"And with she comes the horror of demons, the one that could put you out of business for a whole week if no help is around, the super fail!" Sakuya's presentation brought with it more shouts of emotion from the audience as Pia gave a frightened expression at what Sofia had in her hands.
"It really doesn't look appetizing at all, I'm sure if it's added to an apple, you might never wake up!"
"Don't hesitate, and this is where the interesting stuff starts, all the demons have resisted as best they could and got a lot of points, but the surprise is that, if you are hit once by the super fail, you will lose all your points, though that shouldn't be necessary since there hasn't been anyone who can still stand after being hit by one, so all the remaining demons should do their best to be the winners and not end up on the floor! Like this keep dodging and receiving those beans until the end!" The whole atmosphere seemed to explode with excitement, the group of villagers also did the same and started throwing more beans and failed dishes making the group of demons concentrates even more while they had their constant attention on the smiling Sofia who looked at everyone calmly.
'I've come this far; I must not let that super fail hit me. Now there are a lot of brown beans, so I don't think there will be any problem in winning the event.' But as Blake continued with his thoughts, someone appeared next to him again.
"Yes you are trying, I expected no less from my partner in adventures." That animated voice reached Blake's ears and he recognized it instantly.
"Are you here too, Rusk?"
"Of course, actually, I'm only behind you by three points, do you think you can come out victorious?"
"Don't think I'll make it easy for you, it's my first time here, but I'm used to it, I doubt you can beat me."
"I just hope you don't end up getting hit by... Gah!" And as if the world hit him in the face, Rusk was suddenly hit with a plate that had a black substance in it, only to end up on the ground the next moment while his body seemed to convulse continuously and the melodious voice of the person in charge could be heard.
"Hehe, I think you should talk right now." Listening to Sofia's words with opposites, Blake realized that things were worse than he imagined.
"And there you have the power of super fail! It will be a miracle if he wakes up in a few hours, but let's save that for later, time is running out and there are still demons around the place, the score looks pretty close and this will be over in seconds, the demon slayer Hazel did her job again, her elimination counter reached 60 this time, I think it's a new record, meanwhile, the goddess of poisons does not let us down and has already eliminated even the one who was in second place, this is getting more and more exciting!"
"Make an effort, the bathrooms will be ready after the event, hehe!"
'That super fail is deadly and I didn't even feel it coming!' Blake ignored all those comments as he was too busy dodging the plethora of misses coming at him, he concentrated enough to notice them and get hit by the beans they were everywhere, it was even a little difficult to move because of the large amount on the ground, but it was nothing that he could not handle, and it continued until he bumped into someone. "Sorry, I... Raven?"
"Hello..." A monotone greeting came from Raven making the situation even more strange.
'Okay, she was the last person I expected to meet here.' Blake didn't think much of it and started talking to her despite the tense situation. "I didn't think you were participating; I hadn't seen you at the whole event."
"I've been standing here the whole time." Blake understood that she meant that she was participating in the event the whole time, but once he saw how Raven did not move at all from her place while being hit by many beans, he thought she spoke really.
'Has she really been standing in that spot for the entire event? hasn't she been hit by a failed dish or super fail, what position is she in then?' But before Blake could even turn to the marker that there was a side of the commentators, he noticed how something was quickly heading to the same place where Raven was. "Watch out!"
He could clearly see how a super fail was about to hit her, and without knowing the reason, Blake used all his strength to move Raven away from the place while in slow motion he was hit by the plate to the next instant hear the voices of the system and hit the ground heavily as his vision slowly blurred and one last thought left his head.
[You suffer from poisoning.]
[You suffer from paralysis.]
[You suffer from sealed.]
'This… This seriously is the most dangerous thing in the world!'
"Ooh, and the first place has also fallen, it seemed that it was going to be the dark horse of the event, but it had a very tragic end, this is enough proof to realize that everything can change at the last second, and never better said since time has just run out!"
"This year's bean throwing has been as memorable as a good bath!"
"The battlefield has finally ceased and now we can see that there are less than ten demons left standing, but since everyone is waiting, it's time to announce the winners!" And without waiting any longer, Sakuya began to present the positions. "in the third place with 42 points, you can always tell when she is close thanks to the colorful shout of her, the town artist! Daria!"
Much applause was heard at that moment while a characteristic scream came from the artist.
"In second place with 53 points, he delights you with his delicious dishes and handles the knife as if it were part of his body, the best cook in the world according to many! Blaise!" And repeating itself, a new cluster of applause and shouts filled the place while the cook laughed lightly and greeted everyone.
"And, first but not least, with an impressive 65 points…! Hey, this is really a surprise, she seems calm, but inside there is a determination hotter than the sun, her gaze will make you freeze if you are too weak and think twice before approaching her, the crimson beauty! Raven!" Unlike the previous announcements, the cheers and applause seemed to thunder throughout the venue and the music became more animated as Raven wondered why she had won while an unlucky blond continued to lie on the ground devoid of any life sign.
