The Author's POV

Chapter 150

[Congratulations, Student Rank 197, Ren Dover, you have been selected as a candidate for the inter academy tournament]

[Read more...]

Turning on my phone and staring at the notification that had appeared on my screen since yesterday, a faint smile appeared on my lips.

'...I didn't fail'

I had successfully passed the tryouts like I had promised Donna.

"Attention!"

Snapping me out of my thoughts was a loud and hoarse voice.. Placing my phone back in my dimensional storage, I stared in front of me where a large field appeared in my sight.

With my back straight and standing next to a row of about thirty students wearing thin exercise clothing, under the cool morning breeze, a rather imposing man stood in front of me. Briefly staring at everyone before him, the man walked back and forth.

As he moved, as though the wind was blowing, each of his steps caused a thin undulation of magic power to sweep the area he was walking on. This was purposely done by him to look more intimidating to the students before him.

Walking back and forth a couple more times, after he made sure everyone's attention was gathered towards himself, the instructor finally started speaking.

"As most of you have been notified yesterday night, congratulations to you all for making it past the tryouts. You have successfully impressed us and thus are now eligible for participating in the inter-academy tournament."

Pausing and staring at a couple of students, the instructor continued speaking.

"For some, this may not be the only time you will be participating in the tournament as you may as well be able to enter to next year's edition...however, for some others, this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity."

"An opportunity to drastically change your life and actually accomplish something whilst you are here in the academy."

Halting his steps and imposingly looking at every single student before him, the instructor introduced himself.

"My name is August Bartolomeu and I will be the guest instructor in charge of you all."

"Is that really him"

"Waa..."

"Who would've thought that he was the one in charge"

As soon as the instructor finished introducing himself, some of the students besides me couldn't help themselves and started whispering. Thereafter, like a chain reaction, all of the other students followed suit and whispered amongst each other.

Standing with my back straight and staring at the large field before me, I kept my back straight and didn't utter a word.

In all honesty, the student's reaction was understandable.

August Barolomeu, an unranked ranked hero who could very well enter the ranks if he tried. He had many accomplishments under his name and killed many demons back when he was fighting in the frontlines. He was one of the few unraked heroes whose name was known by most people in the human domain.

'The black ogre' was what they nicknamed him. Known for ripping his opponents in half with just his bare hands.

His relatively short hair spiked upwards, and he had a well-trimmed beard that extended all the way down to half of his neck. The feeling I got as I stared at him from the distance was that of a huge unmovable mountain. A monster if I would say.

Looking around the training grounds with his sharp eyes, the ranked Hero August Barolomeu, murmured quietly.

"These bastards not paying me enough for this shit..."

It was so subtle that only a few people could hear it, even then, those who heard it didn't say a thing. That was due to instructor August being infamous for his short temper.

The reason as to why I kept my back straight and didn't say a thing was also because of this.
