-Aries Home-
I realized that Azzie has been staying here for a couple of days now. I guess they should at least take a break from the game from time to time. I decided to wake them up for breakfast.
They had breakfast with me and they still talk about the tournament.
"That Shella is really powerful, right? I think she will be a troublesome opponent for Zeth. I'm pretty sure both of us can't defeat her." Mari said. Yup, it's not that I don't trust their abilities but that mermaid girl is really in a different level than them. I don't even know if I can also defeat her. The control of her water mastery was just so damn good.
"I don't even think that we could even pass the fifth round because unfortunately, all other participants are really strong. I'm not going to lie but Scythus' party is really good too. I'm just wondering how they became so strong." Azzie asked. Of course, you will never know the answer because we did some secret training.
"Well, they have their own Monster souls so that boosted a lot of their abilities even though their ranks are not that high. Anyway, we also trained so hard, just do your best and I know we will do good later." That's the spirit, Sis.
"You guys worry too much. I watched your matches and you did well. I hope I can catch up to you guys soon." I cheered them up. It's morning for heaven's sake. Can we talk about anything else other than the game... jeez.
"Haha. You're right. Our main goal is to make one of our guild members to get the champion's spot so I guess we have a high chance with Zeth." Azzie... That's not what I meant. Jeez, you put too much trust on this Zeth guy. Do they really think that Zeth can really win the tournament with that Aurora girl, though?
After some chitchat, they decided to wash themselves up before going back to the game. Of course, I washed the dishes and cleaned up the house because I can see that spiders are really doing their best to decorate our house with their annoying webs. I always ask myself, who cleans spiderman's webs when he web slings? Ugh... cleaning makes me think of weird stuff.

After that, I decided to go back to the game. I know I'm late again and someone will scold me about it.
"We're done checking the shops around and also bought our breakfast in game. You've missed a lot while you're gone you know." Elou, will you let me pass this time?
"I know, I know. I just cleaned the house because I had to. Anyway, what's our plan for the day? The fifth round will start at ten pm as usual and that means we still have a lot of time to waste." I explained though I'm pretty sure they already know the reason why I am always late.
"We have to visit some repair shops for our equipment. We got some damage from previous fights and our armor needs a bit of polishing. Other participants have better equipment than us because they really prepared for this and spent a lot of gold coins." Elou's right. Because of our training, we haven't gotten lots of gold to buy the best gears. Well, we will soon if someone wins the game but they haven't announced how much the reward is.

"Hey Scy, you look serious. Do you have some troubles in mind?" Can girls really tell when you think too much? Or Akko is really just curious. Ugh... do I really think too much...
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something." Akko is really too kind.
"Do you also think of getting a girlfriend? Because I always think about that." Elou startled me... For some reason, Akko and Lili's eyes were sparkling. Are they interested in my love life?
"No, I don't and I don't have time for that. There are a lot more important things to do and think about than getting a girlfriend." And suddenly, their eyes stopped to sparkle. Jeez, what's wrong with you guys?
"Of course, the game is more important than a girl, right? Haha!" Hey Elou, I think you're pissing the girls off. Stop looking at me with those glaring eyes.
"Jeez stop asking me about these questions. Let's just go back to Emily's Inn as usual." Wew, Elou sometimes can't read the atmosphere.
-Emily's Inn-
We traveled back to Emily's Inn where there are not many people around. As usual, it's quiet and peaceful. Monsters don't usually visit the area because there are guards but this time there are no guards but our auras scare them.
We spent our day planning things about the tournament. We decided that we will do our best and also not to lose to each other. That's a tough choice for us but that's how it works. In our group there is no such thing as a leader, we fought really hard. Scythus' party is made because of me being infamous. Anyway, after all that unproductive day, it's almost time to start the fifth round of the tournament. We are buffed up with Emily's food. We also buy extra for later. I will take the number one spot and slap the hell out of Zeth though Aurora is the main problem here. I haven't figured it out yet how to counter her monster soul ability.
-Order of Light Arena-
We arrived at the stadium and as usual, the lesser the participants, the more people around! I think the crowds' number grew because people around the world really are excited about the fight! Jeez, this really makes me excited.
"WOOOOOH! GO ZETH! GO AURORA WIN AND PAY YOUR DEBT! GO SHELLA MAKE IT RAIN!" Random cheers can be heard throughout the stadium.
"GO LILI, HEAL MY BROKEN HEART! AKKO YOU'RE SO HOT! ELOU SHOT MY HEART AND NOW I'M INLOVE! WOOOOH!" That's nice, positive cheers will inspire my party to their best.
"SCYTHUS I WILL KILL MYSELF IF YOU WIN! YOU FART BLACK SMOKE! YOU DRESS LIKE A HOBO!" Ugh... it's painful than I imagined and as if like cotton candy comes out of you! My fashion statement doesn't need a review!
"Aheem aheem, magic speaker test, magic speaker test. Aheem aheem." That old geezer really should stop that habit.
"People around the world are all here to witness the top 16 players of the new life online. We can't tell who will win the match and who will receive the grand prize of the tournament. I know you all have your favorites and they maybe didn't make it but the top 16 will give us even more exciting fights, right? I'm also not sure if my best warrior, Zeth, will again take the first place but with Aurora around it will be a tough fight. You guys give your full support too because every cheer counts! Goodluck Order... I mean New Life Online participants!" Of course, you will cheer for your members. Anyway, it's the start. Who will participate in the first match?
"It's me again, your favorite New Life Online reporter and commentator, Aika! I will not waste time and tell you the first match!"
