Chapter 495 [495] Defeat the Undefeated.
[Outside the Tower of Trials. Capitol, End of the Convergence.]
Everyone was satisfied with the conclusion of the convergence. The battle fest and all the other events had ended, and it would soon be the new year, The first year students of the academies would advance to the second years, and the third years would graduate and begin their life.
Many had fun, many also did not have fun, due to them having lost. But it was not a cause for being depressed. They were filled with motivation and a desire to fight back, to get stronger and when they returned, they would shock the world!
Just like the ones this time had! Or even greater!
It was nice to see them have such dreams, some would recognize it, while some would fall to their pathetic self and forget about it. Not everyone could be so disciplined to actually achieve their dream.
Not many were 'actually' prepared for the hard work and sacrifice it would require. They would simply gloat about their New Year's resolution and forget it the very first day, only a few percent would make it to a week and an even fewer to the end of the first month.
Only the extremely few would stick to it. And even then, it would be hard to complete it. They would make some progress, but would they complete it? Who knows?
Maybe they set a relatively easy goal and would have achieved it and be satisfied, some would have set nigh impossible goals that would take years, even decades.
Everyone was different with their dreams, just like they were different with their desire. The poorest man who wished to be rich and actually strived for it would succeed even if others had the same goal from a much better starting position, all it required was not being fucking lazy.
Besides all that, some were also satisfied with what they have achieved.
"Did you see the damn final?!"
"The final? Who cares about that! The fight between the Silver Wolf and Death Predator was much more amazing!"
'Silver Wolf' the name given to Alexander, because of his grey mana that was misinterpreted as silver because of his sheer speed, and 'Death Predator'. A name that was already well known.
It was the fight that exceeded everything, the ratings of the other fights could not even compare, even now, as they were enjoying the end of the convergence and the arrival of the new year, clips and videos of it were getting insane views.
A fight where students outperformed professionals. Now wasn't that a great title? Many professionals, in an effort to gain more fame or money even explain the fight, all they were doing was yapping bullshit and the uninformed public would believe them. Although there were some serious ones who actually did their job.
The talks about the fights were still ongoing.
Although who won was a highly debated topic, it was finally declared that Kazikato, the 'Death Predator' had won because he managed to remain conscious, whilst Alexander was unconscious at the end.
The match of Lucas was also a surprise, as he completely dominated his opponent. The next fights were different, however.
Between Elena and Henry, Henry won the fight after quite a struggle. People praised Elena for putting up a good fight because she was mainly a healer.
The fourth fight, between Olivia Olsfer, and Sabrina Wellington was...shocking, to say the least.
Everyone expected the two beauties to shock everyone. Well, they did, but not in the way people expected.
Sabrina just surrendered, stating that the objective for her participation was completed.
She only joined this competition to wreck George Drakmor, and nothing else.
After that, Kazikato went against Olivia and defeated her, and Lucas did the same to Henry.
The two fought and they tied. Lucas had almost won against Kazikato, showing that he was stronger than Alexander.
He did say he failed to get revenge during the award ceremony, and angrily shared the medal and prizes with Kazikato, who was just as better.
It was quite a funny sight because both of their faces were still filled with wounds.
The other events went on as normal. With all of them going on, people had forgotten about Alan and the tower of trials.
********
"Another Mission..."
A man with long silver hair and piercing grey eyes stared at the tablet in front of him with a grimace. Which ruined his perfect facial features. He was a man even more beautiful than Sabrina.
"You really need to go?"
A feminine voice resounded behind him, belonging to a woman with hair like golden silk, and gold eyes.
"Yeah."
He said, as he threw the tablet at the table with a disgusted look on his face, when he turned to face the woman however, it was nowhere to be found.
"Don't worry, Liz, I'll be back soon."
He smiled, showing his confidence to the woman, Elizabeth Parker. He kissed her on the lips and said.
"I'll be back, Goodbye."
He was in a hurry, as any more delay would spell a worse fate for him, and her. Elizabeth sighed as she stared at Ezra's back, leaving her vision.
"Idiot."
She said, as a tear fell down and she went away. Ezra, on the other hand, had lost all the happiness he showed to her, and only her and returned to his stoic face. He traversed the streets of the capitol, his hood covering his face and went to the Behemoth Headquarters, to receive more information about his mission.
"When will this end."
He said, knowing it would never end, His grandfather's greed was simply too much, and he was in an unescapable vow to fulfil it. He was trapped, for his entire life.
And his own family and lover were used as the cage.
He slowly approached the Behemoth building, which was near the Tower of Trials, and a sudden light made him look up. It wasn't only him, but nearly all the people in the current vicinity did the same.
And he found himself, and a kid he defeated some time ago on a screen, facing one another.
And a small number on the top of the display, showing the floor.
[Floor 100.]
"Well, I'll be damned."
He said, as he didn't care for it, and left.
Whilst the entire Capitol went into an uproar in but a few minutes.
