Chapter 332 End Year Tournament - III
End Year Tournament - III
Arman was standing in the Portal Dome giving orders to the Staff while waiting for someone.
"And make sure relay the message to the Medical Facility that-," Arman stopped midway through as he sensed the arrival of a powerful SS Rank Hunter.
"Just relay what I told you for now," Arman said. The Staff member nodded as Arman went outside and saw many cars.
The Security Teams from all those cars stepped out as a single man exited the car in the middle, and opened the door for two kids, that looked like 13 year olds.
"So these are Ivar's children," Arman muttered as he saw the Crimson Red Eye.
When Arman first saw Lucas's face, he found it very similar to Ivar's and he had no doubt that they were truly Ivar Greville's kids.
There were a lot of rumours surrounding the twins, but Arman knew that these two were in fact Ivar's children.
"Young Master, Young Lady, follow me," The man said as he noticed Arman standing wearing the World Academy's Insignia and the 3 Stars across his shoulders.
Lucas noticed Arman, and he remembered his face from the Representative Tournament.
"Welcome, I am Professor Arman," Arman introduced himself.
Arman looked up to the man's face, and he recognized the man that was guarding the twins.
One of the three SS Rank Hunter of the Greyhound Group, Kark Sermon.
"I will be the one guarding them," Kark said. Arman nodded.
"Follow me for now," Arman said, looking at Lucas and Livia.
This was the second time Lucas and Livia had been to the Portal Dome, but now they would be heading to the World Academy, of which they had only heard tales.
They arrived at the Portal Gate. Arman signaled the staff to activate the Teleportation Gate. It opened instantly. Arman glanced at Kark, who positioned himself behind Lucas and Livia.
Lucas and Livia stepped forward into the teleportation gate, and Kark followed closely behind.
"They are quite calm. I wouldn't expect any less from his children," Arman commented as he turned away.
On the other side of the Teleportation Gate, Lucas found himself at the entrance of the World Academy, taking in the expansive view.
"It's so big," Livia exclaimed, looking around.
"I can finally meet Big Sis," she remarked, glancing at Kark.
"Yes, I will escort both of you to the Inner Sector," Kark confirmed. Lucas and Livia nodded in response.
"By the way, did you know that professor?" Lucas inquired as they moved towards the Bridge Area.
Kark's facial expression altered momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure. He hadn't expected Lucas to pick up on such a subtle change.
"He was in the same year as your father," Kark answered honestly. "Were they friends?" Livia asked, her interest piqued by the mention of Ivar.
"Hmm, not really," Kark responded.
"Oh, I see," said Livia, as Kark continued to trail behind them.
Lucas didn't ask any more, but he didn't think both of their reactions were simple.
Lucas was extremely sensitive to how people reacted around him, and his observation skills were so good that they even surprised some of the tutors the Greville Family hired.
But despite his suspicions, he didn't force Kark to tell him more about the topic, as his mind was focused on meeting Asher and watching the tournament as well.
They soon reached the security checkpoint where the Security Team of World Academy joined them to keep an eye on Kark, who was there to protect Lucas and Livia.
"Will we use them to travel?" Livia asked as she looked at the hoverboards.
"Yeah, you just need to channel your mana and control it," Kark responded.
Lucas and Livia stood on the hoverboards, and they got used to them in a few seconds.
"This is fun," Livia said, looking at Lucas as she moved around on the hoverboard.
The staff members were a bit surprised, and it happened twice for them.
First, when the Grandus Twins came and now with Lucas and Livia. They didn't expect some 12-year-olds to get used to the hoverboards, which were quite tricky to handle for someone not used to manipulating mana.
"Let's go," Livia said as she immediately rushed towards the Entry of the Outer Sector, and Lucas hurriedly followed her.
Kark did the same but followed them from a distance, allowing the twins to explore the Outer Sector and various buildings made for the students.
Because of the End Year Tournament, the Outer Sector was mostly empty, as even the employees of various stores were watching the tournament.
"Liv, don't go too fast," Lucas said as Livia looked back.
"Don't worry, Lucas," Livia assured, but it didn't ease Lucas's worries.
However, he was as excited as Livia, even if he didn't show it.
When he first heard from Arthur that both of them would be joining the World Academy, he couldn't believe it, as all the tutors had told them they would only join the World Academy when they were around 14-15 years old.
So when Lucas found out he could learn and spend time with Asher as well, he was very excited.
Soon, they arrived at the Entrance of the Inner Section, where Kark stopped as this was as far as he could accompany the twins.
A staff member was also present there and quickly guided the twins, instructing them on how to confirm their identity.
Kark stood there, ensuring no one disrespected the twins. His aura even made the staff member a bit uneasy.
Livia and Lucas stayed still as a ray of red light scanned them, called out their names, and the door opened revealing Amelia and Damian on the other side.
"BIG SIS!!" Livia rushed in, and Amelia hugged her, lifting her into the air.
Lucas looked around but didn't see Asher. Damian noticed Lucas's behavior immediately.
"He's in the Ranker's Dorm," Damian said.
"Don't worry, we'll be going there," Damian added, and Lucas nodded in acknowledgment. Amelia noticed Kark on the other side of the open door. Kark bowed his head slightly in respect, and Amelia nodded back.
With the twins now with Amelia, Kark felt at ease.
"I can't believe Mom and Dad didn't tell me you guys would be joining the World Academy," Amelia said, setting Livia down.
"We didn't know either," Livia replied.
Livia admired the beautiful garden at the entrance of the Inner Sector of the World Academy, clearly impressed by its beauty.
"Amelia, we should go to the Rankers Dorm before Asher leaves for his match," Damian reminded Amelia.
"Yeah, let's go. We'll watch the tournament from there," Amelia replied.
"We have our matches around the same time, so we'll tour the Academy later," Amelia said, looking at Livia.
"So we'll watch you fight?" Livia asked, and Amelia nodded.
But before they could proceed, Professor Elsa appeared before Amelia, looking at the twins.
"Professor?" Amelia asked, surprised by Elsa's sudden appearance.
"So these are Lucas Greville and Livia Greville?" Elsa inquired, and both Lucas and Livia nodded.
"Don't worry, I'm just here to give them their ID Bracelets," Elsa explained, noting Amelia's confusion.
"After all, every student needs one, right?" Elsa remarked, producing two bracelets, one for Livia and one for Lucas.
Some faculty members already knew about the twins' arrival, but many were surprised to learn that the Greville Twins would be joining the World Academy, along with the Grandus Twins.
The announcement hadn't been made yet, but Farnus had told Arman to begin preparations, and Elsa was among the few professors in the know.
"And I'll count on you guys to explain all the rules to them," Elsa said, looking at Amelia and Damian.
"Yes, Professor," Amelia and Damian replied as Elsa left.
"Who was she?" Livia asked, tugging on Amelia's uniform.
"That was Professor Elsa Robles, and she's a very powerful mage," Amelia answered.
"Yeah, and from what we've heard, she's one of the more lenient professors at the World Academy," Damian added.
On their way to the Ranker's Dorm, Amelia and Damian pointed out a few important places to Livia and Lucas and explained the basic rules of the World Academy.
Amelia was quite pleased to see Livia, as she had been disappointed when she found out vacations were canceled. She had been looking forward to spending time with them, and the vacation announcement upset those plans.
It was only yesterday that Sylvie informed Amelia about their admission to the World Academy.
"And this is the Ranker's Dorm," Amelia said, stopping in front of the impressive building designed by some of the best architects in the world.
"Wow, is this where you live?" Livia asked Amelia.
"Yup," Amelia replied with pride.
Lucas was also taken aback by the design of the Ranker's Dorm.
"Let's go inside for now," Damian suggested, and the twins followed them into the Ranker's Dorm. They began to explore the spacious lobby, which was also quite stunning.
Ping!
Suddenly, Damian received a message on his ID Bracelet.
"It seems the timings have changed a bit," Damian mentioned, glancing at Amelia.
