Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai!
Tournament Of Delusions!
Episode 6: The Black Phantom!
Yuuta opened his eyes to see a girl's face a few inches away from his.
"R-Rikka?! What are you doing?"
"I was transferring some of my excess dark energy to wake you from your slumber"
"How unusual for you to be awake earlier than me" Yuuta glanced outside the window to the barely lit blue sky, "Wait… what's the time?"
"F-Four in the morning…"
"What the hell are you thinking?!"
"I just wanted to find our last member so that we could have a full party in the tournament"
"You really want to win the tournament that badly?"
"Y-Yeah… I-I want to go on a journey to a mysterious realm with you and everyone else…"
Rikka noticed Yuuta's glance and gave up, "Oh fine, mostly to be with you"
"That sounds more like it, in that case I forgive you this time"
"So does that mean…"
"Why not, I'll help you find that member"
"Yay! But I can't think of a way to find that last member"
"I suggest observation on the matches occurring currently and observing people grinding the monsters"
"Not a bad idea, just as expected Dark Flame Master"
Rikka returned to her own room and placed her Delusional Gear over her head while Yuuta did the same in his room.
He closed his eyes and whispered the start-up command, "Synapse break, Vanishment this world"
He respawned back in the town and was first up greeted by Wicked Eye.
They entered the arena's spectating seats and watched the current PVP stream. From 7V7 to 1V1.
Dark Flame Master checked the time displayed on his HUD, "We've been watching the matches for three hours now, we should move on to the mob grounds after this match is over"
Wicked Eye nodded in agreement to his suggestion.
As Dark Flame Master watched the 1V1 match, a certain avatar stood out from the rest.
Who is she? I've seen her in the last few rounds. Black Phantom...
"Hey Wicked Eye how about her?" asked Dark Flame Master as he pointed to the girl who held a mecha black sword just like her black mecha suit with wings attached.
"Her? You mean Black Phantom?"
"Yeah, she seems strong enough; I haven't seen her lose a battle yet"
"Alright, let's ask her"
Dark Flame Master and Wicked Eye waited at the Arena 13's exit. Black Phantom soon appeared from the exit.
Wicked Eye slowly approached her, "Hi there, is there something you need?" she asked politely with a smile.
"H-Hello, we would like you to join our party for the tournament" Wicked Eye answered shyly.
The girl's polite expression changed to an annoyed one, "Again? Why do you want me? I would be the one doing all the work now wouldn't I?"
Wicked Eye became frightened of the girl's sudden change but continued, "That's not-"
"I would be the one carrying the team while you guys lay back and enjoy the show right?"
Dark Flame Master took a step forward in front of the frightened Wicked Eye, "We would never do such a thing"
"Really? How can I trust that you wouldn't? I've been asked multiple times and the only way for me to join you is if you beat me in a 1V1 match to prove that you are stronger than me"
"1V1 match?"
"But if you think you'd lose then don't bother"
"No, I'll try"
"Suit yourself… Dark Flame Master"
The two set up the 1V1 match and soon stepped into the arena. Dark Flame Master looked at Wicked Eye who sat in the spectating area to relieve her anxiety.
"Just to make this clear, if I beat you, you will join our team for the next qualifiers"
"Yes and if I win, you leave me alone and give me all your gils"
"Yes, that's how it will be"
The countdown began. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
The sound of a bell was released and the fight began. Black Phantom started with a full speed charge at Dark Flame Master. He blocked the attack with both his arms and distanced himself.
Her speeds are extraordinary, probably like Erk or maybe even faster. I'm surprised she didn't join the tournament, with her skills; she could've gotten through the qualifiers easily.
She continued her unpredictable attacks with tremendous speeds, so fast that Dark Flame Master could barely keep up.
"Machine Gun!" bullets poured towards Black Phantom, but she somehow let off a small smile.
She remained still while the bullets vanished into thin air as if it had hit a barrier.
A barrier? No way, I didn't hear or see her mouth move to chant out a barrier. Unless…
"It wasn't a barrier was it?" asked Dark Flame Master to clarify his suspicions.
"Well done, you saw through it. Yes I did shred up your bullets with my blade"
My suspicions were correct, she moved so fast that it didn't even seem like she moved at all. Can I really beat her?
He looked toward Wicked Eye who had shut her eyes and placed her hands together to pray for his victory.
"I won't lose like this… Dark Flame Master, evolve! Ghelzonianses! Dark Flame Sword!"
He slashed the air in front of him and caused wave of dark flames to appear which headed directly for Black Phantom. She turned her sword vertically and cut through the flames.
"I call upon the flames of darkness to gift me with the weapons I desire. May the weapons of darkness be bestowed upon my hands!"
"Oh, the dual wielding skill used to defeat Erk in the qualifiers yesterday huh?"
"Black Heaven and Abyss"
"Yes… I too want to taste the excitement Erk had, but I shall defeat you"
"I won't go down that easily"
They both charged at each other fiercely, Dark Flame Master swung his left sword vertically towards her head. She blocked the attack with ease as Dark Flame Master expected. He then swung his right sword horizontally towards her waist.
I got you now…!
