Rishi and his friends were given two days off; they trained all day on both days and only rested at night.
They all got ready in the morning and arrived at the location where the second round would take place tomorrow. "When will the score be announced?" Lalit asked Dev. "We still don't know how well we performed after two days."
"Have patience, Lalit; they'll announce before the next round begins," Ajit replied. They all waited patiently, and soon the entire ground was filled with students from different guilds.
"Welcome, everyone; you all have performed very well, especially the new guilds," the commentator said as he entered the stage. "Your performance has impressed us, so we've decided to increase your Rewards." When this announcement was made, the entire audience applauded and cheered.
"Now, I will announce the names of the top ten guilds; Your ranking will be available on our Academy's website for the rest of you." Some guilds were disappointed because they did not make up to top ten; they stayed because they wanted to learn more about the top ten; while some guilds were disappointed, others were relieved that they would not have to wait long.
The commentator announced the names of the guilds from ten to six; now, it was the turn of the top five guilds. The All-STARS guild members were all relieved that they were in the top five; Rishi and other guild members crossed their fingers as they awaited the results.
"The guild that has secured the fifth position is Last-Stand." Many students were surprised to see Last Stand ranked fifth, but when they remembered that this guild is known for defense, they understood why they were not ranked higher.
This announcement surprised the Last-Stand guild members and the other top three guild members; they all thought the competition would be between their four guilds, but now some other guild have entered.
The announcer was also surprised by this result because he assumed that this competition would be between the four famous guilds, but things were heating up. 'Interesting,' he said when he saw the guild's name, which was ranked fourth.
"The guild in fourth place is Cyclops," said the announcer. This announcement surprised the guilds even more; Cyclops guild members were disappointed and resolved to exact revenge on this new guild, which pushed them out of the top three.
"Now, I would like the guild leaders of the top three guilds to come on stage and stand at their tri-level podium as I announce their name," the announcer said.
"The prizes will be distributed after the tournament; We're now only announcing the results. The guild that has come in third place is Mineva." The Mineva guild's name and logo appeared on the big screen behind the announcer, The crowd and Mineva guild members cheered; this new guild was a fan favorite due to Kajal.
Kajal was disappointed by her guild's performance, but she quickly overcame her disappointment and entered the stage and stood in third place. Despite her displeasure, Kajal smiled to boost the morale of their supporters and guild members.
"The guild that has come in second place is All-Stars," the announcer continued after Kajal took her place in the podium. The All-Stars guild's name and logo appeared on the big screen, The audience was taken aback because they had never heard even the name of this guild.
"What exactly is this guild? How come I've never heard of them before?" someone in the audience wondered.
"How could they beat Mineva, Cyclops, and Last Stand? They must have cheated," one student speculated.
"Don't talk nonsense; Cheating is not possible in this competition. Every place is monitored; you can't even bring a needle into a dungeon without getting caught by the Academy," said another.
Rishi was slightly disappointed, but when he remembered the dungeons they had traversed, he took a deep breath and accepted the outcome. Among the curious looks of other guilds, Rishi stepped onto the stage and stood on the second place.
Kajal had no words for the person who had defeated her; this was someone she had never heard of before, then she met him two or three times.
She knew how strong he was because she had fought him; he was a mysterious person, and his identity always piqued her interest, but she also ignored him because she had more important things to do.
Her opinion of him shifted when she realized her second contract beast was truly epic grade, as this person claimed; this added to his mystique, as he had literally gifted her that magic beast.
When she thought about his second wish, she guessed he had a guild, but she had no idea how powerful his guild was.
Many people were envious of Rishi when they saw her looking at him, but what enraged them was how he ignored her, which was a disrespect to their Godess in their eyes. They all made sure that they remember his guild.
It was no surprise that Exodia was the first guild to appear. Aditya, the guild leader, approached Rishi's side and looked at him; Rishi returned his gaze as if to ask, 'What do you want?'
"Could you please step down so I can get to my spot?" Aditya asked politely. Rishi decided to ignore him after listening to his request; Aditya had planned to humiliate him by stepping on his spot to make a statement.
When Aditya saw no response from Rishi, he repeated louder, "Don't you hear me? I asked you to step back so I could take my place."
"Don't give me that look; Can a Beast Tamer of Advance Stage can't even jump one meter high," Rishi replied coldly for the first time, surprising everyone. Nobody expected to see a fight take place on stage. Aditya could also jump to his place, but he'd lose face if he stood there like a monkey.
Rishi will not be afraid to face him now that he has decided to appear in front of him. Rishi will not be gentle with Aditya if he dares to challenge him.
Aditya and Rishi locked eyes, neither willing to back down. The announcer became aware of this and decided to step in. He brought a stool with him and placed it behind the podium to make it easier for Aditya.
When Aditya looked around and saw many people looking at him, he decided to give some face to the announcer and took his place. The cameraman took photos of the top three to post on social media.
The picture of Rishi and Aditya staring at each other became viral on social media groups of the Academy; many students commented that it was rude and Rishi should apologize, while some people supported him they said that it was Vaibhav's fault.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom Rishi and All-STARS became famous in one night; everyone was curious about this new guild which came out of nowhere and got second place.
This incident increased the hype of this guild competition; students and the people in the city were looking forward to the performance of the new guilds.
