203 King/Queen of the Party I (1/2)
-Ebonywood Mansion, Great Hall-
”How did the small guy defeated five guys by himself? Will you please let us see the replay, Mr. Techy Guy?” Aika asked the guy that monitors the CCTV around the house.
”What on earth? He used a sword and he moved so fast that it's like I'm watching the in-game battle, with formal attire! Oh... wait, let's check his background maybe we'll know something.” She said and then checked her tablet...
”It says here that he's with the Moonglow Family, with Mr. Siegriel and Ms. Maisie. Leion Moonglow is the successor of the Moonglow Dojo. He's good with the secret martial arts of their family but unfortunately, the Master of the Dojo, which is his grandfather, has only one student and it's only Leion. It's not that people don't like their style of martial arts but people stopped learning martial arts after the release of new technologies and other inventions. But as you can see, Leion is really something. You don't want to mess with the Moonglow Family.” She explained. That's why he's a beast!
”Another three kills from Leion! On the other hand, Aurora joined the fight with the others in the other rooms and just defeated four! It seems she's also aiming for the secret prize!” And now, even Aurora joined the fight. I heard she also do some physical training...
”Two headshots from Elou this time! They're just now hiding from him!” And that archer is making a fuss too...
”There are also fights from the other rooms and no one's dead yet. It seems like, Ayako and her younger sister are having problems with the competition! They are being hunted down by Briam, Arvin, and others!” Going for the girls huh...
”Both girls don't seem to have any weapons with them so they are the targets of the others and it seems that the other members of the Other Side Guild form an alliance to win the match!” That's... really cheap of you guys...
*BOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!* What now?! I heard explosions nearby!
”What the heck happened?! Akko and Lili defeated all of them at once by throwing a paint bomb and pulverize them! Oh, I mean covered their opponents in paint blood!” I guess they can fight after all.
”Suddenly, Lili stabbed her sister in the heart!” Oh, Lili...
”That's what I call ”Sister Love”!” Oh, Aika...
”Jay, on the other hand, is using both the gloves weapon and the sword and killing nearby competitors! We heard he practice some grappling martial arts so he's not only good with swords but close combat too!” I should not get hasty now, they can decrease the competitors while I wait for the right time.
”I can guarantee you, folks, that this is live and people are watching! So do your best and kick the hell out of your own guildmates and opposing guild!” That's really good advice when kids are watching...
For a couple of minutes, the competition is getting quieter. It seems that only those who are capable are left.
”This is the list of dead people. And there are only a few people left from both guilds. It seems like the match will end faster this time. The only participants left are Aurora, Lili, Jay, Elou, Leion, and two hidden others.” So Zia and Elle didn't participate huh. I guess Zia can't really participate and Elle is still a kid so it's a no no...
”This time, Elou and Leion finally met! Elou tried to finish Leion off with a sneak shot but it failed after Leion deflected it! Kudos for that block!” A martial arts kid against us huh... I don't think I have a chance really...
”Elou tried shooting Leion but Leion was able to deflect and dodge all of them! If this is happening in-game, I'm pretty sure that arrows are more powerful and faster! Leion is getting near him! This is not looking good for Elou!” She expressed her excitement. Their fight isn't far from here. I can feel their presence. I have to get there and at least do something...
”Elou's shots were useless against Leion! But Elou is on the second floor. Can Leion reach him in time before Elou really can land a hit against him?!”
I'm getting near. I can sense their movements. I have the daggers on me, I guess this is enough.
”Leion jumped straight towards Elou and it's so fast! Is it just me or is he defying gravity?!” Is this some kind of Kung Fu or something?! Because this is really unrealistic! (This is a fantasy light novel for a reason XD)
I reacted in time and threw two daggers targeting both of their heads at the same time. I'm going to hit two birds with one stone with this, I hope.
*SWOOOOOSH! SWOOOOOOSH!* Take that!
*CLANG*! What?! Leion deflected it with his sword!
Elou shot him to the heart but he blocked it with his left arm! This little guy won't like to lose at all!
Elou managed to evade my dagger too! Did he saw me attack him or did he just evaded it with his instincts!
*SWOOOOOOSH!* What the?! Elou tried to shoot me but fortunately, I was able to hide behind the wall! That was close and Elou doesn't want to lose too. This is a fight between a martial artist and a world-renowned archer...
”Wow! That was a superb show of evasion skills! We even saw Chara intervene but she failed to land the finishing blow! I'm still wondering if Chara really is blind or not for doing something unexpected moves!” Of course, I'm blind...
