Chapter 10 – Ceremony for the First Test (1)

First Yuzui was standing, behind her there were Suz and then Yu and then Akio and at last Ichiro and then everyone started talking to each other.

Whereas Akio was still silent and Ichiro kept his hands on Akio's shoulder and when he turned back, his eyes were full of tears.

Ichiro said, "What happened, Akio? We made it this far so why are you so sad on the congratulations occasion?"

Akio hugged Ichiro and started asking for an apology for his rudeness and such behavior.

Yuzui smiled on seeing this scene that Akio and Ichiro had become friends again.

Akio said, "I am sorry, Ichiro. I never wanted to say it, please forgive me."

Akio was crying continuously and Ichiro said, "It's all right, I was never angry or upset with you so stop crying, whatever happened forget about it. Now stop crying."

At this scene, Akio was looking like he was a small child crying and Ichiro like a wise man.

Akio stopped crying and thanked Ichiro for not being upset and angry with him.

Every team with their teammates also arrived and the party has already started.

Emi was sitting on the throne and the host beast arrived and said,

"Survivors! You made it this far, I am glad to see this scene. So you all must eat and enjoy the party and after the party, we will continue with the ceremony and we will honor the top 20 Survivors with the most scores and the 3 top teams with the highest scores! Enjoy!"

And everyone started eating their meals and Ichiro was together with Akio. They also started eating their meals.

Whereas Yuzui was with Suz and Yu enjoying their party and eating meals.

Suddenly team members of another team started coming near Yuzui and said,

"Oh, miss. You are the captain of that losers Team E. How bad it was for you to lose half of your teammates, I guess you will have the lowest scores--"

And suddenly Ichiro arrived with Akio and said, "I don't think that we are going to be last, I guess we will be first in both team and members ceremony. At last Yuzui had worked hard for this, I guess."

The opposite team members were going to say something but by seeing Akio they left the place. Akio was making an angry face to threaten them and to make them leave.

Then Akio with Suz and Yu left the place so that Ichiro and Yuzui could talk.

Yuzui said, "How can you say that our team will be first in team ranking?"

Ichiro replied, "It's also a guess and you can see that all my guesses I guessed till now are true."

Yuzui said, "Guess? Really? Anyways, let's have some meals."

Yuzui and Ichiro took their meals and sat on the seats. The seats were in front of some of the beasts who were singing and playing instruments to entertain.

When the singing beasts saw Ichiro with a girl, they started playing romantic violin music.

Ichiro saw the singing beasts and smiled.

Yuzui and Ichiro ate some meals and had a good conversation. During the conversation, Yuzui asked Ichiro to tell his rank and Ichiro replied that he will soon tell her what his rank is.

When their meal was just going to end, some of the other members of other teams started discussing about the bad captaincy of Team E very near to Yuzui.

Yuzui was feeling guilty for nothing but Ichiro was there and making her calm and confident.

Soon they finished their meals and the announcement came that the ceremony for honoring the top will be starting soon and teams should gather up line wise and in front the team's captains will stand and behind it, their teammates.

Everyone gathered and the ceremony started.

"Welcome to the ceremony of honor! Today is a special day for those who have worked hard to pass the test. Now the ranking of teams will be started!"

Everyone was excited about which team would top.

Host beast started telling the ranks for top 3 teams,

"On 3rd is, it is Team B! Congratulations Team B for doing such great work! Please come here."

Team B arrived on the stage of the ceremony.

"On 2nd, it is Team D! Congratulations Team D for grinding hard for the test. But I am not that much surprised because you were having someone special. Anyways, please come on the stage."

Team D arrived on the stage. Now everyone's heartbeat was high to know who was first.

"So, the first is... Well I am not surprised by this team to come on this rank because it was having 2 great warriors... So the first ranked team is..." Everyone was waiting for the Team who will be first.

"It is... Team E! Congratulations Team E!"

At this moment people said that they might have heard wrong but the host beast again called Team E which shocked every Survivor and started asking how it is possible.

Yuzui was shocked and looked towards Ichiro and he showed his flex of guessing.

"Clapping for Team E! Please come on the stage, Team E."

Everywhere, just silence and no clapping. But Team E came on the stage and Yuzui started crying.

A man from Team D loudly said, "Why is there so much silence? Clapping for Team E."

And members of Team D started clapping for Team E winning.

Ichiro saw the man who said to clap and smiled.

The host beast said, "Well I am not shocked or surprised by knowing Team D to be second and Team E at first just because Team D has a topper of just rank 2 who got the most scores for the team and what to say about Team E, this team was actually having two greatest warriors and both are toppers, Ranker 3 and of course my lord as well of Rank 1 who disqualified one topper of Rank 5 but I knew they both will win."
