“Ladies and gentlemen!” The host on the stage shouted. “Now that all the students have prepared themselves to fight, are all of you ready for this year’spetition?!”


    “Yeah! ss A will win!”


    “ss A!”


    “Although ss A has won all these years, we have seen a lot of close calls that threatened their position. Last Year, ss D even defeated ss C in the first round and fought against ss A!”


    “Yeahh! ss D will win again!”


    The host smiled. “For our first round, ss A will fight against ss B. Both sses pleasee to the stage.”


    Aldred crossed his arm as he watched the students stepped onto the stage. “The tournament is a group fight?”


    “Yes, Master Aldred. It has always been a group fight.”


    “Will there be any duel fight?”


    “No. There’s only group battle.”


    “The tournament will be over quickly then.”


    “Actually no, Master Aldred. Each fight usuallysts for hours with a few rounds of break.”


    “How do you decide the winner?”


    “When one ss has no more students that can fight, that ss loses.”


    “Oh, so you guys keep fighting until all of you are tired or unable to fight?”


    “Yep.”


    “And I thought my training was brutal, thispetition is a literal war.”


    “At least we don’t get to be drowned in hot boiling water.”


    “What’s that?”


    “Nothing, Master.”


    Suddenly, everyone burst into cheers and gasps.


    Aldred looked at the stage and noticed that ss A had defeated ss B already. All of ss B studentsy on the floor while ss A stepped on them.


    “Did they win already? That was fast.”


    “This has never happened before,” Jeben said with widened eyes. Even though ss A won all these years, I heard their fight was always a struggle. It usually takes them 10-15 rounds to win. At least, that’s what I was told.”


    “Wow! A spectacr performance from the ss this year!” the host shouted. “This is the first time in history that a battle ends in one round!”


    The audience were shocked to see this result as well.


    Aldred noticed teacher Biran ncing at him in disdain.


    ‘Damn, these teachers are so arrogant,’


    “Jeben, you better win this tournament or I will torture you and the whole ss for 2 months.”


    Jeben gulped. “Yes, master.”


    After ss A’s victory, the host shouted for ss C and ss D toe to the stage.


    Both sides fought against each other and what Jeben said was true. None of the students fell in the first round or the second round.


    It was a battle of attrition as no one could really overpower each other.


    “Fantastic performance in the second round for ss D. Will it be likest year when they won against ss C?”


    The rest session was only 5 minutes, after that, the students from both sses battled it out again on the stage.


    Their fight was brutal and fierce. Well, brutal for a bunch of 7 years old, but there was blood and some teeth knocked out.


    Hours passed, and it was now the tenth round. The students were exhausted, but they still fought with all they had. Eventually, the fight ended with one student standing.


    The crowd burst into cheers.


    “And yet again, ss D has won the fight against ss C! Even though ss D is considered to be the underdog of this battle, a lot of us wanted them to win, and they did it!”


    They couldn’t believe it. ss D won again. It was very rare for the lower ss to defeat the ss above it.


    “Alright, before we begin ourst fight for the day, let’s have a rest of two hour. Freshen yourself with food and drinks and after that we can start thest battle.”


    A lot of people left the stage and walked out, looking for food, but when they saw a lot of small stalls nearby selling food, they were curious and bought some food.


    “Bartrem, we’re running out of food!” Mary shouted.


    Bartrem flipped the burgers on the grills. “It will be done in 15 minutes.”


    “Hurry up! We have customers waiting!”


    Bartrem sighed. “I am not paid enough for this.”


    “Don’t worry, Bartrem. The profit from this sale will go to everyone. You can buy anything you like after that,” Aldred said. He then nced at the girls and told them to help.


    Mira, Mareona, Sophia, Ivette, Ste, Rachel, Zafrina, and Kiara all went out and promoted the food stall.


    “Tasty and easy to eat burger here!” Kiara shouted as she waved the wrapped burger in both hands.


    Looking at these beautiful girls promoting the food, a lot more people were interested and sales went up through the roof.


    “What is this?” A student looked around. “Where’s the utensils? Where’s the ting? You expect me to eat it with my own hand? This is uneptable. I bet it doesn’t taste good.”


    “Hello, if you want to, you can try one for free,” Kiara said with a smile.


    The student was instantly mesmerized by her appearance. He blushed but he hid it with a stern face. “I–I don’t want to eat it with my hands.”


    Kiara sweetly smiled. “In that case, let me use my hands.” She unwrapped the burger. “Now open your mouth. Aaaa.”


    The young student blushed even more. This beautiful big sister melted his heart, and he couldn’t help but open his mouth then took a bite.


    “Is it good?” Kiara asked.


    “It’s good.”


    Kiara giggled and ruffled the young boy’s hair. “I am d you like it. Would you like to buy one?”


    He blushed even more. “I will buy it. I will buy a lot of it.”


    He immediately ran to the stall and bought as many burgers as he could carry.


    This happened repeatedly as all of his girls promoted the food stalls. Many young boys, especially those who didn’t have a big sister would buy a burger or two after being convinced by Mary, Mira, and the others.


    Aldred saw this, and a glint appeared in his eyes. “I should tell the golems to do this instead.”
