I torethe uests that had just arrived
The hook-nosed and pale-skinned Cros with the flock of town officials and their fae barely spoke as they kept their chins raised and chests puffed
The female student referred to as Aphene had an athlete’s body with long, sliaze bore intoher provocation as cute at aze to the blonde man that looked like he’d spent a tad too much time in front of a mirror Compared to his brusque female schoolmate, the student named Pallisun met everyone with a practiced smile that seemed to convey his hubris in athe teen strut in his white suit, which was euard, I was re season
Regis chortled atwholeheartedly
The trio eventually e of towns whatever they could to curry their favor or even have theeneral direction
“An honor to have an ascender in our presence,” the older representative intoned, his expression not quitehis words “My nahter, Aphene,” he introduced before gesturing to the student on his left “And this student is Pallisun of Blood Blather Both of you, introduce yourselves”
Aphene dipped her head, a bit reluctant “Aphene of Blood Mandrick”
Pallisun, as around ht but with a bit more bulk, scanned me froreeted, releasing a bit of ainst his frame in an atteoose,’ Regis judged
“A pleasure tome with you to Aramoor City,” I said to Comer with an amiable smile He was ,” he replied hu that our town had an ascender visiting, Elder Cro the top students of Stormcove Academy,” Chief Mason explained
The Storaze flickered over the town chief dis, “Yes, while they can’t yet compare to Ascender Grey, they’ll both be transferred to an ascender institute in the central doarded the two students with a casual sratulations in advance”
Pallisun craned his neck to get that extra inch over , estee much experience yet, but I’d still love to hear of your tales down in the Relictois bristled ‘Please, let me humble this man’
It’s beneath us to bully theis before replying to the vain blonde
“It’s quite the pleasant place for a stroll Do you care to join o?” I asked with a wink
A few chuckles rang from the crowd around us Pallisun’s broitched in restrained annoyance as he stifled a laugh as well
“Please excuse et a drink,” Pallisun said with a forced so, Aphene”
The two students turned around and headed off to one of the tables behind them As they did so, I couldn’t help but think that it was a sha their runes
Not dwelling on it, Ithe exhibition Below, the host in charge ofthe students walk in a circle to wave at the audience
Cheers broke out asbehind only one group of students that looked to be about eight to ten in age
The day progressed as atched the various events showcasing both the ical and physical prowess of the students
Caster students had been up first Workers brought targets and laid them on the opposite side of the field for the students to try and hit with both accuracy and power After that, they began running through an obstacle course while hitting targets without stopping
While I didn’t condone child soldiers, it was impressive to see even the children in this sh the co like trained coainst Dicathen
dahts Anything I did to try and go against Alacrya at this point wouldn’t even arona’s nails
Sing the bitter taste inwhile the caster students finished and the host called for the shi+elds to step up back onto the arena Their exhibition consisted of each of the shi+elds protecting two mannequins from blunted projectiles hting to the death against a mana beast my father had captured in order to build battle experience,” a clear voice declared a few feet to aze to see Pallisun standing with a frilly-dress girl under each ar as a shi+eld at their age Meanwhile the girls cooed and giggled as if his very words contained gold
He wasn’t the only one enjoying the spectacle below During these two events, the other officials froers on their own local students, while the na students were h in the hopes that Cromely could hear
As the shi+eld students of Town Ludro, Cessir, Deura and Maerin stepped down, the atmosphere shi+fted While both the casters and shi+elds received enthusiastic cheers throughout their events, they paled in comparison to when the striker students stepped up on the platform that had been raised for their tournament
This particular event would consist of six representative strikers fro in the tourna the six duel each other for the spot of representing their towns and it would end with the re off in the semi-finals and finals
After the host re to let a specific member of their town advance was strictly forbidden, the tournament commenced
While I didn’t expectby how Aphene had stopped bothering to watch after the first ree
The children fought with practiced ical abilities Because of how the marks or crests they had confined the scope of their spell to take form into a specific shape or action, they had to rely on understanding and outic as a tool rather than relying on it
“I can’t ieant would entertain you in any way,” a thin voice intoned frohtly without turning around “At this level, their ‘weapons’ are unsharpened and inflexible This forces theree, Elder Cromely?”
The older ht “Are you saying that the sharper our weapons get, the slower and aze to Croe of my mouth “That would depend on the person, but the temptation to lean heavily on the sharpest tool is always there Isn’t that e’ve evolved fro with our bare fists in the first place?”
