The Author's POV
Chapter 242
It was early in the morning, and following what was sent in the email yesterday, I made my way towards the Lock private area.
As I entered the room, the first thing I noticed was three individuals sitting at a round table.
I could instantly feel a deep and oppressive aura emanating from their body.
'Ebonie Wills, Mark Mendez, Perry Crossley...', I muttered underneath my breath as I looked at the three individuals sitting on the round table.
The three strongest students in the academy, and the heads of the three major factions in the Lock.
Calmly walking forward, I joined the small crowd of students that had gathered around them.
None of them dared to sit down with them as they just stood and watched them.
At the moment, a solemn atmosphere shrouded the room.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tapping on the table, a burly individual with short brown hair and green eyes spoke up, disrupting the silence. His voice contained hints of annoyance.
"Let's get this over with. I don't have much time to spare for the likes of this childish gathering."
"Shut up you brute. It's because of people like you that we have to hold these kinds of discussions"
Sitting opposite to him was an elegant youth with bright blue eyes and brown hair.
A look of disgust appeared on his face as he looked at the burly man opposite to him.
"Mark, Perry, can you guys shut up for five minutes?"
Standing up was a beautiful girl with tanned skin, black eyes, and dirt blonde hair.
Glaring at Mark, who was the elegant youth, and Perry who was the burly individual, the tanned girl, Ebonie Wills, walked towards one of the TVs and picked up the remote.
'”Clink!
Turning on the TV, Ebonie pressed a couple of buttons before a large data table appeared on the TV screen.
ãRankingsã - ãPointsã
Lock Academy - 986
Theodora Academy - 904
Lutwik Academy - 888
Vellon Academy - 867
SilverWing Academy - 803
Kukz Academy - 745
DeathSigil Academy – 711
Dusk of Dawn Academy - 657
Everlight Academy - 656
PridedHorses Academy - 640
Looking at the TV screen I thought, 'Those numbers seem similar to the ones I wrote in the novel...'
Though I couldn't remember the exact numbers that I wrote in the novel, I remembered that on the first day the Lock did not surpass 1,000 points.
This was a very important piece of information to take note of since it suggested that as of right now the tournament arc was progressing just as it did in the novel.
Not sure how long this would last, but for now I could more or less be able to infer a little bit of what was to come in the future.
"Let's talk about serious matters."
Putting the TV remote down, Ebonie pointed at the scoreboard projected on the TV screen.
"As you can see, as of right now we are overall in the first place."
"Indeed. But I don't think we need to hold a meeting to point this out, no?"
Perry, the burly individual, spoke up as he crossed his large arms. Ebonie nodded her head in response.
"True, but there is a problem"
"What problem?"
"...According to the data, we're slightly behind last year's first-day record."
