Along with Elara, Cali was the strongest player on Aegon's team. In fact, her ridiculous Affinity made her one of the strongest in the whole Academy, so no matter who came to fight her, she dominated her every single battle.
Even their weak points being Aegon and Rosa were rough to handle. Aegon had his versatility and mind, while Rosa was quick to escape and assassinate someone before they even knew it.
Despite being in the weaker, she found a way to make herself useful. She wouldn't engage in a fight unless the enemy HP Bar was low.
If it wasn't, then she would simply escape or hide in bushes to wait for an opportunity.
It wasn't easy to defeat such a team unless you possessed power overwhelming theirs and had a brain to accompany it.
House Montana fought hard, taking down eight of their turrets, but Aegon's team managed to take them with a higher Kill count.
Just like that, Aegon's team advanced to Round Five, the semi-finals in which the top four teams would compete against each other.
The audience was left gaping in disbelief, as they reminded themselves of a crucial piece of information. Something that chilled all the people's backs.
Aegon was just sixteen years old, an age where so many people couldn't even enter the Academy. Even geniuses entered at the age of seventeen, and here he was, coming closer to winning the Supremacy Games at that age.
They once again realised why he got the title of Greatest Prodigy to ever live. This was plain ridiculous in their eyes.
It wasn't just Aegon who surprised them.
Supremacy Games were heavily focused on teamwork, because humans also only survived against the demonic forces by remaining together and fighting as one.
Aegon alone didn't reach there. His team had also a brilliant future.
Xavier became a healer sought after by many for his magnificent performance and brain. Anyone could see that he would become a pillar of the healing profession if he continued like this.
His sister Calista was even more talented. But the Empire had already heard tales about her. How could such a talent go unnoticed?
Even though a lot of people disliked her for choosing Body Pathway, many still appreciated the talent no matter the gender. And many also feared her.
There were also people who saw her Affinity's true potential. For now, she just boosted herself, but what if she could boost an entire army... multiple times?
That alone made Arthur wonder if he should ask her to join the army. But then, he thought how she gave his sister's vibes and discarded that thought.
Then, there was Elara who didn't even use much of her arsenal, relying solely on her archery skills to dominate her side. Not a single soul doubted that Elara could do way more things.
An Elf Princess, the best of her race's younger generations, definitely possessed many things in her arsenal. Especially since Elves were low in numbers, their resources' management allowed every talent to grow with the best condition.
The fact that she could deal with her peers with basic skills showed her terrifying potential. If she truly showed her full prowess, they didn't know who would be able to stop her on this battlefield.
This went opposite for the Imperial Family of Great Solar Empire. They had many descendants, so their resources were divided too.
Even Raphael and Gabriel who stood out weren't that talented compared to other top talents of the Imperial Family, leading to their allocation of low resources.
Of course, it was still more than the majority of the people received.
All four of Aegon's team were talented, but the nobles' interest lay in their fifth member, who was shadowed by other talents of her team.
Unlike the other four people who either belonged to some faction already or were simply too much to afford for these nobles, she was a Commoner with no history.
Rosa was talented. Anyone paying attention could see that, even if she was the weakest in her team. At the age of seventeen, she could now stand on equal grounds in the Supremacy Games.
Even if she couldn't outright kill Rank 5 players, other geniuses of her age and Rank would get absolutely demolished in a battle of Supremacy Games.
Yet, this Commoner did all of that. Not to mention she was a talented Mage too, along with being a Knight. She was different from Cali who focused heavily on the Knight aspect.
They valued her talent and future, wanting to take her in their faction at any cost. She could change their future and make their Houses rise.
But some people already gave up before trying after learning Rosa loved Aegon. They could already see her joining House Augustus or Aegon in general.
Still, all of them knew one thing for sure.
Every single member of Aegon's team including himself would become a renowned star in the future.
Investment in them was worth it, so even if they couldn't afford to take them in their Houses, they decided to make good relationship with them.
They didn't think of eliminating them or anything in fear of their talent. They already saw how Aegon held grudges even for a small thing like beating up his friends.
In a way, Aegon had already declared to the world one thing. Something that people didn't even find surprising. The Two Bloodlines coursing inside him valued Loyalty a lot, after all.
Harming his friends was equivalent to antagonising him.
Of course, nobody missed the talents of other teams. They wanted new talents to join their Houses, and they found them in others.
This year brought many good talents, so nobles were very happy. If Aegon hadn't joined, then many others could have shined in the limelight.
As Aegon's match ended in House Montana's defeat, the nobles got in their work and contacted the players. Even if they lost, nobody cared about that part.
They only cared about their own future.
After Aegon advanced to Round Five, another three matches took place to determine the other picks of Top Four. Surprisingly, they went smoothly but still gave the audience good entertainment.
Finally, the Top Four were decided, making the audience cheer in excitement.
House Imperial.
House Freyja.
House Ares.
And finally, House Chen.
