Chapter 184 - Closing Ceremony Part-2
Chapter 184 – Closing Ceremony Part-2
As a man of few words, after telling two important points, Ramiel quickly handed the mic back to Exea who then took out a storage card and threw it on the empty space. Several boxes appeared before everyone.
Looking at the cue card, she announced, "First, Solo category. Congratulations, Ossie Felide from the Light Wind Academy on winning tenth place. Please come forward and accept your reward.
A short and chubby teenager stepped forward. Exea handed the box to his Vice-President who then, shook his hand. "Congratulations."
After congratulating him, he gave the box, which contained two cards, one was a blue colored and the other is a gold-colored one.
The blue-colored card is a prepaid card worth 1 million credits where he can use at any place in the world that allows cashless transactions. While it doesn't work on atm, one can go to a bank and withdraw the cash in the respective nation's currency.
As for the gold card, it is a flying card of gold grade, capable of transporting a maximum weight of 3000 kg from one place to another.
She continued with announcing the names one by one. From 10th to 4th, all of them received the same prize money. The only difference is that 4th -6th place participants received a gold grade storage card instead, which is a bit more expensive than a flying card.
After that, he announced the names of the duo challengers. Finally, it was groups.
The boxes disappeared one after another. In the end, only nine boxes remained. They were a little bit bigger than the rest and also have medals placed on top of the boxes.
"Now, it's time for the 3rd place of Solo category." Unlike the others, she raised her pitch a bit in order to show the importance of the top 3 winners.
"Congratulations, Skylark Flame from the Central Academy on winning the bronze medal. Please come forward and accept your reward."
After putting a bronze medal over his neck, Ramiel patted his shoulder, "well done."
"Thank you, Sir." Skylark saluted him.
While he was getting down from the stage, Skylark took a peek inside the box.
It contained a prepaid card with ten million credits, one unique 5-star skill card, and a gold-grade teleportation device card.
It was an item card that summons a teleportation device and mass teleport a maximum of a hundred people to a teleportation point.
The consumption of his soul energy depends on the distance as well as the number of people tagging along with him. This was the item he chose after thinking carefully, although it is unpopular because it can't teleport the user and can only be used on others.
A few hours ago, all the representative instructors of the top-3 winners have gotten the list so that the winners chose the prize and get it right away. Only the gold medalists who had to receive custom-made rewards didn't submit the list right away.
After Skylark had returned to his position, Exea called Vann's name. He received a silver medal, 25 million credits, one gold-grade item card, and one unique six-star skill card of his choice.
Vann, the disguised Celestial grade beast only has one goal, which is to live free without any worries.
He knew that can only happen when it becomes the strongest. So, his goal is to devour other celestial grade beasts and grow stronger. At first, when he realized Azzy and Leah are the holders of Celestial grade beasts, he originally planned to kill them.
However, after watching the finals, Vann decided to come after them after getting into the Exalt-realm (seven-star). For that to happen, he needs to devour other celestial grade beasts in the wild.
So, in the end, he had chosen a location scanner card. A while ago, the name was changed to Satellite card after the humans progressed with sending satellites to space.
When it was used, like its name, it scans the area and shows the clean map of the area from the top angle into the user's head. Since it is a gold grade card, the user could also be able to see things like aura, shadows, etc… The range will be depending on the user's soul power consumption.
Vann felt that this was the most useful of all item cards for his conquest.
As for the one-time use six-star skill card, he chose a Lifeburn skill card where one could burn their life force in exchange for an increase in strength by an entire realm for a whole hour. He kept this as a trump card.
Despite being defeated very badly, these two rewards satisfied him a bit. He returned to his position while keeping a smile on his face.
After that, it was Leah's turn to receive her rewards.
The spectators gave a standing ovation to her and cheered for her loudly in excitement.
Soon, the duo category awards are also finished and finally, it was the Group category's turn.
The third place was also bagged by the Central Academy who was defeated by Dragon Academy in the semi-finals.
Team members of Merciless Executioners just go onto the stage with the same dead eyes as before. In front of the things they lost, neither the rewards, Ramiel's encouragement, nor the cheers of the supporters moved their hearts.
In the end, the spectators could only look at them in pity
"Now, let's welcome the winner of the tournament to lift the Trophy. Champions of the Champions, team Twilight from Aclein Academy of Arcana."
*Whooo*
The spectators erupted in cheers, louder than ever. The fellow participants also clapped in response. Barbara was jumping in excitement as she clapped with a huge laugh. Amid everyone's claps, team twilight stepped forward.
"Congratulations, Team Twilight from the Aclein Academy on winning the Champions Trophy. Please come forward and accept your reward."
This is where the winner of the Group category excels the rest. Unlike others, not only they were presented with gold medals, but their team also got the Champions Trophy, which is completely made of gold, although it doesn't belong to the team members and could only stay with the academy they represented.
One by one, Ramiel put the gold medals on the champions by just saying Congratulations and good job even though he wanted to say more things. Remembering his position, Ramiel decided to talk about a few things during the feast.
Claire was then given the final box that contains a prepaid with hundred million credits, an extremely rare platinum grade satellite card chosen by Gideon, a high-grade Earth crystal chosen by Gideon, and a key pass that can use five times to attend a private tutoring session with rank-9 expert chosen by Mia.
As for the knowledge transfer of a unique skill card creation from a renowned card creator chosen by Azzy and the customized item forged by a renowned grandmaster chosen by Claire can only be arrived at a later date.
After the prizing ceremony is finished, the participants started leaving the arena under the cheers of the audience.
Now that his job is done, Ramiel also disappeared like a flash.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for the final event of the closing ceremony. Give it up for Eclipse and Sky…"
The lights switched off for a couple of seconds and when they were on, two figures appeared on the stage.
One is the familiar singer that sang during the opening ceremony. The other is a mysterious guy with a mask on his face.
The audience erupted in cheers, probably more than during the prizing ceremony.
After all, this collaboration between these top singers is the main attraction of the closing ceremony that made everyone come from afar.
Fifteen minutes later;
"Thank you." Eclipse and Sky slightly bowed before leaving the stage.
"Thank you, Eclipse. Thank you, Sky." "As of now, the Champions league 1994 is closed."
As soon as she announced those words, the lights were switched off once again, displaying fireworks.
People started to leave and as the lights were on, everyone saw tens of figures suddenly appeared in the middle of the stadium, confusing the audience as well as the host.
The leader of the group was a tall and well-built old man who was standing on top of a giant stingray.
"Hmm?" Barton frowned as soon as he saw the leader of the group. He stood up from his seat and rose in the air.
