Chapter 206: Cousin? (1/2)

Theo put down his luggage in the hotel room.

As one would expect, the room wasn't that big, but it was clean and enough for him to live comfortably for a week or two. There was a bed, a bathroom, and a pair of table and chair for him to work.

After putting down his spears, he opened his Skylink, finding a message from Ellen and Alea.

They asked him to meet them in the lobby.

Of course, Theo didn't follow it immediately. Instead, he checked every door to make sure it was safe. Even if they were a small country that no one had high hope for, it was better safe than sorry.

He reached for the TV screen, turned it on, stood in front of the window and looked outside while listening to any kind of news. Even though it was in Italian, he got the translated version in his Skylink, so he didn't get bothered by it.

However, as one would expect from a Grand Competition surpassing even that of a soccer competition like FIFA, the Grand Gaia had taken over the media, elevating the scale of one competition to an Olympic.

He heard the ringing melody of the theme song and smiled. ”Before thinking about the main stage, I need to come up with a way to fight against Indonesia and Australia in my block. There's a chance that we need to fight them, so we can't lose if we want to get into the top eight.

”The competition is still unknown, so I can only wait for the competition to start, albeit it's not going to be easy. A puzzle, a hunt, and a race, huh.” Theo closed his eyes and took time to think about what kind of round it was.

After getting enough time alone in his room, he finally left the room and headed to the lobby, finding Alea and the others waiting for him.

”Theo, we are going to the stadium where we will fight in a few days. Wanna come with us?” Alea waved her hand while glancing at Ellen and the others.

”Has the instructor told us anything?” Theo asked first while looking at the lobby. It was quite bustling with people, especially since the entire city was in a festive mood.

He could see many decorations for the Grand Gaia Competition on the way. There were balloons, merchandise and other things that filled the city, making it even grander.

That was why the stadium might be packed with people even though the competition hadn't started yet.

”Yes. He said the training starts tomorrow. Right now, it's only 1 PM here, so Instructor Radvils said as long as we're back before 8 PM, everything is allowed. Just make sure we don't get lost.”

Theo pondered for a moment and nodded. ”Then, I guess we can relax for a bit today. Do you have any plan to—”

Before he finished, Alea, Ellen, and Phyrill actually took out a pamphlet showing a few locations.

Without giving any answer, Theo already knew they had plans.

”I know it's going to be like this.” Theo let out a long sigh and said, ”Alright. Let's go.”

”Yeay!” Alea and Ellen had a high-five as they both managed to get the serious Theo out of the hotel.
