Almekia Kingdom
54. Zircon - Tournament

Today is the day we've been waiting for, the day that the Bloddy Hell tournament will be held. Tournaments are held once a year to choose the strongest people who will get many prizes and all the privileges. Especially the privilege of being able to enter the middle part area which from the beginning became our main goal. To be able to meet Obsidian's uncle.

After making sure of our preparations, I invited Jasper and Saphir to have breakfast at the inn cafe. Just to increase our energy intake which will have to compete in a martial tournament. Charge the energy reserves so that we can fight optimally and expend energy in without difficulty.

In order to disguise the appearance of being inconspicuous, we deliberately wore clothes like most of the residents of Bloody Hell. I wear long pants, sleeveless singlets combined with a shirt. Even Saphir was also wearing similar clothes, a white tank top and a black red checkered shirt combined with jeans.

As soon as we arrived at the City hall, hundreds of people had already crowded the place. Various kinds of people, ranging from teenagers, young people, middle-aged to old age also exist. Most of them look cruel and sadistic, like criminals.

I led Jasper and Saphir from the middle of this human crowd, to the registration place. There was a queue snaking in front of the registration room and the three of us also had to queue there patiently.

For almost an hour we waited in line until we finally got a registration turn, facing the officer.

"Say your name,"

"I'm Zircon and they're my two younger brothers Jasper and Saphir. The three of us want to sign up for the tournament." I said our names without a last name.

No one wants to recognize and know our background from a little famous last name. The same last name as the Royal Minister of the Almekia Kingdom, was too conspicuous and suspicious. And it seems the officer did not bother him.

"OKs. Here's your ticket" he handed me three tickets.

The three of us then dodged the crowd. A few minutes later the big screen in the middle of the room lit up and displayed a beautiful red-haired woman.

'Eh? She is that girl. The mysterious red-haired girl with her brute nature.'

"Hello everyone, good morning. I'm Ruby Nightray, let me represent my father to open this year's tournament." The initial greeting and introduction was made by the girl.

So her name is Ruby? A name that fits him perfectly. Ruby which means red gem, the color that is suitable for the girl's hair which is also bright red.

"The tournament will start at exactly midday for the first preliminary round. The next round will be scheduled to follow. Tournament rules remain the same as in previous years. You are free to beat each other up and kill each other. More specific rules will be explained later," Ruby revealed a mysterious cynical smile.

"There's been a slight change for this year's tournament prize. For anyone who managed to win this tournament will be ensured to get a house and other facilities in the middle part as usual."

"For a special addition, for the winner of the tournament when a woman she is, will be my brother. And when he's gonna be my husband, marry me... Already well, happy fighting for you all" Ruby ended her speech by sharing her sweet smile.

The thunderous rumbles gradually sounded as soon as Ruby finished her sentence. Almost all the men in the room cheered excitedly and excitedly, clapping even some whistling. Apparently Ruby is quite popular as well, a lot of men who want to marry her. Make that woman his wife.

It is undeniable that Ruby has a very beautiful face. The color of his hair red light adds uniqueness to his face, making it look more fresh and pleasing to the eye. His posture is also no less tempting and without a doubt displayed with sexy clothes that he wears. And one more thing, it seemed like she was the daughter of the most influential person in this city.

With everything owned by Ruby certainly not a few men who fall in love even crazy about him. Maybe she would do anything to make him a wife.

And me? I'm a normal guy too. Of course I don't mind marrying her either, hehe.

"ASSHOLE! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS" arrived2 a man shouted furiously, from the direction of the crowd. The screams that made him at once the center of attention.

"You can't be alone, Ruby. I'm gonna leave this tournament" the man stormed into the registration section. No matter the long queue, just grabbing.

"But, but Mr. Jade. Miss Ruby will definitely be angry later," the registrar did not dare.

"Fuck her, I'll take care of Ruby myself" replied the man.

"Okay, Mr. Jade." The officer finally relented.

Then the man who turned out to be named Jade, passed away with emotion.

Who's the guy? His face was quite handsome but looked very firm and ruthless. He could also arbitrarily cut the registration queue, and could command the committee at will.

And what bothers me the most is her relationship with Ruby. Why would he want to foil Ruby's plan? Why is he so angry that Ruby will marry the winner of this turamen?

"Nightray's? That girl's name is Nightray? He must be related to Obsidian Nightray. The man we're looking for." Saphir's words were able to disperse my daydream instantly.

"really. Maybe she was the daughter of Obsidian's uncle. Obsidian's uncle was the leader of this city, who used to open annual tournaments. If Ruby said she represented her father. It is certain that she is the daughter of Obsidian's uncle". Jasper chimed in more excitedly.

"That means whatever way we have to win this tournament" I added agreeing to the conclusion of their thinking.

Both Saphir and Jasper nodded in agreement. Well good this means that the closer we get to our destination, the brighter the point of our search.

Right at noon the deafening siren sounded. Marking the end of the registration session and the start of the tournament preliminary session.

"To all participants of the tournament please enter the hall. There will be a battle royal. Please fight as you please and at your will, all forms of sharp weapons are released except firearms. And in this first session it was strictly forbidden to kill. Anything is done except murder. If you keep killing and eating names you will be disqualified and in the black list for good can not join the tournament."

"This preliminary round battle will end when the sun sets. Only the 11 people who managed to survive would advance to the next round. And the battle royal will start as soon as the siren sounds".

Coinciding with the end of the announcement, the hall door opened, immediately hundreds of tournament participants flocked into the room.

I rushed Jasper and Saphir into the room, reminding them not to split up no matter what. We have to protect each other, until the end of tournament time. Must ensure each other's safety and ensure to qualify for the next round together as well.

As soon as all participants entered the room, the door of the room was immediately closed and locked from the outside. The AC chimneys begin to circulate cool air. And the super-large digital clock monitor on the wall showed 5.00.00. Then we have to fight battle royal for 5 hours nostop?

I looked at my surroundings, there were roughly a hundred more people in this room. Meaning to get eleven winners we have to beat them all? Defeating this many people?

Not long after that a deafening second siren sounded. The contours of the hall atmosphere became rowdy, boisterous, shouting everywhere.

And the Bloddy Hell Tournament has begun.
