About ten minutes after the end of the match between Sky and Blair, the judges announced Sky's team as the winner of the final, with the results of, two wins, two draws, and one loss. After that, they proceed to announce the winner for the tournament, with no doubt Sky's team is in the first place, followed Blair and K's team, and since Blair's and K's team had combined into one team due to the unexpected parasite invasion incident, the third place is given to Sheriff's team that was actually the number four team.
According to the organizer, a grand banquet will be held in the evening along with the prize award ceremony. All the contestants and town people are invited.
After all the contestants had returned to their respective hostel for a rest and preparation, a specific dress code had been given
However, those two Immortals don't seem to be quite enthusiastic about that dress code...
"Ah... Masquerade... Seriously?" Sky ranted as he read through the notice given by the staff lady, part of his face and his limps are covered with clean bandages.
"Ah... Seriously, does that mean we need to prepare our own costume and mask for the award ceremony? If so, I shall let Blair or K take over our prize." said Chris, continuing Sky's rants.
"Sir, rest assured, high-quality masquerade mask and outfits had been prepared by the organizers for your team, we had brought you all the available outfits with different sizes at the room next door for you to choose. While our hairdresser and make-up artists are ready to give you their best services." said the lady, as if she had prepared for everything to counter the rant of those two immortals.
"Ah... Does that mean we have to attend the banquet no matter what? Even if we decided to give up on the prize?" Sky asked.
"Yes, according to the organizer, your team is the most important team for the banquet as you and your team are very popular and are like mini-celebrities among the audiences, so they prefer to have no absence from your team for the banquet later." said the lady with a sweet smile.
"Mini celebrities huh? I very doubt if that is the main reason." said Chris with a gentle yet sarcastic smile.
"Eh? I don't understand what do you mean by that... I was just passing the message for the organizer." said the lady, obviously confused and surprised by Chris's statement.
"Haha. It's okay, you don't have to understand. You already did such a great job passing all the information we need to know in detail." said Chris as he gently smiled at the lady, this time with no sarcasm, which successfully makes the lady blushed.
The lady staff quickly bowed at the two before hastily leaving their room. As soon as the lady left, Chris retracted his smile and returned back to his usual fed-up look.
"Haha... Chris, do you have to be like that?" Sky asked as he laughed bitterly.
"Well, she did mention about the mini-celebrities thingy, I need to at least maintain my image, right?" said Chris, with a shrug
"Ah... Whatever. Anyway, you heard her, let's go to the room next room and get our outfit for later." said Sky as he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hold on... I actually have a 'good plan' for this." said Chris with a suspicious smile as he stood up along with Sky.
"Uh-huh... Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" said Sky.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, Sky and Chris are choosing their outfit for the masquerade. Chris is observing a luxurious platinum tiger masquerade mask in detail, he is slightly intrigued yet troubled.
"Well, I was indeed planning to wear something similar but I seriously don't expect them to have such a high-quality mask that is extremely similar to that ceremonial mask of Kingdom. I wonder if there is any hidden purpose behind this." said Chris.
"I believe it has something to do with the name you used for the registration. And have a look at this." said Sky as he picked up a gorgeous gold dragon mask and show it to Chris.
"Ah... But I didn't even use my full real name." said Chris.
"Well, I believe it's obvious enough for someone who has a brain to figure it out, even if they don't, that surname is enough to scare the shit out of them." said Sky.
"Ha! I believe it's just their self guiltiness that makes them think so. Anyway... Are you sure you are alright with the banquet? I mean you certainly look half dead a moment ago just before the staff came by." said Chris, kind of concerned.
"Well, as you can see, all these wounds haven't fully recovered yet and I did drain off a big portion of my magic in the match, so... I think I am perfectly fine, aside from a slight light-headedness." said Sky.
"Yup, you certainly sound 'perfectly fine'. Go back to the hostel room and get a rest until the time for the banquet, I will choose your outfit for you, and get Ben here to see if he could improve your condition before the banquet, if not you will really have to skip that banquet." said Chris, in a serious tone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That evening, a gorgeous and wonderful banquet is held in the Town Hall that had been renovated and decorated into a beautiful ballroom, ladies and gentlemen from the town and eliminated team had already gathered there and started to enjoy the wonderful gourmet and music as they are waiting for the arrival of the important guests of the banquet.
