Book 2: Chapter 50.2: The Final Round Part II

Scarlet

Looks like you were right, Emily says as we all see the man whose title I believe was the Shadow Blade vanish after dying with his neck still held in my hand. Aquatic Pride really did send their stealth Guardian straight to us at the start.

I glance at Denise after that to find her letting out a sigh and saying, It was inevitable. Their team leader, Ace, is a childhood friend of mine, and he was rather upset that I didnt go to Aquatic Pride. Even though he was the entire reason I didnt go in the first place.

Wait, I mutter, bringing everyones attention to me, was he the one you were looking for on day one of the first semester?

She nods her head.

Even though you knew he went to a different university? I prod with a brow raised.

Well, I wouldnt put it past him or father for that matter to get into Lions Heart and try to convince me to go to Aquatic Pride, she says, sounding rather displeased with that fact.

Huh. Guess Im not the only one with parent issues.

None of us say anything for a few seconds before I turn to Michael, saying, That was a pretty good plan by the way.

He smiles and says, Why, thank you! I knew Emilys AOE skill would come in handy for this particular round because its different from the others. Different in that the round while we technically dont have to attack is set up in a way that encourages the teams to attack other teams towers and destroy their cores. He looks around at the others who are all listening to him as we walk over to the balcony to look outside. And when Denise mentioned her past with Ace, I thought it was a perfect opportunity.

Yeah, certainly worked well alright.

Not to mention, he adds while turning his attention between me and his sister, didnt you two have pretty good chemistry between some of your skills?

I grin at that.

Yep, I answer with a nod before turning to Emily to find her smiling as well.

This will be fun!

I feel bad for the other students already Tar mutters, likely referring to how theyre gonna be feeling the pain of having their blood burned, life drained, and having various maladies forced into them, all at the same time.

Well, too bad for them. The pain in a magical reality is only set to fifty percent of the actual pain they would be feeling in the real world, not to mention that they have to get used to pain since the demons arent going to just let them go when theyre hurt.

True, Tar says, agreeing with that. Its still not something Id ever want to go through myself.

Before you go, Michael says, bringing both my and Emilys attention towards him again. Would you mind helping with some more traps first?

Emily quickly nods at that and begins following after him, following his instructions.

And while they do that, I walk over to the edge of the balcony before trying to decide which of the towers I should target first.

This is going to be so much fun!
