Another World Mall

"It's…" The general paused for a moment before announcing it out loud. "… a draw!"

The people couldn't help but widen their eyes. It was clear that Clovis should have won since he blocked Tesron's attack, while Tesron had nothing to block Clovis' attack.

Yet the general declared it as a draw?

"Don't joke with us!"

"A draw?"

"It's clearly Clovis' victory!"

"Are you getting bribed by the other side?!"

"Boo!"

The people were furious. In the eyes of normal people, the match should end in Clovis' victory. That was why they couldn't take it when the general robbed the victory from Clovis. It was supposed to be the Libation Fiesta's complete victory after all.

"Ah… Please stop, everyone!" Utaha panicked, trying to calm down the people.

"Heh?" Hana crossed her arms.

Principal Vhalor suddenly made the microphone produce a ringing sound at the maximum, which startled everyone in the room.

"Everyone. This is Principal Vhalor." The principal's expression turned solemn. "In your eyes, it might look like Clovis' victory, but it's not really the case.

"It's true that Tesron has nothing to protect himself. However, before Clovis' blade is able to cleave him in two, Tesron's blade should have reached Clovis' heart.

"In other words, even if Clovis defeated him, he would succumb to his own injury. That was why the three referees made a unanimous decision to declare a draw.

"Of course, everything could happen if Clovis chose to stop the swing and focus on his defense or Tesron blocked Clovis' attack, but both parties chose to go with that decision, resulting in a draw.

"That's why, from my objective point of view, this is a draw. I also support the referees' decision.

"This battle is a draw. And the match between Team Libation Fiesta and Melesviet has now officially ended with a score of 6-1. Everyone has shown their respective strengths that reflect their extraordinary abilities.

"I just wish for the best for all the fighters who have entertained us with a good match, the people who are inspired by these fighters, and the rest of the people who have supported the fighters."

When they listened to Principal Vhalor's explanation, the people couldn't help but fall silent. If that was indeed true, the battle was indeed a draw.

However, there was one more scenario that appeared in their mind. Clovis challenged Tesron when he was one tier lower than him and ended in a draw. What if Clovis was a Tier 5? Would Clovis win against Tesron?

That was right. In the end, even Tesron wasn't defeated, the people thought he had lost because Clovis was just a Tier 4 human.

In addition, there were Christina and Lucifania, who were also a part of the Libation Fiesta. If they fought together with them, the Libation Fiesta might overpower the enemy's team.

This was a result of a battle where the team with the disadvantage managed to win overwhelmingly against one of the top teams in the world. There was no greater glory that the Libation Fiesta needed.

Some people were still furious because they couldn't accept the result, but people started to clap. The Libation Fiesta had truly fought well. From this point on, the Libation Fiesta might be known as the top team of the younger generation in this country.

Hana smiled before glancing at the principal. "This is a problem."

"What do you mean?" The principal frowned.

"We have a bet, right? Now that it's a draw, what should we do? Do we both win or lose?" Hana smirked. However, the answer was already clear.

"…" The principal smiled wryly. "You want to embarrass me further? Of course, both of us won. I have even given one point to each team after that draw."

"And there you have it." Hana smiled, announcing it clearly. "With the agreement between me and Principal Vhalor, my OpenSky Company will open a small branch inside the first academy's grounds.

"It will be a branch exclusive to the students of the first academy. The students will be able to enjoy a 10% discount if you want to buy a new beast soul from this branch. Of course, the soul weapon, or even the exoskeleton that is still in development, will be added once they're officially out."

Principal Vhalor added, "The academy will be working with the OpenSky Company to create a system where the school can subsidize the cost of the new beast soul."

"!!!" The announcement was like a raging storm sweeping the entire country.

With such a facility, the first academy's reputation would soar even further. The people who were poor enough to get the new beast soul could finally get one in the academy. Meanwhile, those who were rich should get even better service in the academy.

In addition to Clovis' reputation as one of their students, the first academy would definitely become the most favorite academy for a long time. Meanwhile, the people would be skeptical about other academies, considering they were bringing an outsider to this country to humiliate their own people.

Still, the ones that benefited the most were not them. It was the people outside this country.

…

The superpower in the west, Ekeshia.

A middle-aged man squinted his eyes while muttering, "So, there's someone who can defeat Tesron, huh? Clovis? There's almost no information about him. We have to get him."

…

The superpower in the east, Linaria.

"The Elseingarde family planning to monopolize that kind of talent? Someone who loses to a person one tier lower than him aside… We can't really let the Ezekiel family monopolize him, right?" The old man raised his head, looking at his beautiful granddaughter.

She remained expressionless and just politely nodded. "I understand, Grandfather."

…

In another country called Brukosh.

"Find out this person's identity. The balance has shifted. Another Tier 9 might be born. Recruit him and protect him. I'm sure that those people from the Melesviet won't let these people go."

…

"Hahahahahahaha!" Michael Hacfield laughed out loud, staring at the screen. He stood on top of a mountain while spreading his arms. "My grandson is extraordinary. I won't interfere with his choice, but if any of you dare to threaten him just to follow you, I will show myself to the world once again."
