Chapter 2023 Competition Begins
Afternoon that day.
There is another orientation program, but this time it is an official one and it is happening in the Thor Academy grounds. They took the role of the host and all students from different regions gathered over there.
The Dean of the Thor Academy looked a lot younger compared to the Deans of the Olympian region.
However, Sam is sure that they are all of the same generation and similar age. At the cultivation level of the Deans, they can look however they want and this guy just decided to take the form of a late youth.
He is also the father of a Student named Thor and his name is Olaf.
Olaf looked at the freshmen with a cold gaze.
"Welcome to Norse Region my dear freshmen and congratulations on reaching this far in the Inter Academy Freshmen tournament.
I hope all of you find the accommodation to your satisfaction. If you have any problems contact Ivar from the Paradise Inn. He will sort it out.
Now to the main point.
Today will be the beginning of the Inter-Academy freshmen tournament. But we are not going to start the competitions immediately. As per tradition, in this final phase of the tournament, we conduct the Auxiliary professional competitions first and then proceed with the team battle and finally with the solo battle tournament.
The competitions will start from tomorrow at sunrise.
I will be announcing the schedule now."
He paused a bit and noticed the anticipating gaze of all the students.
"Tomorrow we will start with the Team Formation Competition. The day after tomorrow will be the Solo formation competition.
On the third day, we will conduct the team inscription competition. Fourth day Solo Inscription formation.
The fifth day, Medicine making.
Sixth day, Weapon making.
Seventh day, Puppet Making.
There are a bunch of other auxiliary competitions. Some of them are going to happen on the same day. And finally, the last two days will be team combat competitions and solo competitions.
It is going to be very eventful for Sam. Luckily he is not participating in team auxiliary competitions, or he wouldn't have much break time in the middle.
After the orientation is over, everyone was dispersed to do whatever they wanted.
Sam didn't want to waste any time here. He directly went to his room and Paradise and waited for the night.
Once the night sky hit, he went to the empty terrace. A cool breeze hit his face as he took in the beautiful view of the city.
At this moment, a waiter knocked on Noah's door.
"Miss Noah, Mr. Sam sent a dinner invite to you. He is currently on the terrace. Would you like me to lead you."
She nodded and left the room. She gave a faint smirk to the roommate who is looking at her with wide eyes. That roommate is placed there by the annoying fly of a man that was following her that afternoon.
Soon, Noah is on the terrace.
A table was already arranged with some special wines Sam provided placed neatly on them.
Sam smiled and greeted.
"You changed a lot. What's with the princess outfit? I thought I would be seeing you in the battle gear like usual."
Noah smiled and took a seat opposite to him.
"I wanted to keep a low profile here. I am trying to give off an aura of a rich young lady from a noble family."
"That is a good role to play."
"Now, tell me what you are planning. With the war tasks that we had, I am almost bored to death."
"That is what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you have any crew here? Did you bring any with you?"
"Not at the moment, I am planning on bringing them once Kumar is here though."
"Okay then, give me the energy signatures of your whole crew when they come. I don't want you guys to get swept in the chaos I am going to cause."
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
Noah asked as she tore a huge piece of perfectly cooked meat with her teeth. Sam chuckled and said.
"Right now, I don't have many goals. I am mostly preparing for the rainy days. As of now, the only goal I have is to cause as much chaos as possible. Even for that my main focus is the Olympian region."
"Yeah, rumors have been flying around. I heard you gave some serious trouble to the Olympians already. I can see it in their eyes, they are scared shitless of you, but given a chance they would love to tear your apart."
"I mean, isn't that a common category of people everywhere I go? I would be more surprised if someone isn't hating my guts."
They chatted for a while and just spent some time there. Of course, there is nothing romantic. Sam could have discussed this stuff in the restaurant as well. But he did tell her that he will act as her shield and this is him doing it.
By now all these people pursuing her would have known that she is here with Sam.
Meanwhile, Dove is sniffing around for some information, and what she learned kind of shocked her.
Not just her, all the students that came from the Olympian region found some very interesting information. Right after the towers opened, Sam caused a mess in all Olympian academies, but that is not all.
After setting the records and smashing the pride of all the geniuses there, he disappeared for about ten days from the Olympian region and in those ten days, he traveled around different regions and visited nine academies.
He caused enough commotion in all these realms, that he went through twelve trials under the Academy Realm's Judicial System and he destroyed his opponents in trial by combat. He made fools out of them.
Most of the people that had a conflict with him ended up losing all their respect there.
But the worst of all is something he did in the towers.
Dove is now standing in front of the Thor Academy Tower. She knew of this tower for a long time.
The last record was set by a man named Ivar. The alumni of Thor Academy. He climbed the Thor academy tower to the 85th floor.It was a record that was set over a decade ago and the previous record was 75 floors.
In the last decade, every one of the students tried to break that record, but no one managed to do it.
But right now, there is another name on the top of the freshmen list. It is not that hard to guess, it is Sam's name. But what shocked her was the floor he went to.
The new record is 99 floors and from what she learned he dropped out voluntarily after that. He cleared the 99th floor and went to the 100th but he didn't bother to finish it. He couldn't care less to finish it.
One must know there has been a rumor since the establishment of the academy that there are only a hundred floors in the tower. But no one managed to ascend to that level and no one managed to figure out if the rumor was true.
When Sam climbed then, everyone hoped that he cleared it, even if he wasn't part of their academy, but Sam came out. When asked why he didn't do it, he had only one answer.
"I don't feel like it."
The freshmen and seniors alike almost jumped on Sam to kill him. But the Dean himself stepped in and stopped.
And Sam did the exact same thing in eight more academies of all the important regions.
The hatred he attracted almost sent a shiver through Dove's spine. Because at this place, Sam is the common enemy of every academy that has a shot to win this tournament. Sam gave them all these seeded academies a perfect reason to team up and go head-to-head with him.
She couldn't help but gulp in nervousness.
When Sam made a mess at the Olympian region, she thought it was some personal hatred, but now it is much bigger than that.
Time passed.
The next morning Sam went to the competition just to spectate the team Formation competition.
It isn't much and it is not going to matter who is going to win it. But he just wanted to spot some talents that are participating here. And if they are from any of the player academies, he would just destroy them. A genius with a destroyed psych will always come in handy.
The day went eventfully, everyone enjoying the competitions, and teams trying to one-up on each other. It was a great day.
But the day after is time for Sam to participate.
He went to the entrance of the test area. Which is actually a castle.
The invigilator in charge of the exam stood in front of them to explain.
Sam could feel the killing intent of all the students around him.
"I am feeling slightly uncomfortable now. So, you better direct your gaze somewhere else, before I snap your fucking necks."
