6 Chapter 5: Party or Death Game?

I was surprised that Azrail agreed to come to the party. It's unlike her. But I am relieved or else I would have looked like total wierdo without a girl and all girl population would come hovering onto me. Man, girls are too complicated. Okay, little description here. This school has more than 800 students, of age 16-20. And 50 are in my class. And to think 800 gamers will be attending the announcement makes me shudder. [Students in this academy are referred to as Virtual Intrepid Entrepreneurs but we shortened it as Gamers, because why not? Who like complicated stuff?]  

As told, I wore my tuxedo and deferentially knocked on Azrail's door. 

"Heellooooo? Are you ready or what?" I asked." It's near to 9:00 pm already."

"Wait, I am wearing my Arm Bracers and Bandanna." said Azrail.

"Do you wanna look like a Pirate?" I asked stunned.

"Shut up. I know I look perfect," she said clicking the door open. She looked really beautiful but the bracers and bandanna made her look like some warrior princess who has no sense of clothing.

"You look stupid!" I said laughing."Your dress is amazing but the rest looks like crap."

"Then what do I do?" she asked.

"Ok, firstly let down your hair and not in a bun. Second remove that bandanna. Keep the bracers though. Wear white stilettos and wear this dragon necklace." I said handing out all the accessories from my cupboard.

"You have lot's of girl things. Whom do these belong to?" Azrail asked.

"Yulisandrea, my sister. Well, she is no more but her memories remain." I said.

"Don't let my words ruin your mood, thank you anyways. Come on we must go." she said pulling my hand. 

Honestly, it still hurts buy it's fine. Now, its time to party...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We reached the Clubroom. It was huge. Maybe half of Venezuela's population could fit in there. No wonder more than 800 gamers could fit.

"It's hardly been a few weeks and Ayato has become super famous." I said.

"He is a world famous hot model, so it's obvious he's famous." she replied.

"Guess you're right but I look way better than he does." I said smirking.

"Nah, all boys are like a trip to the graveyard. You will always find offerings there." 

"How does it even relate?" I asked confused.

"Well, guess you have to understand it better," she smirked.

"Whatever. Let's just find a place to sit." I said.

There were soo many people dancing, drinking and singing. Some passed out, some drunkyards acting all drunk and don't get me started on the loud music. We finally found an empty balcony on the third floor.

"I just saw Allysia and it seemed that you were avoiding her or more like running away from her. Why?" she asked.

How the hell did she know? 

"Listen, I don't like her company too much because she is clingy. I hate clingy people." I state.

"Oh, I see. Anyways, you should turn her down."

"Jealous much?" I smirked.

"No, I am not. It's just better than later." she said.

"I'll think about it." I said. She is definitely jealous.

"Hey, come on. It's time for the announcement!" I said looking at the crowd gathered near the stage . 

We went down and managed to squeeze inside the crowd to get a better view. There I saw Claudion going through some papers. She was wearing a silver gown. Her silver hair shining like the moon. She cleared her throat and began speaking.

"Good evening everyone, I am Claudion von Percetta and I will be your host for this party organised by Mr. Ayato Kirisaki. Unfortunately he is nowhere to be found and we can surely guess where he is though," said Claudion coughing the last part. All chuckled. Yeah, I know where he is, probably passed out somewhere. Drunken guys....

"As I was saying, I am here for an even greater announcement. This will be regarding the upcoming battle events. As you know, the WWMSA holds the three most important battle evemts in magic history since years. They are the Unicornelia, Thunder Ordelia and the Preliminary Partner battle. The Unicornelia Event is inter school, the Thunder Ordelia Event is between the winners of each school and The  Preliminary Partner battle is again between schools all over the country but you'll have an advantage that you get to duel with a partner. The First event notice is as follows: 

1. The selection will start with a one on one battle. Out of 800, only 200 will be able to enter the final event. The matches will start from next month.

2. You will be teleported into an inhabited island. Food and water supplies will be provided in the wild. You will have to kill and survive the Island. It is an artificial island so remember that internal attack tricks are already planted inside. The last three to remain will be considered the winners. 

3. You have to kill in order to level up. You have to either make them quit the match or kill them. If you die , you die. If any more queries, don't frit to come and ask but you better don't because I already explained it,duh. That's it." she finished and exited the stage.

"Is this a death game?" I shouted. This attracted everybody's attention towards me. 

"Umm, sorry." I fake smiled.

"What's with your sudden outbursts all of a sudden?" asked Azrail.

"We'll die?" I asked.

"Well, that depends. After all , everything that matters to us is winning." she said her eyes cynosured.

"You're right," I say. "Come on, let us atleast enjoy this one night. I'll go bring some drinks. Just go see if that balcony is empty." I say to her. She nodded.

I pick up 6 bottles of wine, and headed  back. She just sat there, looking up towards the moonlit sky.

"You have a brother, right?" I asked.

"You shouldn't interfere with my family. " she said looking down.

"I don't know what happened but I know something is wrong." I said handing her a bottle.

"Everything is wrong with my family." she said finishing half of the bottle in one go.

"Azrail, calm down. You are drinking too much!" I say.

"Who me? Nah , I am perfect. Hey Blaze, do you know why I don't speak about my family." she said gulping down the third bottle of wine.

"Azrail, this is enough. I am taking you're bottle." I said trying to snatch it from her.

"Blaze, you didn't answer me.  Do you know why I don't speak about my family? Because I killed them. HaHa. Filthy murderers. I am so ill-fated. Dosen't it feel good to kill murderers? I shattered soo much blood when I was younger. Don't worry, I like you, so I won't kill you. But I would love to slaughter that Allysia DeCorrupted. HaHa. Blaze, tell me, do you like Allysia, because  if you do, I'll kill you too. Haha." Azrail laughed. What the hell is she speaking. Suddenly she shoved a bottle into my mouth. Just how strong is she? She just made me gulp down the whole thing.

"Ralia, you even made me drunk. Don't you know, alcohol has bad affect on our health," I hiccuped.

"I know that nuthead. Isn't that a cute name. Impresionante!" she spoke.

"You can speak Spanish? Are you from Spain?" I said tranced.

"Nonono, I speak Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, Slovakian, German, French and Latin. You know my brother is in the Vermillion School of Dark arts and Magic. He really is very cool, but i am nothing like him. So I came to this academy. But you got my dream sword. That is soo not fair. I envy you soo much!" she spoke smiling.

"Huh, I have no idea what you said." I laughed. Suddenly we both fell down unconcious.

I woke up to find myself face to face with a girl dressed totally in black. 

"Alcohol really has bad effect on you both," the girl laughed.

I saw Azrail wake up and grasp her head.

"Who are you?" I asked. She just looked at Azrail and smiled.

"Azrail, perhaps you know someone named Ariel Marias." she smirked. Azrail was stunned by her question.

"Yes, you killed her, right? I am her younger sister, Night Marias. You have an exceptional strength and mind. Even better than your brother's, you know. I fought with him once, he is strong but he won because I got distracted in the middle. Don't worry, my sister deserved death. You're rare quality of magic and beauty defines no one else. No wonder they call you the Titanoregalian Aphrodite. " said Night.

"Blaze, don't worry love. She isn't what you think of her as. She is dangerous and spiteful if you understand her correctly. Goodnight, hope to meet you sometime soon." she said and disappeared into the shadows.

"Azrail, what is this about?" I asked her. Just how many people has she killed?

"Blaze, I will tell you everything but not now. Please, trust me on that." she begged me.

"Fine, but you will tell me." I said and carried her up, bridal style.

"What are you-" 

"Be quiet, you still are a bit drunken. Let me help you." I said.

We reached the dorms and I put her to bed. Today has been a long and awful day. Mysteries are still opening about the Venestella Family. But she said she killed them because they were murderers. I don't get her and what's with that the Night girl. I'll trust Azrail on that. I need answers.
