Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Selection VII

"In the end our princess ended up with the of her first match of the tournament."

"So, what did you fight of the fight, Student Body President." Kageno asked the body president who was in deep thought. He himself knew that something was wrong, because he was sure Elizabeth would lose.

Kageno saw the student body president as in deep thought, he decided to ask again, this time making himself audible enough for him to hear him."oh huh? Yes, it was truly impressive. I have never seen first years fight like that before."

But he had a feeling that special magic was used to interfere with the match, and he thought of who would want this. When I returned with no luck, Theodora had a really sad expression on her face that make her look adorable.

I could sense that she knew she was trapped, but still hated herself for the way she failed to handle the situation. She was about to cry as I saw tears hanging in her eyes. I walked up to her to try and calm her down, and when I got close to her, she cringed to me and began to sob while hiding her face from everyone.

"I'm sorry I lost," she said in my arms. "It's fine, as long as you did your best. I don't care," I said, calming her down a little bit. She looked up at me and her adorable face was the only thing I could think. "I just wanted to impress you." [Theodora]

"Who said anything about impressing me," I said. "I just..." [Theodora]

"Well I have never seen her like this before, she's always so cheerful." [Timothy],"but why didn't you use your universal eye?" Timothy asked but I stopped him from continuing to let her rest.

'For her to act like this, she must truly love him' [Timothy]

She buried her face back into my chest and cried some more.

"Alright everybody, we'll be taking a one hour break and we'll be right back into the action," Kageno said over the mic and everyone began to leave one by one, out of the arena.

After things settled down, Theodora was resting in the infirmary and Timothy and I where by her side. Soon later her father came in to check on her with a surprise visit. "Uncle? What are you doing here?" Timothy asked. He was being accompanied by two of his maids and a body guard.

For a second he egnored him and went straight for his daughter's side and then answered his question, "I just wanted to see my daughter, is that to much to ask."

'So this is the Tencent clan's head and Theodora's father, Theodo Tencent. He's strong.'

With chills down my spine, I worked up the courage to approach and introduce myself. "Hello sir, it's nice to meet you. My name is Kelvin Karuta." He egnored me for a second a picked up Theodora's hand and then noticed me. "Uh yes, you must be the close fried she's been telling me about, and now I can see why. You are quite handsome."

"Excuse me..." I said in case I did not hear what he said right. "Anyways, I'm asigning you two to find the bustard responsible for the tempering of the precious daughter's match and bring him to justice," He said in a high pitch voice while pointing to the roof.

"Uh sir, you can't do that," one of the maids pointed it out to him. Before I could ask him anything, he went and jumped out the open window, with his maids and body following behind him.

"Talk about a not so dramatic exit," I said to myself. "Sorry about that, he just does that sometimes. It the reason my grandma chased him out of the house when he was 12." Timothy said in embarrassment.

"At least we know what we're doing."[Timothy]

"Yeah, we need to find out who that guy was and why he did had," I said. "I think I have an idea," I said. There was one man who I trust would have noticed the interference. He was also powerful after all.

Timothy and I proceeded to the headmaster's office after I explained to him he might know something. After Knockin on his door a couple of times, there was no answer. I tried pulling the handle but it was lock.

"What to do now?" I said. After thinking for a while, Timothy had an ideal and share it with me. He suggested on checking the match video and the security system camera to try and spot him. I agreed and we spit ways and the infirmary would be the meet up point.

Timothy when on ahead to the security room as I went to the press club after asking for directions where the matches so far where being broadcast.

In the security room, Timothy informed security there of the suspicious man and surprisingly they believed him and check the cameras. Surely enough he was there, snicking through various security without being spotted around the halls of the arena.

Meanwhile, I had arrived at the press club's door and knocked on it. Some nameless background character answered the door on did not allow me to enter. The club President was brutal as well and did not want to listen to what I had to say.

"Only club members are allowed to enter," she said. I tried thinking of an excuse to proceed and I thought of a way. " What if I promise to come back and join the club as soon as school starts," I said I desperately.

She took her sweet time think and thought I could actually be useful. "Wait I remember you, you're I the tournament too, aren't you?" She asked. Without me saying another word she grabbed my hand and shaked it. "Welcome to the club," she said," what did you come here for anyway?"

"It will just be a second," I said. "OK, you may do what you wish, just don't mess up anything," she said and finally let me in. On the one of the computers, I rolled back the footage to the point Elizabeth was about to deliver the winning blow.

For a breath second, I saw what looked like a glitch, covering the fireball that was about to miss Theodora.

BINGO

'It looks like the concealment spell was powerful enough to prevent almost everyone from seeing the fireball, but not powerful enough to completely hide it on camera.

I copied the video to my phone and sent it to Timothy and I was now heading back to the infirmary to regroup with him.
