The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 359 - Hatred

After the 15 minute breaks, the competition would resume. The shouts of the spectators for their chosen participant grew louder.

While Rea was just quietly and calmly watching, Yana, on the other hand, joined in the shouting. She shouted for her brother to win. Even though her voice was overwhelmed by the loud shouts of other spectators, it did not shake her and she shouted repeatedly like the others.

"Big brother! You can do it!"

"Big brother! You can DO IT!"

"Big brother! YOU CAN DO IIIIT!

Her voice grew louder. The three next to her were a bit surprised. Even Rea was impressed with the support she gives to her older brother. Because of her dedication, Bob shouted out as well in support of his friend.

Rea and Chloe remained just silently watching. However, that didn't mean they weren't excited about the next fights. Rea was getting interested somehow. Especially since her stakes are the biggest.

But, 'Hmm… if Crimson loses the competition I will charge him,' Rea thought.

Although she was very confident that Yman would win, she still couldn't help but be open-minded to what might happen. Not because she thinks the other participants were strong, but because a lot could happen in the fight. For example, what if Yman's stomach suddenly hurts before their fight. That's just one of the unexpected phenomena that could happen that will lower his success rate.

Well, honestly, she also could not deny that the others have strength as well. Especially that Almina Amulet. In fairness, she was not only pure beauty, but she also had the strength to be proud of. In the fight earlier, Rea secretly cheered that the Encan lady, Rei-Rei, would have won. Not because they were of the same race origin, but because she wanted to see Almina lose the match. However, Almina is just really strong.

Rea secretly sighed at Rei-Rei's defeat. 'Well, kudos to Almina. She is good in fairness,' Rea admitted. In fact, she has nothing against her. She was just curious what kind of face Almina would be showing once she lost. 

Inside the VIP room could also be seen that everyone was excited about the coming matches. Although they all have big stakes in this competition, they were more concerned about what would happen next. The stakes were just a filler to add excitement to this competition.

While everyone was to see the coming matches, the smile on Principal Kim's lips was different. In his mind, 'Finally! The one I've been waiting for has finally arrived,' he exclaimed inwardly.

Before the competition started again, Kiko's MTMD rang out. He received a message from an unexpected person.

He hurried out of the waiting area and went to the back, to the alley, where the person who had texted him was waiting.

Right when he came back, the selection of who would fight for the next fight had already begun. The smile on Kiko's face was somewhat different. Each of them was in a different room to give them space to concentrate in preparation for their upcoming biggest match in this competition.

Contrary to Kiko's expression, Yman's complexion was pale and gloomy. His stomach was frequently growling. As though a pact of hungry beasts were inside. He went back and forth on the toilet. He did not know why his stomach suddenly hurt. He didn't eat anything that he thought was the cause of his stomach ache. And why does it have to be now when the match is about to begin! Such bad timing.

GRR!

Again, his stomach thundered, so he hurried back to the comfort room. Yman has a bad feeling about this.

When he returned to his resting room, <Partner, are you okay?>

Well, I'm not as you can see," he replied lazily and honestly to Sistela's question.

<Oh no! The battle is about to begin! Take medicine first, fast!> 

"....."

"If I had to leave to take medicine, I might not be able to enter the fight. Especially since the selection of the first pair has already begun. "

"Besides, if the medics find out about my condition, they might just stop me from participating."

Sistela realizes that what her partner said was right.

<Oh no, the fight hasn't started yet but it looks like we'll lose right away!> Sistela shouted in panic.

"Well, let's just pray that I won't be the first to enter the match—"

GRRR!

"Tsk! Again?!" He swiftly went back to the toilet.

Honestly, that was his only hope so that he could take the medicine first. He had elixirs stored in his Cyber ??Storage, and he also had healing ability, but those were not cures for his condition right now, so they are all useless this time.

Unfortunately for Yman, "It's decided!" Mora Liz's voice resounded loud and clear when the selection stopped and two profiles appeared on the floating monitor.

WOOOAAAAAHHH!!!

The spectators made a thunderous howl upon the appearance of two contestants' names.

"Friends! The first fight for the final four is between Crimson and the Fire God! Let's give our brave warriors loud applause as we call for their presence to bless the stage!" Mora Liz shouted on top of her lungs.

The plaza seemed to be vibrating from the loud cheering of the audience. A flock of tiny colorful birds nesting at the nearby chapel scattered away in the sky as though startled from the sudden roar of the spectators.

At that moment, the noise all at once disappeared when they heard footsteps coming from the two passages of the waiting room. The two contestants did not pass through the same passage this time. They passed through passages from the opposite sides.

Upon standing in the middle of the stage, everyone immediately noticed the overflowing confidence in Kiko's face. But deep inside, his hatred towards Yman continuesly growing every second.

"Now the toad can taste the bitterness of my friend's revenge!" Bruno shouted. He added, "Beat up that worthless person Kiko my dude!"

"Right! Embarrass that frog to all the spectators and in front of Miss Almina!" Marco also shouted following Bruno.

Upon seeing their friend, Kiko's friends started to make noise. They shouted their resentment feeling for their most hated person.

Contrary to them, Yman's friend and those who were acquainted with him fell silent when they saw Yman's complexion.

"Eh? Why does my brother look sick?" Yana asked with a frown.
