Chunibyo’s Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 57 2nd Day

Lola- And now, what you’ve all been waiting for, the second day of the Grand magic games has begun! Our guest on this second day is renowned reporter for the weekly sorcerer, Jason-San!

Jason- cool!

Lola- okay the competition part has already begun! And the name is Chariot!

In this game, the participants are made to run along the tops of interconnected chariots, which start at one end ofCrocusand end at the Grand Magic Games Arena.

Magic can be used at any time to help the competitors reach the goal faster or hinder the other competitors.

Falling off the chariots will result in disqualification.

The winner is the Mage that reaches the Grand Magic Games Arena first.

Lola- vehicles will wend thier way around the sightseeing spots of Crocus, but which team will arrive here at Domus Flau!?

the game had already started and the participants were.

Exotic Nexus- Red.

Raven Tail- kurohebi.

Mermaid heel- Risley law.

Lamia Scale- Yuuka Suzuki.

Blue Pegasus- Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki.

Fairy tail A- Natsu Dragneel.

Fairy tail B- Gajeel Redfox.

Sabertooth- Sting Eucliffe.

hope was watching the game from his Team on the Lacrima screens.

Red was dominating the game just by his physical abilities, he kept running and jumping across the Chariots…

while there were 3 guys who were having a tough time just to walk thier way on the Chariot, they were Natsu, Gajeel and Sting, the other competitors were competing amongst themselves as they knew crossing Red was impossible as he had almost reached the Domus Flau.

Lola- What’s going on with those 3 here Yajima San?

Yajima- I suppose the three of them have something in common.

the spectators had started gossiping among themselves for what this 3 idiots were doing, they looked like they have motion sickness.

hope- I think they should start crawling coz that’ll be better if they can’t walk, don’t you think Red?

Red- I guess it has to something with thier powers.

hope- hope so.

…

Lola- alright, let’s check in with the leaders of the pack! it’s a fierce dead heat in the front! Red has already completed the race! while now in the lead is Kurohebi of Raven Tail!

Ichiya of Blue Pegasus is on his heels, followed by Yuuka of Lamia Scale and Risley from Mermaid heel!

all four of them ran like thier life depended on it, while some used this event to loose thier weight! Risley from Mermaid heel had shifted her size from a chubby girl to a hot figured girl as she ran through the Chariots.

Lola- in second place, Kurohebi of Raven Tail! in third is Risley! in fourth Yuuka! in fifth Ichiya! All that’s left are these 3, battling it out at the bottom ranks!

all 3 of them ran or walked idk but they were too slow, they held thier puke and kept moving forward with all they got! everyone in the spectator place were laughing out at them, while thier teammates were feeling worried for thier efforts.

As the audience begins to laugh at the three, Sting decides to give up while Natsu and Gajeel were determined to move forward. Sting then questions the two as to why they decided to join the tournament. Natsu answers him, telling him that he is doing it for his comrades who have waited for them for the past seven years, enduring all the pain and selflessly defending the guild. Hearing Natsu’s words, the Fairy Tail Mages begin to cry just as Natsu and Gajeel finish the race, earning their guilds two and one point respectively. The event then concludes with Sabertooth earning zero points due to Sting’s withdrawal.

…..

hope- seven years? what happened in this seven years, I want to know.

Red- I can research on this, young Master.

hope- no, I’ll ask the victims themselves.

…

the audience hearing Natsu’s speech went emotional and praised Fairy Tail for thier hard work and they cheered for them.

….

After sometime battle part had been announced …

currently Kurohebi from Raven Tail was Facing off against Lamia Scale’s Toby HorHorta!

Yajima- I hope we see a fair fight.

Jason- Toby is way dog! cool!

….

hope- fair fights is all I want.

Red- young master I can assure your fight being fair.

hope- I know about it.

…..

In this game Toby made a bet that if Toby wins, he wants to know the true name of Kurohebi, as Kurohebi told that ‘Kurohebi’ is not his true name but when Kurohebi asked for what he will get for the win, Toby said he will tell everyone his “super secret”.

thus the match began, Toby just same as a dog had agile movements as he attacked with his sharp and long nails. Kurohebi showed everyone his spell through which he can mimic someones certain spells and use it against his enemy to defeat them.

hope- nice spell.

Red- this spell is good for Mimicking low leveled spells, as high level spells require experience to use them.

hope- you know much about spells.

Red- its all the experience I gained from these thousands of years.

…

Kurohebi had defeated Toby, now it was Toby’s turn to tell his secret as per the bet.

Toby- *snort..My socks..I can’t find one of them..Even though I’ve been searching for it for 3 months, I can’t find it for some reason.. I.. couldn’t bring myself to tell anyone…

Toby was laying on the ground and he cried with snorts as he said his secret…

Kurohebi then told him that his sock is tied on his neck through a lace…

….

hope- fvk! isn’t he supposed to be a dog! how can’t he not smell his own socks..

Red- there are many weird people these days, young master you should stay away from people like this.

[quatz- in short stay away from yourself.

hope- that’s not possible, idiot!]

Toby as he kept crying thanked Kurohebi to help him find his sock but Kurohebi in return tore his sock and left the ground back to his booth.

….

Lola- okay, let’s get back on track with today’s second match! From Exotic Nexus hope! versus an opponent from Fairy tail A…. Elfman.

hope started walking on the arena as he felt lucky to fight a physical type again! though he didn’t know Orga was a mage type actually.

Red- good luck young master! and bet something too!

hope- nice idea.

hope gave Red a thumbs up and walked towards the arena.

….

hope saw Elfman infront of him, he was clearly a physical type, no doubt.

the crowd didn’t cheered them nor the booed, they were just silent to see the match.

the announcement to start the match was made…

hope- Elfman, let’s make a bet like previous one’s did.

Elfman- what bet? I don’t want to.

hope- aren’t you a man? Elf…Man?

Elfman- okay say the bet after hearing your bet, I’ll also make one.

hope had succeeded to trick the madman.

hope- my bet is, for one day whenever you say man, you’ll have to get punched by someone for each ‘MAN’ you say, if there’s no one near you to punch, then you’ll punch yourself as you are a ‘MAN’, aren’t you?

hearing this bet everyone had gone stunned, ‘what a bet!’

Erza- sigh… I didn’t hope for Elfman to get tricked by him.

Natsu- we can only hope from him to win now.

Lucy- is hope that strong?

Lucy had not seen the fight of hope against Orba…so she didn’t know what happened, no one either told her about it.

Gray- you’ll see, we can only hope for the best.

four of them then suddenly thought ‘WHY DO WE KEEP SAYING ‘HOPE’!!!.

Elfman- then listen to my bet, my bet is that you’ll change your name from ‘hope’ to ‘despair’ for the entire time of tournament, deal?

hope- deal accepted, now I’ll punch you myself for each ‘MAN’ you say for one day, if you stay conscious that is.

hope said the last words silently so no one heard it.

Elfman had touched a very sensitive nerve of hope.

hope- Ready? START!

hope gave the signal to Elfman that he is about to attack..

hope blinked towards Elfman and planted him into the wall of spectator zone by punching his face but he didn’t end it there, hope used Ruler’s Authority on Elfman to raise him in the air and toss him with all the force he got, making a huge pit following with an airblast from collusion.

hope- you don’t touch my name like it’s nothing! it’s given to me by a precious person in my life!

hope was not able to stop himself from raising Elfman again in the air and tossing him on the ground.

Lola- STOP!!!! you’ve won so plz stop!

hearing the shout, hope stopped and realized about his mistake, hope looked at unconscious Elfman and spoke.

hope- sigh… I’m sorry, really sorry, I tried my best to hold off my anger but you touched my most sensitive nerve.

hope said those words and left the arena walking towards his booth.

all the time during the match, crowd stayed silent as they were too scared to get on the bad side of this Team.

Natsu- he overdid it!

Natsu was enraged as hope gave a very bad beating to Elfman.

Erza- it’s not his fault, he held back as much as he could.

Natsu- What!?

Erza- that person called hope has not even shown the tenth of his power, call it my instinct.

Gray- Erza when did you become a animal?

Erza hearing those words punched Gray on his face.

…..

hope went of to his room after the match to sleep as his mood had gone worse…they didn’t have any matches left today so it was okay if they left the premises early..hope had asked Red to wait and go through the remaining 2 battles and get the information on their powers, Red accepted the request happily.
