My Elf System

Chapter 177: 177. Arena.

"Dude, so you're saying that the demon king promised to give everyone in the club five thousand gold coins if his daughter wins the tournament?"

"Yes."

Lucas' eyes widened even more after he heard what his friend said. He was from a humble background, and his parents had never even earned a thousand gold coins in a year before.

Even Lucas was curious to know how it would feel to actually touch five thousand gold coins with his bare hands.

He never thought a day like this would come so soon because, in a matter of days, he would actually be able to hold such a huge sum of money in his hands.

Although he wasn't a member of the Succubus Princess Fan Club, after hearing the rewards the club members were going to receive, Lucas swiftly signed himself up as a member of the fan club and he couldn't wait to get started on their task for today.

And this was all thanks to the demon king, who was willing to dish out five thousand gold coins to everyone in the room.

The money was enough to take care of a family of five for at least five years, so it explained why everyone in the room was eager to show their support for the demon princess.

Every one of them came from humble backgrounds just like Lucas, and they couldn't wait to have such a huge amount of gold coins in their hands.

"Wait, isn't this against the rules?" Lucas asked his friend.

"Hm, what do you mean?"

"I mean what the demon king is doing. Don't you think it is against the rules for him to be doing this? Isn't it called bribery or worse, cheating??"

"Technically, no one is doing anything wrong. We're simply showing our support to the demon princess and I'm sure the academy would understand as well."

Lucas nodded his head in understanding before he joined everyone else in the room, jumping and cheering for the succubus princess even though the tournament was yet to start.

He collected a club customized shirt from Scar, before applying a few paintings on his face as well.

The cheering sound continued to echo loudly within the room as everyone couldn't wait for the tournament to officially begin.

One might wonder why these boys weren't interested in their own participation in the beast-taming tournament, but this was because a lot of them were unable to qualify for the final selection.

Three out of the four halls in the academy had conducted a preliminary round where the best students from each hall were selected for the main tournament.

Only the selected champions could compete in the main tournament while the others couldn't, and that was why none of the people who were currently in the room were participating in the beast-taming tournament.

But while a few of them weren't selected for the tournament, the remaining ones hadn't registered for the tournament. Instead, they chose to support the Succubus princess.

The moment they were done with all of their activities, everyone left Lucas' room, and the cheering continued as they matched to the arena where everyone else in the academy was heading.

They had completely forgotten to clean up Lucas' room; even Lucas had forgotten about this as well, and no one except him would have to come back to clean the room.

This would definitely teach Lucas a valuable lesson: that he should never invite demons into his bedroom, and he should never believe the word of a demon because every word that came out of their mouth was not worth more than a grain of salt.

Only a few demons could be regarded as trustworthy, still, one had to be cautious while talking to a demon.

With that out of the way, Lucas and his new friends arrived at the arena.

The arena contained at least fifteen thousand seats and the seats were divided into four tiers.

The lower tier was the part that was closest to the action, but it was reserved for the high-ranking officials and nobles arriving from different kingdoms in the mortal realm.

The middle tier was reserved for the students who would be supporting the contestants while the upper tier contained seats reserved for any special guest from the mortal realm who wasn't a noble or an Apex mage.

Finally, the last tier contained the seats reserved for only the royal families of the seven kingdoms in the mortal realm.

But that wasn't all about the arena, as the arena also had a commentator's booth, which happened to be positioned atop the other tiers, offering the hosts of the tournament an unobstructed view.

There was also a separate platform that was meant solely for the judges although judges were only three in number.

Diego, who happened to be the guild master of the beast-taming guild, had already arrived at the academy while the second judge was Master Vorpal, and he had arrived as well, but the only one left right now was none other than the dragon King himself.

All three powerful mages or knights had been selected to become judges for the beast-taming tournament because each of them was highly skilled in taming beasts, and this made them the best candidates for this.

As the crowd continued to fill the arena, everyone could see the small crystal balls hovering around the arena as they tried their best not to miss a single minute of what was about to happen.

The arena floor was also covered with unique shock-absorbing artifacts to minimize injuries.

There were also different training dummies lined up around the arena floor as this would help to prevent the students from losing their lives due to the intense tasks the tournament officials had planned for the students throughout the entirety of the tournament.

With that out of the way, a familiar male elf walked to the center of the arena with a beautiful dragon lady by his side.
