Chunibyo’s Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 54 Red's Master Plan.
[quatz- HEY!!!! WAKEUP!!! ASSHOLE!!! THE MATCH IS GONNA START!!!]
hope- mmm…what match?
hope rubbed his eyes as he said that, he was now feeling good and fresh after sleeping so long.
hope- oh yes the match! what happened to it?
[quatz- you sure slept tight partner… sigh… now listen to me as I know the rules of this event.]
quatz explained the rules of this tournament and it’s point system, he also explained the event that Red was playing right now.
[hope- I really used to feel that you are a dumbass but now it has changed, as one requires brain to hold this much information and you proved it to me, that you have one.
quatz- rooaaaaaaaaarrrrRRR!!!!!
hope- ouch…my head hurts stop it, I was joking!
quatz- hmph, this the power of dragon god of destruction, hahaha!!
hope- the power to give headache?
quatz- you want one again!!?
hope- okay now let me see Red, jokes aside.]
a man had started walking towards a bell to bang it with the stick in his hand, as the sign of announcement to start the fight.
as the bell was banged, clones appeared in the town as per the rules stated.
Lola- let “Hidden” begin.
hope started spectating the match with all his concentration on the screens infront of him, he didn’t care what red did, he wanted to know the types of magic this world had.
hope saw that a woman just did a suicide to her point, by hugging a clone, ‘probably a love affair or something’ he thought, then he continued observing, he saw many people were tricked into attacking copies and some even ignored the real ones.
hope- why are those guys talking openly! copies can’t talk idiots!
hope was frustrated for how foolishly they were playing, Red was acting like a copy waiting for something.
hope saw a guy who blew everyone as he stood on the top of pillar in the artificial town and scored a lots of points with his spell called ‘memory make’, but that guy didn’t hit red for some reason.
hope- was it because Red is acting as a clone?
only 10 mins were left for the match and hope saw Red finally moving and all the participants falling on the ground.
hope- he has done it now…sigh…easy win.
what Red had done was make everyone in the fighting arena go to sleep, the clones did not sleep as they were just clones, now all Red had to do was touch the participants sleeping on the ground.
[hope- fvking dragon of dreams…so OP!!
quatz- I don’t want to hear that from you.]
everyone watching the match had gone shocked by just what happened!
Rogue- t-this guy did the same with you sting.
Sting- t-this is that guy!!?
…..
Makarov- what’s with that power!!!!
Mavis- he is not normal.
…..
everyone in the arena had started talking about him…
while the participants wanted to know more about this person and his powers to compete him in future.
…..
after perfect 10 mins everyone woke up, only to know that the game was over.
Lola- TIME’S UP!
the town disappeared as the announcement was made.
Red had touched each person perfect 10 times, so that there won’t be a difference in others points, thier points did go in negative but the balance as first 20 mins was maintained.
Lola- here are the rankings!
1st Exotic Nexus
2nd Sabertooth
3rd Raven Tail
4th Lamia Scale
5th Blue Pegasus
6th Mermaid heel
7th Fairy tail B
8th Fairy tail A
…
Red walked to his booth and sat beside hope.
hope- good work and nice strategy to take 10 points from each.
Red- thank you young master, your praise means a lot and I didn’t wanted to move thier rankings bcoz of me, I just took what was mine.
…
Lola- last 10 minutes of game, changed everything! Red who was just acting as a clone, turned the whole event in his favour!!!
Yajima- Red’s strategy of taking 10 points shows how much sportsman spirit he has!
…..while
people from the spectator grounds had started booing Fairy tail as thier both teams came last in this event, and thier teammates were fired up and some depressed!
…..
Lola- and now we continue to the battle part! a member from each team will fight a single match, this isn’t a tournament.
Jenny- the sponsors decide the pairings right?
Yajima- I just hope the match ups are interesting.
Lola- I’ve just received the list of matches! the first match of day one! From Fairy tail A, Lucy Heartfilia! versus Flare Corona from Raven Tail!
as thier names were called, both the girls entered the arena from thier perspective booths…
pumpkin- Both of you, come forward!
pumpkin also walked on the arena to explain the rules of battle match.
pumpkin- since this entire area will be your battlefield, only you two will be here, your time limit is 30 minutes, during that time, if you knock out your opponent, you win, alright!, let the first match.. begin!
hope wanted to see a duel but this one was hard as both of them were girls and both wore skin revealing clothes!
hope- sigh…red notice something if I miss it.
Red- yes young master, I’m gathering everyone’s information as the tournament goes on.
with the bang on the bell, the match started…
the girl name Lucy released 2 beings one was a muscled cow with axe and other was a scorpion like man, they both did a combination attack with huge sands and returned back after dealing the damage.
Flare did not stand idly and attacked with her hair? Flare seemed to be able to control her hair as she wanted it, she attacked Lucy by making a wolf out of her hair but the latter called out a crabman this time who had scissors in his hands, the crabman chopped down the hair in no time.
Flare got enraged by this and extended her hair towards Lucy and caught her both legs with her hair and started swinging her around and tossed her on the ground.
[quatz- this girls sustain too much.
hope- it must be related to magic in this world, but sadly thier clothes are not sustaining much.
quatz- then it’s good for you partner.]
Lucy had started turning the battle to her side until hope and Red both noticed something, Flare was targeting a child in the spectator zone with her hair going beneath the ground to her and Lucy knew about this, if Lucy had attacked her or spoke about it then Flare would have killed the child immediately with her hair.
Lucy had started taking a beating from Flare and everyone thought that she’s conserving her magical energy.
…
hope- Red stop them at my signal, I’m going to save that child.
Red- yes young master!
hope immediately blinked where the girl child was and pulled the hair from the ground which was pointing towards her with all his strength.
everyone near the child saw what hoped did and were shocked to see the hair of Flare pointing towards the small girl from thier guild.
Flare had suddenly crashed her head on the ground as hope pulled her hair the other side.
hope- stop this match now!
Red went in the arena and stopped the match by making both the participants go to sleep.
Makarov- how did you find about this?
hope- old man, don’t make me punch you, why were you not able to notice this! and what’s with that girl flying in the air! she could’ve seen this too!
Makarov- I’m really sorry about not noticing this, it’s my responsibility as guild master.
Mavis- wait, you can see me!?
hope ignored Mavis and walked out of there as the guards came to check the incident.
…..after sometime Flare had been declared disqualified from the match for cheating and Lucy got the points for victory.
Makarov came to express his thanks to hope but the latter ignored him saying “don’t talk to me right now” hope watching this incident felt hurt for some reason and quatz noticed it.
[quatz- don’t let the dark emotions take the better of you partner, this world comes with more magic and this might cause my powers make you loose your sanity, SO CONTROL YOURSELF!!
hope- sigh….good dragon.
quatz- I’m serious right now.
hope- me too, good dragon.
quatz- ehehehe….
hope- thank you, your words helped me a lot.
quatz- I can even DESTROY the world for my partner.
hope- I don’t want that.]
Lola- then after this displeasing first match, let’s continue the battle and hope for the best.
hope had returned to his team booth with Red…
Red- this commentator is saying wrong, he should’ve said “hope is the best”.
hope- why do butter me so much?
Red- it’s fun praising young master.
hope- hm.
….
