Junior's Tournament (12)

Mu Yue directly hugged Xiao Yan without saying anything else. Xiao Yan then also hugged back.

"Congratulations on winning, Mu Yue. As promised, you can give a command that I must obey. Anyway, it was quite the tough fight huh." Xiao Yan said.

"Mmmmm…" Mu Yue hummed as her body collapses on Xiao Yan's embrace. She was tired, so tired that she was starting to feel sleepy.

Xiao Yan felt the increasing weight and decided to face Mu Yue to ask. Instead, she saw Mu Yue dozing off, her eyes trying to stay opened as they were starting to close.

Xiao Yan went to the seats and ask their seatmates if they could seat at the other areas. They saw the sleeping Mu Yue and complied with her requests. The seats were like massive stairs, made out of stone where the people can seat. She lay Mu Yue down, her head was currently lying on Xiao Yan's lap.

The others intend to congratulate Mu Yue but Xiao Yan quickly made them go away, afraid that their noise will awaken Mu Yue from her sleep.

Xiao Yan was sad from seeing Mu Yue with bruises and wounds. Yet, she was also happy that Mu Yue was currently laying on her laps. She wanted to feed Mu Yue a healing pill but she was afraid that it might choke her instead. She then calls for Liu Yang and requests her to clean Mu Yue's wounds and also bandage them.

When it was her turn to fight, she again calls for Liu Yang. She requested Liu Yang to give a lap pillow to Mu Yue as she needs to go fight her battles. Liu Yang accepted it without any problem as they carefully switched places, trying to avoid disturbing Mu Yue's sleep.

When Xiao Yan finished her fight, she wanted to switch with Liu Yang. It was then that the principal approached them. They have a short chat before the principal carried Mu Yue back to her room.

It was already the morning of the next day when Mu Yue wakes up. She was on the bed, being hugged by Xiao Yan. She wanted to get out from Xiao Yan's hug carefully yet her movements awakened her instead.

"Good morning, Mu Yue." Xiao Yan said when she saw Mu Yue after opening her eyes.

"G-good morning to you too, Xiao Yan. Sorry for disturbing your sleep."

"*Yawn* No problem, I already had a good amount of sleep anyway. As for you, surely you had a good sleep since you've been asleep since finishing your fight."

"Ah, yes. Maybe I was really tired yesterday to be able to sleep this long. Also, what happened yesterday after I slept? What ranks did Fei Hong and you get?"

"Fei Hong got second while I got first. Now I have an additional chance to give you a command which you must obey. Also, you should go ahead and take a bath, Mu Yue. You stink!"

Realizing that she directly slept after a tiring battle which made her body full of sweat, she quickly said, "Your fault for staying with me! I'm gonna go ahead and take a bath."

As Mu Yue gets out of the bed, Xiao Yan asks, "I should be able to bath with you now, right? As my reward."

Mu Yue was flustered when she heard this and before she can reply, Xiao Yan talked again.

"Not now though. Go ahead and take your bath. We have to hurry since it's still the tournament day. Well, I won't be able to enjoy it if it's this short."

"Hmph, it's what I was planning to do anyways!" Mu Yue yelled and then closed the door of their room with a bang.

They hurriedly did their morning routine and joined the others. The group then went to the tournament site.

It was the day when the main portion of the tournament will start. The Combat Tournament was the competition where they will find out who the best of their generation. For the reward and glory, the students will do their best to reach the top.

In this portion, 80 students will compete. Only 10 will receive rankings and rewards. Not only these, they could also attract a master that will make them their disciples. Although there were cases that non rankers became disciples, those in the top 10 still has the highest chances. Another reason that this competition exists.
