[Gritonnia Academy]
"Have we met?"
Those wee the first words spoken by Lorius upon noticing Leah's shocked reaction. together with Mario Sith, Cynthia Fraum, and Rekka Loine, all four of them directed their attention towards Leah as they all awaited for her answer.
"Ah! No! I just recognized you, after all the six academies competition last school year really etched in the memories of its audience... especially the last battle itself, it was just simply shocking and phenomenal, it was like watching a war itself unfold in front of our very eyes"
Hearing her answer, Lorius companions seemed worried that the former would react badly with such comment. After all the battle that happened last year was truly humiliating due to the fact on how close Lorius was on winning. If it were 1 against 1, they believe that Lorius himself would have won the tournament, unfortunately they never expected that the two people would team up with each other and deal with him, due to how powerful he is.
It would have been fine if the two people who worked together were some average fighter themselves, but never did they expect that the last two people that worked together against him, are people who wield immense combat capability. In the end, with a surprising twist of event, Lorius lost the tournament ended up on being the third placer.
"Are you one of the audience?"
"Um no.... but i am one of the people who heard and watched the news through a paid telecast"
"There is a video recording of the fight?"
"More like live viewing through the orb"
" I see... Well the battle then was really intense, I've had fun"
Hearing Lorius comment regarding the battle, the rest of his companion released a sigh of relief as they somehow didn't expect such comment coming from him. After all ever since the tournament started, he was quite adamant that he would win the tournament itself. Looks like for him finding strong opponent was much more enjoyable than winning the tournament itself.
"It was quite fun, i never expected that this place would have people with such talent.... how i just wished to fight against them once more"
As he said those words, another pair arrived before Leah's booth, as Akito and Iris went forward and planned to buy some stuff in her booth themselves. But before they could even buy a merchandise in her booth, both Iris and Akito's laughter suddenly stopped, as they both slowly turned their heads to the other people in front of Leah's booth. In that moment both Lorius eyes and Akito's eyes caught sight of one another.
The moment they caught sight of each other, Akito slightly jumped back in surprise as he didn't expect to see Lorius in such a place itself. Looking at how Akito acted and how much he is on guard against Lorius, it was quite apparent on how much of a shock had Lorius impacted towards Akito.
Akito's memory back in the tournament was still fresh in his mind, he was already having trouble fighting against Shun, until such person suddenly comes up and dropped a huge chunk of land above his head. If it weren't for his skills back then, he was quite sure that he would have been killed on the spot.
On the other hand Lorius seemed quite happy to see Akit9, after all such person left a deep impression towards him. Aside from showcasing his strength towards the people in this land, he was sort of testing the people itself whether they could stand up against him and showcase this country's natural strength born from power hidden deep within them. Just like expected, he found two prospect which deserve his attention.
"I remember you!" said by Lorius
"And i remember you too" replied by Akito
"Yes well, it's only natural that someone would remember me" said by Lorius as he puts a hand under his chin
"What are you doing here?" asked by Akito
"Me? Well i'm planning to enjoy the event, this event somehow reached the ears of our academy's students and council alike from the far north, it seems like this event itself became so popular due to how it was organized... a foreign idea indeed... what about you?"
"... I'm... also planning to experience this event, after all it is quite rare to have a huge event happening in this kingdom... so its appearance is somewhat attractive to people who are bored out of their wits end"
"So your telling me, that the reason i'm here is because i'm bored?" asked by Lorius
"I... I didn't mean it that way" stuttered by Akito
" Well no need to fret about it, after all I did come here because i was bored"
As Lorius said this, he then turned towards Leah as he then begun picking the merchandise that he wanted to buy. After buying what he wanted, he then shakes hand with Akito one last time before leading his group to tour the area. After that Akito was then left astounded, as he turned towards Leah and begun choosing his own merchandise for the event.
Just like that the fruitful encounter ended, as both Akito and Lorius spends the rest of their time together with their own people. On the other hand Shun himself was still drilled with a tiresome works, as he was called back on stage together with Sephiria after all the special guests for the day had finished their performance
After the performance, Shun then once again called all the special guest unto the stage as he begun asking them questions that were collected from the crowd. As much as possible Shun and Sephiria avoided questions that involved personal life and focused more of the question regarding their work and the event itself.
After that special Q & A, they then moved to awarding some the special guest for their participation, before calling the royal family to the stage to honor the guest themselves. Naturally this came in as a shocker for everyone especially the special guest themselves, but the moment the king and queen handed them their award for the participation, a great honor swelled up inside their heart, as they feel proud of being in the stage at this very moment.
Not only were the participants were honored and thrilled to the point that they will treasure this moment and brag it to everyone they know, the audience themselves left with a heartfelt cheer that literally blasted through the roof and comparable to a wild golden buzzer in every talent show back on earth.
From that day forward, people regarded the convention as something grand and honorable, after all if they ever had a chance to become a special guest for this event, they would have the honor of meeting the king and queen personally and receive gratitude from them which they could boast from one generation after another. So in order to become a special guest in this event, popularity is a must.
From that point on, arts and talent begun to bloom in the kingdom as artistic talent became equal in importance towards magic and swordsmanship. In the far future, there will even be an academy solely for the artistic people themselves, thus arts bloomed in this world.
