NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 244 Final
The hustle and bustle of the crowd echoed in the empire's main square, where people had gathered en masse to witness the spectacle. The crowded street stalls offered a variety of delights, and nearby restaurants were filled with eager diners. High above, a giant screen projected the thrilling fight between Lady Emily and the imperial princess, Alicia.
The commoners watched with shining eyes and clenched fists, absorbed in the action unfolding before them. Every punch and every move in the fight was met with shouts of excitement and awe. Some spectators even became emotional to the point of tears, such was the intensity of the moment.
For them, witnessing the skills of the future leaders of humanity was a rare privilege, and this occasion was cause for unparalleled celebration.
As the fight grew more intense, the crowd's spirits reached their peak. Excitement hung in the air, and anticipation for who would emerge victorious increased with each passing moment. Determination and fervor reflected on the faces of those present, and the atmosphere was charged with electric energy.
Even in the intensity of the moment, spectators couldn't help but wonder who among the students of the three great classes of the imperial academy would emerge as the strongest.
Meanwhile, the boys and girls present in the square watched with admiration and enthusiasm. Each of them had their favorite, and the competition among them to defend their heroes was evident. The flame of determination burned in their hearts, inspiring them to dream of a future where they too could shine with such magnificence.
In the solemn hall where the dukes gathered, Gabriel watched Alicia attentively. All present had their eyes on her; as the princess of the empire, her status was slightly superior to Emily's. However, this did not diminish Emily's importance; after all, in her veins flowed the blood of Noah, the blood of a dragon.
Noah, for his part, also directed his gaze towards his daughter. Although it pained him to see her injured, he understood that it was part of the path she had to tread. He fondly remembered the moments when he had taught her to handle the sword, or when he had healed her after a battle.
He also remembered his wife embracing her while she cried over the wounds suffered during training or in the moments when she happily recounted her progress and her father's congratulations.
Noah's wife looked on with crossed eyes at her daughter's wounded body. Although her feelings were mixed, a small smile appeared on her face at the outcome. Seeing her daughter and her childhood friend embracing in their final moments filled her with pride and melancholy. Some tears escaped from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks, but Noah wiped them away with a small smile and nodded solemnly.
Both were proud of the outcome of the fight between the two.
The other dukes also nodded in satisfaction at the fight they had just witnessed. However, Athena's eyes shone brightly. In her mind, she had already decided to take both young women as her disciples, seeing in them a potential that needed to be cultivated with care and attention.

The darkness rushed along the ground as it spread at maximum speed, but Angela frowned, her hands glowed, and the flames descended from the ground, flames as white as the sun itself stopped the darkness dead in its tracks, two parts, two colors, or two completely divided tones.
Anthony looked at Angela; it was beautiful, very beautiful, but his indifferent and expressionless gaze gave it even more beauty, a cold beauty.
Anthony looked at the staff now turned into a sword, his beautiful wings with a wingspan of almost 7 meters, he wore a white robe with golden stripes that moved with the wind just like his white hair, his eyes were extremely white, almost transparent, he watched as his darkness was suddenly stopped, he looked at the others present in the place, Daniela, Edward, Ezequiel, Adelaida, Leopold, Angela, and finally, and miraculously, Nicholas; this was a surprise for him.
His red eyes searched for his sister but he couldn't find her, and Alicia wasn't there either. He let out a small sigh.
His gaze swept over everyone; undoubtedly, the most challenging opponents were Edward, Ezequiel, and Angela, but the most dangerous was Angela. He had some doubts about Nicholas, but these four were, in his opinion, the most dangerous at the moment. He looked at Daniela, and Adelaida and Leopold were relatively tired: "Here is where everything is happening!
How exciting!" A shrill voice came from behind Anthony; his purple eyes were very excited, his steps were slow and steady, Charlotte with a beautiful smile on her face proudly walked beside Anthony; he looked at her with tenderness; he had found her on his way here, he scared her at first, and then he took her with him.
All the other students were dead; only the nine of them remained. Victoria, Eleanor, Emily, and Alicia from the main cast were missing. Angela's white eyes became even colder as she looked at Anthony; the darkness emanating from him made her feel
frustrated; it was too dark, too vile, and it smelled of death and destruction, too disgusting for her sight. The reason for this was that darkness is represented by the corruption that corrupts the souls of living beings. Darkness, in the same way, is the counterpart of the light of Angela's flames. The church is very fierce against corruption, but they are very kind to living beings. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Since she was a child, Angela, like her sister, was educated by her mother; for both of them, darkness was evil. Angela's main personality is compassionate; she does not hate this color, but her counterpart hates it with all her soul.
Anthony calmly drew his sword, the blade was red with details; his sword began to emit an ethereal glow, his eye and hair color changed to a deep black; his gaze was fixed on Angela; he wanted to fight her; the others didn't matter to him at all; he just wanted to fight her, nothing else.
