Chapter 72: This Is Too Easy

"Today is the second and last round of the tournament! I shall explain the rules to you shortly after all the contestants get ready!" The man said.

Rem looked at the Dark Knights team with hatred. Everyone got ready for the second round of the tournament. After all the teams were ready, the man explained the rules and what they were going to do.

"As some of you may know, the tournaments our school hosts are normally from three to seven days. This tournament is going to be three days long. Today, the team leaders from each team will pick an envelope from this box. Inside the envelope, there will be a number from one to twelve. The number the team leader chooses will get to fight that team. The top six teams will get to pick an envelope from this box. This is all completely based on luck. Don't just think that the first round wasn't important because it is. The points each team earned yesterday will be counted towards the end. The rules are simple. The teams will fight each other in this stadium. You can see that everyone who is participating is wearing a badge. Just simply steal or take the other team's badges. The team with the most badges will win. You have an hour. Easy, isn't it? Every top-six ranked team will get their team leader to pick an envelope. The leaderboard is up there." The man pointed at the leaderboard.

'So that was why they told us to wear these badges...' Rem thought, looking at the leaderboard.

<Leaderboard>

[1st: Dark Knights | 15,520 Points]

[2nd: Ver | 15,140 Points]

[3rd: Spades | 6,760 Points]

[4th: Devils | 5,040 Points]

[5th: Blades | 4,480 Points]

[6th: Vipers | 3,310 Points]

[7th: Snipers | 2,520 Points]

[8th: Miracles | 2,240 Points]

[9th: Strikers | 1,650 Points]

[10th: Fierce Bats | 1,190 Points]

[11th: Lucky Clovers | 1,170 Points]

[12th: Last | 310 Points]

All the team leaders from the top three ranked on the leaderboard walked to the box. They each chose an envelope. Of course, the first ranked team chose first. Ray took an envelope from the box and opened it. He then showed it to the man.

"Dark Knights are going to battle... Vipers!" The man said.

'What a coincidence... Vipers and Dark Knights are working together. Obviously, Dark Knights are going to win. Urg, I hate people who play dirty.' Rem thought, grabbing an envelope from the box.

She opened it then gave it to the man.

"Ver is going to battle... Blades!" The man said.

The third-ranked team leader did what the first two team leaders did.

"Spades are going to battle... Devils!" The man said.

The audience cheered.

"Strikers are battling Last! Miracles are battling Lucky Clovers and Snipers are battling Fierce Bats!" The man announced.

"The first team who is going to battle each other are Dark Knights and Vipers! Both teams please stand in the middle of the circle." The man ordered.

The two teams did what the man said and was teleported to another dimension. The other teams watched from the front seats that were reserved just for them.

'The green-haired boy isn't here. Good...' Rem thought, taking a seat.

Karina sat next to Rem towards her right while Kaito sat next to Karina's right. Yukino took a seat next to Rem's left and Yukio sat next to Yukino.

"Weird... The green-haired boy who hurt us didn't come today. I wonder why?" Yukino wondered, saying her thoughts out loud.

"I'm not sure," Karina answered.

Rem, Kaito, and Yukio didn't say anything. Kaito and Yukio both looked at Rem. Rem only shrugged. Everyone watched the battle between the Dark Knights and Vipers. During the match, Rem was disgusted because she knew those two teams were teaming. The audience was shouting and cheering very loudly in the back. In the end, the Dark Knights obtained every badge from the other team, just as Rem expected would happen. The new leaderboard looked like this.

<Leaderboard>

[1st: Dark Knights | 10 Badges]

[2nd: Ver | ? Badges]

[3rd: Spades | ? Badges]

[4th: Devils | ? Badges]

[5th: Blades | ? Badges]

[6th: Vipers | 0 Badges]

[7th: Snipers | ? Badges]

[8th: Miracles | ? Badges]

[9th: Strikers | ? Badges]

[10th: Fierce Bats | ? Badges]

[11th: Lucky Clovers | ? Badges]

[12th: Last | ? Badges]

After their match finished, Rem's team was next.

"Ver and Blades! Please stand in the circle." The man said.

The two teams did what they were told and they were also teleported to another dimension.

"Everyone, give your badges to me. I'll protect them. What we will be doing is going to be similar to yesterday. We are going to split into groups and steal their badges. I believe Yukio's abilities are more than enough. He can try to steal a badge by himself. I'll also be going by myself. Karina, Kaito, and Yukino can go create a trap. Then someone will go lure the other team to that trap. You guys know how to make a decent trap, right?" Rem asked.

"Yes." Karina and Yukio both answered at the same time.

Kaito stayed quiet.

"Then Karina and Yukino can create the trap and Kaito will be luring them. Be careful everyone. If you are in trouble, use your magic to shoot up in the sky three times.' Rem ordered.

"Got it." The others all said.

Rem took the badges. She put them in her inventory.

'002, create a map for me.'

{Done.}

Rem looked at the map.

'I see... They think we won't attack them just because they're all together? That doesn't matter... I'll just separate them.' Rem ran to the other team without making any noises.

She eavesdropped on the other team.

"You two! Go hide these badges. The rest of you will come with me. We're going to take the other team's badges! Let's go!!!" The leader of the other team yelled.

'I guess I won't have to separate them.' Rem thought, hiding on top of a tree.

Two members from the other team followed their leader while the other two were going to hide their badges. Rem followed the two who had all the badges.

"Where should we hide it?" A member from the other team asked.

"Let's just hide them all below that tree. I don't think hiding all the badges are a good idea though..." The other member said.

"Are you trying to break our team leader's orders??!" The member who asked the question raised his voice.

"No, I was just saying..."

"Whatever! Just hide under this tree!"

"Fine, fine..."

The two members dug a hole under the tree, threw the badges in then buried it.

"Let's go back now."

"Shouldn't we guard it?"

"No, we're going back! Our leader never told us to guard this. C'mon!"

"Okay..."

Rem saw the two members leave. She jumped off from the tree then used a normal knife she bought from the shop to dig the place under the tree. She knew where the other team hid their badges.

'They have no brains...' Rem thought, taking all five of their badges, putting them in her inventory.

'Well, that was easy. We still have forty minutes left. We just have to wait. I'll go back to check on the others.' Rem ran back to the other members.

"Oh, Remie! What are you doing here?" Karina asked.

"I got every badge from the other team." Rem stated, showing Karina the badges as proof.

"What??? How?" Karina was shocked.

"They decided to hide their badges but I saw where they hide them so I just took them..." Rem casually said.

"Hahaha! That's so funny... Did they not think of guarding it? How did they not notice you???" Karina laughed softly.

"I don't know. For now, follow me. We don't want to bump into anyone from the other team. We're off to gather the others." Rem said.

"Okay!" Karina followed Rem.

After a few minutes, everyone was back together.

"We are going to wait right here. Just rest for a while. There are only ten minutes left." Rem announced.

"You're right. Let's just hope we don't see anyone from the other team..." Yukino sighed.

Ten minutes passed and the match has finally ended. When the two teams were teleported back, the other team, Blades, picked a fight with Ver.

"How is it that you guys got all our badges??! We couldn't find any of you!!!" The leader of Blades pointed at Rem in anger.

"You should have thought of a better idea. Hiding your badges? Seriously? Your hiding spot was horrible. It's so obvious. Your idea was even worse though." Rem argued back.

The leader of Blades tried to punch Rem. Rem easily dodged his attack. She used her killing intent on him. The leader was on his knees, trembling. Rem then walked back to her seat without looking back. The audience was shocked. Many cheered while some were unpleased.

"Wow, Remie! How did you do that?" Karina asked.

"It was nothing." Rem replied.

...

A few hours passed. The second part of the tournament finally ended. These were the results.

'Just you wait Dark Knights... You will regret what you did!' Rem walked back to her dorm room with her fists clenched.
