"(Annoyed) What's taking so long? It's been 2 hours already. I'm actually starting to regret sending Kari back. At least then I had something to do."(Rina)
"*Sigh* (Annoyed) Don't you have anything better to do than complain?"(Snow)
"Not really. I mean I was so bored during the trip that I decided to make traps and poisons on the first, second, and third days that I ran out of things to do. I mean one of the first things I did was load Nifl up with daggers for her hidden blade function and the dispensing function. So, I really don't have anything else to do."(Rina)
"*Snap* So, that's what you were doing. I was wondering what you were up to that you kept moving around yet not trying to escape."(Hail)
"(Dead Pan) Yeah, I gave up struggling on the first day."(Rina)
They all then gave a look of realization.
"So that's why you were being surprisingly docile the whole trip."(Izz)
"*Glare* (Annoyed) Stop treating me like a kid! I'm older than all of you!"(Rina)
"We c-"(Snow)
[Assassin division please come forward. I repeat assassin division please come forward.](Assassin division overseer)
Just when Snow was about to say something my division was called.
"(Exasperated) Finally! Well see you guys later and good luck."(Rina)
"""Good luck."""
I then walked onto the stage with about 10 others whose levels ranged from 114- 160. The overseer was just over level 200.
*Sigh* And I was getting excited too.
"(Confused) Um, kid I don't think you should be here. Are you lost?"(Assassin division overseer)
"Is this the assassin division?"(Rina)
"(Confused) Yes, it is. Why?"(Assassin division overseer)
"Then this is the right place. Here."(Rina)
I then handed him my plaque.
"*Sigh* Whatever. Since you have a plaque, it means you qualify for the tournament. But do know that this place is no place for kids."(Assassin division overseer)
(Pissed) I so want to sock this guy in his face for looking down on me! *Exhale* Calm down. Hurting the judge. And don't think I can't hear you muttering you assholes! I will make sure you all get a nice healthy dose of poison.
"Alright, we've waited long enough. Let's go to the tournament area."(Assassin division overseer)
He then led us behind the stadium to an old mansion. We then entered and he then began to explain the rules.
"Alright, listen up! There are a few rules to follow. No killing your opponents. Poison is allowed so long as it's not enough to kill. You are not allowed to leave the mansion. You can go on the roof. Everything else is fair game. You can team up or stay by yourself that's your choice. You have 1 hour. Whoever is still around by the end of that time will advance.
Any questions?"(Assassin division overseer)
I then raised my hand.
"Yes?"(Assassin division overseer)
"What happens if there is only 1 person left?"(Rina)
"If there is only 1 person left, they win the entire division and get the prize. Is that is?"(Assassin division overseer)
*Nod*
"Any other questions?"(Assassin division overseer)
No one spoke up.
"Okay. Then your time starts... Now!"(Assassin division overseer)
Everyone but me then started rushing to other places.
"(Confused) Aren't you going?"(Assassin division overseer)
"Ah, don't worry about me. Just thinking about how to make this a challenge."(Rina)
He then rolled his eyes and walked away.
He probably thinks I'm overconfident when they really aren't that hard to beat. *Sigh* I guess I'll try some traps.
*fuwm*
I then shadow stepped to a little behind my first victim and set up a sleeping gas trap. I then stepped 2 meters away from the trap. My first victim appeared to be male 1.82 meters tall. Couldn't really tell his facial features due to the hood and half mask he wore. Granted he was the same. As I also had my hood up and a half mask on.
"Ahm!"(Rina)
He then jumped in surprise because he didn't detect me at all.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
"Ah, it's just the kid. Well, I 've got nothing against you but, I'm here to win!"(Victim 1)
He then lunged at me only to trigger my trap and fell on his face.
"H...ow?"(Victim 1)
Pff, ahahahaha! He was so confused! Hahahaha! Hmm, what next? I guess poison darts.
*fuwm*
I then did the same method for my last victim but with poison darts. Though there was a slight miss calculation and they ended up falling on her butt. Still hilarious. I then continued with my trap spree doing weirder and funnier things. Like the guy I who got hit in the face with a combination of aqeatil juice (which is similar to lemons just burns more) and a sleeping potion.
He was rolling around for a good minute before passing out. Or the women (Who I still question how she didn't see it coming.) got hit in the face with a pan and fainted. That one was just meant as a joke but, still somehow worked. Of the 10 or so others I took out all but 1. He was taken out just before I arrived there. I also made sure they'd be down for at least a few hours.
I then waited in the lobby for the remaining 5 or so minutes. The overseer then walked in and gave me confused look.
"Why are you still here?"(Assassin division overseer)
"*Stretch* I finished up and was waiting for this to end. By the way you're going to want to get a healer or 2. I kind of went on a rampage."(Rina)
"(Confused) What?"(Assassin division overseer)
"Check around. You'll find everyone either passed out or paralyzed."(Rina)
He then went and checked and came back with a look of utter disbelief on his face.
Pff, hahahahaha! The mix of utter disbelief, shock, and awe is amazing! Hahahaha!
Though I never let my thoughts show.
"So. Do I win?"(Rina)
"*Stunned* *Nod* You win the division. Just head back to the stadium till the other divisions finish. "(Assassin division overseer)
I then headed back to the stadium. When I arrived, I saw that Hail was fighting like 20 people, and Snow and Izz were already sitting in our original spots.
"What took you so long?"(Izz)
"Ah, that I had to wait for it to end I couldn't just beat everyone, and it ended."(Rina)
"That must have sucked. What kind of style was it?"(Snow)
"It was a free for all. We had one hour and whoever lasted would move on. What were your guys'?"(Rina)
"It was the same for me. But I just cast one wide-range spell and ended it."(Snow)
"Tch, lucky. What about you Izz?"(Rina)
"It was the same for me. Except I just started running laps around everyone and hit their pressure points one by one until everyone was down. It took me like 18 minutes to finish. Pff, the overseer's face was priceless. It was a mix of utter disbelief, shock, and awe."(Izz)
""Same!""
"Gah!"(Heavy warrior 1)
"Hm? Seems like Hail is just about done, too."(Izz)
"How long has she been fighting?"(Rina)
"Like 20 minutes or so. She began just before I arrived. Granted when it all started there was like 50-60 guys."(Snow)
"Is it just me or was this tournament kind of underwhelming?"(Rina)
"Yeah, even I was hoping for a little more than what was shown"(Snow)
*Nod*
"*Sigh* Well at least I had a little fun to- I mean pranking people."(Rina)
"(Curious) You mind sharing what you did while we wait?"(Snow)
"*Nod* Sure."(Rina)
----------------------------------------
(5 minutes later)
"And then she got hit in the face with a pan and fainted! Hahahaha!"(Rina)
"Pff, is she an idiot?"(Snow)
"That's what I said!"(Rina)
*Boom!*
"Ah, looks like Hail is done."(Rina)
I then looked over to the arena and saw Hail with one foot a big bulky guy's head and a lot of unconscious men all over the place. She then began talking to the overseer. I also enhanced my hearing to listen in.
"So, do I win?"(Hail)
"(Stupefied) Um-Um, uh."(Heavy warrior division overseer)
"(Annoyed) Do I win or not?"(Hail)
"(Scared) A-Ah, y-yes. You win."(Heavy warrior division overseer)
Damn, he seems genuinely scared of her. Well, I would too if I wasn't as strong as her.
"(Nervous smile) Please go sit in the stadium and wait for the other divisions to finish."(Heavy warrior division overseer)
"But they already are finished."(Hail)
She then pointed to us. And I gave a smile and waved.
"(Confused) Hu-Huh? Um, please go sit in the stadium while I figure out what's happening."(Heavy warrior division overseer)
*Nod*
He then left to somewhere and Hail came over to us.
"Yo, was it fun?"(Rina)
"Mmm, it was ok. There was a lot of boring small fries. But the big guy at the end was pretty fun to fight. He actually had a little power behind his blows."(Hail)
"*Sigh* So basically you were toying with him."(Snow)
"*Nod* Pretty much."(Hail)
"*Hand on forehead* If master saw that he would have beat the shit out of you."(Rina)
"*Smile* But, he's not so I'm fine.
----------------------------------------
(Meanwhile in a meeting room between overseers)
"(Panicked) What do we do!? At this rate the entire tournament will be ruined!"(Long-range division overseer)
"(Anxious) Calm down May. The tournament can still be saved so long as Cody comes back with good news."(Light warrior division overseer)
"*Sigh* Well, Markus we can't blame the players for playing the game."(Assassin division overseer)
"(Mad) Stop being so calm about this Alex! What will the higher-ups think if the tournament gets canceled after inviting so many royals!"(May)
"*Yawn* Well that's not my problem. The higher-ups chose the rules. They played by said rules and won fair and square.
Granted the assassin division guys got hit by some nasty poison and like 2 or 3 got some pretty bad wounds but, nothing that was against the rules."(Alex)
*Click*
Then Cody entered the room and May and Markus swarmed him.
""How did your division turn out?!""
He then jolted backward.
"First, personal space. Second, one woman took out everyone in 25 minutes."(Cody)
*Thump*x2
When they heard that both of them fell to their knees.
"Dammit! What are we going to do now!?"(May)
"The tournament is completely ruined!"(Markus)
"(Confused) What's up with them?"(Cody)
"Ah, those 2? Well can I ask what the woman who won looked like?"(Alex)
"(Confused) She was about 2 meters tall, had red eyes, and white hair."(Cody)
"*Nod* Did she perhaps ask what would happen if someone were to defeat everyone else before the hour mark?"(Alex)
"(Confused) How did you know?"(Cody)
"All of us had a similar experience. Well, mine was a child and not a full-grown adult."(Alex)
"So, then what do we do about the tournament?"(Cody)
"*Shrug* I don't know. Ask the higher-ups."(Alex)
"So, then what do we do about the winners?"(Cody)
"Just tell them to come back at like 10 am tomorrow."(Alex)
"*Sigh* I guess I'll go do that. You contact the higher-ups."(Cody)
*Nod*
He then left.
----------------------------------------
(10 minutes later)
"(Annoyed) What's taking them so longgg."(Rina)
"Not a clue."(Hail)
"M- Ah, it's the overseer that's scared of Hail!"(Rina)
He then walked up to us.
"So, what's going on?"(Rina)
"*Bow* (Scared) Please return tomorrow at 10 am."(Heavy warrior division overseer)
"*Sigh* Fine. Can you at least give us directions to an inn?"(Snow)
"*Sweat* Y-Yes. Um, if you head straight from the door, you'll find an inn called Elder Star inn. It cost 2 gold coins for a room with 2 beds but, it's pretty nice."(Heavy warrior division overseer)
"Thanks."(Snow)
We then left and booked 2 rooms there. It was a lot nicer than the last place but, we still kept getting disgusting stairs.
"So, what are you guys going to do?"(Snow)
"I'm going to be making some more poisons and traps. I don't want to walk around this city at all."(Rina)
"""Neither do I."""
"Well, I'm going to do some woodworking."(Hail)
"I plan to read a few books I got from the castle library."(Snow)
"*Shrug* Sleep, I guess."(Izz)
"Well then it's going to be the same pairs as last time."(Rina)
We then left for our separate rooms. I casted a cleaning spell just in case and put up a barrier and spent the rest of the day messing around with poisons and traps. While Izz slept.
