You know there is a saying back on Earth that I heard once. That saying was: “What kind of dog shit luck does a person have to have to be so lucky.” While crude, its aning is that one must be very lucky to step in dog poo. And well, the idiot on my stage for my second battle must have just that much luck. Not only did this idiot actually make it into the second round of the tournant, but he also t for a second ti. And that person is none other than the quack hero with idiot disease so far gone that he needs to be put six feet under.
I an, I especially rember ejecting him the hardest out of the free for all in the first round. So why is he once again standing in front of ranting on about how he was going to beco a grand hero after beating . He even called a demon lord! Is this revenge for making him pay back!? “And so Demon Lord, we will now settle this once and for all!”
“Ummm…. Mr. Hero, a word please….” I quickly cut him off by raising my hand in front of .
“Huh? What? Please go ahead.” Why is he suddenly all polite? HE just called a demon lord and was now being polite these mood swings…
“First things first, how did you even get here? I could have sworn I ejected you out of the battle stage in the first round.” I an, I did, right? Or is this so kind of like… novel or ga thing where the hero has all kinds of plot armor, so he will always make a coback no matter how underhanded it is.
“Huh? Well, I landed on another stage and kicked everyone off, so they gave a pass.” Was this tournant really not a place where rules mattered? Well, I guess after I knocked out two other contestants and got away with it, I can see them not caring even if he was from another battle stage. But how did I not notice him before? I could have sworn I watched all the battle stages.-.
“I see… So if you land on another stage this ti and beat them, you will once again pass, I guess….” I tapped my chin for a second before coming up with a plan. Since using catapult doesn’t work, I can just take the stage out from under his feet.
“Next match, begin!” The announcer suddenly shouted. I looked at Mr. Hero Boy and gave him my best smile as my eyes lit up, and with a slight shake, the stage shrank towards .
“Wait! Huh!?” Charles stared at in disbelief as he fell on his but on the freshly revealed ground. He did not understand what had just happened. He looked up at the announcer in hopes this was against the rules but sadly….
“Battle stage seven hundred seventy seven, contestant number one thousand seventy two, Faith, winner!” The announcer yelled out. I watched as Charles, the wonderful hero’s face paled as he went from looking at the announcer to .
“I smiled brightly at him as I bent over with my hands behind my back and said: “Don’t forget my money. All twenty billion of it.”
“Wait!? Twenty billion!?” Charles yelled out. Sweat began to form on his forehead. He looked left then right, and just before he thought he could get away, I waved my hand and made him float in the air.
“You are not trying to run out on your debt, right?” I asked. I guess now he could really call a demon lord or demon queen, or whatever.
“I… I can’t pay that! I only have a few copper to my na. This tournant was supposed to let live for a while!” Charles cried out. Tears began rolling down his cheeks. Now I felt slightly bad like I was bullying so kid. I reached into my pocket, digging around like I was getting sothing, before pulling my hand out and flicking a gold coin at him.
“Make this last for a while.” I said before letting him down. “Just rember you own .”
“Yes, thank you! You are such a kind demon lord!” Charles yelled out. My eye twitched, and the next thing I heard was a scream as soone flew through the air. “He is such an Idiot!”
I returned the stage to its normal size before raising it into the air. The announcer looked at and gave a polite nod which I returned in kind. Luckily today’s battles were not dragging on as much. Sei, Runa, Gesel, and Sir Derek all finished their matches not long after . So did the rabbit girl and large fan girl. The tailed cloaked figure seed to be searching for the right ti to knock their opponent out.
As I sat there watching the matches, I noticed I could not tell which one of these people was supposed to be after my life. Sir Derek did warn that I was being targeted. I just did not know by who. This was why I was studying all the matches. Not only to pass the ti but to see if any of these people would be the ones to try to assassinate .
While it may seem like I am ssing around, I am still thinking about the things to co. I am watching everyone closely to see who might be suspicious, but the only one I found strange so far was the small cloaked figure with a tail. The way they are fighting is different from everyone else. I do not see the reason to be fully hiding all your abilities.
But then again, I could be completely wrong, and this is just how the small figured fights in the first place. But either way, they are currently on my top list of people to look out for. Next up would be fan girl and hamr girl. They may be showing off quite a bit, but they are still both fairly strong. I don’t think the nobles with proper information would send weak people after .
I an, the count would not send so low level goons to try to fight , not after I thrashed his own guards inside his own house. And if I am wrong and he really did send so low level goons, then he is just a pure idiot.
Even though I say all of this, I still wish to have a proper fight. Yes, I could have fought against the hero boy, but I really want nothing to do with him. He is quite annoying. Just sothing about him that gets on my nerves.
Now that the bracket is getting smaller, I should be able to fight Gesel and the rest soon. But this has reminded that I should really find so ti to level more. I have been so busy with so much since arriving in the capital that I haven’t even had the ti to level up any. I also need to find more evolution stones as well. However, it does make kind of nervous. I still worry about my next evolution turning into so king six headed freak.
While I love my dragon form, I still can’t use it at all. When I am alone in the bath, I will sotis transform my hands to make sure I still have the ability to. One day I want to fly through the sky, soaring around and looking at things after everyone I know passes away. While this may seem like a strange dream for the future. It is sothing that might help cope with the sands of ti. As I am almost thirteen now, I still have a long ways to go. My mother, my father. My brother and his family. My friends. All of them will one day leave this world while I will still be walking around watching as the sands of ti continue to fall. But there is one thing I do know. For now…. I will make the most of my life and protect those I wish to protect. I will live my life now without regrets. What will happen in the years to co, I do not know, nor do I wish to know, not after the gloomy scenes from the fortune teller.
My train of thought was suddenly broken when I heard the announcer yell out: “Prepare for the next and final battle for today!”
I stood up and dusted the dirt off before making the stage fall to the ground. As I did, a figure suddenly appeared in front of and stood there with a smug grin on her face. “We et again! Today is the day you shall face your doom!”
“Errm…. Runa, are you okay?” I asked with a worried expression. I checked her forehead to see if it was hot or not. I even pulled on her pointy ears, which caused her to blush and quickly back away.
“Wha-What are you doing!” Runa asked while covering her ears.
“I was checking to see if you were the real Runa and not so imposter,” I answered with a smile.
“What imposter!? You’re the imposter!”
