Everia - Nelo Well, that is one hell of a performance from Everia's demonstration match. Summoning magic is pretty impressive, though it's a bit slow to startup for my taste. As much as the General's sidelined, he's probably holding back for the sake of a "demonstration"; with how long for the summoning sequence to take form, Freila should've been filled with lead.

"Solvei. you're up." A staff notified me.

Guess my number's up. I said to Yotta I'll refrain from using magic, but to be honest, I'm not confident that I can restrain this body's natural instinct. Let's make a mental note of list of things that can break Red's cosmetic alteration. Key point is "my own magic activation", so fire is obviously banned. Considering there may be ranged opponents, I'll need my sword for parrying just in case. But there's also the likelihood that this body will go for the magic-guided sword boomerang trick back in the marsh. Just to be safe, I'll assume touching the sword is enough to activate the skill, then it's best that I refrain from ever reaching my sword as much as possible. Then, all that's left is footwork and hand-to-hand combat. ....Man, it's just one limited options after one limited options in my fights.

Just as I approach the entrance, the staff asked, "Is this your first time?" "Huh, yeah." I mean, who am I to lie. "First-time jitters huh, your weapon's out before even heading to the main stage." the staff replied, looking at my sword. Well, if he's making up the story for me who am I to deny it? I brushed my hair sheepishly, though the staff is pretty understanding about it. "Well, the most important thing to remember is that the Great Sage organized this to promote foreign relationships. Like Maiden Araya said earlier, temper our swords as brother-in-arms." Heh, if you say so.

As I stepped into the stage, I felt the sights of millions staring down. Hurk. I feel like I'm going to hurl. Let's just get this over with ASAP; I'd take facing down a legion of Grotesque over this anytime. I feel more at home admist a legion of Grotesques out for my guts then a cheering crowd.
