"Ahh, what a great meal!" Seira exclaimed while rubbing her full tummy.
"Oi! Didn't I tell you to not overeat? You might fight first, you know? Here, take this." Shye reprimanded, giving the midget a pill that would allow her to digest the shitload of food properly she ate in merely five minutes.
Shye was rich, so he didn't mind spending on the digestion pill, even though it was quite expensive at five gold apiece.
He even brought twelve pieces of it just in case.
"Hehe, my bad, boss! The food was just too good, and I got carried away."
It was a simple conversation between two youngsters; however, it irked the elitists to no end.
They couldn't stand how at ease the Valenzians were acting.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait much longer, as moments later, Lord Hale Eversong, the head director of all ten, rose to his feet.
"Everyone, I trust you enjoyed the meal. If you'd like more, feel free to visit the buffet table. I know you're all eager to connect with your peers from other regions, so I'll now explain the rules for the next part of our event—the much-anticipated sparring matches between heroes and young talents," the head director said, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
He knew that at every Heroes' Banquet, this was the moment the young participants eagerly awaited.
A strong performance could not only help them make a name for themselves but also prove their potential to be mentored by the heroes who had brought them here.
More importantly, they were determined to prove their superiority and showcase the dominance of their regions.
This was especially true for the youngsters from the second-ranked Deltra Region, who eyed the Yon Augennians like hungry wolves.
Likewise, most of the youths from the ninth-ranked Krebori Region were eager to humiliate Shirley and her group, determined to demonstrate that Krebori would always stand above Valenzia.
The youngsters' blood surged with excitement, their hearts racing and bodies primed for action.
They couldn't wait to prove their skills.
Anyone could challenge anyone, but the youths from a region could also choose to simply watch without issuing or accepting challenges.
However, by doing so, they would forfeit their chance to win the prizes prepared by the WAA.
Consequently, the youths almost always opted to challenge others or accept sparring challenges.
Moreover, declining challenges were generally frowned upon.
If a youth chose to do so, they would likely be labeled or insulted as a coward by participants from other regions, making it unwise to reject challenges.
Insulting someone was not against the rules, so the choice was clear: either fight or accept the label of a wuss. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
All of them were passionate youths, and naturally, none wanted to be labeled as cowards.
This made fighting inevitable for Shirley and the others.
"Any other questions?" Hale Eversong asked, his expression as stern as ever.
After scanning the crowd for a few seconds without anyone raising their hands, the head director nodded in satisfaction.
"Good. Since the rules are clear to everyone, let the sparring matches begin! Our moderator here shall take over to ensure that the challenges would be issued in an orderly manner."
Once he finished explaining the rules, Hale returned to his designated seat at the Yon Augenn table, allowing the moderator to step forward with confidence.
She was a petite young woman with an average chest and bottom, yet her exotic beauty could have brought about the downfall of a city in ancient times.
Her curly black hair was styled in a bun, her skin had the perfect tan, and she wore a long dress with slits that highlighted her alluring hips and enticing curves.
In an instant, the hearts of a few young men were captured.
"Hello, everyone! Thank you for joining us at the Heroes' Banquet! I'm your moderator for this event, Scarlet Bardott," Scarlet introduced herself cheerfully, then turned her head toward the Yon Augenn table before continuing:
"Now, let's begin with the top-ranked region. Ladies and gentlemen of Yon Augenn, is there anyone you would like to challenge?"@@@@
