A sight to shake the whole world!

“Concede, or die!”

The cold, clear voice rang out to the ends of the sky, sending a tremor through every eye that beheld her.
In this moment, Bianca’s supreme, transcendent grace was laid bare before every last onlooker.
She looked down on the world itself.
Bianca’s phoenix majesty all the stunned the audience.
That proud, defiant figure was dazzling, radiant.
It struck every eye with wonder.
Griffin was in agony, with a good few dozen arrows lodged all through his body.
Rage roared up inside him, and he truly wanted to call on his beast-source power.
But under the eyes of this whole crowd, using beast-source power meant his death.
He could only endure it.
Griffin said, helpless, “I concede!”
Golden light glinted in Bianca’s eyes, like a deity without a shred of feeling.
She swung the long sword in her hand.
The arrows lodged in Griffin tore through his body and flew out his back.
Blood dripped down-Griffin was gravely wounded!
He collaps

Their power was staggering.
Finished
Only now did the whole arena understand-so this move had a hidden second strike all along!
Had Griffin not conceded, Bianca could have killed him with ease!
This was Bianca!
A peerless prodigy!
Destined to shine across all of Draconia!
A trace of relieved warmth curved at the corner of Steven’s mouth. That meek, timid Bianca of
the old days had long since vanished without a trace.
The Bianca of today was the future Ember Eternal!
“Bianca wins!”
The stands erupted in a wave of cheers like a rising tide.
The students of Orroux Academy were all chanting her name.
“Bianca!”
“Bianca!”
Bianca rode her fire phoenix down to land at Steven’s side.
A sweet smile broke across her face. “Steven, we did it. You’re first, I’m second.”
Steven took her hand and shook his head with a smile. “You’re the one who should be first.”
Bianca shook her head in earnest. “No. We agreed. You take first.”
Steven smoothed back a loose strand of her hair.
“All right. They’re one and the same anyway.”
Robby looked at the two of them, at a loss for words.
He floated to the very center of the arena.
“The top three are decided. As for this last match-there’s no real need for the young lovebirds

“I hereby declare the 88th Awakened Tournament a complete success!”

Finished
In this moment, Steven and Bianca were the biggest winners of all, and the most dazzling presence in the entire arena.
Enough to make anyone burn with jealousy.
Frank was shaking all over with excitement. This time, Oakridge Academy really was the biggest winner of all!
Three of the top ten had come out of their academy, and both first and second place were theirs!
This might be a record Oakridge Academy couldn’t break for decades to come!
Kenneth and Miles shot Steven a long hard look, gave a cold snort, and turned to leave.
Up on the high platform, Ian was smiling as well.
His voice rang out.
“Congratulations to you all. I hope that in the days ahead, every one of you will give your own strength to defend Draconia against its enemies. You are the pride of Draconia.”
“Director Toot, did any of these youngsters catch your eye?”
At those words, many turned to look at Hudson.
Hudson had said at the outset that if anyone gave a standout performance, he could grant them a military rank.
Hudson smiled. “Of course.”
Hearing that, some of the young people in the stands started breathing faster.
This was the thing so many of them dreamed of-but the ones who could actually get it wouldn’t be them.
It would surely be Steven and the rest.
Hudson smiled. “Steven and Bianca goes without saying-outstanding, both of them. A pity they’re already Awakened Squad members.”
At those words, the people who didn’t know Steven and Bianca went rigid all over.

They’d been Awakened Squad members all along!
What a shame-otherwise, they could’ve walked away with a Lieutenant General’s rank.
Hudson turned to Griffin. “Griffin, Fellaria, would you be willing to join my Orroux Military Command? I’ll grant you the rank of Lieutenant General, as a special exception!”
At that, no telling how many people turned to look at Griffin and Fellaria, green with envy.
It was maddening to watch-so many people had clawed their way through the Military Command for years and could never make Lieutenant General, and these two would walk in the door already wearing the rank!
Steven’s heart sank a little. If they let Griffin into the Military Command now, it would only mean more trouble down the line.
Griffin was still having his wounds treated.
Holding himself together, he said, “Thank you for the kind offer, Director Toot, but I don’t intend to join the Military Command right now. My plan for the future is to go out and temper myself, and later on I want to give what I can to Draconia’s Awakened academies.”
At those words, the whole arena was in an uproar-he’d actually turned it down, just like that.
Hudson’s face seemed to darken.
“Fellaria, and you?”
Fellaria shook her head flatly. “I’ll pass.”
The whole arena went dead silent-they’d both turned it down!
Was the Military Command really beneath geniuses like these?
Hudson’s expression had visibly soured.
“Fine. If that’s how it is, then I respect your choice. Wherever you are, you’re giving your strength to Draconia all the same.”
