After another hour and ten or so minutes, enough time for a break and the rest of the sixth round battles, we all find ourselves sent back to the center of the stadium again, but this time we’re on a large tower sticking out of the mist. And we’re not alone as there are four other towers, each with the other teams all sticking out of the mist what must be three kilometers away from each other, with the five towers standing in a pentagon formation. Almost immediately, the crowd begins to shout, their…-

Some time passes and eventually Belle and Cynthia stop talking about annoying things. And I am very grateful of this. “So are there any other students you’re worried about competing?” Allen asks, sounding curious as we both watch the battles going on right now. And as if drawn by his words, my eyes gravitate towards one particular screen where I find a girl with stark white hair and white irises walking through a room, leaving behind the corpse of the student she had just quite literally blown the…

I feel immediate relief from my pain the moment we reappear in another white room with another team standing across from us. And it’s also right now that I am very thankful that the magical reality doesn’t extend to reality, because, as I’ve already learned, any pain I diffused while in a magical reality doesn’t need to be felt outside of it. A very convenient loophole. Yeah, it was a bit of an on the fly decision. Since the only ranged attacking skill I have is blood manifestation, and…

My shifted arm’s claws directly clash against his fist, sending a burst of blood and ice out around us, but in the end my blow along with gravity itself helping me sends him back. Before we hit the ground though, I see my arm slowly freezing from the claws up, leaving it as a solid block. I manage dealing with the pain much better than I would’ve just a month ago thanks to pain diffusion, which I’ve leveled up a few times to level 4 through some rather questionable training methods thought up by a…

From what I can remember, the one I already killed was the team’s debuffer, kind of like Emily is for our team. Which makes things easier for us in that we won’t have to worry about the curse magic he uses. Zero might be a challenge though. Currently our plan is going well, since we’ve managed to catch them off guard and take out one of their team, lowering the number of students they have. Which was a necessity, since they’re on average higher leveled than our team, with the only exception being…

After all of the interviews finish up, Scott finally sends us to the white rooms, where we find another team looking at us. And I immediately recognize one of the students in the team as one of the other participants in the Class I Solo Primary. The student in question seems to recognize me as well, considering that they nod their head in greeting. So I nod back before focusing on the screen in the white room to see five screens, each blank in the fog at the bottom of the stadium. Then, after just a few…

As soon as the last battle of the fifth round comes to a close, I find myself, along with the rest of the team and all of the other teams still in the tournament, getting sent back to the field of black stone that is the stadium floor. And not even a second later, the MC for this stadium immediately begins shouting, “And we’re now moving onto the semifinals for the Tower Siege Class I Team Tournament!!!” The crowd instantly goes wild at that, but he doesn’t stop there as the lighting within the…

Allen can’t help but question what he just watched. 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, “I’m glad the kid’s learned his lesson.” Allen frowns at that thought. 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…

The next couple of rounds go by rather quickly, with me simply eliminating the opposing team almost right away. It isn’t until the second part of the tournament begins, where the four stadiums are merged back into two instead, that our team actually has to work together to take on the opposing team. Although I still end up overwhelming whoever I’m fighting myself. I glance at the corpse at my feet before stepping over them and grabbing the core for our fourth round battle. Just like that dude. I…

The Ripper can’t help but lick his lips as he kneels on the roof of a nearby building, simply looking down at the Pod Dock Hall of the Lion’s Heart Guardians University. He can already sense his target close by, his blood hunt skill active through the drop of blood given to him by the client for the job. And the Class III Guardians down there won’t be able to do shit to stop him – a Class IV – from doing whatever the fuck he wants. And if that means he gets to have a little fun with the target…
