My Wife is the Asura Empress
chapter-205

A bright light was focused on the ascended platform where an old man was standing, It was the headmaster that Rio had met on his first day of class at the Golden Seal Academy.

"Greetings esteemed students. Today marks the commencement of the highly anticipated National Military School Tournament. This is the day when you will put your skills to the test, and prove what you learned in the Land of Asura.

As you all know, our school has suffered setbacks in the last two years, losing out on the winning position of our competitors. But I have faith in your abilities, just as your senior Lily Havenglow proved herself and brought us victory three years ago.

The rewards for this tournament are remarkable. The winners will not only earn a coveted spot in the international tournament but also get an opportunity to meet the princess of the Dhovrix race.

The rules are simple yet challenging. You will face purple to black-stage beasts, created using cutting-edge AI technologies. Killing a purple-stage beast will fetch you ten battle points while slaying a black-stage beast will earn you a whopping fifty battle points."

The old man's voice sounded in the auditorium and filled the students with excitement and courage. Their body's blood pumped when they heard they needed to bring it for like their senior Lily Havenglow.

The headmaster could see the effect of his speech on the students, he swept the crowd with his gaze and continued, "In addition to these beasts, there are eleven special beasts hidden around the island, each of them worth a thousand battle points. But beware, these special beasts are at the peak of the black stage, so proceed with caution, unless your team is confident to take them down.

Teams from the same school can collaborate to take down a special beast, but ultimately it's up to the students' vote to decide who gets the reward by getting this special beast's core which will give you a thousand battle points.

Before you depart for the island, you will receive an additional AI watch that will track your battle points and serve as a safety measure in case of any danger. The AI watch will ensure your safe return by teleportation to your respective school, For you, which is our Golden Seal Military School.

You can also command in your thought to withdraw to instantly teleport out from the island. Each student will get to carry ten kilograms of weight for the necessary things, which will be checked as you go outside. Now go, and make us proud!"

Rio and Nyla exchanged a look, they knew it was the moment they had been waiting for.

As the headmaster concluded his speech, the lights suddenly brightened, revealing a large, door next to the principal.

The students couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement as they knew what could be waiting on the other side.

Rio noticed a table in front of the door, adorned with an array of watches that were similar to the AI device on his wrist but with a sleeker, more sophisticated design.

"Rio, We need to go," Nyla said as she stood up.

The boy noticed the principal didn't give further instructions and the students with their team and their bags started going towards the opened door before taking one of the watches from the table which they equipped on the opposite wrist of the one they were wearing the AI watch.

"Let the crowd get cleared first, we will be the last one," Rio responded.

As the team left the auditorium, he discovered not everyone was leaving, there were many who just came to watch the show as an audience.

As the students decreased, he stood up and walked toward the door along with Nyla.

The boy could feel Headmaster's gaze fixed on him when he was going in the direction of the big table.

He could tell the old man was confused why they didn't have any bag with them. It was just a mistake on the duo's side that they forgot to carry any bag with them as they were hurrying to the auditorium.

Rio and Nyla took one of the watches before leaving from the big gate and going to the other side.

There were black cars parked outside the door, and students were guided to one of the cars. Nyla held his hand and said, "Let's go."

Rio nodded and proceeded to the last vehicle that was parked at the end. There were drivers sitting on each of them.

He stepped forward and pulled the car's door, gesturing for Nyla to go inside.

The magenta-haired beauty's face brightened seeing how her sweetheart was being a gentleman and opened the door for him.

After the girl sat inside on the passenger seat, he went to sit on the other side.

As he sat inside, the window changed to black, blocking their vision to see outside.

He had already heard from Nyla that they don't let the students see where they were going sent so he didn't ask anything.

Soon, he heard the car's engine roar to life and started moving towards their designated destination.

As they were traveling, Nyla leaned her head on Rio's Shoulder, the girl said, "We will be brought to a ship that will send us all to the island, but we won't get to see the outside until we reach the island."

Rio nodded, taking in her words. An elated feeling was bubbling inside him, This was the tournament he had been waiting for since he had known about his parents.

The car drove for an hour before it came to a stop. They stayed inside the car for several hours, the driver was quietly sitting on the front seat as if waiting for instruction from his superiors.
