Roped Fate
Ch.69: Contest Started

The day also welcomed a bright morning. Riko woke up early because of her great spirit and ambition. He really wants to be stronger, so he doesn't want to miss the most important times.

When both of Riko and Rion's elite children had finished getting ready, they both went to the practice room to warm up before they left for their destination, the exorcist level archery contest hall.

When the two of them were gathering and training in the room, suddenly came someone who came to interrupt the activities of the two.

"Riko! Rion!" exclaimed the middle-aged man who was standing in front of the door.

"Uncle Sen?" reply Rion flat.

"Dad!" riko is more excited.

Then the father came to them both, as well as the two children there, especially Riko who just ran and hugged her father.

"Dad! why is it so long ago to come home, I miss you so much" whined Riko who was so spoiled.

"Father there is still a lot of busyness, so can't always meet you," replied his father gently.

"Hmm, why are you always so busy! I'm so bored" protested Riko who was a little upset.

"You're grown up now, boys can't be whiny, you have to be strong and independent like your brother Rion, at least until your father's busy life is a little less, huh?" pinta.

"Alright, I've been stronger .. It's just that I still miss you," replied Riko rather sadly.

"Yes, I miss you too and Rion .. so be patient until the father's business is done" the father replied as he rubbed Riko's head.

"Ready dad!" exciting Riko.

"Oiya, Rion what about you? is all the preparation complete?" ask her father to make sure she gets back.

"Uncle ... Both my equipment and Riko, everything is complete, we only need a little warm-up practice before leaving later," replied Rion with a calm intonation.

"Why still call me uncle, now I am your father! just like Riko, I love you too .. So there's no need to hesitate," said his father gently.

"Thank you, you're very kind .. but I hope one thing .. please don't love me, that way I've forgiven you and looked well at Riko, she needs you more than I do," rion replied rather coldly.

"Don't be so son, even if it's not a biological child but I'm fair to both of you" said the father.

"Therefore, forget it. .. I'm no one, don't take myself too seriously, '" Rion replied calmly emotionlessly.

Seeing the less pleasant reaction and answer from her stepbrother, Riko felt a little annoyed by her attitude towards the father.

"Rion, you don't have to think about me so much.. Be normal, I won't be angry or sad. .. You can think of my father as your father too and don't argue anymore," sela Riko is uncomfortable with Rion's reaction.

"You still don't understand anything, but that's it! if you really want that then I will do it, I will call him 'father' as well" Rion replied calmly.

"Well, you guys don't argue anymore .. Before we leave, I have something for both of you" said the father.

At that moment the father immediately showed a pair of beautiful objects to the two of them.

"A pair of crystal earrings? what's dad for?" ask Riko plain.

"Dad gave this thing to you two, one to Riko and the other to Rion, take it!" exclaimed the father with a warm smile on his face.

"Emm, good dad!" riko replied obediently.

Both of them also received the object and intend to wear it during the contest, the object shows about the tightness of their brotherhood.

"Wear it! don't worry, these earrings use a magnetic system, so you can use them at any time" explained the father.

"Alright dad!" answer both compact.

Because they both agreed, the father also helped to dress her directly. Right for Riko and left for Rion.

Some time had passed, after all the preparations were done, they immediately prepared to leave for the destination.

Today Diana did not join them on the trip because as a special committee, she might be more busy to have to come much earlier than the three of them.

Arriving at the destination, they immediately walked towards the front hall. Without paying attention around Riko was made surprised by the appearance of someone who suddenly stood in front of him.

"Yes! wayward boy ... How was your day, has it been?" ask that someone.

"Heh, come also the rancid boy .. and yes, as you can see .. I am 100% ready," replied Riko confidently.

"Hmm, as arrogant as ever, yes, for a long time you even look like a very chatty girl," the boy replied.

"Ahh, stop! just look at my match later and you will see how great I have been all this time" Riko replied without lowering her spirits.

"Have ... I believe you will definitely display something extraordinary today, yes .. although I have seen it many times when we practice together," he said rather lazily.

"Then just go straight in let's not waste a lot of time" said Riko who immediately took a step forward.

Vigorously and confidently, Riko walked upright towards the front hall. The father also resumed his steps, as well as Rion. However, in his few steps when he passed by Riko's mysterious friend earlier, the boy patted Rion's shoulder and whispered to him.

"Hey, are you doing well today?" ask the child before finally leaving without further ado.

Rion only stared at him from a distance, although his expression only looked flat, he was quite responding to the words of the boy earlier in his mind.

Until before turning around and following his half-sister, in the emptiness he replied.

The opening of the contest was immediately held, Riko and Rion began to prepare while waiting for their turn to appear.

Contest matches are very tight, the appearance of each contestant is also very interesting, each of them certainly has its own uniqueness. Riko who was still sitting watching also felt a little nervous, they were all strong rivals, of course Riko did not want to lose this match.

"Look at the score of the participants who were performing it, really great is not it! we must not let our guard down a bit," muttered Riko as he watched one of the contestants.

"Yes, then fight! the two numbers after this are you, stay focused and don't forget your ambition" Rion replied as he cheered Riko on.

"Obviously, I also do not want to lose this match" said Riko firmly.

A few minutes have passed, the number of contestants who have not appeared has also decreased, this time it is Riko's turn. He was really nervous as he entered the arena, but even so his spirit was still fiery.

When appearing, Riko looks so careful .. he pulls the arrows with high concentration until releasing the arrows full of calculations, so that each shot is very accurate to the point of target.

In the crowd there were many cheers from relatives and friends, especially training partners. He was so excited and full of positive energy. It makes Riko more calm and relaxed.

Riko's current score was perfect and the remaining arrows were few, so he didn't want to mess up his final shot.

Still in a pretty stressful situation, Riko took a breath and tried to slow down the tempo of her shot.

To this extent ... Riko still maintains the perfect score, for that in the last shot he should not miss to maintain his highest score.

While trying to calm down, Riko immersed in his heart that he should not lose his own match, which is to achieve a perfect score. Even if this time he misses slightly from the center of the target, he still has the highest score.

However, the victory he had hoped for was a perfect value without anyone missing, therefore he risked it all on the final arrow.

"Basic! the boy was not only annoying but also crazy, he was really serious when it came to liking, I was very impressed.

After long enough to determine the shot, Riko finally released her last arrow. How outcome?

Finally the audience cheered, Riko managed to solve the target he set himself, which is perfect value. He actually made all his shots hit the target point exactly.

Then he saluted and thanked her before leaving the arena, then returning to his previous seat.

"Riko you did it! you are the best!" rion was proud.

"Don't be happy first, you got the last sequence number ... really unlucky," replied Riko who was a little unsettled.

"The last appearance is the worst, when your energy and emotions are drained on the appearance of participants who have performed, of course as the last participant will be under enormous pressure, he said, in addition, you also feel tired .. chances are it will make you unable to focus and perform optimally," replied someone who suddenly emerged from the crowd.

"Eh, the rancid play nongol! excuse me cake, " protest Riko.

"Ahahaha, this place is free and open...The others are also huddled and wandering, I can pass anywhere without having permission every want to pass," he said.

"Curtain! bodo very," said Riko rather upset.

"Yes, stop! whatever it is .. I will try as much as possible, it is my position is less favorable, but for sure I will compete in earnest," said Rion with a flat expression.

"To win second place, I just don't want to be a witness when you kill your own mother if you lose this contest" added Riko who was a little worried.

"Um, don't worry .. Mom might punish me, but it's not as bad as you think .. I think she'll just give me more warning and more rigorous training, '" Rion casually replied.

"Then fight, the rest is up to you" said Riko indifferently.

"Hmm, these two boys are indeed troublesome nature .. make a look at it," muttered friend Riko earlier.

"Dhh! do not be noisy anymore, we just pay attention to the appearance of each participant, especially the participants who are performing at this time ..the score is competing with me, maybe the second position at this time is him, this is critical! his position is almost perfect, Rion you can't lose to him!" riko looked a little worried.

"Just calm down, I'll try even harder" said Rion with a slightly forced smile.

"Have .. because it's not your sister's turn yet, so I'll relax back, I'm lazy to pay attention to the other participants, bye bye!" exclaimed Riko's friend earlier with a rather lazy intonation.

"Hell up!" riko reply brief.

After finishing with the brief debate earlier, they returned to focus on paying attention to each participant who was performing.

For the second position is currently being held by Ginz Leo, who has just appeared stunning with an extraordinary score. Although it has not been able to surpass Riko's score, but with the achievement of that other participants may be difficult to be able to seize the second position from him.

The time that continues to roll begins to lower despair for those who have long waited while watching the game from various participants, until arriving at the final stage for unlucky participants.

Rion is the last number of participants, he even looks quite exhausted before the match, besides that his health impact is not good since a few days ago makes his condition weaker than usual.

"Rion, it's your turn!" riko shouted a little tense.

"Ms."

Finally it was Rion's turn to display his skills, he immediately walked towards the arena with an expression that remained calm.
