Book 2: Chapter 79: A Special Arena

Scarlet

I spend all of the downtime between rounds simply going over the other competitors whove reached the semifinals, making sure I remember each of their skills by heart so that Ill be ready to deal with them. And I wouldnt be surprised if theyre doing the same.

The moment the countdown at the center of the stadium strikes zero, we all appear on top of a large tower in the center of the stadium with the crowd going absolutely crazy.

And the time has come! For the semifinal round of the first Primary tournament of the year!!! Black shouts after appearing from a cloak of shadows in the air above us. Are you ready?!The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

The crowd somehow gets even louder something I didnt think was even possible.

Then lets begin with the rules for this round! Black says, sounding sufficiently amused by the audiences reactions. Unlike the other rounds, this one will pit all five remaining participants against each other in a free-for-all round! The students are allowed to team up with each other, they can use stealth, they can even gang up on a single student if they want to! Everything goes except for blatant cheating which will be punished severely if caught! But no matter what, the round will be over the moment only two participants remain standing amongst these five! These two participants will then compete in the final round to see who will take home first place!!!

At this point, Im very thankful for the magical realitys protection to my ears. Because Id probably have gone deaf a long time ago without it.

Oh. Thatll be interesting.

Will certainly make camping an impossibility. Or at least very annoying for someone to do unless theyre just lucky. Or they try to camp after killing a different participant.

The two continue going on about some special qualities to the different sections that I make sure to take note of before Black eventually floats upwards again, spinning around in a spiral as he does so until he stops, his arms spread out as he shouts, Now are you all ready to get this round underway!!!

The audience roars all at once, various different shouts rising up, all with a single meaning. Agreeing with what he said.

Then lets get this round started! Black shouts again, meanwhile I find myself being teleported into the arena right in front of the blood lake.

I grin.

Thisll be fun.
