Parallel Memory Chapter 478 Third Round

Chapter 478 Third Round

Just like yesterday, the geniuses of their respective races gathered around and started discussing their opponents.

Two of the most discussed people were Mia and Zero which had shown power beyond what they initially thought they were capable of.

Aricen, who was the opponent of Zero that day, had recovered and he shared what happened inside the Blizzard Storm. However, as much as he wanted to help, he also didn't see different things than his fellow geniuses.

He didn't know Zero used Frostwings or anything and he only saw the sword which was at his neck after using his Gale Barrier.

Anyway, the Elves considered Zero as the person that they had to beat. Not because of what happened to Aricen but because of the disrespect that he showed to Princess Elenia.

And Princess Elenia didn't come to meetings like this. She didn't think it was necessary nor would she be able to come. With her status, it would be difficult for others to speak like they do now.

She hardly thinks anyone is her opponent and she is a person who likes to fight instinctively rather than to use tactics and strategy.

The night was lively and many were excited for tomorrow's match. The fight tomorrow had 32 fighters and around 50 % were Rank-S and others were Rank-B with only Zion and Lisa being in Rank-B.

They were excited as most fights would now be Rank-S VS Rank-S. Though even in that category, there were vast differences in power.

Like Mia and Princess Elenia were Rank-S and their battle would be the fiercest of them all. But there were also newly ascended Rank-S - which should be an easy target for Princess Elenia and Mia.

However, it will still be much better than Rank-S Vs Rank-A which had obvious results.

Many Rank-A will be eliminated in the third round and by the time it was time to fight among Top-8, many thought that all Rank-A and below would be eliminated.

Zero was also discussing Amelia and Mia. Two of them had advised Zero against Princess Elenia and to be careful of her.

It wasn't like they asked him to surrender, which might be what Hiro and others would suggest. Since two of them knew more about Zero's power than the other, they didn't think Zero would necessarily lose to Princess Elenia but still then they had to admit that she was very powerful.

The morning came and people were all excited as theft gathered in the stadium. The King addressed the crowd as usual and commanded the start of the third round.

*CHEER!

The third round of the contest started and people were very excited!

And they weren't disappointed!

The first match itself was the fight between Rank-S - Dryad and Rank-S - Therianthropes. The match was won by the Therianthropes.

Even though the Dryad was Rank-S, its fighting style was the same as their Rank-A counterpart and just like what Zero had done, Therianthropes made use of his speed to overwhelm the Dryad.

Therianthropes should already have seen how to handle Dryads through Zero and thoroughly discussed it.

But Rank-S - Therianthropes wasn't able to finish the job in one move like Zero. And Rank-S - Dryad was also prepared, so that she doesn't end up like how her fellow geniuses did with Zero.

But even so, Therianthropes won!

Therianthropes converse its mana as he only used it to protect itself from the spores and waited for Dryad to run out of mana before delivering the final blow.

With its speed, Rank-S - Therianthropes was also able to dodge Dryad's other attacks.

So with the loss of Rank-S - Dryads, now there was only one Rank-S Dryads and that was Cyrrinthia who was the strongest of them all.

Therianthropes race looked proud and howled loudly. The spectators also clapped for his wonderful fight and Rank-S - Therianthropes walked with head held high.

It was opposite for Rank-S - Dryad who walked with her head low and looked ashamed. She apologizes for losing, especially to Cyrrinthia.

Cyrrinthia looked worried. From her race, now it was all up to her to hold their dignity. The other Rank-A partic.i.p.ants from her race will likely be eliminated in this or next round, and she needs to be the one who will determine the overall rank of their race.

If they were eliminated in just Top-32 or 16, it would be pretty embarra.s.sing and humiliating for their race. They might even be seen as the weakest race.

She prayed that she doesn't get Rank-S as her opponent and also not Ice Devil Zero as well.

The second round was also between Rank-S fighters. And the spectator watched in awe at the power of these individuals.

This was once in a lifetime for them to witness such a thing. Powerful and talented geniuses from different races competing against each other.

After quite some time, the winner was declared!

However, looking at the condition, the winner didn't seem to be in his best form and needed to be taken to hospital just like the person he defeated.

It was a close fight and the audiences enjoyed it a lot. Though most of the time they couldn't even see what was going on.

Only when both of them were very exhausted and fought, did they see them fighting clearly. Other than that, most of them could only see the destruction left by their attacks.

Even so, it was interesting and they hope for more!

"Princess Elenia Of the Elves Vs Hiro Ernest Of the Human Race!"

Finally, it was the first battle between Rank-S and Rank-A of the day but it was Princess Elenia who was one of the strongest in the whole contest.

And even though Hiro had managed to earn a name for himself, no one thought that he could defeat Princess Elenia.

"So unlucky! Hiro would have been at least able to go to the fourth round."

"Such a pity! That human genius is strong but he would stand no chance against Princess Elenia."

"Let's see how the greatest genius of the human race fares against Rank-S. Hope he doesn't disappoint me too much!" …

They discussed and were excited even though the match was between Rank-S and Rank-A. And the reason was because of Hiro's fame.

Misha and others were worried about Hiro. But even so, knew that he wouldn't give up like how they would have also not.

So, instead they wished him luck rather than stop him.

"Best of luck!"

"Do your best!"

"Don't lose pathetically! We still need to fight each other."

"Go and take revenge for me."

They encouraged Hiro. Hiro nodded and walked away with a smile. But internally he was thinking of many things including how to defeat Princess Elenia.

Many people looked at Hiro who was walking up to the arena and in their eyes, it was the same as going to their death.

On the other side, King Tranduil and Princess Elenia also saw the names of the partic.i.p.ants.

"It looks like I will be the one to take out the one hailed as the greatest talent by the Human race."

Princess Elenia exclaimed. She would have been even more happy if the opponent was Zero but still it was better than other partic.i.p.ants.

King Tranduil looked and was thinking deeply. Hiro is the one that he has been keeping his eyes on because of Elara's words and he was indeed impressed by him.

However, until now, he still has yet to see anything that suggests that Hiro will become the strongest and at max was someone who is a bit more talented than other geniuses.

But he thought that with Elenia as his opponent, he might be able to see the depth of his talent.

"Dad, I will go for a second!"

Princess Elenia said.

"Wait!"

But King Tranduil stopped.

"Elenia, don't use your full power. Help me check how powerful he is and force him to use everything he has."

King Tranduil said. He didn't want to risk having lost the opportunity to see Hiro's full strength. If Elenia was serious and attacked him with her full power, she would defeat Hiro quickly which he wants to avoid.

???

Princess Elenia was surprised by her fathers unusual request.

"If he is interesting, I will be willing to play with him a bit longer."

Princess Elenia answered. Even if it was her father's request, Elenia wasn't the type to listen or do boring things like extend a fight just for the sake of something. But was willing to do so, on her own terms.

"But if not, then I cannot do anything about it"
