Red Light
The Tournament of the Ominous Part 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhile Twilight and Ruby was en route to Mantle. Yang actually arrived at Atlas sooner due to the way she traveled. She wanted nothing to do with Twilight's request. But she knew she had to. Since lives were on the line. Donning her mask, and serpent tail. She parked her bike somewhere and started to roam the streets.
Just as Twilight instructed, she appeared weak and fragile. Her previous bright yellow clothing all but forgotten and instead she looked like a homeless girl. As she wandered the streets she knew her disguise was working when people look down on her. Specifically those richer looking folk. Eventually she entered a slums through an alleyway.
As she walked around, she felt pity stares and empathetic stares on her. Again another confirmation that her disguise worked perfectly. Until eventually a small little Faunus girl approached her. She was carrying alcohol and bread, both of which she appears far too poor for. And yet she had it.
"Bingo." Yang thought.
"Miss? My boss wants to talk to you." The girl asked, pushing her luck by using puppy eyes.
Yang rolled her eyes mentally, puppy eyes no longer worked on her due all the training. But she decided to act as if she has been taken by those eyes. "Of course dear. I will follow you." Yang said using a poor girl's voice.
The girl then grabbed Yang's hand as they walked among the slum dwellings. Until they eventually reached a house that looked much better than any other house near that area. Yang noticed an emblem on the house.
"Schnee... What the fuck. Why do they have a base in the middle of the slums? These fucking sick basterds." Yang thought but said nothing as the girl pushed her to enter the house.
"Alright dear. In I go." Yang was about to enter when a young girl blocked her path. Yang blinked as she took a closer look at the girl, the girl appeared different from the others somehow.
Yang awaited an answer, but noticed that either girl refused to talk or couldn't. So she took the lead instead. "What is it dear?"
Then using sign language she said the following, "Please don't enter. This house is bad. Please madam. Don't enter."
Yang was slightly taken aback by her statement as she took a closer look at the girl. The girl had two different eye colors and was generally really odd looking. Two different looking hair colors. Pink and brown. Just like a Neopolitan ice cream. But the girl looked like a fighter. Strong limb and arms, like an hidden warrior. Yang then visibly smiled at the girl.
"What is your name, dear?" Yang asked smiling.
"Neopolitan." The girl signed with her hands.
Yang gave a soft giggle, "How appropriate. Well then Neopolitan. Why is this place bad?"
Neopolitan was slightly surprised at Yang's ability to understand her, she gave a shy smile at her. "It belongs to the Schnee. They enslave people here. Poor people here." She signed.
That's when the door opened and punched her to the side. "Madam do come in. That girl is a nobody." The well dressed noble stated.
But instead of following the noble, Yang approached Neopolitan instead. "Do they have any family belonging to you?" She whispered.
Neopolitan was surprised at the question, she merely nodded.
"Then do not worry my child. I am a serpent in disguise. Here to teach these scumbags a lesson. Where?"
Neopolitan pointed north east. "Thank you miss." She signed.
Yang nodded, before turning her back on Neopolitan. "Do excuse my kindness sir. I am fond of children. Now, you wanted to see me?"
The noble scoffed at Yang, before returning with a smile. "Yes. Do come in first though."
Yang nodded, "Very well." Yang then decided to troll the noble by walking extra slowly inside. Intentionally walking slowly to piss him off, which seemed to work.
Yang eventually took a seat. "You wish to speak with me?" she slowly said.
The noble scoffed a few more times, "Yes. In exchange that you will give more bread to the community of the slums. I will let you work that off for a measly ten days. No strings attached." he said.
Yang knew that was false. The man would give fake promises to force people to work for the Schnee dust company. Like selling your soul to the devil. "Can I atleast choose where to work it off?" Yang asked.
"Of course madam. Where would you like to work?"
"Is there any place to the North East of here?"
"Oh yes. One of finest mines. They give people the best treatment of all locations."
Yang shuddered at that. It meant they give people the worst treatment possible there. But she managed to hide it. "Then... Sure. I will work such charity off." She said with a fake honest to goodness smile. The noble fell for it like there is no tomorrow.
"But... actually now that I think about it. I was asked an interesting question by someone. Who is mister Taurus?" Yang asked.
"Ah. One of the overseer of the Schnee mines. He is a noble man." The noble said in awe.
"Interesting." Yang thought.
"Then. When can I begin?"
"Immediately. There is a train station to the north of here. Climb on board that wagon and off you go." The noble instructed.
"Alright." Yang said as she once again slowly walked to the train. Only to get stopped by Neopolitan for a second time.
"What is it dear? You don't want me to go?"
Neo shook her head, "That train will enslave you. Please madam. Don't go." she signed.
Yang gave the girl an honest smile. "What does your people look like?"
Neo's eyes widen, "Brown ice cream and vanilla ice cream." She signed.
"Alright dear. Come a bit closer." Yang requested.
Neo got closer, and looked expectantly.
"Look what is on my arm." Neo looked down and saw Yang's shotgun bracelet. It made her realize what is about to happen.
"Those fuckers won't know what had hit them. Just don't follow my actions yes? I don't want anyone to be forced to do what I am about to do." Yang whispered in Neo's ear.
"Death?" Neo signed.
Yang nodded, "To the guards and their shit."
Neo made a wicked smile, "Go get them big sister." She signed as she gave quiet cheers to Yang.
Yang climbed on board and departed immediately. Giving soft waves to Neo as she departed.
---------------✴---------------
Back on board the VTOL to Mantle.
---------------✴---------------
"Interesting." Twilight said out of nowhere.
"Hm?" Ruby asked as she watched outside.
"Yang just changed the ominous future of one of our potentially antagonists. I say potentially, since she might have changed her future forever."
"For the better I hope?"
"Only time will tell."
"Only Yang will tell?" Ruby joked.
Twilight then bonked Ruby on the head as they watch the scenery slowly change from forests to plains with farm houses.
"We can see the tournament stadium from here." The pilot said as he opened one of the hatches.
Despite their still reasonably far distance. The overall scale of the arena is enormous. It was almost as big as entire Patch itself. It was massive.
"Where will we land?" Twilight asked.
"You see those landing pads in front of the arena? That is the place we need to land. But we first have to get there. The skies above the arena has been pre-routed. So we can only get close after firstly reaching Mantle and then the arena itself." The pilot explained.
"I see. And are we still on time?" Ruby asked.
"Barely. But yes." The pilot answered.
Twilight continued to look outside. Until eventually they see the ancient city of Mantle for the first time. It was an amazingly pretty city. Truly a tourist city as they said themselves. But the arena is clearly a highlight. Twilight could tell the the arena is older than the city itself. Building with even older building blocks than those found in the city itself.
"Nearly there." The pilot said anxiously.
Then thirty minutes before Twilight's first tournament fight, the VTOL successfully landed at the Mantle stadium.
"Alright now what?" Ruby asked.
"Go to the left. You will find the backstage there. Tell them that you are an participant of the tournament. Give them your number and ID. Then they will say the rest." The pilot instructed.
"Alright see you on the return route." Twilight said as the duo hurry to the left. Eventually reaching the entrance of the backstage.
"Halt. This is an entrance for participants only." The guard warned.
"But we are participants. Here our ID and participation number." Ruby asked as she gives the guard the information.
After a moment of looking over the paperwork, the guard nodded. "Alright. Who is Twilight?"
"That would be me." Twilight said.
"Alright. Your first match is in fifteen minutes. Your placement is on the left bracket. You will go against the champion of the previous tournament in your bracket. Your place is on the left of here. Number thirteen." The guard explained.
"Then you must be Ruby. Your placement is on the right bracket. You will go against the young skilled master of the previous tournament in your bracket, seeded two. Your place is on the right of here. Number Thirteen." The guard explained.
"Immediately?" Ruby asked for clarification.
"No. That will only happen if both of you reach the semi-finals." The guard added.
"What is our current match?" Twilight asked.
"Ruby goes against seeded number thirteen. The runner-up from the previous tournament. Twilight goes against a nobody. That is all. Get going!" The guard explained for the final time.
Twilight and Ruby split sides as they enter the room that was allocated to them. Twilight had to admit, these rooms were comfy. You'd think that they would give people poor mans rooms. But no, they felt so premium. It was actually kinda surprising. In a good way. As Twilight watched the on-going match, which was an exhibition match. She saw the current champion destroy a fighter like it was nothing.
"Bong!" The bell rang as the judges had enough.
"That was the match!" The judge shouted.
"If you could call it that!" The second judge said disappointed.
"That was definitely a slaughter~!" The third and final judge said excited.
"The next match is against two nobodies. The Red Dragon from Patch against The Macho from Vale. This match is due to happen in ten minutes. Fighters get in your positions!" The first judge shouted.
Twilight left the booth, Red dragon mask on her face. As she entered the ready position opposite to the other side.
"It would seem that both fighters are in position." The second judge stated.
"Macho seems a bit scared over there." The third judge announced.
"And the dragon?" The second asked.
"She seems calm. Though due to her mask, it's hard to tell." The third judge announced.
"Who do you think will win?" The first judge asked.
"I vote Macho." The third judge stated.
"I vote Dragon." The second judge stated.
"How indecisive." The first judge admitted. "I honestly don't know. In terms of age, the dragon is the same age as our unbeatable newcomer. But that might also be an disadvantage."
"Hm. I think I want to cast my vote to the Dragon." The first judge finally decided.
"2 vs 1. It seems the dragon has outvoted Macho. I suppose only their fight can decide the outcome." The third judge said disappointed.
"Alright. With that out of the way. Fighters enter the arena!" The first judge shouted.
The Macho enters with a bang, theatricals over any thing else. The crowd loves it. Meanwhile the red dragon appeared on the location of starting so fast, most eyes couldn't follow it. Much to the pleasant surprise of the ones wanting to see a strong opponent.
"Interesting. While Macho is definitely a show off. The Dragon is definitely strong. Like really strong. I think this is an uphill fight for Macho." The third judge commented.
"Agreed. My eyes could barely follow that fighter. My vote was the right call I feel." The second Judge admitted.
"I agree with you partner." The first judge said in agreeable tone.
"Alright. Both fighters get ready." The first judge shouted.
"Get Ready!" The second judge copied.
"Set!" The third judge shouted.
"Begin!" All three judge shouted at the same time.
The macho immediately start by throwing some heavy throws at Twilight. Twilight meanwhile simply dodge them without a care in the world. Twilight was calm, and hadn't thrown a single punch yet. The macho continued to throw all kinds of punches at Twilight, who dodged all of it, without hesitation.
"Wow. The dragon isn't even fazed by Macho. She is dodging the opponent's attacks left and right." The second judge commented.
"Yeah. Macho appears to hate it. Keep calm my friend. The more you get angry, the more likely the opponent can defeat you." The third judge warned.
The Macho then attempt to grapple Twilight. Twilight simply dodged his attempt. As she proceed to dodge his attacks in mid-air. Which is normally impossible. This continues to solidify the gap in skill between the Macho and the Dragon.
"Air dodges. Without much care. Wow. She is one scary opponent." The first judge commented.
"Hit me!" The macho taunted.
The dragon blinked, "If you say so." she said as she dished out an over the shoulder punch, hitting the Macho square on the chest, sending him flying backwards into the wall. And ending the match just like that. This caused the crowd to go wild.
"And that is the match. A single punch knocked the opponent out cold. The dragon is one scary mother fucker." The third judge said amazed.
"Game set! The Red Dragon is victorious!" The first judge shouted.
'I thought we were going to... Oh fuck it.' Ruby thought as a toothy smile appeared on her face.
"Dragon how do you feel about your match?" The third judge shouted.
But Twilight did not respond. She merely stared at her direction, before simply walking back to her booth.
"Alright. She gave me no chance." The third judge said slightly disappointed.
"Isn't that because you voted Macho, not Dragon?" The second Judge said with a raised eyebrow.
"Surely she isn't that petty?" The third judge denied. "Right?" she added in the hopes of a response from Twilight. But none were given.
"Let me try." The first judge said, "How was your first match, Red Dragon."
"Boring." The dragon responded with a yawn. As she left the stage.
The second and first judge smirked at the third judge. "You cannot be serious. Fuck you two." she said angrily.
The crowd laughed at her misfortune. Twilight quietly giggled as well.
"Anyways that was an... admittingly boring match as well. Perhaps the match up, Stone Golem vs Seeded number 13, the flying chicken. Is going to be more interesting." The first judge suggested.
"Huh. First the red dragon, now the stone golem? You think those two are together?" The second judge asked.
"I wouldn't be surprised. They are both the same rough age, though the stone golem is slightly older. Both female, both entered the tournament at the same time. An too interesting coincidence don't you think?" The first judge suggested.
"Anyhow. Both fighters get in your position booth." The first judge said as he switched gears.
"Wow. Both fighter are already in position. Man, that stone golem mask is so detailed. To the point its almost scary looking." The third judge commented.
"Yeah. My favorite fighter is look snazzy today as well. I hope he wins. But if the stone golem is anything like the red dragon... I think he might have an uphill fight right here." The second judge warned.
"Both fighters enter the arena!" The first judge shouted.
The flying chicken entered the arena with little theatrics, something the stone golem followed him in.
"Wow. The stone golem feels strong. I give them my vote." The first judge commented.
"I am obviously going for my favorite fighter, the flying chicken." The second judge commented.
"I think the underdog will win this as well. Stone Golem you have my vote." The third judge commented.
"Wow. Favorites or no, I think this will be an exciting match. Get Ready!" The second Judge shouted.
"Set!" The third Judge shouted.
"Begin!" The first judge finished.
The flying chicken instantly hit Ruby several times. And while Twilight has the tendency to dodge, she has the tendency to take the hits instead. Her aura was offline though while getting hit. Just like Twilight lacked Aura. She kept her aura offline most of the times. It was her way of respecting Twilight's way of combat. Regardless, Ruby tanked those strikes with ease.
"Oh my. The flying chicken has struck the stone golem several times!" The second judge commented excited.
"Hm. I see no flinching. The flying chicken's strikes aren't very strong it seems." The first judge noticed.
"Yeah. As the name states, the stone golem is known as a tank. They can take hits like no other can. In fact, they are known to take hits." The second judge explained.
The second judge glanced at his aura detector. But it stayed off. "Interesting. My aura detector isn't detecting any aura on the stone golem." he points his detector at the chicken, which did cause it to go off. "Whereas the flying chicken does have aura." he noted.
As Ruby tanked the next bunch of hits, she smiled. Causing the flying chicken to back off. "Oh I do have aura. But that is reserved for real threats." she casually mentioned. Her body then shifted into a offensive state, causing the flying chicken to tense.
"Is that so?" The second judge said with a raised eyebrow, "Then why aren't you using it?"
Ruby gave a soft smile as she lunged forward faster than the flying chicken can react. She extended her fist with such power and strength, that on sheer impact with the flying chicken's body, his body contorted as it flew back into the wall, no, through the wall and out the other side. Until eventually flying out of the arena into a random building. As he came to a rest.
"Because I would have killed him had I used aura." Ruby calmly finished.
The stadium was quiet. The judges had wide eyes from the event that happened before them. A twelve seeded got instantly done in by a child. And with enough force to break the surrounding barrier and out the other side. Whoever this child is, is a monster. And the crowd LOVED it. As they went wild in excitement.
"The stone golem wins!" The first and third judge said at the same time.
"Holy shit. She destroyed my favorite fighter." The second commented shocked.
"And the arena! We got to clean that up before we can do anything else!" The third judge commented slightly annoyed.
"This confirms it, the stone golem and the red dragon are definitely together. They will probably go duo on this as well. Watch out Champions! We got two monsters here to make your life hard." The first judge shouted in a challenging tone.
---------------✴---------------
Somewhere on the upper VIP rooms of the stadium.
---------------✴---------------
Pyrrha's mother stood on the balcony of the arena that was overlooking Ruby's fight a moment ago. She clearly heard the warning from the first judge as she frowns. This tournament was supposed to be an easy one. And yet, two powerful individuals suddenly appear to make that merely a dream. Pyrrha who was sitting in the background, also heard the warning.
"Mother." Pyrrha said as she looks up for moment, "How serious is that threat?"
"My dear..." Pyrrha's mother slowly turns to look into Pyrrha's direction. "They are both quite strong. Strong enough to put your championship in contention."
"I see. How young?"
"The stone golem looked like a seven year old, the red dragon appeared to be six years of age."
Pyrrha's eyes widen a bit, "Is that so?"
"The red dragon hopes to eventually challenge you. I don't know why she chose you over the actual champion, but that is what she choose."
"Mh. And do you think that wish will come true?"
"Only if the red dragon firstly beats the champion of this tournament. Then maybe." Pyrrha's mother said as turns around to look at the next match.
"How strong is the red dragon?" Pyrrha asked.
"I don't know. This is their debut. They were pretty strong during their first match. Oddly enough, I detected no aura from that girl. Nor did she carry any weapons. A true martial artist. I suppose just like the last. Only much younger."
"So the girl will go against someone of equal combat type? How interesting. I kind of want to watch it." Pyrrha said surprisingly curious.
"Understood."
As Pyrrha's conversation comes to an end, and the tournament goes back to commenting about each and every match. Ruby, Twilight and Pyrrha had to wait as dozens of boring matches went past. Including their own matches which were rather boring. Ruby took some hits, dealt some instant knock outs. Twilight couldn't get hit as she used the opponent bodies against them. And Pyrrha made short work of whoever stood in her way.
That all changed as soon as Twilight had reached the semi-finals. As her next opponent was going to be so difficult, she was unsure whether or not she actually stood a chance. The current champion is a martial artist, but not just any. One of the few hunters that carried a hunter license and had no aura. An insanely strong opponent and a friend to the wizard.
"And now ladies and gentleman. The fight you have all been waiting for! In one corner we got the monster, the wild card, the underdog. We have got the Red Dragon!" The first judge shouted super excited.
"In the other corner, the mighty, the hunter, the martial artist. The current champion, The Demon Commander!" the second judge shouted equally excited.
"Both are martial artists. Both have no aura. Both have destroyed the competition. One is young, the other older. This is going to be the fight of the century! I can see miss Pyrrha from here, she is also curious. I can also see the general of Patch from here, they are also excited. This is going to be one of the greatest fights we are ever going to see!" The third judge finished commenting.
"Both fighters, make your way to your position in the arena!" The first judge shouted.
The champion made a few excited pumps into the air as the crowd roared in his wake. The Red Dragon did not show any theatrics as her mere presence made people excited. They both took their position as they awaited further instruction.
"As this is the semi-finals, we, the three judge, will ask a question to each contestant. They need to answer them. When we are done, we will announce who we vote for. Then the match will begin soon after." The first judge explained.
"Firstly to the commander." The first judge said, "I assume you have been watching your competition. Do you think you will win?"
"It will be an uphill fight. But I am more experienced, so I think I will." The commander said humble.
"I also have a question for the commander." The second judge asked, "If Pyrrha lost against the stone golem, do you think you will win against them?"
The commander shook his head, "Unlikely. The stone golem is simply too strong."
"Final question to the commander." The third judge asked, "Are you really going to retire if you gain champion again?"
The commander nodded, "I sadly will. Headmaster Ozpin of Beacon has a task for me. That will take absolute priority."
"I know I am not allowed to ask questions. But what sort of task if I am allowed to know?" Twilight interfered.
The commander looks at Twilight for a moment before smiling, "I need to protect a girl from a fairy tale."
Twilight eyes widen, "Ah. I see. Now I see why he is in such a sudden hurry." her smile turns intentionally wicked for a second. As she probes for a reaction out of the commander.
The commander blinked surprised and confused for a moment. But before he could question it, the judges decide to ask Twilight a question.
"Red Dragon do you think you will win?" The first judge asked.
"It will definitely be an uphill fight for me. So I don't know. But I will definitely try to go for an upset win." Twilight said optimistically.
"Interesting answer, What is your opinion on Pyrrha?" The second judge asked.
"My sister, the stone golem will definitely lose. She is strong, but Pyrrha is experienced against similar opponents, so I don't expect much from my sister. That said, I think Pyrrha will have a hard time against me. Since I am a user of irregular attacks. I don't fight by the book, which could throw her off. I hope I get to fight her." Twilight answered honestly.
"What is your opinion on the headmaster of Beacon, Ozpin?" The third judge asked.
Twilight smile turns slightly evil on purpose, her eyes glanced over Ruby for a second. "Overrated. For a headmaster, he makes an awful amount of mistakes. And that while he carries Beacon and Vale. His stance is far to relaxed, I expect not much from him in the future."
"WHAT?!" The commander shouted enraged.
"I mean, he nearly killed a bunch of his students. All because they were overconfident. And he trusted too much. Geez, I wonder what his future will bring." Twilight added flames to the fire.
"How the fuck do you know that?!" The commander shouted shocked.
"Mister Commander. I am from Patch. How do you think I know about that?" Twilight simply replied.
"That's still classified information!" The commander shouted annoyed.
"Oh well. I suppose the whole arena now knows." Twilight said with an innocent smile.
"Son of a bitch. I will kill you!" The commander shouted enraged as he activates his aura.
"Let's see you try."
The commander roared enraged as he looks at the now stunned judges. "Well, what the fuck are you three waiting for? Begin the fucking match!"
"Ah. Ready, Set, Begin!" The first judge quickly stated.
The commander then launched forwards used his hands into the crab pose. Twilight rapidly dodged his first grapple, by moving backwards. Twilight then wasted no time as she used her knee to slam it into the bottom of his face, turning it into a uppercut using her knee. This caused the commander to stumble backwards. But regains it fast enough that Twilight can't strike him again.
The commander then launches forwards several times in an attempt to grapple Twilight. Causing him to miss every time, and allowing Twilight to punch him several times. These punches had no real weight in it yet. As the commander had yet to throw deadly punches yet. Causing Twilight to hold herself back several times.
"Tell me! How the fuck do you know?!" He shouted as he switched from attempted grapples to super fast and super powerful jabs. Twilight was still somehow faster as she dodged the jabs all the same. Twilight didn't respond and instead threw a few powerful jabs herself. Most didn't hit, but some did.
As she finally took a hit, she smiled, "Simple. Me and my sister stopped them from going to their deaths." She said as she got pushed back. Twilight then switched gears into a more suppressive type combat style, she then attempted to strike several fatal points on his body. Most failed to hit the intended target but still hit his body. All but one failed. The one that hit, struck his spinal cord. Causing him to stumble for a moment.
"Somehow I don't believe you." The commander shouted angrily. He was still stunned as Twilight proceeded to strike his knees several times, causing him to weaken somewhat. But despite getting weaker and thus slower. He continued to throw powerful jabs into Twilight's direction. Until eventually Twilight misjudged the angle of his attack, causing Twilight to get struck into the belly and slammed into the protective ring around the arena grounds.
"Argh!" Twilight shouted in pain. The commander stood there angrily. "Now DIE!" he shouted as he switched gears into a more deadly strike. Twilight then managed to avoid his deadly punches thankfully. Until Twilight had no choices left, she had to both go serious and deadly herself. Something she wished she didn't have to do.
"I am sorry dad." Twilight said quietly. Her stance turns deadly as she turns into the dragon combat style. Using a style taught by Tai, Twilight used the famed, 'Flaming Dragon Punch,' on The commander. She did it, so fast. That Twilight broke the Commander's aura, upper and bottom leg bones at the same time. Until she eventually back down.
The commander was knock out cold as the sheer pain of breaking ones aura and his legs had taken its toll on him. He was knock out cold for a while. And Twilight saw the handy work of her actions. The commander was going to be paralyzed thanks to her. Thankfully for the commander, Twilight wasn't going to let that stay that way. But he was going to be like that for the rest of the tournament.
"The winner is The Red Dragon!" The three judges shout at the same time. Causing the crowd to go wild. But both Ruby and Pyrrha didn't feel like celebrating. They saw the look on Twilight's face, it was a sad one. She had to go and do something, something awful.
"How do you feel about your win, red dragon?" The first judge asked excited for a moment, but the look on her face made him drop his excitement.
"I... I had to break someone's legs to win... I... feel like crying." Twilight admitted saddened.
"Cry-" The second judge was about to ask about the good or the bad kind. But the first judge shut his mouth.
"The bad kind." Twilight replied nonetheless. "Nobody should have to become paralyzed for something like that."
"He tried to kill you. I think what you did is still somewhat tame." The third judge commented.
"He could have saved lives. Now he is paralyzed over a stupid fight." Twilight rejected his comment.
"That's... true. Shit." The third judge admitted as he admitted fault for the stupid comment.
Author's Note
Just because Twilight and Ruby is able to go deadly. Doesn't mean they are always mentally prepared to go deadly. No child should ever need to do, what Twilight just did. And that is to break someone's legs in order to survive. That said, like is mentioned before, that isn't the end for his career just yet. Thank god he faced against a being of magic and not a barbarian. There is still hope for him yet, something you will find out in the next chapter. Sorry for the short chapter, but other wise this chapter would be ten thousand words at the minimum. That and sorry for the lack of chapters. I fell ill and got Covid-19. Even right now as I type, I still got it. But I will soon get back to it. I am mostly healed from being ill, but it's not entirely gone yet.
Next Chapter
