Chapter 64 - 63: Ever-Growing Harem.

It was the second day of the competition,

After winning all the five matches against team number 15, we advanced to the second day of the tournament, where all the top eight teams that have advanced in the quarterfinal will fight against each other to advance into the semi-finals.

Killian is still recovering under intensive care, he should be fine in a week. But I have heard that he had suffered heavy mental trauma.

"Have you heard?" asked Idiot A.

"Heard what?"

"About you, the nickname people call you by?"

"People call me by a nickname?"

"Yes, after your match with Killian people call you by ....." with a little pause he spoke the name "People call you Bleeding Ashen of the Goldberg city"

"Oh—Ah?" I exclaimed.

"Why do you mean by "Ah?", you know how cool that nickname is? I wish I had a name like that."

"Well, you can have a name like that. Apparently, you have to just beat the shit out of someone to receive a name like that." I replied.

What I did to Killian was cruel, it was definitely cruel to brutally beat someone when they are begging you to stop. But the thing that I can't seem to understand is that no one was afraid of me after that fight, on contrary, they view me as a hero for beating their city's bully and even gave me a cool nickname.

They call me a hero for beating Killian brutally, but am I really a hero? Would a hero do a thing like this? Would a hero beat a guy even if they cry and beg to stop?

But there was also the fact that in truth, I enjoyed beating him.

More than a hero I might be a monster.....

Our current match is against team number 13. We have already won 4 out of 4 rounds of this match-up. The only person that was yet to fight was Idiot A.

"Okay, it's my turn." Said Idiot A as he walked into the ring, it was finally his turn. He was the last person that will be fighting from our team.

"Would you mind if I get seated next to you?" asked Lora, who was standing beside me and asking my permission to sit beside me.

"I don't mind at all, get seated here," I said as I stood up clearing the seat for her. Well, I didn't want to catch unnecessary attention seating beside her.

As I was standing up, she pulled me back to the seat grabbing my hand.

Holding my arm she spoke up, "Why are you avoiding me? Did I do something to upset you?"

"No, your majesty, actually it would be bad for your image if someone were to see you with a nobody like me."

"Don't worry, no one will say anything, and besides I am just marking my territory since you are my future husband." She said shooting a glance at Rai.

In turn, Rai with an annoyed look clicked her tongue "Tsk!"

"Your majesty, I don't mean to offend you but what is even special in me?"

I call her "your majesty" not particularly out of respect, I just call her that since calling her Lora would be kind of awkward.

"Your looks!!" she replied answering my question.

Wow, I am amazed how she said that with a straight face.

"Your looks are something I adore, looking at your face I feel like not letting you get in someone else's hand. I feel like I just want to make you mine, only mine."

Oh, that's kind of sweet. But it's also giving me a yandere vibe, which is kind of------scary.

{Author note: A yandere is a character, most often female and in anime, who become violently possessive of a love interest.

Yandere is a basically crazy chick who would do anything for you, even push your grandma up the stairs.}

"Grey, you seem rather affectionate with the princess, is she a new part of your ever-growing harem?" asked Rai with a devious smile that gave of a frightening feeling.

What are you up to, woman!

"Harem?" asked Lora.

"Yes, harem. Do you have any idea how big Grey's harem is? Our boy Grey here is really popular among boys and girls alike and also his harem is massive."

"Massive?" asked Lora as her eyebrows twitched.

"Yes, to list his harem out, I would start with Aetna, Lily, Frank, Rin, Phil, Annie, Ellsa, Aria, and two hooligans that I see around him, this is the list of his harem."

Oi oi, who died and made my harem? And why there are boys listed in my harem. I am not gay, No homo!!!.

"Royal guard, did you write the name of the people that Miss. Rai has listed right now."

"No, your highness, but I have memorized it!!"

Lora! What do you need those names for?!! What are you going to do with those people?!

"I want to ask this question, Grey. Am I in your harem?" asked Rai touching my chest with her index finger.

"There is no harem! And besides, I love older girls----"

Well, Rin and Lora are technically older than me, Lora being 14 years old and Rin being 15 years old.

But that's not what I mean when I say I love older girls. What I really mean is a girl that is near 19-year-old or something.

And by 19 years old, I am talking about Sylphy. I wonder how Sylphy is doing right now, she would be 19-year-old right now.

I want to go back to her; she is the most ideal girl I have ever seen. I might even want to marry her.

With that thought, I let out a deep sigh.

"And the winner is---" announced the commentator as the match ended. The result was Idiot A winning the final match.

With this, we have won the quarter-finals and proceeded to the semi-finals.

And the team we will be fighting in the semi-finals will be a tricky one.. The opponent facing us in the semi-finals is ---- Ulrich's and Aetna's team.
