Book 5: Chapter 49: A Surprise

Scarlet

Now that our resident prince and princess duo are awake again, let me truly set off the tournament, Oberon says as I watch him spread his draconic wings out to his sides. The first competition is officially over and the tournament begun, but we are nowhere near the heart of the tournament yet! So make sure you keep up, because the second competition will be beginning momentarily!

Already?

I know some of you may be surprised, after all, this is only the first day of the tournament and there are already two competitions, Oberon says, almost like hed read my mind. But dont worry, for all of the competitions after this will be on separate days, with some competitions lasting for several days instead of the several hours this first one took!

Oh. Okay.

I hold myself back from yawning again, feeling more than a little sleepy still from my nap.

The second competition of the tournament will be a monster hunt!This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Monster hunt?

My eyes narrow slightly.

Thisll be interesting.

The Fae King goes on explaining about the next competition for a little while before putting the rules up for everyone to see. And as it turns out, the rules are actually incredibly similar to Demon Hunt from the tournaments back on Earth. Where we go and hunt demons to get points.

Just that instead of hunting demons, were hunting monsters.

And just like the first competition of the tournament, this one ends up rather boring as I spend the whole thing surfing around on a tidal wave of Red Plague, devouring all of the monsters I find. Although I cant sleep this time, unfortunately. Because the monsters are all different. And Id rather not accidentally devour someone with my Red Plague.

That would be awkward.

Our inner conversation is interrupted when the fae king continues speaking over the roaring audience, finally taking the attention off of the competitors, However, for those of you who havent had enough excitement yet, I have a special little event for you all!

I blink in surprise at this.

Hes not closing the day out?

And Im not the only one surprised, considering the clamoring in the audience.

Im sure you all noticed the other four stadiums around this one, King Oberon says while snapping his fingers, making images of said four stadiums appear above his head. Well, since youre all contractors yourself, dont you think itd be a waste? To have you all gathered here during these months and not have you compete in your own little games?

The crowd is beginning to grow more than a little excited as he speaks, showing that most people seem to agree with him.

Just for the duration of this tournament, any duels undertaken within one of the four arenas and overseen by a fae prince or princess will grant the winner of the duel the EXP they would be awarded should they kill the loser! But dont worry! The anti-death clause will always be active during these duels, so even if you die in them, you wont be losing anything! King Oberon declares, making the crowd instantly shoot to a loud roar in volume, everyone showing extreme excitement and enthusiasm for this new event. Before we begin that, I should introduce the rules for these duels! He pauses for a second, following which numbers appear over each stadium representing the Classes. Class I and II Guardians and demons will be dueling in the gray colored stadium, Class III Guardians and demons will be dueling in the green stadium, Class IV Guardians and demons in the purple stadium, and last but certainly not least, Class Vs will be dueling in the black stadium! Only four duels can be undertaken at the same time within each stadium, and they will be held in unique arenas determined by the fae royal and their contracted partner currently hosting the arena! Meanwhile every arena will have the fae royal and contracted partner swapping out to give them all rest between the competitions.

I glance at Tar with a scowl on my face.

Can I punch your father?

What?! No! he practically shouts in my mind. Dont go punching people because they took away your naptime!

I let out a huff of air and turn back towards the air.

And why dont we start things off with having our current first place competitor hosting the first Class V arena! King Oberon declares with a mischievous tone of voice as a spotlight shines on me again.

So I turn back to Tar again with my scowl only growing on my face.

No! Tar repeats himself, even if his denial is less enthusiastic this time. No punching!
