COLISEUM

Chapter 10: Faim 🆚️ Herring

Stella looked for the owner of the lipstick. The only suspects that she could see were as followed: Hwa Hae Ji, June Lily, Alexandra, Annabell, Phixa, Sora, and Violet. Shadow didn't count since dinosaurs don't use lipstick, unless she used an atom morphing device to shapeshift and Stella wasn't aware of. There was one way that she could think of to bring out the topic without raising suspition. Stella took out her phone to open a webpage of a make-up catalogue. NOVA, Stella's favorite cosmetic brand. Now for the interrogation.

Melon and Blade ate at a table together, the blonde goddess dipped the nacho chip on the guacamole while her boyfriend took a bite of a meaty taco. Felix had already disposed of the plastic cutlery to the trash before he went looking for a place to spectate, he took a wrong turn. The hunter had found an elf, strong built, cobalt blue eyes, and lots of mana. Ryo smiled as he found of what he assumed to be a new competitor.

"Are you one of the competitors?" Ryo inquired, Felix noticed that the pommel of Ryo's sword protruding from his shoulder.

"Well I sure am." Felix took out his musket. "I'm waiting for the Tryouts. My fingers are itching to shoot." Felix gave a devious smirk.

Scale had tried to comfort Annabell from her defeat. "Thanks for the support, you guys." Annabell said.

"No problem, what are friends for?" Faim replied.

"Who cares what baldy said? You did great out there." Herring encouraged her.

"At least you gave it your all, that's what matters." Scale gave her a smile his fangs peeking out.

"Is that a rifle?" Ryo asked, looking at Felix's weapon. The hunter took the firearm from its holster and cocked it.

"Wrong, it's a musket. I reload this baby using my mana, I transmit a small fraction of my mana to the caskets that are stored inside of it, I can change my mana to release a certain amount of damage depending on the target." Felix explained. "Observe." Felix pointed near the opening when Mirror entered into the room when Felix shot the mana bullet. It hit Mirror's bicep before he unknowingly deflected the mana, the casket fell to the ground but the mana ricocheted to hit Scale's tail.

"Ow!" Scale winced from the pain as he felt a sting on his tail before he grabbed it to check.

"You ok?" Annabell asked, before the Reptilian nodded.

"Wow." Ryo raised his eyebrows. "You really need to work on that."

"That was just a demonstration." Felix put his musket back in his holster. "You haven't seen anything yet."

"Everyone place your bets for the match against the fisherman, Herring Ja! And the Flaven, Faim!" Ratu announced where he was standing, which was not far from the other contestants.

"What are you doing, ya little runt?" Ruben II interrogated him, teeth clenched.
