The Author's POV

Chapter 235

The weekend passed by in the blink of an eye, and the day of the tournament had finally arrived.

Reporters filled the academy campus and different colored buses appeared on the roads of the academy as they entered through the main gates. All of the major and minor academies in the human domain had gathered here today for this event.

Everywhere I walked, I could see people. It was as though I was in Times Square New York back on earth during Christmas times.

It was very crowded.

"Can you share with us your thoughts on the tournament?"

"What are you planning on achieving?"

"Who do you think the favorites of this tournament are?"

As I walked around, I could overhear the conversations the reporters were having with some of the students.

Some of the students came from the Lock, and some from the other academies.

"Where are they?"

Arriving at the academy main gate, I looked left and right. Unfortunately, no matter where I looked, I could only see an endless amount of people trying to get in.

Right now, I was looking for my parents.

Once they learned of my participation in the tournament, they forced me to send them tickets to the event so that they could watch it live.

'No, we want to watch it live! Since you're performing, I want to cheer for you!'

Was what my mother said when I told her to watch it on TV.

Since I knew that arguing with my mother was pointless, I quickly gave in to her demands thus leading to the current situation.

"Ren!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out for me. Turning around a smile appeared on my face.

"You guys are here"

"Of course! We would never skip such an important day for you!"

With Nola in her arms, my mother walked up to me. Behind her was my father who nodded his head towards me. I nodded back.

"Bwudar!"

Nola called out for me as she extended her hands in my direction.

"Come here"

"Tehehe"

Grabbing Nola by the armpits, she suddenly giggled. My brow raised as a result. An evil thought crossed my mind.

"Oh? Did that tickle you? Do you want more?"

"Kyaaaaaaahahaha!"

Faintly tickling her armpits, Nola suddenly screamed. Hearing her screams, I smiled even more and tickled a little bit more.

"Ren, stop bullying your sister!"

My mother scolded me as she slapped my shoulder.

"Alright, I'll stop, I'll stop"

"Big bwuaddar is a meanie"

Looking at me, Nola pouted. Tears gathered at the side of her eyes.

"Aww, I'm sorry Nola. I'll make it up to you by winning okay?"

"Hmph"

Nola turned her head around and ignored me. I scratched the side of my neck.

"Alright, you win"

Sighing, I decide to resort to my secret weapon. Tapping on my bracelet, I took out a piece of candy. Instantly Nola's eyes lit up.

'Hehe, I'm already well versed in the art of bribery'

Nola was a very easy child to appease. Just a simple piece of candy and she would instantly forget any grudge.

"No, I don't want"

Just as Nola was to grab the candy, she suddenly stopped. Retrieving her hand, she continued to ignore me.

"Eh?"

The gears of my mind stopped working for a second.

This was not how the script was supposed to go. She was supposed to take the candy and quickly forgive me. Why wasn't it like this?

'Ah, maybe she wants another candy. How cute'

Suddenly a thought struck me. This was indeed plausible.

"Alright, here"

Taking out another piece of candy, I put it in Nola's hand. Once again, she shook her head.

"No!"
