Book 6: Chapter 7
<strong>The Stadium Bleachers</strong>
Jeremy Atwood finds himself sitting at the edge of his seat as he watches the fighting going on in the arena below. As his favorite amongst the new Guardians the magical girl themed Guardian titled the Pink Rose fights the demons by summoning various things around her that would bemonly seen in a childrens toy set. Things like stuffed animals and toy cars and trains and the like. And throws them all at the demons, dealing far more damage than those items would normally do, even with their enhanced size.
Ooo, and it looks like the Pink Rose isnt holding back in the slightest! But what will she do now that the Rifted One ising for her?! Jeremy hears one of thementators other than the ck Knight dering, her voice echoing throughout the stadium. And the words instantly bring Jeremys attention over towards the man running towards her. A man who is wearing clothing thatpletely blocks his appearance from the audience along with a mask on his face.
Jeremy frowns at that as one of his friends mutters, Thats the death magic guy, right? You think the Pink Rosell stand a chance against him?
Then another one simply shushes him as Jeremy sees that very same friend pointing at him. And all of his friends go silent at that, not saying another word.
Since they all know hes a big fan.
Jeremy scoffs while crossing his arm and saying, Theres no way hell beat her. Death magic doesnt work on her creations. You should know that.
But itll work on her, the same friend who had first spoken up about herments, making Jeremy turn a re on him.
Only for his eyes to widen in shock when he sees whats behind him, not saying another word. And its not just him, but everyone behind him quickly freezes in shock.
After a few seconds of his staring, the others ask, Jeremy? You okay? Jeeerremmmyyyy! Anyone home? Hey, Jeremy!
A few more seconds pass, and the stunned silence of the audience behind them slowly morphs into roaring shouts. And it takes less than a second after that for Jeremy to snap out of his own stupor, with their shouts ringing in his ears.
Its the Princess! The Princess is here! Shes heere!!!! Scaarlet!!! Scarlet notice me!
By this point his friends all turn around as well and freeze up too. Meanwhile Jeremy just shoots to his feet like a lot of the other audience members are doing.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the vition.
With everyone staring and trying to get the attention of the beautiful woman walking down the stairs between the bleacher seats.
The woman has glowing red eyes with long ck hair and red highlights and is wearing a ck jacket with red trim over a ck shirt and pants. But everyone knows her clothing is all made out of blood she herself has made. And as she walks with her hands in her jacket pockets and not even so much as ncing at the audience members around her, her hair flutters in the artificial wind flowing through the bleachers.
<em>Its really her</em>
Out of every demon and Guardian on Earth, the most well-known one is Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron. Originally known as The Scarlet Wolf, thenter known as the Apex Predator of Humanity, and various other Titles over the years.
Shes the most powerful being on Earth, far surpassing even the Knights of Humanity at this point, and possibly even surpassing the Demon King himself.
Yet, despite all of that, she still takes the time to save people all across the world all the time from the Corrupted Fractures.
Shes Jeremys favorite Guardian by far. If she counts as a Guardian, since she is supposedly more demon now than human.
In fact, shes a lot of peoples favorite Guardian. And since shes one of the reasons Earth still exists, it makes sense that she would be.
Jeremy cant believe his eyes as he watches her calmly walk down the stairs, quite literally forcing anyone who tries to enter the stairs to follow after her back out of the aisle again without even looking at them. And after walking down past Jeremy and his group, she finally turns out of the isle and into one of the lower VIP seating areas meant for ss III and ss IV Guardians and demons. One that doesnt have a wall to give privacy, but does at least have better seating and a better view of the arena.
There she smiles at and joins some of the Guardians in there. Some Guardians that Jeremy vaguely recognizes from somewhere.
Isnt that one of Jeremys friends mutters, making him and his other friends turn to look at him.
What? Jeremy asks, a frown on his face as he nces back and forth between his friend and the Warden.
I think the friend begins before ncing at Jeremy, that those people were part of the Wardens team back when she went to Lions Heart Guardians University.
Jeremy quickly turns to look at them again, and he quickly realizes just where he recognizes them from.
Its from the Interschool Tournament years ago, when Scarlet hadstpeted herself. And when she was participating in a team once.
Back before she was very powerful, which is saying something since it was only a few years ago.
Youre right Jeremy mutters, all thoughts about the magical girl Pink Rose gone from his mind as he and all of the people in the audience around him focus all of their attention on the Warden, who had just passed by them. A once in a lifetime event.
Being so close to the Warden herself.
The Wolf of the Blood Moon.
At this point there are entire TV shows based on her rise to power, and shes the mostmon topic in any news station. So pretty much everyst person on the knows about her.
A lot of the people around them are even bringing out their phones and taking pictures, but that doesntst long when walls of blood metal appear around the VIP booth, blocking them from sight.
And its only now that Jeremy finally lets out the breath he didnt realize he was even holding.
<em>The Wolf of the Blood Moon in the flesh</em>
A smile stretches across his face at having just seen his number one favorite Guardian.
<em>This is the best tournament Ive ever seen!</em>
