"So Amari is going against Rachel first? Did you talk to her about it?" I asked, looking at Mom standing next to me in the arena stands.
"Yes, just a quick discussion about not letting her emotions get the better of her."
"You think she is going to mop the floor with her." I said thoughtfully knowing how power Amari really is.
"… I don't know; a lot can happen in half a year."
"Yes, thats true but both of them changed a lot in the last half a year. She also had that raid the other day that bumped her level up quite a bit." I said shrugging.
"Amari should win." Mom stated just as we saw the announcers get into their booth.
"Ah, it seems like it's going to start." I said looking up at the booth.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Isnt a good day for some more blood mshed and fights?"
"This guy is annoying." I muttered, with Mom grunting in agreement.
"Now first up we have the all-lovable saintess against the child killer Amari Draig! Will justice win or will the murderer keep on killing?!" The second announcer said, getting a few glares from his partner next to him.
"Where is kayda?" I asked realizing the other announcer was not her but some angel lover.
"She will be on the arena floor to make sure what happened before doesn't happen again." Mom explained makingme sigh in anopuce it wasnt amaris fault she kille 70 kids.
"And you don't think this will put a lot of pressure on her?" I said glancing down at her.
"Nah, she will be fine." Mom said waving me off but not sounding very confident about it herself.
'Sometimes I just dont know what is she thinking.' I thought taking something to drink out of my storage.
"Hey, give me one as well." Mom said, holding out her hand.
"Sure?" I said, Give her a can.
"Kitsuna, just to make sure, what is your backup plan?"
"... It's to make them underestimate me." I simply said not looking at her.
"Oh, alright, I guess you will use that."
"Hmm, that might be good to. Alright I will have that in mind at the time."Mom said making me raise an eyebrow.
"Yeah, i am also busy leveling up." I added with a smirk.
"Were?" Mom asked not expecting answer to it.
"That I am not going to say."
"Fine. Ah, there is kayda and amari them."
"Hmm, why is Rachel dressed like that." I said looking weirdly at the full armorded angel walking iut.
"Full magic resistance armor?" Mom said reconizing it somehow.
"Yeah like that will work." I scoffed, shaking my head.
Looking at the three in the arena, i saw them talk with each other and surprisingly i couldnt hear anything. Looking at kayda i raised an eyerbow knowing she might have put a barrier on to cancel sound.
"Kayda didn't put up a barrier." Mom said giving me her scroll.
"What do you mean this is all part of evalution rachel!" I haerd amari yell from the scroll.
"Amari, you won't understand if i explain it like this. I must show you the way." I heard rachel say while she took out her brawd sword.
"Seriously, I can't understand you anymore. We were so good friends not even a year ago why?" Amari said sounding quite hurt.
"Why? Amari, i was showed where i belonged. The draigs took me from it when i was younger." Rachel said
"What? Is it now a revenge story?" Amari said annoyed.
"Revenge: a saintess will never harbor hate. I do not hate the draig." Rachel said smiling all the way.
"Then what is all this? Why invade?" Amari said making my ear purk up.
"Invading? No we are liberating this kingdom." Rachel said getting a grunt out of mom.
"Liberating? Do you even understdna what you are saying?" Amari said tilting her head at Rachel.
"Of course I do."
"No no, you dont realise what you are doing. Its been like this for years with you. You always jump into things with half you head dead not thinking just doing." Aamri said with a small smile realizing that rachel hasnt actually changed that much.
Not saying anything, rachel ran at amari swinging her sword at amaris waist.
Seeing this happen, kayda moved off the arena floor while amari casually caught the sword with her left hand.
"Thank you for proving my point. Rachel did you forget who my mother is?" Amari asked glaring down at rachel who was trykng there best to get her sword back.
"Let go!"
"Sure." Coating her right hand in mana amari hit rachel in the stomach making her shoot back a few meters with her sword.
"Oh, they really are quite ristant to magic." Amari said seeing that there was no mark on rachels armor.
"So it cancels magic?" I asked looking at mom.
"Yeah, but also mean rachel cant ise her light magic." Mom said making me facepalm.
"Hmm, so amari should win this before Rachel removes her armor."
"Yes, but then amari can't go all out with her magic. They in a stalemate right now." Mom explained making me shrug.
"Hahah, not really this is your daughter." I scoffed.
"... right?"
"Alright, lets do this the hard way Rachel." Amari said taking out two daggers.
"Heh, as if you, a sage can use those." Rachel yelled attacking amari again.
"Yeah, but then again i am a draig." Amari said easily deflecting her sword and stabbing rachel in the arm.
"Ugh," groaning in pain rachel slammed the ground sending out a wave off light magic making amri jump back dodging it.
While jumping back amari made multiple balls of mana shooting it at rachel making sure she couldnt follow up with her attack.
"Why is she just using mana with out any element." I asked actually intrueged why.
"Elements wont work at all against ristance armor but mana might get through at some point. It also uses less mana." Mom explained making me nod not really tried it before.
"Ah I see. I didnt know that."
"Now shut up and let them go on."
Jumping to the side amari dodge another useless lunge from Rachel. This time, Amari took atvantage of that stupidity of rachels and cut off her arm.
"Aaagh!!" Shouting in pain, Rachel dropped to her inees holkng her right arm.
"Give up."
"I would never!" Rachel yelled jumping away light magic come out of her arm regrowing her right arm.
Holding out her regrown right arm rachel shot out dozens of light spears at amari. Amari just looked at the casually making a small barrier to block all the attacks.
"You are still as weak as ever." Amari said, Close the distance with Rachel.
"And the winner is Amari Draig!!" The announcers yelled, surprising everyone.
But it seemed Kayda knew it would happen, seeing her standing between Rachel and Amari.
"What is the meaning of this?" Rachel asked, confused and angry.
"Rachel, it seems your parent has withdrawn you from the competition." Kayda said, tapping Amri on the shoulder, making her relax.
"I see, until next time, amari." Rachel said, Way to calm, making me shudder.
"I am going. the next few fights don't mean much to me." I said standing up.
"Isn't it Katie next?"
"No, she is just before Zagan's fight. Don't worry, we will be watching those two." I said giving a nod.
"Have we even seen Zagan in the last few days?" I added.
"I found him and he will be showing up dont worry." Mom said walking away.
A few minutes later we walked into amaris changing room at the arena.
"Why did they back off like that." Amari asked instantly when we walked in.
"I dont know." Mom said looking her daughter up and down.
"They mostlikly realised that you going to cut her armor up before ending the fight."
"Tsk, thought i was masking that part."
"You werent doing it enough."
"Yeah well with them calling her saintess and all braking her equipment is probably all i could do."
"We understand."
