Chapter 8 Part 2. Competition.

Soon everyone is back on shore with their haul. 'woah that is a lot of fish, we will all count the points in the meantime we will be doing the rest of the competitions, and once the rest of the competitions are over we will announce the winner.

'alright, next up is uh... shoot I didn't realize I will have to sit this one out' Asta utter. 'huh ho w come Rasta?' Magna asks and looks to the board. 'ah a swimming competition, don't worry guys I got this one in the bag' Luck states.

'wait is it allowed that one sits out from a team' Noelle asks.

'huh uh I uh' Asta utter getting a little bit nervous.

'It is nothing to worry about as it is up to the teams to decide how many participants to send out, and only the fastest swimmer from each team will count towards the total score' the announcer clarify.

'so in theory only one from each team is needed, but to get the highest chance for a good score it is a good idea to have as many players on the field as possible' Noelle explains.

'it sure seems that way ?' Vanessa adds.

'phew, that is good' Asta utter and Liebe is revealed too as he does not need to show himself so up close to so many people.

They mess around a little until the next competition starts up.

One uses stone creation magic to make a big rectangle on the water surface to create a huge pool.

'Alright contestants choose your swimmers. Remember you can choose as many or as few from each team as you wish, as only the one with the shortest time will be giving their points to the overall total score!' the announcer yells.

'All right Noelle you are up, show them what the black bulls girls got' Vanessa cheerfully tells her friend. 'ofcorse I am royalty' she utter. (I do know that among the bulls I am way faster but it is only because the others has had little chances to swim in the sea like I have, and the rest of these contestants seems to know their way around the water) Noelle gulps at the thought.

'Hey you got this Noelle piece of cake' Asta cheer from a distance. And she eminently blushes 'Ofcorse I do, Dorksta! I don't need you to tell me that!' she yells. (I am still so jumpy when it comes to him, but he did help me, for I have calmed down properly now) she thinks to herself and gets into position by the starting line.

Millie looks at them all and over to Stanty standing a fair distance away getting ready as well.

'Listen Haha guy, Aphro and Phati I can handle this part on my own so just stay out of this' he states. 'hu-hu allright then, but I could crush this competition I assure you' Sekke boasts. But Stanty ignores him. 'I got this in the bag' he states as the rest are getting into positions.

Noelle takes a deep breath. 'All right, Ready! Get Set! …..GO!' the announcer yell and they are off.

'woah Noelle is actually in the lead all ready, heck yeah you go Noelle!' Vanessa cheers with the rest of the girls. 'Come on luck you got this!' Asta yells.

(Man being quick without magic sucks... huh) Stanty is gaining on him.

(Come on I need to win I have to win) he thinks to himself.

Noelle casts a short glance back. (oh no so scary everyone are catching up quick, I must keep going) she swims faster but a couple passes her.

(No!) pushing forward she keeps going and going. (come on! The end is right there come on!)

'I Can't afford to let them beat me!) Stanty thinks pushing harder and harder to go faster and faster. The stone edge is there!) he touches it and places his feet on it and kicks with all his might.

'Oh my Noelle is in the lead again, you go you can do this Noelle!' Vanessa yells.

'You are so much braver than me so you got this' Gray cheers from behind Nero. 'you go' she utter calmly.

'That is the most I don't care voice I have ever heard, do you not care about this at all' Finral asks and Nero smiles.

'okey I am not sure what that grin is supposed to mean, anyways, you go Noelle uh. Luck is gaining on her fast now, Hurry Noelle!' he shouts.

(Oh No come on, come ON!' se heaves for the water as her lungs ar burning begging for more air than what they are getting.

(Come ON!) she slam the stone wall with her hand and she stops and looks around. 'you did it Noelle you are amazing' Vanessa cheers for her friend.

'The Winner is Stanty!' the announcer yells and Millie smiles and looks over (he did it I am glad).

'What no way' Noelle says getting out of the pool.

'No way, but Noelle is the fastest one in the water that we have' Grey fusses. 'is she?' Finral asks and they look at him and the person he is looking at. 'Millie?'

'hu yes Ma'am?' she calmly asks. 'are you a good swimmer?' Vanessa asks. 'I am decent, why?'

moments later she stands by the starting line. 'all right everyone ready!'

'are you not going on round two?' Sekke asks. 'nah, I have already crushed everyone' Stanty states.

'Get Set!'

(Millie, remember) 'I got it Thomsn, my water training has helped me in many ways just like you said it would, but do I really need to use it here? She mumbles to her self.

'GO!'

And they are Off.

'There is no way... one would think she is more part fish!' Finral and the rest awes.

'no I mustn't Stanty will loose, but I am supposed to help out my team too, Stanty I hope you have gotten plenty of fish) she braces for the end and with a great kick she lunges forth.

'we should have gone with her first she is way faster' Finral utter. 'well it was a good idea to bring her out. ... Wait if this is what she call decent, then what level does she consider good?' Vanessa asks.

'That is a good point' Finral replies in shock.

Millie touches the end and gets out of the water and gets into her clothes before anyone can get a good look at her.

(Shoot) Stanty thinks to himself and looks at Millie who glances back at him (oh no, he seems displeased. I hope I didn't make him too mad) she thinks to herself.

'that was amazing'

'huh, thank you for those words ma'am' Millie replies with a neat bow and turns to look at the rest getting up of the water.

'The Winner is Millie!' the announcer yells into the magic item.

'I will go one more time' Stanty utter. 'huh, there is no way you will be faster than what that girl just pulled' Phati tells him. 'it doesn't matter, I at least have to get second in order to get enough points to stay in the game' he states and goes over and gets ready.

'all right contestant, ready! Get Set! GO!' and they are off...

once the swimming competition is over they all gather on the beach. Where the teams play Volleyball in a tournament. It last for quite a while.

'alright folks this is a sand castle competition, the one with the most impressive sand castle will win, this is a game to ensure that big and small can be a part of the event and for those lagging behind it is a great time to earn some last minute points in order to improve your standing so le'ets Go everyone, on your marks, get set and Start!' the announcer yells

'this is actually more fun than expected' Vanessa says putting a small flag on the top of the castle. 'I agree, I am glad we went here today' Noelle says.

'I wonder how the guys are doing?' Nero asks and they look over.

'shoot they put Goach on the task? He is good at creating structures from all sort of material'

'you are right he will be tough to beat' Noelle agrees and goes back to their sand castle and continues doing their best.

'it is a great Idea putting you in charge, you go Goach!'

'yeah you go show them what the bulls are all about'

'haha you got this'

'I am rooting for you friend'

'will you all shut up I am trying to concentrate, this sort of thing needs perfect care and focus'

'hmmm' Jami smokes not really saying anything while looking at the rest of the competitors.

'all right time is up the judges will judge your creations now' the announcer yells and everyone drops everything and stands by their creations.

'my there are many impressive castles this year' A short man with a big mustard says as they go by everyone and he stops by Goaches creation. 'my that is some fine detailing there mister'

'I know sir, when making a sculpture of my sister it needs to be absolutely perfect' he states

'right well good job to all the contestant, now it is time to give points and to rank the winners' he says and gives out ribbons to all the contestants with a different numbers on them to show of points and when he gets to Goach's creation he gets a zero.

'what the? Hey old fart explain the meaning of this, my sculpture were perfect!' Goach snarls.

'true but the assignment was to build a castle not a girl, so you have failed this task of the competition mister' he says.

'I will show you failed task old man' Goach says and brings out his mirror with his magic.

'hey take it easy Goach! the man is just doing what he is supposed to do'

'yeah he is supposed to judge the competition based on what we made' Magna adds.

'man this pisses me off, let me have at him' he says and Asta and the rest are holding him back. 'no way dude just cool it'

'the hell I will!'

'okey' Smack!

'Wow he is out how unfortunate I would love to se him fight that guy'

'you are crazy you know that right?'

'yeah I know' Luck replies in his usual chipper voice.

'And soon the final announcement will be revealed so stay tooned!' the announcer yells...
