Amon, The Legendary Overlord

149 Chapter 149: End of the Tournament

"It's almost over."

With her hands behind her head, Barbara spoke in a relaxed manner. After Ariel's duel, if no one any longer dared to challenge their team, it became even more difficult for anyone else to have the courage to do so. Now, they had finished in first place and were about to receive the award.

"Gods, this has been almost two days! I want this to be over soon," Maisa said, annoyed.

It wasn't like it was difficult for them to stay awake for a few days, but that didn't mean it was comfortable. Even the fact of not taking a shower bothered them a lot.

"Calm down, it's about to end," Julia comforted her.

"Mm," Maisa nodded.

"We still have a lot of items that we need to sort out from earlier. It will be nice to have some free time afterward to organize and use what is useful for us," Ariel said.

"I fully agree." Barbara held up her thumb.

Not that any of their group weren't satisfied with their current strength, but if possible, of course they would choose to improve even further.

"I remember many things I read from my grandparents' books. If I use that knowledge, with the resources we have, we can get stronger," Amon stated.

"It's agreed then. The rest that is not useful for us, we can exchange with other students," Julia said.

She looked through the items they had. From what Amon said, there were a lot of things they wouldn't use.

"It would be nice if there was an auction for us to place our unused items up for bidding," Maisa muttered.

"Oh, that's a good idea," Ariel said with a peculiar smile, "If not, we just need to make one. We can do it among the students who are here. Unlike the students at our university, most of whom have water genes, the other universities are well balanced."

"We can propose that later." Amon agreed with this idea.

"Anyway, it's something we should think about later," Barbara said, "When we receive the first place award, we can declare that in public. There are no rules that say we can't do that, and I also think it will be convenient for universities, as new students will be able to have what suits them best."

"Yes, you are right. In fact, there are teachers who take advantage of this to buy rare items at a low price- at least that's what I read on the internet," Ariel said in a way that didn't seem entirely genuine at the end, but then added, "Wouldn't that make those teachers mad at us?"

Hearing this, Barbara was stunned and hesitated. She knew that Ariel was right. The possibility of teachers who intended to buy cheaply priced rare items must have at least been at least one from each university. Teacher Sergio has already started interacting with some students who came back with items; it wouldn't be strange if he approached them afterward to try to buy the things they got for a much cheaper price.

"That's not our problem," Amon said nonchalantly, "I'm not going to stop doing something I want to do just because someone might be upset, or else I might just give up on wanting to become an Overlord."

"Hehee~ I don't know why, but I felt like you'd say something like that~" Ariel leaned on his shoulder with her hand and laughed shamelessly.

From the beginning she didn't care about what they chose to do, but she wanted to warn the others nonetheless of the risk it would bring.

"I'm not afraid!" While Barbara didn't know exactly how strong her family background was, as her mother had left her in the dark about many things, she at least knew that she would be strong enough not to have to be so cautious.

"Yes, but we may be thinking too much," Maisa said, "While it's true that some teachers intend to buy what the students got in the secret kingdom, it doesn't mean that the students are being forced to sell, and what they were trying to propose is not against the rules."

"Well, I guess that's maybe because there's never been anyone who's done this before." Julia shrugged her shoulders. "I admit I feel a little afraid of having a teacher targeting us, but I don't like the feeling of having to hold back when we shouldn't have to."

"I understand that perfectly," Barbara supported.

It was justifiable for them to worry about it, but again, as they said before, it could be that nothing would happen and they were worrying for nothing… But it was always good to be on the alert.

"By the way, changing the subject," Maisa asked, "Because we are in first place, we will be able to go to the alliance library and choose two spells, correct?"

"Yes, and if we're lucky, we can each choose a spell that ties in perfectly with our genetics," Ariel finally spoke seriously.

Being able to link a spell to a genetic factor meant it would be part of their power, without having to cast the spell. However, it was not easy to find a spell that best adapted to each of an individual's genetics. After all, genetics, as much as they were of attributes, each person has their own peculiarities; each factor had its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, when choosing the spell to link to the genetic factor, it could not ever be done lightly.

"I advise you to consult Old Hazael," Amon warned, "He must have a greater sense of every aspect of us. I intend to consult him and understand which techniques will be most compatible with me, although I already have a vague idea."

Barbara frowned. He had just said that he already had a vague idea, but he still intended to consult Old Hazael. However, she still asked, "I also have a vague idea which one would be right for me, but do you think it is still necessary to consult Old Hazael?"

"I think so." Ariel was the one who replied. "I plan to ask my aunt, as she has a broader study of the psychic genome."

"I see..." Barbara nodded thoughtfully.

Julia and Maisa looked at each other and then nodded. It didn't hurt to consult Old Hazael before entering the alliance library. Amon's reason for suggesting Old Hazael was simple: In addition to being one of the most veteran of the UGRG, they were closest to him.

Having made up their minds, the group stopped talking about it and continued to watch the rest of the tournament.

"End of the tournament! The top 10 will appear on the big holographic screen now!" the judge announced.

"Finally!" shouted Barbara. She wasn't the only one. Several others who couldn't stand to wait any longer cried out in relief.

Then, on the big screen, the top 10 appeared.
