Chapter 1093 Crowds After two days of training with Klea, Magus Shena finally arrived at the mansion with the news from the Zodiac City Palace. "The king said he would look into the matter. For now, he wants you to carry this." the Dragon magus said, extending her hand and handing the object entrusted to her to Emery. [Dragon Tears Pendant] The thing King Alduin gave Emery was a small pendant made of red gemstone, with a dragon ornament on it. It was a high-tier life-saving item that when activated could hold out against attacks comparable to Tier 7 spells for a period of time. It was something similar to the one given by the headmaster in the past. Knowing the dire circumstance he was in, Emery accepted the precious, most certainly expensive gift and swiftly stored it inside his Spatial Space. After that, the three of them left Zodiac City cautiously and headed for the Hyperion planet. "Hyperion should be a safe place for you as not just anyone can enter it. However, that doesn't mean that it is impossible to reach you while you are there. So don't lower your guard and always be alert." Magus Shena advised.𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 "Yes. I understand, senior." What the Dragon magus wanted to tell was the fact that if she really wanted, Grand Magus Zenonia could use one of the acolytes or magus that resided on the planet. After all, there were not many people who could resist the might of a grand magus. As they went down and arrived at the arena, Emery couldn't help but glance at every person they passed by. He became suspicious of any magus or acolytes who were currently attending the monthly arena event. Emery turned his head as he felt something. He found Klea with her hands on his shoulder, a smile on her face as she said, "Don't worry. You just have to focus on your upcoming fight." Nodding his head, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, a calm expression had returned to his face. Before long, the arena started, and as always, the battle began with those of lower rank. Slowly but surely, more and more people arrived at the arena, and Emery could see several people he recognized among them. For example Roran Harlight, Trish, Vida Themari, and the half-machine Atlas. Seeing the half-machine acolyte arriving together with the Demon Nunchaku Dyos, Emery couldn't help but ask them where the red-haired girl was. But apparently, no one seemed to know her whereabouts. "That girl is always mysterious like that," Dyos said. Just as he was about to ask more, Emery suddenly felt a sharp sensation on his arm. Turning his head, he saw Klea pinching him hard. She glared at him and said ferociously, "I said, just focus on the fight!" But then, her ferocious expression quickly disappeared as she leaned closer and whispered. "Don't you start worrying about her, alright..? Stop thinking negatively…" Emery stared at Klea for a moment before heaving a sigh. She was right. He had to focus on the upcoming battle in front of him. The group spectacted the dozens of battles that took place in this month's arena, as those of rank 100 to rank 20 attempted to climb the leaderboard. With the rankings of the people fighting got higher, so did the number of people arriving at the arena and occupying the seats. Before long, the whole place was packed with people. Emery swept his gaze over these people. He spotted Jinkan Nephilim, who seemed to have come by herself, as her other half was nowhere to be seen. It looked like the rumors that Eeshoo was away at the moment were accurate. Next, Emery saw the Dragon protégé Zach Talon arrive at the arena. He noticed the man throwing a glance at his direction for a second before finding a spot, standing in a secluded corner with his back against the wall. There were also two people he had defeated, Tayler Haze and Jai Strider. Coupled with Shatter Cross having arrived together with Inhuman Anzi on the opposite side of the arena where Emery was, this meant that almost all of the top 10 ranked people had come to the arena today. The sight of this star-studded lineup made the spectators excited. When Emery's upcoming opponent arrived, the battle that took place in the arena was that of Sigurd the Titan defending his 14th rank. As soon as it finished, the next battle was the half-machine Atlas, who apparently challenged the 9th rank Tyler Haze. The battle between the two was a contest of speed, where the entire arena was engulfed in powerful blasts created by the half-machine acolyte. Atlas executed multiple bombardments to flush Tyler out and limit the space he could utilize for maneuver, forcing the latter with no much place to utilize his speed. When cornered, Tyler bit the bullet and tried to take out Atlas in one risky attack. Unfortunately, it only resulted in him being caught by the half-machine acolyte's Tier 5 limbs. What followed after was close quarter brawls that ended with Atlas winning the fight. "Atlas III wins!" Emery couldn't help but be amazed when he saw how strong and far Atlas had grown. It was clear that he also needed to watch his back. Still, that didn't stop him from anticipating their future rematch. With the battle ended, the pair of names that would be fighting next appeared on the screen above the arena. [Rank 6 - Emery Ambrose] followed by another name [Rank 5 - Shatter Cross] The crowd immediately became excited when they saw the screen, especially the rank next to the two names. This was the main dish – a fight for a top 5 title of the academy that they had been waiting for. Even before the two of them entered the arena, everyone knew that this battle would not be a simple one. "Go, Emery!!" "Good luck, savage acolyte!!" Much to Emery's surprise, there was more support for him compared to the Cross Prince. Either it was because he had become much more famous or because these people just hated the Cross that much. As he walked up to the arena, Emery noticed the golden-haired Shatter Cross was staring elsewhere, a certain spot among the crowds. Then, to his bewilderment, the latter began to laugh with excitement. "Hahaha, even he came here… interesting…" Emery followed where his opponent's eyes looked and saw a bald, brown skinned youth wearing a privileged class uniform that exposed half of his chest. A necklace made of large beads can be seen hanging from his neck. A glint of recognition flashed across Emery's eyes when he saw the man. He was the person occupying rank 2, Maninder Nieves. Shatter was trembling in excitement. He smiled wickedly and said, "Exactly the audience I was hoping for!" Finally turning his head towards Emery, he then said. "Now half-blood, I'll show you what a spell should taste like!" He raised his hand to the sky, and the next moment a powerful lightning spark on his finger.
