Book 2: Chapter 40: Demon Hunt

Scarlet

For those of you who werent here during the first part of this tournament, look up at the sky for a list of the rules, the MC of the current tournament shouts as I sit in the bleachers with the rest of my team, quite pointedly ignoring the gazes Im gathering from other spectators around us. But now lets commence the second half of the annual starting secondary tournament, Demon Hunt!

I glance up at the sky as the crowd starts going wild, taking a look at the rules.

Demon Hunt

Class Restriction: Class III

Year Restriction: None

Age Restriction: None

Description: Demon Hunt is the annual first tournament of every Interschool Tournaments. In it, the students are all scattered around an artificially created set of four environments from the world of Tartarus. These environments include a forest, a volcano, a desert, and an ocean, and each of them is filled with Class II and III demons, none of which are intelligent.

Each kill of a Class II demon grants the student who does the last hit a single point, whereas each kill of a Class III demon grants the student who does the last hit five points.

Goal: The results will be decided upon by whoever has the most points.

Rules: Attacking other Guardians is not allowed. Stealing the kills of other Guardians is allowed. Guardians may work together, but the points at the end of each kill will only go to the one who makes the last hit.

Its kind of amusing to watch though.

I watch him go on a burning spree that makes him look kind of like a pyromaniac for a few seconds before swiping my hand in front of my face to break the screen as I focus on the main screen on the field again as the MC shouts, And thats the first Class III demon killed during the tournament!

The guest speaker who I believe for this tournament is some Guardian known as Archangel, a Guardian who is very invested in the Guardian Research Team finally speaks up, her clinical sounding voice echoing throughout the stadium over the audience, Considering that Rift is in this tournament, I dont think it will be much of a competition.

I raise an eyebrow at that obvious bias.

Now, now, Archangel, we cant just write off the other Guardians, the MC whose name I am struggling rather hard to remember says, clicking his tongue thrice. The others are all incredibly qualified in their own right after all.

Archangel doesnt say anything in response to that, simply staying quiet on the screen of mist at the side of the stadium high up in the air above any actual people showing her stiffly sitting next to the man as she stares out at the main screen. A screen which seems to focus a lot on Carol and a few other top tier potential winners. People who I remember seeing in the few betting sites I checked out in a brief bout of curiosity as the people who are most expected to win.

Its a little surprising just how many betting sites are set up for the tournaments, if Im being honest. But then again, that is a major place for the poor people of lower Tier cities to make money. Or, of course, go broke.

Im pretty sure they never got rid of it though because its many of the Tier 3 citys residents only hope for making the money to move to a Tier 2 city. And they were all vehemently against getting rid of it.

Rather sad in my opinion. But I have money now, so not my problem either.

Thats the governments problem.

I continue watching the tournament in silence for a little bit before some people walk up to me asking me for my autograph, startling me for a moment. Only a moment though, as I quickly sign it, wondering why theyd be willing to pay the price to have something from the magical reality 3d printed just because I signed it. A shirt no less.

But my thoughts come to a halt as more and more people start approaching me, making me decide in an instant that the next time I come to watch the tournament Im buying a private booth. Assuming I can as I think theyre normally allocated to the higher Class Guardians.
