We Have to Win

Everyone gawked when they had seen him suddenly become the winner in an instant.

"A - Amazing....." Loli was amazed.

"In terms of speed then he is the 2nd best in our guild," Yajima said.

"Oh! Who is the first one?" Loli asked curiously.

"It's the octopus," Yajima answered.

"Cool! Cool! Cool! Let me have an interview with your guild Yajima-san!" Jason said excitedly.

"Let's talk about that later," Yajima said.

"Sure!" Jason nodded.

"Then with this, the event on the third day is over! Let's watch each group score at this event!" Loli said and looked at the screen that showed the score of each team.

"Infinite" with 40 points; "Sabertooth" with 38 points; "Lamia Scale" with 27 points; "Blue Pegasus" with 19 points; "Mermaid Heel" with 20 points; "Quatro Cerberus" with 7 points; "Twilight Ogre" with 6 points; and "Fairy Tail" with 5 points.

"It seems that your guild has become ranked 1st again, Yajima-san," Loli said.

"Haha, thank you. I am very happy, but "Sabertooth" is also strong," Yajima said with a solemn expression. "But we won't lose."

"Oh! Cool! Cool war declaration!" Jason was excited.

"Yes, I can wait to see who is going to become the champion of Grand Magic Games X790. Everyone, please wait a while before the match starts," Loli said.

Kagura walked toward him with a complex expression. "Why?"

"Hmm?" Haru looked at Kagura with a confused expression.

"At that speed. You should have been able to defeat me before with that speed," Kagura said. She saw him suddenly move very fast and appeared on the finish line. She was greatly surprised but it didn't hinder her to become the third one who had reached the finish line. She had used her gravity magic on everyone to stop them but Jura was so strong that it made a big blockade for everyone.

"I can't control that speed. If it's going straight, but to fight you then I need to get serious," Haru said. He only wanted to see the effect of his "pleasure magic" on Kagura but he decided to not tell her that.

"Oh...." Kagura nodded and seemed to accept his excuse. She knew that with that speed it would be hard to control and with her sword Haru might be cut in half.

Haru seemed relieved that this girl had accepted his explanation. "So... about our bet?"

Kagura nodded and said, "I have promised then we need to meet each other later."

"Good." Haru nodded and said, "How about we go to Ryuzetsu Land?" He thought that he could see Kagura in her bikini.

Ryuzetsu Land is an extremely well-known and popular summer vacation resort in Crocus, Fiore.

"Ryuzetsu Land? Why is it in that place?" Kagura asked.

"I am coming from a far place and I always have to go there. Can you?" Haru asked.

"...." Kagura thought for a while before nodded. "Sure. I'll wait for you there."

"No. Let's go together. I'll go to your inn later so that we can discuss the magic along the way since we only have a limited time," Haru said.

Kagura felt that Haru was reasonable and nodded. "Alright, you can go to my inn later."

Jura who was by their side felt that Haru was very powerful. He knew that Kagura was known as someone who hated a man but this young man suddenly became close to her. "Haru, you're very strong."

"Thank you, Jura-san. You're too fierce. If I am too late then I might be trapped in your magic," Haru said.

"Hahaha, I know that in terms of speed that I won't lose, but next time I will win against you," Jura said.

"Yes." Haru nodded.

Kagura heard their conversation and couldn't help but ask, "Have you defeated Jura?"

"No." Haru shook his head and said, "We have never fought."

Kagura only nodded.

They talked for a while before they went back to their seats.

"Ha... Ha... Ha..." Ichiya was dead tired and dragged his body back to his team.

"ICHIYA-SAN!!!!"

"Men....." Ichiya dropped on the ground with a handsome expression.

"ICHIYA-SAN!!!!"

"Men....."

"I am sorry...." Rogue clenched his hand since he had lost, especially when he had only reached the 4th position.

Minerva only looked at him and shook her head. "I can understand if you lose to that speed of light, but you have lost to Kagura."

Rogue couldn't say anything in response. His Shadow Dragon Slayer was strong and it also enhanced his speed but in front of gravity magic. He was very hopeless but he could at least his result wasn't bad since he was in the 4th position. Only he knew that wasn't enough since he wanted to become the best.

"There are still four final events. No matter what, we need to win those events," Minerva said with strict expression.

"Yes!"

Haru went back to his seat only when he was stared at by everyone. "What?"

"Nothing." They answered at the same time.

"What? Just ask, don't be annoying!" Haru was quite annoyed.

"You're very close to that Kagura," Kuroneko asked. She felt strange since Kagura was very angry at Haru but suddenly they had become very close to each other.

"I made a bet with her before the match," Haru said.

"Bet?"

"What bet?"

"Is it something perverted?"

".....," Haru frowned and said, "No. I have only asked her to teach me about her gravity magic since she is a master in that magic."

"......." They looked at him with a doubtful expression.

Haru only shook his head and sat down. "So Luffy, Teppei, and Kouha, you need to prepare since at least it should be one of you who will be fighting on the stage."

"You're very good at everting the conversation," Kuroneko said.

"That's not my intention." Haru was helpless but he didn't intend to say anything.

"The first match is Teppei versus Jura Neekis."

"......."

Everyone turned and looked at Teppei.

"Hahaha." Teppei laughed and seemed excited about this match.

"Then, I'll go now."
