Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

With every country introduced, the interview was going to begin. I couldn\'t help but be a bit antsy at the thought of us being called.

We saw that the interview had already started. Evergreen was the first country to be interviewed, and seeing that only the captains of each would be interviewed would mean that I would be the one to talk.

I hope the Celeste family wouldn\'t be pissed if I had taken the lead. Our headmaster said they didn\'t mind as long as I brought results, but I don\'t know what they\'re like.

Lisa, the girl we saw on the poster who was ranked third, was now live on air with her other three seniors.

"Lisa, you\'re on the list of being the third strongest. Do you think you will fare well against second and first place?"

Asking Lisa the straight hitter, Lisa closed her eyes and thought about how to answer. Just from this, I could tell that she was the calm and collected type.

"While Serena and Chelsa are strong, I will do my best as a captain."

As I expected from her, her answer was someone calm and collected. Coupled with her serious nature as a captain, she would be one of our biggest competitors. Seele, who was also ranked eight, was with them.

After asking a couple of questions, they changed the screen and went to Uthua. Uthua was ranked second last in last year\'s tournament. They had no one that I recognized.

"Crystal, it was predicted that your country would be placed last. How do you feel about it."

That was a nasty question to ask. Crystal wasn\'t someone I had recognized, but seeing how she was a dragonewt and a captain of her team. She should be worth something.

Crystal had shoulder-length aqua-colored hair and bright blue eyes. With how she looked, one would think she was a calm person. But when asked such a question, one could see her agitated.

"The question is simple. I will prove that I\'m the best."

Everyone who heard that had different reactions. All the competitors of our year had stared directly at her. Most of us wanted to crush her when she said that.

The crowd was also mixed about this. Some cheered for her, hoping that an underdog like her would win. And the others were booing her for her arrogance.

I, on the other hand, couldn\'t care because someone like her wouldn\'t be able to put a dent in me.

The caster recording this and announcing couldn\'t help but smile, seeing that everyone here was so competitive. An event like this would be successful for them.

"She sure is full of herself."

Serena couldn\'t help but sneer at Crystal. Crystal had ignited the spark within our team. It was good that they were ready.

"It\'s fine. It\'s not like we will lose."

I was confident that Crystal had no chance against us. So what I said wasn\'t arrogant but is the truth.

They finished with Crystal and Crystal\'s three senior interviews. Another team was up, and they changed the camera to team Estia.

"Mabel, like the country of Uthua. Your country is also ranked pretty low. Do you have any plans to overcome these expectations?"

"We do, but we have no plans to share that plan."

Mabel, who was representing Estia\'s first division, looked strict. Her glasses and sharp eyes make her look like an office worker.

"Then who do you think will be your biggest competitor?"

Seeing that Mabel wouldn\'t answer what she was asked, the interviewer asked a different and interesting question.

"If I had to pick a team, I would be most wary of Echela. But if it is our biggest competitor, then it would be Star State."

Echela had won last year, but what made her wary of them? Chelsa was first on the rank, but since Serena and I were also the third rank, it wasn\'t like she was much of a threat.

After asking many questions, they went to Echela. Everyone was now staring at Chelsa. Getting the third rank at our age is almost impossible. But in our year, there should be more than Chelsa.

"Chelsa, as the strongest, how good are your chances of winning?"

"One hundred percent."

Chelsa spoke in absolute confidence. One would think she was too arrogant, but she is ranked first. I can\'t wait to crush that confidence in her.

I was not listening to the broadcast anymore. Some time had passed. Finally, the interviewer got to us.

"Miss Solaris, I didn\'t expect you to be the captain."

The interviewer was a bit surprised to see that I was the captain. She looked at Serena, and Serena said nothing.

"We\'re going live in ten seconds, be on your best behavior ~!"

Seeing that the interviewer was playful, I knew she would ask nasty questions. Seeing the camera on me, I saw the interviewing was about to begin. I had to move together with my three other seniors.

"Live on team Star State. We have our four captains!"

"Charlie Solaris, I have a question for you. Many people thought Serena Celeste would be the captain. So why was it decided that you will be captain?"

"Who knows?"

I wasn\'t going to tell them that I was stronger to her than the world. That may cause me some backlash.

"Then what do you think of Chelsa\'s words?"

"Which one? I stopped listening to her after the first question."

"The first one, where she thinks she would win."

"I would say she is overconfident, even if she is a rank three magician. That is all she is. Getting the third rank isn\'t hard."

My interviewer smiled at my words, liking what I had said. Serena couldn\'t help but smile. She knew my words were valid.

"Then could I assume that your power is at that rank?"

Scouting how strong I was, I stayed silent. Thinking about what I needed to say, I spoke.

"You will have to see it when I fight."
