Aldred, the ladies, and the students went for a little adventure until sundown.
They flew through the clouds, went deep into caves, and climbed some mountains. They had a lot of fun exploring things they had never seen before, when they were done, they teleported back to school.
Aldred told them to go home and get some rest before the competition tomorrow.
"We will be leaving now, Master."
"Thank you for the trip, master!"
"Take care, Master!"
One by one the students said their goodbyes and bowed to him before they left.
Aldred smiled and he brought his ladies home and had a wonderful time that night.
Later, the sun rose along with the chirping birds and the breezing morning air.
It was the last day of the competition. All the students woke up early, and so did Aldred.
He wore his clothes in a hurry and was about to fly to school, but Zafrina stopped him.
"You cannot go to school with such an appearance. What will people think of you? Let me tidy you up for a moment!"
Zafrina quickly dressed him, making his wrinkled shirt to be neat. She fixed his hair and sprayed him with some perfume.
She sniffed him around and nodded when she was sure he had a fragrant. "Now you're ready to go to school."
Aldred smiled. "I will be going now."
"You're not going anywhere without proper meals," Mary said as she brought a tray of food while the others set up a chair and a table. They had him sit down, and poured him a beverage.
When he already sat down, the ladies all brought a spoon and a fork before feeding him one by one. As he gulped the food down his throat, Ivette took a glass of wine and handed it to him.
Aldred downed the wine. His body, mind, and heart were refreshed. The ladies all beamed happily when they saw him look so satisfied.
Soon afterward, he finished breakfast and kissed them one by one. He was so grateful to have them all in his life.
"I will be going now."
"Take care," said all of his women at the same time."
Aldred waved at them and jumped out of the balcony before he activated a flame jet from his palms and feet. He streaked through the air and arrived at school.
When he landed on the school ground, the students were already there waving and calling out to him.
"Master, you're here."
Aldred nodded. "Are all of you ready?"
"Yes, Master!"
"Good. Good. Make sure you do your best. Don't ever forget your training. Show them how much you want the victory."
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the side.
Aldred turned around and saw Biran walking toward them with a group of students behind him.
Frowning, Aldred glanced at Biran. "What do you want?"
Biran sneered. "I am here only for friendly greetings. Why do you have to be so defensive against me, Mr. Aldred? Now, don't you ever think that just because you defeated Class E means you can defeat us."
"What do you mean?"
"There is still a Class D and you haven't fought them yet. Chances are, Class D will defeat you, and my class will sweep this year's tournament."
"It's just a tournament for children. You think too much of it."
Biran chuckled. "It seems like you don't know anything. The winner of this year's competition will be granted the position of Deputy Headmaster."
"I am not interested in such a position, but if I can take it from you, then I will gladly do it."
A glint appeared in Biran's eyes. "You have Class D to worry about. Before that, I suggest you should talk humbly, especially to me."
"I will speak anything to you whenever I want."
Biran snorted and left.
Aldred smiled and crossed his arm confidently. He had to show his students how to stand their ground and refused to be bullied by anyone.
"Jeben, who is our next opponent?"
"We have to fight Class D first before we can fight Class A. They got the top-class privilege, so we have to duke it out first to see who is worthy to fight them."
Aldred nodded. "After this, they will realize that they aren't even worthy to be seen by your eyes."
The students lit up. Their master's confidence and arrogance assured them that they were better than their opponents.
After a few hours, the tournament began.
Class F versus Class D.
Both classes looked at each other on the stage. Class F was calm. They looked at Class D as if they were looking at bugs.
Class D felt this gaze and felt insulted.
"Why are they so cocky? They are just the Class F."
"Just because they defeat Class E in one round, now they think they already owned the world."
"Let's show them our power."
The host hyped up the crowd, and after a few minutes, he told both classes to start the fight.
Class D rushed forward. Fueled by rage, they quickly attacked.
But in the blink of an eye, all of the students from Class D were thrown upward to the sky and fell outside the ring.
The teacher of Class D widened his eyes and so did the audience. A second later, the audience exploded in claps and cheers.
They thought that Class F won thanks to sheer luck yesterday, but this time they believed it was real.
One time might be luck, but the second time must be because of skill.
"Now I wonder who will win the fight between Class F and Class A."
"Who could have expected this result? We are bombarded by surprises. First, Class D won against Class C, and Class F won against Class E, but now Class F won against Class D!"
"All the underdogs have proved themselves that they are not who we thought they were. The question is, will Class F keep this winning streak?"
Bravar who's seeing this from a magic orb smiled. "Too bad that I cannot make him my Deputy Headmaster."
