7) The Summer Battle 1

"As you have all chosen your weapons, you will have combat training and battles every day starting today."

Everyone was surprised to hear that, as a big commotion ensued.

"Well, It's a very important part of your curriculum for the next 5 years. Because your ranking will depend on your Term Examination and the Matches that'llbe held for the next 5 years."

"Let me explain. Your academic Ranking is based on 2 Things. Your book Knowledge, Which decides your intelligence and The Summer and Winter battles twice every year. The summer & The winter Comp."

"All the 7500 students in the first year will be divided into 100 groups With 75 in 1 group. The Competition takes place in 3 ddifferent Months."

"Let's say that the Summer Competition starts in April. It'll take place the entire month of april. Than you'll have regular classes without Matches in May, Than you'll Continue the 2nd cour in June and there won't be any matches in july and than the 3rd Cour will start in August."

"Keep in mind regualr classes will Continue evn on tournament dates. So, you won't have any holidays than. Only the 1 hour of Evening Combat training will be dedicated to the tournament."

"Each of you will battle with 74 other players in the group you have been set up with. The tournament will start today, the very next class after this. So be preparer.

That is all."

She did her explanation and as she was leaving.

"Also, wear your combat gear and come to the training ariena That y'all have been assigned to. These are the mobiles provided by the academy. Please collect the box that has your name on it. It'll guide you to the tournament and academic guidelines. So look through them when you have time. That is all, Class dismissed."

all the people around were confused as to what was going on but i already knew what was going on.

On the other hand, i wasn't one bit surprised.

Well, for someone who understands how the story goes there's no need to panic.

I'm not really sure who he faces today but i was pretty well known about the whole tournament thing.

There's something I'm even more interested about...

It's that box that has a mobile in it.

Even in my old world... I didn't get to use a phone for atleast a year after mine was broken.

After that everyone in the family started losing their mobiles simultaneously which resulted in it taking quite a while for me to buy a new one.

And, Even in this world i don't have a mobile because I've always told my sister that i Don need it.

I mean, I already knew that the academy will give me one.

It's already been put in the Fees.

The const of this mobile has been added in the fees.

Also, this is quite costly. So i didn't feel the need to buy another.

Calorina was also very intent on not buying one.

Well, she also probably knew about the While thing and decided not to buy one.

Now than let's unbox it...

Aah, the blissful feeling of unboxing a box is like taking the clothes off of a beautiful women before doing the deed.

Well, i wouldn't know that feeling but i sure as hell know how it feels to peel this Plastic thing from the Screen...

Aaahhh... How pleasuring this is...

I could get off of this for atleast another year.

Ahm... Let's look at the content.

A mobile... and look it's the same as that famous orange company.

Wow, is this a rip off? I wonder if there's more people who are from my world.

I'd like to know.

Anyway, This sure is high tech.

Peobably even more high tech than the mobiles we get.

I swiped the screen and than pulled it towards the air and suddenly a holographic image showed up in the air.

Like those sci-fi movies.

This allowed me to see what was going to happen and waht wasn't.

It even showed my current balance.

which was 0.

Well, i haven't done much to get any money so it's understandable.

Let's see...

Tournament schedules..

Hmm, as the teacher said, The matches will be held in about 10 minutes from now and my ariena is...

72.

I see, That's my group.

Group 72 out of the 100 groups.

Hmm, there's more tou4naments available than just normal ones?

Interesting...

Huh???

This... Cannot be...

Sports tournaments? I've never heard of those before?

Is this for real?

My god...

Please be there... Please be there... Any format is fine just 1 is enough...

Waaahhhhh, It's here... and look there are all 3 of them...

Test, T20 and 50 over formats...

As a hige cricket fan I'm quite glad to see this.

So, i can participate in all these?

And there are 2 rounds for each format except Test.

Which needs only 4 teams.

I'll apply for this... It's a first come first serve so, I'd better be quick.

...

Well, i applied for all of them and i got a fitting in each of the Format.

Would you look at that... I can't believe I'll be playing cricket here after dying and coming to another world...

This is quite something.

In any case i was going to the ariena that i was assigned to i was a tad bit late but i got there.

I made excuses about being lost to which they scolded telling me to use the maps app.

To which i gave a surprised look, asking if such tech can even exist.

Well, being from another world where maps are used on daily basis, I'm ofcourse very well versed in the at of using Tech Maps.

anyway, My match was up in Groupd 4.

My first opponent was about to come out.

They seemd to be later than i am...

Lol, How funny, I hope they don't show up and i win by default.

"Aah... Aah, I'm sorry... I got lost."

The person shouted in a cheerful voice as she came into the ariena.

"I see, it's understandable since it's the first day... But, make sure you don't do it again. Use, the Maps feature if necessary... It's on your mobile given by the Academy."

"Yes sir."

She shouted as she saluted the guy who was talking to her.

"Maps?"

"It allows you to track your location and finds a route for your destination."

"Wwww whattt? Is that even legal? Should something like that even wxist?"

She said in a terrified expression.

Unlike her cheerful expression, That White as Feather book and those white clothes resembling a nun of the Church.

She wasn't just any nun of any church.

This cheerful women with white hair... Was Emilia Von Kimberlite.

The saintess of the Holy church and the princess of the of the Kimberlite Empire.

Why the heck am i having to fight her for my very first match? Are you kidding me?

She's S rank... while I'm C rank.

This match up makes no sense.

The number on her back... 1 was quite intimidating.

And the number 38 on my back was quite frightened.
