Chapter 82: School Wars prt. I

All the students, citizens and parents were at the School gym as the event was about to start,

"Welcome everyone! to the annual twenty eighth School war, Last year's matches were all amazing and filled with intense battles, will this year be the same? we shall find out! starting the first round are the representatives of WordBagon, Class L-1!."

Everyone cheered their loudest! while amongst the crowd Atalanta and Aiden were with Anna who was at the front row getting a clear view of the field,

"Where's Mama and Papa!?." She excitedly said.

"I can't say but this is quite nostalgic for me." Atalanta said as she ruffles Anna's hair.

"I'm sure Arthur and Dorothy will be fine, right Sis?."

"On an event like this.. anything could happen." She whispered.

Atalanta made sure Anna didn't hear what she said otherwise that might make her worry.

Meanwhile below the stage, Sir. Charles was with the others below as they were preparing their needs for this round.

"Listen up everyone! I don't want you all to get hurt that much so don't over do it okay, It doesn't matter if we win or loose.. the importance is we enjoy ourselves as we face other people we don't know.. but can it be so.. try to win this." Sir. Charles said.

"Hey! that just contradicted what you said!!." May blurted out as she points angrily.

"Ehh?? no it doesn't." He replied.

Saya was recharging herself while Carla was cleaning her pistols and counting the number of bullets she has, Patrisha was merely wiping her blades clean and placed her arrows hidden in her thighs, Gray was simply asleep on a bench but he had everything he needed, Zack was already planning ahead on the best spots to place his traps while Arthur noticed Dorothy in the corner, she looked like she was trembling of fear, he then walked towards her and asked,

"Everything alright?."

She was frightened and quivered for brief moment but managed to turn her face around and replied,

"I-It's fine.. I mean I'm fine."

His brows furrowed and he smiles at her caressing her cheek saying,

"No, you're not.. I'm gonna tell you what you told me back then.. never trust a girl who says she's fine."

As she remembered her telling him that during their first few weeks of school, a tear then fell from her eye only to be caught by Arthur index finger.

"You shouldn't cry.. I myself know how powerful you are Dorothy.. so I know you can do this.. You need to have more confidence in yourself, we all trust you guiding and leading us to victory."

Hearing those was all she needed, her heart was beating normally now, the fear inside dispersing, her mind was now calm as the ocean.

"Thanks Arthur.."

She held his hand as she felt something hard in the palm of his hand, she tried to grab it but failed as Arthur then pulled right away.

"Arthur... -_-."

He backs away whistling and looking around the room,

"What was that."

"N-Nothing! I promise it was... Yes ! my bones! you see I--."

[Do you really think I'd fall for that? Idiot]

As Dorothy was about to pounce at him like a predator the P.A. announcer then says,

"Alright folks! the time is now!!."

"Okay guys! like I said, no need to over do yourselves, just go have fun and do your bests." Sir. Charles said.

Then as they were prepared to head towards the stage, The P.A. announcer continued saying,

"Let's begin with today's event.. there will be three rounds.. and three different schools participating.. In the first round.. we will decide the first two schools to face each other using a draw, A random person would come up on stage and draw a piece of paper in this box, on who's class name is written on the paper will be the ones to participate in the first round.. but the random person can only choose twice.. once the two schools are facing each other.. the third participants will have to wait on who looses for this round.. and get to face the victors of the match."

The three schools were WordBagon, SK Academy, and then the all female schools, Rainbow Academy.

"Unfortunately UD Academy couldn't make it today for they are facing a terrible crises right now on their kingdoms." P.A. announced.

"Wait so does this mean?." Patrisha said.

"Our enemies?." May said.

"Yes, they're from the other kingdoms." Alex replied their statement.

"SK Academy is from the Gura Kingdom from the east, while Rainbow Academy is from the Kaleid Kingdom from the west." Abigail said.

Gray then openly says,

"We're glad you're on our side, President, Vice President and Treasurer."

"Well of course we're on your side, but the power difference among the other schools is still large.." Alex said.

They were in shock to hear him say that, considering that the Student Council are one of the strongest people next to the Teachers.

"But either way I'm sure we can somehow pull out those odds and enjoy this at the same time." Alex said while giving them all a smile.

The random person started grabbing for anything he could feel from the inside.. the box was filled with blank pieces of papers including the papers filled with the names of the Classes of each participants.

The person pulled out a piece of paper, everyone was feeling tense on what school would go first.. WordBagon Students weren't the only ones in the gym, both SK and Rainbow Academy students were also there to see their seniors in action.

He put his hand back into the box to grab for another, while the tensions were high, all students were all calm and ready to who will go first.

This whole event for today will be broadcasted all over the kingdom, meaning everyone can see and enjoy it.

Liz and Dr. Sarah were watching it on their convenience store,

"Good luck Arthur..." She uttered softly.

Elizabeth was watching through a big tv screen that was placed outside a building for all to see.

"Don't go loosing on me Arthur.. or I might just kill you myself." She licks her lips while eating popcorn.

Merlin attached a Tv to where Tazer and Annie were at.. Merlin's face was filled with joy as he showed them his powers to make a functioning television..

"Whoahh!!!."

Annie was clapping intensely with awe in her eyes as Tazer clicked his tongue and said,

"Why do I have to watch that brat's battles anyway.."

"Oh? didn't you two fought together that one time?."

"Shut up!."

Even with the grumpy attitude Tazer was still sitting down and staring at the tv anyways, he could've just get up and leave anytime but he didn't.

"Well now let's see who will be the winner for this year.. will it be Arthur and Dorothy perhaps.. hmmm this is quite interesting." Merlin said as he himself was floating in the air, crossing his legs together and enjoying the live footage.

In the Shining Knights base..

"Hey Cameron, try turning on the channel, Dorothy sent me a text last night and they're both participating in the School wars this year." Emilia said as she head towards the couch and sat with him.

Once Cameron switched the channel and arrived at the right one, they were waiting to see their friends on screen.

And a bi eyed girl, red and blue with short grey hair said as she clenches her short,

"Do your best, Anastasia."

Anna held both her hands tightly and prayed,

"Good luck Mama, Papa."

Atalanta and Aiden were watching her wish for her parent's luck as they too themselves said,

"Good luck you two.." Atalanta was looking at both Arthur and Dorothy from her seat.

"Make your daughter proud now." Aiden said as he smirked at them from his seat.

Back at the gym the person has picked a piece of paper.. as he faced it towards him his eyes was filled with joy to finally grab a piece with a written word on it.

"Rainbow Academy!!!." He yelled.

"And there we have it folks, the first school to participate this year is the Rainbow Academy!! and now our random person will dive back into the box to search for their rival for round 1."

He dove his hand back inside to search for another name to finally start the match, the crowd was chanting "Faster! Faster!." on and on, the tension was starting to make it's way through the participants.. but they wouldn't show it to their future opponents, they held their heads high and was waiting for the result.

The person grabbed another piece and yelled out...

"WORDBAGON!!!."

The crowd yelled as loud as they can.. as the match was finally about to begin.

"We now have our participants for the first round!! Rainbow and WordBagon participants on your marks if you may."

"Looks like it's us after all." Dorothy said to herself.

Arthur then held her hand as he said to her,

"Don't worry, everyone's supporting us.. some may not be here but they're supporting us with all they got.. and besides Anna is there front and center watching us right now.. we gotta make her proud."

Dorothy smiled and took in some air and released them and yelled,

"We're going to win this, right guys!!!."

Everyone: Yeahhh!!!!!!!.

And from the other side a woman with pinkish short hair, from the Rainbow Academy said,

"Look's like this is going to be a fun battle after all." She smirked at them from a far.
