“Something's been bothering me, Ryoji...”

“Yeah, and what's that?” you ask. “Because a lot of stuff's been bothering me. The power of that Odysseus guy, the fact that we haven't seen Hermes yet, your entire history with The Conqueror that you never told us about...”

“Ryoji... there's something very odd about The Conqueror. Namely his physical form.”

You raise an eyebrow. “Right... I guess you Archdemon's could always perceive each-other in your non-physical forms... but the fact that we and all these other demons can actually see him means that he must have a host, right?”

“That's the thing,” Stranger explains. “As far as I can tell... he doesn't. He's just a suit of armor. Honestly, I'm very curious as to how he pulled that off...”

“Hmm... so you've never seen him in this form before?”

Stranger snorts. “What? You expected The Conqueror to show up and stab my children in person?”

“Oh... sorry...”

“Hey, Raiden!” Akemi yells. “You're up next! You know what that means!”

“Yes...” Raiden mutters, brooding as always. “It means I'll be able to test myself against the power of a demon, to be able to get a small measure of revenge against this disgusting world and all that it-”

“It means you get a good-luck hug!” Akemi exclaims with glee, as she mobs him with a strong hug.

“Gah!” Raiden yells. “Akemi, you can't just-”

“Besties can hug each-other all the time!” Akemi smiles, squeezing him tight. “Be careful, Raiden!”

“Akemi...” Raiden mutters in a sad tone, before placing his hand atop her head, ruffling her hair a little before breaking away.

“Don't screw up,” Akuro jokes as Raiden makes his way down the steps.

Raiden scoffs. “I'll try.”

Raiden steps out onto the battleground below, readying his pistols as the demon in question comes out.

“HIS OPPONENT... THE DECEPTIVE TIRESIAS!”

Out steps a demon with horns and a long tail, and a glowing hand that suggests he's some kind of magic user. “For you, Maya...” Raiden mutters, clutching the locket around his neck before readying himself for battle.

The demon Tiresias begins to throw a series of fireballs from it's hands at Raiden, who uses his speed and dexterity to avoid each one on the path towards getting up close and personal with the magic user.

"Wow, look at that determined look on Raiden's face..." Saki mutters. "He's usually a very serious guy, but he looks like he's in a complete trance. I think he hates demons more than any of us..."

Avoiding the last fireball, Raiden ends up close to the demon's face, pointing one of his pistols directly for the forehead. The demon reacts by grabbing Raiden by the wrist, but not in time to stop him unloading a full round into the demons face.

"Brutal, but effective," you comment.

The demon leaps back to safety, clutching it's face in pain. Soon, the screams of pain turn into chuckles. "Oh... that hurt... that hurt so much... Raiden."

Raiden pauses. "What? How do you know my name?"

Huh... when it touched his wrist, the demon must have been able to get information from him.

"Why wouldn't I know your name?" The demon asks through cupped hands. "I know everything about you, Raiden."

The tone of the demon's voice completely shift between the masculine to the sounds of a sweet young girl. From the gasp of Saki and the general shocked reaction of a few more of your classmates, you realise what might be going wrong.

"That voice..." Ken mutters. "That's..."

The hands pull away from the face, to reveal an innocent looking girl with red hair... Maya. Oh no...

"M-Maya?" Raiden lowers his gun, his eyes widened.

"Raiden?" Maya asks. "I don't understand... why am I here? We... we were on an excursion and... and..."

"No... this is just sickening..."

"Maya..." Raiden mutters, his eyes watering at the very sight of her. "I... I..."

Dammit Raiden, don't get distracted... it's just an illusion...

"Raiden..." Maya's voice cries out. "I... I'm scared..."

Raiden shakes his head, shutting his eyes closed. "No... no, this can't be real..."

Raiden raises his gun, pointing it at Maya.

"Raiden?" Maya asks, panicked. "W-why are you pointing that at me? Are you okay?"

"S-stop it..."

"Raiden, please..." Maya begs. "I just want to go home. Back to the academy, with the others... please, Raiden..."

With his free hand, Raiden clutches his locket. "N-no..."

"Raiden..." Maya mumbles, steadily walking towards him while he remains motionless. "I... love you."

Raiden pulls the trigger, launching the demon through the air with the sheer force and reverting it back to its true form. Still holding onto the locket, Raiden growls.

"Maya meant more to me than anyone could ever imagine, she was a kind, beautiful gentle soul, who was taken far too soon... everything I do is motivated by a drive to avenge her death..."

Raiden lets go of the locket, and begins to unload on Tiresias with both pistols. "But she never loved me. You're a fool to think you could recreate her image... and now you will suffer."

Raiden points his gun towards the knee of Tiresias and lets fire, hitting directly and bringing the demon down. Raiden pinpoints the other knee and takes the demon to a crawl.

"How dare you invoke her image!" Raiden screams. "Maya is dead! Nothing will ever bring her back... and you trying to trick me... is unforgivable. I'm going to make you suffer. I'm going to break you."

As Tiresias crawls along the ground, Raiden fires another bullet into the elbow joint, causing the demon to collapse.

Raiden approaches the demon, placing his boot atop it's back. "Now... beg for forgiveness."

"Raiden..." an all-too familiar voice cries out from Tiresias... oh no...

The head turns around, and look up at Raiden with sad, desperate eyes... Akemi.

"R-Raiden..." The false Akemi mutters. "W-what are you doing? I just want to be your friend..."

"A-Akemi..." Raiden pauses. Dammit, if the Maya wasn't enough to stop him... he's stopped dead in his tracks.

"Akemi..." Raiden cries, tears beginning to stream down his face. "I... I know it's an illusion, but... I can't..."

"RAAAAAAIDEN!" Akemi calls out below, forcing him to look up at the rafters. "Stop being silly! I'm right up here!"

"But... it has your face..." Raiden mutters.

"Yeah, but it doesn't like you very much!" Akemi calls out. "I mean... I don't think it does! It doesn't hug you! It might not even like ice-cream!"

Raiden remains silent, staring up at Akemi.

"That's not me!" Akemi calls out. "I'll always be here for you!"

Raiden continues to stare at Akemi. "Akemi, I..." he mutters, before mouthing the rest to himself... and pulling the trigger on Tiresias.

"YOUR WINNER... THE OTHERWORLDER!"

Without missing a beat, Raiden rushes up the steps in order to rejoin with the girl who just saved him. Without even thinking, he catches Akemi as she flings herself at him, squeezing her tight in a celebratory hug.

"You did it!" Akemi yells.

"No, you did it..." Raiden replies. Heh, are you going blind? Or did you just see Raiden cracking a smile?

"Oh..." a groggy Chihiro groans as she rises, finally regaining consciousness. "I appears I missed an entire battle."

"Oh, Chihiro!" Sayeka gasps, clutching onto Chihiro's hand.

Chihiro smiles. "Oh Sayeka, my dear! You were waiting and worrying by my side, I see!"

"Chihiro..." Sayeka mutters, before holding her friend close, holding Chihiro's head up to her chest.

Chihiro laughs. "Ah, such a bountiful and comfortable bosom!"

Makoto smiles and lets go of Chihiro's hand, before she notices he was holding it to begin with.

"Next up is Rei and Akira, huh?" Saki mutters. "Ryoji... I'm worried about Rei. With her powers back, she's gonna act more reckless and excitable again... which can really hurt her."

>Yeah, I'll talk to her before she heads out.

>Yeah, I'll talk to her before she heads out.

You make your way over to Rei and place a hand on her shoulder. "Hey... take it easy out there, okay?"

"Take it easy?" Rei chuckles. "Come on, you know that Akira's no slouch! I'll have to show her a real fight!"

You let out a sigh. "Rei... don't forget why we're here. If you hurt yourself before making it to Hermes, there's no point to any of this."

"Don't worry," Rei smirks. "It's me, Ryoji! I can always handle myself!"

"Let's hope..."

Rei and Akira step out onto the battleground and stand opposite each-other. As they do, Rei begins to stretch. "Oh wow, who'd have thought we'd get matched like this? It'll be like a classic sparring session!"

"We aren't sparring," Akira notes. "Rei, I'll come at you with everything I have."

"Ha, want to give me a real challenge?"

"No..." Akira mutters. "As your best friend, I can't allow you to keep going in this tournament."

"Huh?" Rei asks. "Oh come on! Not you two! Everyone's all so worried about me, but if anyone should be able to fight Hermes, it's me! I can keep up with him!"

"I don't know, Rei..." Akira mutters. "What if... what if when you go to battle with Hermes... he can somehow turn off your powers then and there? Then what? We... your safety is my number one concern."

"Don't baby me, Akira!" Rei yells. "You always do this! Stop trying to keep me all coddled up! I can fight Hermes! I want to fight Hermes! It's my responsibility to... to fix myself!"

Akira lets out a sigh. "Then there's no other option... let's fight."

Akira raises her fists, as the two best friends charge at each-other, coming to blows.

"Akira raises a good point..." Saki mutters. "What if Hermes can do something like that? What would that mean for Rei?"

>I don't think he has that power. Rei should be safe.

>We have to make sure Rei doesn't win this tourney.

"Well..." Saki notes. "Me and Rei are in separate blocks of the tournament. If worst comes to worst... I can take her down in the finals."

"I'm sure Rei would love that."

Rei speeds towards Akira, slashing at her armor, which Akira easily tanks. Rei's movements are so difficult to keep up with, she's just a simple blur of blue light, charging at Akira, bouncing back and forth with slashes... but to your surprise, Akira isn't taking any damage.

"Huh..." Saki notes. "Impressive."

"What is?" you ask.

"Akira is faster than we think," Saki explains. "She's re-positioning herself so that every one of Rei's blows are only bouncing off the armour. It takes only small movements so the armour isn't too restricting, but it takes incredible reaction times. More likely, Akira knows Rei's movements far too well."

Rei is stop in the middle of her barrage, as she is grabbed by the ankle by Akira who proceeds to spin her friend around and slam her hard into the ground. Akira tries to follow this up with a punch to the grounded Rei, but her speed is still too incredible, practically disappearing from sight in the time it takes for Akira's fist to come down. Akira is blindsided by a kick to the head from Rei, who proceeds to charge at Akira once again. Akira blocks this by pulling out her bayonet and deflecting Rei's sword attack.

"There's no point in you trying to fight back, you know!" Rei gloats. "You'll never be able to hit fast enough to hit me!"

"Don't be so sure," Akira mutters.

Rei raises an eyebrow. "What does that mean?"

Akira points her bayonet behind her, firing with the cannon in order to propel herself through the air at a surprising pace, catching Rei off guard as Akira spears into her with a high-speed tackle, taking the speedster to the ground.

Rei groans in pain as Akira grabs her by the shirt, pulling Rei up and punching her in the gut. "Rei, please... give up..." Akira mutters. "I don't want to hurt you. You're my best friend."

"I don't wanna hurt you either," Rei groans. "But just so you know... I know all your tricks too."

"Hm?" Akira asks in confusion, before eating a foot to the face, knocking her down on the ground, as Rei launches herself upward.

"Now for something new!" Rei yells, as she begins spinning in the air. "DRILL ATTACK!"

Rei spins with such incredible speed that she takes on the appearance of a whirling dervish coming down hard on Akira, cracking the entire torso of her armour.

Rei leaps back and poses in victory... before eating a fist to the back of the head as Akira rises back to her feet. "Still not giving up?" Rei asks.

"Never..." Akira mutters.

"Uh oh, this could get ugly..." Saki mutters.

>Don't worry, Rei can keep herself in check.
>Akira, give up before you hurt yourself!

>>1038758
>Don't worry, Rei can keep herself in check.

>Don't worry, Rei can keep herself in check.

"If you say so..." Saki mutters. "But I have my doubts. Rei doesn't have the best track record when it comes to keeping in control with her powers..."

"We need to be able to put our faith in her..." You reply.

Rei and Akira continue to do battle on the battleground below, but as the exchange blow, you begin to notice Akira's punches having just that much more force behind them, the two of them becoming more intense. No more words are shared between the two friends, instead they remain completely focused on battling each-other. Rei holds up her sword to block off a strong punch from Akira's gauntlet, which sends her flying back regardless. Rei collects herself as Akira comes charging towards her with her bayonet.

Using her speed, Rei manoeuvres herself underneath Akira and drives her sword up... through the crack in Akira's armour. The blade slides in through the cracks, and pierces directly into Akira's stomach. Rei's eyes widen immediately, as she realises what went wrong. She pulls the sword from her friend and catches Akira as she collapses down.

"A-Akira..." Rei mutters. "I... I didn't mean to..."

"YOUR WINNER... THE OTHERWORLDER REI!"

In a hurry, Rei rushes Akira to the spectator area in a flash, placing her directly in front of Hiro for some immediate healing. The entire group stares at Rei in shock, but no-one appears more shocked than Rei herself.

"Miss Arisato..." Isamu mutters in a saddened tone.

Before he can approach her, Rei runs from the group in shame, speeding off to some unknown location.

"Rei..." Akira groans, pulling herself up in pain. "It's o-okay..."

"Crap..." Risa from Class 1 mutters. "That's sad to see."

"Don't get too bummed out!" her friend Sae yells. "It's you and me next! You better keep your head in the game!"

"Oh, I'll keep my head in the game, alright!" Risa smirks. "I'm about to show you that when it comes to gunplay, it's all about quality over quantity!"

"What are you trying to say?!" Sae snaps. "You saying I'm not a good marksman!"

"Yep."

"I'll show you good when I kick your ass!" Sae yells.

>Kaz, control your club.

Kaz looks at you with a raised eyebrow. "Okay...?"

Kaz raises from his seat and turns to Sae and Risa. "Listen you two, don't get too carried away. It's a contest, but you're still friends. Don't go trying to fill each-other with lead. We just saw how badly getting carried away can turn out for people, okay?"

Risa lets out a sigh and nods. "Yeah, you're right. Come on, Sae. Let's keep this in the spirit of friendly competition, okay?"

Sae crosses her arms and scoffs. "Whatever. Let's get this over with."

The two girls make their way to the battleground and stand on opposite ends. Once the battle begins, they both immediately draw their guns.

Sae is the first to fire, clearly with an itchy trigger finger, as she proceeds to spray bullets everywhere in her path with tremendous fury. Risa dodges and weaves from the bullet, and using the time that Sae requires to reload, pointing her own guns towards Sae and firing. Her shots are perfectly on target, and hit the barrels of Sae's machine guns, causing them to explode in her face.

Sae falls back as Risa approaches, ready to gloat in her friends face, until she is tripped up by Sae, followed by a punch to the face. Risa falls to the ground and Sae mounts her leading to a grounded fist-fight, the two girls rolling around on the ground, each one gaining an upper hand at different moments... man, it was a bad time for them to both be wearing skirts.

"Seishiro, are you taking pictures?!" Saki gasps.

"No!" Seishiro scoffs, hiding the camera in his back pocket.

Eventually, Sae is the one who gains the upper hand, raining not one, but two strong fists down upon Risa.

"Wait!" Risa calls out. "I give up!"

Sae pulls back her fist. "What?!"

"THE WINNER... THE OTHERWORLDER SAE BY FORFEIT!"

"WHAT?!" an outraged Sae yells. "What the hell?!"

Risa smirks as she lays underneath Sae. "Didn't want to give you the satisfaction of actually beating on me."

Heh, an interesting tactic... not letting her opponent get the victory she wants.

"Are you kidding me?!" Sae snaps in anger. "We... we were just getting started! This isn't a real fight! I demand a climax! Give me my damn climax!"

"Seishiro, are you recording this?" Saki gasps again.

Risa casually walks to the spectator area, while Sae storms. "You conniving little bitch..."

"Huh, I guess I'm up already!" Nariko smiles. "Oh, it's been a while since I've properly fought! It's kinda exciting!"

>Good luck, Nariko. Make Class 2 look good.

"Thanks, Ryoji!" Nariko smiles. "I'll do my best!"

"Yeah, take care Nariko," Hiro smiles. "Try not to get hurt."

Nariko swoons. "Oh Hiro, you're so thoughtful! Do I get a good luck kiss?"

The oblivious Hiro pauses. "Well, you don't have a boyfriend, so you might have to ask Chihiro for one."

Nariko chuckles and shakes her head. "Okay, I guess I'll move on..."

Nariko and the Class 1 Tami make their way to the battleground. "So, what do you do, Tami?" Nariko asks. "Just curious!"

Tami winds up her bow in preparation for the fight. "Not much, just got some major survival instincts. I get most of my training from hunting."

Even from your raised position, you can see the nervous twitch on Nariko's face. "H-hunting? Oh... well, I can't say I'm a fan of that."

"What, you an animal lover or something?" Tami asks. "You know, they are just stupid creatures. It's not like the world's missing out on anything other than food!"

"Deep breathes, Nariko..." Sora mutters, hoping that Nariko will follow his advice.

Nariko takes a deep breath to calm herself, before smiling again. "Okay! Let's get going!"

Nariko readies her knives and charges directly at Tami, who tries to hold her back with a series of arrows. Nariko moves fast, and deflects each arrow shot with her daggers. Nariko gets close and swings down with one of her daggers, prompting Tami to pull out her own dagger to block. Tami slides under Nariko's leg and leaps to a safe distance, where she can fire another arrow upon Nariko. Nariko speeds out of the way, and moves fast enough to appear behind Tami, and kick her down into the ground in mid-air.

Tami collapses into the ground and stares upwards at Nariko. "You know, you're really good!" She laughs. "Everyone talks about Saki and Rei and Akio as being the big threats in Class 2, but I can see that there's some sleeper threats!"

"Oh, I'm flattered!" Nariko smiles. "You're really quite good yourself! Class 1 is lucky to have someone with your skill around!"

"Stop being cordial!" Sae yells down below. "This is a fight! Tami, rip her heart out!"

"Or... you could not do that?" Kiriko suggests.

Nariko and Tami continue to have a speedy back and forth, with Tami continuing to try to clear space for herself, while Nariko keeps closing that space in a matter of moments. Before long, you can see who's clearly dominating this fight.

"Tami doesn't stand a chance," Kiriko notes. "She's getting exhausted already, while Nariko's still got plenty of energy."

It's true, Nariko is clearly outlasting the Class 1 hunter. This Tami may have fought some of the wilderness most vicious and scary beasts... but Nariko actually tamed to the two most uncontrollable beasts you've ever seen.

Eventually, the tired Tami loses her step, and Nariko takes advantage, hitting her with a well placed kick that properly plants her into the ground.

"THE WINNER... THE OTHERWORLDER NARIKO!"

Nariko smiles as she helps Tami to her feet and shakes her hand, the two girls returning to the spectator area together.

"Huh, so that's who I'm facing next round?" Sae mutters.

>I hope she gives you the fight you want.

Sae crosses her arm. "She better! I wanna win this thing by actually getting to beat someone up!"

You shake your head. You think Sae might be in for a bit of a surprise considering Nariko... Sae is much more likely to be the one who gets beaten up. Especially if Sae angers her...

"I am next," Mayu states.

"Good luck," Kazuma smiles.

Mayu looks over to him. "Not necessary. I will see you in the second round, Kazuma."

"Well, she's confident," you note.

Mayu makes her way down to the battleground, awaiting her opponent.

"HER OPPONENT... THE DREADED ATUM!"

Out from the other side of the battleground steps a large demon, close to 8ft in height, carrying a scythe even larger than his body.

"Wow, he's pretty intimidating..." Kiriko mutters. "I hope Mayu will be okay."

Without a single word, Mayu draws her sword, her face as hard as stone. You've never seen someone so ready to fight.

Mayu rushes towards the demon with her blade drawn, and her massive foes readies his scythe and swings it with mighty strength towards her. Mayu simply dodges with basically no effort, moving much faster than the swing. Mayu remains in Atum's line of sight, forcing him to swing again on instinct. Mayu continues this habit, practically playing with the demon in order to wear it out incredibly quickly.

"Wow, she's really good..." Saki mentions. "I mean... really good. Is she the top of your class in combat?"

"Third, actually," Kazuma explains. "Myself and Roka Abe are ahead of her."

Saki stares at Kazuma then shakes her head. "I've seen the both of you fight. Trust me when I tell you... you're not ahead of Mayu."

Mayu does move with incredible speed, but you're astounded yet again when she finally wears out Atum. She wastes no time in going on the offensive, and that when you notice the incredible strength behind her swings. This Mayu holds absolutely none of her energy back.

"She's never fought quite like this before..." Kiriko notes. "Amazing..."

Mayu breaks through all of Atum's defenses, stabbing the demon cleanly in the chest. She pulls the blade out and readies a counter-attack, when Atum raises his hand. Soon, the earth beneath Mayu rises up, catching her off-guard as a massive skeletal hand is summoned from below her, hoping to crush her in it's grip.

The skeletal holds Mayu up, yet she does little to react to it. "This is bothersome," is all she manages to say, before the skeletal hand closes tight.

"Mayu!" Kiriko cries out in worry, but Kaz is quick to place a hand on her shoulder and point out the top of the now closed up skeletal fist. Standing atop the bony knuckles of the summoning is Mayu, having dodged the attack with incedible ease.

"What the... was she always this fast?!" Sae complains. "Is she just stepping it up for this tournament or something?"

"Mayu trains harder and more extensively than any of us," Anri notes. "I believe she has actually made incredible strides in becoming a better fighter in every aspect. She's certainly putting the rest of our class to shame."

Mayu leaps from the skeletal hand and comes down hard on Atum with a kick to the head from above. The gigantic demon staggers back, made delirious by the shot, as Mayu aims to finish off her opponent with a simple, well-placed strike.

As Atum is still trying to recover from the momentous kick to the back of the head, Mayu makes her move, dashing behind the huge demon, before readying her sword and launching herself forward, driving it through the back of Atum, piercing right through it. Atum drops his scythe and falls to his knees as Mayu withdraws the sword, allowing for the demon to collapse, defeated.

"YOUR WINNER... THE OTHERWORLDER!"

Wow... this one was over almost as soon as it began. You never expected such a top-class fighter to be hidden in Class 1. With this victory, you hear mutterings among the demons in the crowd. It seems that the demonic spectators are truly beginning to fear these "otherworlders" that they were expecting to see as some kind of sideshow act, puny freaks being sent to be demolished.

Mayu returns to the spectator area, and is attacked by a hug from Kiriko. Kazuma also approaches her and places a hand on her shoulder. "Well done. I'm really impressed."

"I expect the same effort to made from you Kazuma," Mayu notes. "Your fight is next. Please, don't disappoint me."

Kazuma nods, as he simply makes his way down to the battleground area, trying hard to adopt Mayu's same stern mindset.

"HIS OPPONENT... THE ILLUSIVE PRYDERI!"

Out from the other end of the arena steps a rather dashing looking demon in a cloak, with what appears to be some sort of clockwork bird on his shoulder. He carries a rapier and bows to the crowd with a smirk on his face.

Kazuma simply readies his Katana and gets ready to fight.

Kazuma raises his blade and begins to clash with Pryderi's rapier. You can see Kazuma taking his actions seriously and considering every single action. Pryderi meanwhile seems to be incredibly confident and treating the battle as a game, or rather as a friendly handshake between swordsmen. Kazuma is thankfully able to take advantage of this extreme confidence, building up a steady rhythm to his sword strikes, luring Pryderi into a pattern before switching up, knocking the blade out of the demon's hands. Pryderi is shocked at first, even earning a small slash across the arm, but soon flips backwards and picks his rapier up from the ground once more while clearing a good distance.

"Pretty good!" Pryderi laughs. "I like this guy!"

"How about we just shut up and fight?" Kazuma suggests.

Pryderi chuckles. "Not one for banter, are you? Very well!"

Without a second thought, Pryderi extends his arm and commands the clockwork bird to attack Kazuma. It takes off from Pryderi's shoulder and fires itself at Kazuma's face.

The bird flies towards Kazuma, but Kaz is quick to react, quickly raising his blade slicing the clockwork bird in half. Kazuma breathes a sigh of relief, until he notices Pryderi dashing in front of him and lunging forward with his rapier, forcing Kazuma to move quick. Kazuma manages to dodge out of the way just in time to avoid any actual injuries from the stabbing. Pryderi continues to poke and stab at Kaz, but with well enough reflexes, Kaz is able to block and deflect the attacks, though finds himself getting more than a little worn out while doing so.

"Oh nuts..." Kiriko mutters. "This demon might have Kaz on the ropes..."

"No," Mayu replies. "Kazuma has more power than that. He's luring him into a false security."

You look back down at the action and begin to see that Mayu might be correct. On closer inspection, Kazuma seems to be exaggerating his exhaustion somewhat, hoping to trick Pryderi into getting into a vulnerable position. How Kaz will capitalise on that, you're not sure.

Kazuma lunges forward with his Katana, but is parried easily by Pryderi, who lets out a chuckle as he strikes Kazuma's chest with a quick palm strike launching him forward and falling back onto his ass. Kazuma quickly picks himself up, rushing back towards Pryderi. The two clash blades yet again, but Kazuma fails to get a single blow on Pryderi, who consistently outmanoeuvres Kazuma.

"This Pryderi..." Kiriko mutters. "He's really skilled. Kaz is in trouble."

Kazuma slashes forward with his Katana, as Pryderi ducks under it, launching his rapier towards Kazuma's lower back.

Pryderi drives his rapier forward towards Kaz from behind, but Kazuma is still on top-form, and is easily able to spin around, whacking Pryderi in the face hard with the hilt of his sword, knocking the demon further away. Pryderi rolls around and tries to pick himself up, as Kaz begins to regain some of his confidence, twirling his sword before readying it again. Maybe that's where Kazuma was struggling, he was trying too hard to keep a serious mentality, not letting himself keep up with his usual style.

"Yeah! You get him, Kaz!" Kiriko screams with joy. "Woooo! Mayu, cheer with me!"

"Cheer?" Mayu mutters. "Well... Kazuma! I suggest you win!"

"No, you have to add some woo's!" Kiriko protests. "Come on!"

"Woo," Mayu adds with little enthusiasm. "Was that sufficient?"

Pryderi wipes the black blood from his busted lip and smirks. "Whoa, now where did this strength come from?"

Kaz cracks his neck and prepares to hit Pryderi with his counterattack.

Kazuma runs forward with the sword and slashes downward onto the downed Pryderi. Kazuma hopes to defeat Pryderi with the downward strike, but the demon proves to quick, moving out of the way... then driving his rapier forward into Kazuma's upper leg. Kazuma winces in pain, as Pryderi pulls the rapier back from his leg, and thrusts again towards Kazuma's chest. Thankfully, Kazuma is able to leap back to safety. He clutches his bleeding leg before preparing his blade again.

"Come on Kaz! You can do it!" Kiriko yells. "Don't give up!"

"We have faith in you!" Mayu yells, with some enthusiasm.

Kazuma rushes forward with his blade, desperately hoping that this attack will lead to the decisive end of the fight... in Kazuma's favour.

Kazuma rushes towards Pryderi, and Pryderi rushes towards Kazuma in turn. The two lunge at each-other with their blades drawn, slashing at each-other as they cross paths in mid-air. For a moment, the two seem to be static in the air, just for a moment, before the two come down to the ground.

Kazuma lands safely on his feet, while Pryderi collapses onto the ground, defeated.

"THE WINNER... THE OTHERWORLDER!"

Kazuma safely returns his Katana into it's scabbard, before limping his way back up to the spectator area. As he does, he is immediately mobbed by a hug from Kiriko.

"Ha, I knew you could do it! Did you hear me cheering you on?"

"Yeah, I did," Kaz smiles. "I heard both of you."

Mayu looks down, seemingly somewhat embarrassed, before she speaks. "We will be fighting in the next round."

"Yeah... I guess we will."

"I look forward to it."

Kazuma slowly approaches you and sits next to you, as Hiro makes his way over and begins to work on him. "So... you impressed?" Kazuma asks you, with a hint of expectation in his face.

Kazuma pauses. "Huh, didn't expect you to actually answer..."

"What can I say?" you chuckle. "I'm proud of you... kouhai."

"And you ruined it," Kaz groans. "Great job."

You give Kazuma a playful punch on the arm. "Hey, you did good work."

"... Thanks."

"Excuse me," Anri from Class 1 mutters, pressing between the two of you. "Would you mind if I wrote about a story about the two of you?"

The two rush towards the steps, before Akio is stopped by Hikaru grabbing him by the sleeve of his jacket. "Akio... wait..."

Hikaru pulls Akio back, and kisses him passionately on the lips. "Good luck," she smiles.

"Babe, aren't you supposed to be mad at me?" Akio asks.

Hikaru nods. "Yeah... but I can't let you go out there without at least a good luck kiss."

"Babe... Hikaru, I love you."

"I love you too, Akio..." Hikaru adds, "What we're going through... we'll work it out. Now just... get out there and do what you do best."

Akio smiles. "Thanks."

At the same time, Seishiro is approached by Satomi, who leans up to give him a kiss, though he instinctively leans away. "Cutiebutt-I mean, nerd!" Seishiro protests. "We're in public!"

"But Seishiro..." Satomi whines. "I wanted to wish you good luck..."

Seishiro lets out a sigh. "Okay, make it quick, before anyone sees."

The kiss is not quick, and everyone could already see and hear perfectly. Their relationship is the worst kept secret you've ever seen.

As Akio and Seishiro walk off, Hikaru approaches Satomi and links arms with her."Huh, who'd have thought either of us would be dating guys like that?"

>You two are so alike, it's scary.
>Your boyfriends are idiots.
>You gonna be okay, Hikaru?

>Your boyfriends are idiots.

"Heh, yeah..." Hikaru smiles, watching Akio leave. "That's why..."

Hikaru and Satomi look to each-other and let out a giggle, before getting closer to watch the fight.

Akio and Seishiro step out onto the battleground and ready their weapons.

"Are you ready, Aki?" Seishi laughs, preparing his pistol. "I'm not going to go easy on you, bro!"

"Heh, me neither."

Akio twirls his spear and points it dramatically at Seishiro. "Are you ready?"

"Alright!" Seishiro yells. He twirls his pistols before aiming at Akio and letting loose with rapid gunfire. Akio remains perfectly in place, each bullet from Seishiro completely on target... then in a blur of motion, waves his spear around in order to deflect every single bullet fired, seemingly individually.

"Whoa..." Seishiro's eye widen. "Huh... you know Aki, I remember us being on about the same level not too long ago. What changed, bro?"

"I got stronger," Akio shrugs. "A lot stronger."

"Heh, I knew you spent so much time training..." Seishiro laughs. "I guess I never properly realised how much stronger you got. To be honest, I've been left completely in the dust..."

"Sorry pal," Akio sighs.

Seishiro laughs and shakes his head. "Nah, it's fine. I don't think I could even reach your level if I ever tried... still, good for you man. I'm real proud of you."

"Thanks..." Akio smiles. "So, are you giving up like a baby, or..."

"No way!" Seishiro chuckles. "I'm still gonna try! Come on!"

Akio nods dutifully, as the two best friends get back into action. The two charge at each-other, and all it takes is a single well-placed punch to the gut from Akio to make Seishiro collapse.

"THE WINNER... THE OTHERWORLDER AKIO!"

"Heh, one punch..." you remark. "Just like your fight, Saki."

"Yeah," Saki notes enthusiastically. "Maybe it will be me and Akio in the finals! Now there's an interesting fight..."

Akio and Seishiro make their way back up the steps, as Akio plops himself down next to Hikaru. "Well babe? Impressed?"

"That's how strong you've gotten, huh..." Hikaru ponders in deep thought.

Akio nods. "Yeah. Something wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing..." Hikaru mutters.

Looks like it's the last match-up of the first round. Ken going up against some demon called Glaucus. You look over to see he's already being wished good luck by Nanami.

You look over to Ken and give him a supportive nod. Ken nods in turn, before making his way down the steps.

"Glaucus... what an odd name," Nina notes. "I hope it's not anything too dangerous for Ken..."

Ken stands in the battleground, awaiting his opponent.

"HIS OPPONENT... THE HUMBLE GLAUCUS!"

Humble? Out from the other end of the arena steps out a... very small demon. Standing at about two and a half feet in height, the demon holds two swords in his hands, and is adorned with facial hair.

"Well, this is my opponent?" Glaucus asks. "Huh, he seems capable. To be honest, I'd rather be at home fishing, but I have a obligation..."

"Fishing, huh?" Ken asks. "I'm a fan of fishing myself."

"Fantastic!" Glaucus exclaims in a suave voice. "They have fishing in your foreign world?"

"Yeah!" Ken laughs. "They have fishing here?"

Glaucus places his tiny hands on his hips and chuckles. "Indeed we do!"

"Stop making friends with the damn demon!" Sae screams down below.

Glaucus shakes his head. "Oh yes, we're supposed to fight, aren't we?"

"Afraid so," Ken laughs.

"Oh well..." Glaucus sighs, as he readies his blades. "Let's do this."
