Author's note: Yeah, another one. But don't get too happy now. I have to work on side chapters and my other novels, so the next chapter will take so ti.

I look at the fixture again, trying to figure out this strange arrangent. Except for the three Princesses and their fifteen opponents, all the other contestants are placed in normal one versus one matches.
"Wait a second, no one from the Elves or the Vampires is matched against the Princesses. It's either us humans or the Beastkins," I say with a frown.
"I don't know why they would do this. Maybe they will inform us before the tournant starts?" Evelyn says wonderingly.
"I guess so"
[I think that they just don't want to waste ti on the weaklings. It's better to remove all of them in one go, right? After all, humans and the low-level Beastkins are no match against those Elves, Vampires, and the high-level Beastkins.]
True, it does seem like they're trying to get rid of us early. There fuckers
[Well, what can you do? If you think about it, this isn't even unfair. You guys are just not powerful enough to compete against them.]
Damn If only I could get enough life points to buy that new unnad 01 skill, these guys wouldn't dare to underestimate .
[Well, true, you might be able to defeat Princess Ilyrana by forcefully activating Beast Awakening, but let give you an advice don't show that skill carelessly once you buy it. Save it as your hidden trump-card for ergency situation.]
Yeah, alright
But anyway, I am not going to go down that easily. I will give my best and maybe, I might even win!
[Pff-hahaha I-I an, that's the spirit Yay!]
Just fuck off
Evelyn and I climb up the stairs, entering the stands. Even though the place is not that crowded at the mont, the seats are filling up extrely fast. Fortunately, Layla and others have already saved us a couple of seats in the front.
"Have you guys seen the fixture!? What is happening!?"
As I settle down on my seat (between Layla and Maya), Riley imdiately bursts out about the match arrangents. Being one of the ten qualifiers, she seems quite angry about this as well.
"By the way, where is Kate? I cannot see her anywhere. Both of you are in the first match, right? I ask Riley after looking around for a while.
"Yeah, we're going against Princess Leena. Anyway, you shouldn't worry; she's with her parents. I t her before you guys ca," Riley reply.
"I see"
That's why she didn't co to see imdiately
Once the stadium gets filled up completely, Principal Winde finally enters the arena to address the crowd and to officially start the main Magical Tournant.
Unlike what I expected, he actually explains the reason behind this five-versus-one arrangent. According to him, this will give the human students (and so of the weaker Beastkins) a fair chance to climb up in the tournant.
But honestly, all of this is bullshit to . Even if all fifteen of us fight against a single princess, there's no guarantee that we could win.
" I would like to end my speech here. Now, without further ado, let's start the tournant! Participants in the first and the second match, please assemble in the waiting area near the stairs!" Principal Winde calls out.
"Wish luck," Riley mutters as she stands up, looking sowhat nervous.
We try to fire her up a little before sending her off towards the waiting area. Imdiately afterward, I turn around and start looking for Kate again. This ti, to my relief, I successfully spot her at a distance.
Woah what is that??
Kate's standing in front of an extrely large, gorilla-like man. His head and face are covered with a ton of black hair and his body looks similar to a buff wrestler who's way past his pri. Even from this far, he looks really scary.
Please God Don't tell that he's Kate's father
Kate moves forward and hugs the huge man before moving away towards the waiting area.
Oh, for fuck's sake!
Once all the participants get assembled, Principal Winde asks them to enter the arena while leaving for the stands himself. Riley, Kate, and the other three people walk out of the waiting room with a stiff smile on their faces. Leena also stands up from her seat and elegantly climbs down to the arena.
All of them take their respective positions before Principal Winde starts the count-down.
"Three Two One Start!"
Before her five opponents could even begin casting their spells, Leena raises her right hand and waves it gently. Suddenly, black miasma envelops around Kate and everyone else around her, and the next instant, they all collapse on the ground fainted.
The stadium quiets down as everyone looks at Leena in shock. Completely unperturbed by this, she turns around and starts walking back to her seat. A mont later, a team of dics rushes into the arena and takes away the unconscious bodies of Kate, Riley, and the other three on stretchers.
*Cough*
"Eh Winner of the first match is Princess Leena!" Principal Winde announces, looking a bit surprised as well.
"And yes, please let remind you that none of the participants on the losing side were hard in any way. Miss Naomi just inford that they will wake up soon enough."
The crowd collectively sigh in relief. Everyone, including , saw that strange black miasma and thought that sothing bad might've happened.
"So, this is how powerful the other races are It was truly amazing," Maya mutters in awe.
Everyone nods, silently agreeing with her. The match ended just way too fast. It was quite overwhelming for everyone.
After the shocking first match, a series of sowhat similar duels go on for almost an hour. For so reason, Vampires and Elves are matched against the low-level Beastkins. Even the high-level Beastkins keep eliminating the weaker contestants from their own race.
After a while, Zakira's turn cos and the exact sa thing happens in her match as well. She just waves her hand and all of her five opponents collapse a second later (though there's no black miasma this ti).
"What the heck? This is so boring" I complain loudly.
"Yes, the disparity in power is too great. Nothing exciting is happening," Evelyn agrees.
"Hmm It's like they are deliberately trying to eliminate all the weaker competitors," Layla says.
"I think so, too," I say, rembering what Pink said.
After so more duels, I finally get called to the waiting room. Looking a bit grim, all of my won wish luck before sending off. Clearly, that they don't want to see lose, but there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Oh, fuck it I am not going to just drop down without doing anything. I will try to land one spell, at least.
[Good luck!]
Walking down the stands, I enter the waiting area. The people in my group are already here, looking quite nervous and fidgety already.
As my group consists of all the top rankers in the qualifying tournant, Debbie (Leo's girlfriend) and Aria (Rebecca's sister) are here as well. But unlike their usual talkative selves, they're unbelievably quiet today.
"Alright, it's your turn now. Go to the arena."
Finally, Miss Laura (my class-teacher) enters the waiting room and leads us to the arena.
And once again, things start progressing in the sa pattern as before
We take our respective positions in the arena, Princess Ilyrana walks down from the stands with a faint smile on her face, and Principal Winde begins the count-down.
There's just one tiny difference this ti I have not given up like others. As my goal is to just land a single spell, I am already preparing for it.
And mind, it's not going to be just any spell, it's going to be the most powerful spell I can currently use. Black system taught this spell a while ago and I have yet to use it in an actual duel/match. It's not like I didn't want to use this spell, it's just that nearly all of my mana gets depleted once I perform it rendering unable to fight anymore.
You can say that this is the perfect opportunity to use it.
Here we go
"Three Two One Start!"
"Chaos-ball!" I shout out without wasting a second.
The next instant, a sphere of dark purple energy materializes between my hands and launches itself towards Princess Ilyrana.
Looking a bit impressed by my quick action, Princess Ilyrana gives a wide smile. But that's it, she doesn't seem remotely concerned about my attack. Lifting up her delicate hand leisurely, she casts a counter-spell. Imdiately, a powerful white light erupts a few ters in front of her, forming a thick semi-transparent barrier.
But well, her smile falters the mont my chaos-ball cos in contact with her barrier getting replaced by a horrified look instead.
Why? Because her barrier doesn't last even for a second against my chaos-ball, getting shattered imdiately.
Looking extrely flustered, Princess Ilyrana raises bother of her hands this ti, preparing to cast so more defensive spells but there's no need for it anymore.
*POP*
With a small popping noise, Naomi appears in front of Ilyrana and points her hand towards my chaos-ball. Suddenly, the space around the chaos-ball distorts and it vanishes into thin air.
"Jacob and his team are the winners of this match."
Naomi says in a low and cold voice but it still gets carried throughout the stadium. And for the first ti since I t the White Fox Goddess; there's fear in her eyes.
