"Welcome! To the greatest event in all of Nervek… The Royal selection!" A man dressed in a black and white outfit spoke inside a magic cone that echoed throughout the stadium.

"It\'s your host again, Gekaji, and as usual I\'ll be here to make sure the selection goes smoothly and fairly." The man continued, seated on a hovering commentary box which made it easier for him to get a bird\'s eye view of the arena.

"As you can see, we have the contenders all stationed in the ring, even the Hikiku family\'s hair wants to run for council again, pretty dang interesting if you ask me.

But this time, the rules have changed, just a bit… ehehehe, this time we have a new contender, competing for the spot to be the new Duke… he is not a vampire but since he is engaged to the lady, he has every right to participate in this."

As the commentator spoke, all eyes immediately fell on Sato, who was already inside the ring with the rest of the participants.

He stood in the midst of the vampires and was still getting death stares from them since most of them were envious about the fact that he was engaged to Erza.

"Oi! You don\'t belong here… you should turn back before you get hurt, consider this me being generous." Rulios, the son of the Trunrua family, spoke as he looked at Sato on his left.

Another female hair to the vampire family, Surama, Nico added, "I don\'t understand how you got to enter the Vlad family, but I can assure you winning this won\'t be that simple." She proclaimed with a cold expression.

Sato didn\'t reply to any of them, at least not until a vampire, with a scar on his face approached Sato and stood in front of him.

"So, you are the outsider that got engaged to the daughter of the Trinity lord… you\'re really not much to look at." The huge vampire hinted as he stared down at Sato.

Sighing, Sato looked up at him, "If you wanna fight so badly, then why don\'t you wait for the dance to begin….I\'ll be sure to take good care of you." He responded without making any eye contact with the man.

The man scoffed, "Let\'s hope you don\'t chicken out and run." He walked away and stopped when he got to the back of the crowd.

<<I most say, I\'ve noticed that you don\'t try to back away from fights anymore >>

\'You think so? Nah\'.

Erza picked up on it and was feeling worried that the match might not be in his favor, so she turned to her dad and gossiped, "Father, I don\'t think it was wise sending him down there alone." She fretted.

"Sweetheart, have faith in your future husband, it\'s true his appearance is deceiving, but that man has the greatest cheat I have ever seen… he can\'t be beaten that easily".

"Okay! Do not worry, the rules are simple, the winner is decided when the opponent gives up or is incapable of fighting… killing your opponent is not allowed… Are we clear people?….. Perfect…. Now you\'d be paired with your opponent as soon as the battle begins, which is now..T-The battle begins now!".

Multiple colored lights touched down on every single person in the arena. Those who were going to go up against each other had the same color of light fall on them.

Back at the stadium, there were multiple large templates appearing in the sky, showing live footage of the different battles happening in various places while the commentator supervised.

A total of 20 matches were going on at the same time, each teleport took 3 different races, The ghost race, The vampire race, and The werewolf race, making it a triple threat battle.

Sato, who had the red light land on him, immediately found himself in a different place. He was teleported to the top of a very huge mountain with nothing but other mountains surrounding him.

"So, this must be where my battle is going to be held." Sato said to himself, looking up to see a small crystal soaring around his position.

<<One of your opponents is 40 ft away, the other is just 35 ft behind you >>

\'That was quick.\' Sato muttered, glimpsing at the rock beside him as a smile hit his face before he walked toward it, "I\'ll wait for them to come to me".

Jimmy, a werewolf, with black fur covering most of his body, found himself wandering around the mountainside.

Just like Sato, he was also teleported with the red light, which meant Sato was going to be his opponent.

"Where are they? I\'ve been walking for a while now, and I haven\'t seen anyone other than these stupid rocksl!" Jimmy exclaimed before he halted his movement.

He suddenly picked up a scent from the giant mountain right in front of him. Jimmy smiled, "Gotcha ."

Lowering his legs a bit, Jimmy took a huge leap to the sky and bounced past the height of the mountain.

While he was still in mid-air, he looked at the top of the mountain and caught a glimpse of a person posing on a rock with a hood covering their face.

"Finally… I can get this party started!" Jimmy had an excited smile on his face as he landed on the ground with a loud boom.

He walked out of the hole with one of his legs on the edge as he yelled while pointing at the person, "Hey, you there… you\'re my opponent, quit sitting there and come at me already!".

"Oi! Are you listening to me…. I said.." Jimmy suddenly hung back in fear when the person stood up from the rock with an enormous ripple of magic leaving his body.

\'W-What kind of power is this?... I\'m really going up against this guy?\' Jimmy spoke to him, as he stared at Sato who was glaring back at him.

A smile hit Jimmy\'s face before he clenched his fist with his purple eyes gleaming, "You\'re strong, I can tell that much, and I… freaking love taking strong people down… let\'s do this!".
