Chapter 79: Iing Battle Tournament event


    When Helena appeared, she pretended like nothing happened and began to walk with the other students back towards the gate.


    But her mind unstoppably spun from happiness.


    After they all crossed through the gate and prepared to go back to their various rooms when they appeared at the training field, Helena suddenly heard someone call her name.


    "Helena!"


    Helena turned around to look for who had called her name.


    Then she saw that it was Amber, the camp''s senior spell instructor.


    She walked towards her with a smile in her face.


    Then before she could say anything, Amber asked "How did your training go in there, Helena? Were you able to gain an increase in your spellcasting prowess?"


    "Yes ma''am. I did. I fought a lot of wild beasts and when I saw that they couldn''t present much difficulty to me again, I walked into the zone that contained the magical beasts. I was also able to kill them. Now, my spellcasting prowess had gone really up. I think with what I have gained from fighting those intelligent magical beasts, I can go out there into some kingdoms in the world and fearlessly fight formidable, wicked magical warriors who are at my spellcasting rank." Helena said confidently.


    Such confidence!


    Haha!


    Amber broke into a raucousughter.


    "That''s good, Helena. I like your spirit. Keep it up. You can still do more. And one thing..." She said and looked around to see if no one was listening or eavesdropping on her conversation with Helena.


    "Is that anytime you want to go in there; into that valley to train, I would allow you. I would create a portal for you so that you would be teleported into that valley to continue your training anytime you feel like it."


    Helena''s eyes glowed.


    She was still thinking of what she would tell the instructor so she would allow her to go into the valley so that she could go meet the Heaven-Burying ckCat Emperor without them being suspicious of her. But now, a way had suddenly presented itself.


    She then dashed towards Amber and fully embraced her.


    "Thank you, instructor Amber" Helena said happily.


    "You don''t need to mention, dear. We are trying our best to make you strong very quickly." Amber said, softly patting Helena on the head.


    When Helena pulled out of the embrace, she asked "But the Camp Overseer, would she agree with what you want to do for me?"


    "Of course. She was even the one that told me to tell you that you can go into the valley to train anytime you like." Amber said.


    "Oh. Alright. I would go thank her too." Helena said.


    "Nope. You don''t need to. Don''t go disturbing her. What she want from you is to train now as much as you can and develop yourbat and magical prowesses." Amber said.


    "Alright" Helena nodded her head.


    "Although your spellcasting prowess is rapidly developing, yourbat prowess is still seriouslycking. You are still stuck with body-training and fitness exercises because you are beingzy, Helena. You should have advanced past that stage and should have mastered basicbat skills and start learning advanced, close-quarters fighting skills and acrobatic flips." Amber said.


    "What? No! Mybat prowess is notcking. Besides, I am notzy. I have also improved in that area too even as I am still stuck with body-building training. But I haven''t really improved in it by arge margin though. However, to me, at that level that I have reached, it''s just slightly below okay." Helena retorted.


    Haha!


    Amberughed.


    "So, you want to tell me that Deylina, yourbat and fitness instructor was reporting nonsense to me?" She asked.


    "What?! No, instructor Amber. I never said that. I only said that mybat prowess is also developing. But at a slow rate" Helena said.


    "Alright." Amber said.


    Then she stated further "Let me let you in on something that would happen very soon in the camp. The Camp Overseer, Roselyn, has decided to create a tournament between your batch and the batch that came way before them..."


    Amber couldn''tplete her statement when Helena suddenly interrupted her.


    "My batch? But I came alone, instructor Amber." Helena said in a puzzled tone.


    "Helena, you are grouped together with the batch that Jennifer came with. So, you girls belong to the same batch. Now, as I was saying before you rudely interrupted me. The batch before yours who are your seniors would fight with you guys in a tournament. Bothbat and spellcasting techniques would be deployed. And you, Helena, are going to partake in this event. Whether yourbat prowess iscking or not, I don''t care. I must see you on that tform on that day." Amber said seriously.


    Helena rolled her eyes at all.


    "Instructor, but they are my seniors. They would be at either the third-level or fourth-level spellcasting stage which is respectively the Sky-level spellcasting rank and Heaven-level spellcasting rank. Also, theirbat prowesses would be really strong for us to match with ours which is flimsy. So, how would I be able to defeat them? It''s like me venturing into a dragon''sir. I would be quickly devoured" She said with a heavy heart.


    "Heaven-level spellcasting? Haha! Who told you so? Well, if they are truly at that rank, that''s your problem. We are only trying to encourage the spirit of battle in each and every of our students. We want them to always be battle-ready. Therefore, you and many others in your batch would partake in this tournament. It''s not your decision to make, Helena. So, don''t you dare retort if you don''t want to see my strict gaze." Amber said in a serious tone.


    "Ugh!" Helena uttered.


    ''It seems instructor Amber is really serious with me participating in the tournament.'' She said inwardly.


    "Okay ma''am. I would. But they would crush me in an instant if they are at the Sky-level spellcasting rank" Helena said with a contorted face.


    She could imagine those seniors brutalizing her with their powerful magic spells.


    "Well, I don''t know about that. It''s up to you to decide if they should crush you like an ant." Amber said.


    Helena exhaled.


    "Okay ma''am" She said solemnly and nodded.


    "So, when is the tournamenting up?" She asked in a curious tone.


    She could start working towards it if it was still far away.


    "In a month time, Helena" Amber said.


    "Okay" Helena nodded.


    She then proceeded to ask with glittering eyes "Would they give any form of reward to the winner?"


    Amber saw Helena''s sparkling eyes andughed.


    "Yes. There are lot of rewards to be given to the winner of the event. However, we wouldn''t have only a single winner. There would be rewards given to people who could make it to top five." Amber said.
