It's been about 3 weeks since my fight with Kyle. I've made my Aisuburēdo a lot better than it once was. I also finally got the blood stains out of my clothes. After my last match I am now ranked 50. The announcer gave me the nickname White wolf.
Rev is ranked higher than me at number 23. He got pissed off about his father not acknowledging him. So he rushed through the rankings. His firepower is way crazier than it once was.
So has his hand to hand combat ability. I've been training my ice against his flames. He doesn't burn them as easily as he did before but he still can. I've also combined them with the chains. Since I couldn't use the spiders song at first.
I made ice sculptors to make up for the lack of walls. I meet with Baku weekly to give him his cut of the money I make.
His bodyguard Joker is always with him asking me to play cards but I decline I think it's his ability. Since they always seem to have mana imbued in them.
" I'm back from my match with number 15. I'm in the top 20s now." Rev says.
" So I guess it is time for me to challenge the 20th spot." I say back.
Rev and I made a system on how we are going to progress through the rankings. He needs more attention from his father than I do. So he's just been destroying the rankings as fast as possible.
After I take the 20th spot we will both challenge number 9 and 10. After that Rev should be able to meet his father. The problem is the top 5 is a little tricky.
I've heard you have to know a certain barrier technique to be allowed to even challenge them. I haven't figured out what they are because their hasn't been a match between any of the top 10.
Not even since we got here. Only person who has fought in the top 10 is Bami. However there is no way there just isn't any matches between them. They must be in a different arena that I haven't found yet.
I'll think about that later though. I go downstairs and try to find Kaki which is the rank 20.
He can control metal. Which is a special ability from the Kinzoku family. However, because he has such a basic control from it.
He can't be from the inner family or even the outer family. He was probably born from someone of the outer family and some random person.
So none of his abilities are a threat. I send him a challenge and he accepts. After I challenge him I go back to my room and wait until nightfall. Once it turns night I let the shadows loose for the first time in a while.
I give them the order to go find the other arena. It takes them a while but they come back and show me the barrier. The barrier is weird though it doesn't stop things from getting out or in. I'll have to analyze it later when I get the time.

When NoTe told me he noticed my father at his match I was pissed. Not only because he ignored me but because I couldn't even sense him.
How could it be possible that someone that powerful could stand behind me without me noticing. So I've been going all in on my training. I've been increasing my firepower with the guns.
I've also made my flames burn hotter and brighter. Even though NoTe is so fast it's like he disappears as a ghost. I have still kept up with him. My body is able to handle way higher temperatures than before.
My gun accuracy is so high I don't even remember the last time I missed a shot. At the rate NoTe and I are improving. I think if it was an assassination job on one of the top 5. We would complete the mission.
Taking the ranking spots was easy for me though. I didn't struggle in any of my matches. I haven't gotten a nickname like NoTe though. Seems a little unfair to me. NoTe also says I need a special attack like his spiders song or triple threat.
He is right. Those types of attacks can make or break a match. I've been thinking of one so I'll use it in my next match. NoTe just got done beating number 20. I knew he wouldn't break a sweat against him.
After he wins I go challenge the number 9 Sheila. There is basically no information for me about her except that her ability lets her use strands of her hair to attack.
That's all the info I was able to get though. I didn't expect to go up the ranks this fast. Now in only a couple weeks I'll finally be able to meet my father.
I can tell him all the things I've been wanting to tell him my whole life. Like how Stitch practically raised us. How NoTe is my one and only brother who's always been there for me. How much I suddenly just wanted him to appear one day and take me into his home.
I don't have the chance to tell him all that yet but I will soon. After I beat Sheila and I start challenging the top 5 then it's going to be different.
NoTe will figure out the barrier technique and teach it to me. Then we will beat the top 5 and I'll meet my father and have another chance at a true family. Like I've always wanted.
As NoTe walks in the door I see Baku right behind him. I ask " What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to tell you both this at the same time so you both can understand. You can't challenge the top 5." Baku says.
" Why not?" I say in protest.
" Because you two don't know the barrier technique that allows them to fight." Baku says back.
" Why do we even need a barrier technique?" NoTe asks.
" Because everyone at the level of the top 5 or higher. Are capable of destroying a planet. So they have to learn the barrier technique that keeps their power from attacking the earth. So unless you boys think you are strong enough to destroy a planet than I suggest you stand down at the rankings you are at." Baku says.
