Book 2: Chapter 62: Sleepover and a Plan

Scarlet

So after that, I walked right up to him and said, Im sorry, but I dont think my boyfriend would take kindly to you asking me out, Belle finishes saying before she, Emily, and Denise all break out into laughter. You shouldve seen his face afterwards! It was priceless!!!

Ill bet! Denise says while almost crying. Meanwhile Emily just flops onto her back while laughing her little head off.

After a few seconds of this I remove one of my hands from the pillow I was hugging before raising it slightly and asking, So, why exactly are you all here? In my room?

The girls all turn to me each of the three wearing pajamas as we sit on my enormous bed inside of my equally enormous room in my suite at the university before Belle says, Well, were here to celebrate you making it to the second round of the Primary tournament, of course!

I narrow my eyes slightly, shifting awkwardly due to not being used to wearing my usual sleeping attire of a pair of shorts and a tank top while others are around. Said others being these three who randomly showed up at the front gate asking if they could stay over for the night and bothering the poor guards stationed out there.

If you wanted to celebrate, you couldve done it through another training session, or at least a meal, I say, ignoring the way they flinch slightly at the mention of a training session with me. A sleepover is

Just the right thing to go with before a big, important second round! Belle says with absolutely no shame in her voice as she sticks out her chest in pride. Meanwhile Denise and Emily just start giggling at that.

I sigh in defeat.

Youre not gonna win this, you know that, right? Tar asks.

Unfortunately.

Oh, and tell your little fae friend to go away, Denise suddenly says, making me blink and Tar mutter, Huh?

Shes right, Belle says, this is time for us girls! Hes not allowed! Weve already kicked our fae to the wayside after all!

Poor fae.

You dont have to go Tar. Not if you dont want to.

I blink at him, my mouth opening and then closing twice in a row before I close it and focus on the brackets again.

It looks like my second round battle will be against a Guardian known by the name of Isaac Taylor, otherwise known as Supersonic. And it doesnt take much research after learning their name to find that they use lightning magic and have incredible speed.

Kind of like one of those twins that I fought during the ranking tournament at Lions Heart.

This

My eyes narrow as I find that they do use weapons, unlike that twin. And theyre a terror with them in conjunction with their superspeed and lightning magic.

This could be annoying.

Wait a second. No.

I grin as a plan comes to mind.

Yeah, that could work very nicely.

Youre doing that creepy grin again, Tar comments while glancing up at me from my lap. The one that makes people who are looking at you think youre insane.

Shut up, Im in the middle of plotting, I say out loud, not stopping grinning in the process.

The tanuki snorts at that but goes silent.

This plan will work quite well.

Now I just have to wait till our battle comes around. Since we dont appear to be till the middle of the round this time.

Guess I can just watch the other matches till then.
