"I had heard everything about the tournament from Jason, expected yet hard to believe." said Chris as he schemes through the registration form.
"Jason? But he is not even here!" said Sky, a bit amazed.
"Well, he was a Kitchen Deity after all... And what the heck with this 'Super Human Union'? Are you sure you want to use this as our team name?" said Chris, a bit disgusted by that stupid name.
"He-he... I can't really think of any name at that moment, so..." said Sky, with an awkward smile.
Chris sighed before stared at that group name.
"Do you have any correction fluid?... And a more proper ink pen, I don't like this ball pen." said Chris.
"Ahahah..." Sky laughed awkwardly.
"Never mind, just go get a new form, I have my calligraphy pen with me." said Chris.
Sky immediately rushed to the organizer's office and get a new form in ten minutes. Then, Chris rewrote all the registration details neatly on the new registration form, Sky's name at the first one, followed by his, as he starts writing his own name, he hesitated for a moment before wrote down a name, which surprised Sky a bit.
"Chris, are you sure about that? I mean you can use your usual 'Chris Lee' as what you use in Null Dimension." said Sky.
"Since they are messing with our pride and reputation, so I think this is necessary... As for the group name..."
Chris thought for a while before written down 'Kneel Before Me' in cursive.
"Wow... Chris, aren't that's a bit too flashy?" Sky asked.
"Nope, I could be even flashier than this. Anyway, let's put on a seal." said Chris.
Then, Sky handed him a convenient rubber stamp that he made especially for the tournament. Chris examined it for a while before rejected it, he took out a bottle of golden ink and a platinum stamp.
"Woah... Chris, hold on. Are you really serious about that? That seal is..." said Sky, rather hard to believe what Chris is trying to do, same for Ben.
"Yes, I know, and I'm serious about it." said Chris in a firm attitude.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.05 am, Sky had successfully submitted the registration form in time and returned to the dorm along with Chris to prepare for the elimination round that will start in less than an hour, everyone included Blair and his team members are surprised and excited to see Chris.
"O! M! G! Chris-chan! You are finally back! Ah!!" Maria exclaimed while trying to give Chris a hug attack but Chris perfectly dodged it.
"Chris-chan, it's been a while." Blair greeted Chris, however, Chris seems to be a bit confused.
"Uhm... You are..." Chris is trying very hard to recall who Blair is, while Sky is giving hint by whispering 'maid cafe'.
"Maid cafe... Ah! You are Mr. Éclair!" said Chris.
"Haha, I'm glad that you still remember me, it's Blair by the way." said Blair with a polite yet awkward smile.
"Anyway, can anyone give me a briefing for the coming round? That is if there is anyone that paid attention about it." said Chris, kind of ignoring Blair.
"Well, they said that it would be a survival battlefield, all thirty-two teams will fight with each other on the same field, sixteen teams that survived will proceed to the second elimination round." said Seito, who is actually paying attention to the flow of the tournament.
"Survival battlefield huh? If the rules allowed it, I actually had a strategy for it." said Chris.
"Heh? What is it?" Sky asked.
"You will know once we reached the field." said Chris with a suspicious smile.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, the organizer's office. A man in a purple tuxedo is staring at Sky's team registration form with one of his underlings, he looks a bit troubled.
"This seal is genuine." said the man in purple tuxedo.
"What? Damn it! This means that we had messed with the party that we should not be messing with! What should we do now? Should we still continue supporting those royal guards?" Another man at his side asked.
"The supports need to be continue but at the same time, we need to stop all the pressure we applied to that team, we can't bear the consequences of doing so." said the man.
"Yes, I understand." said the other man.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, the first elimination finally started, all thirty-two teams of contestants are waiting at their respective warping point. On the field, it's a huge maze.
"Hmm... This maze again? Are they recycling their own field?" said Sky.
"No, Darling, it has some obvious difference compared to the one in the agility test, and the paths are obviously wider." said Maria.
Then, as usual, the parrot flew into the middle of the field and stopped in mid-air.
"Congratulations to all the contestants that had passed the qualification tests, it's certainly a long and hard journey, isn't it? Today we will be having our first elimination round." said the parrot in its usual robotic tone.
"The team leader for each team can choose their preferable spawning point by turn in the order their ranking in the qualification test." said the parrot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sky's team waiting area/warping point.
"Ah... That parrot..." Chris murmured.
"Chris? You know anything about that parrot?" Sky asked.
"No, I just feel that it looks stupid... Don't you think so?" said Chris.
"Ah... Haha! Now you mentioned it, it indeed looks stupid." said Sky...
Haha... Yes, even with Chris joined them, they still don't really care about the rules...

Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
