The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 162: Round of 8 of the Academy Tournament
The atmosphere became silent, there was only the sound of the fall of the remaining wall debris that collapsed onto the floor of the tournament arena. While the spectators were only silently shocked, they were speechless. Mr. Elgin was initially surprised as well, but he could not shirk his duties as match referee. Seeing Marco had fallen unconscious, Mr. Elgin immediately announced the results of the match.
"The male student special academy tournament match between Rid Archie and Charlos Roa, won by Rid Archie" Elgin said.

In the waiting room of the fourth year.
"Waw, looks like Rid managed to make a scene again. This time he defeated a third-year student with just one strike" said senior Gretta.
"He was not stopping to make a scene, yes, he used to beat Amelia in daily matches" said senior Alisha.
"Yes, but ~Dragon~ Breath Freedom huh ? It seemed like he was deliberately using an attack that had its Dragon element. In this academy, the disciple related to the Dragon for being able to create the Dragon from magic is only you doang, chief. Indirectly, it seems like Rid wants to challenge you also in the tournament this time," said senior Gretta.
"I'm happy, which means we both want to beat each other. When viewed from the chart, I was on the left while Rid was on the right. The chances of us meeting are in the final of the tournament. I'm sure that Rid can reach the final of the tournament and after reaching the final, I'll beat him in the final of the tournament" said senior Vyn.
"You're very confident, chief. When viewed at the girls' tournament, Alisha and I are also different sides of the chart, which means that Alisha and I will meet in the final as well. This time I will definitely beat you, Alisha," said senior Gretta.
"You're pretty sure you're going to get into the final, Gretta. Self-confidence can sometimes bring disaster. It's not just me and you who want to go to the final and win the championship. Always remember not to underestimate others, especially our juniors" said senior Alisha.
"Calm down, I know that" said senior Gretta.

Back to the tournament.
The rest of the staff began to arrive to take Charlos to the treatment room. Meanwhile, I was still silent in the middle of the arena. I felt a lot of aura of displeasure directed at me. It seems like those who showed that aura were those who knew that I was currently dating Irene. They're not happy about it. But from the many auras of displeasure directed at me, there was one extremely powerful aura of displeasure. It was more like an extremely dense aura of hatred, there was even a killing intent that I felt from that person. The one who displayed that aura was a bespectacled man sitting next to Her Majesty the Queen.
"I don't know who that person is but judging from his clothes, it looks like he's a high nobleman with the title Duke. If he is a Duke, then the reason he wants to kill me is to continue the show ~Matchmaking Battle~. I'm gonna ask Charles, Chloe or maybe Irene later, like they know about that guy," I thought.
I also walked away from the tournament arena to the first year participant waiting room.

Then the match was resumed and now is the last match for female students in the top 32. This time it was Julie's turn to fight and get a second-year female student. Julie managed to give a fierce fight to her opponent but in the end she lost this match. The academy tournament match for today is over.
"The last 32 matches in today's academy tournament have been completed. The last 16 matches will resume tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. The spectators were already allowed to leave the arena of this tournament. For spectators from outside the academy who want to stay at this academy, can go to the lobby to ask for more information to the staff there. Thank you for attending today and see you tomorrow" said Mr. Alan.
The top 32 matches had already been completed with the remaining participants being the most from fourth year disciples whereas the fewest remaining participants were from first year disciples.
After saying the closing sentence, Mr. Alan left the tournament arena. The audience also began to leave.
"I'll say yes, Her Majesty. I have to go back to my home. Tomorrow I will come here again" Duke Remy said.
"You're not staying over, Mr Duke ? The journey from San Estella to San Quentine is a long way away. Don't you want to say hello to your daughter first?" asked Queen Kayana.
"I decided to go home now so that it wasn't too late when I got there. Not too far away, only 2-3 hours away by horse carriage. And I said hello to my daughter during the break" Duke Remy said.
"I see, then be careful on the road, Mr. Duke," Queen Kayana said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Queen," Duke Remy said.
Duke Remy left the tournament.
"Do we go straight home now, Her Majesty the Queen?" asked Commander Oliver.
"No, I want to meet Charles and Chloe first. I haven't seen them in a long time" Queen Kayana said.
-
Moments later, one of the academy's staff came looking for Charles and Chloe. The staff told her that Her Majesty the Queen wanted to meet Charles and Chloe. Hearing that, Charles and Chloe asked us for permission to go to see Her Majesty. We also allow them, even though they should not need to ask us for permission.
A few minutes later, Charles and Chloe returned. Since Julie had recovered, we decided to leave the treatment room.
-
Next day.
The last 16 matches of the academy tournament began. We first-year students who are left to win the game today and qualify for the top 8. The other members of Elevrad also managed to escape to the top 8. Then the last 16 match of the academy tournament today was finished and continued to the last 8 matches that will be held the next day.
-
The next morning, at the first year's A class training ground.
Although 10 o'clock will start the last 8 matches of the academy tournament, Irene and Irene will still train to fight in the morning. Leandra, Lily, and Julie also trained even though Leandra and Lily did not participate in the tournament and Julie had fallen first. Then after training against Irene, I chatted with her.
"Irene, do you know who the spectator wearing glasses was sitting next to Her Majesty the Queen during the last 32 and 16 tournaments yesterday ? I asked Charles and Chloe, they both said that he was Duke San Quentine, is that true?" I asked.
"Yes, he's Duke San Quentine. His name is Mr. Remy Laterza San Quentine" Irene said.
"That means he's Amelia's father's daughter?," I asked.
"Yes, what is it, Rid?" asked Irene.
"There's nothing, I'm just curious" I said.
"so yeah. By the way, in the last 8 matches we first-year students will face difficult opponents yes," said Irene.
"I remember only you, Chloe, and Charles will face a difficult opponent. Especially you, Irene, in the top 8 match you will face princess Amelia again. You could say this is a revenge match for you" I said.
"Yes, but you yourself will also face quite a difficult opponent, Rid. You will face the son of Duke San Angela in the top 8. You could say he will also face a difficult opponent because he has to fight you" said Irene.
"Enzo yes, but I've beaten him before in the second exam" I said.
"That's true but you better be careful with him, he's a mysterious person" Irene said.
"It looks like Irene also realized that Enzo is a mysterious person" I thought.

The time has also shown at 10 am, the academy's top 8 matches began. And quite a while ago, some matches had been completed. Senior Vyn managed to defeat a fourth-year disciple just like him and senior Alisha managed to defeat the female disciple of the third-year Elevrad member. They both made it to the semifinals. Then the match went on to the next match. This match is one of the expected matches in the top 8.
"As you can see in the chart on the projection shown, the participant who will compete in this match is Chloe Estella San Fulgen from the first year against Nadine Emerald from the second year. Let's welcome these two participants" said Mr. Alan.
The audience began to cheer because the one who will compete this time is the princess of this kingdom. The two of them also started entering the tournament arena. Then they both faced each other.
"Although you are a princess, I will not yield to you, Chloe's daughter," said Nadine.
"I don't expect you to budge either, senior. I know that you are very strong in your year, but I have to beat you to get to the next round and win this tournament" Chloe said.
