The students saw how long the list of events for the tournament was and they were beginning to wonder how the Sergeant was going to read and explain all that to them but the Sergeant had his way of doing things.

"The tournament will officially kick off by Monday which means you all are allowed to do as you please from now till tomorrow.

"Yes you are allowed to do as you please but you must follow the schedules and rules which we have set for you. The most important rule which you must not even think of breaking is the ten PM^ curfew.

"Once it is ten PM^ all of you are expected to be in your rooms, anyone who is caught outside will get punished and will also have their academy fined for misconduct."

"I don't think that's going to be a problem because we also have the same rule at Eukerion academy," Tania said.

"You did?" Luis said.

"Yeah," Tania said with a nod. "Wait, don't you guys have the same rule at your academy?"

"We did, it's just that some people never took it seriously and they never got punished for it," Luis said.

"Well, they should take this one seriously because they will get punished if they go against it," Tania said.

"After all these events we will move on to the first round of the main event of the tournament, the fighting event which will have the best fighters from all four academies face each other." The Sergeant said.

"Are you among the fighters?" Tania asked with a little chuckle.

"I would have been If I didn't get knocked out of the competition by Pearl," Luis said.

"Pearl, the girl that was with you when you arrived there," Tania said.

"Yeah," Luis said.

"Is she among the fighters?" Tania asked.

"Yeah."

"She's a first-year student right?"

"First-year student," Luis said with a little chuckle.

It was really funny to have someone think that Pearl was a first-year student.

"Hey, what's so funny? If she isn't a first-year student then tell me what her class is." Tania said.

"She's a third-year student," Luis said.

Tania was dumbfounded after hearing what Luis had said, she thought he would say second-year student or just say he was kidding with the laughter, third-year student was just out of the line of expectations for her.

"A third-year student?" Tania asked to make sure she heard him right.

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Luis asked.

"Nothing is just that in my academy, third year students push away first-year students and don't want anything to do with them but the way she spoke to you," Tania said.

"Well, she's my friend," Luis said.

"I know and you don't know how surprised I am to find out that she is a third-year student," Tania said.

"Well Pearl is a really nice person but I don't think we would have known each other if she wasn't Tammy's best friend," Luis said.

"Oh, now it makes a little sense but she's a chilled kind of person," Tania said.

"The competition will end that Friday with the racing competition and after that, all the guests will return to their academies the next day." The Sergeant said.

Luis and Tania had been distracted by themselves that they had missed the list of events and how it was going to play out but that wasn't a problem as the list was still scrolling up and down on the screen and they could read it from there.

"Now that we've gone through the list of events that will be taking place here, it is time to go over the list of special guests that will be available or show up during the tournament." The Sergeant said.

"The seven leaders of the world including the supreme commander will all be available throughout the tournament.

"The four presidents of the four continents will also be here on the first day but some of them will not be available throughout the tournament.

"The generals and head generals are also expected to be present throughout the tournament."

After calling out the list of special guests, the Sergeant had a few more things he wanted to say to the students before he allowed them to go.

"That didn't take as long as I expected," Luis said, getting up from his seat.

"Yeah, sit down," Tania said, pulling him down on his seat.

"What?" Luis asked as he didn't expect to be pulled down like that.

"There are lots of students going down those stairs at once, let them leave first then we can leave peacefully," Tania said.

"Okay," Luis said, watching the students go down and out of the stadium.

"Good, now we can go," Tania said, getting up now that a good number of students were out of the academy and only a few students were left.

"Okay," Luis said, getting up from where he was sitting.

He scanned the area to see if he could find Ace but it turns out he followed the crowd out.

'I wonder if Dylan came here.' He thought.

'I don't think he would.' Lena said.

The two had made their way down the stairs and were about to leave through the exit when Tania ran into someone she had been avoiding throughout the tournament.

"Oh, Tania," Todd said as his face immediately lit up. "I've been looking for you."

"Hi," Tania said with an awkward expression on her face.

'I'm glad she's not with Chloe.'

"Come with me, I have something I want to show you," Todd said, grabbing her by her arm but she had quickly pulled away from his grip.

"What's wrong?" He asked, turning to her.

"Can't you see I'm with someone and you're trying to just pull me away?" Tania said, gesturing towards Luis.

Todd had been so focused on Tania that he had not even noticed Luis.

"Who is he?" Todd asked.

"This is my friend Luis, he's from Crockel academy," Tania said. "Luis this is Todd."

"Oh, hi Luis," Todd said casually.

"Just to be clear he's the one whose sister hates you right?" Luis asked.

Todd was taken by surprise by what Luis just said as he had a surprised look on his face now.

"Yeah," Tania said with a nod.

"Yeah, that's me," Todd said with an awkward expression on his face.

Inside room sixty-six in the dorm area of Crockel academy boys section, George could be seen standing in the middle of the room looking around while Rodney sat on his bed looking at him.

"How could I forget the one weapon that I was so excited to use on him?" George said, slamming his hand into the table in the room.

"I've told you, George, let's just leave the boy alone or better still deal with him when we get back to our academy," Rodney said.

"No no no, that boy is not going home from this place, he is definitely going to go missing," George said, walking to his bed and squatting down beside it. "And I may not have the blaster but I have another thing that will end him before his miraculous healing begins."

He pulled out a long bag from under his bed and unzipped it to reveal a long red glowing Katana blade.
