New day new start.

Robin groaned as he woke up, feeling the effects of the previous night's drinks. He had underestimated old man Liam's alcohol collection. He thought he was good with alcohol but it was on an entirely different level. Earth’s alcohol felt like child’s play in comparison, like comparing root beer to vodka. Sitting up in bed, he rubbed his temples, promising himself he'd pace better next time.

After freshening up, Robin left his room, met by Oliver and Andrew, who were ready as always. Together, they made their way to the campus cafeteria for a light breakfast. Robin opted for something simple bread, fruit, and a herbal drink to settle his stomach. Oliver and Andrew ate in companionable silence, respecting his need for quiet.

Once finished, the trio strolled around the campus. The fresh morning air helped Robin clear his head as they wandered through the academy grounds, admiring the vibrant atmosphere of the festival. Some nobles approached Robin offering a polite greetings. He responded with a smile, keeping his interactions warm but brief. It was still a bit overwhelming to be in the spotlight, but he was getting used to it.

Soon enough, the third day of the festival began. The air buzzed with excitement, and Robin could feel the anticipation building as the day promised more competitions.

Today's main event was a group fight, and Oliver took the time to explain the rules to Robin as they made their way toward the arena. Eight teams would be competing, with four members per team. The match would take place on a large, dynamic map featuring diverse terrains like forests, mountains, lakes, and ruins, which added an element of strategy to the competition. Each team will be assigned a home base in a corner of the map. It'll be their base.

"The objective is simple," Oliver said. "Each team has to collect as many unique items as possible to earn points.

Each item will be guarded by some monster. The map will continuously spawn items and monsters throughout the match, and each item is worth different amounts of points. Some might be common and not worth much, while others are rare and could turn the tide of the match. The common items were guarded by weak monsters and the rearer the item the monsters strength will increase. Teams goal will be slaying these monsters and collecting these items and return them to their home base safely. But the catch is other teams can steal their item before they reach their base. "

Robin nodded, absorbing the information. "So, it's not just about combat, then?"

"Exactly," Oliver replied. "Fighting other teams is part of it, but the main goal is to gather items and safely return them to base. Some don't fight monster they just stole,You need both strategy and strength. Out of the eight teams in , only one will be the winner. so the competition is fierce."

" Also each competitor is equipped with a magic item if their life is in threat they will be teleported into the campus. If that happens then the participants will be out of the game."

" It's like capture the flag "robin said as he remembered a particular video game.

As they reached the arena, Robin could see the large screen displaying the upcoming teams and the map. The atmosphere was electric, with spectators already placing bets on their favorite teams. Robin's curiosity piqued as he wondered how the noble families would perform as they like to boast their achievement.

Like the previous day aria came to the front stage to announce the beginning of the game.

One thing that was different from before was there was live commentary in the game.

The eight teams entered the arena with a mix of determination, rivalry, and camaraderie, each bringing a unique style to the competition.

One thing robin noticed was the leaks of gun in the competition.

" Why aren't they using guns, isn't it more effective against monster" robin asked oliver.

"Guns are effective but the stronger one become the guns become more useless. In front of magic and swordsmanship guns become pale.But that doesn't mean guns are completely useless it's just that the strong guns that can really kill people are prohibited in this competition."Oliver replied calmly.

The game kicked off with a burst of excitement as all eight teams spread across the massive map, each vying for control of key areas. One team, renowned for their stealth and strategy, took an early lead by sneaking into a dense forest where they collected a handful of low-value items without being noticed. However, their quiet approach was shattered when another team, who had been stalking them, launched a surprise attack. What began as a methodical gathering mission turned into a frantic fight, with weapons and spells clashing as the ambushing team managed to steal half of their loot before retreating into the shadows.

On the other side of the map, a group known for their brute strength took a different approach, bypassing the smaller items and setting their sights on a massive, high-value item guarded by a formidable monster in the mountain terrain. The battle between the team and the beast was fierce, with magic and swordplay barely holding the monster at bay. Just when it seemed like they were about to secure the prize, a third team a mix of agile fighters and mages swooped in, capitalizing on the distraction. They swiftly picked off the weakened monster, snatched the rare item, and disappeared before the brute team could regroup, leaving them frustrated and empty-handed.

Meanwhile, a different drama was unfolding in the desert portion of the map, where two teams unexpectedly joined forces. Both had struggled to progress in the game, so they agreed to temporarily ally in order to take down a particularly dangerous monster that had claimed several items. The plan worked as they coordinated their attacks, combining magic and physical force to defeat the beast and share the spoils. But as soon as the dust settled, their fragile alliance dissolved, and the two teams turned on each other in a tense showdown. Spells flew and weapons clashed, with both sides trying to outmaneuver the other. In a surprising twist, the team that initially seemed weaker managed to outsmart their former allies, teleporting one of them out of the game and making off with the bulk of the items.

Back in the center of the map, a team that had focused entirely on speed found themselves dominating the match for a while, quickly gathering items and returning them to their base. However, their overconfidence became their downfall. While one of their members was racing across the map with a high-value item, a rival team with a reputation for brute force set up an ambush. In a tense chase, the speedster darted through the terrain, dodging attacks and weaving through obstacles. Just as it seemed they would make it to safety, a well-placed spell knocked them off balance. Their health dropped dangerously low, and in a flash of light, they were teleported out of the match eliminated just inches from their base.

Some teams had fortified their bases with the items they’d gathered, defending them fiercely, while others took desperate risks, trying to steal from their rivals. One memorable moment came when two teams engaged in an all-out war near a lakeside temple, both fighting over a rear item that could swing the game in their favor. The battle raged, with spells lighting up the night sky and the sound of metal on metal echoing through the arena. In the end, the team known for their strategy prevailed, claiming the item and securing enough points to make it to the finals.

There was this particular team that just camped in the center of the map laying traps everywhere. They caught some off guard and stole items.

The atmosphere was fantastic as the final moments of the game unfolded, chaos erupting across the map, all hell broke loose when a new legendary item appeared. Players from all corners raced towards the legendary item that had just appeared, its value immense and capable of turning the tide of the competition. The moment it materialized, a frenzy broke out. Every remaining player scrambled, eager to either claim the prize or find the right moment to snatch it away from someone else.

Some players formed alliances to tackle the powerful monster that guarded the item, agreeing that they'll decide Who will het the legendary prize after slaying the monster. Meanwhile, other players lay in wait, biding their time, hoping to ambush the victor once the monster was defeated.

As the battle intensified, fierce skirmishes broke out. The teams fighting the monster coordinated their attacks, but it wasn't long before the lurking teams decided to strike. Just as the monster fell, those waiting in the shadows made their move, attempting to steal the legendary item for themselves. This sudden betrayal ignited a new wave of chaos, as the remaining teams united to fend off the intruders.

In the end, four teams emerged from the chaos, each determined to battle for the coveted item. The spectators were amazed, watching the fierce duels unfold. Each match was intense, with players showcasing their skills in one-on-one combat, strategizing to outmaneuver their opponents.

After an epic series of duels, the team that had started in fifths place finally claimed the legendary item. However, even with the item in their possession, it was not enough to secure the top spot in the competition. The team that had maintained first place from the very beginning remained unchallenged, proving their dominance in the game.

As the dust settled, cheers erupted from the audience, celebrating the unexpected twists and turns of the final battle and the strategic play that led to the ultimate outcome.

Throughout the whole match , the arena buzzed with excitement and tension. There were moments of betrayal, alliances forged and broken, and unexpected displays of friendship. Each team fought not only for victory but also to prove their worth in front of the prestigious crowd. By the time the final horn sounded, the winner was announced.The audience erupted in cheers.

All the competitors were teleported to the arena for the prize ceremony.

The game was phenomenal, robin very much enjoyed this game because it reminds him of a MMORPG game from earth.

There were many faces that competed in the game but Robin didn't notice their name as he was reliving one of his favorite games. Although their name doesn't matter to him or anything their name is their story. It's just that they are insignificant in Robin's view

The third day of the festival had been jam packed with action, alliances, betrayals, and hard-fought victories, leaving Robin and his group entertained . As Aria announced the ending of the day's events, he discussed with Oliver that he couldn’t help but draw parallels between the game and reality . The combination of strategy, team dynamics, and individual skill had made it thrilling to watch. The unpredictability of the game made it more exciting.

As the crowds began to disperse, Robin waited for a moment, taking it all in. His headache from earlier had faded. He turned to Oliver and Andrew, who had remained beside him throughout the match, watching with their usual calm attentiveness.

“Quite the show,” Robin said, stretching a bit as the excitement wound down.

“It was,” Oliver agreed with a nod.

Robin chuckled. “It’s funny how quickly things can change.”

Andrew, who had been quietly observing, simply grinned. "There was many other way to win this compilation easily it just that these kids are inexperienced."

And like that Andrew stated explaining flaws each team had.

This man was always compos, straight forward and silent but when it's time for fighting he is the loudest guy.

Robin smirked at that.

As they made their way back towards their quarters, the festival atmosphere was still buzzing in the background, Robin felt more at ease. The light-hearted competition, the camaraderie, even the momentary spotlight it all reminded him that maybe this world wasn’t so bad after all.

He might still be getting used to his newfound power in the William family.
