Third Level Tournament

Pendant if not the name is wrong? But the shape of the carvings is so familiar to me.

An inverted quotation mark was engraved on the pendant. It made Meiga feel familiar when she saw him. Then the speech of the girl also felt to have its own meaning behind it. But all of that might just be Meiga's feelings. He returns to his main purpose of coming to the store, looking for a magic crystal. “Grandfather, do you sell some magic crystals here?”

The shopkeeper's grandfather said that all of his magic crystals had been bought by the girl earlier. That reply made Meiga's feelings strange. “Is this just a coincidence? What a shit coincidence.” His inner. He soon returned to his friends' quarters for failing to find the magic crystal in the store.

On the way back he meets his best friend who has just returned after recently, he is none other than Zenin. “Zenin, you're back, what about your business?” Meiga greeted as she approached him. “Ah, just calm down some I've finished kok.”

Meiga thought, if there are still some completed means there are still others dong. “Ah, bodo very, the important thing is that he returned safely is enough.” Meiga quickly changed her prejudice. “How about the tournament, is it running smoothly?”

Wow really good at Zenin. How can I say that almost everything about the tournament was settled by that fool.

“Ehm, tournament problems you don't have to worry about Zenin. More or less everything as planned. Now we have earned the right to participate in the third level tournament. Now being part of the front double is not a dream anymore lo.” Clearly Meiga was somewhat covering up the facts. But what was said was not a lie, their goal following the tournament was none other than to join the investigation force.

The goal is none other than to do the destruction of evil creatures such as demons and evil spirit monsters. As explained earlier, the tournament was made to look for strong people who could support survival in the Meeden kingdom. “You are right Ola, if we can join the investigation then avenging what happened to the people before is not a dream anymore.”

“Then let's go back, I'll introduce you to our new members.”

“New members? Why have I never heard of it?” Zenin asked in panic. With its somewhat shy nature, it may make it a bit difficult to get used to the new people around it. But Meiga from the beginning also realized it, therefore he chose them based on quite special specifications.

“No problem, they are all good people really, you will definitely be able to familiarize yourself with them.” Meiga tried to calm the somewhat panicked Zenin. “Alright if you insist.” Pause. He's known Meiga for a long time, of course he knows that Meiga has set something, two will do it.

Tickets to take part in the third level tournament had been obtained, the head of the academy had created a small party for them. “Hei this food is delicious lo.” Say Dedy while chewing her mouth food. “Dedy, your habit is really bad lo.” The irritated Anie rebuked looking at him. “By the way Dedy same Anie is really close huh. Hoh do-don't they pa–”

“Of course not!” They cut the word Orin together. “Then what is their relationship this.” Inner Orin.

“We are just a very familiar couple.” Obviously Anie was brief.

“Hoi, doesn't that mean courtship?” Orin kept trying to tempt them.

“Not possible!” Answer them again in unison.

“Truthful seirama. Surely you guys are dating!”

“You're wrong!” Reject them.

“Eh, when I think you guys are very suitable lo. Do you agree with Narta?” Narta just followed the plot made by Orin and immediately agreed with him.

“Eh you guys are serious?”—Anie glared at Dedy who is muttering–“ugh, not possible yes!”

Blam!...

Anie hit Dedy with her annoyance. “Aaaaah! What you did Anie, it really hurt lo.” Complain Dedy with his calm. “Hah! You still want more?” Anie threatened. Dedy immediately seduced him with an apology.

On the other hand Orin and Narta were really laughing with a spin, what a selfless friend. “Talking about food, the head of the academy is really good huh. Until bother preparing a party like this for us.” Narta was astonished. From the ridiculous research he used to do while begging, most people would not bother to do something like this, let alone the academy head would not get anything from the tournament.

“From all I know, the head of the academy is very understanding. Even he wanted to create a special class for students who have problems.” Obviously Orin. Although what he meant was none other than their own class, but it was really something new.

“Oh yes Orin, by the way who is the most powerful in this team?” Anie had actually been thinking about this from the first time she joined, but only this time there was the right timing to ask.

“About it...?”Orin was thinking.

Krieet!..

Meiga and Zenin entered the room where the members of his team were. “Nothing is strongest in our team.” Meiga who heard the question immediately took part in the conversation. “What does that mean?” Anie doesn't understand it. Meiga also explained, if you look at who is the strongest, maybe Narta is the strongest.

But Narta can still be defeated by Meiga easily. But if we assume Meiga is the strongest, he can still be defeated by Orin, although according to Meiga Orin will not be able to defeat Narta. “The point is that everyone has their own natural opponents.” Meiga.

“Regarding the third tier tournament, have you got the Orin ticket?”

This time Meiga tried not to be instigated by his chatter, and went straight into the main topic. “Good then. For the data of third level participants I happened to get it through the head of the academy earlier. So directly we discuss the strategy to face them.”

“Which faction will be our first opponent?”

“For our first opponent is the sacred knight faction of the second gene.” Orin answered Anie's question. Although they never participated in the tournament, but they were loyal spectators of the tournament which of course he knew enough people from the faction. “Gen second, means our opponent will be eight people.

Wouldn't that be difficult?”

The third level tournament requirement is a minimum number of team members of six and a maximum of eight. It will be difficult to face more enemies. But they will go through it no matter what. “Surely it will be difficult, but that doesn't mean we can't beat him. In terms of our individual strengths, it is arguably higher than the average participant. Although it will be difficult if the opponent is the main gene.” Zenin convinced them.

Because it began to get carried away, Zenin with his sword began to invite them to set up a formation. “Because this is our first match, I think there will be a bit of a problem in cooperation. But looking at our opponents, I don't think we're going to be too difficult to win. Right Ola?”

Ola nodded in agreement. From what he knew all along, other than one person there was nothing too dangerous within the second gene faction that would be their opponent. The faction was the second-gen holy knight, and the most prominent one in it was Iris to put Luna aside. “Luna used to be the most dangerous among them, but since she had obtained an exemption from the government, then she should not join the faction.

Then Iris who became the main force in the faction, to fight against him I myself was enough.” Everyone also agreed with Meiga, if they were too dependent on Iris then defeating her was not difficult.

“Ehm, for strategy let's leave it to Zenin the expert.” Orin began his chatter amid the discussion. But none of them hugged him. They continue to discuss strategies for the tournament ahead.

Tomorrow has arrived, the Colosseum this time is completely filled with spectators. “Hey did you hear? there is a team that just ascended to the third level tournament and will directly face the second gen sacred knight faction loh.” There seemed some spectators were gossiping about the match this time. “Heh, then so kasian once yes they, must be immediately defeated in his first game.”

“But from the rumors circulating they are so strong, it even only takes a few days to rise to the third level.”

“Hoi, is that serious? Then this match will definitely be very exciting.” Said one of the spectators who was so excited to watch the match this time. “That's right, if not wrong the Wind Control Champion who is hot this time is on this team!”

“Eh seriously? Wow obviously will be exciting this match.” The audience was getting impatient to see it.

**

“Iris, don't push yourself too much. Your opponent is completely unknown to his ability. Seeing that the Wind Control Champion is in it, I guess they are really great opponents.” Lyn reminded. Raven agrees, too, so there she just lets Lyn direct them.

Iris also understood this, as a person who knew the taste of the bitterness of defeat he never once underestimated his opponent. “We will do our best, for me defeat is common. But the difficult thing is how we react to it, isn't it like a deputy commander?” Lyn smiled and patted Iris on the shoulder.

There the commentator began to be heard announcing the match this time. He summoned Iris' team as the first to enter the arena. “Fight Iris!” Luna who was also there tried to encourage her best friend. Iris simply smiled at him and started to invite his team into the arena.

“In the west corner, teams that have just risen to a tournament of this level. Let's welcome the Meeden academy faction!” welcome the commentator. All the members walked into the arena, yet only five people had been seen. “Only five people? How is it possible.” Iris was surprised. “Waduh, what are we witnessing this. Are they just five!” Commentator panicked.

A person with a mask on his face finally walked out of the west corner door and entered the arena. The referee asked him if he was a member of them. The man answered him. The referee finally decided to start the match.

“Then let's start.” Said the masked man in a defiant tone. Several members of the second-gen saint knight faction were waiting for instructions from Iris when she was about to attack. But there Iris was silent thinking about something that stuck her mind. It was the sound of a masked person who sounded familiar to him.

“If you do not attack then we will attack. Narta!” Aba-aba had been given, immediately after which Narta activated her Iron Forest Vines skill to attack them.

“Dodging!” Iris who sensed the danger from the skill gave the team command. But that is the real purpose of the skill. To create a separation zone for the eight people.

“This? Gawat, we're stuck!” Iris immediately realized the purpose of the skill, but it was too late. The team has been separated into 5 groups. Orin and Narta confront two people, the duo of Dedy and Anie against two people who are quite troublesome, Zenin is also faced with one person, then the last masked person, the masked one, Meiga faced Iris one on one.

“I don't think you're going to be this frivolous Iris, or am I the one who rated you too high?” Meiga tried to provoke. But his opponent was Iris, such cheap tricks would not affect him. “It looks like you're very familiar with me. Where have we met?” Reply Iris. Meiga also slowly began to take off her mask, it suddenly made Iris so shocked because she did not expect it.

The long blonde hair with sea-blue eyes that resembled her was the real figure of her opponent, whom she knew by the name of Ola. “What should I say long time no see?” Meiga again tried to provoke.

Amid the intense fight of the other two team members, they remained silent there. The audience also fell silent when they saw the scene. In their eyes it was two beautiful girls who were facing each other with cold gazes at each other. They also wondered why no one had made any movement between the two of them.

“Ola? I never thought you would suddenly appear in a place like this. I deserve to feel so familiar with the air of your existence.”

The smiles of the two looked increasingly sharp, showing as if they wanted to know who was stronger among them. “Nearly two years we did not meet, I have been waiting for a fight between the two of us.” Said Iris with a reminiscing tone.

“Then how about we start soon? I also want to know how much you have developed over these two years.” Iris was also like-minded, at that time they began to prepare themselves to face each other.
