I Reincarnated as a Wicked Girl
Chapter 5. Magic Games: Rules of the Match
Previous Story:
Robert takes Eva to the Magic Tower. They went to Dean Wason to get information about the race. After listening to a bit of information and getting his badge, suddenly a teleportation magic appeared. And send them to the race place in the blink of an eye.
When Eva and Robert arrived, the rest of the team approached them. There was one stranger Eva did not know. A foreigner wearing Dean's robe. The foreign youth suddenly scolded them and it made Eva confused. Who is this additional character?
***
We followed them to the point. But, I was a little annoyed with the stranger. I looked at Robert annoyed "Who's that guy?" ask me in a whispering voice.
"Replacement of Dean Caro"
My pupils instantly widened in disbelief. Isn't Dean Caro's replacement Robert? Why be a stranger who never appears in a novel!
"Isn't that a master? What's going on?" many quick.
"Yes, a lot of things happened. I refused his offer. After I think about it again, I'd rather not get tied up and explore" Robert explained as he scratched his head awkwardly.
I still can't believe it but this reason makes sense. I knew Robert would explore the world after he helped Reina in the war with the Kano kingdom. Although it all happened because he was injured and his strength disappeared, it was also Robert's deepest wish.
"So so..."
Robert saw Eva. When he saw Eva's expression calm down, Robert just smiled. He suddenly brought his head closer and whispered into Eva's ear.
"Someday..Will you accompany me around the world?"
I was shocked again because of Robert's attitude. Robert's breath made my earlobes tingle and unconsciously my face flushed in embarrassment. Why would he do this? I don't know how to respond to this. Surrounding the world may be amazing, but it is also exhausting. And how could I possibly get a chance to circumnavigate the globe? My fate is still threatened in my own country. If I had survived my tragic fate, I would have tried to think about it. How do you explain that to Robert?
Seeing Eva not responding, Robert smiled slightly. "I'm just kidding, I'm not gonna force you. But you can think about it. I'll ask you again later"
I just nodded like a squashed rabbit. Ah~ I'm really embarrassed this time.
Because of that awkward conversation, we were silent for a few minutes. And finally, we arrived at the gathering point.
There's a lot of people here. All the participants and one mentor were gathered in this place. This gathering point looks like a large hall that has many stone seating. In the middle of the hall was a monument. On top of the monument was an old grandfather in a golden robe.
"Alright, you sit with your own group" he said.
Everyone immediately chose their seats. The hall was quite spacious, so there was no need to scramble for a seat.
Upon seeing the people already sitting neatly, the old man nodded. "Alright, I'll explain the rules of the game." He showed us an artificial dimension with magic.
"Wow, really sophisticated" I muttered in admiration.
It seems that substitute young man Dean Caro heard me and looked at me with a look of disdain. But I don't care about it.
"All of you will be transferred to this artificial dimension. You will be randomly distributed.You will also be given a life card. This life card cannot be destroyed, discarded or stolen. This card will show your status. Each card has 200 points. If your 200 points run out, you will be transferred out automatically. In this forest you have to survive from all sorts of magical beasts and also the enemy team. After you've got through everything and gone to the midpoint" he pointed to that midpoint. There's an altar there with four crystal balls on it.
"There are four crystal balls that indicate there are only four teams that will qualify. If the team gathered at the midpoint is more than four, then you need to fight for the crystal ball. You can use different types of magic. Magic tools are also not prohibited, but there are penalties. When you use a magic tool, automatically the points on your life card will decrease. Killing is strictly prohibited, you will be disqualified if you do. While we the council will be watching you from the monitor. And the mentors of each organization will watch the match in a different room. Okay, any questions?"
One of the witches raised his hand. "What if someone on one team loses? Is that team going to lose too?"
"No. You can continue to fight. As long as there is one representative from the team who obtained the crystal, then you are the winner. All right, is everything clear?"
Everyone nodded.
The old grandfather raised his hand and suddenly six parchment scrolls flew into each team.
"That's a map of this artificial world. I gave it to you so that you would know your own battlefield. All right, the match starts tomorrow. You can rest"
When the old man finished talking, suddenly a magic circle appeared under our feet. The magic circle filled the entire hall. And in an instant we began to be transferred to another room.
Eva and the other five people were transferred into the room like a small house. Inside this room were six other rooms. The other six rooms are the rooms of each participant.in the middle of the room that bejejer there is a small living room with a table and chairs. They even have some food on it.
All right, now it's time for a break. I want to sleep. I think it's really late now.
But when I wanted to step into one of the rooms, the new Dean clapped his hands and shouted. "Where are you going? Now it's time we think of a strategy" he said as he widened the map on the living room table.
I'm gawking in annoyance. Come on, I'm really sleepy right now.
Looking at Eva who was grunting and stomping her legs irritated, the new Dean's eyes narrowed. "What are you waiting for?!" said cynical.
Aghh!
I really want to beat up this shitty New Dean! But I kept his word and sat down.
