Chapter 785: Ranking Tournament 2
*Ding! Dong!*
Suddenly a loud ring of the bell was heard throughout the outside area.
A large hologram screen appeared in the center, causing everyone to look in the direction of this screen. They knew very well that this hologram screen was being controlled by the staff of Babel.
"I will now explain the rules of the tournament."
The screen on the hologram changed into a picture of the area which was taken from the sky.
"The tournament will last for 48 hours. Your score will depend on your ability to fight in various settings. Although you are allowed to rest, others will be allowed to attack you. You"re responsible for yourself.
"During the match, if you beat someone with a higher rank, you will be promoted. The fight will continue until one opponent loses consciousness. Those who are unable to continue fighting will be disqualified, ending their exam.
"You may be disqualified for cheating. You are all being monitored from the Central office. Don"t think that you can cheat.
"Next, I"ll list the restrictions that have been lifted on these premises."
Myuu didn"t seem to understand and said, "Lifted restrictions?"
Haru, Shin.o.bu, Kouha, and Kuroneko also didn"t know about this matter.
"Oh, right, this is your first time and of course, you don"t know about it."
"It really doesn"t mean that our weapons get stronger." Kuzuha showed her AD and said, "Actually, in addition to creating weapons, our ADs can change our clothes.
"The Orihalcon inside tailors it specifically to the wearer. It calculates the most suitable clothing and materializes it."
After talking to Kyouya, Haru had gotten more ADs since it was impossible for him to create a weapon using only one AD.
Akatsuki had seven ADs on his wrist and it showed how powerful his potential was.
Kouha had 10 ADs on his wrist and somehow he thought it was quite troublesome since he needed so many ADs, however, he had to admit the weapon which was created from ADs was quite interesting.
Haru had 13 ADs on his wrist, frankly, for him, ADs didn"t have that much difference from Hundred and he liked Hundred better since he didn"t need to wear too much of it
"13...."
It seemed to be an ominous number, but the effect of the weapon created by using 13 ADs was very wonderful.
However, after hearing Izumi"s explanation, Haru thought that ADs really had a lot of functions on his mind, and it also had the same function as the "f.u.ku f.u.ku no Mi" ability which Esdeath had gotten in her quest before.
Everyone used their ADs and it started to glow enveloped their bodies.
Izumi, Kuzuha, and Akatsuki had worn light armor that was similar to armor that was used on the mercenary in another world.
"Basically, it gives us the most appropriate armor for the fight, right?"
"That"s right."
Izumi looked at Akatsuki and nodded. "It also synchronizes with the wearer"s mind but ---" She was stunned when she saw the armor of Haru, Shin.o.bu, Kouha, Kuroneko, and especially Myuu.
When everyone was wearing armor similar to a western mercenary in the story, the five of them were different.
Kuroneko wore a gothic loli dress which she usually wore in her original world.
Shin.o.bu was wearing a short lavender kimono which made her legs seem longer.
Kouha was wearing his usual clothes which he wore in his original world.
The biggest difference would be Haru since he was wearing a black double-b.r.e.a.s.ted suit with black gloves, a white shirt, red tie, black leather shoes, and a black fedora hat. If he held a cigar in this situation someone might mistake him as a gangster or a mafia. His gla.s.ses also disappeared and made his overall image similar to a boss of a giant company, or a governor, president, etc.
"............."
The four of them didn"t follow the norm, rather they created their own styles. In their opinion, it was quite strange to wear a western light armor like everyone in this place and since ADs could synchronize to the wearer"s mind then they could wear anything as long as they thought inside their minds.
"This AD is very useful."
Kouha was really attracted to fashion and with AD, he could wear anything as long as he thought it inside his mind.
Even though the clothes of the four of them were quite different, the one who attracted the most attention was Myuu who wore very skimpy clothes which made her b.r.e.a.s.ts almost escape from her clothes.
Haru looked at Myuu and thought this pure girl was the one who the most perverted among the girls he knew in this world.
"Kyaaaa! W - What is this?!"
Myuu hugged her own b.r.e.a.s.ts and tried to hide it in shame.
Every guy in this place looked at Myuu with a perverted gaze since they had to admit Myuu"s b.r.e.a.s.ts were the largest in this place.
*Twitch!*
Shin.o.bu tried to hold her jealousy inside her heart when she saw such a huge b.r.e.a.s.t, but she took a deep breath trying to calm herself, but then she glanced at Haru to see his reaction.
"The weather is good....." Haru looked at the sky as if enjoying the nature.
"............."
Shin.o.bu was speechless, but somehow she was satisfied with Haru"s reaction.
"Oi, you guys! Stop staring!"
Akatsuki suddenly shouted at the group of guys.
Myuu who looked at Akatsuki suddenly felt that this guy was quite dependable, but she was in shock when she heard what he was about to say after this.
"My sister"s at that age where she starts to watch dirty anime and wants to try on s.e.xy swimsuits." Akatsuki looked at Myuu and said, "Right?"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Myuu sobbed sadly since no one was going to help her, but suddenly a black suit covered her body.
"Huh?"
Myuu looked up and saw Haru who had given her his black suit on her.
"Wear this for a while."
Haru had given his black suit to Myuu.
"T - Thank you...." Myuu blushed and looked away.
Haru looked at Akatsuki and understood why he didn"t really like this guy.
"It"s because he doesn"t treat his little sister better."
In his mind, as long as someone treated their little sister as if a precious treasure then that guy was a good guy, but if that guy treated their little sister as a bully or something, then he could only say that guy was too much.
Akatsuki wasn"t sure, but he could see that Haru was looking at him with an expressionless gaze which made him somehow shudder.
"What"s wrong?"
Akatsuki scratched his cheek with confusion.
Then the tournament had started, Kouha, Haru, Shin.o.bu, and Kuroneko were walking around this place in a relaxed way.
"It"s over there!"
"Attack them!"
But suddenly when the group of people tried to attack them a tree which was a few meters from their location moved at the fastest speed and pressed them together with another tree.
"ARGGGG!!!!"
*BANGG!!*
It wasn"t only them, but there were a lot of trees which suddenly fused together pressing a lot of people with a powerful force that made them pa.s.s out directly.
Haru had placed several stickers from "Kiss" and duplicated a tree which inside this outside area created a lot of traps in this place.
As long as someone pa.s.sed the gap between two trees which was original and fake, Haru would pluck the sticker using his gravity magic, fusing back two trees into one and pressing the people who were in the middle of the trees with powerful force.
In other words, this place had turned into his ground and he had placed a lot of traps in this area. Even if someone tried to escape, it was impossible since he had used his Kenbunshoku Haki in this test.
Kouha, Shin.o.bu, and Kuroneko didn"t do anything and they were too lazy to fight against the group of small fries, though, Kuroneko created several servants using a microorganism around their surrounding creating turning into a monster which moved wildly in this area.
"So our target is going to come, right?" Shin.o.bu asked.
Haru nodded and said, "Let"s stay near Ousawa since I"m sure that sooner or later our target is going to attack them."
It has become a natural law that a protagonist will attract trouble.
Akatsuki would become their bait to lure their target since they had been waiting for a while in this place and it was time to end their quest.
