My Wife is the Asura Empress-Chapter 226: The Ultimate Triumph: Creating History (2)

This remarkable achievement of scoring such high battle points left everyone in amazement, especially considering that even the first runner-up had managed to become the third-highest scorer in the tournament's history, second only to the previous highest scorer record holder, Lily.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense as everyone waited for the retired General to reveal the winner of the tournament.

"Rio Havenglow," the old man's voice boomed across the room as he announced the name of the victor. It was as if a bomb had gone off, causing everyone to tremble in shock and their hearts to race.

A pin-drop silence descended over the hall as the name echoed in everyone's ears. The students and spectators looked at each other in disbelief, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Their mouths were agape, and their eyes widened with shock as they struggled to process the news. The realization slowly dawned on them that the adopted child of Havenglow had just created history, and they could not contain their excitement as this was the family that saved them sixteen years ago against the Dhovrix Race.

The announcement left everyone in utter disbelief. The headmaster of the Golden Seal Military School himself looked baffled, and the expressions on the faces of Lucas, Sophia, Talia, and their schoolmates said it all.

It was an outcome that no one had ever thought possible. It was common knowledge that Lily was the favored daughter of the Strongest Seven Silver Sword family, The Havenglow, but Rio, who had been adopted only a few months ago, had shattered all expectations.

How could this be? The rumor was that he had no innate talent and his engagement with Nyla had fallen apart because of this reason by the Mailon family.

But now, with this unprecedented victory, the rumors seemed to be nothing more than just that... rumors.

Soon, when they came out of their daze, Sophia and company were overjoyed and their faces lit up with excitement. They jumped out of their seats in sheer happiness, their eyes gleaming with pride and admiration.

As they looked around, they saw that all their schoolmates were cheering and clapping for Rio. Sophia and Lucas hugged each other tightly, not able to contain their excitement. They had witnessed Rio's strength firsthand but never imagined he would thrash everyone in the tournament while being in the smallest team.

Even Talia, who had been quiet and brooding throughout the tournament, couldn't help but deep down feel a sense of pride for Rio's victory as her school won the national military school tournament. The Headmaster was grinning from ear to ear, his eyes filled with gratification as he looked at his students' success.

It was a moment of pure happiness and joy, a moment they would never forget. They had all witnessed Rio's And Nyla's strength during the fight against the evil team but they never imagined these two were going to create history. James, Lucy, Sophia, Lucas and everyone from their school were happy.

The old man spoke, his voice filled with veneration, "It's no surprise that Aliyah Havenglow chose to adopt this child, for she saw the potential in him to surpass even her beloved daughter. Let us all give a round of applause to Rio Havenglow, the new champion of the national military school tournament"

As the old man's words sank in, the room finally roared with a thunderous round of applause as the hall erupted with cheers, clapping, and whistling as most people were joyous at the revelation.

The audience eagerly awaited the winner's arrival on stage. But to their surprise, there was no sign of him. People began to whisper and murmur, wondering where the new champion had gone.

The old man scanned the room for any sign of Rio, but he was nowhere to be found.

"Where is he?" he questioned, his gaze fixed on the Golden Seal Military School's headmaster.

There was silence in the room as the old man asked, even the headmaster himself didn't know where was this boy as he didn't expect Rio to win this tournament.

Nyla rose to her feet and said, "Rio didn't come today But he asked me to accept the trophy on his behalf."

The old man questioned, his brows furrowed in confusion, "Why would he not come to claim his rewards after achieving such a remarkable score?"

Curiosity burned within the hearts of everyone present. They couldn't fathom why the boy would refuse to show up, especially when he knew that he was going to make history and be the center of attention.

Nyla's voice was calm as she explained, "Rio wanted to continue his training in the Land of Asura, so he requested me to attend the ceremony on his behalf. I also wanted to accompany him but he told me at least one team member should be present here today so I came."

Her calm voice echoed through the hall, cutting through the murmur of the audience. As she spoke, the faces of those present began to soften, a sense of respect settling over them.

Many were impressed by the boy's dedication to his hard work and the fact that he was willing to forego the recognition and glory that came with winning the tournament.

The old man let out a deep sigh as he spoke, "That boy is something else, he truly doesn't care about the glory and praise. While we are all here basking in the announcement, he's still training hard. It's no wonder he surpassed you all even in his first year.

The Havenglow family is truly blessed to have adopted such a remarkable boy, they now have two precious gems in their household." He couldn't help but be amazed at Rio's dedication to his training, even though his absence disappointed everyone.
