Salana's P. O. V
I heard a series of knocks at my door. So, I opened my eyes and stretched.
"Who's that?!" I asked while yawning. "Mother, it's already eight thirty seven in the morning, the Centurial Commoners Game will resume at nine thirty in the morning!" Aarde shouted.
"Okay, I'll fix myself now!" I shouted. Then, I went to my bathroom...
After a few minutes...
Gwen, Aarde, and I were currently eating out for breakfast. Gwen cooked fried fish with a vegetable salad and hot coffee for drinks.
"Thank you for preparing these foods, Gwen. They're really tasty," I said, complimenting her. She just smirked and nodded many times. "Don't mention it, Lana. If you want, I'm gonna give you the recipe in exchange of Menudo recipe." She replied while winking at me. I just chuckled.
"No need to do that, I will give you the recipe of my Menudo without any exchange," I said, which made Gwen get excited. "Thank you, Lana. Please take it down on a piece of paper and give it to me later. We need to hurry up, we're gonna be late in the Centurial Commoners Game." Gwen reminded me. We eat faster because of that...
After a few minutes...
We finally went inside the Arena, and Baron Davis and Duchess Colline were in the middle of the battlefield. I am here at the usual place where Kasakstan and I always sat, and he's beside me right now. Gwen decided to go to where her cousins and her usually sat...
"Congratulations to all the contestants that passed the second stage of Centurial Commoners Game. So, from five hundred contestants, we are now down to two hundred fifty contestants. Please give round of applause to yourselves," Baron Davis said. So, all the contestants including me clapped their hands, some of the imbecile shouted.
"Okay, that's enough!" Duchess Colline shouted, which made us quiet. "So, for the next stage, which is the third stage of the Centurial Commoners Game. You will encounter a new challenge, which is titled as MAZE BATTLE; where you need to find the exit of the maze, but there's a twist here, that twist is you need to be injured, but do not kill your co-contestants. The more you are injured, the more you have the chance to find the exit, as every contestant you injured is equal to the hint points, which you can use to have a short vision towards the exit." Duchess Coline explained. Many of my co-contestant started gossiping with each other.
"Hey, Lana. What do you think about the challenge for the third stage of the game?" Kasakstan suddenly asked. So, I looked up and held my chin. "Uhm... As far as I understand, it is a little bit hard and it's gonna be a bloody round, just like in the first stage." I answered. Kasakstan sighed and nodded many times.
"Yeah, that's true. Let's wait for the rules and regulation of the third stage," Kasastan said. I just nodded as an answer, then, Baron Davis stepped again to the middle of battle field of Arena.
"So, I'm here again to state the three rules that you need to follow for the third stage of Centurial Commoners Game. The first rule is, do not kill your co-contestants, just injured them. If you kill, you automatically disqualified and face the law after you kick out here. The second rule is, it's forbidden to use healing spell. So, all the Healing-Related Phile will be exempted to this stage to help us treat the injured. The last and most important rule is, enjoy the game, don't hate just love, and spread the sportmanship. You can use your familiar to help you in battle field, you can use your weapon or armor, and you can also team up to other player. In another word, this game can be a two man play. Here's our honorable Duchess Colline to explained the third stage more." Baron Davis stated. Then, he stepped out the battlefield, while Duchess Colline stepped in.
"So, we're gonna be team mate, right Lana?" Kasakstan asked. So, I nodded. "Sure thing, we could help each other later." I replied. So, Kasakstan patted my shoulder, which made me looked at him.
"Please don't be a burden to me later," He said while laughing. So, I pouted and slapped his shoulder. "You dumbass, don't belittle me!" I nagged, which made Kasakstan to laugh even harder.
"I'm back again. So, this stage will be held at the MYTHICAL MAGE at the end border of Seleno Kingdom. I'll bring this arena there." Duchess Colline said. Then, she closed her eyes, after that she floated in the mid air. Then, she opened her eyes, which glowed a bright green light.
"Anemophile: Muscle Winds!" Duchess Colline shouted. Then, the Arena got separated from the ground and it started to fly. Gezzz, this is really satisfying as it feels like riding an airplane.
"The Phile of Duchess Colline really amazes me. I hope I could have the Phile like hers." I said. Then, I felt Kasakstan patted my shoulder, which made me look at him. "Hey, don't be j
elous by her Phile. Your Phile is a special as you." He said, and it made me recall what Papa Danny said to me when I was in the stage where I am just getting my Phile. I smiled broadly and hugged Kasaskstan because of that.
"Thank you," I said while sobbing. "O-Owww, w-what's happening? Why are you crying, Lansa?" Kasakstan asked, stuttering. So, I freed him from my huigged and wiped all the tears that flowing on my eyes. "Nothing, just don't mind me, Kasty." I replied, which made Kasakstan to sighed deeply, and he pouted when he realized what I called him. Then, we felt the Arena already landed on the ground, so we switched our focus to Duchess Colline again who's already landed also on the ground.
"So, as we are now here at the MYTHICAL MAZE, we will give you sixty seconds to find your partner if you want to team up with others, and time starts now!" She shouted. But Kasakstan and I patted the shoulder of each other.
"I will be the one who's responsible for our defense, I said. Kasakstan nodded. "And I will be the one who's responsible for our offense." He said. So, we just nodded to each other...
