Book 5: Chapter 50: Judge

Scarlet

Look at the bright side, Tar says as I sit on a throne made of blood floating high above the arena while looking down at it with a bored gaze. At least we dont have to commentate!

Uh huh. We still have to be here. And I still have to watch.

Well, he said that we either do this, or were disqualified from the tournament, Tar continues, making me frown as I remember.

Stupid old dragon man thing.

Hes a fae, Tar corrects me.

I turn to stare at the tanuki on my lap for a few seconds. Then I look back down at the setup down below as the first duelists arrive in the arena.

Stupid old dragon man thing.

I can feel Tar staring at me, but I proceed to ignore him.

The audience in the stadium roars rather excitedly, and from what I can tell, the vast majority of the audience in the center stadium is in this one. Because when there are duels to watch, most people would choose the Class V duels.

It only makes sense. Theyre the most entertaining, and most people never get to see them.

Even if most of the people here are demons, considering the very limited number of Class V Guardians in existence by comparison.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Looking down at the duelists in my arena, I find them both to be demons this time. One being a vampire and the other a wolfkin.

So I raise my hand to mess with the special screen in front of me, choosing the arena environment theyll be fighting in.

Vampires use blood or darkness magic, and wolfkin use blood or enhancement type magics.

In which case

After messing with the screen for several seconds, the arena around the two duelists begins to shift until it forms a single large tower over an ocean of blood. And now, with the arena having been chosen, I rest my head on my hand, my elbow on my throne as I wave my other hand and declare, Begin, without any more fanfare.

Youre the highest level human now, and their savior, so I doubt theyll have anything to say, Tar comments, having apparently woken up from his nap at some point.

Yeah, guess youre right.

I glance to the side with a scowl on my face before lifting my head and snapping my fingers. The idiot human who had just attempted to interfere with the duel under my watch then floats up into the air as I use Blood Manipulation directly on their blood, which likely hurts them judging by their screams. Then I simply sweep my hand, sending them flying out of the arena without a care in the world for their safety.

Theyre Class V after all. A fall like that wont kill them.

And I continue watching the duel, putting my face back on my hand again.

Right, so, Tar, how long did I have to stay here again?

Tar doesnt say anything.

Tar?

I look down at the tanuki just to find him looking asleep again.

Seriously? I know youre not asleep.

Shhhh.

My eyebrow twitches as I pick up the tanuki and throw him into the sky, making him chuckle, only to float back down again.

Youre avoiding answering that question, arent you?

He doesnt say anything.

Which means that Im gonna be here for a while.

I better get some rest before the next competition.

Dont worry, youll have time for rest before it, Tar says, reassuring me and finally speaking again.

I let out a huff as I continue watching the battle down below.
