Conclusion of the Semifinals
[-In the Arena-]
Right after Shams defeated the armored titan in one blow, it caused waves of reaction.
Mostly, everyone was left astonished at the scene of the young boy taking down a powerful opponent in just a single blow.
Shams could be seen with his black body suit and a mask covering half of his face.
His black hair blown by the smoke and wind caused by the fall of the armored titan.
No one could comprehend immediately what just happened.
Utterly astonished at the scene they just witnessed.
All attention was on the screen, zoomed in towards Shams.
From a near life and death situation into a complete victory of the team of Hawks.
Even Feilong, Ganki and Ruh were surprised to find out that Shams took down the armored titan in single blow.
They could not comprehend how powerful Shams could be to defeat the armored titan in a single blow.
"School of Master Wushu takes the first place. Qualifying first … for the -Grandfinals Round- of the tournament!" the announcer confirmed to the audience.
Loud cheers and rousing applause from the audience echoed all over the entire arena.
"In few moments we will get some words from them but for now … the medical team will have to escort our first qualifiers! From almost becoming a snack of the armored titan and now they have somehow defeated the armored titan. Who would have thought? Those bunch of kids would turn out to be our first qualifiers! Proving everyone that … they are big contenders for the championship." The announcer shared his assessments with an enthusiasm.
Staff members of the organizing committee sighed in relief altogether.
Upon knowing that they had avoided a disaster.
While everyone in the arena was in jubilant mood, the members of the noble family were in complete shock.
Especially the headmaster of the Jade Clan.
"H-how could this be, father? I thought things were handled?" the daughter of the headmaster asked her father.
In his fury, the headmaster choked his servant and killed her on the spot.
Other servants shook in their fear.
Blood dripping from the mouth of the female servant.
Things happened too quickly, even the dead servant was not given the chance to resist or defend herself.
"Looks like Master Wushu has another powerful disciple on his sleeve. It really annoys me when that old man gets hold of the promising disciples!" the ruthless headmaster vented out his anger.
His fist were clenched tightly with the stain of blood on his hands.
A thought came into the headmaster's mind, the possibility that his henchmen did not utilize the best possible means to make sure the defeat of the disciples of Master Wushu.
"Haven't I specifically asked all of you to make sure that the disciples of Master Wushu will lose the semifinals?" The headmaster of Jade Clan redirected his anger towards his henchmen.
Immediately they bowed their heads and prostrated to the floor.
In their fear of getting killed by the headmaster of the Jade Clan, all of the henchmen were prostrating and begging for their lives.
"We thought it was enough, master!" one of the henchmen reasoned out.
Altogether, in unison, they begged for their life.
"Brother, spare their lives! And let them redeem themselves … If they do not rectify it, after the tournament … you can easily dispatch them." One of the noble members of the Jade Clan intervened.
Sitting next to the headmaster with his huge sheathed sword behind him.
The eyes of their headmaster was gleaming in red fury.
It was noticeable how infuriated the headmaster was.
His deadly aura simmered down after contemplating on the words of his brother.
"PFt! Make sure they lose in the grandfinal round of the tournament … Or else I will not be as forgiving!" stated by the headmaster.

Meanwhile,
The -Semifinals Round- of the tournament in the {Junior-Ranked} Division was concluded.
"For the grandfinals round of the in the {Junior-Ranked} Division. The final match would be between …"
The announcer continued, "The Disciples of Master Wushu Vs The Disciples of Master Narcisso!"
Members of the audience were cheering loudly for the announcement of the matching of the grandfinals.
On the stage were two teams standing in front of the crowd.
"Everyone wants to know, how did you defeat the armored titan? What technique did you use to defeat the savage armored titan who seemingly powerful enough to render your teammates in a struggling condition?" the announcer did not sugarcoat his question and went directly to ask Shams.
Hawks was not happy at all after hearing what the announcer mentioned and asked to Shams.
Maya immediately interjected before Shams could answer.
"It was all teamwork! A plan we devised beforehand. He would use all his power while we distract and weaken the defense of the armored titan and when the right time comes … he would use his final move. It worked perfectly just like what we all planned for." Maya elaborated her answer to the announcer.
Even though the announcer was intending for a specific technique but he noticed the tension in Hawks' eyes caused by his question.
Because Hawks was considered as the leader of the team.
And for Shams to defeat their opponent in one blow. Kind of diminished his role as the leader of the team.
"Oh, well! There you have it our first qualifiers … for the Grand Finals !!!" The announcer declared.
After the -Semifinals Round- of the tournament in the {Junior-Ranked} Division was concluded, days passed and other divisions went through smoothly.
Concluding the entire -Semifinals Round- of the tournament in the favor of the School of Wushu.
Garnering all first place qualifiers for the –Grandfinals Round- of the tournament.
Though, Master Wushu was having a hunch that there was an involvement of noble clans but he had to make sure.
So, Master Wushu instructed his disciples to stay within the compound of their temporary cottage for the tournament …
While he investigates on what happened with the -Semifinals Round- of the tournament in the {Junior-Ranked} Division. Specifically, about the armored titan in the dungeon.
Master Wushu uttered to himself upon leaving,
"Truth be told … I will protect my disciples from any harms brought by the greedy nobles! Hell will scorch on this realm once something happens to my kids ..."
He looked at the sight of his disciples in a festive mood.

Advance Plea!
By March 7, it will be my birthday.
I plan to buy something special for my parents and order some seafood for my family. It is a favorite of my parents. Instead of asking a gift from them, I plan to give them a gift for raising me and sacrificing a lot for my education.
Once again, thank you so much!
