Ch 61 – The Lioness
"....?! How ridiculous!... The award ceremony is going to start soon... And what makes you think that I'll agree..."
Before she could speak, Sol grabbed Charlotte's shoulder and excitedly said. "Like hell, a Black Bull like you can even beat Big Sis! Dream on... Alright, you hear that? It's on, Sis!!"
Charlotte was completely dumbfounded by the change in the situation, especially how her own team member pushed her into a meaningless challenge.
Soon, both of them sat down on a table with dozens of mugs filled with beer placed in front of them.
Vanessa was so excited, taking a bottle and putting it on her lips to drink.
The crowd of people surrounding the table cheered, enjoying the competition between two beauties.
Not even a few seconds later, Vanessa was drunk. She passed out from the little bit of beer she had.
Charlotte took one sip and was drunk too. Alex shook his head and scoffed. So much for a challenge. He walked over and snatched the mug from the blonde captain's hand, drinking it.
"You're a lightweight, you dumbo... Don't push yourself, okay?"
Charlotte flushed red from embarrassment as it was an indirect kiss and fell down on the table, losing consciousness.
They had done so much more than an indirect kiss and yet she was so cute to faint from this.
"The match is a draw...!!" The bartender shouted, announcing the result.
"You did great, Sis! You did really great!" Sol muttered, grumbling because Charlotte failed to win the match.
On the other hand, Alex stared at them and sighed.
'Just why the hell are they competing in the first place?'
Alex then heard someone say that the achievement ceremony was about to start. He smirked thinking about the looks on everyone's faces when the Black Bulls would create a new record.
The crowd cheered as the Magic Emperor took the stage.
"WIZARD KING!!!!"
"REALLY!!! THE WIZARD KING!!!"
"JULIUS-SAMA!!!"
The crowd went wild when they noticed the Wizard King standing on top of the stage.
Alex chuckled, 'This guy sure is popular... But I still have to take him out since he was just a ticking time bomb!...'
"This year, I'll be announcing the Magic Knights Squad's achievements myself," Julius spoke, enhancing his voice with magic to let it echo so everyone in the crowd could hear him.
The crowd once again got excited.
"After the results are announced, the king will also make an appearance, so please look forward to that."
But this time the crowd turned silent for a while.
Alex was not shocked by their reaction since he had already anticipated something like this.
With how trashy and weak the King was, it would be more shocking if the crowd actually loved him at all.
A moment later the crowd once again started cheering for the wizard king totally ignoring the announcement that Julius made about the king.
"Now, then...As you all know, our Clover Kingdom has been battling invasion attempts from both the Diamond and Spade Kingdoms, as well as a new terrorist group called the Eye of the Midnight Sun. The royal capital was attacked, and many lives were lost. I even considered canceling the Star Festival for this year. But it's because of all these events that I wanted to commend the courageous men and women who fought against them, and decided to hold the festival."
As Julius said that, the magic lamps that were floating around the stage started to glow making the stage to now be the main focus.
"Now, then. Let us welcome them...Our nine Magic Knights Squad captains, whom we hold in the highest esteem." said Julius.
Just as he said that the Captains walked onto the stage making the crowd's excitement soar through the roof.
Alex gazed at the stage and then at Yami and Charlotte, grumbling.
"Don't you think, you should be on the stage at that moment?"
Yami laughed and waved his fan. "Nah. It's just a hell of boring. Why bother with such unnecessary stuff?"
Alex smiled and shook his head, already accustomed to Yami's antics.
Julius soon started introducing all the captains that were present on the stage.
"Tch...that demon lioness is back," said Yami as he puffed his cigarette.
"You scared of her or something?" Alex raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You should be too," Yami replied.
"Though, things might be different now compared to the last time we fought since I have surpassed my limits several times," Yami said as the thought of provoking the lioness came to his mind.
Hearing that Alex smirked. That's the Yami that he knows... and respects, treating like an elder brother!
Yami tried to test the water and aimed some killing intent at the new Crimson Lions captain.
...
'Ha! Such a pain in the butt. Why the hell did I accept to be the captain?!' Mereoleona Vermilion thought, grumbling to herself. She was annoyed by taking on the position of the captain since was addicted to being free and unrestrained.
As she started at the crowd who was intently looking at her and the other captains.
Suddenly she felt some killing intent and immediately glared in the direction where it came from, noticing a familiar face.
A foolish man who tried to test his luck and agitated her!
'So you think that you are better now?!' Mereoleona thought as she fired back her own killing intent at the man who tried to challenge her.
'Alright! Challenge accepted.'
Mereleona grinned in excitement.
However, her eyes soon moved to the young man standing close to Yami, drinking beer.
She didn't know why but it caused her to furrow her brows subconsciously.
'Hmm...who is that brat? I had never seen him but why does he seem a little familiar?'
At this moment, Alex turned his head and stared at her. His eyes lit up with a scarlet glow and a weird grin flashed on his face.
Mereoleona shuddered a little and a familiar figure appeared in her mind, merging with the young man.
'Could it be...?'
She clenched her fist in excitement as a fire erupted in her eyes, ready to fight.
She saw the young man moving his lips and rubbing the area below her naval.
...
Yami smirked seeing that Mereoleona noticed him but his face immediately turned pale when he saw her glare which was accompanied by her killing intent.
"Fu*k...I am gonna die," Yami muttered as he immediately stopped releasing his killing intent.
But soon his fear was replaced with curiosity as he saw Mereoleona looking at Alex excitedly. He patted Alex's shoulder and asked worriedly. "Hey, Kid, tell me how did you provoke that demonic lioness?"
"What do you mean? I think she is cool!" Alex replied, finishing his beer.
"Do you hit your head, kid?... Anyway, I'll make sure to put some flowers on your grave every year if you die, okay?" Yami patted his shoulder and said emotionally.
Alex's facial muscles twitched when he heard that, almost wanting to punch him in the face.
While they were busy chatting, the ceremony continued.
