73 Chapter 58

Evan POV:

[The Coliseum looks just like those Romans ones from our world.] (Me)

I started talking with Aisha as she leads me to the Coliseum with people around us also heading there.

[That's true, you think those Heroes made that?] (Aisha)

[Well the possibility is there. But that matters on when it was built.] (Me)

[What do you mean?] (Aisha)

[The Heroes left around a 100 years ago, so if this Coliseum was made before that, then sure.] (Me)

[Ohhh, On that note, you said before that everyone who met those heroes forgot about them right?] (Aisha)

[Yea?] (Me)

[Then doesn't that mean that we would be forgotten as well?] (Aisha)

[I don't know but it seems Highly.] (Me)

Aisha nodded as we entered the Giant Open Thick wooden door.

What greeted us was a wide open hall with pillars holding the roof. The hall broke off into three paths, on in the middle path there was a closed door which wasn't as big as the entrance door but was still big, the door was..... you know those iron grate doors in the Medival Castle that fall from the ceiling? and has to be cranked up to pass through? Those iron Doors.

I can see through the grate and its just a Wide open area, On the middle, there's like a circular white platform, It's probably made of marble

I don't know what most of the material used in this Coliseum is .....but it's brown. Seems like some type of Sandstone from the game.

Other than that there were 2 more pathways, one to the left and one to the right. I asked Aisha and it seems like those go to the sitting range.

All the people were going into those two pathways while Aisha and I walked towards a guy in iron armor holding a checkbook next to the closed iron grate door.

When he saw Aisha he immediately stood straight.

[Welcome to Coliseum again, Madam! How may I be of service to you?] (Dude)

[Hello, My Good friend, Evan, wants to join the ranking ceremony.] (Aisha)

She really focused on the Good part of the Friend. probably to tell him that I'm no joke.

[Ah, Of course. The ceremony is opened to all Magicians. The match of Saul and Ilta will begin in a few minutes Do you want to start your ceremony after that?] (Dude)

[Yea sure, can I fight the matches in a row? without any brakes till the...] (Me)

[Professional Grandmaster.] (Aisha)

[Oh... You actually Can't but there's a different... Ceremony for that.] (Dude)

[What.] (Aisha)

[After Madam beat 12 Magicians in a row, we decided to make another mode for the ceremony, we call it the "Rush" ceremony. The rules are that defeating each opponent will yield you 2 Ranks but defeat will also suffer you 2 ranks and there will be no breaks if you want to fight another opponent.] (Dude)

[Oh, Sounds good, Sign Me Up!] (Me)

After that, I gave him all the info he needed and walked towards the Sitting..... range? part? whatever its called.

{Author Note: How stupid do you have to be to forget that it's called A Sitting Area!}

We walked a bit to the sitting place and it just a staircase surrounding the stadium down below. People were sitting on the stairs. One point of the Stairs was much higher than the rest which also had a roof, probably a VIP area.

{Author Note: VIP = Very Important Person.}

[Papa!] (Faith)

I heard Faith's voice and saw her standing on Luna's Shoulder and waving towards me from just a bit far away.

Tifa was holding Hope, Lucy and Oswald was also there. They were all sitting in an isolated place

I walked towards them.

Faith jumped from Luna's shoulder to me and I caught her mid-air.

[Hello there my little fellow, how are you?] (Me)

[Hehe, you took a long time to come here. Did You Know!? There was a Fight That Happened! He Used some Magic and a Big Ice Spike Came out from the ground Like BOOOM!] (Faith)

The platform looked okay to me if that did happen then how did they fixed the platfor-

Oh Right, Magic.

[Sounds like you had a lot of Fun.] (Me)

I made her sit on my Shoulder while sitting beside Luna.

[What took you so long?] (Luna)

[Aisha and I were "Planning".] (Me)

She looked at me suspiciously.

[Planning What?] (Luna)

[Uhhh.] (Me)

[You know, the things that a Husband and a Wife usually plans.] (Aisha)

Aisha came in Between us.

[Wh-What are you Talking About!? You two Aren't Husband and Wife Yet! Evan Asked you to be Faith and Hope's Mom because he Couldn't see them sad and There was No other Reason!] (Luna)

[You're just jealous that you Couldn't be Mom.] (Me)

[I'M NOT JEALOUS!!!] (Luna)

Luna and Aisha were just dishing it out and I know that Aisha will win cuz she just loves the salt that people make.

Like Me.

Well anywho, Lucy approached me now.

[Shishou, will you participate as well?] (Lucy)

[Yea, I'm gonna try going for the Pro Grandmaster.] (Me)

[....It's quite strange that I know you will be able to do that.] (Lucy)

we kept talking and messing around until a few minutes later the match began as a referee in iron armor came to the "Stadium" with a guy and girl. They all came from the held up Iron grated door.

The Dude had a childish face and wavy short brown hair, he's wearing Red Magician's Robe while holding a... Topaz Staff? Its a yellowish metal Rod with a giant Topaz fitted on top.

The Woman had a Mature face and black Braided Hair, she's wearing Black Robe holding an Amethyst Staff.

[That's.....] (Lucy)

I looked over to Lucy and she was staring at the Woman

[Hmm? You know her?] (Me)

[Yes... She's Ilta, Ilta Rodney. Her Family and my Family... don't have a good relationship.] (Lucy)

Oh, I gotcha.

[Her Family is quite notorious for a spell they created, it's called "Nightmare". It works in such a way that it will summon whatever the target is afraid of the most and make him face it. I don't know much about it but be careful.] (Lucy)

[Gotcha.] (Me)

The Girl or "Itla" Looked around the stadium until she looked here and became immensely happy.

[Was it just me or was she happy that we were here.] (Me)

[I thought she smiled after looking at me.] (Aisha)

I quickly notified her.

Evan: That means She has the BIG GAY!

Aisha quickly covered her mouth so that she doesn't accidentally laugh and appear like a crazy woman.

I looked back at the stadium and the referee shouted.

[Begin!] (Referee)

The Dude, who I've already forgotten the name of, started first as he pointed the staff towards Itla and a Fiery ball spawned and launched itself towards her.

Itla was fast enough to put a translucent shield in front of her and then started chanting some spell.

The Dude slammed the rod down and a ring of fire surrounded the both of them and after that, the dude started chanting some other spell.

[Nightmare!] (Itla)

Looks like Itla was Faster than him and a Black Fog started forming between them.

The Black Fog became bigger and bigger until it dissipated at an instant and a Giant Blue slime wearing a crown formed which also had a Ninja inside it.

Isn't that the King Slime?

The dude casted his spell and a bunch of Fireballs spawned and shot straight to Itla But a Giant slime was standing in the way.

when he noticed the appearance of the slime, he, while screaming like a little baby, ran away from the stadium.

When the dude left the stadium, Itla waved her Hand and King slime disappeared into a Black Fog.

The Referee stepped forward and shouted.

[Winner! Itla!] (Referee)

The crowd started cheering and that included my friends too, except Aisha who was thinking about something deeply.

Surprisingly, Itla looked back here but this time I also noticed that she was looking towards Aisha and not me.

[Do you have some beef with her?] (Me)

[First time seeing her.] (Aisha)

Itla Bowed down while looking here and gracefully walked away.

[Well it definitely has something to do with you.] (Me)

[We'll see.] (Aisha)

The Referee started shouting which took both of our attention.

[Ladies and Gentleman! For the First Time, A new Style, A New Mode, A New Tournament will come with its First Challenger. I am proud to present to you The Tournament Rush!] (Referee)

He started giving a speech about it and then ultimately calling be down there.

[Do you think you'll run into Itla down there?] (Aisha)

[I hope so, I do want to know and fight my worst nightmare, that would be awesome.] (Me)

Everyone else gave me good luck as I walked towards the stadium.
