MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 24 White star tournament

From that day on I continued to practice how to use blood magic as the servant suggested.

I tried various things and found it impossible to use them in my human form.

But on the other hand I can use it when I'm a vampire but it's not that easy.

If I take too long in the vampire form I slowly get the vampire characteristics and start wanting to drink someone's blood.

Because if I want to use it I have to remove the protective light I put inside me and it drives me crazy.

Even in some cases I've let go of the change but I still feel very thirsty.

To be honest, I really wanted to ask the only other vampire, my mother, but after hearing that story, I'm sure she really hated vampires.

So I felt bad to ask him.

Today I was lying in my room thinking about what to do in the future.

"Tok tok" knocking on the door

"It's me Joey, I want to report something."

"Lake in."

Joey came into the room and I took him to a chair by the window to sit down.

"Not met for a long time."

"True, this time I searched quite deeply and found quite valuable information. I want to report it to the princess but she hasn't come home yet."

"Lucy may still be training somewhere, what kind of report is that?"

"I found a rune embedded around the location of the white star Tournament, the rune looked new and did not look like a protective rune."

"After researching it I found out that it contained mass destruction magic inside the runes."

"The rune continued to absorb magic energy and it was likely that it would explode in 1-2 weeks right when the white star tournament started."

"It will be attended by the seven demon princes so it looks like the runes were put up by a different person than I was talking about before, because if it exploded it would have an impact on the 7 demon princes so maybe this guy's goal was to kill everything in one strike."

"Do you know how to stop it?"

"Unfortunately not yet, I wish I could do it on time."

"Help it, and report it to Lucy as soon as possible she can help."

"All right."

"And did you find any clues about the others?"

I didn't need to explain who I meant and he understood right away.

"I'm sorry but right now I'm too focused on researching the runes so I haven't found a clear clue about their whereabouts, but I know that some of them are in the Empire."

"Well don't push yourself too hard, and I'm sure they're all alive now."

"You're right, then I'll go report to your highness first."

Joey left the room.

I stared at the full moon, it felt so close.

The opening day of the white star tournament.

In a giant arena that will be our battleground.

This place was extremely crowded as everyone from all over the Empire came to watch the inter-school fight.

This was no ordinary fight as the winner in this tournament would be awarded the title of the Empire's star and his life would be guaranteed for life.

It was indeed not very valuable to the members of the 7 demon princes but but to others this would greatly increase their degrees.

Because this is in the capital so we do not need a guide and are free to roam wherever we want and will gather at the appointed time.

At the moment the five of us were walking around the arena, the three of us were wearing participant-specific black uniforms that represented the school while Lucy and Asta were wearing normal clothes.

"Isn't this the princess, it's an honor to meet you."

In front of us were some people in red clothes, The front man was a man with green hair.

He looks like a subjugation character in a fantasy otome game so essentially he's handsome.

"It's nice to meet you too Edward Von Leviathan."

"Haha it's a pity that you didn't participate because I was eager to conquer you and your heart in the fight."

Edward intended to hold Lucy's hand but Lucy immediately retreated and distanced her hand, Edward's face immediately became strange.

"Pff!"

As usual people who do not know how to restrain themselves began to laugh out loud.

Plus the couple behind me also stuck to each other with a friendly make Edward's face became more so.

"So they are the representatives of Ba'al Academy? they don't even have manners."

But Edward quickly rediscovered his composure and put on the prince's expression again.

"Don't be like that, I'm asking them not to be formal with me."

"It looks like we're going to win this tournament easily."

"Well, good luck, friends, let's go."

We all left Edward and continued on the road.

"I'll make you my slave."

Edwar spoke to himself in a small voice so no one heard him.

.

.

.

we were all sitting in the audience seats because the first fight was about to start.

Different from the selection tournament this time each school will fight 3 vs 3 so it takes good teamwork to win.

We watched and it turned out that the Edward we met earlier was going to fight in the first round and on the other side were ash-coloured schoolgirls.

In this arena there is also a VIP seat and it only amounts to 7 seats that are made specifically for the 7 demon princes.

And now the seven men were present and sat there.

All of them were accompanied by two knights who looked very strong except Lucifer he was accompanied only by Ron's butler and the maid I met in the library.

The host started talking about this tournament then started introducing the VIP audience.

"From the first seat, let us greet the noble Lucifer the vanity!"

As the host mentioned their names one by one they waved, I was able to recognize their strength based on my previous knowledge of demons but still they were all monsters.

What intrigued me was Beelzebub because he was a burly man full of muscle, very different from asta who was fairly normal and even thin when compared to Beelzebub himself.

And there were also Mammon and Asmodeus as they were only the women of the 7 demon princes.

Especially Mammon because I felt he had a different majesty from the others, I couldn't explain it but it felt like he was a little unique.

"The first fight was the fight between Luxen academy against the Fibel academy! Ready it! Get started!"

As the fight begins Edward activates Leviathan's powers.

"Sechelf their magic"

After that the three of them directly advanced simultaneously.

"What! I can't use magic!"

"Damn it!"

The students from the Fibel academy whose magic was sealed were trying to fight back but it was no match for the Luxen academy's Students who could use magic.

So the fight quickly became one-sided and ended quickly with the Luxen academy victory.

"That's pretty shitty."

I muttered.

"You're right"

"It would be annoying if witches couldn't use magic."

Zep and Ana also agreed with me.

"But I don't think we should be afraid of him."

Zep looks very serious now.

"If we end up fighting with them leave it to me, maybe you don't know but I don't use magic don't even have it because I'm anti-magic myself."

"Ehh? so how do you use unification?"

"Well it was made based on the same concept but my family has always been KI users and not where therefore my attacks cannot be blocked with magic."

"I've never heard of it."

"I haven't." either."

"Rather than discussing it better let's look at the next fight."

The fight continued until our passage to enter.

.

.

.

VIP seats a man sitting with the majesty of a king and in his eyes although it looks soft but it is the eyes that look down on others.

Her red hair that bloomed seemed to show her greatness.

He is Lucifer.

Even he did not need a knight to protect himself and preferred to be accompanied by a servant who was ready to serve him.

It was because he believed that in this world no one was stronger than him.

It was a principle upheld by the Lucifer family that considered strength to be everything.

So for the Lucifer family to lose power is death itself.

Lucifer looked at the person standing inside the arena, he was a human child with white hair, Ryu.

Beside him was a large man with purple hair and wielding a spear, Zephyr the traitor.

And behind her was a green-haired woman standing with her hands folded under her chest and it made her chest look bigger.

The core where my daughter was destroyed and lost all her strength but she was fine even she looked more cheerful than before and it was all thanks to this child.

Lucifer looked at these three children very seriously and after that his gaze turned to the purple-haired man but it was only for a moment and instantly turned again to the green-haired woman.

Ana cross is an ordinary woman with no background but such great power, even the intelligence of the Lucifer family can not find any information about her strength, even her parents only have a simple bakery.

"Examine everything about that woman."

"Understand."

After that the fight began.

"Ready! Get started!!"

They were all advancing simultaneously and different from before this was a normal fight.

they all just use basic improvement and focus on teamwork.

The Zephyr becomes a tank while Ryu is tasked with counterattacking on the other side of the Ana cross providing support from behind.

Based on the reports I received, the three of them always destroyed something when fighting but this was beyond expectations as they all fought normally.

This excellent cooperation where the Zephyr holds the enemy is continued with a magic attack from the Ana cross that makes the enemy crash then Ryu will advance and slash the enemy very quickly.

and the fight is over.

When the fight ended Lucifer turned around.

"What's the current state of affairs?"

This time the maid answered.

"The current situation is still under control and it seems that the person's prediction is quite accurate so you can calm down."

"Good enough, do it I don't want to have a mess when I'm here."

"Understand."

.

.

.

"Great fight as always."

Lucy and Asta greeted us after coming out of the arena.

"It's so annoying to have to hold back like that."

Ana starts to complain as usual, Asta approaches and starts to comfort her.

I'm very unsure about Ana's personality because it's so random and constantly changing, when talking to other people she always uses the word "junk" or "lowly" no matter who it is.

Even to our own homeroom teacher and it always ends in a fight.

While talking to us she behaved like a normal, sinless girl.

And that changed again when with Asta, he immediately looked like a docile and very spoiled dog.

it reminds me of a certain person honestly.

"But wasn't that cool? you know we're fighting pretty good cooperation."

"You're right, that's our goal of restraint and I don't want to show my power to this many people because I don't know which one will be the enemy."

I really don't feel comfortable taking out my power there because the whole eyes of the ruler are on me.

"Well how about we go on the road?"

Lucy offered and we ended up going into town to celebrate our first win.
