Second World Chapter 631 - 631. Composition For The World Tournament

After a while, all the matches were finally carried out. League of Champions' staff started tallying the points. The results were announced soon.

From the Warrior section, Jack and Domon came to be the champions without surprise. Jack placed first with 28 points due to winning all fourteen matches. While Domon was in second place with 26 points, losing only one match against Jack.

Warpath came third at 23 points, surpa.s.sing killmonger by only one point. Stonecleave came next at 20 points. The Man scored 15 points, placing him at eighth place. Goliath placed the last at 0 points since he didn't partic.i.p.ate in any other match after his defeat in the first match.

The results of the other sections were also announced. The Knight's section surprisingly had both champions from Everlasting Heavenly Legends, Jeanny and Giant Steve, with 27 and 25 points respectively. Grimclaw came third at 24 points.

At Rogue's section, Kill Order placed first at 27 points as well. Red Death came second at 26 points. In their match, Red Death fought to a standstill with Kill Order. But when Kill Order went up against Balo, he scored a win. Mostly because he had finished early during Red Death and Balo's fight and had watched the two's fight. He studied Balo's fighting style and took advantage of the aged monk's over-reliance on martial arts to steal a win.

In the Archer's section, David from Dogs of War had scored the top scores. Surprisingly with perfect scores of 28 points. He was the only one to get a perfect score aside from Jack. Yellow Death followed closely at 26 points. Fierce Flame, unfortunately, couldn't beat those two.

For Mage's section, the winning and losing were more varied. Probably due to the complexities of casting spells. Sometimes the top combatants lost against less favored partic.i.p.ants simply because of a fluke. Selena placed first at 25 points, with Trinity Dawn at 24 points.

Priest's section saw a similar variety as Mage's section. The Priest's matches were done by having each partic.i.p.ant aid a team of four mannequin warriors with equal power. Winners were decided by seeing how many of the mannequins in each team survived by the end of the match. Princess Purple came first at 25 points. Jason Wu came second at 23 points.

Many were surprised by Jason's placing second because of how low-level he was. Many spectators were even wondering at first why this guy bothered to partic.i.p.ate at all. After seeing him placing second, these spectators couldn't help but think if the guy might have placed first if his level was equal to Princess Purple.

Only ten were to be selected to join the World Tournament. While the first and second champions of all six sections combined supplied twelve partic.i.p.ants. Only one from the Priest's section was selected, so that left another one to be removed. Royal Advisor Mason and Gruff decided by removing the one who scored the lowest amongst the remaining eleven, which was Trinity Dawn.

In the end, the ten World Tournament partic.i.p.ants were as follows; Jack, Domon, Jeanny, Giant Steve, Red Death, Yellow Death, Princess Purple, Selena, David, and Kill Order.

Both Prince Rhemos and Prince Alonzo won four slots to represent them in the World Tournament, while Prince Therribus only had David and Kill Order. Garland was fuming as he stormed off to bring this disastrous news to the first prince.

The partic.i.p.ants who failed to obtain the World Tournament were given complimentary gifts in the form of coins and equipment based on their rankings. The ten who had won were ushered into another room by Gruff and Mason.

Inside this room, Mason first congratulated them before giving a lengthy encouraging speech about fighting for the glory and honor of the kingdom. The ten were noticeably eager for the speech to end.

After the speech, Mason told them that they should gather two weeks from now at the palace entrance. The kingdom representatives would then take them to the World Tournament venue. But for today, they needed to decide the composition of who would fight for the individual matches and who would join the team match. Both Mason and Gruff thought that they should leave the arrangement to these outworlders since outworlders were different from natives. Their understandings of outworlders were limited.

Mason reminded them to decide before leaving this room because he needed to give this information to the Council of Virtus, who oversaw the world tournament.

The ten looked at each other. Mason and Gruff decided to leave them and let them discuss among themselves. The two told the ten that they would return in half an hour. They hope a decision would have been settled by then.

When everyone continued to be silent, Jeanny decided to start talking, "Everyone. I understand that we didn't often see eye to eye. But at this moment, we are all in one boat. So I hope we can all cooperate."

"Why are you talking as if you are the leader? Who put you in charge?" Princess Purple asked, her tone was as haughty as anyone could possibly be.

"Healer's place is already fixed to be in the team, so healer has no voice in this. Everyone can just ignore the healer," Jack said.

Princess Purple stomped her feet. "You heinous man! Are you looking for a fight?" She scolded.

"Heinous? You are part of a guild who called themselves wicked. If anyone is heinous, it should be your guild!" Jack retorted.

Princess Purple's face turned red. Magic staff and companion token appeared in her hands. Selena hurriedly put a hand on her, halting her. But Selena also glared at Jack crossly, she did not appreciate her guild being mocked.

"Storm, stop it!" Jeanny reprimanded.

"Fei, apologize to the lady," Domon said.

"Eh?" Jack turned to his grandfather with a wronged expression.

Domon maintained his steely face.

"Fine! I apologize!" Jack said to Princess Purple, to which she simply turned away with a pout.

Once everyone calmed down, Jeanny said again, "I know it is hard for us to work together, but we have no choice in this matter unless you are planning to renounce your right to partic.i.p.ate in the world tournament. Now, if you all can swallow your pride, let us settle this arrangement so we can all get back to our own business."

When she saw no one was giving her a snappy remark, she continued, "Now, let us exclude the ones that are certain already. Princess Purple is certain to be on the team. We only have one mage, so Selena will join the individual battle."

Jack was just about to point out that he could be a mage as well but Jeanny didn't give him the chance to speak.

"As for the Knight role. It is Steve and me here, and we already have a talk, I will compete in the individual match while Steve will be in the team match. His Sentinel cla.s.s is more suitable in a team fight. For the Warrior section, Jack will be in the team match while Domon handles the individual match. So that only leaves the rogue and archer sections. Which two among the four of you want to join the team match?"

Jeanny was looking at the four. Red Death, Kill Order, Yellow Death, and David.

The four answered almost at the same time.

"Individual."

"I won't join a team."

"I fight alone."

"Fighting in a team will just be a hindrance."

The room turned silent.

Jeanny sighed. "Well, two of you have to join the team...," she said.

"Not me."

"Let her join the team."

"Whatever. I fight alone."

"It's a bad idea for me in a team."

Jeanny was speechless at the four.

"Screw this! Let's just throw a dice and decide for them," Jack uttered.

"You stay out of this!" Jeanny berated.

Jack didn't heed the rebuke, he continued talking. "Well, then how about following the suggestion I gave to the princes? Let the first rankers deal with the individual matches, while the runner-ups join the team match. They have me in the team, so it doesn't matter if the team gets the second-best candidates."

Red Death and Yellow Death glared at Jack since they both took second place in this selection tournament.

Jeanny pondered for a bit before saying, "if the four of you can't decide, then we will just follow this suggestion."

Kill Order and David promptly said, "I agree." "That's a good arrangement."

Red Death and Yellow Death were now glaring at those two.

"Okay, now that we have the arrangement finalized, let us discuss the team. We should organize routine training for the five in the team. It is imperative for you five to make sure that you can fight properly as a team."

"What for? They have me on the team. It doesn't matter if they can't cooperate," Jack said.

"You stay out of this!" Jeanny scolded again.

"No," Red Death uttered. "If everything is decided, then I will take my leave," she said and then just strolled out of the room.

"I don't have time for that s.h.i.+t," Yellow Death said, he also walked out.

"Hmph!" Princess Purple strutted off. Selena walked after her.

Jack and Giant Steve looked at each other. The two of them were the remaining partic.i.p.ants that were in the team match.

"I don't have a good expectation for our team match," David said to Kill Order.

"Doesn't matter to me," Kill Order replied.

Jeanny could only shake her head.
