Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 690 A dinner from their idol

[OP: ]

The third round of the competition had ended with quite some unexpected results as the top house of the greatest academy of the world, the True Dragons, had failed to advance to the next round along with Fusion Stardust, and Eternal tigers.

They had poured all they had into their creations, they even went as far as using the secret techniques and ingreadiants they had gathered and learned during their learning process.

They did not fall behind the other particiapnats when it came to technique, methods, and the way they had attracted the crowd's attention, they were very good with what they did and they all were individually complimented by the judges for their breathtaking performances.

However, the standards of thi cometation were just too high for their end products to pass.

Even the other houses had barely made it to the following round except the Wisdom Phoenix. There was no ranking in the current passing rounds however, the experts could evaluate the end producers of their rivals. 

And, according to them, the [Rainbow honey] that they created was an original cereation of their captain that they had created using techniques that were beyond the understanding of some of the masters present in this arena.

They were not only eye catching with their creation, they had created something that was on par with the creations of the older masters and the grandmasters. 

Thus, aside from the three houses, the others passed to the fourth round, and, in the fourth round, another fierce contest unfolded before the audience present on the stands.

This was a comepetation for a reason. There were going to be winnier and, some of the participants wanted that victory with all their hearts.

It was visible in their eyes. The desire to win, the fire to do better than the others participants. It was all reflected in their eyes. And, watching those eyes gave a new kind of excitement to the crowd.

Especially the Wisdom Pheonix of the great academy of hope. They were too attractive for the others to not pay attention to them. Their methods and the way the individuals played their assigned roles was just too exciting for the audience, as well as to the experts and judgement panel.

They were almost enchanted by how Miss Mia, their captain, used some unknown methods to produce, process, or manipulate the elements they had. 

The resources they possessed were all absurd, yes, however, more than that, they were astonished how they were using all those rare resources so well…

The audience could tell they had practised a lot. 

Their deep knowledge of their craft was reflected in their actions, the way they had divided work among themselves so well spoke of their captain's prowess, and, the way they were using their unique skills was the main reason they had to fix the screen showing them in the centre of the arena.

Their group performance in the fourth round was certainly eye catching, however, more than that, their individual performances were so attractive that the audience had started searching for the information related to all those individuals in this 'last ranking' house of their academy…

This did not mean the other houses that were in the fourth round were any worse than them though.

The way the Fascinated Mages were doing their process with their vice captain as the center of their group was a unique technique that was only possible because of the unique ability of the genius mage and prodigy of magic.

They were working as one single unit, something similiar to a production facility where the workers and machines work in a perfect sync.

It was breathtaking as well. They were certainly nothing less than the other participants.

Even Aqua Mirror that was using the techniques and methods of the other people that had participated in this competition were doing pretty great. And so were the Dark Society with their unique energy utilisation methods.

They all did pretty well, however, after the end of fourth round, only two houses managed to advance to the third day's fifth round, a milestone the 'students' hardly ever achieves.

The Wisdom Phoenix and Turtle Defenders. Two houses that did not practically have any group of specialised alchemists.

The two groups that had showed the most unique performance in this year's competition.

And, though the Turtle Defenders were criticised a lot for the crazy methods they had used when creating their unique end product, it was a fact that what they had created was enough to push them to the next round of the cometation. 

Their lives were on the line so they can deal with some criticism and bad mouthing. They were going to forget all of this soon anyway according to a certain person in their group.

Thus…

The second day of the cometation came to an end and with heavy hearts and tears in their eyes, the defeated teams, as well as the ones who had made it past the fourth round, the two teams from their school, were all almost ready to go back to their respective assigned places to spend another difficult night… however, they all were met with a surprise.

Every single person from the great academy of Hope, including the teachers that had come with them and the special students that they had brought along with them, were invited to a special dinner.

It was a strange occurrence since they weren't allowed to go out of their designated places during the course of the cometation without the supervision and permission from their teachers, so, the students were all stunned for a moment.

However, when they all heard from their President and Vice president who had suddenly appeared there out of nowhere that the people that had invited them were none other than the famous young master and lady of Heliox and Atraxia family, many of them visibly flinched with shock.

For the students of any academy, be it some normal school in some small kingdom or the greatest academy of the world, the names Axion Heliox Kromet and Reinelle Atraxia were nothing less than an idol. They unanimously respected them for one reason or another and, in any of the place one can think of, the hate towards them was the lowest when it came to any person from high society.

"To think I am here, hehehe… to think I am gonna meet Master Axion!"

"You know Lady Reinelle hasn't met anyone after her engagement. People had only ever seen her from faraway and, they say she seemed even prettier nowadays."

"Haha, that's love, my friend. Love makes people more attractive."

"Huuuu… deep breathing… huuuu… everything will be alright. My heart, you are stronger than that."

"Does anyone think this food taste awfully better than anything else they had eaten in their lives? Is it really true that all of this made by Master Axion himself?"

"Damn young Master Axion's cooking can definitely challenge Vice captain's cooking. This shit is gold!"

"Ummm… excuse me? Can we take some of the things with us, please?"

"It's almost time. They should be here any minute now."

"Haaa. I'm full. Lord, give me another stomach."

One was the creator of some of the most famous foods in the world, and the other was the sole representative of one of the strongest families of this world, not just their empire, but this entire world.

She was respected by the ladies of all lands. Her elegance, her nobleness was envied by even some of the pillars of high society. She possessed so great of an influence that even her mere appearance of a certain type of clothing was enough to set the next trend of high society. And, if that wasn't enough, it was said that even the guards and knights of their family respected her for her prowess with weapons.

However, that was only a rumour for now since none had ever seen her use any kind of weapon. 

"Hey, look! It's them! It's them! For reallllll!"

Some certainly disliked Axion for 'stealing' Reinelle from them, but since it was now confirmed that the two of them had loved each other for a very long time, the hate had been overwhelmed by the new dishes and offers at the stores owned by him.

They didn't like him for what he did, however, they couldn't possibly hate the ice cream, those unique beverages, all those unique food items, and special surprise toys they gave to some certain people.

The noble students, even the teachers of this room went crazy over all those special gifts. They were just too good and cute to not like.

And it was all possible because of him, so, disliking him on side, hating him had become innately impossible for them.

"Omg, omg! Pinch me! Tell me I'm not dreaming!"

"She looks prettier… doesn't she…?"

"Ohhh! Right! Where's captain of Wisdom Pheonix?! She's his sister, right?! Let's tell her to introduce us to him!"

"Oy, come with me. Let's go greet them."

"No way man… whatever this thing is, this is too delicious to let go."

The students were invited for a special dinner by their idols, so there was no way they were gonna refuse such a grand opportunity.

It was perhaps a once in a lifetime offer for them, since they did not know these idols of theirs were schoolmates. 

They were in the grand Heliox residence right now, in their banquet hall, in one of the most secure places in this city, so, they were gonna be safe from what was gonna happen in a while.

And, they can see and chat with their idols as well if they gather enough courage to do so…

This long night before them, it was going to be an unforgettable one for all of them. As well as for many currently assembling on their possessions through this city, and beyond.
