It's been 5 days since i talked to any of them and damn did they seem super united!
They seem stronger than ever as a group.
Though, it's mostly the women.
At this point, the harem protag feels like an extra.
Well... ig it wasn't exactly a harem since they liked him and he rejected them.
Just like I liked them and was rejected.
Anyway
"Aah, I'm so excited!"
My mother seemed ultra excited today!
"Can't believed we are going on a trip!"
Same with my sister.
We took the normal car, rather than the SUV.
It was a 5 seater car.
Which i got for around 23500 Soli.
"Well, than let's get going shall we?"
We were going to 3 places.
A drive to the northern region's temple, after which We'll have lunch at a nice restaurant after that, we'll watch a movie.
All in all i just wanted to drive a car.
...
Aah... what a weekend it was!
It was fun... super fun, only to be dragged back to this aweful reality again.
The Summer Festival is right around the corner, and everyone is excited to participate.
Because, the tournament will be broadcasted live to all parts of the world and not only that but, It'll give us a good foundation for our future as the Empire's corps.
Or, we can join guilds or work independently aswell.
There are around 500 students in total for the 2nd years.
There will be individual battles, group battles and battle royale.
The individual battle is a tournament based game.
Where the 500 students are divided into groups of 5.
Where they fight against the 4 other opponents in that group and whoever comes in first will go to the 2nd round.
So, here's the format for individual games.
There ar e 5 in a group, they'll contest against each other and the one at the top of the table with the most points will go to the next round.
With 1 in each group, with a total of 100 groups.
There will be 100 individuals who'll go to the 2nd round.
which will also be fought in a group of 5.
Where the one who gets the most wins goes to the 3rd round
Which will have around 20 individuals remaining.
They too will be divided into groups of 5.
Thr same format with the one at the top going to the Next round.
In the 4rth round there will be 4 individuals remaining.
With 2 matches, semi final 1 and semi final 2... The 4th round will end.
Leading to the 5th and final round
THE FINAL.
Whoever wins the last round wins about 5 Million Soli... The runner up will win 3 Million soli while the 3rd position will win 1 Million soli.
The 4th one will win 5,00,000 Soli, with the remaining 16 getting 20,000 soli each.
the remaining 480 will get nothing.
That's the individual battle, while the team battle is as it suggests fought in teams.
Teams are either randomly decided or you can apply for a team of your own.
The number is limited to 5 and the lowest is 3.
Any lower than that and they'll just pick a team for you.
That's generally the team game..
The last and final one is the battle royale.
500 people will be thrown in the ariena.
There are 3 different arienas each for each student year.
This is the most anticipated tournament especially because the strongest from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years will come face to face against each other.
In a knockout tournament after the battle royale which will only take 10 survivers from each team.
These 30 students from all 3 years will form a team.
10 in each team signifying an academic year.
Will fight in what is called a teams of 3.
Where a class's year will be divided into 2 groups of 5
Nd that group will fight against an opponent group.
It's sort of like a team knockout battle.
Where the team which knocks out all the 5 members first will be the winner.
The last 15 will be shuffled into 3 different Groups
who will dual it out against the other 4 members in the group.
But this time, 2 from each group will go to the next round.
Which will be a best of 6.
The 6 will duke it out against each other and the 2 top students will fight in the final.
As you can see, it's a shuffle of all kinds of battles.
It's called the Mixed Shuffle Round.
"Well, now that the explanations are done! I Look forward to how everyone performs in the tournament."
She stated with a smile on her face as she glanced at certain people.
I wasn't one of them ofcourse.
...
"Well than... I'll be going mom."
I stated to my mom who was in the kitchen.
"Well, Good Luck."
"Yaa! See You!"
I stated as i opened the door and left the room.
It was the day of the tournament and i was quite excited.
*Engine start*
As i took the bike to the academy for the first time.
After riding for about 5 minutes i reached the academy.
I stopped the bike, took the keys out and started walking after i parked the bike.
I was so excited about the summer festival that i was feeling so anxious...
My bladder was gonna pop.
It was both about the battles and the fact that i could buy whatever i want in these stalls.
I aleays wanted to try them but... I couldn't because i could barely affort transportation tickets.
Being kidnapped was probably the best thing that happened in my life considering how much money i got.
after buying all the nececssary shit, i still had so much to spare, i didn't know what to do with it.
It's great that this world is somewhat of a parallel world to mine, since i can buy the things that i always wanted in my old world.
Though for some reason the setting itself is somewhat mediveal.
It's understandable, They have a strong sense of nobility... So, this was bount to happen.
The problem in this world arises because of the fact that, The noble families have way way way more influence than any political party.
And, nobility doesn't really indulge themselves with politics and no politician was strong enough to fight against the nobility.
So, even after having positions of the greatest heights, they wouldn't have enough to override a Noble's authority.
Due to their immense popularity.
And, obviously many people use that power for their own benefit.
Like i did.
Anyway, it seems i have went off topic.
*Smack*
"Aah, the fuck!"
I looked behind me and someone peeped from behind me, looking me straight in the eyes with a bright smile.
"Yoo! Step Bro!"
Aah... is this women drunk?
"...Hey, Serina! What brings you here today?"
I asked her, To which she grabbed my arm and pulled me somewhere.
"Hey, Hey, what the hell? Are you actually drunk?"
She took me into a secluded room and pushed me inside.
I could have easily stopped it but i didn't because i knew she wouldn't do Nythibg stupid.
Even if she was drunk.
"Your damn childhood friend... He rejected me again! He told me, that confessing to him so many times is making him uncomfortable. He said that the next time i confess to him again, he'd cut ties with me."
She said as she was weeping and sobbing relentlessly.
"Why Don't you sit down!"
I told her, as i grabbed her shoulder and put her down.
Shit! There's a match in 2 hours, i ain't got time for thisss!!!
"Sob Sob, What do i do... How do i convince him to like me??"
I was sick and tired of all this bullshit shenanigans.
I haven't talked to you for 7 shole days and this is the first thing you ask from me?
"You know... You should give up."
She got even more depressed as i said that.
If you ahowed even 1% of the care you showed him... I'd treat you so much better than him.
But... I'm objective.
I'll probably never receive any affection from her, unlike him... I'm ugly, unlike him I'm talentlesss.
Unlike him... I'm not a great noble.
My life is running on thorns but there are people who'll take those thorns to protect him.
On the other hand, the same people would throw me in those thorns and walk over me.
I Don't divulge in delusions, i only care about the reality at hand.
because, if i divulge in delusions it'll only make me go crazy and harm them somehow.
i... seruously don't wanna die in the hands of my loved ones.
Even if i were to die in their hands, I'd live to see regret and reluctance in their eyes as they end me.
"Even... Even after i helped you get those 100 million soli..."
"Come on, how can i even help you when you are the last thing that he prefers."
"You rude basta-"
"Fuck, I've had enough of you."
"Huh?"
She was momentarily shocked when i said that but i didn't stop.
"Help? Help? Did you help me when you fkin knew that Milana wasn't really into me? Did you ever help me when i really needed it from you? Heck... I almost lost my life... Th3 first fkin thing you did... was smack me in the gut!"
I said as i was about to walk out of the room.
But i halted
"I seriously don't know how to help you, Nor do i care enough to think of plans to do so. If you have nothing to say to me, just stop fkin bothering me."
It hasn't even been a week and i've successfully seavered ties with the 2 most important people in my life.
Tears were streaming down my eyes but i halted myself.
Crying for a women like that...
I Don't wanna be so damn pathetic.
