初女破初的娇喘

The system windows were playing the livestream, so he really didn\'t need to stay still to watch it. In fact, he didn\'t need to watch the livestream at all; he could just expand his sensory field and know everything that\'s happening within the continent, but he did it this way anyway. The screen was divided into four, displaying the events in the tournament in each region at the same time.

Others may not be able to pay even attention throughout all four, but not Cedric; to him, this was as simple as breathing.

"Let\'s see if there are any promising talents here." Cedric hummed to himself as he continued watching.

He listened to the casters\' long-winded opening speech and zoned out for a bit. His attention only returned once the first event of the tournament started.

For the thousands of participants in both the Superhuman and Planar Traveler Brackets, their first test is race.

Yes, a race.

A long and challenging race track was prepared for them. It\'s divided into five sections; each checkpoint has a certain obstacle that the participants need to solve in order to pass through it. The obstacles aren\'t static; they depend on the participant\'s aptitude and were deliberately created to put pressure on them.

Actually, calling this race is a bit deceiving...

The final results of each participant in this regional tournament won\'t count the speed at which they completed each test. This logical ruse is used to put more pressure on the participants, forcing them to display their skills for everyone to see.

That\'s the entire point of this event, after all. And obviously, Cedric could see through this ruse.

"Oh! Look at this!" Cedric chuckled as he saw some familiar faces on the livestream.

"Isabella Frostwind and Garrick Stoneheart. Haven\'t seen them in a while."

Yes, Cedric could still remember these two. They were his batchmates in the Starlight Royal Academy, but once the war for supremacy started, he never had the chance to see them in person again.

Of course, they weren\'t the only familiar faces he saw. He also saw a few of his batchmates, seniors, and juniors from the academy as well. Seeing these familiar faces really takes him back to the good old days.

"God, I\'m starting to feel my age." Cedric laughed at himself as he continued watching the broadcast.

As expected, Isabella and Garrick were dominating the Planar Traveler Bracket. They\'re just on a whole different level compared to others. He even saw some comments that they\'re being unfair and that this is bullying.

Well, that\'s just the way it is. They could complain as much as they could, but it wouldn\'t weaken those two.

Cedric wasn\'t just watching the broadcast online. His senses are actually focused on the tournament sites, allowing him to analyze the performance of every participant closely.

He was impressed with both Isabella and Garrick\'s achievements. The former was not only gifted but also immensely skilled and talented. Her control and comprehension over concept laws were excellent, allowing her to solve the obstacles with grace and finesse. The latter was a skilled brute, which sounds like an insult, but it\'s really not.

The amount of strength Garrick could harness was immense, allowing him to easily overpower the obstacles in front of him with barely an effort. Cedric could tell that if Garrick used more force, he\'d actually destroy the entire tournament site. That\'s how absurd and how much raw power he has.

As the event went on, Isabella dominated the Northern Regional Tournament of the Planar Traveler bracket, and so did Garrick, representing the Southern Region. As for the Western Region, they have a guy named James Lockheart in the same bracket as Richard Waltz in the Eastern Region.

James and Richard aren\'t as strong as Isabella and Garrick, though, so at most, they would compete for 3rd and 4th place. But even that\'s not for certain because Cedric could feel that some participants haven\'t shown all their cards just yet.

As for the Superhuman bracket, there\'s quite a few that left an impression on Cedric. Actually, he\'s paying more attention to this bracket compared to the others because the seeds of the new generation are here.

With mental command, Cedric received the system profiles of these kids. Nothing was kept a secret from him because of his authority.

The first one he noticed was a girl named Rachel Summers. She\'s 15 years old and is a Tier 7 superhuman. Her class template was Psionic Master, a fairly rare template that bestows the power of telepathy, telekinesis, and other related skills on its users.

Rachel isn\'t the only Psionic Master who\'s participating in the event, but what sets her apart from the rest is her skills. Cedric saw her compressing materials that were at least ten times her height and weight into orbs revolving around her. She could turn them into any shape she wanted, and it didn\'t seem difficult to her.

She knows when to time her psychic shields properly and has excellent combat instincts too.

According to her profile, she came from a civilian background. She\'s enrolled in a coaching center and was recommended to participate in this event. Cedric also saw that she goes into the Hell Dives once a week, regardless of success or failure.

Her overall aptitude rating was originally a B-rank. Through sheer effort and hard work, though, she upgraded it to A+ rank, just a shy step away from S-rank.

Given that she didn\'t come from an impressive background, her profile is extremely impressive. And she\'s just 15! Even Cedric wasn\'t this impressive when he was 15.

Another impressive kid Cedric discovered was a young man named Christopher Miles, who prefers to be called Chris since it\'s easier to say.

Chris, like Rachel, is a 15-year-old Tier 7 superhuman, but he\'s at Level 9, unlike Rachel, who\'s at Level 8.

The young man\'s class template was called Spear Saint, an epic rarity class, and his overall aptitude ranking was S-rank. Just from these alone, any organization would welcome him with open arms and pour resources into him. But Chris actually places a lot of importance on his freedom.

His usual excuse to refuse invitations from several organizations is that he\'s still young and naive and that he wants to explore and experience the world a bit more before making any commitments. Backed by his fairly impressive background, it renders those who wanted to poach him helpless.

Chris comes from a military background. His father is an Army officer who\'s had 20 years of tenure, and his mother was a military nurse, a head nurse at that. Their family isn\'t lacking in terms of money, authority, or resources, allowing Chris to somewhat remain unfettered in his youthful days.

Chris was gifted and talented. At his tender age, he already comprehended the initial structure of his spelling intent. He just needs more experience and tempering before it eventually blooms into real intent. Yet despite being a fierce warrior, Chris was fairly timid, according to the system\'s judgment.

The next one he discovered was another young man named Rupert Lockheart, a 17-year-old Tier 9 Level 1 superhuman.

Rupert\'s class template is called Moonlight Sorcerer, a peak Epic class template. This class allows him to effortlessly weave the majesty of the night into his spells. He could conjure moonlight crystal shards that home to his targets, release a starry cloud that confuses his enemies or renders them immobile, and use spells that harness the power of moonlight and starlight.

Like Rachel, Rupert comes from a civilian background but was orphaned at the tender age of 8, something that Cedric sympathizes with. But because he was lucky enough to receive this epic class template, he was taken by Headmistress Lissandra of the Starlight Royal Academy as her disciple and has been learning under her for close to three years now.

Also, just like Chris, Rupert\'s aptitude was S-rank, allowing him to breeze through the Tiers and Levels of the Superhuman Realm.

Rupert could\'ve been a planar traveler now if it weren\'t for Lissandra\'s behest. She doesn\'t want him to blitz through the tiers without solidifying his foundations first. As his teacher, she naturally wants her disciple to eventually surpass her achievements; that\'s why she asked him to slow down his progress and hone his skills as a sorcerer for now.

According to the system\'s remarks, Lissandra wasn\'t holding anything back for this disciple of hers. She\'s mobilizing all the resources she\'s accumulated so far; originally, this was meant for her, but now she\'s using them to pave the way for her disciple. It could be said that she\'s treating Rupert as the son she never had.

She did, after all, pay a personal visit to the graves of her student\'s parents and promised that she would raise him well on their behalf. Unbeknownst to her, she got their approval when she did this.

There\'s obvious more kids that\'s worth his attention. But just by looking at these three, Cedric couldn\'t help but feel that all of his efforts and sacrifices were worth it.

"There really is a bright future ahead of us."
