy, actually the name of the participant is already there but still hidden. Then let's start the tournament straight away from the men's tournament first. Who will compete in the first match?" asked Mr. Alan.

The spectators looked at the chart in that projection magic closely. The chart is slowly changing. The name of the participant who will compete in the first match on the chart also slowly began to appear until finally the name of the participant appeared fully. The participant who will compete in the first match of the male student special academy tournament is Vyn Laterza against Noa Sigisbert.
