Waking up from the terrible nightmare, I moved my body up. Livie and Serena were already awake due to the fact they slept early.
"Babe, did you have a nightmare?" I haven't had a nightmare in ages. I remembered everything in that dream. My body was drenched in a cold sweat. Erasing them with my magic, I felt much more comfortable.
"Yes, I did," I told the truth.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I shook my head, saying that I didn't want to. How could I talk about her death right in front of her?
"Then let me comfort you." Livie had her hands on my head. She was dragging my face toward her breast. If it were any other day, I would have resisted.
But as my mood plummeted, I stayed between her breasts, letting the soft temptation take me away. Serena, who wasn't in the room earlier, had just returned.
"Let me have a try." With Serena in the mix, I was surrounded by two pairs of their breasts.

We got ready and checked in at the battle stadium a few hours later. Today would be the day when four of our team members would be assembled.
The stadium we were in was already filled out before the main event started. And the event was even more organized.
I couldn't think that yesterday's event had almost no effort compared to today's. The only thing yesterday's event was the guards controlling the unruly crowd.
Not only would we have an announcer, but the production was much better. The money they made yesterday had gone somewhere.
"Hello! Voice Check!" A loud voice vibrated among the crowd. Looking at where the voice had come from, we could see a woman in her private area talking with a voice amplifier.
"Ahem!" Clearing her throat, she began to talk.
"Welcome, everyone! To today's Youth Qualifiers. Today we will choose the four winners of today's match to be our country's representative!" The audience was cheering loudly when the announcer said that.
"Before I talk too much! I want to welcome our contestants!" With this welcoming act, a hundred students my age walked in.
Did they eliminate more people than I thought they would? Taking Livie and Serena back home made me miss some additional events, but it doesn't matter with them gone.
Looking at the one hundred students, many different reactions could be seen within them. The apparent reactions were nervous ones. Everyone could see they were scared, even if they tried to hide it.
Next would be the attention seekers. I couldn't help but despise people like these. If they mess our team up because they want to do something cool, I might not hold back and kill them.
Then the minorities were the expressionless people. They're the ones you look out for. Of course, they could be pretentious, but it doesn't matter if they win.
"Out of these hundred young adults! Only four of them would be our winners!" The announcer had said, which riled out the crowd.
"Right before we begin our battle! I want to explain the rules for the next battle!"
"These hundred participants will be grouped into groups of ten!"
"Once paired with one another, you will fight everyone in that group!"
"After fighting nine people from your group! Only two people per group would advance to the next round! So, everyone! If you want to advance, win all your matches!"
Only twenty people would make it to the next round. Cutting off the rest and the twenty people would be the main event. That's cruel if you think about it, but that is also how competition works.
"That's a lot of elimination." Livie was surprised that so many people would be out.
"That's how competition is." Serena, like me, thought the same.
With the rules explained by the announcer, a hundred students were randomly grouped into groups of ten.
I liked this rule set. This battle would allow you to fight many different opponents, making you display the skill sets that you will have.
"Who do you think would win?" Livie had asked.
"There are too many people to choose from." I wasn't an expert at knowing who was strong. So I couldn't tell.
Ten arenas were coming out at the same time. Sometimes, I couldn't help but be amazed by their technologies.
From what I saw, there were ten arenas, judging by how the arena's design is placed. Ten battles would happen at the same time.
These eighty people who will be eliminated are the opening act of today's show. They're just stepping stones for the other twenty.
"With everything ready! I would like to start this event!" Having everything in place, there wasn't any need to stall.
Everyone spectating couldn't wait any longer. If anyone else was to make the event on hold, I could tell that they would riot.
Beginning the event, twenty participants began stepping into the ring. Having to look at the ten arenas, it would be to watch all of them at the same time.
"Olivia, Charlie, look at that girl." Serena was laughing while pointing at her.
Livie and I saw where Serena was pointing. I couldn't help but give a wry smile seeing what the girl was doing.
Serena pointed at the girl, who was shaking like a vibrator. Her actions had garnered the action of many. But I don't think she was incompetent. From how she made it this far, there wasn't any way for her to win if she was weak.
"Let the battle begin!" The announcer had been talking this whole time and had just started the battle. The twenty people in the ring were now beginning to fight.
There were three types of fights happening in the ring. The first type was people dominating their opponent. Some of the participants were destroying the others.
Next were people that were evenly matched. Battles like these would take longer to finish. And finally, people were fighting slowly, testing out the waters.
I couldn't wait to see how the matches would turn out.
