165 Chapter 165:First Ordeal

[18 October]

The morning dawned slowly announcing the beginning of the tournament that was going to be filled with bloodshed.

Countless individuals will rise basking in glory while countless would be thrown out or crumble under pressure.

Some will rise, and some will fall.

Those who managed to showcase their talent, will not only earn appreciation but will also pave the way for their bright future. The nobles watching the contest would mark the students performing well and will offer them jobs after they graduate.

For commoners and fallen aristocrats, who dreamed of gaining honour and wealth, this was a perfect opportunity.

With hopeful eyes filled with excitement, students gathered onto the ground under numerous gazes.

The stadium seats were drafted over by the metallic tent to form a box-like pattern for nobles. Servants carrying various kinds of refreshments walked to and fro keeping up with the nobles' wishes.
