It was clear that the real event had already started and the favorite participants had just appeared. The bodies of some had already fallen to the ground, completely defeated, and they were quickly taken to the area where Marian was patiently waiting for her victim- patients.
In the arena you could still see how Sakuya and Ragna were staring at each other, words were not necessary at that moment since each one knew a little about the other's abilities, so there was only a small nod from the two before to think about re-entering the battle.
There was something important to mention, and that was the fact that they were both runics, and maybe that could be considered as some kind of cheating, but both of them had lowered their power level to that of an ordinary person, but it was impossible for them that their physical abilities were gone, so some of their reaction level, agility, and strength were still with them, but they were at a level that anyone could reach with some training.
There were always those people who would have some advantage or talent that would make them stand out during events, so it could be said that being runic gave them all of that.
The huge wooly had been aware that some of its wool had disappeared, but besides running all over the place, it was too busy hitting other participants who didn't have enough reflexes to dodge.
Perhaps it tried to attack Sakuya and Ragna for what they had done, but that wasn't necessary as the group of small woolies had sprung into action again, charging in the direction of both runics.
Both Sakuya and Ragna noticed this and could only take a defensive pose to receive that attack from all directions, maybe they would have attacked the woolies to get rid of them, but Collette's voice was heard before that happened.
"Why are you suddenly excited?" Collette was still feeling weird about Rusk's earlier performance.
"Can't I support a friend of mine?" Rusk answered without too much mystery, he had only talked to Ragna for a few moments, but he was very grateful for everything he discovered.
"It means that you must be impartial if you are a commentator, although don't lose that emotion from before, at least for the duration of the event." Again, everyone had a strange expression as they listened to how the sibling duo spoke calmly as if nothing of their surroundings will really matter.
Some could see Blaise covering his face with his hand after seeing the show of his children, which was not strange at all.
"Anyway, let's go back to the event one more time… Doing a count, of the fifty participants who had entered, ten of them have already been knocked out and the surprising thing is that not even five minutes have passed since the event started, that was even faster than my metabolism!" The audience cheered excitedly and continued to cheer on the participants, despite Collette's strange comparison. "We already saw the performance of two of the favorites, but it seems that now they will be a bit busy since they were selected as targets of the woolies herd, maybe it would be easy to just knock them out, but you should know something important, if you hit one of those cute monsters, you will be directly disqualified."
That was a huge surprise, especially for the participants and spectators who were unaware of that rule, and after Collette finished explaining, a perfect example could be seen as one of the participants couldn't stand the harassment of the woolies and simply hit one with the tool he brought, making part of its wool was cut.
The participant realized what he had done, he believed that maybe no one had noticed and that he could pretend that nothing happened, but he would have no chance of it.
In an instant, Shino's beautiful figure appeared behind him without anyone noticing, there was a small smile on her face, but unlike a warm and kind feeling, this one was incredibly cold as she narrowed her eyes.
The participant felt that the strength of his body escaped without a trace, no one besides him had noticed it, but he could see that strange image behind Shino that he could only identify as a kind of demon from the most horrible of his nightmares.
Shino had taken it upon himself to quickly remove him from the arena, so everyone knew what her role was in this event, and some told themselves that they would rather be mercilessly beaten by the woolies than experience what the previous participant experienced... Although there was no shortage of people who would like to be treated that way...
The huge wooly was still the center of attention of the majority of the public, any of its movements would carry with it the screams of terror from the unfortunate participants that were in the middle of its path, there was even an unfortunate one that was taken by one of the paws of the wooly to later be devoured by the latter, although in the end, he was spitting out, leaving him intact simply covered in saliva all over his body.
That had caused several laughs from the public, they were not worried about getting caught in the middle of all that chaos since they had realized that, whenever the wooly reached the limits of the area, it would turn around to escape in another direction, which caused some people who did not trust Nana's ability to have to rethink that idea.
The event had already reached its most animated point, not only Sakuya and Ragna had been the only ones to manage to obtain some wool, but some lucky ones were able to take some or who had enough ability to do so, one of them had been Carlos making use of the huge fish in his hands, and although he was hit by the wooly after that, he was able to get up without a problem while a huge smile appeared on his face indicating that he was having fun. On the other hand, Evelyn had long since been disqualified as many woolies had surrounded her and she couldn't stand the need to pet the little monsters.
Although there were also some strange scenes, such as when some noticed that at one edge of the arena was a silver-haired girl fast asleep while she hugged one of the woolies as if she were a comfortable pillow. It was clearly about Karina, and she obviously had to be disqualified because of that…
In the end, the event was going smoothly, both the participants and the public were enjoying everything that was happening, nobody knew who would win that year, but besides that, maybe there was an important question to ask… Where was Blake?
