Arc 2, Chapter 99 — Blind Favoritism
.
.
Amid the crackling atmosphere, the arena echoed with whispers of spectators.
The outco was clear: Rayna from Levon’s team lost, and Pickler from Florianna’s team won.
Florianna, who was often asleep, was awake with the corners of her lips stretched slightly.
A strange light flickered through Levon’s pupils, no one knowing what he was thinking of. Beside him, Artilla also observed a mont of silence. However, both had faith in Rayna.
"Brother Levon, she still has one more shot in 2 weeks."
"Yeah." Levon chuckled softly. He was never worried, only accessing Rayna’s battle deeper. "Lets not worry about her now... Leo’s up."
As if on cue, the announcer’s voice bood through the space, sending a ripple of excitent through the crowd.
One must note that the Announcer was not the Host.
Battle 6—Leo vs Yimu!
This was the last match before the break. And then, the top and final 5 battles will comnce.
Battle 6.
How interesting....
That spark, that bottomless-pit-feeling of thrill they had in their guts after Rayna’s battle erged once more.
To say he wasn’t looking forward to this fight would be a lie.
Levon slicked his lips, not even knowing he was leaning way forward than normal.
Card Boy vs Card Girl.
Who’s got the better card ability and techniques?
Levon had seen their abilities before. Yimu’s card ability was the King of Diamond.
That’s right! It was a single card, the King of Diamond.
Leo on the other hand, had the Queen of Spade.
They could both multiply these cards, and were both wickedly talented in battle and intelligence.
Levon has seen each of them demonstrate these qualities during night drills and even on the night when they did their grand escape from the mansion.
In the end, who’s card ability topples the others?
The crowd was intrigued by the duo, knowing that a good show would soon begin.
"I heard they both possess card abilities.... Who do you think will win?"
"Pfft, I’d have to see them in the flesh to take my pick."
"Aye, in the end, their fighting now, proving both deserve so accolades."
The masses spoke with interest, rubbing their chins thoughtfully.
At this mont, the arena was also getting fuller and fuller too.
Honestly, there has never been such a massive gathering for Bloodren 10s. Even Bloodren 9s, 8s, 7s, and 6s, have never seen such a crowd during their own competitions.
With such a crowded arena, Levon couldn’t help overhearing snippets of the conversations from others.
"Hey, is that an XDF Gaming model? I know it. There’s this one ga freak in our Bloodren 3 who gets the gaming gear sent over from ti to ti. And even he doesn’t get such a good ga box."
"Holy Shit! Why? What the hell is up with the Privileges given to these Bloodren 10s? This is crazy, right?"
"Tsk. These Bloodren’s don’t know how lucky they have it. Even that boy had to wait for ages to get any good things... Yet, they’re willing to give it all for re Bloodren 10s. You tell , is the Order crazy or sothing?"
.
.
Listening to the group, Levon was taken aback.
From what he gathered, after joining the Order and awakening their Shard abilities, only the top 7 in all Bloodren groups are specially given items monthly.
But Levon swore that that’s not he recalled it.
From the get go, he woke up with his favorite lollipop in his pocket. He didn’t need to wait to unleash his shard’s ability to get favors.
Hello? Right after the kidnap, even before the Examinations, he got his perks.
Even Shugo had his snacks, Leo his ga, Pickler her toothpick, Yimu her cards... and everyone else who the Order considered special.
In conclusion, they had all those things before proving themselves to anyone.
What’s more, even after getting his Sharded ability, over 18 of them had special privileges... Lilian, Rolo, Natalia, and so of Victorio’s n included.
But from what he gathered, only the top 7 in every batch gets perks.
"Brother Levon, sothing’s off." Artilla spoke out, pouting her lips in confusion.
Even Hendrix, Payne, Florianna, and several others felt it was wrong.
According to everyone, even the top people in each Bloodren group, don’t get so many perks all at once.
Take Cerine, the 2nd top Bloodren 9.
They say she only uses a special face mask on her face, one she could die for.
But apparently even with her potential, they only gave her 2 facial masks when after she awakened her sharded ability.
Even then, the supply given to her at that ti was quite small.
However, just look at the situation with the Current Bloodren 10s?
Recalling the jaw dropping stack of strawberry lollipops in his storage space, Levon now found it unsettling.
Why the blatant favoritism?
"There’s no such thing as a free society." Hendrix pushed his glasses thoughtfully. "Perhaps they expect sothing from us."
"Or... they’re favoring soone, masking it among the masses." Artilla’s voice bellowed, turning her attention to Victorio who was seated a good distance from them.
This guy gave her a bizarre feeling, one that made her feel he was too knowledgeable of everything around them.
The Order might have set their sights on Victorio. And so, to favor him unbiasedly, they decided to favor the group as a whole.
Doing this could mask their intentions, making it hard for many to understand their thoughts or the one they had their eyes on.
Artilla’s eyes drooped.
Of course, this was all her theories on the matter. Who is to say what is true and what is not?
As Artilla spoke, Levon and the others slowly turned their attention to Victorio.
"Well," Hendrix spoke coolly. "Whatever their reason may be, only ti will tell."
The higher ups are obviously far stronger than they, so being cautious with such people was utterly useless.
What’s more, they didn’t think these people intended to hurt them.
In translation: more perks ant they sore potential in them.
So whatever the reason might be, it’s best to just sit down and enjoy the ride... no?
