Announcer: And there we have it! Red moves on to the finals! Up next we have Hiro vs Leo!
--- Chapter 128 ---
Hiro gets up and excuses himself from the stands, and walks down to the stage. As he does he passes Red, who gives him a high five. Hiro walks onto the field and they start their battle. As Red is walking down the halls, Kota stands waiting for him.
Kota: Red, we need to talk.
Red: What about?
Kota: When you fought Geno. You gained that armor. How did you do it?
Red: I- I don’t know. It just happened.
Kota: Do you have any powers other than your insignia.
Red: No, only my insignia.
Kota looks dumbfounded.
Kota: I- I see.
Red: Why, what is the armor.
Kota: It appeared to be Vassal mode armor. Let’s go Red, you should watch the semi-final, so you can gather info on your opponent’s.
Red: Right.
The two head upstairs, Kota heading to the VIP seating. He walks in, not looking at the field, and goes to sit down.
Kota: So how is the match?
He asks those sitting around him.
Master Taizowa: It’s over.
Kota’s eyes go wide and swiftly looks at the field.
Kota: What?! Already?
The battlefield is heavily scarred from the heat of battle. Leo stands on a raised point in the ground completely untouched, looking down at Hiro who lies on the ground, incapacitated.
Announcer: … and the winner is Leo! What a… fast match. The next fight, the final fight, is RED! VS! LEO!
The crowd roars.
Announcer: Before the final match, we will take a short break. Go and buy some merch!
Hiro is rushed into the infirmary, and properly healed but he needs rest. Red visits him, and they chat for a bit before Cari walks in. Cari uses her arcana to ease Hiro’s pain.

Hiro: He’s too strong man. Before I knew it all this ooze surrounded me and it was over.
Red: It’s ok man, I understand.
Cari: It’s true, I fought him as well, his power is overwhelming. And my arcana even countered his and I lost.
Red: I see.
Hiro and Cari go over what they know and formulate plans with Red. Taizawa explains what happened to Kota in the stands.
Kota: That kid is a monster, his arcana is amazing.
Himaki: Indeed, Leo is a prosperous student. At this rate, he will join my highest ranking mages. And join that of my impact unit.
Kota: Impact unit?
Himaki: The Impact unit is made up of exceptional students whose skill exceeds that of their peers to an extent where they are allowed on missions above the level of a student.
Kota: I see, I forgot Academy is a school-based guild.
Himaki: Indeed.
Announcer: Now that everyone is back, let’s get on to the grand finale! Our participants are Red from Elune! And Leo from Academy! Let the strongest participant, win!
He yells, and the crowd roars louder than ever before. The final battle begins.

The Realm Beneath: A Dungeon Story
This is the story of a dungeon, not a reincarnated soul or a human trapped in a soul gem, but a dungeon. Born as a dungeon, it lives as a dungeon, and kills like a dungeon. Guided only by its experiences, vague ideas and knowledge from somewhere else and the mysterious system that greets it upon awakening it strives to build and live and learn. Immerse yourself in the tale as you read about the dungeon and the adventurers that challenge its depths, puzzles, traps and creatures. Read about the realm beneath as a world comes to life within a mountain in the centre of the land. Forests, swamps, deserts, tundra and more can all be found in the cavernous chambers that blossom with life. Author's note. There is an overarching plot that is more than just the dungeon getting bigger. I will be uploading at least one chapter a week until furthur updates on my schedule get posted and hopefully more once I finish off the other book i'm working on. You can expect me to try and craft unique challenges and floors, stuff you most likely haven't seen before in dungeon books whilst still having a hopefully decent plot. I can't promise much about it but I will certainly read all the comments, respond where appropriate and take on board suggestions. I promise to keep you updated and not drop away without saying anything. I would consider this to be part of the writers pledge but if circumstances force my hand I may have to drop it. (no plans) A Note on tags: Profanity: Not excessive but where i find appropriate. Gore: Well that depends how well I do my job doesn't it. If I can paint a vivid picture that has the potential to be gory, then my writing may be to an acceptable quality. Traumatising content: Again, this depends on my skill as a writer, I guess I hope you find it traumatising - no that’s not right. Well you know what I mean anyway. Hopefully I can paint a vivid picture in your mind that makes the book all the more special.
