The Game of Survival
A/N : For this round and maybe the future rounds' co-host, I will be using back Sakurana Alice again since no one is willing to suggest anymore cameos for me and if everybody wants to settle with the same co-host... Anyway, from this chapter onwards, since I had finished the rules craps, the chapters might be getting gradually shorter or a lot shorter.
Erhem... Please just continue to enjoy it~
Disclaimer : I do not own Prince of Tennis. The idea for the challenge below came from my dad.
Chapter 4 : Round 2
"Welcome back to the Game of Survival! Tonight's co-host is still Sakurana Alice. So, let's skip the introductions and just move on to Round 2," Ran said.
"Hello again, everyone! It's me, Alice. For this round, it will be just like the previous round. We will announce the participants only we will announce the challenge. Let's just call this round the Suspense Round."
"Once again, we will just need one candidate from each team. So, let's announce the candidates now."
First team : Kirihara Akaya
Second team : Minami Kentarou
Third team : Konjiki Koharu
Fourth team : Aoi Kentarou
"Look! We have two Kentarou's here!"
Fifth team : Niou Masaharu
Sixth team : Amane Hikaru
Seventh team : Kikumaru Eiji
Eighth team : Kaneda Ichirou
Ninth team : Kabaji Munehiro
Tenth team : Yagyuu Hiroshi
Eleventh team : Uchimura Kyousuke
"Now, for the challenge or rather the task, you have to sing... this!" Alice gave the candidates each a piece of paper.
When they received their papers, most of their eyes were nearly bulged out except for some of them.
Two of them were pretty clueless and looked really really innocent. As for the other two of them... their expressions were unreadable. One was snickering quietly while the other one was making jokes about the lyrics while getting hit by his doubles' partner and teammate. His jokes were a little dirty so let's not hear about it. As for his partner, he was being forcefully pulled down by the rest of his teammates. For the rest of them, nearly all of them had nosebleeds but they were not out cold yet.
The audiences and the not participating participants just look curiously at the people on stage and wondered about the next challenge.
While the people on stage were playing around with the lyrics, eleven microphones with stands were done setting up in front of each of the participants.
"Okay, it looks like the microphones were ready. We can begin Round 2 now. The condition is all of you must sing together as loud as possible."
"One reminder, for this song, the tune will be 'Jingle Bells'. I'm sure you all know how to sing that tune."
"Ready... Start!"
The eleven candidates sang together as loud as possible. The lyrics were like this...
"Jingle balls, jingle balls, jingle my two balls.
One so big and one so small, which ball do you want? Hey!
Jingle balls, jingle balls, hanging on the wall.
If you want the big big one, come and take my one."
However, since the hyperactive ones were in too, eg. Kikumaru Eiji, the song would ended up like this :
"Jingle balls nya! Jingle balls nya! Jingle my two balls, Yeah!
One so big and one so small, Yeah! Which ball do you want? Hey! / Hoi!
Jingle balls nya! Jingle balls nya! Hanging on the wall, Hey!.
If you want the big big one, come and take my one, Hoi!"
There was a brief silence after the song had ended.
"...Okay, that was really quick..."
"Ya, and they really sang as loud as possible. But, Eiji-san was the loudest with Akaya-kun. It looks like there are no penalties for this round."
"Yep! They are no penalties this round and no one is disqualify too."
"For Niou-senpai and Konjiki-san, I'm sure they could sing this with ease. As for Akaya-kun and Kikumaru-san, I'm sure they had no idea what they were singing at all. Kabaji was just imitating them. However, I'm really surprised that Yagyuu-senpai could sing this with ease as well..."
With that, Niou burst out laughing really hard. Inui and Yanagi immediately jotted down that valuable information. Kirihara and Kikumaru just stared at everyone else since they were as clueless as getting lost in the jungle.
'It's really true that it was surprising that Yagyuu, the Gentleman, could sing that kind of song without any trouble... Even us nearly had our brains tainted with dirty thoughts...' Most of the Rikkai regulars thought.
'How seriously disturbing...' Most of the participants thought.
'Mada mada dane.'
'I won't be able to get a girlfriend now... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!' Aoi Kentarou thought.
'I seriously did not think that. I seriously did not think that. I seriously did not think that...' Minami Kentarou, Kaneda Ichirou and Uchimura Kyousuke thought repetitively.
"Usu," Kabaji Munehiro said. "Very disturbing."
"The balls are jingling in my pants...Pft..." Amane Hikaru aka David tried to cover his mouth to stop laughing.
"Hora! Dabide!!" (Dabide - Amane Hikaru's nickname)
"Ah! Wait a minute! Bane-san!" (Bane-san - Kurobane Harukaze's nickname)
As for the rest, just use your imagination.
"As for the rest of the candidates, most of them nearly had nosebleeds but they managed to keep themselves from being out cold. That's too bad. Anyway, I'm sure that most of the singers and listeners had dirty thoughts after the first two lines of the song."
"Aww... They are healthy humans after all. It's natural for them to think like that!"
Most sweat-dropped at the two hosts but since the two hosts already knew the whole lyrics, obviously they would not think that way.
"As a conclusion for Round 2, it looks like they were no victims for the penalty and none of them were disqualified. So, that means there are still 70 more participants remain. *sigh* I thought we could kick out at least one or two of them. It looks like I had miscalculated the chances..."
Ran turned to back from the participants and the audiences while looking through the super long list of challenges and tasks prepared for the Game of Survival. Alice just laughed nervously while there were beads of sweat drops forming at the back of her head.
"Eto... For your information, the next round will be a normal round. Meaning, we will announce the challenge or task before we announce the participants. We will called that round Normal Round, okay?"
"Erhem... Round 2 had come to an end. I'm Takimoto Ran- And me, Sakurana Alice- the hosts for today would like to thank you all again for tuning into the Game of Survival on LIVE. We hope to see you again soon in the next round. Till then, keep on tuning in." Ran and Alice said together while waving good bye with the rest of the Tenipuri characters (including the out of the game ones).
A/N : What do you think of this chapter? Pretty short compare to the first 3 chapters, right? This chapter was a little boring too but the idea was original, right? I'm serious when I said that this idea came from my dad. He was singing this song the whole time in the car till I get seriously annoyed with it. And that is when I got my idea. However, the song was a little dirty if you never heard the whole thing.
As always, reviews are much appreciated! Ideas are also much appreciated too.
Till the next chapter, ciao!

P/S : Please visit my poll. It was the same one as I had mentioned in the last chapter. I'm really curious. Plus, I might be using the results of the poll for the special round if I'm writing it.
