Almekia Kingdom
62. Zircon - Ruby's

The match that will take place next is a match between Ruby's second representative against Yuna. The girl called yuna walked leisurely towards the committee at the hangar gear border as soon as her name was called.

Shortly after from the waiting room screen I could see the blue gear used by the second Ruby representative facing the white gear driven by Yuna in the match arena.

When both have been introduced and declared ready the referee immediately started the match. The blue gear remained silent in place while Yuna's white gear charged at her with a continuous and indiscriminate attack.

But it turns out that unexpectedly, the blue gear can fend off all Yuna's attacks. Ah that fighting style, I'm more and more convinced that this second representative of Ruby is Opal.

He is indeed the type of fighter who is not aggressive, he prefers to defend, observing the ability and weakness of the opponent first before finally attacking back. He would think carefully what kind of attack would be most effective to use against his enemy.

I don't know that sometimes I can't follow Opal's complicated path of mind either. He was too smart and thought too much about everything before acting. Sometimes it's not even important.

After a few minutes had passed finally the blue Opal gear could curl up Yuna's white gear. Rumbling screams and applause reverberated throughout the hall. Basic Opal, he should be able to defeat Yuna easily without having to waste such time. I can see that Yuna's ability is not so great, far below Opal's combat ability.

The committee called my name and Victor. A very burly man resembling a grizzy bear smiled mockingly at me, walking with me towards the hangar.

"Zirc's spirit you can do it" Saphir shouted from behind. And I gave a thumbs up in response to Saphir. A little embarrassed by his way of giving too much spirit.

I found a red gear waiting for me in the hangar with an officer. "This is your gear, please prepare," said the officer welcoming me.

I nodded in response and immediately jumped into that red gear coccoid. Yesampun gear is really severe, dilapidated, and completely below safety standards.

I don't know how long this gear has been used to fight in this tournament without repair and maintenance of damaged spare parts. This gear should have been a piece of junk, but it was still used to fight like this.

I turned on the computer and I found out that the gear was so slow to respond to commands. Even the computer screen in front of me was already very blurry. After setting some buttons in the cockpid gear I immediately pushed this red gear out of the hangar and landed in the middle of the arena.

Shortly thereafter Victor landed his green gear in front of me. The referee asked for our readiness before finally stating the match had started. My opponent immediately lunged ferociously, swinging the super-heavy mace that became his weapon.

I turned my gear to the right and left to avoid the attack. I took advantage of the momentum as he paused for a moment. Given that his weapon was extremely heavy, he definitely needed a little time to improve his position.

Put my gear behind Victor's gear, I kicked him to a few feet in front of me. He tried to stand up, but before he could fix his position I hit him and I thrust my sword into the chest of the gear.

There was a short circuit on my opponent's gear before he finally declared surrender and the referee declared victory for me. I could hear the shouting and applause of the crowd welcoming my victory.

I parked my gear back to the hangar. Get out of that gear and walk casually out of the hangar towards the wait. I approached Jasper and Saphir who were waiting for me with a big smile.

"Yay, the three of us managed to escape all of Zirc," Saphir leaped in excitement. He hugged me and Jasper and was so happy.

"yeah. But the next round will be more dangerous" I replied a little horrified to imagine Saphir having to compete against Ruby's first representative.

"There is no need to think what will happen later" Saphir did not want to lose.

"Saphir is right Zirc. For now we enjoy our victory" Jasper agreed.

"Let's eat and drink as much."

I didn't reply or comment on their party plans, I wasn't interested. I prefer to re-observe the ongoing match from the screen in this waiting room.

I don't want to miss who will be my next opponent. At least I can get a little picture of how strong my enemy will be. Not long after the game ended and Valeria managed to win it. Then I have to fight him in the next round.

That night somehow I couldn't close my eyes. Even after eating and drinking as much as a celebration party was still not able to make me sleepy. Though my body was very tired because I spent all day at the tournament hall.

I am so relieved and grateful that the three of us were finally able to enter into the top eight. But another anxiety struck and haunted me. Another fear struck upon thinking the next round would be held the day after tomorrow.

How will Saphir have to fight the first representative of Ruby? The representative of Ruby was a very formidable gear master. Sapphire can't possibly beat him. It will definitely lose.

All I know is that she's definitely not Opal. Even Opal would not be that easy to slash and knock out an opponent's gear with a single swing of the sword like the first representative Ruby had done earlier. He was a level even further from Opal, from the level of a sergeant.

Not to mention Jasper, will he be fine later when fighting Jade? I don't know what Jade is capable of, but it's clear to me that he's a very cruel and sadistic man.

Is Jasper gonna be okay? I didn't expect much of him to beat Jade. It is the same as expecting the impossible. I just hope that he can get through that fight safely. Just surviving is enough.

Because my eyes were not closed, I decided to take a short walk to get some fresh air outside. Looking for something to see or just spend time on the streets of the city.

At first glance I saw Jasper and Saphir had fallen asleep on their doble beds, turning their backs and sleeping in a position very sidelined on both sides of the bed. Well maybe they are also exhausted after a day of activity. It's worth it to sleep that late, and without the burden? Base them on this. They don't even want to bother thinking about what they are facing later.

I left our inn room slowly so as not to wake them up. I saw the wall clock in the wish lobby showing at 12:15 p.m. It's been quite a night, it's appropriate that no one is there at all, only the receptionist is sitting asleep at his desk while occasionally snoring loudly.

Kususuri the streets around Bloody Hell are getting dreary because it is covered in the dark of the night. I breathed in the cold night air, cleared my brain, walked and continued to walk through the city. Walk and keep going in no direction.

Somehow without me realizing I had reached the place where I met the red-haired girl a few days ago. Why am I here? Was it my subconscious that led me here? Wh why? Do I wish I could find that girl here again? Found Ruby?

Slowly and faintly I could hear a silent song from above me. The sound of melodious incense carried away by the night wind.

I held my head up looking for where the voice came from. Kontan can feel a strange sigh in my face when I find a body figure there. The person I was looking for and expected to meet.

The girl is wearing black tonight. He was sitting on one of the roofs of the building, raising his head to look at the full moon shining brightly. The girl hummed and sang.

His long red hair seemed to be flying danced around in the night wind. Her pure white skin like marble increasingly shines reflecting the light of the moon. Canti, it's so gorgeous...It's not wrong that she's that girl, Ruby
