Chapter 130 -130



"Are you kidding me, Letti?" Mrs. Seraphina, a formidable MILF of a woman in her forties, confronted Letti.

"No, Mrs. Seraphina, I'm not joking. He intends to compete from the Commoner's side," Letti replied.

"That's pure suicide. If you believe that kid can traverse all seven continents alone, why not declare him the City Champion?" Another commentator, a youthful man of around twenty-five, questioned.

"I can't do anything about it, Sir Landon. He wants to participate, and it's his choice."

"Well, who are we to stand in anyone's way? Let's get this started," Seraphina said as she returned to her levitating chair, hovering above the main stage.

The crowd from the kingdom gathered around the academy's entrance, eager to witness the forbidden trial that had been banned for years.

"Hey, are you certain they're really conducting it?"

"Yes, I received this information from a reliable insider."

"Well, I'd love to witness the test of life and death once again," an elderly man declared from the center of the crowd.

All eyes turned toward him.

"Old man, you participated in that test?"

"HOHOHO, indeed I did, kiddo."

"Wow."

Creak

The gates of the academy slowly swung open, revealing a massive screen in front of the establishment.

On the screen, the view of the academy's main grounds appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have gathered inside this academy to witness the legendary test that was banned long ago, not only in this kingdom but in all academies across the realm. The Night Run of the Seven Kingdoms," Seraphina announced with fervor in her voice.

"Thank you, Seraphina, but today we are witnessing something even more perilous than the legendary test itself."

"What is it, Landon?"

"Allow me to explain. On the left side of this court stand the armies of the seven Noble households.

From the prestigious seven-star Witch House, we have Jake grey, the only son of the household and Samantha grey, the third and the most beautiful daughter of the house.

Representing the seven-star Martial House, we have Luna Warwood, the second daughter of the house. She prides herself on hard work and fair play, regardless of the circumstances.

Standing alongside them is Frank Field Stonelake, the first son and heir of the seven-star Noble House of the Undeads. Tragic as it may be, he steps into his father's shoes, poised to become a remarkable leader. My condolences for your loss, Frank, but I hope you will surpass your father in greatness."

Moving forward, we have the most significant member of the noble party, Ren Denver from the seven-star Denver House of Justice. He is here to prove his worth to the world, showcasing the capabilities of the Denver House of Justice's future leader," Landon announced.

In this world, the commentators were granted the right of free speech. To provoke the other party and make the competitions even more enthralling, they were allowed to say whatever they pleased during an event.

"But Landon, who are the other two students standing beside them?" Seraphina inquired.

"Oh, they are merely five and six-star nobles from unknown families. I don't even know their names," Landon's voice resonated throughout the academy.

The two additional students from the lesser-ranked noble houses felt a pang of shame as their faces turned red.

"Seraphina, forget about them and look to the right side of the court; we have a remarkable and crazy fellow there."

"What are you talking about ?" Seraphina asked.

"Take a look. The one-man army standing fearlessly and toe to toe against the seven nobles. His name is Anon Agreil, I presume—a Commoner who dares to compete alone in this challenge from the Commoner's side. I salute this man's confidence, but he is essentially walking into his own demise. Running across seven kingdoms is no trivial feat." Landon announced.

"Well, we cannot alter what fate holds for him, can we? If he has already accepted his demise, then he must have contemplated it beforehand but if he did what he says then he will leave his name in the history. However, he does possess a certain charm; what a waste, if he dies." Seraphina spoke, disappointment evident in her eyes.

"So, what are we waiting for ? Let the race begin. Luna Warwood will be the first runner from the noble side, and Anon Agreil will represent the Commoners."

"Everyone, please clear the path from the academy gates," Seraphina announced.

The crowd around the academy gates promptly stepped aside.

"Yo, this time I will defeat you," Luna said as she approached Anon.

"What makes you so confident?" Anon questioned.

"That," Luna replied, pointing at the radiant full moon in the sky.

"The moon...?" Anon asked in confusion.

"Yes, under the full moon's night, my powers increase by 200%, and this time, I will utilize magic as well. So, be cautious," she explained.

"Ah, excellent. Let's see what you're capable of," Anon remarked.

'What a dumb girl ? She told me her skill and acted like it's nothing.' Anon wondered.

"Luna and Anon, take your positions," Landon declared.

The crowd continued to swell outside the academy with each passing moment, and other students emerged from their dorms to cheer for their favored contestant.

"Luna, Luna, Luna! Go, Luna, go! You can easily defeat that kid!"

"Yes, Luna, crush that arrogant bastard!"

"Luna, you've got this!"

"They adore me," Luna remarked as she assumed her position on the ground, ready to sprint at any moment.

"Loser, Anon. You're nothing but a loser."

"You're powerless, you bastard."

"Just perish, Anon."

"Well, it seems like I've fucked their mothers without even paying them," Anon retorted.

"Hahaha," Luna laughed.

"Are you both ready?" Seraphina inquired.

Anon nodded in agreement.

Anon's body immediately shined with a blue gradient light.
