Chapter 412 The Competition ( 2 )
Within the arena, the cheering and applause from the audience reverberated through the air, their enthusiasm fueling the adrenaline of the competitors.
The noble families, adorned in their finest attire, watched with keen interest, their expectations high for the students from their respective academies.
However, their attention was also drawn to the central platform, where the First Prince of the Kingdom, Oliver Millton, resided. Donned in a luxurious robe of red and gold, he occupied the highest honor within the arena.
Despite his prestigious presence, the First Prince chose not to deliver a speech. Instead, he graciously allowed the event organizers to proceed, lending his ear to their announcements and directives.
The one who stepped forward to address all the participants was Odessa, the Royal Mage. Despite her relatively young age, she had earned the title of the Sky’s Strongest, known for her remarkable feats such as toppling five war airships alone and defeating many Arcanists who dared to impede her while floating in the sky. Currently unaffiliated with any of the 12 factions, Odessa served the Royal Family.
“It has been quite some time since I was invited to witness the skills of the young practitioners from the 12 prestigious Arcane Academies of our Kingdom…” Odessa began, her voice carrying a sense of anticipation. “I eagerly look forward to each and every one of your performances. As you are all aware, we have arranged better rewards for the winners of each event, aiming to encourage your utmost dedication and excellence.”
She paused, her gaze sweeping across the participants gathered within the arena. Clad in their academy uniforms, their aura radiated with potent Arcane Energy.
Odessa smiled, appreciating the sight before her, and continued. “To ensure that the audience that has gathered here today will not be disappointed, we shall commence with the first event: the Spectacle of Talents! Unleash the beauty of your Arcane Arts before this vast audience, leaving them captivated and in awe!”
As Odessa finished speaking, a wave of excitement surged through the participants.
They were initially informed that the Clash of Champions would be the first event. However, it seemed that they would be able to relax first and showcase their abilities.
After all, this competition was the easiest one since they only had to perform… They only need to showcase their mastery, creativity, and the sheer artistry of their magical abilities.
Soon, the event proceeded similar to how their professors discussed it
With hearts brimming with anticipation, they prepared to step onto the stage, ready to leave an indelible impression on the audience and the judges of this event.

The event commenced with the fourth-year students from each academy taking the stage. One student from each batch was selected to showcase their talents in this highly anticipated event.
Soon, the sequence of performances was announced, building up the excitement within the arena.
The first to step on stage was a female student from the Holy Arts Academy.
It appears that this was deliberately done since the one selected for this event was none other than the third Princess of the Kingdom, Ceres Millton.
Vale even had a feeling that once the Princess had finished her performance, the First Prince would also stop watching and leave the arena.
“She looks absolutely graceful.…”
“As expected of the Third Princess, she shines brighter than the sun!”
Whispers of admiration and excitement spread throughout the crowd. The spectators recognized the significance of witnessing a member of the royal family participating in this event.
Ceres, with her long blond hair cascading down her back, stood on the stage with an air of confidence and grace.
“Student Ceres… You can now begin!” The umpire announced.
The anticipation in the arena was palpable as the signal to start echoed through the air.
Ceres didn’t hesitate after hearing the signal.
With a wave of her hand, she activated her Holy Arts, setting the stage for a truly spectacular show.
A radiant glow enveloped Ceres as she tapped into the holy magic within her. Beams of light, shimmering with ethereal energy, burst forth from her fingertips. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝒆.𝙘
The audience gasped in awe as the lights danced and twirled, painting the air with vibrant colors.
With each movement, Ceres weaved intricate patterns in the air, creating mesmerizing shapes and symbols that seemed to come alive. She called upon the power of her Holy Arts to manifest illusions of celestial beings, their ethereal forms swirling and twirling around her.
The arena transformed into a beautiful, heaven-like realm as the audience watched in awe. Even clouds of light gently swirled around Ceres, creating a breathtaking backdrop for her performance.
Perhaps this performance would be perfect if there was an enchanting melody to fill the air and captivate the hearts of everyone.
As the performance reached its climax, Ceres unleashed a burst of holy energy that enveloped the entire stage. The audience was bathed in a soft, radiant light, and a sense of peace and serenity washed over them.
“Sanctify, Rejuvenate, Radiance, followed by Benediction… Impressive… That final burst of energy must be a wide-range Exorcism Spell… That actually looks good.” Odessa commented as she couldn’t help but appreciate the Third Princess’ performance.
Even the First Prince couldn’t help but smile after seeing her performance.
Needless to say, the panel of experts was equally entranced by Ceres’s display of talent. 𝑟.𝘤𝘰𝓂
They marveled at the seamless integration of creativity, skill, and harmony in her performance. It was clear that Ceres had not only mastered her Holy Arts but had also infused her own unique style and artistry into her showcase.
As Ceres gracefully concluded her performance, the audience erupted into thunderous applause, their cheers echoing throughout the arena.
Ceres, her face beaming with satisfaction, took a bow, expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming support from the audience.
‘I’ve won…’ Ceres silently thought as she calmed her breathing. She believed that the next students wouldn’t be able to surpass her performance.
The bar had been set high, but the excitement and anticipation in the arena only grew as the audience eagerly awaited the next enchanting display of talent and artistry.
