Time had gone by so quickly as it seemed, even all the participants were unaware that the Tournament of Solicitation would start at nine o'clock, those who have passed the selection will get information about their opponents in the first match or can be called the first round. Today is the day that is awaited by many participants including Shira who has been preparing that she did some warm-up after she woke up from her sleep then she did not forget to take a bath as well.
Shira stared at herself in front of her mirror while wearing her gold and black Kisetsu, she used it slowly and then put on the rope very tightly so that her Kisetsu would not open easily, she said, Shira begins to justify the collar of her shirt and begins to sit on her mattress while opening the drawer to take her gold gloves, "... ..." Shira began to look at her blocked left eye with a blindfold and then she opened it so that her eyes were still shining and the light would not be able to go out, the beam could be extinguished as long as Shira died.
Shira began to try to control her left eye so that slowly the rays began to form a golden pupil in her left eye and it seemed like Shira had just managed to temporarily restore her left eye, but when he fought later, he was sure that the pupils of his left eye would disappear and make his left eye shine as usual. Shira also began to stare at her left arm surrounded with golden particles, if she fought then her left arm would shine brightly or her Enchantment Testament Light magic would activate, "The day I have been waiting for has finally come... A formidable rival, I will definitely meet all of them." Said Shira who started putting both of her gloves on both of her palms.
His black-colored scarf looks perfect for his Kisetsu, he gets up from the top of the mattress then he starts doing some styling in front of the mirror and it's obvious that the style will be a cool-looking style, "I pledge... Will be the strongest!!!" Shira clenched both of her fists so that she saw the reflection of someone who looked clearly like Alvin.
"Hhhh...!!!" Shira rounded her eyes when she saw the figure of a god who had transferred herself into the world of Touri, she glanced back and Shira did not see Alvin at all, "W-What is it... That was...?" Shira asked who started sweating as well as her heart started beating quite fast as if she sensed the existence of someone terrible trying to kill her.
"D-God Alvin...? Are you there?" Shira asked who started looking back at the mirror where she saw Alvin next to her, "AHHH!!!" Shira began to try to hit her left and right, it seemed like her attack was not hitting anything because Alvin was not in that place at all.
"Hehehe... In the near future~" Suddenly the reflection of Alvin in the mirror began to speak with a dialect that is not usually heard from a figure of the god Alvin, Alvin, Shira had heard of it and it seemed that Alvin's way of speaking was different and his face was clearly like a heavy psychopath, "In a minute, you will know the taste of the torment of suffering that Yuusuatouri universe gave you, Shira."
"What are you looking at right now...? An illusion? A reflection? The nightmare? Your thoughts? Your imagination? It's up to you if you want to believe it or not because I can show you a little future for you~" said Alvin who began laughing like a monster because every second, he said, his tone started to sound heavy so it turned into a demonic voice.
ZWOO!!!
Shira began to blink her eyes several times so that she arrived at a planet where the land was filled with lava water and extremely hot rocks. He started looking around and looking for something strange, when he was in that place. Shira thought that everything she saw was just a dream.
Shira began to feel a red beam right behind her then she glanced back so she saw the demonic army darting past her and made her shocked to the point of falling on the ground, "Huh...?" Shira started breathing heavily then she sensed the myriad existences of someone who had started to disappear, he glanced back and then he began to round his eyes because he saw a lot of corpses scattered with their bodies that had been cut off and their organs that came out so that their blood was scattered everywherewhere's.
Shira could not say anything other than opening her mouth so wide, she saw Korrina being slashed in the heart so that she could no longer be called alive, Shira also sees Arata and Haruki where their bodies are split in two as well as all the third-grade participants whose organs are removed like Shizen where both eyes come out and his mouth is wide open, Akina and Ophilia also lost all their limbs except their bodies. Shira can't do anything but look at them.
Shira moves forward and steps on Alvin's body where he looks normal unless he loses both his arms and legs, Shira began to feel his neck and he could not feel the pulse so his back started to be pierced by a sword, "Ahh!?" Shira's mouth began to bleed so much that the thing she saw was Megumi who looked like she was in a dying state, she started to strangle Shira's neck, "Should... You're... You can.. beat him..."
"Why do you.. trust him...?" Megumi asked so that they all started to disappear and Shira knelt on top because her whole body felt limp, Shira saw a Devil raising a blood-red sword upwards so that the planet she sat on began to shake and let out extremely hot lava water from within the core of the planet, he glanced over where a crimson-red portal opened so wide that it showed several crimson-colored warriors flying out of the portal as well as the Crimson Great God.
"Shira's! The shira! Shira!!!" Shouted Megumi so loudly that Shira began to shake her head and then she covered her face because her consciousness had completely returned, it was possible that the thing Shira saw earlier was a nightmare, her imagination, her imagination, or the future will happen in the near future because Alvin has told him, "Ahhh!!!" Shira started to catch her breath a few times and then she exhaled her in a very panicked manner.
"Why? What's up?" Asked Megumi who started looking at her anxiously, Shira started staring at Megumi so that it made her relieved that she was currently next to her, Megumi since coming to Shira's room, he saw Shira's left eye shining bright blue and it was a new thing for him and of course made Megumi worried because he had just seen Shira like before, he was terrified even though he was daydreaming while looking in the mirror.
"Shira...! Did you hear me!?" Call Megumi to Shira who is looking in the mirror while breathing hard enough, he starts pointing at his Luz Legendaria and it makes Megumi surprised because Shira's left eye still shines light blue and it doesn't seem like a good sign for her, he starts slashing the mirror in front of him until it is destroyed and Megumi immediately hugs him so tightly that it makes Shira calm again and then releases her Luz Legendaria.
"Huh. huh.... huh..."
***
When it was nine o'clock when all the participants who had passed the selection began to gather outside the Tournament of Solicitation, they felt amazed and surprised when they saw the place where the tournament would be held, as they entered through the door supervised by the guide, they saw countless holograms showing the entire venue of the tournament starting from the arena, he said, there are three arenas there and it seems like the matter of these three arenas so that the tournament process does not run long enough.
All the participants had no other choice but to stay in the hallway looking at the hologram which showed the tournament venue from outside and inside because it looked so beautiful and cool that some participants started taking a photo using the cameras they were carrying, when all the participants managed to enter the hall one through five, were, they take a paper with a number where the numbers are very important for them to play later because Morgan will soon appear and then randomize all the numbers like one to ten and round the first starts with one against five which means the number one participant and the number five participant will fight in the first round held in the first arena place.
Shira was standing right in front of a red cardboard box and inside was a paper with several numbers, all participants were required to lie down neatly so they could pick up the paper, Shira inserted her right arm into the hole at the top of the cardboard and her palm began to sink with a lot of paper, "... ..." Shira starts picking up a piece of paper and then she pulls out her right arm and starts to see the number on the piece, "Number 21..." Shira began to show the paper to the guide in front of her and the guide began to make a disc in the hologram next to her.
The paper collection took several minutes so that in each hall began to appear a hologram pointing at Morgan and 3 holograms showing 8 participants who would participate. It seemed that Morgan had gathered a lot of information that passed the tournament selection and he could only get 48 worthy participants to be able to join the Tournament of Solicitation. Some of the participants who did not get away all cried even there were some participants from the third grade who did not qualify for the selection and it made them cry.
"All the participants who will participate in this tournament! Get ready! The first round tournament will start at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, expected for participants participating in the first round to prepare!" Said Morgan so as to make all participants feel excited and impatient, "Alright... We start by scrambling all the numbers!!!" Morgan began scrambling all the numbers from one to two four and it just took a while and all the numbers have appeared in all three holograms, "If there are no numbers you choose then you will participate later in the second round!" Morgan.
Shira and Megumi could not see their numbers in the two holograms, it seemed like they were both going to fight in the second round, though, that meant that the two of them could only see the fight given by all the participants who were likely to be their opponents. Arata looks at the arena to one where he chooses number six and in the hologram arena to one there is number six against number ten, it seems that Arata is the first to fight later when the time has been kept at twelve in the morning.
All of those numbers started to change into names and the number six actually showed Arata's name as well as her face, Shira rounded her eyes when she saw Arata who was going to fight with Yuuki later, "Looks like my first opponent was the king who led the city of Ghisaru huh...? I'm looking forward to it..." Said Arata who started punching his own left palm.
Akina sees Arata who is very eager to fight against a king as well as the son of the Ghifari family, Akina started to stare at Korrina who was staring at her paper which showed number thirteen and that was where Korrina showed no expression other than silence, Akina started to wonder with that expression should she be happy that her son will fight in the first round and at the earliest, "Korrina, what's up? How you feeling? Yuuki will fight against Kak Arata loh!" Akina.
"Obviously, my goal is to be here and take part in this tournament not to have fun or find a tough opponent." Said Korrina who started to show her serious gaze, seeing that Akina felt something different inside Korrina. A few minutes later, they all started to go and do other activities except for Korrina and Akina who were in the cafeteria for lunch, Akina looked at Korrina who was drinking a box of strawberry milk while showing a bad mood.
Usually Korrina would always discuss the topic of breast enlargement, but now Korrina was just silent while showing a nervous or worried expression. Akina herself had no topic of conversation but instead she could only drink a glass of her tea and try to motivate her, "It seems I realized that I only care about winning..." Said Korrina in a slow tone.
"Ehem..." Korrina began to blush a little and then she looked at Akina with a serious expression, "As long as you know that I can become this strong thanks to you who have taught and trained me about various things! And I seem to be able to learn a lot about the science of using weapons and also martial arts because I use magic and illusion more often..." Korrina puffed her cheeks and it seemed like she had managed to reveal something she wanted to reveal.
"If you don't help me then I won't be able to grow anywhere, I'll just keep quiet here... A girl who came from the Comi family who only relied on illusions." Said Korrina in a slow tone.
"Hahaha, that's why we have to take part in this tournament by having fun and enjoying it! After all, pleasure is more important than getting a Solicitation's Order, right?" Ask Akina.
"Have fun and enjoy it...?" Korrina's expression began to turn into an annoyed and frustrated expression that made Akina tilt her head, "I trained and studied desperately to develop into a highly experienced fighter..." Korrina started to clench her milk box so that both of her pupils turned into Crimson color and made Akina realize that she had just said something she should not have said because Korrina would definitely remember Alvin and it makes his mind burdened because the tournament can only be won if the participant enjoys it and has fun instead of being serious and behaving like the tournament is a tournament that takes one's life.
"Do you think I'll take part in the tournament by enjoying it and having fun!? I have my own goal of saving my stupid husband who is trapped in the Crimson Realm!!! MY ONLY GOAL IS TO WIN!!! WIN THIS TOURNAMENT FOR THE THIRD TIME!!!" Korrina got up from the chair and hit the table in front of her, drawing some attention from all the students in the cafeteria, it made Akina surprised as well because she could see drops of blood water in both her eyes, "Ugh..." Korrina began to show her bitter expression and then she walked away and left Akina alone, causing Akina to worry and also feel guilty that she indirectly made Korrina remember Alvin.
"It seems wrong yes..."
