Chapter 193 Three MVPs
"New students of Anaviotis, check your wrists!"
He announced, as a silver bracelet suddenly appeared on Lyrian\'s hand. The 50 looked down at their hands to also notice the object.
"These are your school bracelets. They will inform you of your Credits and Credit history. Remember, this is the currency in the academy. It will also inform you of school news, your personal health, assignments, and other information."
The students made quiet noises of astonishment as Julius continued.
"Now, let us begin this entrance ceremony! Firstly, I would like to especially congratulate those who retrieved the Golden Tiered Cores in their respective exams. The MVP\'s of this new year."
Julius paused, looking at three sets of eyes with a smirk on his face, before looking up into the crowd of students up above. They were eager to see the winners.
"Students of Anaviotis! Remember these following faces, as they will be your biggest threats, biggest competitions, and also, potentially, your greatest companions going into the next school year. Treat them with the merit which they have earned."
The eager students were even more pumped out now. Their curiosity had peaked. The biggest reason for this, was because they heard that one out of the three winners was an unexpected one.
One out of the three... was one whose name wasn\'t heard by anyone ever.
"I welcome to the stage, Godfrey Drake; prince of the Veridrake Kingdom. Linus Creyuun, Prince of the Yuun Kingdom. And finally,"
Julius paused for a moment on purpose, darting his eyes through the crowd of anticipating students. The two kids who were called had already begun making their way onto the stage.
They were expected winners. The two princes of each of the two kingdoms. The third winner, however, was also predicted to be the prince of the third kingdom... this one was worth wondering over, as it wasn\'t the prince who won.
Not only the current students of Anaviotis, but even the 50 exam passers looked to see who had retrieved the Golden Tiered Core in each group. Lyrian sat back in his chair with ease, knowing his name was going to be called next.
"Lyrian Theageld! Grandson of The Rampager Of The East!"
The crowd queued down as Lyrian walked up to the stage. He could feel everyone\'s eyes on him, enough to make a normal person\'s heart want to explode out of their chest. But for him, who had already gone through experiences much worse than this, it wasn\'t anything to worry about.
In fact, he was currently musing to himself.
\'Ha... I guess they had to choose something to not make me seem like a complete nobody. Grandson of The Rampager Of The East, huh? Hell... even I didn\'t know he had such a nickname.\'
Lyrian walked up the stairs to the stage and lined up next to the other two. He glanced over at them, taking note of their appearances. The first, one, Godfrey of Veridrake, had a head of slightly long and curly bright green hair. His eyes were also green and looked like those of a serpent. One long black slit went down his pupil.
He didn\'t wear the normal attire, such as a luxurious robe. Instead, he fitted a pair of baggy trousers, light green in color with some metal lining on some parts. On his long torso, which made him taller than most kids, was a simple vest on top of bare skin. It was made of metal and also a sturdy dark green fabric. The vest didn\'t cover his hands, allowing his fairly developed muscles to be seen.
He wore metal guards on his wrist, each with a round green crystal engraved into them. As he looked forward, a vigorous expression covered his face.
Next, Lyrian shortly glanced at Linus Creyuun. Prince of the Yuun Kingdom. He wore what Lyrian expected him to, a white robe with gold lining. It had golden patterns of moon crescents at the bottom of it. He had slicked-back silverish-yellow hair and a complexion that was a bit darker.
His eyes were a vibrant yellow, and he stared forward with a calm yet confident expression on his face.
Finally, Lyrian also faced the crowd. All of the eyes were still on him. A boy who looked like a mere peasant compared to them. He was wearing barely what a low-status peasant would wear.
Before long, a few whispers began to murmur throughout the assembly. Kids spoke amongst themselves, while their eyes still faced Lyrian.
"That\'s him... he looks like an average kid."
One said in the very back, confused.
"It looks like they just picked up a random kid taking an adventure in the woods and placed him on the stage or something."
Another retorted. As the noise grew, Julius stepped forward and closed his fist in the air, canceling all sound in an instant as everyone shut their mouths.
He looked over at Lyrian.
\'I feel like I\'m getting deja vu. He was on stage at the Magic Potencial testing as well. What an interesting lad.\'
And then faced the crowd.
"These three have done something that most couldn\'t, so do not underestimate any one of them. Each has obtained the Golden Tiered Core. For this accomplishment, they were promised a grand prize. A High-Grade Spirit Pet."
Julius turned to face the three.
"Lyrian, Linus, Godfrey! Activate your bracelets! All it requires is to think about accessing it!"
The three followed his orders, as a small transparent panel materialed above the bracelet. It was thin and blue, floating in the air only a centimeter above the bracelet.
On all of their bracelets were what looked like tickets of sorts. They read "HGSP"
"This is your proof. You will show it to your Spirit Pet teacher and pick your pet there when everyone else does it."
The three nodded.
"Now, for the accomplishments you all have achieved, and the work you have put in, give us a few words to introduce yourselves to the school! You are currently at the top of the food chain, as you know. What would you like to show to the school to represent yourselves?"
A few intriguing sounds made their way through the crowd.
\'A few words huh? Easy enough.\'
Lyrian thought to himself on hearing Julius\' words.
*Ding*
\'Oh no.\'
[New quest started!]
[In front of this number of people, the future king of the world must leave a good impression]
[Announce your dream to the academy!]
\'Huh!?\'
