Chapter 357: Rules


    Bloed''s battle shocked the entire stadium. Teachers and students alike were looking at him with admiration and surprise.


    They were sure that once the news about the battle spread through the city, Bloed''s name would be famous.


    After all, he had defeated ate-stage A-Rank student when he was just at thete B-Rank.


    It was an entire rank of difference.


    In truth, many students in Academy City had done simr things before. There were a lot of geniuses in Academy City able to defeat enemies with a higher mana rank.


    However, the difference was usually half rank higher at most. Plus, they could not do it as overwhelmingly as Bloed did.


    He had used only an attack to defeat the leader of [Queens of Fire]!


    As for his opponent, she was not even able to react to the attack.


    But despite the hot gazes in his back, Bloed remained calm. After returning to his seat and receiving the congrattion of his club members, he once more looked towards the arena.


    Headmistress Wave sent Me, the leader of [Queens of Fire], to the infirmary before continuing with the opening ceremony.


    It was time to exin the rules of the Wars of Club.


    The rules were rather simple. The War of Clubs wouldst a total of four weeks, during which the clubs of Academy City wouldpete to get a better ranking.


    There were two ways to increase the ranking. Through missions or through challenges.


    Academy City would release a number of missions each day that the clubs could receive andplete. Each missionpleted would give the clubs a determined number of points, and these points were used to determine the club''s ranking.


    If a clubpleted harder missions, it would receive more points and its ranking would be higher.


    The rules of the challenges were a bit moreplicated.


    A club could challenge only clubs with a higher ranking than it.


    A club could be challenged only once each week, for a maximum of four challenges during the War of Clubs.


    Each club had only two opportunities to challenge other clubs. After that, it could not do more challenges.


    If more than a club challenged the same club simultaneously, then they will have a smallpetition to decide who the challenger will be.


    If the challenged club loses the battle, then it will give its points to the club that defeated it in exchange for the points of theter, effectively switching the two clubs'' rankings.


    If the challenged club wins the battle, then it will receive a third of the points of the challenger as its reward.


    In the end, the number of points each club can get before the War of Clubs ends would determine their rankings.


    Something curious was that the challenges did not consist only of battles; instead, there was a total of fifty different modes of challenge possible, including individual battles, group battles, tower capture, hunt, race, and even cooking contests.


    The kind of challenge was decided at random, so most clubs prepared for different sceneries before challenging another club. Bloed was a bit worried about this part. If his club got something like a ten against ten battle when he was challenged, he did not have the slightest idea about how they could win it.


    In the end, he could only pray to the goddess of luck. Unfortunately, there was not such a goddess in this world.


    After the rules were exined, the opening ceremony ended. Bloed''s group then left the stadium and returned to the headquarters of Machine Revolutio.


    On the way, Bloed noticed that a lot of people were looking and pointing at him. Obviously, his performance during the battle against the leader of [Queens of Fire] had impressed a lot of people.


    Even Prince Calisto had been looking at him with start in his eyes since the battle ended. His gaze was so hot that Bloed felt a bit ufortable with it.


    He even wondered for an instant if the young prince was gay.


    Fortunately, his gaze only seemed to contained admiration, making Bloed sigh in relief.


    "It just means that my hero is very impressive. I knew that you were going to win, but I never thought you would be so awesome."


    "Mm Bloed was very cool."


    "I feel a bit of pity for the girl that fought him, though. The poor girl will be traumatized after this."


    Bloed could only smile wryly at the words of Gina, Aya, and Liu Ying.


    Actually, Bloed did not want to use [Imaginary sh] in the battle, but he did not have other choices.


    The leader of [Queens of Fire] was not weak. Quite the opposite, she was very strong.


    She was so strong that Bloed was not confident in defeating her without using [Imaginary sh].


    Thus, instead of fighting her in a long battle that he was not confident in winning, he decided to use [Imaginary sh] from the get-go.


    That way, the overwhelming power of the technique would create a sense of mystery around him and intimidate many of the parties watching [Machine Revolutio] with greedy eyes.


    Right now, many people should be wondering about exactly how powerful he was and if they could defeat him in battle.


    What is the secret behind his technique? Can he use it freely? And if yes, how many times can he use it?


    These doubts would intimidate many of the clubs that wanted to take advantage of [Machine Revolutio].


    Of course, Bloed was not so nave as to think that it would be enough to stop all the clubs that wanted to attack [Machine Revolutio]. But at the very least, it would give them a bit more time.


    Most likely, the strongest of them would wait until they have a clearer idea of [Machine Revolutio] strength to attack.


    But right now, Bloed had other troubles to worry about.


    Not even five minutes after the group left the stadium, they heard someone rushing towards them.


    When the group turned around, they saw a ck-haired girl running towards them with an anxious, apprehensive, and expectant look.


    The girl stopped five meters away from them and panted softly. She then looked at the blue-haired young man in the middle of the group and opened her lips tremblingly.


    " Brother"


    Bloed fell silent.


    For several seconds, he did not know how to reply. He could only look at the girl with aplicated gaze.


    Finally, he opened his mouth with a sigh.


    "You have grown, Eres."


    ....


    I''m not sure if the rules are clear. If you don''t understand,ment and I''ll try my best to exin them...
