Aisha PoV:


"A tournament? Here in Velder? I find that hard to believe..." I said laying back in my comfy armchair. We got back to the Inn after we saw the billboard that Raven had spoke about, "I mean, all of Elrios is in a crisis for El, and they're just going to give a gigantic hunk of it to a winner of some entertainment? That's pure stupidity right there." I was hardly able to comprehend to thought process behind it. "I agree with Aisha, it's pretty dumb to casually be handing out El to a person that could simply beat everyone up, " said Rena, who leaned forward from her seat on the couch. "Not only is it irrational, but it's barbaric! Why fight for El when you can make another city with it!?"

"I disagree guys, it's a test of strength! And not to mention, we finally get to see which one of us is the strongest!" Shouted Elsword, standing from his previous position on the edge of couch beside Chung, "Besides, it could be a good way to cool down, chill out, and have some fun!" "I actually concur with Elsword, we've been chasing El for a while now, and to be honest, it's getting kind of repetitive" replied Ara, who sat as regally as Eve, beside her. "True, this could be our lucky break... not to mention, the grand prize, /is/ on of the largest chunks of El we have ever seen," said Raven, who stood behind Rena, "Elsword makes a good point, this could be a way to unwind from all the constant demon smashing."

On that note, Elsword flashed his large, bright, and stupid smile , I couldn't help myself from mocking him, "Wow, finally, a good idea from you, you goddamn strawberry..." Elsword perked up and snapped his head towards me, "What'd you say you grape?"

"Oh, so you /can/ hear me, I thought you had a leaf stuck in your ear"

At that point, Elsword summoned a rune in front of him, "you want to continue?" And I pulled out my staff, "You can't beat me in magic,"

"I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS!"

"OH WILL YOU!?"

"WOULD BOTH OF YOU JUST COOL IT!?" Shouted Rena, in her demonic tone, last thing I remember is me and Elsword jumping behind the couch to avoid her rage.


Chung's PoV


Man, will those two ever learn? Ugh... this creepy vibe from Rena scares me every time it comes up... "W-Well, Aisha started-" "I DON'T CARE WHO STARTED IT! JUST MAKE UP AND SHUT UP!" On that note, Aisha and Elsword said sorry to each other and to everyone else, before taking their seats. "Hm... well anyway, if we're going to sign up, then we should go now, it's already Noon" Rena huffed simply, "Yeah!" We all shouted

Later on that day

After we ate a quick lunch, we headed to the center plaza of Velder and- "WHOA, that's a lot of people!" I shouted in disbelief. There were massive amounts of people signing up for the tournament, by the hundreds- no, thousands it appeared! We all had a hard time keeping track of each others through the masses. "So where do we go?" Asked Ara, who followed behind me and Elsword, "Yeah, this crowd is gigantic, there's no way this many people would fit in a single tournament!" Shouted Elsword over the crowd, "Not to mention that we lost the others, I mean- Oh! I see the sign up table!" I announced, leading Elsword and Ara through the crowd. As soon as we finally got to the table, we were greeted by a nice black haired teenager, who held out his hand for a shake. i took his hand a shook it firmly while he told/shouted to us, "Hey there! If you're here to sign up for the Elrios Battle Cup, then take this sheet and fill it out right here."

"Alright, thanks," I said simply, okay then, lets see... Name, Age, Class, Weapon, Occupation... No wonder so many people are here, there's too many questions! After about another 13 minutes of writing, I finally submitted my application for the tournament, while waiting for Elsword and Ara to finish theirs. As soon as they completed it, I was happy to walk away from the large crowd in the plaza, "Application sheet? More like a freaking test!" Elsword shouted in irritation, "What does my freaking 'view of the world' have to do with a tournament!?"

"I admit, that was a stupid application sheet," sighed Ara exasperatingly. "Anyway, looks like game day is gonna be tomorrow, so we should get home and rest up, whaddya say guys?" I ask, "Heck no! I need to get to training! I dunno about you guys, but I plan on winning this thing!" shouted Elsword, grinning brightly from ear to ear, "Well, I'll see you later guys!" and he ran off to see Camellia to set himself up for sparring matches, "How about you, Ara?" I question gingerly. "I'm just gonna hit the showers, it's been a long day you know?" Answered Ara, "I mean, if this is a break, then a good long rest does the best work right?"

"That's valid... whatever, let's just head home then, the others are gonna get back to us at some point anyway" I reply, and so we head home, wait for the others to come back, and then head straight to bed.

Then next day


Eve's PoV


"System startup- 100% Complete," we all got up rather early, unsure if it was excitement, anxiety, or Elsword that woke everyone up. "Good morning, Eve~ did you sleep well?" "I did Rena, thank you for asking, how about you?" I responded quietly, careful not to wake Els, who fell asleep on the couch from training so hard last night. "Ugh, that kid is such and idiot," complained Raven, "SEE!? Do you finally see what I see?" Shouted Aisha, as though she is actually trying to wake Elsword up. If that was what she was trying to do, it worked, "I can't see anything, my eyes are closed, but can you keep your pie hole shut, you witch?"

"WHAT'D YOU CALL ME!?"

"I said pipe down, didn't I? I'm too tired to argue with you"

"Well you should get up, because the tournament is going to start soon," I said, and the answer I was met with, was definitely, not, a valid one. "Eh- one more hour, the couch feels too warm, and I'm freaking tired..." I cringe a bit at his answer before sitting him up and releasing a nice, hard, slap, right across his face. It sent him flying into the kitchen, bouncing off the floor once, before skidding across the ceramic floor. He stopped just short of Rena, who was cooking at the stove top, "awake yet, Elsword?" She asked, "Yup..." replied Els, who was wide eyed, from the morning call he just received.

After that little scuffle we all got ready, bringing our best gear, ready to go, when we got to the arena, we were escorted to the preparation room. It was filled to the brim with fighters of all different shapes and masses. They appear to be calling names for something. Elsword was the first called, but he never seem to have come back after. One by one we were called, and I then called, leaving Chung and Aisha by themselves while the crowd continued thinning quickly.

When I see the next room, there was a large forge, and a fair young man in some lavender armor, with flat, black hair and a deranged left hand. Other than that, the room was a navy blue and made out of a solid steel alloy, and nothing else really. The man gestured for me to come closer, and as I approach him, I realize he was actually only a 16-17 boy, "Are you Eve Celestius? Class: Code Empress, Age: 16?" Asked the youge man that called me over, "Yes, that is me," I reply in my usual controlled tone. "Okay then, may I ask that you hold out your hand?" He asked, scratching his chin. I held my hand out, and he removed something from the hot coals in the forge. It was an iron rod, "this may sear a bit..." he held my hand closer to him and pressed the rod onto the back of my hand, the pain was fairly hard to ignore.

When he released pressure on my hand, the rod left an graceful design on where it had been pressed. He put the rod back, took a breath, and began to speak, "That's your entry mark, it will stay there until you are eliminated. It's irremovable, so don't bother with it. It's infused with magic, so it will teleport you in or out of the arena you're fighting in. Like so," the moment he said that, the mark began to glow, and I began to disappear slowly, the magic swallowing me from my hand and onward.

I screw my eyes shut, waiting for the magic to stop, "Good luck in your battles!" and that was the last I heard from him. When I opened my eyes, I was in a large area, with many other people. Between everyone seemed to be a force field to keep everyone in one spot. I scan around once more, and find myself in a very large arena with other contestants, preparing their weapons. I finally activate Reby and Moby and turn on my small intercom to communicte with Oberon and Ophelia. "Talk to me you two, are you both battle ready and in position?" I ask. "Yes, mi lady." They answer to me in unison. "Okay then, stand-by."

As soon as it seemed everyone was ready, the announcer finally took charge. "Hello ladies and gentlemen, And welcome to the Elrios Battle Cup! Today is the first day of the competition and things are going to start off red hot right from the gate! As this is the qualifying round, and there are many, MANY, players involved, we were to that the very first event is to be... A BATTLE ROYAL! And it's to begin, NOW!" At that moment, the laser gates were dropped and the battle begun.


Jiro: Oh thank Lady El, it's over w

Ara: it's a regular chapter o.o

Chung: I thought you were bluffing when you told us, I'm actually impressed :3

Jiro: Either way I probably screwed up somewhere... dammit, the only thing I good at is description and battle scenes .

Rena: don't worry yourself Jiro, I'm sure it'll do fine :3

Jiro: Meh whatever, anyway. Thanks for reading my probably terrible work royalty :3 please R&R if you want, and I'm sorry if this took wayyyy too long to update, but school was a douche :3 ANYWAY, Buster out!
