Chapter 40 Love at First Sight
After the human child reluctantly agreed to join, the other three sneaking children walked out together. Fushita walked ahead of the others. The three human children and the beast-human child prepared to fight because they were the new visitors. Ashami stopped them first. "Calm down. This is another team that we invited." The other children were a little relieved because there would be another battle. However, once the team was created, they would receive bracelets instead, as a bonus for forming the team. "There are two teams? Then there will be four teams in total. Isn't that too much? The number of bracelets to collect is thirty. If you add the other four teams, there should be about one hundred and twenty. Is it really a good idea to waste so much time!?" The beast-clan children had to ask questions because there were four teams now, so they had to fight a lot to find the bracelets for the four teams.
Ashami started introducing himself first until he finished. The beast-human child with shoulder-length brown hair was Dong, his number was 3665, and he used Earth magic. He was a level 1 mage like the other two children. The black-haired human male named Jia Yi, number 3423, uses fire magic, a level 1 magician like the other two children. Jia Yi looked at Mega with caution because she didn't know Mega's intentions. "This Mega child is dangerous, you shouldn't stand near him. I don't know what this Mega child is thinking." Jia Yi was wary of Mega even though Mega just said nothing, but everyone in the team was already wary even though Mega hadn't even had a chance to show off his abilities.
All the children followed Ashami because he was the most reliable among all the children here. Now, the four teams started walking in order. Akira was the first to walk with Ashami, followed by Dong and Jia Yi, followed by Dong's friend who walked with Jia Yi's friend. The four pairs followed. Mega walked alone because no one wanted to walk with Mega, and after Mega was Fushita and Etsu. The last person was Dale to watch his back, being placed in this position because Dale might be nervous about Mega's beauty. Ashami, who was walking with Akira, opened his mouth to talk. "Do you think those two groups can make peace? I've seen them staring at each other as if they were going to fight each other every time they got the chance," Akira nodded. "If you don't want to, then you have to do it. We're here for victory, right? What's important?" Akira secretly turned to look at Megga, who was walking alone. "What's with your friend? It's like he's on a different level from you and Fushita. I'm still showing signs of fear. Maybe if that kid fights alone, he'll be okay, right?" Akira asked because he was suspicious of Megga. Anyone would be suspicious of the blood-red aura that he released. It could make a crying child faint immediately when they met Megga. Ashami thought back to the past, before Ashami was sent. Ashami was teleported to the competition field. He saw two children standing face to face with Megga and Fushita looking at each other. Ashami thought that these must be his friends who would compete in this round together. Ashami decided to go talk to them to build friendship. The other two kids would be teammates anyway, so they needed to build trust first. But Ashami heard Fushita's voice first. "Ho... You're so beautiful. Do you want to date me? A beauty must be paired with a handsome man." Fushita was showing off his ability to pick up girls. Fushita's handsomeness could be said to be higher than the others. The kid in front of Fushita was Mekka who smiled at Fushita a little and shook his head to reject Fushita's date request. "I'm really sorry. I like to eat more." Fushita made a confused face and started to get angry at being humiliated by Mekka's polite rejection. "What are you talking about? You dare to reject me, don't you? Do you know that I was in the top ten last time? See how good I am? I will definitely let you win if you agree to be my girlfriend." Fushita, who was courting girls, must have forgotten that this was a competition and there was no way they would have free time for each other.
Mekka also praised Fushita. "That's great. Someone like me definitely can't do it. You lost last time, right? Because you couldn't stop, right?" Mekka praised Fushita's prowess, but was it true that Mekka lost? That was another story. Fushita didn't care what Mekka said and slowly walked towards Mekka. THUMP TUMP TUMP. "What's up? Are you interested? This talented Fushita fell in love with you at first sight." Mekka shook her head to reject it. "No, I like to eat more." Fushita, who had walked to Mekka, lowered his head to look at Mekka to intimidate Mekka Lodol. Ashami sighed in annoyance. If Ashami didn't go to help Mekka Lodol now, she would lose a teammate. "That kid is really unlucky. He ran into a kid with such high self-confidence, so he's screwed... Plus, he's on the same team as me. Too lazy to make a move but... I can't help. That's my teammate, huh?» Ashami prepared to run to help Megga who was about to be stared at by Fushita? Huh, just staring at me?
Fushita reached out to grab Megga's shoulder. With a thud, Fushita's right hand lightly slapped Megga's shoulder. Fushita, who had touched Megga's shoulder, started to tremble with fear. The heart-shaped eyes that showed his love for Megga changed to wide open, and his eyes immediately became fearful. Megga looked up at Fushita and smiled a little to make friends. "Do you know why I lost last time?" Fushita, who was scared, started to have a lump in his throat. His shaking legs started to be unable to stop. A terrifying red aura was released around Megga. Fushita even saw Megga's avatar, the legendary shark Megalodol, smiling as if it was going to eat Fushita whole. The illusion that Fushita saw was a shark with bright red eyes that indicated danger, smiling. Fushita's legs were shaking so hard that his hands were still. Fushita's whole body was frozen. He didn't dare to move at all. Megga, who saw that Fushita didn't answer, answered herself. "It seems like you don't want to answer. How sad. I was playing a guessing game. It's okay. I'll answer for you."
Megga smiled like an evil demon looking at Fushita whose eyes were staring at him. It wasn't because Fushita wasn't scared, but because he couldn't move his eyes. "Because I ate a child. Because of the rules of that round, I lost. Because I killed someone, no, because I ate someone dead. So I lost because I was disqualified." Megga said with a smiling face. Fushita who was touching Megga's shoulder didn't dare to move at all. His whole body was so scared that sweat was pouring down. His breath, as if he had encountered something terrifying, made him pant heavily.
Megga started to reach out her left hand to touch Fushita's right hand that was holding her shoulder. Then she lifted it gently. "Don't worry. I've told you before. I like to eat more, so will you be delicious enough for me to date you? I'll test it for you. Eating fresh human blood and eating all the blood of people, I like it very much. If you want to give me a gift, I want your red blood? "Megga licked his tongue a little because it seemed like saliva was going to flow out. Because he was hungry for blood immediately. Fushita, whose hand was removed, retreated and fell to the ground. With a thud, he fell to the ground with his butt, unable to stand. "..... What is this? A demon child, clearly a monster like this. I'm dead for sure!!!"
Ashami, who was running over, was about to stop him when he saw Fushita fall down. He started to look at Megga with curiosity. Why did Fushita look so surprised? Seeing Megga, who smiled a little, turning to look at him, he flinched unexpectedly. Fear began to cover himself. Ashami stopped until he couldn't take a step and saw a red aura erupting around Megga. "What kind of crazy kid is this!!? As if anyone who entered my territory could prepare to die...? This was the first time I've seen a child who could release such bloodlust. How dare you send this kind of monster to join the fight with us? Huh!!?» Ashami immediately wondered about the selection criteria for the contestants who sent Megga to compete at the same level as herself. Megga nodded at Ashami, then turned to look at Fushita, and reached out her hand.
Megga smiled at her. "Are you alright? You suddenly fell down. Are you injured anywhere?" Fushita looked at Megga's hand and tried to reach out to grab it, but she couldn't. She was sitting on the floor, and smiled. "Oh, it's fine. I'm just too lazy to get up." Megga stood up and put her hand back, then started to sit down after Fushita. "Alright, you seem tired. I'm tired too. I have to hold it in. So, the two of us are the same." Fushita smiled faintly as Megga sat down in front of her. «This thread is dangerous!!»
Asami started running again because she saw that Megga wasn't looking at her. She started to run to the two children and started to sit down. Time passed, and the three of them didn't say a word. Ashami saw that the two children did not think to start. Ashami introduced herself first, and then the three of them joined forces, with Ashami as the group leader.
Back to the present, Akira asked Ashami what exactly was Megga. Ashami shook his head at Akira. "I've only seen that child for a short while, but one thing is for sure, that child is so much better than me that they're on a different level. This is something I dare to say and am confident about." Akira nodded. "It's not strange that I only see it once in a while. Meeting a child who is better than me is something that might happen someday." Ashami, who was walking with Akira, started to see a group of children who were resting. The two nodded at each other and ordered the others to get ready, to ambush, to snatch the bracelet for their own team.
