After contacting her superiors through a communication stone! Rena again looked at Black.

"Um.. Sir! Are you perhaps.. also here to participate in the.. Mortal Tournament!~ "

Black blinked- confused. He looked at Rena and was about ask what did she mean; when he suddenly remembered.

But then he frowned.

"Wasn't there also a Tournament happening in the western part of the City? Are there two tournament happening simultaneously? But how can that be possible."

Black looked at Elly. "Didn't you tell that there was only one Arena in whole of the Greenwood City Elly."

"S-Sir!~ " However before Elly could respond Rena spoke.

"Hmm. Yes! Receptionist Rena." Black again focused his gaze on her.

"It is indeed true. There is only one Arena in the Greenwood City! In fact all the Eight Main Cities have only one Arena in them!~ "

"And I don't know where you heard it or you might have even misheard it. As there is no Arena in the western part of the city nor is there any tournament happening there."

"And the Mortal Tournament I'm talking about is more like an event that happens every few months after the new recruitments of the Academy!~ "

"However in this particular event even outsiders could participate! It was decided such by the higher-ups of the Academy!~ "

"To both give the students in the Academy a challenge! Pick out the weeds! And recruit any promising individual into the Academy!~ "

"As there is always a few unknown individuals who appears in these sort of tournaments that have the talent to even give the geniuses of the Academy a run for there money!~ "

"All in all! There are many reasons; why the tournament allows outside participation. In any case! It would began in a few hours. So if you'd like you can still participate. Sir!~ "

"Interesting!~ "

Zephyr's lips curled. "Rena. Right! That was your name. Yes! Can you tell us more about this tournament!~ "

"Like what kind of tournament is it! It's rewards! Participation requirements! Winning conditions and other stuff!~ "

Rena pursed her lips. "Please give me a minute!~ " She requested! Zephyr nodded.

Meanwhile Black looked at Zephyr. "Are you interested in this tournament?" His brows raised.

"No. I'm not." She shook her head.

"Even if the rewards were of the highest mortal rank. I still wouldn't be interested in it! I'm just interested because I want you to participate!~ "

"Me!?" Black repeated. "But why though? Is there any specific reason why you've such an idea."

"I want to see you in a duel with those geniuses of the Academy! It would be quiet an entertaining sight to see you dominating them! Fufufu!~ "

Black became dumbfounded. "Isn't that kinda stupid though. You do know that it's a Mortal Tournament."

"Meaning there can also be rank nine individuals in this tournament. Meaning it would be I who would get suppressed and wiped out instead of the other way around."

"Well — if there indeed are rank nine individuals then you don't have to participate! It's as simple as that. Idiot!~ "

Black simply shook his head with an exasperated look! It was a good thing that no one heard them as they talked through there soul bond.

Nevertheless after another minute!

Rena was done going through all the information. She again focused on Black and Zephyr.

"Although I don't know what type of tournament this is as that is something that the participants will only be informed about at the start of the tournament itself."

"However anyone in or below rank eight can participate in this tournament. And it will be heald in a separate space where the participants will be teleported to and the spectators will be able to watch."

"As for the reward. They include a peak rank nine artifact of the winners choice! A 1000 rank nine magistones! And an elixir made from the essence of a rank nine natural resource! A lightening element resource."

"These are the rewards for the one; who wins the tournament but there are also other reward for people who comes in second or below places!~ "

Meanwhile as Rena continued her explanation!

Black's eyes suddenly landed on something behind her! It was a small-ball of red light embedded on the pillar wall!

It flickered in systematic intervals! Then suddenly it turned from red to blue! And at the same time the wall opened!

From which came out a man- an Elvish man. However Black's mind wasn't on him rather it was on the thing the man came out of.

'A lift- what the hell, this massive pillar also works as a lift.'

"Sir. Are you the customer who wanted to book a no-sharing VIP room." The Elvish man asked politely.

He had blonde hair and blue eyes! And he was also dressed in a full-black suit just like Rena! His name was Eldric Greenwalker.

Black came out of his thoughts and looked at Eldric Greenwalker. "Yes. I'm." He nodded in affirmation.

Eldric too nodded and promptly proceeded to properly complete the transaction. In a minute he was done and after collecting the payment.

"Your VIP room has been successfully booked! Sir." Eldric Greenwalker smiled politely and handed Black a dark-green card.

"This card is both the key to your private room and a guide that would take you to your room! You just have to insert your magical energy into it and it would do the rest on its own."

"And it also carries a map of the Arena! So you can look it up later if you want. Thank you for your patronage. Sir." He bowed. Seeing her superiors action Rena immediately followed suit. Bowing.

Meanwhile. Black put the VIP card in his spatial ring and again looked at the two employees.

"Hm. Can you also inform me- when does this Mortal Tournament start and how do I register for this."

Eldric blinked in confusion. "Aren't you here to watch the tournament! Sir. Wasn't that the reason why you booked the VIP room."

"I did come to watch but now I want to participate. I guess."

Eldric nodded hesitantly. Anyways his job was only to help the customers and not to pry in there decisions. He looked at his hand-watch.

"It's 2:15 right now. There is still some time before the tournament began at 2:50 PM. As for how to participate. For that you don't have to do anything in particular! Sir."

"Just be present at one of the platform in the Arena at the given time and from there you will be directly teleported to the separate space."

"And there you will be informed about what kind of tournament this is."

"Alright." Black nodded.

And with Zephyr and Elly moved towards his VIP room!

Soon he was out of the Grand Hall and was calmly walking through the right corridor!.

He had approximately half an hour before the start of the tournament.

And in this time he was thinking of watching a few duels to pass his time.

Time passed and in just about five minutes! He reached his VIP room.
