386 Incompetent
The table of the Blood Faction members was silent.
The music and the ongoing conversations filled the entire Hall, but everyone sitting there was completely silent.
And the reason was Leonard, who was silently sitting in his seat.
Everyone was on edge except Blake, who saw Cade interacting with Asher.
He knew why his older brother was interacting with Asher.
'All because of his obsession with his swordsmanship,' Blake thought in his head.
The only reason why Cade would meet Asher and have a conversation was to fight against his sword.
'Or, Sword God's Sword,' Blake said to himself.
Because of this, Joseph Cranston, Cade's Grandfather and one of the 11 SSS Rank Hunters in the world, banned Cade from ever challenging Nathan.
Cade didn't like that, but he was aware that simply honing his sword art wasn't enough.
After all, he had never won a spar against Joseph himself, so he went for the next best option.
And that was Asher, but even a spar between the heirs of the two strongest Elite families wasn't something that could happen so casually.
That was why Cade offered Asher a deal to do their spar while Asher was doing one of the World Academy Assignments that were given to every single student.
Cade was sure, seeing Asher's growth, that in his Third Year, he would reach a certain level in his swordsmanship that he could spar against.
"Are you sure about this?" Damian asked as soon as Cade went back.
"I don't mind," Asher replied.
"Hey, you should take your position seriously," Amelia said with a frown on her face.
"Yeah, who knows what someone like him might be scheming," Damian said.
"And why would he want to spar you out of all people?" Amelia questioned.
Both Damian and Amelia didn't believe that Cade had any good intentions with calling out Asher.
Asher didn't bother to reply to them because he was thinking about something else.
'I wonder how many days it would take me to kill him with the sword art I possess now,' Asher questioned himself.
He didn't remember their fight at all, but he knew how it went.
The only reason why he couldn't remember his fight was because everything about that memory was a blur, with only a few moments that Asher could remember clearly.
The penalty of Node Art made it impossible for Asher to remember his own sword art. He was able to remember most of his fights, but his own self was blurry on those memories.
While the Party went on, some of the people left early.
Casie left as soon as she met Asher, and Alyssa left as soon as the results were announced.
Venessa also left with her because she couldn't handle the atmosphere in the Hall.
At Asher's table,
"Young Master, are you going to enter Trials Ground?" Eric asked.
"Yeah," Asher replied.
"Wait, shouldn't you wait until you are completely ready for it?" Damian asked.
"Yes, the best time to go in there is generally the end of Second Year," Eric replied.
"I don't think any First Year would enter the Trials Ground so soon," Eric added.
"It doesn't matter to me," Asher replied.
Most of the time, students were told to gather as much experience in fighting and decide a path for their future before entering Trials Ground.
At the Table where Kevin was sitting,
"I didn't think you would win," Eva said, looking at Raelyn, who joined them.
"Well, it was certainly surprising," Raelyn replied.
"After all, I didn't expect that guy to vote for the Student Council," Raelyn said.
"Maybe he had a conflict with Leonard or the Blood Faction," Zoie tried to guess.
"Whatever it was, it's good that we won," Raelyn added.
"By the way, Raelyn, who are you going to select as the next Student Council President?" Zoie asked.
"We will have to leave World Academy in three months as we are in Fourth Year now," Zoie said.
"I was thinking of Elena or Kevin," Raelyn said as Elena was surprised.
"I was also thinking of Eva, but you wouldn't like that, right?" Raelyn asked.
Eva nodded as she liked to spend her time practicing her own magic and spending time in the Great Library.
"I think Elena is a good choice as well," Kevin said as Elena looked at him.
"I will be busy from now on, so I don't think I can handle anything else," Kevin replied.
Kevin was excited to learn from Farnus, so he didn't want anything that would bother him.
From the moment Raelyn won, she decided to give the Student Council President's seat to Elena or Kevin.
But it wasn't this easy to become the Student Council President after all. Raelyn could recommend a candidate, but they had to win the votes as well.
The Party went on, but the Blood Faction members left after a few hours with Leonard.
Soon, the Award Ceremony came to an end as every guest eventually left as well.
The next morning, the whole World Academy got to know the results of the Blood Faction and Student Council.
But in the Blood Faction's Building,
"How?" Leonard said he slammed the face of a student into the floor.
Everyone was standing still, seeing Leonard take his anger on the members who were involved with persuading the student assembly.
"I don't know..." The student said nervously.
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Jack was standing across the room as he saw the bloody mess that Leonard had created.
He himself was scared, but he knew that Leonard wouldn't do anything considering his status.
"Don't know?" Leonard asked.
Bam!
He threw the guy to the wall, and he was the eighth one that was lying on the floor.
"How did we lose?" Leonard asked, looking at the rest of the members.
Gavin, who was standing there, didn't dare open his mouth.
The current Leonard didn't resemble the one that would always smile no matter what.
Right now, he himself was scared that he didn't tell the truth to Leonard.
'I can't tell him,' Gavin said to himself.
One by one, the low-ranking members were ruthlessly beaten as Leonard vented his anger on them.
"What went wrong?!" Leonard shouted.
"It was supposed to be us that should have won!" Leonard said while suppressing his killing intent.
'Was he the one behind it?' Gavin tried to think.
'No, a bunch of first years can't change the whole vote,' Gavin thought.
While Gavin was denying that it was Asher who was behind it, Asher was looking at the data that Tom had sent him.
"Find the person who messed up my plan," Leonard shouted.
Every single one of them nodded as they didn't want to anger Leonard any further.
Leonard destroyed the door with his aura as he left the room in anger.
'Tch, how did we lose?' Jack thought with a frown.
'No, Leonard Tarvian is still important,' Jack thought in his head.
For Jack, World Academy was a small stage, and he still needed to follow Leonard, who had a lot of power outside World Academy.
'I need to do as Father told me,' Jack remembered what he was told by the Allister Head.
At the Rankers Dorm at Asher's Floor,
"So, you guys got a newly made dorm?" Amelia asked, and the twins nodded.
"They said we should move there as the Grandus Twins are also staying there," Livia replied.
Amelia looked at the map location of the Dorm,
"It isn't that far from the Second Year Rankers Dorms," Amelia muttered.
"They did this so fast," Damian also looked at the map.
"Well, their classes started this week, so it makes sense why it was done so quickly," Amelia replied.
Lucas and Livia were excited to learn at World Academy as they had heard a lot of things from their tutors about this place.
"Both of you, if anyone troubles you or says something, make sure to tell us about it," Amelia said, looking at Livia and Lucas.
Damian nodded his head as well.
Lucas was smiling because now he could meet and learn from Asher whenever he wanted.
"Amelia and Asher will be busy these few months, so you can rely on me," Damian said.
"Why?" Lucas asked.
"Oh, you didn't know, right," Damian looked at Lucas.
"Both of them have to learn from the books they got from Sanctuary of Mages, so this will be the best time for it," Damian replied.
"Yeah, and Asher is entering the Trails Ground as well this time, so it would be helpful for him if he learned from those books," Damian said.
"Trials Ground?" Lucas asked.
Amelia looked at the confusion on the twins' faces as they didn't know much about Trials Ground.
They knew it existed, but none of the tutors explained it in detail.
Amelia started explaining about the Trials Ground, and Lucas's expression got wider as he learned about it.
'I can get stronger there..' Lucas thought in his head.
"When can I enter it?" Lucas asked.
"Umm, I don't know," Damian replied.
"There are two ways to enter it. First is earning the token or the special recommendation of the Rank 1 of the Fourth Year Student," Amelia added.
"But you guys are in the special class, so you can ask the Professors about that," Amelia answered their questions.
