Chapter 24: Rising Stars? by Harem-Fan

     By the time Freya and I returned to the Contestant Seating Area, the first round of battles had come to an end.

     Soon, a new round of battles took place, but I was not familiar with  any of the players.

      But soon, while watching, I noticed how gruesome these battles actually are... With the ability to be resurrected just as one dies, everyone fights more fiercely, like true life and death.

      Somehow, this made my heart a bit sad. I know this makes everyone stronger, but how cruel is this? However, the fight with Demons has caused Humanity to fight to the bitter end.

     As I had complicated thoughts in my heart, Freya had leaned into me, and placed her head on my shoulder. As her both hands held my left hand, she said softly.

     "Sam, I can feel your emotions... It will get easier, I promise. Just know, this is not a world full of peace and friendship. Humanity is as dark and corrupt as the vile Demons. Just promise to never leave me in this life."

     Seeing Freya now, she reminds me of a lonely little girl, and not a voluptuous woman. So I smiled and rubbed her head gently, like I once did to the youngest sister in my past life, and I told her.

     "Do not worry, I won't let my soft feelings stop me from reaching the top. I want to be strong enough to protect you."

     Suddenly, I felt a chill up my spine, like a beast was watching me, and a voice I knew all too well came from behind me.

     Walking over to me and Freya, Evil Loli was with Rebeca, and before Rebeca sat, Loli was already next to me. Rebeca seeing the Headmistress take her spot, only moved to Freya's side.

     Evelina said to me while watching the students going up.

     "You did pretty good, but you are now under closer scrutiny... You should have thought more clearly about showing The King's Sword so openly in public. Well, nothing to be done now."

     As she sucked on some candy coated fruits on a stick, her purple eye focused on my expression.

     I think she noticed... It seems as my Summoner Circle goes up, my ability to resist Falbium's Dragon Fear improves. I gulped, because it still feels pressuring, and said.

     "Well, I think the King wanted me to use it openly, right?"

     Evil Loli nodded to my words and said while offering me a bite.

     "Yeah, that kid seems to want to let you grow, at any cost. Here take a bite, it is candy coated cherries."

     Realizing we are in public, I shook my head no. She frowned and then grinned.

     "Little Sister Freya, here hold this for me, and then feed it to Sam, hehe."

     Freya reached over me, and took the stick of treats, and then said in defeat.

     "Ah, Just eat it Sam, she gets unreasonable, if I do not listen to her, my teacher is just like that."

     As I took a bite of the super sweet treat, I heard Evelina scold Freya.

     "Hey, you are no longer a Teacher in Rosecrans, and I told you to call me Big Sister from now on. Don't make me scold you for not respecting your older Sister."

     Listening to these two, I had no idea they were so close?! But I guess I did see them both at the gate chatting, and seemed close then. Hmm? They seem to get along like sisters though?

     Just as I almost uncovered a Cosmic Truth, I heard Evil Loli ask Rebeca.

     "Hey Mrs Glen, I lost my assistant Freya to the clutches of this lecherous boy, I am going to be in need of a personal assistant (someone to do her work for her)... Want to train for it, then when you graduate, you can become a Teacher at Rosecrans and be my right hand?"

     Rebeca did not want to join the Army and stay by my side in school, so this offer sounded great, and teaching was one of her options, so she smiled gracefully, and said.

     "Headmistress, I would be happy to accept your offer."

     Freya heard Rebeca get scammed, rolled her eyes, and kept feeding me. Evil Loli was happy to find a paperwork slave, and then said to me, while watching the fights.

     "I am happy to see you have already reached the 3rd Circle. Falbium wants to come out and play, so when you are a bit stronger, you can meet him. I think before the school year ends, you should be able to break through to the 4th Circle. Then by your last year, you will reach the 7th Circle, assuming you do not slack off."

     Who wants to meet a Dracolich?! Damn, she really treats the Undead like the living.

     "Yeah, I would like to at least hit the 7th Circle mark by then, because that is the real threshold of becoming strong in this world."

     Thud Thud Thud! Just as Evelina was thinking of the day she showed up in front of Sam holding all of her debts in hand, to give to her new Master, another student came to us. The massive 15 foot tall, Doll, making thudding sounds behind her.

     Vera first greeted the Headmistress.

     "Greetings Headmistress, I am about to go up for my match, and I only wanted to say hello."

     Vera's blue eyes then locked onto me and she said.

     "Your match was to be expected, now I will follow up. Please do not forget our agreement. Watch my fight."

     She nodded to both Freya and Rebeca and said.

     "Greetings senior Rebeca Glen, and to you Teacher Starling, I guess I will also see you in the arena this year... Doll and I will not be easy to beat. I will take my leave..."

     At that moment, I had no idea most of my future harem was right there.

     Doll who has some intelligence, looked at me intensely with its glowing white eyes, and I could swear it wanted to punch me!

     Thud Thud Thud! And as the Summoner pair left, Rebeca asked the question all 3 women wanted to know...

     "Husband, what agreement do you actually have with the 7th Princess, Vera Lucas?"

     I am honest, so I hide nothing.

     "Vera and I both need to win this Tournament as 1st place. I cannot lose, and she needs the Grand Prize to not have a terrible future, so I promised the Grand Prize to her, because I do not need it. So, we both won. There is no way Freya will lose to Doll, not at 8th Circle power."

     Evelina remembered what Leonardo said, and nodded. She was impressed that little Leo could really read the situation between Me and Vera. she pouted at me and said.

     "Damn it, you were supposed to get gold for me with the Grand prize!"

     As I thought, she wanted the gold, so I said.

     "Well, if that is all you wanted, then I do not need to win this, right? I can just quit?"

     Her smile sent chills up my back, as she said cutely.

     "Did I say you could lose? Do you believe me when I say I will crawl into your lap in front of the whole City?"

     Cold sweats appeared, and remembering my fright in the restroom, I shook my head no, and said quickly.

     "Got it! It is 1st place or nothing!"

     She grins, but why is this world so cruel? Why is having a sexy Loli sitting in my lap a punishment... Wait, why do I even want her in my lap?

     I looked at her again, and her purple eye looked at me in expectation, and an absurd thought crossed my mind...

     Am I attracted to Evelina Lorelei?!

     Suddenly my heart skipped a beat, and I was stunned. As my pupils shrank in fear, she pointed to the arena and said to me, while smiling.

     "That little girl's fight is starting..."

     I was unaware that my face had almost blushed at the thought of making love to this old Evil Loli, and her words broke my delusion, so I turned my head to watch.

     The Headmistress, seeing my fluctuating face, only smiled more, realizing I was getting stronger, and feeling more clearly...

-

     Stage 7 was the one being magically projected and listened to, because it was of the 7th Princess Vera Lucas, so of course she got the crowds full attention.

     The opponent, who had her arms crossed, was a brown haired woman, who was in our Summoners class, Dial Canberra, the owner of the 4th Circle Hill Giant!

     This stunning woman named Dial is kinda like Vera's self-proclaimed rival.

     She is a proud noble daughter of a Duke. Her Hill giant is also 15 feet tall, wielding a finely made Great-club, and is wearing high quality man made leather beast armor. This Hill giant went from shabby to Pimp under the wealth of the Duke's family.

     Before the match finally started, the proud Duke's daughter said calmly while covering her mouth.

     "Oh my, if it is not my future Sister-in-law, Vera. It is adorable that we will face one another right at the beginning, sigh. Well, I guess my older Brother is destined to defeat you, and win this Tournament. Then with the Grand Prize, marry you ."@@novelbin@@

     Many onlookers have no idea what the Grand Prize is, but now they are excited, because this means it might be the Princess' hand in marriage?!

     But Vera calmly dismisses her.

     "Your Brother wins, no, he is not strong enough to win. Even if he could beat my Doll, he will never win the Tournament, because he is not talented enough. He was only fueled with gold, an empty shell of a Knight."

     Dial did not take Vera seriously and said to her Summoned Monster.

     "Do not hesitate, kill that Gold Golem and smash my opponent, for my Brother, haha."

     Vera with cold eyes said to Doll...

     "Prove to him we are strong, finish it in one move..."

     Doll's white eyes flashed, as it looked at the contestants seating area, and it nodded.

      [All Rings start in 3-2-1-Go~!]

     Vera stood behind Doll, and smiled...

     Thud Rumble Thud Rumble...! Suddenly, Doll and the Hill Giant charged one another, and as soon as the two were about to collide...

     Whoosh Bang! Doll, side-stepped the overhead swing of the Great-club, using the Northern Knight Kickboxing learned from Vera, ignoring the confused stupid Giant, and had instead, rushed to the stunned Dial...

     Swoosh SPLAT! All Dial saw in her dilated eyes was a giant golden palm coming swinging down on her stiff body, and then, waking up besides the Time Healer, as she was turned into meat paste in one move...

     [CHEEEEEER~!]

     The crowd went wild for the Princess' instant kill of the Duke's daughter, and upholding pure strength and an overwhelming posture.

-

     As I was impressed even more with Doll, I was shocked to find out Vera's skill in Kickboxing was better than mine!

     Just as I had this thought, of being out fought in pure hand to hand with her, her glance made its way to me, and I saw a smug smirk playfully grow on her lips.

     Damn, she actually looks good like that...
