244  Mythila Nelson - The Echo Empress

Professor Osborn, the homeroom teacher of the A-4 class, voiced his concerns as he watched the projection of Rio swiftly advancing towards the opposing team's base the second their announcement finished. "And this is why I said that allowing him in the first year again was a bad decision."

Professor Mythila, the teacher of class A-2, defended the principal's decision. "Who cares? This guy's talented, and we could win the tournament with him. You're just annoyed because he's not in your class." Her words even brought a chuckle from Miss Freya.

"He's currently C+ rank, but by the time the tournament comes around, he might be a B rank or higher. Do you think anyone else can match his growth?" Professor Harkin chimed in without taking his eyes off the screen.

 "There's that new top ranker from public exams, he's C- rank too. Even without allowing Rio to repeat the first year, we would've won the tournament." Professor Osborn said, glancing at the display where Leon was seen gathering his team and taking up the role of their leader.

"Not if he joined another academy and competed against us." Professor Mythila said, and all the professors fell into contemplation.

According to rumors 3 of the top 5 academies had sent their invitations to Rio after he appeared alive again. The only exceptions were Zenith, because the principal already talked with Rio personally. And Tristan academy, who knew Rio wouldn't join there even if they gave their best rewards, because of what happened two years ago during the tournament.

If Rio agreed to join any of the other academies, then this year would have been Zenith's third consecutive loss for the first year batch.

{The tournament two years ago where Rio participated, was canceled due to the warzy attack. Ever since then Zenith didn't win the tournament for first year students. And had to rely on senior students to secure their overall victory and first spot.

-So technically Zenith didn't have any trophy for first year students victory for three years now. One can be considered a draw, since it got stopped. While the other two were complete losses.}

"The tournament isn't a one man show, miss Mythila. And ignore that, do you think it's fair for other students to compete against him, when he's already at that level." Professor Osborn said as the scene where Rio teleported and appeared outside the barrier of the opposing team happened. "He's just gonna bully the kids, and put pressure on the freshies."

"Strength is what matters. It's not his fault if others can't match him." Professor Harkin said sternly, finally taking his eyes off the screen.

"He's not like that _ " Professor Freya started to speak in Rio's defense, but stopped when she saw the scene of Rio's single spell's destruction and their match ending just like that.

'This boy, doesn't he know it's a team evaluation match?' She said in her heart, but a smile was there on her face seeing he was all fine. Even though she had seen his spars and training sessions, but she was still worried EMMSY might've left some scruples in his growth. It seems he's all healed now.

Soon students who died started appearing in the Quantum hub again, all of their faces filled with surprise and shock as they didn't even know what happened. All they knew was a barrier that they didn't even know was there, got shattered, and then they just died and got a message that the match was over, and they lost.

"What happened?"

"Did something malfunction? Why did we get sent out?"

"I remember seeing the message that we lost. Was that an enemy attack?"

"No, how can it be that easy? Everyone's mana is the same, remember. It must be a glitch or mistake."

Hearing all the useless excuses and chitchat from the 'dead' students, professor Harkin laughed loudly, and waved a projection screen towards them. Showing the footage of Rio from beginning to end.

"You guys lost fair and square. So stop chattering. Your mistake, you were busy talking amongst yourselves to even clearly take a look at your surroundings. Half of you didn't even finish their lengthy introductions until your game was over." Professor Harkin said looking at their stupefied faces and continued - "And you, the one with the shining hat, why'd you even talk about your family and what they're famous for. Does that have anything to do with your test? Don't show up in my class next time until you learn how to properly introduce yourself. Idiot."

Hearing the angry shouts from a professor, they could all just stay silent and keep their heads low.

Professor Harkin had the reputation for being stern with everyone. He's someone who's impartial to everyone. But as long as you are strong or talented enough, you are his favorite. And if you make mistakes or are considered weak, then he's just like your bully, instead of your teacher.

His personality is something very easy to please and anger, and that's why he gets unpredictable, cause of his belief in 'fist is the ultimate form of justice.' If you're strong and win, whatever you do is right. While everything else is just excuses made by the weak to hide their inferiority.

Soon Rio and his own team also appeared in the Quantum zone. There was a green band on their hands, which showed the sign of victors.

Surprisingly Rio's teammates were also surprised and looked at the display with confused eyes. They were just arguing about what Rio wanted to do Or what their strategy should be if he doesn't return. Some even started arguing about being the next leader, but before they could even do anything, the match was already over and they won just like that.

"Damn it, why did we have to meet him?"

That's what all the students thought after seeing Rio's spell. Both the winners and the losers were left in awe by the swift end to the match. Everyone was itching to show their abilities, but Rio's spell had made that impossible.

"Your next match will begin, when other teams of your class finish their match. So just stay silent." Professor Mythila said, silencing everyone, as she started looking at all the other matches where fights had just started.

Mythila Nelson, the homeroom teacher of class A-2. She had grayish hair that slid over her shoulders, giving her an ethereal appearance. While her black eyes seemed pure and peaceful. Her perfect figure and the noble grace she has, rivals that of Miss Freya.

The only difference between these two would be that Miss Freya has that fiery temper of hers which gives off the feeling, daring others not to cross her path, lest they make her angry. While Miss Mythila always had the vibe of being calm and in control of every situation. Being collected no matter what happens. But very few knew she was also extremely prideful.

Other than that both were famous beauties known all over Arcadia.

 Mythila had awakened the element of air and she was quite famous about it. But that wasn't her natural talent. Years later, she had found her real talent in sound arts.

Her mastery over sound arts allowed her to use various instruments and melodies for a range of purposes, making her a formidable figure in Arcadia.

She was an allrounder, whose abilities could be used to give buffs, debuffs, to control others or calm others, for offense, defense or assistance.

Her mastery over her mana and methods of sound manipulation was amazingly high. And that's why she is given the title of The Echo Empress.

Rumor has it that she comes from a rich hidden elite family but she left her house and joined the World Association for some unknown reasons.

Rio stared at Mythila's projection for some time thinking about her plotlines and past, but then turned his eyes away. He looked at the projection where Leon was leading 5 students to the enemy base, and currently fighting against 3 students alone.

'Come on, my hands are itching now.' Rio thought as he waited for the match where he could be opposite him, so he could beat him. Hell he wouldn't mind beating him even if he was in his own team.

He had been imagining fighting Leon for years now. And the urge to beat him after what Apollo pulled two years ago, ruining his plans had only increased since then.

If the minions of apollo didn't interfere, then he could've used the name of people from Warzy and wipe out several future side villains of academy arcs. But those fanatics appeared out of nowhere shouting 'for the sun god' 'for apollo' etc etc and ruined all his hard work.

"If not for Apollo that tournament arc would've been the ending of many future plotlines." Rio said in his heart.

'Well what I couldn't do back then, I'll just do it this time.'
