Chapter 44 The winter games



The winter tournament was one of the most important tournaments from a house’s perspective: the battle royale was one of the most competitive, innovative, and co-operative event amongst all the other house events.

The battle royale saw 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year students participate together in the event as a house and fight to be the last house standing on the martial platform.

The martial platform was built on the fifth hill of the school and it was a 25km² by 25km² platform, floating 100 meters from the ground.

To eliminate an opponent, one had to send them hurling over the stage, and once they fell over 50 meters, they would be teleported to the observation stands. One could only be eliminated this way.

The battle royale style had no other rules, and everything was fair until it did not involve critically crippling an enemy or killing them.

Ronan was participating alongside other senior players of the house. Even as a first year, his level 30 strength was comparable to the best 3rd years. Hence, he was naturally treated differently from others.

This event had a lot of points in the overall house competition. Although the red house was in the lead this year, the margin was not as large as they expected with the yellow and green house breathing down their necks.

The yellow house was a dark horse this year, as it had never performed this well. They had their fair share of shining prodigies who performed better than anyone ever expected.

The champions the green house were a little overwhelmed this year as they could not keep up with the momentum of the red and yellow house. Their second position was also in a perilous situation..

However, none of that mattered. With the winter games, the only thing that mattered was the victor of this event.

Any house that would win this event would see an incredible rise in their overall points as this was one of the most rewarding events throughout the year, points-wise.

For Ronan and Percy, however, this was their first head-to-head clash and the first challenge that Percy had issued Ronan! As a result, the entire school was eager to watch the clash of the Draco boys.

Being a house event, there was a lot of strategy, mind games, and team synergy required to win this event, as no individual, be it Ronan or Percy, could single-handedly win the whole event for a house.

Teamwork was the key to success in this event, and the house captains had thoroughly prepared their juniors for it in the past few days.

Ronan was also given his own task to handle. However, he had the most creative freedom to express himself, because, despite his talents, he was considered the muscle-headed brute of the house. His only instructions were:

‘Don’t fight stronger opponents alone.’

And

‘Zap all the weaker opponents with lightning.’

This was because, just as Captain Yami would start explaining complex strategies and teamwork to Ronan, he would sulk with a puffed face, as if protesting in silence.

Hence, after a lot of consideration and special treatment, he was given the role of the team’s muscle. Now, Ronan smiled brightly, as if he approved of the captain’s decision.

Yami felt a headache trying to handle Ronan. He’d realized that Ronan was way too pampered in some aspects of life and hence choosy while doing tasks , and because he was just 7 years of age, his overwhelming cuteness made people helpless.

Hence, at the event’s day, Ronan was fired up and ready to rumble as he was dead-set on achieving three things:

1) Eliminate Percy and show his dominance.

2) Win the Most Overall Eliminations award for the house (worth 500 merits).

3) Help the house secure first place (worth 5000 merits).

This was the goal Ronan had in mind as he had trained hard for this event in the past few months. Although he had only levelled up twice, his overall combat prowess had increased by leaps and bounds as his control over lightning made him unstoppable.

Overall, Ronan was ready for this challenge!

However, he was not the only one who was ready. Percy had already anticipated that his little brother would be a menace in this event. So, he was leading the green house’s charge this time around, even though he was only a second year.

Percy was calm. He wanted to take this opportunity to knock Ronan down a peg so that he would stay motivated to train hard and surpass him in the coming year.

Nitin was also working hard towards defeating Ronan as he had levelled up to level 23 now, becoming the undisputed number two in year one.

His goal was to humiliate Ronan Draco in the event and bring retribution for his beloved Maddy.

The powerful level 140 soul inside him was not to be underestimated as his battle experience and techniques were much more refined and posed a genuine threat to Ronan.

With him also issuing an open challenge to Ronan that was recognised by the yellow house and all first years who he had defeated on his rise to becoming number two, he was one of the biggest challenges that Ronan had to overcome to win .

For the level 140 soul inside Nitin , only Ronan Draco stood in his way to get complete control of Nitin’s body as per the deal between the two , and he had an opportunity on a grand stage to defeat him and sieze control of the body for once and for all , and he would do everything in his power to ensure that it was the only outcome that was to become.

This year’s games were hence sure to be extremely intense , with many big players gunning for Ronan.

(Meanwhile, in Avalon)

Alexander had called his war council. Every major minister and military official was present in the room as Leif briefed them on the situation.

“WE MUST KILL THEM ALL!” General Sam smashed his hands on the table in anger. He hated the terrorists to his core. As a member of the military, he detested the attack on civilians the most. It went against his principles.

His opinion reflected that of most of the war council, as even Alexander wanted nothing more than to march into their territory and wipe them out from the core. Yet, he remained quiet.

Augustus spoke with crimson eyes, “Alexander, how can you remain so calm when our civilians die everyday and our merchants lose our goods? DOES YOUR BLOOD NOT BOIL WITH RAGE?!”

Augustus questioned Alexander. In his sixties, Augustus was very short tempered and ready to jump into any conflict as if he was 20.

However, Alexander had his mind in the right place. He knew better than anyone that invading the Northern Wastelands was not as easy as it seemed and that it would cause heavy casualties to win this war.

Hence, although his blood boiled with rage at this incident, his first try would be to counter it clinically and without any bloodshed.

Alexander replied, “My blood boils as much as anyone’s here, if not more… However, killing the terrorists does not mean that we march into enemy territory unprepared and let our soldiers die. Leif has made a plan to trouble the terrorists while we do reconnaissance and plan our attack to root them at their base.”

Taking a deep breath, Alexander looked at his father.

“War will be an inevitable choice. However, I am not going to make my army march into enemy territory without having a complete grip on their strength.

“Leif will explain the measures he will be taking in the meantime…”
