I'm a Walking Disaster With My Unwanted Virginity

With everything done I returned to the dorm and rested. Though it wasn't much of a fight, it was definitely draining. 

On my way, I'd met someone dangerous but since the man didn't have any killing intent, I couldn't do anything about it. If he really was set to kill me, he could have done it right here, when I was tired from fighting. Well, at least he would have tried, right?

But he didn't. 

'So he wasn't there to kill me?'

I sighed. Rolling around the bed made me feel like melting to I didn't want to worry too much about things. 

Oh, this was comfortable. 

"Your reputation seems to be rising up rather fast. Though Raea's reputation is also growing. People are saying she was just a maiden in love." Merin was on his bed, leg's crossed, a pillow behind his head. "Some are even rooting for you two."

Merin was definitely enjoying this whole thing. 

"Don't make me puke. I hate those types of people." Just thinking about it made me feel vexed. "Anyway, can you bring something up?"

"What, the qualifications schedule?"

"Oh yeah, it was going to be released today too." I'd actually forgotten. "Ah, not that, I need that too but, bring up people who can teleport first." My memory was acting funny. In fact, my mind was playing tricks on me from yesterday. I didn't have another 'we' moment though. 

I wanted to visit the nurse, but I got the impression she'd just tell mom. 'Who else can I talk to about this?

Merin frowned. "Fine." He brought it up. 

Thirty or so faces came up. I guess I should have specified about the living ones. I knew three of the many faces. And the one I was searching for- Lt. Demeres. 

"So, that guy was in the military?"

Meaning, apparently he was the good guy. 

I wasn't sure about that though. 

"Know him? Why do you look disappointed?" Merin scowled. "Anyway, here-"

Next came, the qualifications table. Apparently, I had three fights and two of them were back to back. The third one was on the second day. I was basically going to be done by Tuesday. 

"Do I have to win all three?"

"If you win all three, you won't have to fight in the quarter-finals and you'll be placed directly in the semi. If you win two, you'll be in quarter. If you win one, you'll have to fight the one who'll lose in the first quarter. And if you lose three- you know."

"Sounds like a pain." And awfully complicated too. 

Merin snickered. "Then just win all three and live a hassle-free life."

'Easy for you to say.' I blew air towards my hair. I needed a haircut. "My opponents?"

"Your first battle is with- how the hell do you pronounce this!"

"Leilis." 

Well, this just got complicated. 

"And your second one is… Robert?" This just got even more complicated. But the last one was the most troublesome. Apparently, it was Angelmen. "I don't know. Though you seem stronger to me, I think it'll be close for the third one."

Well, at least it wasn't Marg. 

"Yeah, that guy is a monster on very different levels. He can even smell semen from almost a hundred meters away. Like seriously!" And I saw him do that firsthand.

"Seriously! That's so weird, and cool!"

"Nah, that's just weird and disgusting."

But Merin was right, this guy was kind of overpowered and I had to find a way to win. 

"Well, the tournament is mostly about sword skills, so I don't think his powers will be that much of a problem." Merin wasn't taking this seriously. 

Honestly, now that I had enough money for chocolate, I couldn't take this seriously either. 

"You mean, there will be points given there too?"

"Oh? So you've heard. Every match from now on will have professional judges. Even if you lose, but win the hearts of the judges, you'll win. So when I said you'll need to win all three to go to the semi, I meant you'll need the most points."

Merin spoke like he'd assumed I'd already known, which I hadn't. 

"That's actually stupid." And I was from a villainous family. Meaning, winning the hearts of the judges wasn't going to be easy. 

"I know." Merin started laughing. "But it is, what it is. By the end of this week, you'll be off to the nationals in Berlin."

'Why, Germany though?' 

I had issued with Germany. The last time I was there, I kind of accidentally blew up a PowerStation. It was an accident, okay?

And why was this guy just assuming I'd win? 

I sighed and rolled around some more. Ah! This bed was comfortable. 

My phone rang. 

It was mom. 

All the comfort disappeared as my heart rate rose up. 

"The fight already got public!?" Sweat poured. I didn't want to answer the phone, but there was no choice. "Helloo?" I spoke very carefully.

I kind of didn't think about the consequences. But mom was sane, right? She'd understand.

Right? 

"Oh hey!" It was Elsa. Oh, thank the heavens!

"What's up?" Relief ran across my body as the tension left. 

"That was so cool. 'I don't discriminate!'" Elsa raised her voice a little and tried to imitate me. It was over. My life was over. "I never thought you felt that way. Oh, and Mom told me to tell you that you should come home right now unless you want her to go there. Bye" 

"B-bye."

Yup, my life was over. 

I turned like a badly oiled machine. "You don't happen to know anyone who can use long-distance flight in a matter of seconds right?"

Merin looked at me awkwardly for a second. "I can ask someone to throw you to the mainland and you can take a flight from there?"

"I think I'll take a flight from here instead." I did not want to break my bones, no sir!

"Did you forget they closed the port because of the typhoon?"

"Oh don't worry. When they realize how passionate I am, they'll open it right back up."

Because if they didn't, a monster was going to show up here. 

"Uh-huh." Merin wasn't convinced. 

Honestly, I wasn't either.
