The distortion inside the gate gave ominous feeling to the first timers. But not Lyon, he was excited instead. (Finally some dungeon exploring!) thought Lyon.

“Before entering the labyrinth there are things you should now.” said Sylviana to the crowd.

“Upon entering the gate, all of you will be scattered into random floors inside the labyrinth. There even might be a chance of you never encounter anyone inside!”

“Secondly, anything goes inside the labyrinth, life or death shall be determined by your skill!”

“Thirdly, we can monitor each one of you from the outside of the labyrinth using the special monitor Grandmaster Crux had invented, you all will be resembled in ‘yellow-dots’ on the monitor, but we cannot determine which is which. This monitor was mainly to scope the depth of the labyrinth. Upon death the yellow dots will disappear.”

“And finally, there is a gatekeeper in every ten floors so be careful.” then Sylviana took his time seeing the crowd and candidates before continued: “The rewards from this competition are..”

The moment the candidates waiting for finally came. The rewards were always tremendous and crucial to one’s cultivation and magic. The winner of the competition will be determined by how many points gained inside.

“We will be giving out level two taboo magic and two spirit fruits to the winner!! Including five hundred golds!!”. said Sylviana with a proud smile.

*woahh

*woahh

The crowd began to discuss among themselves. This was by far the greatest reward ever given in the competition.

Even both of the kings were surprised. A taboo spell usually a kingdom greatest treasure, they don’t provide them in the libraries because of how rare those were.

However Lyon was nonchalant about the taboo spell reward as he already had access to even the rumored divine spell from his ‘first-wife’ Selena. (500 gold!! Ah I will probably buy a room in the brothel and stay there until I broke!!) smiled Lyon.

Seeing his smile, Jugen whispered: “Big brother, not just the taboo spell but that fruit can boost your magic attack too, who cares about the money right? it’s just a bonus.”

“Eh? what? ah yes the money is only a bonus hehe.” nodded Lyon suspiciously.

“Alright, candidates please get ready.” said Fei.

“Alright let’s go Jugen!”

“Right! big brother!”

“To the locker room!” said Lyon while running.

—————————————————————————

Inside the locker room.

“Wow big brother you look so cool! weird, but COOL!” said Jugen.

—————————————————————————-

About ten minutes later inside the arena.

*cheer

*LY-ON! LY-ON!

*LY-ON! LY-ON!

Most of the crowd were students from the Academy and they were cheering on top of their lung.

“Miss aren’t you going to cheer him too?” teased Fei.

“Hmph!! he better win this.” said Sylviana, then she continued :”LY-ON!!” getting into the rhythm with the crowd.

In one of the sitting.

“Princess why is your face getting red every time Lyon is mentioned?” asked Martis.

“Uh- what? it-it’s nothing! And you are not allowed to discuss this again!” said Luna.

“Y-Yes Princess!” (Why am I getting mad at) thought Martis.

(Please don’t die Lyon!) thought Luna.

Seeing the Nostria’s cheer, the Arcana’s will not take this down.

*cheer

*Ji-ang-nu!Ji-ang-nu!Ji-ang-nu!

Hearing the crowd cheering for him, he raised his saber.

*wahhhhhh!!!

The Arcana’s screamed. Their king was smiling on the balcony.

*chuuu

*Boom

An arrow shot upward and explode in the sky creating Meistas’s symbol.

*Xia!Xia!Xia!Xia!Xia!

*Xia!Xia!Xia!Xia!

The Meistas’s supporter bang their chest every time they shouted.

Xiaxia was standing still, then with a smirk, she held her bow up high.

*WAAAAAAAAHHH!!

The crowd screamed. Now its their king that had smile in his face.

The Nostria supporter was at a dead end without their star Lyon. (Where is he?) was what running in their mind. They were restless, especially the girls, Luna and Sylviana.

——————————————–

Back in the locker room.

“Did you hear that big bro? I think it’s our cue.”

“Then let’s do it grandly.” smirked Lyon.

———————————————-

*swooosh

*swoooshhhh

The wind inside the arena gone rampart as clouds gathered in the sky.

*spark

*spark

The lightnings were coiling around the cloud, truly a view of a disaster about to come.

*kuuurrrr

*KURRRRR

*KURRRR

The rocs were restless as they flapped their wings rapidly on the ground to escape the place that instant. However the Meistas’s candidates hold them together.

Both of the kings had grimaced expression on their face as they saw the current event. As they were about to complain to Sylviana they froze themselves.

The Nostrian supporters were all standing up straight and that’s not all, even Sylviana was standing despite her status. Respect filled their face as they watched the incoming event.

One really beautiful woman wearing a cap shouted at the top of her lung. “IF YOU CANNOT WIN THIS I WILL BEAT YOU LIKE I FIRST MET YOU!!” smiled the woman.

.

*CRACK

The space on top of the arena breaking apart and slowly two black figures can be seen falling down slowly.

One of them had a long bow with no quiver. He had a fairly handsome face with blonde hair and he wore the academy representative clothes and seem to be the subordinate of the young man beside him. He was Jugen.

The young man had a cross earring on his right ear, combined with his handsome face and long hair resting on both his shoulder he looked so lady-killer somehow. He wore a tight black coat with rolled sleeves on both of them but leave the zip open revealing his chest and packs. The coat had a sword planted to the ground symbol on it’s right chest area. His right hand was holding a night-sky unsheathed curved sword with about 1.5 meters long. He was Lyon.

*tap

*tap

Then with a wave from his hand all the commotion gone back to normal.

Both of the kings had nothing to say. They felt the tremendous magic just now, and finally felt worry for their candidates. (RARE SPACE Attribute?!)

“Now you all may enter the-” Before Fei could finish her sentence…

*SFWOOOOSH…

Lyon and Jugen were the first to enter the gate and disappeared.

“Charge!” said Jiangnu after realizing they are being outrun.

“Tch! let’s go!” said Xiaxia.

——————————————————-

Inside an empty dark chamber…

“Ohhhhh…. I wonder if that human can do it… hahaha this is our chance..” a mysterious voice filled the room.
