章節 67: Colosseum
"Ohhh are you guys done?!" we should finish early and make our way abit earlier to get good seats!" Daisy suggested looking at everyone.
"Good idea!" Jay said quickly scoffing down the remaining food on his plate.
"Yeah I'm pretty much done" the rest of us replied.
"Lets go Daisy." Leading the way.
"So what do you guys wanna do on our day off?.." I asked.
"Hmmm... I need to somehow make some gold visit home." Jay said, "So.... I'll probably take a visit to the schools bounty board.. Or the local towns bulletin board..." Jay replied.
"Is it okay if I come along?.." I asked him feeling unsure as he only said he will be going.
"Sure..." He replied.
"We can all go!..... I'm sure we all need some gold anyways..... And I'm sure with all our abilities we can probably get alot done!" Grace suggested.
"Yeah.... I want to experience and see what the rest of the world is like.." I added.... "But how do we get off Campus?..." I asked.
"Someone told me there should be a small building setup to allow students to travel to neighbouring towns and villages." Jay answered.
Entering the Colosseum we made our way through the foyer, it was filled with many bustling students all queuing up to several sets of double doors. "This line seemed to be going faster!" Daisy pointed and quickly running to the end of the line to hold the spot.
"Everyone seems so excited..." I said looking at the loud excited atmosphere of all the students.
"Aren't you?..." you probably get to see first-hand the use of spells and fighting in combat!" Daisy replied as excited as everyone else.
"You're probably right... the S-rank demonstrations was pretty awesome..." I replied remembering how exciting and frightening it was to see Paul and Scarlet fighting.
Looking carefully at the other students some had a Tattoo of the House creatures on their hand or shoulder, the Phoenix Tattoos seemingly more common in groups but the other two were in smaller groups of two to three friends or alone.
"Eventually we arrived at the terminal before the double doors with a small computer. Taking peep over Jays shoulders to look at the screen, he typed how many members in our party and was then given a set of areas to pick from. "Where do you guys wanna sit?" he asked.
"Ohh Ohhh north side... so we don't have the sun glaring in our faces!" Helen asked.
"Sure." he said tapping on the north side of the Colosseum, and proceeded to lead the way through the double doors.
We all followed him into the Colosseum magically appearing on the I assume the north facing side of the Colosseum, even arriving earlier then the bell the Colosseum was still pretty packed. It took us a few minutes but we eventually navigated our way through finding a set of seats we could all sit together Jay Daisy and I at the front and Helena and Grace behind me.
"Woah..... This is crazy..." I said looking around the Colosseum at all the students spectating today, "Why does there seem to be more people here than the dining hall??.." I asked.
"Hmmm maybe some members of public are allowed to join.. " Jay said also looking around after hearing my question.
All this reminded me of an American Football game... there were even robots patrolling certain routes selling merchandise and Food, and getting paid with gold coins. "Hmmm looks like the school uses this opportunity to make gold..." I said noticing the robot.
"Hmmmm Look like it..... Atlantis needs to make gold one way or another.... The other schools also have their ways to make gold...." Helen said.
I began imagining myself down there ... in an epic battle absorbing the electrifying atmosphere and crowd cheering me on chanting my name.
Around 10 minutes passed we chit chatted till the sound of bells rang in our head then waited a further 5 minutes when someone walked into the Colosseum from the side into the centre causing everyone to slowly fall silent waiting for her start her announcement.
Suddenly a loud booming voice blasted out, "Welcome everyone to the First Later Summer Atlantis Games!" She yelled causing everyone to roar in cheer.
"So this year we are gonna mix things up abit..... We will be introducing Team Battles, Battle Royal and Team Battle Royal!" The woman carried on Announcing to everything causing every to being chatting.
"For the reaming weeks of Later Summer we will stick to the normal Schedule of One on One Dueling and introducing the changes on Early Winter, so all Students wanting to participate please register yourselves and your teams in the follow week!" She announced.
"HOLY CRAP!!! We can do the TEAM BATTLES!!!" Daisy suggested looking extremely excited…..
"OHHH man if we find a second Cleric..... we would have such a strong setup!!!" Grace added.
"We have 5 C-rank duels as well as 3 B-ranks and 4 A-ranks lined up Today Lets give our first contestants a big hand of applause... "Rank 440 Jakob Fuchs" as a well-dressed student walks in with a long rob with a weird looking glove, "VS Rank 378 Perucho Martil!!!!" she yelled as another cloaked individual entered juggling a dagger in one hand with a long sword on his side. The whole stadium erupted in cheer and excitement as two students met at the centre taking a bow to each other before walking back a little assuming a stance ready for battle. The Announcer Girl took a good few steps back a fair distance away from the two "3...2...1.... BEGIN." She yelled as both contestants started their actions.
Perucho instantaneously threw down a handful of balls causing a thick black smoke to appear obscuring our vision of him. While Jakob reached into his robe and throwing out a small metallic device causing the thick black smoke to dissipate into a thin mist revealing the silhouette of Perucho, instantaneously two daggers came flying out the smoke sinking deep into Jakob's shoulder and arm causing him to step back a little in pain, but with a smirk he pulled out a trigger giving it a click causing the device to explode with a bright blinding white light bright enough to even make me look away slightly. Turning back Perucho scattered two handfuls of balls causing a larger wall of dense black mist to being manifest. Jakob still smirking put some goggles and a mask rolled in a handful of balls which instantaneous releasing a thick green smog barely visible behind the dense black smoke. Out of the smoke Perucho came running out Sword in hand swinging at Jakob savagely carving into him but causing no damage making Jakob instinctively step back lifting his hands to shield himself. Somehow a second Perucho came dashing out quickly flanking Jakob catching him off guard sinking a dagger deep into his exposed back straight into his kidneys, causing Jakob to let out a loud scream bending back in pain. Perucho still unrelenting in his attacks pulled the dagger out and sank it deep into Jakob's shoulder the forcing Jakob to the floor, pulling out his long sword he held it above his neck for a few seconds before re-sheathing it back to his side and began walking off, the First Percho now standing there lifeless faded into nothingness as if it was an illusion.
"And the winner is Perucho Martil!!!" the announcer spoke out causing the silent Colosseum to erupt in a loud cheer. Several students began rushing to Jackob applying bandages to his wounds while touching his with golden yellow glowing hands and quickly putting him on a stretcher taking him away.
"Ohhh my God.... that was alot bloodier then I expected...." I said witnessing the whole fight slightly horrified and scared at the whole spectacle.
