After the commotion that happened, they took a 30-minute break before starting over.
Meanwhile, Carlos' case was being resolved. The tournament was being broadcast live, and the police were on their way to confession to the crime.
On the other hand, Luiza would not be sentenced to anything. Before participating, they had already signed a clause that no one would be responsible if injured; no matter how severe the injury, the only punishment would be if there were deaths. Other than that, Luiza did not need to respond to anything she did. She knew a lot about that and used it to her advantage.
After that, the tournament was back on track. The participants challenged each other again, but none were equal to Luiza, and only challenged one and then stopped.
This made the tournament drag until midnight came.
"There are tents set up, and each participant has their own. The ten best tents are those who are sitting on the chairs." The mayor appeared and said, "Rest tonight, and we'll start tomorrow at six am."
By the time the participants got out of their chairs, some went to try to sit down, just to get the feeling that those who were sitting in the chairs did. However, an invisible force prevented them from sitting down, and some even fell face down on the ground when pushed by this invisible force.
Frustrated, they gave up and went to their designated stalls.
After simple calculations, it was feasible to imagine that this tournament could last more than four days, possibly even a whole week, depending on the speed of each participant's matches.
So far, only 2 have been eliminated. The two cockroaches, Elijah and Maicon, managed to survive with 1 loss, but as they managed to win twice, they still had 2 chips, meaning they could lose another two times before being eliminated.
Amon and the top 10 were assigned to an area that was having a barbecue.
Unlike the rest, who had to eat simpler food, not totally flavorless, but it made their mouths water in jealousy as they looked at the top 10 who would eat barbecue that smelled yummy enough to make them drool.
With her usual playful look, Ariel said, "Amon, do you remember anything? I noticed that almost the whole time you were meditating, at least you managed to get stronger?"
Amon looks at her with his indifferent eyes and says in a neutral voice, "Maybe."
.
.
The next morning, after breakfast, everyone was back in place.
The top 10 has not yet been challenged, although some already had 4 wins when it was close to noon.
Suddenly, around noon, Old Hazael got a message. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Friends, I'm sorry, I'll go ahead and choose the students I want to go with me."
"Hazael, do you intend..." Before old Malvina could complete what she was going to say, she also received a message, and the color of her face changed. "What a coincidence, I also intend to do the same."
Before long, everyone received similar information, and they no longer wanted to waste time waiting for the tournament to end.
Old Hazael floated in front of the arena and said in his aged voice, "Excuse the intrusion, young people, I will now choose students to attend UGRG University. You, you, you, you and you."
Pointing his left index finger, he chose a total of five people.
"Old bastard!" Even Karl couldn't help but be angry. The chosen by the old man were at least 3 of the best, while it was still uncertain why he chose the other two.
"Old man, I'm going to fight you for those two girls." Old Malvina pointed to Ariel and Barbara.
"I want that boy." Jardel pointed to Amon.
"Amon Tang, correct?" Karl looked at Amon and said, "I'll be the best option, I'm even willing to give you lots of rewards if you choose to go with me."
Ariel laughed a little. She already knew which one to choose.
Barbara, Julia, and Maisa looked at Amon.
"I'll go with him." Amon pointed to Old Hazael.
"Me too!" Barbara said hastily.
"The same for me," Julia said, soon followed by Maisa.
Ariel smiled and said, "I'll go with him."
"Why?" Old Malvina didn't understand. Her university was the best choice, especially for women.
The same was true for Karl and Jardel since, among universities, Old Hazael's comes last.
"Hahaha, you guys are too silly~" The old man chuckled, "Didn't you realize how close they are? Of course, they will choose to go together."
Jardel arched his brow, the lower-left corner twisting in disgust, "Still, these twins are useless, and, despite being a little talented, they're very common. Their future is just mediocre."
Before Old Hazael could speak, a voice full of indifference and coldness echoed, "Idiot."
"What did you say?" Jardel's sharp eyes flicked to Amon.
"Besides being an idiot, are you deaf?" Amon said with the same indifference as he got up, "I don't blame a blind man for not being able to see, but if he can, and is still not able to see anything? If that's not stupid, then I don't know what is."
Maisa and Julia turned red in the face. They felt extremely offended, but inside, they felt that maybe they were what he said, after all, among the five, the two were more common, and before meeting Amon, they wouldn't be able to be where they are, even if they managed to stay in the top 10 so far.
"Naughty boy...!" Jardel turned red with anger as he lunged toward Amon.
Suddenly, Old Hazael appears and starts laughing like an old man, "Hahaha, little Jardel, what do you think you're going to do with a student at my university?"
Jardel stopped, although very angry, this old man was very strong, was stronger than him, however proud he is, he wouldn't do something so reckless, "Old man, better get out of my way, or else I'll call my grandfather to deal with you!" He threatened.
As if he'd heard a good joke, Old Hazael chuckled, "Hahaha, little Jardel, you're hilarious, yes I'd like you to do that. It's been a while since I last hit little Jordan."
"Bastard...!" Jardel gritted his teeth. He knew this was true, but things changed, and his grandfather was no longer the same... "You'll pay for this!"
"Hahaha." Old Hazael faced this threat and looked at Julia and Maisa, "What this brat said is right, they're blind, don't mind them, just make sure you slap them in the face when you get the chance."
Malvina looked at them and sighed. Her university only accepts women, even if she wanted to, she couldn't invite Amon, and she couldn't see any reason to invite Julia and Maisa. 'In the end, this smart old man got better.'
"Grandpa, you're interesting~" Ariel giggled like a bell as she told him this.
"I see you have good eyes, Hahaha!" Old Hazael was not offended and laughed even louder.
.
.
After Amon and the girls left with Old Man Hazael, they went to his intergalactic ship.
"I imagine you want to visit your family before you go, yes?" Old Hazael asked.
"Yes." They agree.
"Okay, I'll give you 24 hours before we leave, sort out any outstanding issues. It will take at least 5 months before you get a chance to come back and visit your family." A little more serious, Old Hazael said.
.
.
At the same time, Elijah and Maicon were outraged, but Jardel, who saw the anger the two had for Amon, had a sinister plan and recruited them both.
'That smug boy.... I will make these two worthless ones stronger than him, and then he will pay for the humiliation he caused me!' His eyes were bloodshot. If he didn't get revenge on that old bastard and that boy who likes to act nonchalant, his name isn't Jardel!
Elijah was happy with the chance he got. As foolish as he was, he understood he was about to be used against Amon, but what does it matter? If used to end Amon's life, he was willing to sell his soul to the devil!
Like Elijah, the rancor Maicon held was immense. He wouldn't be satisfied until he made Amon bow to him and had Ariel begging like a bitch for him. At the thought of Ariel on her hands and knees begging for him, his expression distorted.
'Fuck if I'm being used!' He thought.
.
.
Many were disappointed when the tournament ended. They couldn't see the best fighting. But somehow, this caused a stir, mostly speculation was made about Amon and the envoy of Golden Phoenix University.
The fact that Amon calls Jardel an idiot and blind in a global network made many admire him. Especially when it was protecting his stepsisters.
Julius, who saw this, began to cry. He was proud of his daughters and of the stepson who had protected them even in the face of someone so strong.
"Ahh, what am I going to do, my sweet and beloved daughters are going away…" He starts to cry with a touch of loneliness.
For many years, Sonia was the mother of the twins, and she was also very surprised by what Amon did.
'For all these years, I was completely wrong about him...' She sniffed, then couldn't stand it and cried.
Julius hugged her, and they were both crying like two teenagers.
"We're back…" When they arrived, Julia, Maisa, and Amon heard the sound of crying coming from the living room.
Julia and Maisa looked at each other and had an awkward smile, and sighed.
They felt insecure about going to a place so far from home. It wasn't just a distant country; it was a planet, yes, they would go to another world. And they could only come back after months. They couldn't help but feel scared and insecure.
Perhaps what made the twins more comfortable was the fact that Amon came along. If not for that, by now, they would both be crying like their parents.
