Chapter 37: Throw Down

Serafall sat down next to Sirzechs in the VIP viewers box. "So, the fated duel between the two tragic rivals is finally upon us," she said to him solemnly. "Only one of them can emerge as the victor, however, and prove to the world he has what it takes to be a champion!" She added passionately.

Sirzechs, meanwhile, was incredibly confused as to what she was saying before he turned to see her grinning face. She was just messing with him... "Can a day go by where you don't quote from some magical girl anime I've never heard before?" He sighed.

Serafall mock gasped. "Of course not! That's my whole identity, after all." She smiled proudly.

"Will Jake Gremory and Riser Phenix please leave their waiting rooms and proceed to the center of the arena to commence their duel," Grayfia's voice washed over the entire arena as spectating devils started to cheer at seeing the underworld's hottest maid in the flesh.

The stadium wasn't that large, considering this was just a one-on-one duel between two high-class devils. Even still, it was packed full to the brim with probably a few thousand spectators.

"I'm honestly surprised there are so many people here," Sirzechs commented. He didn't think the turnout would be quite so large for a duel between a half-devil and a member of the now detested Phenix clan. They were detested by most devils openly now since they were not the only source of miracle healing anymore. Devils all over the underworld had to kiss the Phenix clan's asses and pay exorbitant prices for their tears for over 1000 years. Now that was no longer the case, and many devils were openly voicing disdain for the Phenix clan due to its past actions.

"Oh, you've been buried in 'paperwork hell' for the past few days, sorry about that by the way, so you probably have missed out that my date with Jake may have been leaked out to the general public. Needless to say, the single male devils of the underworld are not happy that the amazing Levia-tan went on a date," Serafall said with a giggle, as she heard the crowd booing both fighters at the same time as they emerged.

Sirzechs listened in on the spectators with a laugh. It was rare that there was a duel or rating game where neither side had anyone cheering for them.

...

Jake was sitting in the waiting room with Luna. Waiting for the duel to start.

"So, Luna," Jake asked her, "have you foreseen my victory yet?"

"I'm sorry, Jake, but no, I haven't, and no, and that's not because I've seen you losing," she responded to his question. "It's that every time I've used my ability to see into your future, the next times become more difficult. It is now almost impossible to see your future because of how much I used it all those years ago on you during our time at Hogwarts. My future sight, unfortunately, just doesn't work on you anymore, Jake," Luna explained to him.

"I wish I'd known that beforehand. This whole time he had figured Luna had first seen him easily triumphing over Riser, and that's why he figured she didn't bother saying anything to him. Jake supposed, in the end, it didn't matter anyway because this was another fight that he absolutely couldn't afford to lose. Otherwise, there would be a terrible future in store for his sister.

"Will Jake Gremory and Riser Phenix please leave their waiting rooms and proceed to the center of the Arena to commence their duel," Jake heard the voice of Grayfia broadcast over the intercoms.

"Well, this is it, Luna. Wish me luck," Jake said as he gave her a wave and headed for the door.

"Good luck, Jake," she said enthusiastically. "I'm sorry I couldn't see anything, but I know you'll be fine. Just remember that this guy can take a real beating before he gives up. Your best shot is to either knock him unconscious or put him in so much pain that he surrenders."
