As the opening ceremony ended, all the teams exited the area.
They were all divided into four groups.
Red Phoenix.
Blue Dragon.
Green Turtle.
White Tiger.
Each team will randomly face off against a team from the other groups but will not face anyone in their group. This is a different format that was decided by various seniors.
Serra wanted to ask some questions but it wasn't the proper time to ask.
Each team were then asked to draw lots.
Lilia came to draw a lot as the leader of the team.
The others had no words against it but according to Aies, it was because she was the luckiest of the group.
The other three... were simply put, quite unlucky or merely average.
The unlucky one was actually Luisa.
She merely nodded to that assessment.
So, with regards to position or luck,Lilia was chosen to represent them as the one to draw a number.
The number Lilia drew was...
436.
Lilia then returned.
"436? I'm not sure if it's lucky or unlucky but time will tell."
Luisa evaluated.
"I'm sure that it'll be lucky. Lilia being chosen as the leader so she could draw a lot was actually a factor in her being determined as the leader."
Seileen added.
Serra looked surprised.
He turned to Lilia.
Lilia wryly explained.
"While I may be the leader... Luisa has great strategies and is more composed than I am so certain situations, they listen to her. No me."
Serra stared at Lilia.
"They decided the important role of leader... because of luck?"
He asked increduously.
"It's not all luck."
Luisa said.
"Lilia actually has talents in leadership but she's quite bold. In the beginning, she was quite reckless but after some time, her talents bloomed so she became leader."
Seileen added.
"Actually, Lilia is more bold and brave and is more popular than Luisa. The most critical factor is actually luck. You see, we held an internal competion to decide who should compete. The process of determining who fights who is determined by drawing lots."
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Seileen stopped there.
"And in that tournament... Luisa had the ill luck of fighting three top contenders all the way while Lilia only had to deal with weaker ones. That luck... made the elders name Lilia leader while Luisa the vice-leader. Also, it's in consideration of her victory."
It was fairly reasonable.
However, given Luisa's strength and intellect, she would be the leader while Lilia the vice-leader but her luck made the elders reconsider. They thought that she'd be unlucky enought to get the top contender as the enemy and result in an early defeat.
Furthermore, Lila did possess leadership qualities that influenced the final decision.
Either way, Lilia had actual ability to back things up.
"I understand. That's a rather unique way to determine the leader. Regardless of their actual strength. So, who are we facing?"
Serra understood then shifted the topic to more meaningful things at hand.
The rest understood that while Luisa accepted this, she was still feeling bitter about the result thus they wisely chose not to speak more of the event than needed to make Serra understand.
Even Aies kept silent despite her playful nature.
Lilia followed suite after Serra and spoke.
"I'm not certain... Still, we should receive something soon..."
A large shadow of a muscular man appeared behind her.
"Hey girlies! It hasn't been too long hasn't it? Remember me?"
Standing half-naked without his top clothing revealing his large muscular chest, was Lezner.
The proctor they fought sometime ago.
Lilia turned around and upon seeing that muscular brute's flesh closely, she made a simple reaction purely out of disgust.
She screamed loudly drawing some curious looks and said in a loud voice that made even Lezner dumbfounded...
"AH! PERVERTED EXHIBITIONIST!!!"
Panicking greatly, she drew her weapon and attacked.
................................
After some time, she calmed down.
During the time she attacked, another supervisor appeared.
A tanned lady with a very beautiful figure.
Upon arrival, she instantly attacked Lezner.
With an expression of utmost fury on her face,
"YOU DAMM LOWLIFE LECHER! DIE!"
"Wait! Listen to me! It's a misunderstanding!"
"What misunderstanding!? I just saw you attempt to sexually harass a minor in front of me and you even stripped your clothes! What nonsense are you muttering in front of me!?"
While talking, she kept attacking furiously.
The women present looked at him with scorn while some men looked at him in disgust.
"Wow. This pervert attempted to rape a girl during the tournament right here?"
"What a lowlife. It's rare to see such a blissful moment when someone attempts to make trouble at the tournament. Let's go see how they'll deal with this one."
"You're right. Seeing a pervert receive proper judgement is a satisfying thing to see."
They sneered as they watched on.
"Wait! I'm a supervisor too! I have proof! Here's my medallion!"
He immediately showed a gold medallion with a green sword and shield emblem engraved on it.
With that, the lady stopped attacking but still looked at him coldly.
"I see... You actually abuse the authority given to you to sexually harass a girl then?"
"That's not it!"
Lezner cried out.
"Please wait... It's like this..."
Lilia calmed down and explained.
Upon hearing her explanation, she then looked at Lezner again.
Just as she was about to speak, a voice came over.
"What's going on here? I heard that there was a fight and a pervert appeared."
Several elders wearing gray robes appeared.
Giving out a sigh, she rougly explained the situation.
An elder wearing a monocle looked at Lilia then Lezner.
"I see... Sigh. Lezner, I keep telling you to wear a robe properly during these kinds of events but you still didin't listen. Aria, this is Lezner. He's genuinely a proctor here but he's rather eccentric. There will be no punishments for either party as this is partly Lezner's fault for not showing the proper decorum as a proctor."
At that, Lezner laughed while the robed elders merely glared at him.
The crowd dispersed upon hearing those words.
"You disgraceful musclehead... This isn't even the first time it happened..."
That elder muttered.
Lezner just laughed wryly to that.
The elders left along with that woman but before that, she gave Lezner a glare and said to Lilia:
"If this pervert actually molests you, simply make a report to me later and I'll personally castrate this pervert for you."
As a respected elder and as a woman, she also viewed Lezner who brazenly reveals his chest as a pervert in this tournament.
Thus, she naturally stood on Lilia's side.
"Thank you senior."
Lilia gratefully said.
Lezner merely rolled his eyes at that exchange.
On the other hand, Serra and the rest merely nodded in affirmation.
Lezner seemed like a muscle-head ruffian so they couldn't help but nod their heads.
