Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 311 311:New Targets[II]

In the huge Colosseum of the human domain.

The area was huge...It was huge to the point that Leon thought he might get lost if not for the academy smartwatch for guidance.

Yeah, it has more features like monitoring vitals, tracking spying, etc....still he didn't mind it.

"Brother, are all the people gonna fight here..." Gwen spoke, swallowing his saliva.

"I don't know. It's not a tournament but I am expecting anything less than a bloodbath...Haa!I wish Sophi..."

Leon hadn't even finished his sentence when he felt the surroundings getting darker. As he looked for the source, he then saw dark clouds hovering over Gwen's head.

Squeezing her lips, she made an angry expression, "Why? Don't you enjoy spending time with me.."

Leon's expression froze for a moment.

"Haha! Of course, I do...Let's go."Leon then pulled Gwen and hastened his steps to the stands to watch the show.

"We have so many races…Why is this thing happening here?"Leon asked with a frown giving Argent a stare.

Hearing this, Argent smiled hysterically, "It's because we are pushovers after all, organizing this takes too many resources."

...

The vast arena of the Military Academy of Dimensional Zones buzzed with expectation and excitement as the new cadets from the human domain and earth gathered but they weren't the only ones here as from various races gathered for the day's training exercises.

Among the humans, there were several other races present, each with unique traits and characteristics.

At one end of the arena stood the sturdy and imposing Minotaur warriors, their muscular bodies towering over the crowd.

With horns protruding from their heads and powerful hooves pounding against the ground, they exude an aura of strength.

Nearby, a group of tall and agile Elves moved with gracefully emitting an air of regality, their pointed ears twitching as they surveyed the arena with keen eyes. Known for their natural affinity for all elements and archery, the Elves were formidable opponents in both physical combat and strategic warfare.

Amidst the diverse array of cadets, two more races added their distinct presence to the training grounds.

The Dwarves, renowned for their craftsmanship and stability, worked tirelessly at their forges.

They often supplement their comrades with work, however, it seemed few of them were quite drunk.

And then there was the Beast Race who seemed to be quite eager to pounce on the enemy to fight.

Some had ear cats, some had a wolf.

They looked similar to the humans whose genes had been mixed with animals.

These all were the races allied with humans.

So were they strong allies?

Of course not...

All allies were temporary and fighting had always been taking place.

The main reason for gathering here was to show off prestige and the rule of fist matter, the younger ones of the races that performed well would have a rise in reputation.

At the end of the platform...

Captain Maris, the human warrior, stood at the forefront, his gaze sweeping over the assembled cadets with a mixture of pride and determination. Beside him, Lieutenant Alara, an elven archer, and Sergeant Grumok, a towering minotaur, exchanged nods of acknowledgment as they stepped forward.

"Ha! So this is happening again."

Just as Maris sighed, he felt a strong hand slamming on his back.

BOOM!

"You have to hold in Maris...Stop whining like a kid...Hahahah!"Grumok laughed aloud and then looked at eleven girls.

Alara's expression crumbled and averted her gaze when shouted, "Don't look at me like that. It is only you who enjoy this..."

Speaking of this both Maris and Alara looked at one another trying to hold back their tears.

Everyone knew the significance of the event but only those who oversee the things know it's horror.

The higher one just decides and dumps everything.

The beginning was always easy but as things progressed, fights would occur like maniacs with each one going over the other's throat.

It would be a bloodbath and in the end, they would need to take care of them.

And of hell, few races who like to fight would even pounce on them even after the event.

So unless you are a masochist like this minotaur you wouldn't want to be here in such a place.

Amidst the flurry, Maris stepped forward as usual to give a small speech.

Maris addressed the cadets once more, his voice ringing out with pride. "Today, we have all gathered to witness the strength of unity and forge brotherhood among one another " he declared, his words carrying across the arena while trying to hide his disgust.

After all, he knew all spoke was nothing but shit.

"This place is cruel with lots of dangs but together, we will surely prevail."

"Everyone would be transported into a separate place created by a joint effort of every species."

"The one who got the first position will get the Tear Of Isle of Elves, a runic armor from Genomes, and a personally forged weapon by the grandmaster Dwarf Smith."

The moment Maris declared the prize, the crowd burst into cheering loudly.

"WOOOOOOO!"

"Did you hear that?"

"Of course...I heard that, he is talking about me.."

"Hey, what did you say you ox shit..."

"What Ox...How dare you bunny ear bastard..."

"I will win...We elves are superior beings."

"Fuck off!"

Maris who saw this felt like crying..

'It's beginning...It's beginning....'

However, amidst this, he suddenly noticed the human side howling like thugs suddenly keeping their lips mum.

A deadly silence resonated for a moment and other races who were bantering loudly also got silenced for a moment.

A few who were close to human cadets were about to ask but stopped seeing some of them trembling pitifully looking somewhere.

They followed their gaze and it landed on a tall, lean human walking into the Stands

They were a bit surprised wondering why humans were reacting like that but just then the human-looking around them..

And then his golden glowing eyes and an evil smile reflected in their eyes

The moment they looked into those eyes it instantly gave them goosebumps turning their legs soft.

Leon, who looked at the huge crowd, couldn't help but just smile heartily.

''Oh my my! We have so many golden gooses here...''

''Interesting.''
