The next day, an update on the tournament was broadcast for teams to better reevaluate themselves.
"Looks like we will be starting earlier today," Brandon said.
"I figured they would do that with the amount of activities they have planned. We would need more time", Angelo said.
"But isn't 10 am a bit too early?" Alec groaned.
"You are only saying that because you wouldn't be able to grab a 2nd round of breakfast", Maya chuckled.
"Yeah, I'm surprised you aren't bloated," Isabella said.
"With the amount of training we do, I doubt any of us can get bloated," Natalie said.
"Well, with the amount of time we will spend here, it's possible we won't have room to train like this when we are back at school", Dom said.
"True, so watch what you eat, Alec; we wouldn't want to return you to school with you the size of a Flame hippo", Bruce chuckled.
"Whatever, let's just see what we have for the day," Alec said.
After breakfast at 8, the team sat at a table at the bar while checking the activities for the day.
Soccer 10 am - 12 pm, volleyball 12 pm - 2 pm, basketball 2 pm - 3 pm, 2nd round 100m race 3 pm - 3:05 pm, 1st round 200m race 3:06 pm - 3:10 pm, 1st round 500m race 3:11 pm - 3:17 pm, 1st round 1,500m race 3:16 pm - 3:25 pm, Archery 3:26 pm - 4: 30 pm, Javelin 4:31 pm - 5 pm, Discus 5:01 pm - 5:30 pm, announcement 5:30 pm, Dinner 6 pm, Social activities and networking 7 pm - 9 pm, curfew 10 pm.
"Well, that's a lot for one day,", Alec said.
"Considering we are military, I doubt they think it's enough" Angelo replied.
"At least you get to participate" Dom sighed.
"You are worried your mum won't see how much you have improved?" Brandon asked.
"I don't think she cares; for all I know, she might not even be aware I took part in the mythic evolution process as long my brother's was successful; she's not bothered about anything else," Dom replied.
"That's a lot of explanation for just one question" Angelo stated.
"You are worried; don't worry, you will get your chance,", Bruce said.
"Come on guys, let's go get changed; we will have to stay in our assigned sitting spots,", Natalie said.
"We will cheer you on" Bruce said as they left to get changed.
Alec, Brandon and Angelo walked into the locker room which was already partially filled.
"Looks like our competition is her,e," a boy from Vortex Military Academy said to his friends.
"Ignore them, they are trying to bait u," Angelo said.
Finding a quiet place the boys changed and made their way back to the stadium.
"Wow, I'm starting to wish this was how our uniforms were designed; it's so free and flexible," Alec said.
"You can always wear it underneath; we won't need it for anything else after the event,t," Angelo said.
"I guess it's a cool souvenir; I should probably get a battle suit designed like this," Brandon said.
"I can help with that. I was thinking of making a sort of team uniform; each suit will fit its wearer's fighting style and ability perfectly," Angelo said.
Sounds like a business idea, Angelo's Battle suits" Brandon replied.
"True, but I don't plan on starting a business with it; this will be just for us", Angelo said.
"Now what do we have here?" A voice said, it was the vortex academy guy.
"Hi, do you need help with something?" Brandon asked.
"Not really, just thought you should know the name of the guy who will win the 1,500m boys race. It's Necro Dane, the one and only" " the guy replied.
Alec and Brandon exchanged glances before a slight chuckle escaped from their lips leading to a round of laughter which greatly irritated Necro.
"What's so funny?" He asked furiously.
"Oh, nothing, well good luck in the race," Brandon said.
"Oh, you are the one that will need luck", Necro replied,d, walking away.
"Let's get to our assigned places before more Necros arrive," Angelo said.
After the track events were over for the day, the runners took to the tracks, starting things off with the 2nd round 100m races, which ended with Waterfall, Azio, and Blue River progressing to the next round.
For the 200m races, Alec and Natalie represented their school, taking the lead in both categories.
When the runners for the 500m were called for their race, the Blue River Academy representative was missing.
"Has anyone seen Edward? he's supposed to be run now" Mr Reginald asked.
"I last saw him in the locker room; I will go check", A student offered.
"We don't have enough time" Mr Reginald said with a slightly irritated tone, a nervous sweat rolled down his face.
"I will run in his place," Brandon said.
"But you're our runner for the 1,500m races; we can't afford to get you exhausted before then", Mr Reginald sternly replied.
" you know I am the best runner in our class; I can pull it off; if we don't send someone out soon, they will assume we have forfeited,", Brandon said.
"He can do it, sir; even if he doesn't get a gold in the 1,500m, he's sure to get a silver", Alec said.
Mr Reginald could feel a headache coming along; he had been selected as the coach for the runners during the game as he was in charge of most of their physical activities back at school; he hadn't planned any back runners because he believed all would go well.
"Fine, go, hurry up, Alec and Russell, find me, Edward", Reginald finally said.
Brandon quickly sprinted towards the field to join the lineup, to the confusion of some students; his name was used to replace Edwards's name on the leaderboard but was still also present for the 1,500m race.
And when the higher-ups said nothing about it, the race was allowed to commence. Looking ahead of him, Brandon scanned the area of the field, taking note of all the obstacles in the way which was a major part of every race.
Taking his position, he turned to his side to see one of Necro's friends grinning at him, probably thinking Brandon would lose both races.
"On your Mark, get set, ready..................go," The instructor called, kicking off the race.
The crowd cheered loudly as the guys raced against each other; Brandon was in 2nd place, with Necro's friend, whose name was Gabriel, in 1st; he turned around, making a face at Brandon, who just ignored him.
Soon, they approached the finish; the crowd noticed Brandon suddenly speeding up at a surprising rate. Gabriel was only a few feet away from the finish line when Brandon ran past him while yawning like it took no effort to overtake Gabriel; the crowd went wild as Brandon crossed the finish line, thereby winning that round and a whole lot of applause.
Gabriel, on the other hand, still had a dumbfounded expression on his face, he recalled being a good distance away from Brandon, and yet Brandon was able to overtake him.
When the participants for the 1,500m boys race were called, Brandon knew he would have to put up a show to disperse unneeded attention.
"On your Mark, get set, ready...............go," The Instructor called, sending them on their merry way.
As they started, Brandon maintained a constant third place behind Necro who later stood at first till the final hundred meters where he faked a struggling expression as he ran past the two individuals ahead of him, he threw Necro a taunting wink as he ran past him and crashed on the ground immediately he crossed the finish line.
The crowd went crazy with cheers and boos as the track events came to an end for the day.
The Range event didn't take long; Angelo represented his academy in archery with an actual bow and arrow, Brutus did Discus, and Maya did Javeli,n, and that was it for the day.
At dinner, while Brandon and the rest were chatting away, Necro and Gabriel walked to their table.
"Cheater," Necro said.
"Don't you mean cheaters because I see two of you, not one?" Brandon replied.
"We didn't need to cheat; victory would have been ours had you not cheated", Gabriel snarled.
"Then can you explain why Edward was locked in the locker room and the last two people he saw leaving had Vortex academy badges on their sports suits?" Brandon asked with crossed arms.
"Then he must have eaten something bad for him to hallucinate such things; let's go, Gabriel; these posers aren't worth our time,", Necro said.
"I would watch my mouth if I were you" Isabella warned.
"I bet there are better things you could do with your mouth if you catch my drift," Necro said with a smirk.
Isabella was about to react when a bolt of lightning travelled across their cutleries to the metal tray Necro was holding, turning him into a spiky-haired food monster.
Gabriel dragged away a shamed and humiliated Necro as the others laughed, trying not to look at anyone else as they left.
"Thanks," Isabella said.
"Anytime" Bruce replied with a wink.

It had been an impressive game so far and the students were pumped up for the finals taking place today.
The stadium was filled, and the players and participants were ready to wrap it all up.
The finals were intense, especially the field games, as neither team wanted to give in, but it all finally came to an end.
That night, they partook in a grand dinner which was somewhat more elaborate than their usual dinners.
The next day, they hosted a grand celebration to mark the success of the event as the winners were presented their prizes.
"Good morning, everyone; I'm sure you all had fun; it's my pleasure to announce the winners of the sports events,", MC Collins said as the giant leaderboard behind came to life, displaying the scores and points of each Academy and their position.

A loud round of applause resonated within the stadium walls as the students called and cheered for their respective teams and winners as they were awarded their medals and trophies.
A few individuals stepped forward to do the honours, and an even louder applause was heard from the Blue River Academy section when Brandon collected two medals and trophies for the 500m and 1,500m boys race, most thought his getting 2nd would be a fantasy but he went above and beyond by claiming 1st position in both races.
"Now, now, Blue River, I'm sure you are very proud of your runners but be reminded that next year, another set of 1st years will be here and they might not do so well, anyways with that over and done, we have one final thing-" MC Collins' speech was interrupted when the fire came down on him, turning him into a pile of ash and a menacing roar was heard from the sky startling the students.
