Chapter 389 Introducing The World Leaders

"No, we're not twins," Emma said with a hint of annoyance in her voice as this was the third time Ace was asking her that same question.

"Oh." Ace said, shifting a little distance away from her.

"We're not even siblings and I can't imagine being related to someone like her," Emma said, turning her gaze to Ella.

"I've told you up to a thousand times, that that was a mistake," Ella said before biting her lower lip.

"Nobody does something like that and calls it a mistake," Emma said looking directly into her eyes.

"What are you two talking about?" Ace asked with a confused expression on his face.

"She's your friend, right? Why don't you ask her that question?" Emma said.

"Eh....not exactly." Ace said causing Ella to immediately turn to him

"I have to get this to Miss Valerie. I would advise you guys to be careful with this friend of yours." She turned her gaze to Ella before walking out of the area.

'So she sees you as someone dangerous, that's interesting.' Jasmine said.

'Jasmine.'

"So, about what I was about you," Luis said, turning his gaze to Ella.

He had not said a word since the confrontation with Emma and now that Emma had left, he was acting like he had no idea of what had happened.

"Just tell me about it later," Ella said with a sigh as she turned and began to walk toward the stadium.

After she had walked a little distance away from the two, Luis slowly turned his gaze to Ace.

"I just want to know what happened between the two of them." Ace said.

Students were trooping in on both sides of the stands as the time was displaying 7:50 AM which meant that they had only ten minutes before the tournament began.

Tania along with Chloe and Dylan were sitting in the fourth row in the first stands.

Chloe had kept two seats for Luis and Ace and in order to keep the seats secured, she summoned her scythe and dropped it on one of the seats before asking Dylan to summon his soul weapon.

Dylan summoned his spear and she immediately took it from him and dropped it on the other seat.

The time was nearing the last five minutes now as two boys who were looking for where to sit had spotted the two empty seats.

"Excuse me, is this yours?" One of the boys asked lifting Chloe's scythe as the other one picked up Dylan's spear.

"Yeah, now drop it back," Chloe said after turning her gaze to them.

"Don't you have a better place to keep them, like your soul?" The boy asked.

"Sorry but those seats are already taken, those weapons are to keep the seats secured until they return," Chloe said looking down at their wristwatches.

That was the first thing she always did in situations like this, check the level of who she was dealing with.

The student who was talking to her had the number two written on his watch while the one behind him had the number three written on his watch.

"But they are not here, and I'm sure they haven't been here today, maybe they've gone to sit somewhere else."

"No, I'm pretty sure they are coming here," Chloe said.

"Stop trying to negotiate with her and sit down already." The level three student said as he placed his hand on the seat but before he could sit down, Chloe stumped her feet on the ground as a stream of ice quickly shot toward his legs and froze them to the spot.

"Don't you dare," Chloe said as the ice spread further up his leg.

"Fine, unfreeze my legs, we'll go look for somewhere else to sit." The boy said, gritting his teeth.

The kind of pain he was feeling in his legs now was quite unbearable for him.

"Good," Chloe said as his leg slowly began to defrost and he let out a deep sigh of relief after the whole ice was out of his leg.

"Geez, who are you saving the seats for, your boyfriends? Let's get out of here Jones." The boy said already walking out of the area.

"Yeah, my boyfriend and his friend," Chloe said with a smile.

The two boys quickly left that roll to reveal Luis and Ace who had entered the area just a few seconds ago.

"Let me guess, you heard that," Chloe said after noticing the way Ace was looking at her.

"I didn't know you were starting to think of me that way." Ace said moving closer to the seat closest to her.

"Don't get used to it," Chloe said before turning her gaze to the bag he was holding. "I see you brought more than enough snacks."

"Yeah." Ace said with a smile as he sat on the seat beside her.

Tania didn't say anything during Chloe's confrontation with the boys and although Dylan acted like he didn't care, he was quite shocked by what he had just witnessed.

"Alright, everyone get seated, the tournament is about to kick off." The sergeant's voice resounded in the speakers all around the stadium.

That was the same sergeant that had educated them on how the tournament was going to go the first time they gathered in the stadium like this.

"Here we go again," Chloe said as she picked up a juice pack from the bag, attached the straw to the Juice, and stuck the straw into her mouth.

There was a higher stand just in the middle of the main stands on both sides, that stand was meant for some special people, the world leaders.

The stand only had nine seats lined up in rows.

It didn't take long before seven people began to make their way up the stands.

None of the students knew when or how they entered the stadium, but they were making their way up the stands now.

"So which one of your parents is there?" Ace asked as he could see that there were two females among the seven leaders.

"You'll find out when their names get called," Chloe said, taking a sip from her juice.

Most of the students in the arena already knew who the seven leaders were but there were still a lot of the first-year students who didn't know who they were. Some of them have heard of them but they had never seen them before.

The leaders had occupied the first seven seats out of the nine seats in the stands and now it was time for the sergeant acting as the host to introduce them.

"Before we start the tournament, it is a tradition to introduce all of the seven world leaders for the sake of the new students who do not know who they are.

"On the first seat, we have Jackson Sunblade, the leader of the Sunblade family, the family with the strongest fire ability." The sergeant said as Jackson Sunblade got up from his seat to wave at the students who were applauding him now.

The next person beside him was Chris Molden, leader of the Molden family, the earth family, then there was Mia Slash of the Slash family, the water family, Levi Breeze who was the leader of the Breeze family known for their formidable wind abilities, Jacob Stark from the lightning family.

"And finally we have Devon Winter, leader of the Winter family, the most formidable ice users on the planet." The sergeant expressed.

The other leaders stood up to wave at the students after their name was called but Devon refused to do the same as he sat on his seat with a carefree expression on his face.

"Is that your father?" Ace asked, turning his gaze to Chloe.

"Yeah," Chloe replied.

"I can see where you got the attitude from." Ace said, turning his gaze back to the screen.

"These are the world leaders who are in charge of making sure that there is balance in the world but they are not the only ones with that job of maintaining balance." The sergeant said. "Making his way up the stands now is Commander Coaster, the header of the world military."

Just like the sergeant had said, the commander was making his way up the stands putting on a black military uniform which made him look like just any sergeant but the number of badges he had on his uniform and the red Phoenix crest were things that made it clear that he was no sergeant.

He was being accompanied by two other soldiers who appeared to be generals and one of those generals turned out to be general Freelyn.

"Wait, there's a commander in charge of all the military in the world?" Luis said with a baffled expression on his face.

"Yeah, the commander as the head of all the military is a sign that the military in all four continents are one, and that prevents any of them from ever trying to rival the other or start some kind of conflict." Ace explained.

"Okay."

'I'm not sure something like this existed between Asaka and the other kingdoms.'

"The president will be arriving late so we will have to start without him." The Sergeant said. "We will be starting with the first event of the day which is the disc dodging game."

"I wonder why we were never told about this particular event," Nicole muttered from where she was sitting in the staff section of the stands.
