Author's Note: Unedited Chapters ---------------------- Endric could tell that Gustav had truly forgiven him now and it was a great feeling for him. He felt all his hardwork to prove himself had paid off. The battles continued and soon the batch ended. Endric and Muvierd's battle along with four others had been the highlight of this batch. To say the spectators were stunned would he an understatement. Things were getting more interesting as weaker planets lost all of their points and got automatically disqualified. Soon the planets challenging weaker ones to easily gain points would be unable to do so anymore once every single one of them was gone. "Yuhuko, are you ready?" Gustav voiced while approaching the black haired beauty with a doll like face. "Huh? Eh? What do you mean?" Yuhiko questioned with an expression of confoundment. "We've lost 1200 points from declining the other challenges after our three tries," Gustav voiced. Yuhiko nodded while maintaining an exprrssion of intrigue wondering where Gustav was going with this. "It's time to regain everything and add a little more to that," Gustav added. "Huh? How? What d... do you mean?" Yuhiko stuttered. Gustav stood before her and gave her a small finger twack on her forehead. "You're going next dummy," He voiced. Yuhiko looked up at the screens displaying the one hundred fifty participants selected for the next batch. "I am not amongst," She voiced with confusion still. "Yes but one of these participants are going to challenge you and its going to be someone with a high number of points," Gustav responded. "Are you saying I should accept... a challenge?" Yuhiko eyes widened with an expression of surprise. "Yes... don't be slow," Gustav responded. "But I thought..." Yuhiko still couldn't hide the look of surprise on her face. "Whatever you thought was wrong. I was letting everyone bear a stereotypical thought about you in their minds. It's gonna pay off now," A smirk appeared on Gustav's face as he closed in further on Yuhiko. "You go out there, take them by surprise and win," After voicing this out Gustav turned around and moved back to his initial spot. Yuhiko's body trembled slightly in both excitement and anticipation as she stared in Gustav's expression. 'I was wrong... he only did this to make everyone have a wrong assumption so it would be easier for me to win when I finally accept a challenge,' Yuhiko came to this realisation and her body trembled even more. What a cunning young man... As the next batch participants began making their way to the various stages, different discussions had broken out amongst the spectators area. -"Captain Vilax is a part of this batch," -"The last two times he absolutely destroyed his opponents," -"Istron is part of this batch as well," -"I see Veskes as well," -"This batch is going to be intense as well," The spectators could recognise multiple participants representing planets that were in the thirty and twenty. Yuhiko was a little intimidated after noticing the line up. She wondered if could truly defeat any of these participants but she maintained a focused expression. About two minutes later, things went exactly as Gustav had predicted. -"That earth participant replacement has been challenged again," -"What is the point? She is just going to decline again," -"Earth sure has a lot of points to spare," -"What a disgrace," While everyone was expressing their opinions of ridicule, Yuhiko stared at the light panel before her which of course showed 'Decline' and 'Accept'. She turned to stare at Gustav by the side who nodded at her. Yuhiko proceeded to accept in the next moment. < Yuhiko Of Planet Earth Has Accepted Veskes Of Oxlrk Challenge > Waaaahhhh~ The spectators including that of earth's exclaimed with looks of surprise. -"She accepted?" -"I thought she was just a stand in?" -"What is going on?" Yuhiko's acceptance had definitely shocked everyone including the participants on their various stages at the moment. Some of them wished they had sent a challenge first since they saw Yuhiko as an easy participants to get points from. Captain Vilax stared at the panel before him that displayed earth. 'Looks like I was too slow,' He internally regreted before deciding to challenge another planet. Yuhiko approached the stage that was filled with water. It was like a small stream since the surface of the body of water was lower than their knees. All around them were small rocks potruding out of the water and a few floating in mid air. Her opponent stood on one of the floating rocks and stared down at her as she walked into the stage. Veskes was an Oxlrkik representing Planet Oxlrk. Just like the usual Oxlrkiks, he had a cone shaped upper body with long arms nearly reaching his feet and a head sized hole on his chest. It's head was faceless yet but when it was about to speak, a mouth shaped hole appeared in the middle of its faceless head. "You weren't my target but since you're easier to deal with I picked you," Veskes stated with a monotonous voice. "Please take it easy on me," Yuhiko played the part by responding with a pleading and gentle voice. "Hmmm alright I'll take it easy on you," He said before jumping down. SPLASSSHH! "Thank you... what a pretty creature," Yuhiko voiced with a seductive tone. "You think I'm pretty?" Veskes asked with a slightly intrigued tone. "HIhihi of course... Just take it easy on me please, I know you're powerful," Yuhiko said while blushing. "Ahem... yes I..." While Veskes was responding with a rather shy tone... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 < Veskes Drupit (Planet Oxlrk) Vs Yuhiko Grande (Planet Earth) > Ths moment this appeared on the screens above, Yuhiko's shy expression and smile vanished as she kicked up water with her feet. Thrrriiihhh~ This splash of water instantly trasformed into golden spikes that shot forward with intensity in Veskes direction. This sudden attack took everyone by surprise, Veskes included. He quickly tried to move aside to evade them but he couldn't get away fast enough to dodge all of the golden spikes. Just as one was a couple feet away from contact, the hole in Veskes chest suddenly lit up with a bright red color. Thiiinnghh~ A red beam shot forward with intensity in the next instant, incineration the golden spike and blasting a hole through some rocks up ahead. Yuhiko had already moved the moment she initiated her first attack so at the moment she was ten feet away from Veskes as she approached from the right. Veskes turned to face her as the beam in the middle of his chest began building up power again. "You stupid bitch! You played me!" At this same moment, he noticed that Yuhiko had a handful of nuts in her grasp which made him a little confused. In the next instant he finally understood what Yuhiko's abilities were as his mouth widened in shock. Yuhiko had thrown out the multiple nuts in her grasp and the moment she did, they transformed into gigantic rocks. Rocks began raining down from the air, causing Veskes to focus on evasion again. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Large amount of waves splattered in every direction as the rocks crashed onto the body of water one after the other. Yuhiko didn't stop there, she flung out more nuts which increased in size, turning into rocks that were hundreds of feet large and speeding forward with intensity. Not only were rocks raining from the air, they were also speeding forward at Veskes who had no other option but to do his best in evading. 'Damnit! Transmutation! She is not as weak as I thought,' Veskes cursed internally as he leapt sideways to dodge another raining rock. Thoooommmm~ He fired a beam at another rock that was close to making contact. Boom! He proceeded to jump through the hole he created in the rock only to meet another up front. Boom! Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang! For the next five minutes Veskes was unable to do any other thing rather than evasion and attacking the rocks that were turned into projectiles. From the earth's spectators area, Gustav watched with a look of satisfaction. 'Yuhiko is only a kilo ranked but her bloodline... raises her potential to a higher level,' Gustav wasn't surprised that this was the case. ("Her bloodline is like an upgrade of Aimee's,") The system chipped in. If anyone was to ask who was stronger between the two, he would say Veskes. However, he would mention that Yuhiko was more powerful overall due to the abilities that her bloodline granted her. She had come far from the time she nearly crushed him to death. Gustav could see that she was capable of applying her bloodline in different ways now. On the stage, Veskes had closed in on Yuhiko because she ran out of nuts. He lunged forward at her while she was trying to get some more things to hurl from her storage device. The water surrounding them suddenly turned into mud and Veskes found himself sinking. Yuhiko's standing point in the water turned solid and lifted her in the air like an elevator. "Nnghh?" Veskes looked up and noticed another massive rock dropping from the sky.
