Book 2: Chapter 45: The Black Hand

A Private Booth of the Tournament

Allen cant help but question what he just watched.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

Did did Scarlet do something to that poor kid? Or what

He glances over to his wife to ask, only to find a wide smile on her face as she herself turns to him and says, Im glad the kids learned his lesson.

Oh. Oooh, its that kid. I remember now. And Im still glad that she hadnt attracted the other instructors attention yet at that point.

Allen frowns at that thought.

Then again, she probably traumatized some of the students during the second round too, and I dont think the instructors particularly cared.

He stares at the screen for a bit, just watching as Scarlet simply walks over and finds a nice spot to lie down for a short nap. And after watching her for a few more seconds, he makes a brief note to remind himself later to talk to her about traumatizing other Guardians.

Not something I ever expected to have to talk to someone about

His thoughts are interrupted by the buzzing of his terminal, making him quickly focus on it before finding a call from Sage. And the moment he accepts the call, she immediately starts it off by saying, The Black Hand has been wiped out.

Allens eyes shoot wide open, and he notices Cynthia stiffening and looking at the screen upon hearing those words as well.

How?! Allen shouts, unsure of if he should even be believing his ears right now.

An entire group of Class IV Rogue bounty hunters were eliminated in a single day?! How is that even possible?!

Scarlet

Sometime during my nice and very relaxing nap, the timer runs out and I find myself back in the private booth again. But I dont bother opening my eyes, because the luxurious chair Im on now is even more comfortable than the spot Id found in the tower.

Scarlet Wolf! Scarlet Wolf! Scarlet Wolf

That has me opening my eyes though with a slight frown.

I know that Scarlet Wolf is still my official title, with the other one actually being Apex Predator of the Guardian World or some really long title like that, and not the Apex Predator that they were originally saying. And it isnt an official title either. Just one that a lot of people refer to me by.

With that saddening thought in mind, I close my eyes again as the chanting of my official title begins to die down finally, the next battle beginning on the screen.

This whole tournament has been a bore so far.

I really wish the last set of rounds would come here sooner.

From what I understand, theyll be splitting the last fifteen teams up into a slightly different manner of brackets. In this one, each team will fight other teams chosen at random back to back. And whichever five teams reach two victories first gets to move onto the next round. Then the last round itself is a bit of a free-for-all, with there being five teams, five towers, and one core for each tower, the winner being decided by the last team to remain standing with their core intact, and with no time limit.

A much more interesting setup than this.

But at least weve finished with the more boring rounds. So well be moving onto the more interesting ones soon.

The sixth round. The back-to-back gauntlet of siege tower battles.

And a round I am very much looking forward to as I know for a fact that there are other Primary tournament competitors in this round, and Ill likely end up fighting at least one.
