Reborn as a Snake! (2.) [COMPLETED]

(68). - Slowly Coming to an End.

       The tournament kept going on, with match after match being played out and the teams that participated were beginning to drop like flies as the tournament slowly approached the end. There were only two more matches left before the grand finale between the two of the "Most Powerful" teams in this tournament — aka teams which managed to pull through an defeat all of their opponents

The first match was between the team Dragon Strickers and team Tornado — two teams which had managed to pull through with their teamwork and coordination among themselves.

Then, the second match was between the team Snow Dancers and team Whispering Hands - which were two teams that managed to make it to this match before the finale through their sheer skill alone, not necessarily their teamwork.

It was the final stretch — but before the first of the two matches could begin, Lavia walked out in the middle of the stadium, holding a paper document in her hands. She cleared her throat, before taking a military like stance and looking at the crowd.

<Lavia>;
"The Spring Oval Blades tournament has almost come to an end, with the final match approaching us rapidly. There are only two matches left before the grand finale — and in these two matches, the remaining four teams will fight to determine which two teams will participate in the Grand Finale."

Lavia announced with a loud voice, as the crowd cheered on loudly — a collective roar of applause and cheering going across it.

Then, Lavia continued her speech, going on to talk about how all the matches that have been played out in the second half of the tournament have been the greatest ones of all time and how they dwarfed the matches played out in the previous years.

Up towards the top of the arena, on top of one of the tall pillars which surrounded it, Odale with Vien both stood, watching the arena below with curious stares.

In case you are curious — After Odale was taken away from the arena by Winston and Hermione to be looked after, as per the 'orders' of Faofa, he was bombarded with questions by the two, asking what he really was and if Faofa or 'Shin' was actually who he posed as. Odale didn't answer their questions, which made them both suspicious, however they still helped him out by healing him up with healing magic and sorcery.

After he was healed and had a little bit of rest, while Hermione and Winston weren't looking, he escaped from their presence — using his smoke control to turn his body into black smoke and reconstruct himself back up afterwards, outside of their vision.

After that, Odale had met up with Vien at the academy, right after Arabor had flown off with Faofa. From there, the two sticked together and decided to wait for Faofa — aka their master — to return to the academy, instead of running after Arabor to search for him.

They both were also the ones who began spreading the fake news of Shin being taken back to the Yiinao doctors after being discovered passed out inside the academy, due to prolonged exposure to Devils Dust.

And now, they both were back at the arena - watching the remaining matches and silently extending their full support to Faofas students aka the misfit composed teams, seeing as they were individuals Faofa truly cared about. Lavia finished her small speech in the arena, before stating that the tournament shall resume with the next match between Dragon Strikers and Tornado shortly, before running off the field.

Vien sighed as the red haired instructor ran off the field, with Odale turning his head slightly towards her, keeping his arms behind his back.

<Odale>;
"Something the matter Miss Vien?"

He asked.
Vien exhaled and leaned back, placing her arms behind herself.

<Vien>;
"No, it's nothing really... I'm simply bored. I know it was my idea to support Dear Masters students while he was away and recovering, but I had no clue that they wouldn't provide me nearly enough entertainment to keep me interested."
