382 Night of Awards
"It's a shame we can't go there," One of the third-year students said.
"Well, it's a night for those that are the best," His friend shrugged his shoulders.
"By the way, I saw some Fourth Year Students when we were talking with Vin Hargrave," He said.
"I forgot to tell Leonard about it," He told his friend.
"Didn't you meet near the section where you come from, the Fourth Year Dorm anyway?" His friend said.
"Listen, someone like Leon doesn't have all day to listen to all the small things you saw,"
"And he just wanted to know why the hell Eric Herod was contacting that useless nerd," His friend tapped his shoulder.
Both of them laughed as they were in good moods, and it was because they were part of the Blood Faction.
"But, it's is a shame we can't go to the Award Ceremony; I mean, I wanted to see Raelyn Whiteheart in a dress," He said out loud.
"Idiot, don't say things like that so loudly, even if things are bad between us and the Student Council. Don't forget that Leon respects Reece Williams a lot," His friend spoke in a hushed voice.
"Calm down, I am just joking around," He said, but the looks on his face said otherwise.
"By the way, speaking about Raelyn, her brother Kevin, he really defeated all the people yesterday," He spoke after a few seconds.
"The whole academy is talking about it, the first student that our Principal will teach," He said with a hint of jealousy.
Even outside the World Academy, a lot of people were discussing the Whiteheart Family and how Kevin Whiteheart became the first Successor Candidate.
In the VIP Dorms,
Sam was standing looking down as the Holographic Footage of a certain man was being displayed in front of him.
"I am sorry, father," Sam said while looking down on the floor.
"I don't want to hear your excuses," The Alfred Head said with a look of annoyance on his face.
"I don't care if you lost this one, but for the next tournament, I need you to win it," He said, looking at Sam.
"This will be your last chance before I throw that woman in the dungeon as food for those monsters," His voice was cold.
Sam's hands were trembling as he heard those words.
"Assist Jack while he works with Osbert Tarvian's son," He said as the Hologram Call disconnected.
Sam stood there, not knowing what to do.
He did participate yesterday, but he lost to a third-year student.The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
"I guess I should start training for the next year," Sam thought as he sat down on his bed.
"It would take him five years, maybe even four, till he can help me," Sam muttered.
'He is Zephyr, after all,' Sam thought in his head.
Even if Zephyr was the most wanted criminal in the World and the enemy of the High Council, and getting involved with him was the worst possible move, Sam didn't care.
If anyone could help him, he knew it would be someone like Asher.
For Sam, Asher had become a ray of hope.
"I guess people want to make a good connection with the First Successor Candidate," Eric said.
"Well, it's obvious. Just look at those guests. Not a single one of them is willing to miss this chance," Damian said in a mocking tone.
While talking, many guests were entering, and in the area where the Guests were sitting, the atmosphere was a bit tense.
Most of the guests here were either from Elite Families or influential enough to get an invitation.
But only Young People were present here.
None of the Family Heads or any Elder from an Elite Family was present here.
Anyone with an invitation could attend, but most Family Heads would send younger ones to attend this ceremony.
"Is that Cade Cranston? It's rare to see someone like him," One of the people there said.
"But the real surprise is over there," He said, glancing at another seat.
With a few ladies standing around a certain table, an incredibly beautiful woman was sitting with a glass of wine in her hands.
"I didn't expect that Lady Casie would attend this ceremony," A woman said as she smiled at Casie.
"I got bored staying at my mansion, so I thought to change my lifestyle a bit," Casie replied with a smile.
"If I had known Lady Casie was coming here, I would have prepared a gift,"
A lot of people were surprised and curious by her presence.
Someone who hadn't come out for a decade was suddenly gotten so active.
And in the social circle of influential people, Casie Hargrave was a name that they still remembered.
"Why do you think she is here, Cade?" One of the people accompanying Cade asked.
"Isn't it obvious," Cade replied.
Everyone here had an idea, but no one was daring enough to speak like that to the Favourite daughter of Xarax Hargrave.
Only Cade was able to behave freely among all the people here.
But he wasn't interested in her at all.
The reason why Cade even bothered to attend this Ceremony was because he wanted to meet Asher Greville.
This Ceremony wasn't something that the Rankers could miss, and it was compulsory to attend it.
So there wasn't a better place to meet Asher Greville.
At the table where Casie was sitting,
Even though many people were talking to her and trying to gain her favor, she wasn't paying attention to them.
'I guess I need to wait a little more,' Casie looked around.
Although the Section where the Rankers were sitting and the guests were sitting were different, they could freely interact with each other.
