( At the same time. )
< Location: Aeaea Island. >
" Guess our 'time' in your bed really attract lots of people, didn't we? " Ragna asks as he is out, after slaying so many Valkyries who come into the island in response to what happened during his intercourse with Circe.
< Wave Cleared >
< The Attacking Valkyries had been wiped out, Player may have some rest. >
" I doubt that, System... " Ragna says as he sees Circe killing one strong Valkyrie there.
" Enchantress! " screams the Valkyrie as Circe uses her enchanted abilities to torture her before dying.
As she did it, the enchantress then exploded her body, splattering everything inside Valkyrie's body in front of Ragna.
" Circe, if some of that hits me and my clothes, I'll punch you. " Ragna says as he checks his clothes, seeing if it gets dirty or not.
" ~Oh, getting physically enraged, are we?~ " Circe asks as she then uses her [Red Mist] to cover Ragna's clothes and clean them.
" There, is it clean now? " Circe asks while Ragna sees it.
" Not bad, what an effective laundry you got there. "
" Guess I should ask you to teach me those, that might've been useful. " Ragna says to her which made her laugh.
" ~Kukuku, teach you 'this'...~ "
"Your Aether ability is different, your Aether is not suited or capable of producing Abilities like mine. "
" While mine is useful for maintaining my form and beauty, your Aether works for having an Armada of the dead. " Circe says as she sees Ragna's Black Shadow Army as it comes to Ragna.
" Master... " says
" We've done our work here, but before we rest, is there any work you desire us to do? " Rachina asks while Ragna waves her, telling her that today is enough.
" Understood, we leave your presence, master. " Rachina and the others return to the shadows as Ragna cancels their summons.
< All Black Shadows returned >
" *Yawn* What a day? "
" Guess being too powerful is often cursed with ultimate boredom, isn't it? "
" Especially when you're powerful and a fugitive. "
" If I still become a Hunter, then I could've taken in the 'God Hunter Tournament' and become champion as Uncle Andrew did. " Ragna says this while having a flashback, he remembers a time when he and Uncle Andrew is having a vacation.
At that moment, Ragna asks him if he could join the 'God Hunter Tournament' and become a champion just like him.
" Well, if you train hard and achieve many things, then the Hunter Association would consider you to join. " Andrew tells Ragna.
" But, will you be sad, uncle? " Ragna asks him.
" Sad? Why? " Andrew asks him back.
" If I want to become the champion, then I have to beat you, uncle. " Ragna asks while having a tear.
" If that is so, Grandma Rory will punish me for being a rebel. *sob* " Ragna says which made Andrew laughs.
" Kekekek, scared of grandma? " he asks while laughing whilst Ragna just politely nods in his agreement.
" Look Raggy... " Andrew says to Ragna as he places his hand on his head.
" I'm sure you will join someday and I would like to see you become champion too. "
" After all, it's part of my dream to see our family be known to the world. " Andrew says as he pats Ragna, telling him that he prays Ragna to able on joining the Tournament, so he could make himself known to the world as he did.
...
As Ragna remembers it, he remembers his uncle's wish to have him join the tournament, which Ragna kinda regrets because it seems he lost the chance.
" Guess I can't join now when I'm fugitive... " Ragna sighs.
" ...Like uncle did... " Ragna thinks for a second as he recounts the
" Shit! " Ragna pisses as he remembers it.
" I'm bored, Circe do you have something to do for me, to increase my mood? " Ragna asks as he sees Circe freezes, she is holding her right eye as she seems to have seen something.
" Circe? " Ragna asks as Circe then looks at him, but before she could say anything.
< Message >
< "Player Ragna, [Ragna Twelve] had instructed you to enter the [System Space], ASAP." >
" Huh!? " Ragna asks as he then sees Circe again.
< "Player Ragna could also bring [Companion: Circe], the System had already finished making her chamber. " >
...
< Location: System Space >
" Okay, what's going on? " Ragna asks after he entered with Circe as Twelve quickly turns on a Monitor and shows Ragna what's going on.
" *Squirts out* Pffth! the 'God Hunter Tournament's announcement!? " Ragna asks as he sees this.
" Yes, Ragna, and speaking of this nonsense Tournament you want to enter... "
" Look further at the topic of this year's Tournament's announcement. " Twelve says as Ragna watches it carefully.
" Wait, the Tournament's topic is 'Bounty Hunt'!? " Ragna asks as he sees it.
" Yes, and the bounty for the tournament, the target is none other than the infamous 'White Demon' himself, 'Shiro Oni' based on what Yukino called you. " Ragna Hundred says which made Ragna smirk as he can't believe the news and sees the price placed upon him.
"( My life is placed on 50.000.000.000.000 Trin? )" Ragna asks as he sees it, some part of him gets worried, but some part of him, suddenly shows up, as it makes him happy somehow.
" Kukuku... " Ragna chuckles as he grins in front of the others.
" Ragna? " Twelve asks as he sees his behavior.
" Bwahahahaha! " Ragna burst laughs, he laughs so happily as tears of joy came out from his right eye.
" Oh my, hahaha, oh my... " Ragn laughs in front of the others.
" Why are you laughing at me, shouldn't you be scared? " Ragna 69 asks as he sees this reaction from him.
" Scared!? Why should I!? " Ragna laughs as he thinks the question is funny.
" Idiot! your head is the main price for the Tournament, the whole earth, including the gods, will come to take your head! " 69 tells him.
" Shouldn't you be at least, worried? " 69 asks him which made Ragna laugh even more.
" Worried!? me!? " Ragna laughs as he hears this.
" Why should I be worried!? instead, this is a great opportunity for me! " Ragna tells them.
" Pardon? " Ragna Twelve asks as he hears that.
" Of course, Twelve *chuckles*... "
" If you see my past using the [Twelve Eye] during your free time, you should've known my wish to join the 'God Hunter Tournament'. "
" It has been my dream before the Abyss Tower happened, a dream I thought I would never achieve, but now... "
" Because of my current strength and status, that very object of my dream had changed itself, you know... "
" If back then I want to change myself so I could secretly join the Tournament someday, now..., the tournament had 'me' as its greatest star. "
" The greatest reward of what fate could give me isn't that great!? " Ragna asks in a happy tone, instead of being scared, he happily welcomes the very news and gets super excited about it.
"( What an unexpected reaction... )" 69 says to Twelve as he witnesses this, thinking Ragna might've already gone out of his mind after he becomes the 'White Demon' he is now.
"( To think he could laugh at death so easily now, everyone now is going to aim his head...! )" Twelve says as he then realized how much the Abyss Tower slowly affects his mentality.
"( *Sighs* 69, I hope we survives this... )"
"( We had no choice but to build our power to counter the constant attacks from now on. )" Twelve says as he could predict that many attempts will happen after this.
"( Shit! )" Twelve curses as he begins to think and plan what to do next while Ragna is still laughing happily as he hears the news.
"( God Hunter Tournament, bring it on! )" Ragna thinks about it, in his happiest state ever for the first time in his life.
