Tristan looked around and finally understood that every single person in the stadium no longer treated him as a ghoul but as someone with importance and meaning.
"Woah my chest feels funny.....I can't explain what I'm feeling, but I like it." Tristan said to himself as he looked around the stadium.
"We love you, Tristan."
"That final attack was cool."
"I heard he was a ghoul, but I don't really care about that anymore."
Some of the audience yelled as
The three judges floated down using their magic as they stood before the students who had just passed the trial.
"There was supposed to be a Battle Royale this year, but after the incident with the intruders, I guess we would have to cancel it." Blanc Noir, the head of the 12 vampire clan, said as he slowly landed on the award platform with his eyes closed. He was tall and had black and white hair; he also had the face of a model.
"Yes, it is unfortunate, but at least we saw Amazing talent." Persia Nelroid said he also landed beside Blanc with a gentle smile on his face. Persia had blonde hair and was also tall, but not as tall as Blanc. Persia had The Look of a man in his mid-twenties and was also exceptionally handsome.
"Lets just end this already, I have so much work to do regarding this incident." Christopher Araiel The head of the "SO corp," said with an indifferent expression as he focused attention towards Tristan.
"Alright, now that we're here, let's start the award ceremony," Blanc said as he snapped his fingers, and in an instant A huge, box-shaped room shaped box Entered appeared in the middle of the arena.
"Wha….?!" Tristan exclaimed as he looked at the room-sized box.
"Well, to be honest, I don't give awards to people who don't catch my attention but Today is different All Four of you seem interesting and therefore I've decided to award you with My divine item" Blanc said as he walked in front of the box and then gently tapped the surface and immediately a door sized whole appeared and in an instant.
"Alright, little diamonds, step in and receive your reward, but you can only pick one." Blanc teasingly said as he warned the students.
Without wasting time, Eira and the others walked out, leaving Tristan behind.
"What's wrong, you're not going?" Blanc asked as he curiously looked at Tristan.
"Well, it isn't that I don't want to go is just that I'd feel bad because my other teammates aren't here, so I'd just feel guilty," Tristan said as he looked down in shame.
After hearing Tristan's response, Blanc warmly smiled at Tristan as he placed his hands on Tristan's head
"You know you're a really good kid, but you don't have to worry about you'r friend's at all, they'll receive Their reward's when they recover," Blanc reassuringly said as he looked at Tristan in the Eye.
"Really?" Tristan hesitantly asked.
"Really!"Blanc replied to Tristan as he pushed Tristan through the Door.
As Tristan appeared through the other side He saw a hall filled with weapons on each row.
Tristan looked around and then saw Storm and Neji (Storm's Other Teammate) looking at two hammers.
"I think we'll take this storm," Neji said to Storm as he picked up one of the hammers
"I don't care as long as it makes me strong i'll go along with what you say," Storm said as he picked the second hammer and then walked toward the Exit while giving Tristan a nasty look.
"Looks like I've found what suits my taste," Eira said as she picked a beautiful Bracelet that had an abnormal amount of energy coming out of it and then walked past Tristan before exiting the hall.
"I'm Alone look's like I have to be quick," Tristan said as he walked through the hall.
Tristan had been walking in the hall for a long time as he looked at the weapons that surrounded him till finally he walked past a black ring.
"Come," A voice rang inside Tristan's head as he passed the ring.
Out of fear and Shock Tristan moved back slowly as he took a closer look at the ring.
"I've finally found you after many centuries! I've found you!" The voice grew louder as a dark aura, like that of a devil, emanated from the ring.
"It's either I'm high, or I'm on crack, but there's no way that ring just talked," Tristan said as he looked at the ring very closely.
"Stretch your hand." The voice grew louder as the dark aura became stronger.
"This is oddly weird, but I wanna listen to this voice," Tristan says to himself as he curiously brings his arm toward the ring.
And immediately, Tristan brought his hand close to the ring, the black ring turned into black liquid and entered Tristan's mouth.
The liquid spread throughout his body as His veins began to glow silver and black at the same time.
"Cough!!!...Cough!!!!" Tristan furiously coughed as he fell on the Floor And Also groaned in pain.
"Everywhere is going dark..... I feel weak yet strong at the same Time...I guess I'll just sleep for a bit." Tristan said as he closed his eyes in pain, and as he opened them, he felt a cool breeze blowing through his hair.
"Where am I? Why do I feel as if I'm being carried?" Tristan asked as he sounded tired.
"Well, you are," Blanc said.
"Oh, that makes sense." Tristan calmly said as he closed his eyes again, and for a while, it took Tristan some time to understand the situation.
"WHATTTTTTTT !!!!!!" Tristan yelled. He jolted back up, but nearly fell down as they were currently flying in the sky.
"Take it Easy Alright, we're flying. I'll explain everything when we get to my Mansion. Blanc said as he flashed a grin toward Tristan and then accelerated toward the mountain area.
