Chapter 523 – Let’s Start The Games (II)…
[Rating Games Field, Dimensional Gap]
"The participants will only be eliminated if they are injured over a certain limit or if they surrender. This place is known as the Game Field and it will be able to take any forms which have been agreed upon by the participating Peerages… For example, Shibuya Crossing" Grayfia said pointing her hands towards the Game Field and it slowly transformed into the perfect replica of the Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo.
Gasps of shock, surprise, and awe were heard from the crowd. "Rome Colosseum" Grayfia said and once again, the Game Field started to transform and everyone found themselves sitting inside the Rome Colosseum. Even the representatives who were standing right in the middle of Game Field couldn\'t find a single fault with anything around them. It felt like they were actually standing inside the Rome Colosseum, even the stone walls felt completely real.
"I assure every one of you, we would be witnessing a lot of beautiful places throughout the Tournament" Grayfia declared in an amused tone, and some cheerful laughter was heard from the crowd. Some spectators also hummed in appreciation, but they were drowned by the cheers of the crowd.
Once again, Grayfia started to speak when the crowd finally calmed down. "Aside from the normal rules, there are many special rules for the Rating Games. Aside from the standard rules, the games can also feature unique variations depending on the nature of the Rating Games…"
"There are 8 variants of Rating Games and special rules are applied according to the type of Rating Game… I will explain each variant of Rating Games as soon as they come up. I wouldn\'t want to waste your time with boring explanations. So, let\'s get the Games rolling!!" Grayfia exclaimed and the crowd roared in excitement.
"Now, these are the names of the groups participating in the Rating Games…" Grayfia announced and the list of names appeared on the Magical Screens. The names of the representatives of their respective Factions appeared on the screens in front of them. Meanwhile, all lists were displayed inside the VIP box.
There were six teams representing each Faction…
Devil Faction:-
Sairaorg Bael
Diodora Astaroth
Rias Gremory
Sona Sitri
Seekvaira Agares
Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas
Fallen Angel Faction:-
Vali Lucifer
Tobio Isuke
Bathin (OC)
Lix Tetrax (OC)
Orias (OC)
Onoskelis (OC)
One particular name on the list of Fallen Angels Faction raised quite a few eyebrows inside the VIP box. The Former Devil Kings obviously shot questioning looks towards Azazel, who was smiling wryly.
"Vali Lucifer? Is he connected to the Old Satan Faction?" Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the former Devil Kings questioned Azazel.
"I don\'t remember giving you the permission to ask him anything. I knew about the boy and he is still alive so you don\'t have to worry about him" Hela spat out while glaring at Sirzechs, who simply flinched back in fear. Hela smiled in satisfaction and once again everyone started to pay attention to the Screens.
Yasaka and Goddess Amaterasu were quite surprised to see that the former Devil Kings were completely afraid fo Hela. Serafall Leviathan wasn\'t present in the VIP box, so they didn\'t know about her, but the other three former Devil Kings were a completely different story. Odin and Thor were also quite surprised by the exchange and just like Yasaka and Amaterasu, they refrained from making any comments.
Angel Faction:-
Griselda Quarta
Jessica Lagerkvist
Nemo Raimondi
Kiyotora Shinra
Caesar Villiers
Ryuu Heikan
"Hey! Why is Griselda Quarta on the list?" Azazel asked out loud. Hela almost rolled her eyes, but she still decided to answer the question as it was a genuine question and it seemed that all the Leaders wanted to know the answer.
"Anyone under the Ultimate-Class power level is allowed to participate. Griselda Quarta is this close to this close to being an Ultimate-Class, but since she isn\'t an Ultimate-Class, she has been allowed to participate" Hela shrugged and everyone nodded their heads in understanding. After hearing Hela\'s explanation, there wasn\'t anything they could do.
Church Faction:-
Touji Shidou
Irina Shidou
Xenovia Quarta
Lint Sellzen
Diethelm Waldseemuller
Ursula Rusmond (OC)
Norse Faction:-
Helmwige
Ortlinde
Grimgerde
Schwertleite
Rossweisse
Hildr (OC)
Youkai Faction:-
Akahidee (OC)
Kohana (OC)
Ryder (OC)
Saun Kunkuk (OC)
Yugi (OC)
Voni Benkot (OC)
"So, you allowed Akahidee to participate?" Nemuri questioned when she noticed the first name on the list of Youkai Faction. Nemuri had met the boy before and he was a nine-tailed Youkai, so Nemuri obviously remembered the boy.
"Ah, yes. He has been very excited since he heard that Youkais can also participate in the Tournament" Yasaka answered with a small smile on her face.
"Now, it is time to start the Games. Since there are 36 Peerages in total, we are going to start with an elimination round. Since the Devil Faction is already familiar with the Rating Games, we will be starting with the Devil Faction. The participants from other Factions are free to watch the Games to familiarize themselves"
"Right now, there are six Peerages in each Faction, but only three Peerages will be qualifying for the next round from each Faction. Now, I will ask the participants from the other Factions to return to their respective waiting areas" Grayfia announced and the participants from the other Factions started to return without any complaints.
It might seem that the Devils are at a disadvantage, but in reality, they aren\'t as they will be also allowed the watch the Games of the other Factions. Grayfia finally glanced towards the Devils standing in front of the platform. She opened her palm and a transparent glass bowl appeared in her hand. There were several pieces of paper inside the glass bowl.
"Now, I would ask the Kings to join me on this platform" Grayfia said and the Kings started to climb the stairs. When the Kings finally arrived in front of Grayfia, she pointed towards the glass bowl in her hand. "Please pick a paper from the bowl. Each piece of paper has a number written on it" Grayfia explained and the Kings quickly picked a paper for themselves from the bowl. "Number 1 is going to fight Number 2, Number 3 is going to fight Number 4, and lastly Number 5 will fight Number 6" Grayfia continued her explanation.
Grayfia noticed how Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas was leering at her and she wanted to slap the filth straight into Dimensional Gap, but she decided to hold herself back, for now. Diodora Astaroth was the first one to open the paper and he was holding the number 4. Quickly the other Kings also followed his example and opened their papers…
Number 1:- Seekvaira Agares
Number 2:- Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas
Number 3:- Sona Sitri
Number 4:- Diodora Astaroth
Number 5:- Rias Gremory
Number 6:- Sairaorg Bael
Moments later, the matchups appeared on the Magical Screens…
1st Match:- Seekvaira Agares VS Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas
2nd Match:- Sona Sitri VS Diodora Astaroth
3rd Match:- Rias Gremory VS Sairaorg Bael
Everyone in the VIP box noticed that Sirzechs Lucifer and his parents blanched after they saw the matchups. Millicas Gremory was also in attendance, but the biy decided to continue cheering for Rias, which was a good thing. Rias herself was looking very pale while Sona was looking at her sympathetically.
Grayfia vanished the glass bowl in her hand. Moments later, another glass bowl appeared in her hand, then she extended the bowl towards Seekvaira Agares and Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas. "Now, either of you pick a paper. There are 8 papers in total. On each paper, a specific type of Rating Game is mentioned" Grayfia continued her explanation.
Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas pushed forward haughtily, Seekvaira threw him a dirty look, but he simply ignored her and picked a paper from the bowl. Then he quickly opened the paper revealing the name of the Rating Game.
Moments later, the name of the Rating Game appeared on the screens. Seekvaira Agares and Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas were going to face each other in an Object Break Type Rating Game… The Devil side of the spectator stand roared in excitement, but the other stands simply kept looking at each other with confused looks on their faces as they have no idea what Object Break Game was.
"Do either of you have any preferences for the arena?" Grayfia questioned and Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas sniffed haughtily.
"I don\'t care about the arena, no matter where we fight, I will be the one who ends up victorious" Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas proclaimed arrogantly. Inside the VIP box, Falbium Asmodeus and Zephyrdor\'s parents only shook their heads in embarrassment and disappointment.
Since Zephyrdor denied the privilege of seething up the Game Field, Grayfia turned towards Seekvaira Agares. "Amazon Rainforest" Seekvaira requested and Grayfia nodded her head in understanding. Seekvaira Agares along with her Peerage had been trained inside Amazon Rainforest for the last two months. She was going to have a huge advantage, not that Zephyrdor bothered to acknowledge the fact.
"The Rating Game will be taking place in the Amazon Rainforest, the Game will start in 10 minutes. Seekvaira Agares, Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas, you can wait here for 10 minutes with your Peerage members or you could return to your waiting area with the others, but you must return before the Rating Game is started or you will be disqualified" Grayfia explained.
"We will wait" both Seekvaira and Zephyrdor decided to wait in the arena and the other Kings along with their Peerage members returned to the waiting area assigned for the Devils. Seekvaira and Zephyrdor walked away along with their Peerage.
"Instead of getting bored while waiting, allow to me explain what Object Break Game is. I am pretty sure that some of you don\'t have any ideas…" with that Grayfia started to explain Object Break Game to the majority of the crowd…
