"Class D, Class M, Class F, and... Class C… '', Looks like it’s gonna begin with a rather easy round. One location at Station 2 was shown in the paper, and after that, the station announcements reflected the entire draft of the contestants.
.
"Station 1: Class A, Class O, Class I, Class E, and Class G.”
.
"Station 2: Class D, Class C, and Class M.”
.
"Station 3: Class H, Class J, Class S, Class F, and Class H.”
.
"Station 4: Class B, Class K, Class O, and Class N.
.
"Station 5: Class P, and Class L."
.
Each station and it’s participants got announced in the whole coliseum, with each one having unique set up. Most participants looked at each other. Many participants of the Stations that’s going to front Class S and A, were sweating bullets and looked terrified. But still, there were a few with calm minds and cooperated with each other. Meanwhile, Gpysy simply smirked at their station placement.
"What a damn good luck…”
•—•—•—•
"Well, it’s a good thing that it worked.”, I smirked as I surveyed the placement of my team and the others. Although that [Miracle Invoker] had cost me atleast half of my mana, the competition would be way smoother for us.
"This'll give me time to survey those nobles, and to gain some more insight of their organizations...", I mumble to myself.
*Sigh*
"Now then…”, With a sigh of defeat, I took out the camera in my [Inventory].
‘The Path of LiveStream’... Why does this shitty side quest exist? And the rewards are better than the main quest too. Well, that’s the only reason why I choose to do this thing anyways, the rewards.

The start of the first round were announced sometime. For the Class D, they will go against the competitors of Class C and M. They still had to be wary, as despite Class D having an advantage, Class C was still of higher class.
Their Station’s Battleground were set within a frozen island, being surrounded by a massive icebergs, and a frozen ocean. In the middle, where the island rested, was a snow mountain. Aside from the freezing temperatures, the most dangerous part of this region were the constantly shifting icebergs and the ice sheet that could easily break apart should they fight continuously. Also, the island and mountain within the middle had treacherous terrains and wild beasts.
“For all grounds, we're on the snowy one?”, Gypsy mumbled in annoyance and disappointment. He preferred the jungle or forest, rather than this. Aside from the terrain itself, they had to worry about lots of factors too, like the temperature and the beasts that lived within it, other than the enemy teams. Aside from this, they also need to set up base that wouldn’t easily be seen, and would grand them advantage.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Although, they also need to take factor of their positioning, to easily be able to counter any raids and see incoming opponents. Although Gypsy knew that the top of the mountain were the best to set up base that would give them advantage, it was also where the temperatures are to the extreme, and journeying to the location is surely not an easy task.
“It’s too cold here, Allen!”, Mely complained and looked at Allen with begging eyes. She stuck out her arms towards Allen too, as if requesting a warm hug.
Allen, who noticed this, simply smiled wryly and let out a dry laugh at her invitation.
“Ahahaha…”
“You’re at it again...”, Mely sends Allen a pout of disappointment at his words, though he maintains his wry smile and refusal.
“Haaaa... It sucks being the mob here.”
“Says the character who actually had dialogs.”
“But still, I can’t stop appreciating how cool Allen summon is!”
“Yeah, he was so cool, I really wish I got him!”
Many of the boys admired Allen’s summon, liking it’s cool looks and appearance. Meanwhile, the girls liked it’s mysterious and bad boy vibes.
“Kyaaah! I’m so jealous, I really want him!”
“I wonder… Is the guy handsome beneath that mask?”
•—•—•—•
*Sigh…*
The attention’s on me again. I was summoned here a while back to keep an eye out for trouble, or for me, if anything came up. Although Allen expended quite a bit of mana, I could just give him mana potions.
But still, even though I kept myself quiet for the last hour, I still seem to garner everyones attention.
“Damn… Not only did he got a powerful looking summon, he also got one that can give his summoner a mana, also providing support… I can only imagine how useful he would be in battle”, Randier spoke in admiration, staring at me with stars in his eyes.
“Shhh...”, Gypsy commanded the group to be silent, immediately the group came into silence only the sound of the snowy winds came by, Allen looked around, Mely kept her hand on summoning.
“Something’s coming!!!”, Gypsy yelled out to his team, narrowing his eyes to the incoming silhouettes of people within the far away blizzard.
“Yeeehaaa!!”, A loud battle cry greeted them from above, quickly dropping down from the skies.
“Watch out, they are aiming for the ice below!”, Gypsy commanded. Immediately, the team scattered and went to the nearby iceberg to avoid the incoming enemy.
“Geronimo!!”, A gigantic figure came in view and crashed into the ice into the ice. Immediately, cracks started to form in the surface, before the ice shattered into pieces.
“A Roundy Yeti...” Allen said, staring at the summon who attempted to sink their team into the ice.
It was a summon that was fit for an aggressive play. As they were naturally living in the snow, it made the Class D at disadvantage. Their abilities consist of rolling into a snowball and charging at their opponents, as their body structure are quite flexible while their fur are metal plated. Their hides are also stretchy, yet also extremely tough.
“It’s the Class C!”, Mely shouted, recognizing which summon it was.
“Get ready!”, Gypsy commanded, as he kept a tight watch at the summon and the fast approaching opponents.
“Allen, only use our trump card when it’s needed. Let’s show them that they can’t take us lightly.”, Gypsy snapped his finger, and his summon came out from his side.
It was a clockwork, like a guardian and a scholar. It wore purple robes, and on his arms lay a giant book, depicting numerous runes.
“Gypsy... Is that your summon? It’s cooler than I expected…”, Allen spoke, surprised at his friend’s summon.
“Allen, I’m also a noble. Plus, this summon is not powerful at direct confrontations.”, Gyspy said, pointing at his summon.
“The Servant of Scholar, a unique summon that can be acquired through bloodline of the Veda household.”, Gypsy explained his summons history
“They are one of the most versatile Support – Types, with special abilities.”, He adds, smirking at Allen.
“When an unstoppable force obtains an aid, they will be quite the challenge.” Gypsy looked at Kaide. I observed the summon quietly, and it also did the same. A small smile formed on it’s mouth... A feeling of welcome surfacing on its face…
It seems that this summon was a rather useful one. Well, now I know the reason behind gypsy qualified for Class A.... This guy can really embodies the Nobles’ purpose.
