Chapter 157: Single Battles [1]
***
The faint light rays entered Amon's room, making his eyes twitch.
They fluttered open and he weakly got up, stretching his body.
[You're up early today...] Zephyra noted, surprised.
'Yeah, of course. It's the day of the single matches.' He said with a yawn.
As he rubbed his eyes, the memories of last night flooded his brain.
The touch and kiss...
[My boy was making some moves last night.] Vain said to remind him further.
Even Zephyra spoke up.
[For real. That girl, Elizabeth. Her personality took quite a leap while I was gone...] She said. Ignoring both of them, Amon entered the shower and closed the door behind him.
Another advantage of having Zephyra as a familiar now was that she couldn't peek at him without him noticing.
She said that it was abnormal for Amon to be against it but he retaliated that it was she who wasn't normal.
Even Vain supported him in this regard.
Coming out of his room 20 minutes later, Amon sported a buttoned crisp white shirt with a tie.
Getting his black overcoat on top, he sat on the table for breakfast.
Just like always, Katherine had already left before him.
"Da-Daddy!" Lily came running toward him from her room.
She hugged his legs and Amon ruffled her hair back with a smile.
"Where is wolfie?" She asked, her eyes sparkling.
From his shoulder, Amon saw Zephyra smile as she made herself be seen.
Lily squealed in joy as Zephyra landed in her arms.
Both of them started playing with each other and Amon quickly cooked dinner.
As he was eating, Vain spoke up.
[Confident about today?] He asked.
Amon nodded internally.
'Yeah. I don't see myself having many problems in the single matches.'
It was true.
Since he was going to reveal his power anyway, he would blitz through the students.
He watched Lily eat her own food while also petting Zephyra with a smile.
The other academies wouldn't be much of an issue.
Though.
'If Elizabeth utilizes her power to the full, it might be a little problematic.' He said to Vain. [I see.] Vain replied.
As Amon was about to take another spoonful, Vain asked again.
[But what would you lose?] He asked.
Amon's hand stopped for a split second before he put the spoon inside his mouth like nothing happened.
'Nah, I'd win.'

Arriving in the block where the matches were supposed to be held, Amon suddenly felt his watch ring.
Opening it up, he saw that it was the matchups.
Venue: Stadium C
Cadet Name: Amon Ashford
Start of Matches: 8:00 AM
Matches:
Adam Ravenfield VS Miller Cyrus (AA)
Rihanna Skylar VS Klein Sinclaire
Nathan Bryman (AA) VS Desmond Doss (AA)
Nadia Alneith VS Sarah Reinhardt (AA)
Cleenah Troy (AA) VS Amon Ashford
It was a good matchup schedule.
He preferred to go last anyway as he wanted to analyze the cadet's fights. The (AA) tag meant Another Academy cadet. He knew that from the novel. His eyes were quick to pick up three interesting names on the list.
Adam Ravenfield.
Klein Sinclaire.
And...
Nadia Alneith, someone from the neighbor class.
Adam and Klein were already in his eyes from before and he even had plans for them.
Unfortunately, because of so many things on his shoulders, he had been unable to do
anything.
Then, there was also Nadia, someone whom he couldn't see till now.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She was an [Energy] elemental clovist. A rare element indeed.
And someone who ould be very useful to
the future.
It was a blessing in disguise for him that they were all on the location.
He could finally interact further with them.
Looking up, his eyes traveled over the number of stadiums in the block.
It was the Stadium Block of the academy, a block that was only utilized in times like these.
There were a total of 10 stadiums but only 5 were being used right now.
And that's how many were usually needed as well.
The other 5 were built just in case of emergencies or mishaps.
They were named based on letters.
His eyes moved to the left, where there was a stadium multiple times larger than the other
ones at the start of the row.
It was called Stadium o and was only used in royal and very big situations.
The facilities in that stadium were also a lot better than the other ones.
Looking at the time, Amon saw it was currently 7:40 AM.
'I should probably get seated down by now to get a closer seat.' He concluded and headed towards the stadium right in front of him.
Stadium C.
***
As Amon headed inside the stadium, he noticed how the people were also starting to come in
by now.
After several minutes of trying to find a good seat, he finally settled down.
It was close to the railing and gave him a good view of the fight below.
As he was observing things around him, he heard a voice from the side.
"Amon?"
Recognizing the kind familiar voice, Amon's head moved.
It was Charlotte.
Meeting her sapphire blue eyes, he nodded and gestured to a seat beside him.
She was wearing a black turtleneck and a white skirt with various ornaments in her hair and on
her neck.
"Thanks, I appreciate you saving a seat for me."
Amon looked at her in misunderstanding.
"Wait, I didn't save it-"
She raised a finger to her lips.
"Sshh, just learn to accept a compliment from a lady when she gives you one."
Amon didn't say anything and nodded.
Their focus turned back to the battle.
"The first one is Adam Ravenfield VS Rihanna Skylar right?" She confirmed, revising the
names.
Amon had even forgotten the second persons the name by now.
She was truly the studious type.
"Yup." He nodded.
Then he remembered something.
"Wait, you have fought Adam before right?" He asked and Charlotte nodded.
"Yeah, it was a bit of a difficult fight because I was low on mana but thankfully, I was able to
pull through." She winked.
Amon nodded.
"I see."
Well, he would just see Adam's power in the upcoming battle now.
And just like that, the minutes passed swiftly and the battle finally started.
