Demons Battle

Eargered

.

.

[Are you all ready for round two?]

“Yeah...!”

“Yes...!”

The whole audience in the arena were currently raising a ruckus and it was due to their positive screams. This was only just a mock version of Demons Battle and there were these much cheering from the fans.  Demons Battle was really the hottest trend.

The commentator was really enjoying the whole screams and the vibe. He decided to let the feeling of him emceeing the tournament take over him as he asked one moreover time...

[Are you all ready!!!]

“Yes.!!!”

“We are fucking ready!!!”

“Yeah”

The male teenagers seated among the audience were even taking their shirts off. The enthusiastic feeling of everyone became really contagious on the students.

Most of them smiled as they waved the audience from the center of the battle ground.

“Man I really do feel like a celebrity” Daniel waved his right hand to the audience while smiling. He was currently behaving like a celebrity towards the audience watching.

Kim just stood by with a disgruntled expression. He was still feeling embittered about what transpired between him and Daniel few moments ago.

Arata was currently waving the screaming audience too with a flattered smile.

Apart from Daniel and Arata the rest members of The Strongest Five just stood by. Hideyo was currently folding his arms with his head faced down. And that really makes it one more member remaining.

Although there were five members of The Strongest Five but there was something wrong.

(“I knew there were five complete members of The Strongest Five standing a while ago. But I can’t surely tell if there were five. It’s as if the last one wasn’t there.” Gabriel said in a vague manner. He was currently speaking in a confused and imprecise manner.

“I see. Then it means you’ve gotten a taste of the last member of The Strongest Five power.”

“His power? What exactly is his ability?”

“I wish I could tell you but I don’t actually know his ability. In short let me be blunt nobody knows who the last member of The Strongest Five is”

“I don’t understand?”

“Let me explain it in the simplest manner possible.”

“...”

“We all know there is one last member of The Strongest Five. We all know he’s here. We all know he fought in round one but we simply can’t tell who it is.”

“How’s that even possible?”

Gabriel became even more stupefied upon hearing what Sora was saying.

“I don’t know Gabriel. It’s like you’ve said,You knew the last member of The Strongest Five was there and at the same time you can’t tell if he was really there or who he is so you’ve experienced it too. That’s as far as we all know.”

“But wait what about the members of The Strongest Five. They should know who he is?”

Sora paused and thought about what Gabriel said for a second and said..

“No I don’t think so. It’s the same for them. I’m sure you’ve probably noticed that the members of The Strongest Five are not that united”

“...”

“So if they knew who he really was at least a news about him would’ve have definitely leaked by now besides I have never heard them talked about anything we don’t know regarding the last last member.”

“...”

“The members of The Strongest Five are ready to destroy the pride of their fellow member with any chance they get so I don’t see how keeping the secret of the last member is profiting them besides it’s been four years now.”

“...”

“Nothing is really hidden under the sun. Some news about him is bound to come out but If they are really keeping a secret about his identity then they are damn good at it”

“I see.”...Gabriel became more disturbed with a worrisome expression as he tried to anticipate what he just heard. “It’s either they don’t know about his identity too just like us or they are keeping it a secret but if it’s the latter then don’t you think this guy might be even stronger than Daniel?”

Sora looked forward as his expression became more serious.

“I have asked myself the same question before. The thing is Daniel always came out as Number one but we still knew there was one more member even if we can’t tell who he was.”

“...”

“It’s like the situation with God in the Christian religion. We believe he exists even if we have no proof for for his existence. Like right now we just know he’s here even if we can’t prove it.”

“If that’s the case then I think this last member is the most dangerous person in this tournament then..”  )

Gabriel was still recalling his conversation with Sora a few moments ago. He was still feeling disturbed about this last member of The Strongest Five.

The crowd of audience were still giving out their enthusiastic screams in the background as he was worrying.

[Alright calm down...Calm down everybody... it’s time for the rules of round two]

Nakamura sensei voice was heard again with the microphone. 

“Oh shit”...Sora flinched immediately as he heard Nakamura Sensei’s voice again. It wasn’t just him. The other students apart from the members of The Strongest Five had a worrisome body language too.

“What is it?” Gabriel curiously asked.

“Nakamura sensei is holding the mic again. He said something about the rules of round two which means he might change the rules again. And this time the conditions might not be as good as the last time in round one”

“Oh f*ck!”

Gabriel belatedly understood what Sora was saying. He immediately started experiencing the worrisome feeling others were currently having.

‘Please don’t change the rules and settings of the game. Please’

Sora closed his eyes like was praying and wishing for the tournament setting to be the same.

[ There will be a change in the rules and settings of the Representative tournament.]

“Oh shit!”

“He did it again”

The powered human students who were currently standing in the middle of the battle ground became disappointed with Nakamura sensei’s recent announcement.

“Man I really pity them. It’s like they are supposed to write math exam today and now they are finding out they’re writhing history” John said. He was also currently sitting with Machia and Tom among the audience.

“What the hell? Where did you come from?” Machia shifted slightly towards Tom in a frightened manner and screamed “ Where did you come from?”

“What are you talking about I have been sitting here since!”

“Where you? But you’ve not said anything since!”

“I was just trying really hard to keep up with the momentum of the fight!”

“Oh is that so.” 

Machia got back to his normal sitting position and folded his arms. He immediately gave John a creepy side glance while his head was facing front.

.

[We will no longer go with the double man team up for round two.]

The were series of mumblings expressing dissatisfaction among the powered humans students standing in the middle of the Battle ground.

[Hahaha I’m sure you all are already pissing your pants from this recent announcements. I can promise you it’s not gonna be that hard but at the same time I can also promise you round two is gonna be hell.]

“I really do hate it when Nakamura sensei gets like this. Just expect the hell part” Sora concluded in a disappointed manner.

“Well either way we’re gonna win. I’m not gonna let myself lose not even to The Strongest Five.”

“...”

“I have somebody I have to beat up and if I can’t beat the members of the Strongest Five I definitely can’t beat him. So I have to win!”

Sora smiled as he looked and noticed how determined Gabriel was.

“I’m not gonna lose either. Let’s go win this round!”

“Alright”

.

[Alright here’s how It’s gonna go down in this round two.]

The whole stadium became unusually calm, even the audience were also quiet. It turns out everybody where interested in the conditions of round two. There was a clear attentive audience listening as Nakamura sensei started speaking.

[You all are a total of fourteen fighters remaining and you’re all going to be divided into three groups. Each group will fight against each other.]

“...”

[Huh? Are you guys not going to rejoice this rounds also involves team works.]

“Umm sensei we were just waiting for the but in the sentence” Daniel smiled as he raised up his right hand like he was taking permission to speak.

[Hahaha...I can see you all are beginning to get used to my method]

Nakamura sensei was currently enjoying himself while he was stating the conditions of round two. He actually found this announcement part of the tournament to be quite amusing.

[Okay then but... like a chess you all are gonna choose your king on from your team. Your king is someone you all must protect. Let me specific your King is the life your team.]

The big screen immediately displayed the conditions for everyone to see.

[The conditions are.

 1. If a king is knocked out unconscious. That whole group is out of the tournament.

 2. If you are knocked out unconscious then you’re out of the tournament.

Objective- Locate the other groups and knock out their kings.

Time= 3 hours                           ]

[Alright we will be displaying the group you all belong to now.]

[  Group A = Daniel, Hideyo, Daisuke and Akio

   Group B = Kim, Arata, Danny and Tali

   Group C = Sora, Danny,Agatha,Yua,                                    Gabriel                                                                                                                   ]

[ I wish you all good luck. And also can you all move away from the center to ending of the battle ground ]

The whole powered students suddenly walked away to the ending of the battle ground and gathered. Shockingly the middle of the battle ground opened up.

There was another floor below the Stratton Dojo. No it was more like a mine. This tournament was really becoming a reminiscent of Demons Battle even if it was on a small scale.

The battle ground kept sliding open as Gabriel watched with a feeling of eagerness as he clenched his fist and thought ‘...finally ’
