As i enter the waiting area i see the official man waiting in one of the corners.Is he here because i killed my last opponent.I walk to a near empty seat,and seat down.
"Excuse me"
"Yes"
"Kaito you have been invited to the tournament after party.And you can use this stone to leave whenever you want."
He passes me a golden envelope with the king's crest on it,And a teleportation stone. After that he left.Before i could ask any questions.I open up the envelope,Inside is a single piece of paper folded up and a small crystal.
I take out the piece of paper and read it over.
~Dear Mr Kaito you have been invited to the tournaments after party as a contender.The party will be held at 9pm formal attire has already been sent to your place of living as you got this letter.You are allowed to bring one guest,but no farmiliars are allowed.To attend the party simply sqeeze the crytal at the time of the party with your plus one near by.~
So i've been invited to a fancy party with a bunch of people i don't know.I'm not going to that even if you payed me.
I use the teleportation stone and return to my dorm.Once i get back i enter mediation because i have nothing else to do.
"Hey you going to get up or what we're going to be late at this rate"
I open my eyes to see Luke dressed in a red suit with black tie it compliments his red hair and features.
"What are you talking about Luke"
"I'm talking about the party tonight if we don't hurry we're going to be late"
"You read the envelope i got"
"Yes. So hurry up and get changed so we can go"
"I'm not going to the party"
"What.Why not?"
"Because i hate loud music and large crowds and a party has both of those"
"Please, Please if you don't go i can't go and meet tons of cute females"
"No i said i wasn't going and i'm not going"
"Please Please i'm begging you...."
He continued to beg me to take him to the after a party, at one stage he even got down on his knees and begged.
"Fine i will go,but the second i get bored we leave"
"Of course whatever you say"
"Now do you know where my cloths are for the party"
"There in the bathroom i already set them out for you"
"Thanks"
I walk into the bathroom.First thing i notice is the black suit with a blood red tie.I place the suit on,i decide to go for a black t-shirt underneath the suit.Once i'm finished getting dress i take a look in the mirror i look good.
"Nice.Now we can go."
He passes me the teleport stone,and moves in close for the teleport.I flow some mana into the stone.
Next thing i know we are out standing inside a long hallway just outside two gaint doors made from gold and marble.Standing along the walls are huaman guards with long spears.
A man dressed like a butler walks towards us.
"Are one of you invited to the event happening tonight."
"Yes i am"
"Name"
"Kaito"
He pulls a guest list out of nowhere,he looks threw it until he finds my name.
"Ah yes Mr Kaito a delight to see you,and i am guessing the man standing next to you is your invited guest?"
"Yes he is"
"Excellent then please follow me"
He leads us to the gaint golden doors.He opens the doors for us.Past the doors is a ballroom.There are many people inside all wearing nice suits and expensive dresses.
Luke see's something and runs off.Probably saw some food or a female. I take a seat at one of the tables that are placed around the room.And begin to look around.
I see someone i know across the room.Sylvia she is wearing a stunning long light blue dress that makes her look even better.She seems to be surrounded by guys and they are all trying to flirt with her ,her face reads help me.
I guess she can't do anything because she herself is a noble meaning she probably can't offend other nobles.I should help her since we're friends.I get up from my seat and walk over to Sylvia.
"Hello Sylvia. You seem to be busy shame i was going to ask you to dance"
"Really well as it happens i just got free so let's dance"
The males surrounding her split and let her pass.She grabs a hold of my hand and we leave the males behind.
"Thanks Kaito i really couldn't handle all those guys"
"No problem so i will be going now"
"What you said we were going to dance"
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
"That was just a lie to get you away from those guys"
"If you don't dance with me it will make them suspicious"
"I would love to but i don't know how to"
"Don't worry i will show you"
Before i could argue anymore she was already leading me to the dance floor.We stood on the dance floor.She took hold of my hands.She placed one of my hands onto her hip and held the other one. I will admit it at this moment i was really nervous for one thing never danced in my life, second i am really close to a beautiful girl, third i am dancing with a beautiful girl for the first time in front of a room full of people.The stress alone is going to kill me.
Sylvia leans her face in close to mine.
"Relax and let me take the lead ok"
The music start and we begin the dance. Sylvia leads me in the dance i just try not to step onto her toes.It seems that many people like our dancing i can tell by all the stares we are getting.The music speeds up and we begin to move faster,soon we are dancing around the entire dance floor all by ourselves.
Once we finish we bow to each other and walk off the dance floor.A round of claps and cheers for us feels the room.
"You said you couldn't dance"
"What i just did was not dancing it was me not stepping on your feet"
"True but you were quite good at that"
"Thanks"
"So i've been wondering why did you come here? Don't get me wrong you have every right it's just this doesn't seem like your kind of place"
"A friend dragged me here"
"So where is your friend now"
"He is either flirting with some female or eating way too much"
She starts laughing.
"Your friend sounds like quite the character"
"He is,but i have a lot of characters in my life sometimes too many to handle"
"Really because a life full of adventure and glory sounds nice to me"
"So why don't you just go out there and live it"
"Because i have responsibilities in my family,but some day i will have the freedom that i wish for all i need to gain it is win this tournament"
"Well sorry to disappoint but i will be the one to win the tournament"
"Oh really because i remember the last fight we had was a draw"
"I am going to change that at the tournament"
"See you there"
We continue to talk for a while about various things.The music soundly stops and a spotlight shines onto the dance floor.A man with a well groomed brown beard and a golden pendant strapped across his fancy shining outfit,in his hand he held a golden goblet of some kind of wine.Someone i recognize walks right beside him,Jacob darkwood.
"Hello nobles and studets i am as you all know King Gruff.Beside me is high crown prince Jacob Darkwood.And we would like to welcome you all to the the real fights of the [Grand combat tournament] from today onwards all you fights will be held in the captal of this glourious continents where the high king and all the kings will watch you fight it out against the other school fighters.So for all of tonight you will party and tommorow all the tournament information will be given to you.
The king raised his goblet.
"To the high king"
After the king was finished he walked off the dance floor and back into where ever he came from.Jacob on the other hand walked in the opposite direction towards the front doors, the butler standing beside it opened and he walked out.
"Do you know the crown prince"
"Not really.Why do you ask"
"I ask because you were staring at him"
"I was"
"Yes with a very angry look"
"Thanks i didn't even realize"
We contniue to talk about alot of things, espicially all the places that Sylvia want's to see once she has left school.I found it really interesting and woudn't mind seeing some of the plces she mentioned.It was getting late and many of the other guests had already left.
"Well me and Susan have to leave it fun hanging out with you we should do it more"
"Alright i'll see you at the capital"
"See you there"
She left thorugh the golden doors with that green haired girl named Susan.Now i have to look for Luke.It didn't take me long to find him,passed out under a table.As i was carrying him home i realized is face was full of lipstick marks all diffrent coloued ones.Well at least he had a good time.
