"Hello there, fellow adventurersh. To enter the chity, you need to pay shome toll fee. It ish not that exhpenshive, jusht one gold coin per head ish enough." A familiar voice and way of talk caught my attention... It's Two-Teeth again...
(TWO-TEETH / WARRIOR RANK: B)
"You haven't changed two teeth... you still do dirty works, even the way you speak." I pointed out.
He's still funny. I looked back to see if Emily is scared but... she's also really trying hard to prevent herself from laughing. Even the others...
"Are you laughing at me?!" This is the first time he talked normally.
"Sorry, we are not laughing at you. Even if we like to give you gold coins, we can't because we are totally broke."
"Haha! You guysh jusht don't want to pay. Shorry but you can't passh." Though I don't think it's a problem at all because I can just kill them right here right now.
"Want me to take care of them Scy?" Elou suggested.
"No need to do that. We need to avoid making troubles around this area. We are not really welcome here remember." I answered.
"Hey Two teeth, just let us pass. We still have matches later in the tournament." I don't really want to waste too much time here.
"Haha! Are you lishtening to thish guy? He shaid he hash shtill matchesh? Dude, are you high?" I don't know how dumb he is but this is just too much to handle.
"Boss, I think they are Scythus' party, the one who defeated the Third God, even stronger than our Guild Leader." One of his lackeys said. Now, even his subordinate is even smarter than him.
After looking at me carefully...
"Oh... Aheemm... Shorry Mr. Shythus... Go on ahead, I apologizhe for the disturbanche." Finally, he realized. Damn two teeth wasting my time, though it's nice to see him harassing lowbies around here.
"Thanks, I thought I'm going to be having a warm up before my fight. Let's go guys." I think they don't remember us when we met in the cave near the wolves' area. We're really different from before anyways.
"Don't mention it. Mr. Shytus" For heaven's sake... it's Scythus.

We entered the city and went straight to the Stadium. As usual, the place is filled with crowds. They are already cheering and excited.
"This time, the second matches will begin! 64 fights will be held in this arena. They are the ones who won the first matches. Who will survive the second matches?! We will find out soon! Our first match is..." Aika started announcing the first match this round. This will not last that long.
We watched the fights that are going on... This time, the matches are not like earlier. Some of the fights are one-sided and some are tough fights but it didn't last that long.
We all managed to pass the second matches without any problems. Lili fought one of the hearth fire officers; Akko fought one of the Storm Seekers and Elou on one of the Feywilds. I fought one of the Dark Brotherhoods without any issues. The buffs from the food we ate earlier really boosted our stats. If only we really can have Emily as a party member.
"Yay, we all passed. Thanks to Emily's food, for some reason I'm stronger than usual." Akko's right. It did really help us.
*Nods* Lili seems to be liking the buffs as well.
"Yeah, that's a great buff I guess. Let's visit her again later for her food. It will be really good if we have her as one of our members. Anyway, let's continue to watch. We might get some info about their tactics and techniques." I suggested.
We continued watching the fights but as it ended, we didn't really learn something new from the first round. I hope we somehow win the third match like this but I'm sure it will not be as easy as the first two fights.
"The second matches ended. We will be continuing the tournament later at ten pm again. You guys rest and get prepared for later. The third matches will be a bit harder and more exciting. I'm pretty sure about it. It will start at exactly ten pm so guys, make sure to have a bowel movement check to make sure you can watch the whole fights without break. Have a good day people of New Life Online!" Aika announced the schedule of the next matches. That means if the third match will start at ten pm, we might get to fight three battles later. I hope not. That would be tiring as hell.
It's already past six am. We should go take our breakfast first before going back to the game.
"Hey guys, why don't we just log out for now? We really should have a game break sometime." I suggested. Too much gaming is really bad.
"Of course, and because we don't have plans for today, we might only just take our breakfast and enter the game as soon as we finished eating. We will wait for you later Scy." Elou replied. Hmmm, do they even have another plan other than playing all day?
"Sure, see you later guys,"
-Aries Home-
As soon as I woke up, I prepared our breakfast as usual. I woke the girls up like they are my own daughters. We started eating and to lighten up the mood, I asked some questions.
"Hey guys, how's the tournament?" Mari seems to be doing fine based on her aura today. She's pretty motivated, I can see.
"It's great, no problems so far with my matches. I'm not sure about my third match later though. All the participants are really strong." Mari's right, there's a lot of strong players.
"Mine's great too, I hope I get to fight with that fire girl from Scythus party. We need to settle our fight from last time." Azzie really wants to have a rematch with Akko. Why, the heck, are they having this cat fight... girls and their grudges.
"How about you bro?" I startled a bit... that surprised me.
"Ahmmm, I didn't pass the first match. It's too much for me I guess." I lied. There are only 64 people left in the tournament and if I told her that I passed she might look for me and that means trouble.
"Aw... That's too bad. We still have next month's competition, you can always join. I hope we could meet soon in the game." Woooh... that caught me off guard. If she knew that I am the one who caused their problems, I don't know what she will think of me...
"Oh, I am always trying to remember your name but for some reason, I can't seem to remember it. What was your name again bro?" Oh hell no...
