This was also the reason all of their plans revolved around Lily; they couldn't afford to try anything funny with Leo personally.
"Hahaha," Aurex laughed.
"It will be funny if he joins us if he really is that rare other-race subject of any God-Beast... though I guess humans will finally gain a representative that will allow them to finally have a new light that will help them survive in this chaotic world."
At that, Cyrandel went quiet.
"Look at this damsel in distress," Aurex joked.
"Don't worry, I am sure some magnanimous God-Beast will have pity on your race and provide you with a representative soon enough."
Cyrandel looked at Aurex in annoyance.
"Tsk, tsk, I have been telling you to become my wife. Because at that time, I will personally pray to our Dragon God for your race's survival. I tell you, dragons like beautiful virgin women, especially if the woman in question is an elf. And our god definitely wouldn't want the eradication of the elven race, considering he himself is a dragon, so be quick with your choice."
"Shut up. A man only has a chance with me if he is stronger; even then, multiple conditions are attached to it. Your prideful ass doesn't even fulfil one."
Aurex waved her off.
"Dream on then. But I am stronger than you." He added the last sentence quickly.
"No, you're not," Cyrandel said.
"I am."
"No."
"I am—"
"And with this, we begin our first phase!!!"
The Host's voice echoed through the stadium, and Louis snapped his fingers. The opaque bubble vanished, and with it, the side of the stadium suddenly rumbled.
What came next was a huge door that jutted through the ground. Just the sight of the door screamed grandeur, with how intricate its designs were. But the door wasn't exactly a door... it was just a frame.
Louis snapped his fingers once again, and a deep yellow spatial tear appeared out of nowhere within the frame. But there was an unmistakable tinge of orange in its colour.
A Secret Realm in the preliminary stages of Pseudo 6-star.
"Students!" the Host's voice echoed through the stadium.
"Enter the realm and begin your search for a good place! And remember to safeguard the beacon even while searching; there is no guarantee that other teams won't attack you while you still haven't found a good place!"
This time, there was no need to hold hands because of the special life bracelets given to them. The life bracelets even had tiny glowing dots... 24 in number if the one larger dot was not counted.
When a glowing dot was tapped, the larger gem would glow on the connected individual, indicating to the students whether the person was still in the realm or had secretly teleported away after taking fatal damage.
And so, the academy teams started walking towards the open gates. Some were excited, some nervous, and some had their blood boiling to take revenge on their decided opponents.
One by one, everybody stepped into the realm gate and disappeared. Some calmly walked in; some ran in. And so did the recording orbs to stream the live feedback across the 3 Empires.
This was an artificial Secret Realm personally created by the Human Emperor, and thus, through specialised devices, it was possible to send streaming signals.
Each individual had a personal recording orb, and more than double that number had made their way inside as extras to record views from different angles and serve as substitutes if anyone was accidentally destroyed.
That is to say, the orbs were programmed not to record resting individuals to avoid invading their privacy.
And just like that, everybody had stepped in, and all teams had appeared in different locations of the realm.
Currently, all of them appeared at the edge of the realm, with a foggy wall behind them that would send them back into the realm through the same place if they tried to walk outside the realm.
Everybody knew one thing: the Realm Gate, which they could use to get out of here, was at the centre of his Secret Realm.
And since the Realm was unimaginably vast, students weren't meant to get out anytime soon... especially when the closer they got to the realm's centre, the more dangerous the terrain became and the more dangerous boss beasts appeared.
When Leo appeared, he immediately checked the team's total count. All 25 were present.
He and Lily immediately scanned the surroundings for dangers with their high-range [Spiritual Sense] skill—Lily as well, since she was now capable of using Leo's skill when the elemental restriction was lifted.
There was no danger within a range of 3 kilometres except for some low-level wandering beasts, meaning things were safe for them to plan things out.
"Aerial Unit, start moving around and map out the surrounding terrain. And if possible, try to gauge the distance of the centre from here," Leo instructed, and Kaelion, Uraan, Rhaegar, and Sylrael stepped up.
Uraan immediately summoned his Hurricane Falcon, and Kaelion summoned his Skyreaver, which appeared high up in the sky.
Hurricane Falcon (Peak 3-star) - Noble Bloodline
Thunderveil Skyreaver [Spirit] (Mid 4-star) - Noble Bloodline
Uraan's falcon had already advanced from Low 3-star to Peak 3-star in these 4 months, while Kaelion's Skyreaver seemed to have advanced one rank after taming. Though it seemed that Katherine had helped a lot with this.
The other students were immediately taken by surprise after the appearance of such a huge spirit beast and took a defensive stance. Uraan's Falcon was already prepared to deliver a high-speed tackle, as evidenced by its gaining height to create distance and increase its speed.
"Everybody, calm down! It's my beast," Kaelion informed them.
"What the fuck?! How long have you been hiding this monstrosity?!" Uraan was baffled at the sight, and so was the audience all across the Empire.
"Holy shit! What type of beast is that?!"
"God damn! Is that something someone can even tame?! That thing looks like it eats villages for breakfast!"
Even Louis was surprised.
"So rebellious that you'd even tame a beast out of my jurisdiction? Though... it doesn't look half bad." Louis nodded at Kaelion's choice.
Louis had even heard about the scene Kaelion had created in Milti City.
"Let's see how much more you amuse me," he muttered with a slight curve of his lips.
Back in the realm, the Aerial Unit had already departed to look at the surroundings.
Leo figured they shouldn't roam around without a proper map, so they waited for them to return. They did within 2 hours, their faint silhouette visible in the great distance.
But there was one problem.
A huge avian beast was trailing their path to attack them!
