Harem Tournament of Champions

Ema used every ounce of her strength to adjust her neck as she prepared for a bite.

"Arghhh!" Emi let out a scream in pain once she felt Ema's teeth bore deep into her ankle drawing out blood.

'Wrong move younger one?' Hisha clicked his tongue and frowned at the obvious response to a situation such as the one present before him.

Emi released her grip on Ema, but in a swift maneuver of her body, she snapped Ema's neck with her hands.

[Harem: 6256]

'As expected.' Hisha internally facepalmed as he watched the horror-stricken face of Ema before she had been killed by the very person that shared her likeness.

[What do we call a twin that isn't a twin anymore?]

Hisha rolled his eyes at the weird lines coming from his system, he suddenly preferred when it spoke on his harem with an edgy interface.

'Could we just watch this barbaric show in peace?' Hisha snapped in irritation.

Limping and hopping back to the rest, Emi sighed and spoke, "I had told you that there was still a lot you needed to learn."

There was a deafening silence that followed as they watched Emi tear up, her lips quivering as she dropped to the floor and crawled towards her sister instead.

The feeling of what she had done had just rushed back in and when realization set in, she felt her whole world had crumbled.

'I had thought that we would be able to celebrate our victories together for a time before all of this.' Her eyes examined Ema's pale skin and darkening lips.

'Why? Why didn't you just give up when you had the chance?! Why did you have to force me to do this?!" She wailed and pulled on the leather on Ema angrily.

"Emi Hui wins the second round!" Kritz announces in a loud voice.

Hisha narrowed his eyes at Emi who was still wallowing in despair. 'We get it, she's your twin sister, but you didn't accept to remove my mark on you when you had the chance!'

There was no way he was going to feel pity for any, they had gladly accepted their fate even though he knew some had done so for ulterior motives.

[The tournament would root out 90% of the unworthy and cunning]

HTC consoled, seeing the conflict on its host. He had been able to make one bond with his harem and that could only signify Alta's strength and loyalty in comparison to the rest for the time being.

'There are sometimes Pesa's words ring in my ears.' Hisha had a bitter smile on his lips as he watched Emi get to her feet and wipe away her tears.

[Even though most might not genuinely love you, that doesn't mean you won't gain their trust and love in the end]

'In the end, eh? When would that be? After they kill each other and I'm left with the monstrous kinds?' He spat with a sigh, slouching on his chair due to boredom.

The tournament interface opened up.

[Duel: 6]

[Number of possible harems participating: 12]

[Victories: 2]

[Points accumulated during the tournament: 1000]

'6 more to go! Yay!" He forced enthusiasm as he spoke with HTC.

It was the turn of Vanas to choose and he was ecstatic as he dipped his hand into the hovering cup.

"Yagami Miko wins the seventh round!" Kritz calls out minutes after the previous duel.

All stared at the lady who had her orange hair in a bob cut, the bangs framing her face trailing down below the bust of her short kimono.

What was peculiar about her was the fox ears that pricked up at the whispering from her right.

"Would you like to duel?!" She snapped at one of the harem members that had made a side comment.

Her fangs increased in length and her red eyes glowed as she prepared for another.

[That's one feisty harem you got there!]

HTC took pleasure in the attitude of Yagami.

Hisha had a smirk on his lips at the display.

Yagami had one of the fastest victories he had witnessed so far, she had been merciless and swift in her attack, sparing no opportunity for her opponent to counterattack.

Unlike the others, she possessed a dark aura and looked ready to pounce on anyone who got on her nerves.

Hisha could finally understand why some of the harem surrounding her had given her a bit of space that had circled her as though she was a plague.

[A sharp contrast to the initially sweet and innocent aura with Solara, am I right?]

'She does look promising, but how well do you think she would hold up with Solara or Alta?' He had a devilish smirk as he watched Yagami return to the rest.

[85% chance]

[Solara and Alta's abilities are considered a tad more dangerous than most of your harem and what's more, they haven't reached their pinnacle–yet!]

Hisha listened attentively to the information and prepared for the last duel of the day.

[Duel: 1]

[Number of possible harems participating: 2]

[Victories: 7]

[Points accumulated during the tournament: 3500]

Mich rubbed his hands in delight at being the last one to get a chance at the selection.

"Here goes nothing!" He muttered to himself and brought out two papers that were taken by Kritz.

When Kritz opened the paper, his face fell at a name he saw, from the looks of things this wouldn't be a fair fight no matter how well prepared the other party was.

For a moment Kritz had wanted to switch the paper, wishing to postpone the bloody scene.

Apart from Solara and Yagami, all had given a rather less bloody death to their opponents, in the case of this harem, it was nearly impossible not to act in crazed rage even on the dead body.

"Kritz!" Mich called out loudly, wondering what could make him freeze at the sight of the names.

"We don't have all day! Read it out already!" He ordered impatiently.

'This wouldn't end well.' Kritz grimaced as he cleared his throat, ready to call out the names.
