“Any luck finding your friend?”

Saki shakes her head as she and Ryoji return up the steps. “No... we can't find Rei anywhere. She must be hiding out somewhere trying to get her mind in place... I'm real worried.”

“Isamu's still out looking for her,” Ryoji explains. “But he wouldn't give up the search no matter what.”

True, their blonde friend was really determined to find Rei. The news that Hermes dropped, that he had selected Rei to be given powers simply as a way of choosing her to be his bride, certainly hit a sore spot with that guy. Seeing how much it angered him... you're scared to see how Rei will react.

“Round Two is about to begin,” Mayu mutters.

“Oh, well...” Saki sighs. “I guess we have to keep moving. Come on, Hoshi.”

“W-what?!” Hoshi exclaims. “W-why me?!”

“We're up next,” Saki explains. “Remember? It's me against you.”

Hoshi lets out a low panicked noise, and begins crying to herself, only calmed down when Reiji places a hand on her shoulder.

Saki sighs. “I don't really like it either, Hoshi...” she mutters, before turning to Ryoji and kissing him gently.

“Good luck out there Sak,” Ryoji smiles. “You girls try not to hurt each-other too much.”

Saki smiles warmly. “Of course not! Hoshi is one of my best friends!”

“Yeah, but not your best friend, right Sak?” Rini laughs, nudging her elbow.

Saki shakes her head. “Well no... Ryoji's my best friend.”

Rini looks unamused, as her husband smirks. “You gotta admit, you walked right into that one, Rini,” Kosuke chuckles to himself as his wife angry collapses onto his lap.

Saki and Hoshi make their way to the battleground as you look on with interest. Ryoji leans over the balcony, standing next to you as he does.

>Hoshi's pretty powerful. Are you worried about Saki?

Ryoji pauses. "Of course I'm worried. You can't help but be concerned when the girl you love more than anything in the world is involved in a fighting tournament... but I'm not scared that Hoshi will hurt her. Hoshi's a real powerful magic user, but Saki can more than handle her."

"Huh..." you mutter, "Well, you still look pretty concerned."

"That's because of who Saki might have to face in the quarter finals," Ryoji mutters. "That Odysseus demon."

"Oh," you reply. That's right, that guy was insanely powerful. "Don't worry, my friend Gado can take him. He's one of our strongest."

"Excuse me for not having that much faith in the freshman class to take down something that powerful," Ryoji sighs.

Fair point, you have to admit.You saw how strong Odysseus was, there's no way any of your class could take him in a one-on-one situation. You hope that Gado at least has a chance, but...

Hoshi and Saki arrive on the battleground and give each-other a respectful bow.

"I-I want to p-prove I can do it!" Hoshi mumbles.

"Me too!" Saki enthusiastically replies. "Hoshi, you've always helped me grow stronger... let's give this our absolute best!"

The battle begins, and Hoshi is the first on offence, firing a steady stream of flames, making it's way towards Saki. Saki raises her shield to hold off the flames, but Hoshi doesn't let up. Saki hunkers to cover her full body with the shield as Hoshi keeps her under fire. Saki rolls forward along the ground with her Shield still held in position, while Hoshi easily keeps the focus of the flames on Saki, keeping her pinned down. Saki tries rolling again, but Hoshi again keeps focus on Saki and her shield.

"Looks like Saki has no room to breathe here," you mention. "I mean, what's she supposed to do?"

"No..." Reiji mutters. "Saki's luring Hoshi into a trap."

Huh? In what way is she doing that?

After a while, Saki tosses her shield into the air. Hoshi, on pure instinct, raises her hands and keeps the fire focused on the shield, as Saki rushes forward and shoulder tackles Hoshi while she's distracted. Knocking her down, Reiji shakes his head.

"She knows Hoshi very well," Reiji explains. "Hoshi's always been very jittery. Saki covered herself with the shield and made intentionally fruitless attempts at dodging to train Hoshi's sensibilities, to keep her focus always on the shield and not Saki herself. The sudden movement of the shield threw her off, and before she realised her jittery mistake, Saki had taken advantage... clever."

Hoshi rolls along on the floor, trying to recover, as Saki catches her shield upon it's descent and presses forward with her Lance. Hoshi dodges and shoots a quick fireball towards Saki's feet, causing her to leap up. With Saki in the air, Hoshi proceeds to summon a bubble around Saki, which she then flings to the other side of the arena.

"Hoshi's thinking on her feet," Ryoji smirks.

"Indeed," Reiji remarks. "It's impressive."

As Saki picks herself up on the other side of the arena, Hoshi begins to panic. "AAAAAH! I-I'm so s-s-sorry, Saki!"

"It's okay!" Saki laughs. "This is what I wanted! Neither of us can afford to hold back, okay?"

Hoshi takes a deep breath, before nodding with a determined look. "R-Right! B-be ready Saki, I'm coming right at you!"

And so proceeds and incredibly fast-paced battle of back and forth action. Hoshi throws everything she can at Saki, while Saki dodges and weaves her way through it all. Hoshi in turn avoids Saki's more devastating attacks. Eventually, Saki begins a charge, but is trapped by some sort of binding spell from Hoshi, one that keeps her unable to move from a small circle that appears on the ground.

"What's this?" Saki asks.

"I-I never tried this one before!" Hoshi explains. "But I have that circle binded to you, and now you can't move from that small space!"

"Hmm," Reiji mutters. "She was never able to get the binding seal to work in the past... Hoshi's improving even more than I thought."

With Saki bound, Hoshi begins to work on a new spell. "Meteor Collapse!" she cries, as as giant meteor appears above Hoshi's head and begins to make it's way towards Saki. Saki tries to move out of the way, but only crashes into the magic walls of the circle. Saki panics for a moment, before realising something.

"Hoshi! This seal is bound to my body, right?" Saki asks.

"Y-yeah!" Hoshi mutters, straining herself as she tries to control the seal and the meteor at the same time. "Why?"

Saki smiles. "Hoshi, I'm very sorry about this!" she yells out, before tossing her shield like a spinning disk. It soars beyond the confines of the magic circle, and hits Hoshi square in the nose. You see a spurt of blood, as Hoshi falls back, knocked out cold. The circle disappears, and the meteor breaks apart moments before it reaches Saki.

"Damn..." Reiji mutters. "With the shield bound to Saki's body, it still allowed her shield to leave the circle. A costly mistake by Hoshi."

Saki carries the unconscious Hoshi back to the spectator area.

"Nice work!" Rini exclaims to welcome Saki.

Saki turns red in the face. "I... I'm sorry. I don't like having to fight my friends."

"Well, you'll have to," Kosuke shrugs. "It's a tournament. What do you expect?"

"Looks like I'm next," Gado sighs. "Up against that demon."

>Be careful, Gado. We saw how strong he was.

>Be careful, Gado. We saw how strong he was.

Gado nods. "Yeah... I know. But hey, if I don't try my best, I'm hardly going to beat that demon, am I? Have faith, Kaz."

"Yeah, you do it!" Kuin cheers. "You have your glorious dictator supporting you all the way!"

Gado smiles. "I'll do as commanded, Kuin. Time to kick ass."

Gado makes his way towards the steps, before he is stopped by a hesitant Anri reaching out for his jacket. He turns around and smirks. "What's this, brainiac? You about to kiss me?"

Anri pauses. "I was going to, but... I caught myself. I realised how unprofessional that would be, and frankly there's no real effect in giving a good luck ki-MPH!"

Anri can't finish, as Gado cups her face in his hands and pulls her in for a passionate kiss. Anri is bright red as she pulls she pulls away, but is smiling brightly.

"I needed that, brainiac," Gado smiles, before heading down to the battleground. Flushed, Anri sits down, only to be nudged in the arm by a smirking Akuro.

"You know, I have to admit..." Akuro laughs. "You and he are pretty cute together. Never thought you'd have someone like that after you, but whatever."

"I'm not sure if you were trying to compliment me," Anri raises an eyebrow. "But regardless, thank you."

Gado steps out onto the battleground, as he is soon joined by the mysterious Odysseus. The blonde demon stands without a single word, lantern and blade in hand, as he prepares himself. Gado nods in understanding, and prepares himself as well.

"So, who are you and why do you hate this Hermes so much?" Gado asks.

"None of your business," Odysseus replies. "You're just an otherworlder in my path."

Gado smirks. "Hey, he did you wrong and you want revenge, right? Look, I know exactly how you feel."

"No you don't."

"I do," Gado insists. "Trust me, a man took everything from me when I was younger, and I wanted nothing more than to take his life."

"And did you?" Odysseus asks.

Gado pauses. "No... I didn't."

"Then you are weak," Odysseus replies. "Now, please fall."

With that, Odysseus charges forward towards Gado with his blade, ready to slice him up.

Odysseus moves forward and lunges forward with his curved blade, but Gado is still sharp on his reflexes and quick to react, moving out of the way and rolling to safety. You're happy for Gado, especially when you see the aftermath of Odysseus' attack. Moving at an incredible speed, Odysseus let's out dozens of slashes from what appeared to the naked eye to be a regular lunge... and each slash sent enough shockwaves forward to blow a hole in the arena wall that Odysseus was facing.

"Gado!" Amaya calls from above. "Don't give up! I'm praying for you!"

"Thanks, Blondie..." Gado mutters, still pretty amazed by the sight of Odyseuss' destruction. If that's what he can do with such a simple attack...

"Go Gado!" Kuin yells. "Show him why you serve the most glorious dictator!"

"What is that high noise?" Odysseus asks. "Is that a screeching child?"

Gado growls. "That is Kuin Sugisata, the dictator I serve. You will show her respect!"

Odysseus looks up to Kuin in the rafters. "I don't like it. It's too green."

Gado's temper begins to flare as her stares down Odysseus.

Gado readies his pistol, and begins to take on some strategic aiming. He fires at Odysseus' feet, hoping to throw the demon off-guard and slow him down. Gado unloads upon Odysseus, as Odysseus dodges back and forth as Gado keeps going for him. Odysseus doesn't seem to be slowing down much at all, and is having little issue avoiding the bullet shots.

"He's not taking Gado seriously..." Anri mutters in a concerned tone.

"Well, he has to!" Kuin yells. She leans over the balcony and calls out to Odysseus. "Hey, peon. I demand that you take my most loyal guard seriously!"

Odysseus twitches, annoyed by the sound of Kuin's yelling. "Hey, I'm talking to you!" Kuin yells. "Do not ignore the benevolent dict-"

"SHUT UP!" Odysseus snaps, turning around towards Kuin, before taking two bullets to the leg.

Odysseus winces, as he leaps back on one foot. "Ah, dammit..." he mutters. "You'll pay for that sneak attack, otherworlder."

Odysseus readies himself on one foot, launching himself like a spring as her charges at Gado with the speed and fury of a missile with his blade drawn. Gado will have to move quick to match his movements.

Odysseus launches himself towards Gado, but it seems that the damage to his leg slowed him down just enough for Gado to be able to avoid the attack, leaping to the side and past Odysseus, as the demon quickly recovers. Gado follows his dodging up by letting out a steady stream of gunshots upon the demon, but Odyseuss is able to deflect each and every one with his blade in rapid succession. This Odysseus is on a whole other level.

"You know, you're not as tough as I thought you were," Gado smirks. "Guess that last guy was just a chump."

"Dammit Gado, don't get overconfident..." you mutter.

Odysseus cracks his neck. "It's amusing."

"What is?" Gado asks.

"That you think I'm going all out."

Gado grimaces. "Heh, pretty easy excuse to make."

"And you're going all out?" Odysseus asks.

"Of course I am!" Gado yells. "This is a tournament! Why wouldn't I be going at 100%?"

Odysseus pauses. "That's very unfortunate for you."

Odysseus clutches onto his lantern and holds it up high. "I think it's time I ended this."

"Not if I end it first," Gado grunts.

Gado launches forward with his blade, ready to slice at Odysseus. He knows it's a fruitless effort, as Odysseus is well prepared, and is sure to dodge and take him down with a blast from his lantern.

"Hey you!" Kuin yells. "Don't you hit my Gado!"

Kuin grabs her shoe and removes it, throwing it down into the battleground below. The tiny shoe simply bounces off of Odysseus' head, but it causes the demon to look up at Kuin in confusion, distracting him just enough for Gado to come in bring his sword down upon the demon, slicing the lantern-wielding hand clean off.

Odysseus's eyes widen in shock as he leap back to safety, before staring down at the spot where his hand once was. "Hmm..." he mutters. "You're good, Otherworlder. What were you named, again?"

"Gado," he replies. "Gado Nemoto."

"You are tremendous," Odysseus mutters. "But I must have my vengeance. Time to end this."

To Gado's surprise, the lantern rises from the ground, but summoned by Odysseus. The centre of the lantern lights up, as Odyseuss lets loose with a massive blast in Gado's direction.

"Gado, NOOOOOOO!" Amaya screams out in panic as she sees the encroaching blast, while Gado readies himself.

The blast is all encompassing, an unbelievable bright light. All you can see is Gado bracing himself, before he is completely enveloped in the blinding light, the sheer force of Odysseus' lantern.

"GADOOOOOOOOO!" Amaya cries out in horror, having to be restrained by guards as she moves towards the balcony.

Kuin shrieks in horror, and Anri gasps while clutching her chest. "Gado... please, no..." she mutters in fear.

The light begins to clear, as you see Odysseus standing, confident in his attack, and as the light fades more, Gado is revealed... standing on his own two feet. Exhausted, broken and with most of his clothes torn... but standing.

Gado breathes heavily, as Odysseus stares at him with shock and respect. "Hmm..." Odysseus mutters. "You're incredibly strong... Gado."

Gado isn't able to answer, simply recovering from the force of the attack, putting all of his thoughts on staying on his feet.

"Are all of your friends this strong?" Odysseus asks.

Gado is simply able to nod.

"I see..." Odysseus mutters. "Then, I can trust Hermes in your hands. Should you fail, I will take my chance to kill that monster once and for all."

Odysseus turns to the crowd. "I FORFEIT!"

There are gasps in the crowd as the exhausted Gado falls to a knee. You have to go out and grab him from his position and drag him back to the spectator area.

As you pull Gado back up, he is mobbed by Anri, who clings to him tight in panic. "Gado! Are... are you okay. Please... please speak to me. You had me so worried!"

"Anri, I need to heal him..." Hiro mumbles, as Anri stays in his way.

"O-oh... of course..." Anri mutters as she clears space for Hiro, before clutching Gado's hand.

"H-heh..." Gado chuckles. "So Kaz... d-did I do good?"

>Yeah, you did a great job.

Gado gives a pined chuckle. "H-heh... good to know..."

"You have performed a great duty, Gado!" Kuin salutes. "You really are the greatest bodyguard in the world!"

"I think I should thank you..." Gado groans. "You distracting him is what saved me... man, that was s-scary... Thought I was going to die."

Anri holds Gado's hand tight. "Please, don't scare me like that again..."

As you return to your position, you see Isamu returning up the steps... with a shaken Rei with his arm over her. He whispers some comforting words to her as they arrive up the steps, and Rei rushes to Akira as soon as she sees her.

"Akira!" Rei cries as she rushed to her downed friends side. "I... I'm so sorry, Akira. I didn't mean to hurt you at all..."

"It... it's okay, Rei..." Akira mutters.

"No!" Rei snaps. "It's not! I... Akira, I promise that I'll never get carried away again. I... I'll keep myself in check. I'll never hurt anyone with my powers ever again."

"Rei..." Akira mutters, before pulling her friend in tight for a hug.

The two best friends cry into each-others shoulder's as Isamu smiles proudly.

"Huh, what did you say to calm Rei down?" Ryoji asks.

"Ryoji Shida, that's a secret between myself and Miss Arisato," Isamu smiles.

Ryoji smiles in turn. "Well... you and Nanami are up next."

"A-ha!" Isamu perks up, pointing towards Nanami. "Captain Nanami Fuji! The time for our battle of wits and wills has arrived!"

"If it isn't my old nemesis!" Nanami laughs. "The great hero Isamu Iori! Are you prepared to meet your maker?"

>Wow, this one is going to be entertaining.

"That's one way to put it," Ryoji remarks, as Isamu and Nanami step out onto the battleground. As they do, they both start breaking into overly dynamic poses instead of actually fighting.

"Halt, you sailing rapscallion!" Isamu exclaims. "You may be the queen of the high seas, but now you're standing up against the great golden hero, Isamu Iori!"

"Yarr!" Nanami exclaims, pointing her cutlass at Isamu. "You're no hero! You're nothing but a scurvy dog! You may have defeated the mighty Priam, but now you face a true challenge! I've already defeated my ninja rival, and now nobody stands in my path!"

"I sense a great good inside you!" Isamu declares. "Don't let your pirate heart be overcome by evil!"

"Yarr har har!" Nanami laughs. "Too late! I am the most devious and daring pirate! Now, enough words! Have at you!"

Nanami and Isamu proceed to have the most ridiculously choreographed and rehearsed battle you've ever seen in your life, the two of them moving at a hesitant pace, both play-fighting their way throughout the arena.

Rei buries her head in her hands in embarrassment. "This is just..."

Akira, meanwhile, breaks into uncharacteristic laughter. "Ha, you get her, Iori! I know you can do it!"

Isamu smiles as he looks up to Akira and gives a thumbs-up. "Thank you for your support, kind civilian!"

Isamu and Nanami continues to playfight until Isamu makes a loud declaration. "Are you ready, Captain Nanami Fuji? Ready for me to unleash my ultimate attack?"

"What?!" Nanami gasps. "This can't be! You can't mean-"

"That's right!" Isamu laughs. "BEHOLD! GUNGNIR, ODIN'S BOLT!"

Isamu lunges forward, driving his spear directly... under Nanami's arm. Nanami reacts as if she has actually been stabbed, and staggers back.

"NO!" She cries. "You have killed me! Damn you, Iori!"

Nanami falls to the floor, pretending to have died, as Isamu is declared the winner. Unbelievable... he managed to make it to the quarter finals without having to actually fight. What is this guy capable of?

Isamu and Nanami make their way up the steps, as Nanami receives a round of applause from Ken. "Bravo! Excellent show!"

Nanami gives a bow. "Thank you, thank you!"

The two embrace, as Isamu makes his way back over to Rei and Akira.

"You should have let Nanami win..." Rei mutters. "She has a better chance of winning the next fight than you, Isamu."

Isamu chuckles. "Miss Arisato! It's okay! We both have perfect faith in the rest of you!"

Rei sighs. "I... I just hope I can..."

"It's Alice next, right?" Kiriko asks. "Well... hey, where did she go!"

"The battleground..." you sigh, as you all look down to see her sleeping there yet again.

"How does she keep doing that?" Saki ponders.

Alice yawns and stretches out, as Castor comes stepping out onto the battleground. Alice looks over to him and points at the demon. "You hurt my niece?"

Castor doesn't react, continuing to approach.

"I'm going to hurt you."

Alice smiles as stick out her finger and begins to start blasting away at Castor. Castor remains still as the beams of energy make their way towards him, instead opting to pull out his flute. He blows into it, and the soundwaves spring up, deflecting the blasts of energy away. Alice yawns, before noticing that Castor has blocked her attacks.

"Huh?" Alice asks, raising her eyebrow. "That's not right! You're supposed to be hurt!"

"Alice is powerful enough to beat this guy..." Saki mutters. "Easily powerful enough... but that's no good if she can't focus."

Castor looks over to Alice and continues to play into his flute, the soundwaves of energy raising up and flying towards Alice.

The soundwaves come crashing down upon Alice. Though Alice is able to leap back and avoid the attack mostly, one of the waves slices at her leg, sending her falling back.

"Ow!" Alice yells. "Rude! That hurt!"

"Oh, you beast!" Chihiro yells from the balcony. "How dare you hurt my precious auntie!"

"Chihiro, calm down..." Sayeka mutters in a concerned tone. "You'll hurt yourself if you get worked up like that..."

Alice picks herself off the ground and examines the cut on her leg. "That was very mean of you! Mom, can I teach him a lesson!"

"Yes you can!" Saki yells.

"Assuming that lesson is pain!" Ryoji adds.

"Okay!" Alice laughs. "Are you ready?"

Castor gives no answer.

"I'm going to take that as a yes!" she laughs.

Alice stands in place and places out her hands. In the air before her materialises a large guardian, some sort of giant rabbit-man with a sword.

"Huh, been a while since she pulled that one out," Ryoji remarks.

The guardian launches forward with it's blade drawn, charging towards Castor. The guardian brings it's sword down upon the demon, but Castor moves well enough in time, removing his small blade from its scabbard and blocking the slash from the rabbit. The rabbit leaps back and rushes towards Castor once more, thrusting forward with the blade. Castor barely reacts, as he dodges out of the way at the last second. He breezes past the Guardian, before stabbing it directly in the back.

The rabbit guardian collapses to one knee, before Castor plays his flute once more, the soundwaves tearing it into pieces before it dissolves away.

"Oh, this is so violent!" Chihiro gasps, covering the eyes of Sayeka's hedgehog in order to shield it from the horror.

"Come on, Alice..." you sigh. "Get your head in the game."

"She's so powerful..." Mayu mutters. "But so inconsistent. Her mind is... very interesting."

Castor returns his attention to Alice, playing into the flute once more, as the soundwaves gather into a single, massive ball of energy. Castor holds out his hand and pushes it down towards Alice.

The massive ball of energy comes crashing down towards Alice, who is standing still while letting out a yawn.

"Alice, move out of the way!" Saki yells. "Alice, please!"

"Alice, my dear!" Chihiro cries. "Look out!"

Alice tilts her head, before noticing the giant ball of energy hurtling towards her. "Oh!" she exclaims, as she points a finger towards the ball of energy. A small beam of energy emanates out of her, creating some sort of net that halts the approach of the ball of sound energy, before pushing forward... pushing the ball of energy back.

"Whoa!" Kiriko exclaims. "Is she really going to...?"

Alice strains as she pushes forward, and Castor's ball of energy comes crashing down upon Castor himself, creating a crater in the ground in it's wake. When the dust is settled, Castor is standing, but badly beaten up.

"You know..." Risa remarks. "Alice scares me sometimes."

"Yeah, same here," you laugh. "But man... I think she's officially focused."

"Are you hurt?" Alice asks.

Castor nods.

"That's good!" Alice smiles. "Now I'm going to hurt you more!"

Alice smiles as she holds out her hand. "I'm going to put you away for a while!"

Castor struggles to catch himself, as Alice seems to open up... a portal? Yes, a large, purple vortex directly behind Castor, the power of it pulling him in. Castor falls into the vortex, sucked in with ease, with Castor unable to put up any kind of resistance. As he falls into the portal, Alice closes it up with a smile on her face. The vortex shuts up and Castor is nowhere to be seen, the only semblance of him left is his flute lying on the ground. As Alice is declared the winner, she picks up the flute and plays a note into it. It fires out a wave of energy, surprising Alice and making her fall flat on her ass before tossing the flute aside and making her way back to the spectator area.

"Oh, Alice honey!" Chihiro laughs. "You did it!"

"He hurt you," Alice nods. "That was mean!"

Saki lets out a sigh. "Yes, but... did you trap that demon there forever?" she asks.

Alice shakes her head. "Nope! I'll let him out when he's thought about what he did!"

"Ah, classic punishment!" Chihiro laughs. "That Castor sure was in for a grounding, no doubt!"

"You're up next Rei," Akira nods. "Remember what you promised."

"Of course," Rei smiles. "I won't let you down, Akira. Or you, Isamu."

Isamu smiles. "Of course, Miss Arisato. I have utmost faith in you."

"Ooh, you're up next, Raiden!" Akemi yells, clinging to Raiden's head as she rests atop his shoulders.

"Yes..." Raiden mutters, as he pulls Akemi down. "I hope Rei gives me a good fight."

"Good luck, Raiden!" Akemi smiles, as she hugs into him, while Rei and Isamu also share a tender embrace.

Rei turns completely red in the face upon hearing you. "S-shut up you stupid freshman! You don't know anything!"

Meanwhile, Raiden is about to protest, when Akemi reaches up and kisses him on the cheek. "Smooch!" she exclaims with a wide grin, Raiden turning completely red in the process.

"A-Akemi, you can't do that!" he protests.

Akemi pauses. "Your cheek it really soft..." she notes, as she begins to mush his cheeks together in a playful manner.

"Huh..." Ryoji mutters. "Next thing you know, you'll be finally kissing one of your friends, kouhai."

You pout in anger, as Rei and Raiden, both very embarrassed, make their way down the step and out into the battleground. Rei readies her sword while Raiden readies his pistols.

"Raiden..." Rei mutters. "Let's be honest. The both of us have a habit for losing control of ourselves. Let's try to keep it cool."

Raiden shakes his head. "I'll try... but you're an important opponent to me. I need to test my skills against someone like you, someone of your power... I need to see where I compare, and for that, I demand that you come at me with your full strength."

Rei nods. "Okay, if you insist... I'll give you a challenge. Get ready, Raiden!"

Raiden and Rei begin to get their battle going, as their friends cheer them both on. Raiden lets loose with rapid fire bullets, that of course Rei is easily able to avoid and deflect at her speed. Fortunately for Raiden, his own reflexes are sharp enough for him to avoid Rei's various attacks as well.

Kiriko looks on at the battle in amazement. "Wow... they're both so good..."

"Yeah," you remark. "Heck, there's a chance me or Mayu will have to face one of those two in the semi-finals."

"Yes..." Mayu mutters, "But only one of us will get so far."

You look over to Mayu. "You sound saddened."

"Kazuma..." Mayu says. "I understand that proving yourself is very important to you, and while you are not one to admit it, being victorious in this tournament will mean a great deal to you."

"Yes, and?" you ask.

"Kazuma..." Mayu whispers. "Do you wish that I would let you win our coming battle?"

>You'd really do that for me?
>Sure, it would help a lot.

>No, we're supposed to have a fair fight.

Mayu nods. "Of course. I am very sorry, Kazuma."

"No need to apologise," you reply.

Mayu shuffles slightly towards you. "Of course, I would very much like to have a fair fight with you. Test our skills against each-other."

Back to the action, and Rei and Raiden are going at a hundred miles an hour each... well, Rei is likely moving at speeds far beyond that. The two continue to move back and forth, each one dodging the other with incredibly high paced action, before coming to a brief stand-still in the middle.

"I'm surprised you've been able to keep up," Rei smirks.

"So many underestimate me," Raiden remarks. "I'm just as powerful as you, or Saki, or Akio. And there is very little that can stand in the way of myself defeating a demon."

"Heh..." Rei smirks. "It's good to know that you're as intense about killing Hermes as I am."

Raiden nods. "Though I'm surprised you're not more adamant after hearing the news."

"What news?" Rei asks. Oh boy... here we go.

Raiden shakes his head. "Of course... you were missing at the time it was said."

"Hurry and tell me!"

Raiden sighs. "Alright then, if you insist. This Hermes selected you as the one to receive his powers because he intends to make you his bride."

Rei pauses. "Seriously?"

"Yes," Raiden answers.

Rei stares at him. "I see... in that case... I'm very sorry about what I'm about to do."

Rei disappears into a flahs of light, one that streaks by Raiden. Raiden stands shocked, before completely collapsing.

"Don't worry," Rei mutters. "I only hit the points needed to incapacitate you for a moment. Nothing's been permanently damaged."

"THE WINNER, THE OTHERWORLDER REI!"

You notice something as Rei is declared the winner.. the crowd bursts into cheers. Perhaps they appreciate and respect her combat skill, or maybe they're cheering over who they believe to be the bride of their champion. Either way, they love Rei.

"And as for you, Hermes!" Rei exclaims, pointing around the arena, unsure of where he currently is. "You gave me these powers... you made me suffer! You made me tear my life apart! And you are causing me to lose my life... not because of a any skill, not because of any potential in me, but because you found me attractive?! That's the greatest insult of all! I'm going to win this tournament! And when I face you, I'm going to gut you with a smile on my face. You're dead, Hermes!"

With that, Rei picks up Raiden and carries him back to spectator area. She hands the still incapacitated Raiden over to Akemi, who despite her minuscule size is able to carry him over her shoulder. "Wow, Raiden! Rei kicked your butt!"

Raiden is only able to groan in response.

"Haha!" Akemi giggles. "You looked really squishy out there!"

"Alright!" Sae pumps her fist. "Looks like it's me next! Any advice, guys?"

>Asking us for advice? Who are you, and what have you done with Sae?

Don''t tell me we are gonna need to roll for advice, because then Sae is even more dead.

Might as well at least try and warn her. She won't listen, but when Nariko's ripping her arm off in a rage we can say we tried.

>Yeah, don't make that girl angry. I hear she gets pretty crazy when she does.

"She does, huh?" Sae ponders, and not in the way that you'd like. "Well, I know what that means! It means that if I piss this little girl off, she'll actually give me the real fight that Risa never did!"

"What?!" Risa snaps. "Sae, you cannot possibly be this stupid!"

"You bet I am!" Sae chuckles in return, before hurriedly rushing down the steps, as Nariko follows in turn.

"Oh, this fight is going to be an interesting one..." Seishiro smirks to himself, as he pulls out his camera.

Satomi slaps the camera from his hand. "Stop that, you p-pervert! D-do I have to... wiggle my behind to keep you from such foul acts?"

Seishiro looks at Satomi and raises an eyebrow. "W-will you?"

Satomi and Seishiro both blush as Nariko and Sae meet on the battleground.

"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Nariko smiles. "I'm-"

"Hey, you like animals, right?!" Sae yells.

Nariko tilts her head. "Yes? Why?"

Sae draws her machine guns and begins to fire upon Nariko, forcing her to dodge quickly. "I hate animals! They all suck! They're just a bunch of annoying runts that are only good for food!"

"What?" Nariko gasps in shock. "Why would you say something so hateful!"

"Because I mean it!" Sae yells. "All animals suck! Especially cats!"

"Are... are you trying to make me angry?" Nariko asks. "P-please... don't..."

Sae scoffs. "You own cats, right? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna beat your ass here, then I'm going to go back to the academy and kick your cats in their stupid little-"

Sae can't finish her sentence as she eats a fist to the teeth. Nariko appears to be covered in red energy, and her entire stance and mood has shifted... she's angry. Well... Sae wanted a real fight, but you don't think she'll be too happy with just how strong this opponent is.

Nariko moves with such intense speed and hits with such intense force, she simply juggles Sae in the air, beating her into more and more of a bloody pulp as she goes.

"N-Nariko...?" Hiro asks, a tone of concern in his voice.

"This... this is very alarming," Sora states.

By the end of the barrage, Sae is left crushed and broken by Nariko, who in her rage is just about ready to hurt her more despite already being declared the winner quite some time ago, until Sora rushes to the rescue, coming in to try and calm Nariko down with meditation. Unfortunately, Nariko attacks him, swatting him away, as Hiro rushes in and tries to calm her. Nariko proceeds to lunge for Hiro, but stops at the last second. That brief hesitation is enough for Saki to come in from behind and knock her out for the time being. With a weary sigh, Saki and the two boys carry the unconscious girls back to the rest of the group, as Hiro solemnly works on patching Sae back to health.

"She was totally demolished..." Risa mutters. "I mean, it was her own fault, and she learned her lesson, but... ow. That hurt to watch. Will she be okay?"

"I hope so..." Hiro frowns.

"It's you and I next..." Mayu points out, getting straight to the point.

Ah yes, the fight you've been waiting for. You smile and nod, before stepping out onto the battleground with Mayu. The two of you draw your swords.

"Are you ready for this?" Mayu asks.

You nod. "Ready as I'll ever be."

"Good..." Mayu stares at you. "Kazuma, I want you to know that I have dreamed of this day since the moment we met. Please, give me a good battle."

"Sure Mayu, I can do that," you smirk.

And so, the two of you clash blades, staring the other down with determination.

Come on Kaz you've got a job to do.

Should have used some reverse psychology on Sae, but based Sora to the rescue.

Don't you always get a bad end in VN's when you're too defensive?

I assume the same applies here

You lunge forward towards Mayu, but she parries. Still, you remain on the attacks, slashing and swiping with tremendous speed, never letting Mayu get a change to recover, or a change to move on the offensive herself. Still, she's very good at working on the defensive, constantly blocking, ducking and weaving with every attack. You realise pretty quickly that despite her icy and methodical demeanour, she's actually a little faster than you in her reflexes.

"You're not giving it your all, Kazuma..." Mayu mutters. "You are disappointing me. Please, hit me with everything you have."

You slash downwards, and Mayu rolls to safety, but lunging at you with her own blade.

>Rolled 44+4

You try to move out of the way of Mayu's slash, but you find yourself taken by surprise, as Mayu's blade slices along the side of your leg. You stumble as you hop to safety, holding tight to your sword.

"Kazuma, you are better than this," Mayu insists. "I know for a fact that you are."

It's true... but you can't shake those words from Saki out of you head... Mayu is better than you. And hearing that... for whatever reason, it made you feel angry. Mayu is one of your closest friends, you care about her so much... and yet you can't help but feel angry towards her. Resentful... you hate those feelings, but you have them.

"Kazuma... why are you so afraid to fight me?" Mayu asks. "Is it because you fear hurting me again?"

"No!" you protest. "That's not it at all!"

"Then prove it."
