‖Short Chapter 7‖

                           ‖The beginning of the duel fight competition‖

Y/n POV

'I see, so it starts at afternoon.' I read the rules about it from the paper. 'For the mages so, Mages vs Mages, I presume?' you fold the paper and put it to your satchel. 'The emperor and his daughter will also be there to watch one of the duels.'

'I swear to god if I loose... I'll call myself weak.' I clenched my fists. 'Its just a bet. and its only told myself anyway. There might be toxic people around this place too.'

You brought your key to your pocket. you grabbed your sword put it to you side waist. you decided to put your book in your invisible inventory.

Once you were done preparing stuffs, you finally went out of the room and closed it.

Its a bit crowded but the most crowded area is the duel fight competition. There's so many participants to join the competition. but not just them, but also people who wanted to watch the competition. 'Does this happen every year or once? Sometimes people has events every year..'

You stepped in line with the participants, while some random dude just leaned in your shoulder. you looked at the arm and looked up seeing the magician again. 'What the f**k? Am I a leaning stand to you?' you glared at the magician while the magician was minding his own business.

"Let go of me you mf." you forcefully pushed his arm away from your shoulder.

"Ow! Why so rude." He pouted while rubbing his "poor" arm.

"Stop acting cute dummy." I spat and looked in front not even a single glance to him.

"Oh?~ Is that a compliment I hear~?" He teased.

You pulled his hair and make him look at you. "You better stop or I will choke you to death Lucas." I threatened him.

He put his hands up to surrender. "Fine, fine. I wont do it again." He sweat dropped. "Sure, let's see about that." you dropped him to the ground and mind your own business.

He grunted, slowly stand up and remove the dust from his clothes. "Your feisty huh?" He questioned.

"I'm only gentle to Athanasia." you averted your eyes to the left. He raised his eyebrow, "You like her don't you?" you tensed up and looked at Lucas quickly. "Of course not." I shook my head with wide eyes, well maybe a little blush appeared?

A strange feeling came through him. "Oh..." He looked down but look up with a bright aura around him. "I definitely got that." He gave me a fake closed-eyed smile.

I gave him a weird look but shrugged it off. "Whatever..." I mumbled. The line moved and then you followed. When you reach to its counter...

"Hello, are you here to be a participant or do you want to be with the audience?" the man asked, guessing that he looks like 30 or somewhat 31?

"I'm here to be a participant for the competition." I answered his question. He nodded, "Please sign this little paper, we will be picking randomly with our hands through the box until the box is empty. the competition will end when its empty already. We do not allow people to fight when they almost make their opponent dead. when you do, your disqualified." the man explained.

'What a... long... explanation..' I sweat dropped but nodded. "Thank you for the extra rules." I said with a stoic expression. I signed the paper and gave it to the man. He took it and put it in the box, your just thinking that is WHERE the papers are placed.

"You may go now." he bring his arm up and pointed out at the entrance to where the participants will be waiting.

"Thank you again." I said and went inside. 'Is Lucas still here?' I asked myself and turned my head back, seeing him out of sight.

'Well, I don't really feel his presents here.' I turned my head back in front and sat on a random seat with this... weird... people? Some of them have a silver armor and has obelian empire logo. then some of the others have usual clothing or cheap armor on. When you scanned their faces... they look weird too..

'Ugh, I keep on saying weird every time, I judge a person around here.' I facepalmed myself.

'Wait... Lucas did appear beside me but... why didn't anyone talked about it..?' I wondered in thought. I was so confused right now but its not the time to think about it. The competition is about to begin.

'It might be easy... don't be too proud of yourself Y/n. It wont work.' I grinned and waited.

End of chapter. Sorry if its short! I just wanna make things quick as possible!

Have a nice day <3...
