Chapter 20: The Magical Girl Tries Air Tennis and The Dragon Girl Tries Bull(Minotaur) Fighting
“Uh Onwards to the next Sport!!This is a game which features a game left by a certain hero it’s called tennis but over the years the influence of magic has turned it into this!”
Practically it was just tennis, an easy game that resulted in a lot of matches but these were reduced to the mere number of 4. Now the improvement of it was that it was now done by staying afloat in the air all whilst catching the tennis ball and making it such that it fell to the ground. All projectile type magic was allowed so to make both the player from the opposite team fail to catch the tennis ball in time, there were switchings of 2 for each player who was knocked out.
“Ohhhhh I am going to try this!!”
“So am I!!”
Sae and Rin were excited to play this more fun version of tennis, since the two were in the club once before being transferred to the occult club by Athena-sensei. A smile on each of their faces the two had faces that would make any man have a burning desire to marry them.
“Good luck…..Mom”
“Thanks Snow!!”
“Fighto…….Papa!!”
“You got it Snow!!
“”UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!””
Those who were residents of this country stared in silence as they watched the pair run off to the next game. The game which was taking place in another area was simple bull fighting but in this case it was a bull that was slightly overpowered as it knocked out people out from the stage, it was a minotaur in disguise. This was the game Stolas chose to play.
This time we will win for sure, thought the king as he placed his strongest confidants in the game. The game of Air Tennis was rigged that those who were facing his men would fall in the first 2 matches and have their tennis equipment fail. It was simple plan, Basil and Pock would surely win for sure. The game began with a slow start as those two naive girls were up in the air it was going to be approximately 10 minutes when the magic equipment would fail. But it didn’t even after waiting for their gear to fail, it didn’t. The nightmare was just beginning.

Sae had enhanced the boots so they don’t fall down to the ground as she kept the ball afloat from falling down to the ground. She hit it once more as she made Rin be the one who served whilst she was the one who saved the ball from falling to the ground. Her two opponents were basically delinquent A and B there was no need to remember what they looked like, A served a hard one but due to her being the epitome of human physique she could see it and shot it back at him. To be exact the two were barely keeping up with Sae and Rin who kept on going faster.
“AHHHHHH MY ARMS!!”
A shouted but Rin didn’t care as she shot the ball back at him making the ball fall down to the ground. This began to happen several times with them gaining more and more points as they did so.
“FIRE LANCE!!”
“Ice Spear”
Sae and B shouted as they shot at each other with accuracy but unfortunately for B his attack was weaker than Sae’s who was smiling viciously like a tiger that has met its prey. Before he could chant another spell a mass of ice spears were coming to interrupt A who was in a battle of attrition with Rin who by the way was a beastkin who gained the Endless Stamina skill moments ago.
“I will stop you there!!”
“We already won even if you weren’t going to do anything”
“Ah”
He froze as the ball fell down to the ground, he was concentrating too much on Sae he totally forgot to save the ball from falling down to the ground.
“P-PLEASE HAVE MERCY!!”
“Sorry but the game has just started we still have 3 matches to go”
“Entertain us onii-sans”
The two were smiling dark smiles as the two were sweating a bunch as they saw them hitting the tennis ball with the racket.
Stolas registered to get in the ring with the bull that was rampaging about and kicking everyone out. She merely sat at the center of the ring. The minotaur was confident as it ran towards her thinking it send her flying but that wasn’t what happened. She dodged the kick and pulled out the red cloth she was handed with a thin smile etched on her emotionless face. The minotaur gets pissed off that she was taunting (the original goal of the game), it runs towards her with a purpose that make her laugh in her heart. A flurry of punches and kicks come her way but she keeps on dodging them with ease as the red cloth dances in the space of that as the people keep on shouting praises of what she was doing. The minotaur decides to impale her as she was too fast for him to punch or kick, with a charging action it sprints towards her with Stolas’ stomach as the target. It hits her suddenly and smiles but to its great surprise it feels no blood dripping down its head but instead an impact is felt as the horn that was supposed to impale her was being held in her hand as Stolas smiled at the minotaur.
“If I were you I would turn into a just a bull that is used for games and not cheating”
“?!”
She spoke with the most whispered voice it heard but it was quite loud and clear to the minotaur who was forced to regress to a one horned bull, she was the former general of the the Maou and had commanded monsters to evolve and regress if it was necessary and as such she won against it.
The king was sweating buckets at what was happening, the people were actually winning his rigged games but first it was these girls who foiled each and every one of his games. Should we say it was only going to get worse?
