FWF Chapter 425 Before the First Match
Chapter 425 Before the First Match
"So verbose, meow~"
"That's right, we should just get started!"
"Alright, it's about to start, no rush."
When faced with criticism from Kuroka and Leone, Nagatsuki Minami smiled and comforted them.
After all, the rules of this thing need to be explained more clearly.
That way, everyone will understand the rules.
It wasn't that I was just doing manual labor to increase the word count by systematically organizing the data.
While Nado was listening to his introduction, Rias's side was quite lively.
Kiba Yuto frowned slightly and said, "In that case, we have to fight Ye Xiao twice?"
Hyoudou Issei instantly went berserk: "No way! We're going to fight Akatsuki twice!?"
"Ara ara~ Phoenix's Tears, Akatsuki won't use it himself, and right now we're at Akatsuki's limit."
Himejima Akeno looked helpless, then cheered up and said, "So this time, everyone just needs to give it their all for the club president!"
"Understood! We will all give it our all!!"
As Nadu finished explaining the rules, the match was about to begin: "Everyone, the match is finally about to start!"
The referee, Rudiger, announced loudly, "I hereby declare the ranking game between Abel Astaroth and Rias Gremory officially open!"
As the referee finished speaking.
The sound from the venue resounded through the sky.
"The first match is about to begin."
Ye Xiao and Rias picked up the dice from the setting table again.
Rudiger raised his hands and said seriously, "Please roll the dice!"
Both sides throw the dice into the air.
The dice on the projection screen started spinning and quickly stopped. Ye Xiao's number was 4, and Rias's number was 2.
"It's happened! The dice have rolled a 6!"
Nadu's commentary began, then continued, "Since both sides require a large number of points, they can be eliminated immediately. Whether they will field chariots, knights, or bishops, let's wait and see!"
Rudiger then announced, "The discussion will last five minutes. Please select your participants during this time! Also, the 'Soldier' rank upgrade is available upon arrival at the venue!"
The moment the discussion of combat began, a soundproof barrier immediately enveloped both sides' positions.
Even on the live stream projection, everyone's mouths were blurred out.
Rias is inside the soundproof barrier.
"Besides the Knight and Kuroka, we don't know the abilities of the other members of Ye Xiao's retinue who appeared this time."
Rias tapped her fingertips on the table, then continued to the group, "And since the total points are 6 this time, who do you think is suitable to play in this match?"
"Let me go."
Kiba Yuto stood up, then looked at Geronvia, Gaspar, and Valerie and asked, "The three of you, which one of you will come with me?"
Of the three, all except Gaspar were eager to try.
"Valérie, you can go with Kiba to this match."
Rias then spoke up, and continued, "Jerovia uses a greatsword, which is slightly better when paired with Gaspar, so I'll leave this match to you, Kiba, Valerie."
Valerie nodded and said, "No problem."
On Ye Xiao's side, Erica and Liliana stood up straight, both with eager smiles. Erica spoke first: "Liliana and I will go in as the two knights; we're the best team!"
Nangong Nayue, holding her teacup, smiled and said, "It wouldn't be bad for me to appear as a bishop paired with a knight. My magic is both offensive and defensive, making it more adaptable."
Hei Ge leaned on Ye Xiao's shoulder and said nonchalantly, "I don't care. Of course, it would be even better if I could run into a kitten."
Leone, Sylvanas, and Esdeath remained silent.
After all, they weren't going to be in the first round.
"Alright, that's settled then."
Ye Xiao looked at everyone and finally made the decision: "This match will be between Nangong Nayue and Erica, one a bishop and the other a knight. Just perform normally on the field."
Five minutes have passed.
The barrier was still there, but the projection in the sky was completely dark.
After all, the contestants' appearances need to be shrouded in mystery.
Rudiger announced again: "Please step forward and enter the magic circle! The contestants will be transferred from the magic circle to a battlefield in another dimension, where the competition will be held. The battlefield will be randomly selected from various candidate venues."
"In addition, before moving to the battlefield, the positions of both sides will be blocked by a barrier and become invisible. This barrier will only be removed after a match ends."
The magic circle is a venue that teleports players to other dimensions.
The main hall will not be used as a battlefield.
Yuto Kiba and Valerie, and Natsuki Minami and Erica, each stood in front of their respective magic circles.
"Let's go!"
"We're leaving!"
The magic circle instantly emitted light, and the figures of the four participants disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, several projections appeared on the position.
There were projections of Ye Xiao and Rias, projections of special guests, and another projection showing the situation in the audience.
The largest projection, however, is the projection of the battlefield!
The four people were teleported to an ancient castle, where the pitch-black night scene was illuminated only by torches.
Immediately afterwards, Nagatsuki Minami, Erica, Yuto Kiba, and Valerie appeared in the castle's living room.
Nangong Nayue landed slowly on one side of the field, her purple dress swaying gently in the wind. She held a parasol in her hand. Erica changed into her combat outfit and looked around.
Opposite the two, Kiba Yuuto and Valerie appeared together.
All four of them appeared on stage, and the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Nadu's explanation began.
"Wow, the first contestant from the non-blocked area has appeared! The venue is a huge castle! This dark and gloomy castle is the stage for the first match!"
"When the sum of the numbers is 6, the families of both parties will appear."
"Rias's familiars are the lightning-fast nobleman Kiba Yuuto and the vampire sleeping beauty Valerie—!!!"
"Kiba—!"
"Valérie—!"
Incited by Nadu, the audience, both men and women, screamed and shouted.
Then Nadu changed the subject.
"And on Abel's side, the intermittent witch Nagatsuki and the contemporary Italian crimson demon Erica Brantri—!!"
"Erica—!!"
"The Gap Witch—!!"
The cheers were even louder than before.
Meanwhile, the family members were in the audience.
Nangong Xingyao waved the flag and shouted, "Go Mom! Mom's the best!!"
Many people are also cheering for the two.
The lineup for the opening match immediately piqued everyone's interest.
