Bis laughed and said, "The top 100,000 is not that easy to enter. This time, princess, you are the highest ranked!"
Hearing that, Princess Elu's emotion improved slightly. After that, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what about that... Federation's Sebastian? What ranking is he in?"
"Sebastian hasn't been eliminated yet." The old man in black said.
"What?" Princess Elu was taken aback. Immediately, she took out her communicator and logged into the tournament page. She looked up at Sebastian's group.
She was secretly very curious about Sebastian. Because not just the Federation side, even here in the Empire, there were many people who watched the video of the final of the exchange match between the Immortal Academy and Hope's Peak Academy.
Sebastian was considered to be the strongest freshman this year, and no one could surpass him. Even she, Princess Elu, who was considered the pride of the Empire.
To this, she was extremely unconvinced. In passing, she paid extra attention to Sebastian, so she had already found out that he was in Area No. 81. Soon, she found Sebastian, who was at the bottom of the rankings.
"The bottom of the ranking is not that far from elimination." Princess Elu then took a long breath, revealed a smile, and said, "The final ranking is estimated to be similar to mine."
Another night of restoration, it's the third day of the group stage. Sebastian glanced at his points panel. After the night passed, there was another significant change.
[ Participant: Sebastian ]
[ Planet: Planetary Area 81 ]
[ Points: 1,515 ]
[ Ranking: 135,621 ]
Relying on the elimination of others, Sebastian, with no change in points, entered the top 140,000. But he was also aware that there were over 100,000 remaining contestants, and each one of them was not bad in strength. Those who were eliminated, most of them were here to join the fun, so they couldn't be considered real competitors.
At the same time, in this vast city, after a day of killing, almost a thousand were eliminated, so there were only a hundred or so left.
"Starting today, within these two days, it should be decided who is the king of this city." Lando looked at the map, his face slightly gloomy.
"If I could, I would like it to be the same as yesterday, watching these teams fight first, but it's no longer possible." Coleman glanced at a flying creature in the sky, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
Yesterday, the fight was intense; no one paid attention to them hiding over here. But today was different; the remaining teams were more cautious than the others, especially the teams with aerial species. They sent one to scout into the sky. The Astra Militarum had a large number of people, so such a large target was impossible to hide from scouting.
"There's no need to hide either today... Hmm?" Lando hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly looked in a direction to the right.
It was because the drone had sent out an early warning signal as a huge team was rapidly coming their way. The aura was very powerful; it was the strongest one they had encountered presently.
"You guys are sneaky. I noticed you guys yesterday, but I didn't have time to spare any manpower, so today I'll come and clean up properly. Come on, Mountain Beast!" A voice sounded in Sebastian's ear.
Immediately after that, Sebastian saw a group of beasts. It has sharp claws and thick scales and is rushing towards them ferociously. Their formation was not scattered; it was well-trained.
"Mountain Beast?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows.
This creature had dreadful defenses, but it still couldn't resist the HEIAP shells. Under the strafing of dozens of fighters and the combined strikes of the guardsmen on the ground. In less than ten minutes, the enemy army collapsed, thus being eliminated.
They dropped thousands of Star Fragments, allowing Sebastian's ranking to squeeze into the top 100,000 for the first time. The battle between the Astra Militarum and the Mountain Beast army, their movement was extremely loud, so it attracted the attention of other teams.
From here on, the battle in the city broke out again. Many teams saw that each of the Astra Militarum had a small and thin body, almost like an ordinary person, and immediately rushed toward them.
Boom-!, Boom-!, Boom...
All day and all night were full of the sound of explosions. Because there was no battle yesterday, the Guardsmen were still in high spirits, routing one team after another and eliminating them.
The Star Fragments obtained were also increasing, allowing Sebastian's points to climb steadily. For the first time, his ranking has surged within 3,000. It could be said that most of the teams in this city, the Astra Militarum, eliminated most of them. The ones that were still left within the tournament planet were fewer than 30,000.
In a piece of void, the Level 6 Planetary Lords of the Super-Tier Academy were gathering to watch the tournament. They were concerned about their school's participating trainees. Some school students performed well, while some school students did poorly.
The blue-clothed old man, the Level 6 Planetary Lord of Hope's Peak Academy, did not look very good. Because the participating trainees of Hope's Peak Academy, besides the Crown Prince, every other one that he valued was now struggling.
"Hmm?" A Level 6 Planetary Lord suddenly noticed something and said, "Hey, there's another cadet from your school that made it to the top 2,000."
The blue-clothed old man looked up, and the others also gazed over. This Level 6 Planetary Lord projected the group ranking of Area No. 81 in the middle, and then, they saw the line in the middle.
[ Participant: Sebastian ]
[ Ranking: 1,801 ]
"Sebastian!?" Many people were slightly astonished.
This name was quite unfamiliar to them. Thinking carefully, they didn't think of anything. Which genius was called this name? To be able to rank in the top 2,000, it was very hopeful to break out from the group stage, and is one of the best key trainees of any school.
"Could it be the strongest freshman who came to prominence at this year's exchange tournament, Sebastian?" An old man blurted.
"The strongest freshman? This year's trainees!?" All were slightly wide-eyed.
