Book 6: Chapter 8

Scarlet

After entering the VIP area, I quickly seal it off from those rather annoying stares. Because even if Ive gotten used to being a celebrity and known all over, it doesnt change the fact that it can get annoying sometimes.

Or, rather, a lot. Not just sometimes.

So howve you been recently? Michael asks as I walk up to the group sitting there in the booth, all of whom are the people who were in my old team. Very old team.

I answer with a nod while saying, Pretty good. You? Are you still getting people complaining about your own personal harem?

He starts coughing on the drink he was having while the others, including Belle, Arthur, Emily, and Denise.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

I glance at Denise while sitting down next to Belle, and she answers for her boyfriend, He hasnt had any trouble like that since we started dating and Arthur joined the team.

Ah, thats good then.

Mostly, Belle mutters, making me glance at her with a raised brow. So she continues while ignoring the glare Michael is sending her, Lets just say he ended up in a temporary team that was full of nothing but girls and him during one of his practical exams at Lion Heart. Anymore and Im afraid hell kill me.

I turn my head to stare at Michael, who is trying very hard to not return my gaze. Then I just tilt my head and utter, Oh?

He really has bad luck.

Right when hes about to respond, I blink, raising one hand to stop them as I close my eyes and send clones out.

Another Void Assault.

I quickly deal with all of the Corrupted Fractures that opened up in the Void Assault, which takes a few moments. Then I open my eyes again and lower my hand, saying, Alright, Assault dealt with. What were you going to say?

The others all look briefly surprised before Michael says, That incident happened a while back, and there hasnt been anything since.

She shakes her head as Michael and Denise talk between themselves and Belles boyfriend, Arthur, just continues watching the arena down below. Then she asks, Do you know when our fae will return?

Guess she would be worried too.

No, I dont know anything about it, I answer with a frown.

That visibly disappoints her as she looks down and mutters, Oh thought the Fae King mightve told you something, but I guess not

Nope, I state while returning my attention to the arena again. The Fae King hasnt even said anything to Gramps since the fae tournament, much less me. The only thing Ive been told is what they think the Void Fractures are. Nothing more.

Which has been rather frustrating. Being left in the dark.

Belle doesnt say anything after that, leaving the booth in relative silence other than Denise and Michael chatting amongst themselves. And, of course, the noises coming from outside of the booth. Which are plenty, even if theyre muted by the booth and the wall I set up around us.

We all watch the competition going on until the first competition finally comes to a close. Then starts his usual commentating.

And the winner of this years Demon Hunt competition iiiiiisss Black draws it out right when the disguised dude appears on the pedestal at the front of the stadium floor, the arena itself returning to normal. The Rifted One! And in second place, the Crimson Thorn! And lastly, third place goes to the Pink Rose! Give them all a round of applause!

Along with his words, two more smaller pedestals appear next to the first one, each with a person on it. The second highest pedestal having the person who is mimicking my outfit who uses destruction magic, and the lowest pedestal having the magical girl on it.

And immediately after that, the audience breaks out into roaring applause. But I cant help but raise a brow at the sight of the girl with destruction magic looking right in my direction while waving like crazy. Showing just how much the fan she is.

She found me rather quickly.

I have to say though, the next generation of Guardians are looking rather good.

The hint of a smile forms on my face.

A good generation indeed.
