Hero From The Dark Dimension
Chapter 20: Stage 2 part 1 match test
4 weeks passed...
This morning, there was no sign of movement from the Hunt nobles. Raven was a bit suspicious, where maybe nobles like them were afraid of what she said yesterday. There's a little bit of concern for Raven.
"Did they really let go, sir? or there's something they're planning," he drifts away in worry.
This still did not lower the vigilance of a Raven. The care of Darius the more he tightened. In this situation, inevitably, he must be protective. To minimize the possibility of danger that can approach his master.
..."The second phase of the test will begin soon. It is expected for the participants/prospective knights to immediately gather in the lobby."...
The timing of the test has been announced. All the participants were already in the lobby. They only needed to wait for their names to be called, the moment it arrived, they would step into the arena to show their fighting talent.
All the test participants were very excited. They can't wait for their turn. Meanwhile, the knight Hunt from the royal era was busy spending his breakfast.
"Raven made me some delicious fried shrimp. The amount is too much, I really thank him for this delicious breakfast," said Darius.
He was sure to taste the cuisine. He did not realize that Hilda was already beside him.
"Hey, you brash man."
"GODDESS!!"
Darius fell backwards. Hilda's face that was still bandaged like a mummy suddenly appeared in front of her face. He was shocked to death.
"Why is your reaction like that? huh uh?" hilda asked, it looks so dark today.
"Oh.., I thought you were the undead," replied Darius, innocently.
Hilda growled at him. Darius' words were always not filtered out first.
"Are you sure you want to take a test match with that condition?" ask Darius.
"I am a nation of dragons, a wound like this won't set me back."
Pretty awesome reply. Hilda managed to make Darius feel salute to her. Almost all of Hilda's limbs were wrapped in bandages, but Hilda's movements looked normal. It was possible, his entire joint had already begun to recover. I don't know what about the wound.
"Stay, you still need treatment. Look at your body wrapped in bandages, I'm pretty sure that your wounds are still not fully healed. Go back to the hospital," said Darius. There was no way he would let Hilda fight under these conditions.
"This bandage is only to cover the scar. All the wounds on my body have healed completely. Your words are wrong" Hilda replied.
Darius raised his eyebrows...
"really? you sure?"
Darius was still very doubtful. Suddenly, Hilda threw a powerful kick towards Darius. Reflexes, Darius' hand instantly repelled his attack.
"Can sick people attack this strong?" hilda asked, full of confidence.
"Oh.., so you're really recovering from your injury."
He recovered faster than Darius had expected. From the outside, the match test supervisors have started calling the names of the participants one by one. All the participants are getting excited. The moments they were waiting for had arrived.
The first match to the 5th has passed and takes 4 hours. Darius and Hilda were still waiting for their turn to arrive.
Elsewhere, as the Director of K.A.O, Raven oversaw the contest. He sat in a special seat that had been provided, along with the Invandara Security Council. Raven watched closely, the fierce test match today. After a while, he saw something rare.
There is an unexpected figure who participated in watching the match test in this match-test stadium.
"That's it, Oriery Hunt. Tumben once he came here to witness the match test in person, "inner Raven.
Raven again turned the brain, how could a respectable figure who rarely appeared in public, now present to watch the match test. Isn't this awkward?
"He must have come here for another purpose, but what?"
Raven still can't reveal it...
...******************...
5 Hours have passed...
The turn of Hilda and Darius had not yet arrived. I don't know how long they have to wait.
"Once, what's it been all this time?"
Darius began to wonder, while Hilda....
"...........he.....fyuuu...."
"Sadly, this female dragon was very noisy," Darius was very uncomfortable with that snoring voice.
Amidst the uncomfortable nuance, there was the sound of footsteps approaching Darius. The footsteps came from the heels of a tall, blonde woman. All the eyes of the participants who were in the lobby, were directly focused towards the woman.
The beautiful woman confronted Darius with a fashionable look.
"Hi sir, remember me. I'm Catherine Magnera, remember?" ask Catherine.
Darius with a chin....
"Hmmm..., you're the woman who gave me a paper with your name on it and those obscure numbers, right?"
What Darius meant was a business card.
"Yes right, that's my card. Because you didn't call me at all, so I came straight here to see you. Hows it? did you accept my offer?"
Offer to join Sabertooth group. Catherine hoped big, she really wanted Darius to join her. Aside from Catherine being interested in Darius's extraordinary strength, she was also stunned at the knight's handsome face. Catherine wanted to know more about Darius Hunt.
"I'm glad you offered me this, but I'm sorry. I can't take it."
Instantly, Catherine was shocked by the answer she received. He thought that he would be able to get Darius easily. His rank as the leader of the Sabertooth group, apparently did not interest Darius at all to join him.
"T.. but why?" ask Catherine.
"I decided to find my own groupmate. Well, I've heard that you're the leader of one of the city's greatest knight groups. But if I get into your group and instantly become famous and respected, it doesn't feel exciting at all. So I decided to start over" Darius replied.
Being a member of Sabertooth would indeed bring high authority and a sense of respect instantly to Darius, because of course what was allowed to enter the Sabertooth group was a great knight only. But for Darius, it didn't give him the excitement of working hard. That was why she rejected Catherine's offer.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept the offer" Darius said.
Catherine bowed gloomily, the people around her stared silently. They had just witnessed a Catherine Magnera, the leader of the Sabertooth group, had just been rejected. Though they all hope to join the group of the greatest knights in Tideo. This is very different from Darius.
"B. okay, I appreciate your decision. See you soon."
Catherine withdrew, she left with a deep gloomy feeling. This made Darius feel bad for him.
..."The next player to fight is Darius Hunt."...
Darius' turn arrived, he immediately took his beloved sword and went straight into the arena.
"I hope, my opponent this time can make me challenged," Darius inner.
...***************...
Now, Raven is no longer focused on match testing. Right now, he was worried about his master. He was worried that the presence of Queen Oriery would be a sign that Hunt's nobles had planned something. Butwhat?
..."The next player to fight is Darius Hunt."...
Darius appeared, along with his name. All the spectators cheered for Darius. They had so much admiration for this knight, that they had amazed them with the first stage battle test match, a few weeks ago.
..."Then that would be his opponent, a reliable Caster of the Hunt nobility. Evoryo Hunt's."...
"What?!"
Raven was shocked, hearing that the opponent her master was going to face was a Hunt. The figure of Evoryo Hunt also appears, he wears a robe of honor that only high-class magicians get. Even on his right chest was the Iberyon badge (a badge only obtained by witches who had graduated from the witchcraft training of the Hunt nobles). Now, it is revealed that the plans of the Hunt nobles. Raven was too late to notice.
"So then, the damn Queen sent one of her best subordinates to get into the K.A.O test match. In this way, he can harm the master without causing a conflict with K.A.O. What a cunning," Inner Raven.
What was even more astonishing was, why could Evoryo Hunt be Darius' opponent? is this a coincidence? lekas Raven checked the route data for the second stage of the match.
It is written that Darius' opponent is now Nielkov Sonva of the Elementalia race. But why is the opponent Evoryo Hunt?
"Fuck, he must have done something to the officer who set up the match route. Thus, his subordinates can become opponents of lord Darius," Raven grumbled, full of annoyance.
Unfortunately he could not do anything, because the match was already set. A smile of satisfaction was engraved on the cunning face of Queen Oriery.
"Come, destroy that brash young man," the inner Queen accompanied with a grinning smile.
Meanwhile, an Evoryo Hunt had been fully prepared to carry out his Queen's cunning orders.
"On the Queen's orders, I'm Evoryo Hunt to punish you for your indecency with the Queen and for the illegal use of Hunt's name. Get ready, Darius, "inner Evoryo.
Seriate.....
