After Kisuke left, Akeno, Irina, Serafall and Artemis were still dumbfounded. But that was only the start because dusa suddenly said, "No wonder Kuroka-san refuses to leave the three of them alone whenever they train with Yoruichi-san and Master. And each ti, she's always on edge, flinching at every mont. I thought that she was just very concerned, but I didn't really think that their training was more than abnormal."
With the others still not being able to say anything, Sona closed her eyes while holding her chin to reminisce, "So getting my neck snapped to a weird direction is too much, after all?"
The newcors shuddered.
"So is my throat being slashed open and my guts spilling out?", asked Aika.
Cold sweat started pouring out of them.
"And my limbs flying away?", wondered Koneko.
With that, sothing snapped inside Serafall's head and she launched herself towards the direction where Kisuke left, "Ki-tan you bastard! What did you do to these girls!!!"
While Serafall was making a ss with freezing everything around Kisuke and the latter trying his best to defend and explain himself, Artemis faced Hestia with an unbelieving face, "H-Hestia… Have you tried stopping them?"
Hestia, this ti, was very nervous as she answered, "Well… I thought that they were just very strict and spartan. Kisuke also assured that no one would actually die… So I just accepted it. I never thought it was that bad."
Artemis didn't know what to do at that point and thought with so fear, 'What sort of common sense did these people cultivate in this place?'
Conversely, Akeno and Irina were still speechless. They thought that a broken bone every few minutes was already too much. They didn't think their peers would be dancing with death multiple tis a minute while training.
However, one thing was for sure. Their 'hard work' was still not on par with their 'hard work'… by far. And on another note, they didn't know if they could even catch up nor progress at the sa pace. The way they do things was too inhumane for them, after all.

Three days had passed and the day of the War Ga had co. Even with such one-sided conditions, the City of Orario was still bustling and full of energy, since a War Ga was still a War Ga. It doesn't happen very often. Tourists would pour in after hearing the news and it was the residents' chance to make so extra inco and join the festivities.
During these three days, the Apollo Familia used all of their manpower to prepare the old abandoned castle that served as a fortress in ancient tis against monsters, the Shre Castle. The Hestia Familia had already agreed with the War Ga's terms, so even if they escaped, it'd be their defeat and the Guild would be enforcing the agreed terms, putting a bounty on their heads once they disappeared.
Since it was technically a ruined castle, the Apollo Familia had to do ergency repairs to make it more secure. However, it beca easy for them because several Familias lended their children to Apollo, most notably, Soma's children.
Their Gods were all reluctant because they would share the sa penalty as Apollo, but seeing how many were giving their assistance, they felt confident, except for Soma who didn't know anything about his children's actions, as everything was decided by his captain, Zanis.
In total, there were more than 500 people currently occupying the castle, and among them, 21 Level 3s were present. An astounding force to such degree that it was impossible to lose given the current circumstances.
An hour before lunchti, a Ganesha Familia mber climbed on the temporary stage that was created in the middle of the plaza in front of the Tower of Babel, "Good morning, Orario~! The much anticipated day of the War Ga has finally co~! I, Ibri Achaa, will be your host for the big event. You may also know for my Alias, Fire Inferno Fla. It's a pleasure to be here folks!"
The announcer then invited another person up and introduced him, "And providing comntary for us today, Ganesha-sama~!"
As soon as he got up the stage, the tanned man wearing a red elephant mask posed and exclaid, "I'm Ganesha~!" Hence, the War Ga officially started.
On the thirtieth floor of the tower, various Deities were gathered to witness the ga. Except for Soma, all the players were gathered. Hestia and Artemis on one side and Apollo and his alliance on the other side.
"Now, this is really sothin', don't you think~?", asked Loki with an amused expression to the red-haired Goddess at her side.
"I'm really worried…" Hephaestus couldn't hide her concern for her friends.
Loki looked at her and figured sothing out, "Hmm… So you really don't know much about them, huh?"
Hephaestus frowned, "Is that why you're confident?"
Chuckling, Loki answered with a lowered voice for others not to hear, "Let's just say that even if they triple or quadruple their forces, it still wouldn't be enough to best that Gigolo. I'm just here to look forward to what faces these Deities would make when the results co out."
Hephaestus was still doubtful, but since Loki assured her, her worries decreased, 'But are they going to display those weapons? If they do, it's going to be a long headache for …'
Apollo approached Hestia with a condescending smile and said, "Hestia, it's fine to surrender, you know. At least that way, they won't get hurt. And I promise to take really good care of them~ Much better than what you're doing right now."
However, Hestia and Artemis just ignored him. Apollo didn't mind, though. He just shrugged his shoulders and left to find a good seat.
A few more minutes had passed after the host had announced the start of the War Ga, "Alright, let's get this started.", muttered Hers to himself before shouting, "Ouranos, permission to use our powers!"
From an unknown location, an old and magnanimous voice reverberated, "Granted."
With a snap of his fingers, a circular screen manifested in the middle of the room, showing the old Shre Castle where the defending side was positioned. What's strange about this circular screen was the fact that, no matter where you looked, or what angle of perspective you were in, it would always be facing the spectator. So even in this circular room, everyone could clearly see the image as if they were right in front of it.
And not just within the eting room, various Gods also used their powers to manifest this screen for everyone in the city to watch.
"At last, we're monts away from noon~! Let the War Ga begin~!" The host announced with the loud gong rang out.
Those who were in the Shre Castle also knew that it was about ti, so they got into their positions to anticipate the enemy Familias' attack.
After giving so background to the castle's origin and explaining the position of the defending side, Ibri asked, "Now then, we see that the Apollo Familia were ready but where's the Hestia Familia? Please show us their current position~!"
Hers, the one in control of all the manifested screens, heard the announcer's question and also beca curious about what they were up to. With another snap of his fingers, the scenery on all the screens changed, "…What?"
Similar to Hers, those who were watching right now could only gawk.
"T-t-they are eating their lunch!!!" Ibri exclaid while watching the group who were enjoying themselves at the very familiar establishnt, Hostess of Fertility.
