Chapter 153: The Day Before the School Tournament(2)

“Good morning, Headmistress.”

The students in the room stood up and bowed to Eve when she entered the room.

“Morning, students.” Eve returned their greeting.

Inside the room were 6 students— 2 of them wearing uniforms for ordinary students with the rest wearing uniforms meant for the magic students. Naturally, they were all from the Elite Class, and since they are going to participate in the tournament, it would only make sense for them to be the best of the best within the academy.

In other words, the strongest students were currently gathered in this classroom.

“Since everyone is here, let's get started with the briefing.” Eve said.

“Huh? Aren't we missing two people?” One of the students there suddenly asked.

“There should be three students for the Knight Tournament and five for the Magic Tournament,” said another.

“Don't worry about him. He'll show up during the day of the tournament.” Eve said.

“Him? Don't tell me Leo will be participating in the tournament?” Kevin, who was in Valery's team during the Wilderness Training Course, said out loud.

John and Valery, who was also participating in the tournament, gritted their teeth after hearing his name.

The last participant for the Magic Tournament was the Crimson Witch, Helia Barnett.

pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ0ᴠᴇʟ “That's right. Leo will be joining this year's tournament. In fact, he will be joining both the Knight and Magic Tournament.” Eve confirmed Kevin's suspicions.

“I understand why you decided to put him in the Knight Tournament, but I cannot comprehend why you would let him participate in the Magic Tournament, Headmistress.” Helia suddenly said.

And she continued, “Even if he can use magic now, he's only had a month of training. Or are you telling me that he only needed a month of training to get on our level?”

Helia felt like it was a slap in the face to all of the magic students to let someone with one month of experience participate in the Magic Tournament, especially when considering that most of them have been practicing magic even before they can walk.

A profound smile appeared on Eve's face as she spoke, “You will find out during the tournament.”

Helia frowned slightly, but she didn't continue this topic. Since Eve was the Headmistress, she had the final say to everything, not to mention that it was already too late to complain since the roster cannot be changed once it's been approved.

“Anyways, let's talk about the tournament.” Eve said, and she went on to tell them about the tournament even though they already knew what to expect.

A few hours later, Eve dismissed the students and returned to her living quarters.

When she didn't see Leo in the training room, she went to knock on his room.

“Yes?” Leo stopped studying the ancient magic circle to open the door.

“Hey, I want to talk to you about the tournament tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Once they were seated, Eve spoke, “For the Magic Tournament, I am going to forbid you from using magic above Tier 5 until the semi-finals.”

“Eh? Why? I thought you wanted me to dominate the tournament.” Leo raised an eyebrow.

“I do, but using Tier 7— even Tier 6 is overkill. I don't know if you know this or not, but the majority of students don't even know any Tier 5 magic, much less Tier 6 and Tier 7. In fact, you're probably the only student in this city who can use Tier 7 magic.”

“Really?” A prideful look appeared on Leo's face.

“Yes. Considering your magic power and ridiculous casting speed, you can probably defeat most of your opponents with just your Tier 2 magic spell.”

“So I am limited to Tier 5 and below magic spells until the semi-finals, right? I don't mind.” Leo calmly nodded.

Although it sucked that he won't be able to go all out at first, he understood why Eve didn't want him to go too crazy. Furthermore, he would be able to surprise the spectators more if he suddenly uses a Tier 6 or Tier 7 magic spell when he's been using nothing but low tier magic spells for the rest of the tournament.

'If this guy uses Tier 7 magic at the beginning of the tournament, it would demoralize the others and the tournament will become boring.' Eve sighed inwardly.

“What about the Knight Tournament?” Leo suddenly asked.

“There's no need for any limitations for the Knight Tournament since you already have enough restrictions.” Eve shook her head.

And she continued, “I guess I might as well tell you now. For the Knight Tournament, you will have to consume a Mana Suppressing Pill before you enter the stage. This is to prevent people from cheating.”

“Sounds reasonable.” Leo nodded.

“Well, that's all I have to say. I won't bother you for the rest of the day.”

Eve left him alone shortly after.

“Guess I'll go to sleep early today.” Leo mumbled afterward.

The following day, Leo left the house with Eve, and they made their way to the front of the academy, where a bus was waiting to transport the participants to the tournament.

“Will Miss Camille be there?” Leo asked Eve before they left the house.

“Yes, she will meet us there.”

“Okay.”

Once they reached the bus, Leo could finally see the other participants for the tournament.

'Those three will also be participating, huh?' Leo glanced at John, Kevin, and Valery for a moment before looking away.

He turned his attention to the two students wearing the Knight's uniform and thought to himself, 'That female student… She was the captain of the kendo club back in my world. What was her name again? April something… As for that male student… I don't recognize him.'

The last person there he looked at was a beautiful young lady with silky crimson hair that flowed down her back like a waterfall, a delicate yet serious-looking face, and she was glaring at him for some reason.

'She looks familiar for some reason…' Leo thought to himself after seeing Helia's face and unique features.

And without speaking a single word to these students, Leo boarded the bus with everyone shortly after arriving.
