Chapter 202 The Five Top Academy Emerges
"Oh, I had almost forgotten," he murmured.
His gaze then moved to Fian, who stood beside Astron. Killing intent flashed through his eyes. Since he and the Night Clan had an irreparable feud, it was better to make them sweat and regret it.
Fian noticed Draco's killing intent. He felt as if cold water had been poured on him. He tried to speak, "I admit....."
His words were cut off as he was shocked to find himself being lifted up just like Damien. He shivered, feeling death's door approaching.
The entire crowd was shocked by this change—Draco holding Fian by the neck.
The Night Clan felt angry. "Young man, don't try this, or you will regret it!"
"Young man, we will chase you to the ends of the Earth!"
The Night Clan elders threatened. They knew that Draco wouldn't necessarily agree to their pleas. After all, the dignified head of a main clan had begged, and Draco still killed Damien.
Given that they had a lower sphere of influence compared to the head of a main clan, they knew Draco would toy with them even more.
"Young man, you won't only face the Everett Clan's revenge but also ours!"
They threatened, hoping Draco would reconsider.
Tera felt a headache coming when he saw this. Draco was trying to provoke another main clan as his enemy, and the Luminari Academy would bear the brunt of it.
"Simeon, take things easy. Ahem, you know they are a main clan. If you kill him, you will face the revenge of two clans. Think of your loved ones," Tera tried to calm Draco down.
Draco chuckled at this. "We are already enemies to the death, so why would I bother killing a chicken when I have killed a phoenix's child? Now the parents of the phoenix are after me, so why fear?"
Even though Draco spoke in riddles, Tera and the others were still able to understand. This made Tera sigh. What Draco said was true.
Even if he killed or spared Fian, it wouldn't change the fact that Draco and the Night Clan were irreconcilable enemies.
When the Night Clan heard this, they were speechless. Draco was right—whether he left Fian alive or not, the Night Clan would still seek to kill him.
"You can't kill him since the battle has ended," one of the elders said. Immediately after he spoke, the others agreed with him.
"Yes, if you kill him, you and the academy will be disqualified from the competition," Ken said. When everyone heard this, they nodded.
Ken couldn't watch Fian lose his life. This would mean losing another talent. As for Damien, he had thought that since Romans had appeared, Draco wouldn't kill him, as this was the head of a main clan speaking. No one would risk their life over a feud, especially with someone as strong as Romans present.
But how could he have expected that Draco didn't fear Romans or the Everett Clan at all? Now, Draco also wanted to kill Fian, making the Night Clan his enemies.@@novelbin@@
Since Fian was a student of the academy, it was Ken's responsibility to protect everyone.
"Isn't it true that they must admit defeat themselves to leave the arena?" Draco chuckled, asking Ken.
"Yes," Ken nodded. That was the rule. If the opponent didn't admit defeat, even if they were losing, one could kill them if they proved to be stubborn and refused to give up.
"Then when did you hear him say he admitted defeat?" Draco grinned.
As they began to think about it, they remembered that Fian hadn't admitted defeat. Even though he had said, "I admit...," he hadn't completed the sentence before Draco silenced him.
Ken's expression turned to anger when he realized this. He had never thought Draco was this cunning to notice such minute details.
Everyone knew that Draco was already suppressing all three opponents by himself, so it was basically a defeat.
"Young man, if you kill him, you will face the wrath of the Royal Academy!" Ken bellowed.
"I don't like to be threatened," Draco said coldly.
CRACK!
Everyone watched as Draco snapped the neck of Fian, who also had an unwilling expression. He never thought Draco would be this strong—he had assumed he could eliminate Draco easily.
But reality played him for a fool.
Draco didn't stop there. He dropped Fian's body to the ground, repeating the same process he had done for Damien.
"Emerge."
Everyone felt a strong, familiar Shadow Aura. Fian's body began to emit this energy—his aura was monstrous, though not as powerful as Damien's.
Ding!
[You have awakened an SS-Rank Night Shadow.]
"Greetings, Master," the shadow knelt down. Its aura was darker than the shadows Draco had previously awakened. He could tell it had its own unique abilities, but he decided he would check on them later.
Draco waved his hand, storing the shadow, then smiled at the Night Clan.
The crowd was speechless at Draco's actions. He had made enemies of three powerful factions—it was uncertain whether he would even survive after the competition.
"You know you can't attack contestants during the contest," Tera said.
This statement made the Royal Academy, the Everett Clan, and the Night Clan calm down slightly, though the killing intent they emitted was still intense.
Draco just snickered. He then shifted his focus elsewhere, looking toward where the group had been—but Rose was nowhere to be seen. He sighed.
Astron, having witnessed the death of his comrade, quickly admitted defeat, making Luminari Academy the victor.
"I guess you're out already," Tera chuckled at Ken, who stared at Draco with pure killing intent.
Ken knew he had to eliminate this young man from the world—Draco would become a future disaster. Moreover, there was already a deep feud between him and the main clan.
The contest continued. Draco, Ming, and Blum returned to their seats. Blum and Ming watched the rest of the fights as if they were watching a movie.
Not long after, numerous battles took place, though none were as thrilling as the battle involving Luminari Academy, as no other top academy had fought yet.
At last, the round ended, and the top five academies were announced:
Luminari Academy
Haven Academy Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Phoenix Academy
Waves Academy
Obsidian Academy
The crowd sighed. The Royal Academy had lost its position—it wasn't even in the top five anymore. To make matters worse, they had also lost two of their top talents.
The crowd turned their gaze to the young man responsible for this—Draco, who sat relaxed in his seat.
It was uncertain whether this young man would even leave the arena alive.
"The competition will continue in two days. Contestants should rest and be in their optimal state. Also, only one participant from each academy will compete in the final round. All further details will be discussed on the day of the contest," Gratt announced. Everyone nodded in acknowledgment.
With that, the third round of the Academy Contest officially came to an end. In two days, the final round would take place.
"What an epic round! This was the most exciting so far, especially with the battle between Luminari Academy and Royal Academy," Red said.
"Yes, but the real battlefield is just beginning. Who will be the number one academy of Cerulean...?"
