Dungeon Master

Several years ago

A Beautiful woman with long white hair walked down a long dark corridor. She eventually found a large metal door that took up the width of the corridor she walked down. After punching in some numbers in a passcode the doors open to reveal an elevator. As she goes in she travels further down, and down until the heavy doors reapon and reveal an empty room. It looked infinitly empty with darkness yet in the center of the room laid a single wooden desk filled with stacks of paper and a single computer. Next to the computer sat a picture of her, a person who looked like her husband and a small child.

As she sat down to work for a long period of time the doors eventually opened once again. This time they revealed Professor Senjuro. He then spoke,

"Good evening Madame"

[Madame] What do you want? I told you not to speak to me unless it's about the project.

[Senjuro] Don't worry I bear good news. We were able to find a fragment of it buried in a volcano overseas. It's already on its way to Japan.

[Madame] Is that all?

[Senjuro] There is something I would like to know

[Madame] go on

[Senjuro] Even if we manage to get a part of it. Is there a vessel capable of holding that much power? And even so how long will it take till we find one?

"We will cross that road when we get to it.", she says before quickly dismissing the man.

Senjuro left the room unsure of what they were doing. Did it even have a point?

Back to the present day

She sat in the Hospital bed unconscious. Yumeno was still suffering from the injuries from that day. Even the reverse cursed technique professionals could not heal the mental wounds that she had sustained during that fight.

Ken slammed his fist against the wall while shouting,

"DAMN IT"

Akumu tried to calm him down,

"It's not your fault. There was nothing we could do."

"I WAS THE ONE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO IN TODAY GOD DAMN IT.", he simply shouted.

Someone then tapped Akumu on the shoulder. He turned around only to be hit by a fist filled with cursed energy. Akumu crashes into a nearby wall with a small amount of blood spilling from his mouth. He looks up only to see Arthur along with Yukiko and Hagone.

The other two quickly went down to help him back up while Arthur began to shout.

"YOU. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HER WHEN I COULDN'T STAND BY HER SIDE. WHAT KIND OF A LEADER WATCHES AS THEIR TEAMMATE GETS BEATEN DOWN LIKE THAT? WHAT KIND OF A SORRY EXCUSE OF A LEADER ARE YOU TO WATCH AS A GIRL GETS EMBARRASSED LIKE THAT PUBLICLY? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STAND BY HER SIDE ANYMORE. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO CALL YOURSELF MY RIVAL."

Yukiko quickly tried to defend him,

"If he could have done something about that don't you think he would've?"

But before Arthur could shout anymore Akumu slowly stood back up. He limped towards Arthur only walk past him quietly before speaking,

"your absolutely right. I'm really pathetic"

He exited Yumenos's hospital room with a newfound hatred swirling in his eyes as a small part of his hair slowly turned black.

Hagone who was still in the room asks ,

"Where is Omo-sensei?"

meanwhile in China's lobby room.

Qiang was laughing while surrounded by two of the girls on the same team,

"DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON HER FACE AS SHE WAS SCREAMING ON THE FLOOR??" He laughed loudly while all the girls laughed with him as well.

Xiang then spoke while still laughing,

"She was stupidly weak for a gojo clan member, I bet that our Haoran could even beat her brother."

The three look toward him but he only responds,

"Stupid behavior like that will only bite you in the ass one day Qiang, Discipline yourself. Because of your arrogance, you came second in the last match."

The two begin to argue about crushing the Japanese team and making sure that they win the tournament. That's when a much older man began to walk between the two. He wore an odd-looking hat as well as walking with a black walking stick tinted with gold engravings. He then shouted,

"ENOUGH. XI QIANG, YOUR FOOLISHNESS HAS COST US SECOND PLACE IN THAT MATCH."

He quickly silences himself before resuming his drinking.1

"And then there is you lord Haoran. Please understand that with your position as the next emperor of China, you cannot be allowed to lose to any of that filth."

Haoran responded, 

"I'm sorry, teacher Guang."

Suddenly the door to the room is ripped from its hinges before being thrown in between the two Cultivators.

All of the Chinese team members got up prepared for a fight but their teacher quickly intervenes.

"What is the manager of the Japanese team doing here?"

Heavy breathing could be heard from the shadow of that corridor. Then walking out of that darkness Yasei Omo emerged, yet he was incredibly different. His hair was more wild and even longer than before, his eyes were sharp and even more beast-like, his teeth had completely changed to that of a different species as saliva dripped from his mouth and finally, his fingernails were elongated and sharp enough to shred through concrete.

He looked straight through the man and prepared himself to charge towards Xi Qiang but that's when Pao Guang began to release his cursed energy.

[Guang] Understand that if you attack us now your team will be disqualified from the tournament. Even if you were to come at us anyway do you really believe that you could take all 6 of us out?

The beastified teacher finally calming down slowly returned into a more human shape. He finally spoke,

"I just came to deliver a warning. If you dare brutalize my students like that one more time... I won't hesitate to send all of you back to China with missing limbs, even the authority of your whole country will not save you from me."

The teacher finally backing down retreats into the darkness. Then Xi Qiang and the 2 girls began to break down laughing.

"DID YOU SEE THAT GUY?? HAHAHAH. HE REALLY THOUGHT HE COULD THREATEN US?"

As he continued to laugh the green-haired boy who hid in the corner of the room dropped to his knees while trembling. 

Haoran then asked him,

"Liu Zheng are you okay??"

He was too scared to even utter a word. But that's when their teacher finally spoke.

"Zheng is right to be scared. In our country, I am supposed to be at the peak of the Heaven status2 but I know that if I were to fight that man. I would probably lose my life in the process."

The next day in the arena

"IS EVERYONE READY TO RUMBLE???", Frosty Whipp shouted over the microphone

The whole arena screamed in excitement.

"THEN LETS BEGIN THE 3rd ROUND!!!"

Like the round before a giant holographic display surrounds the whole arena. It revealed the presence of a giant medieval castle that appeared to be upside down. In confusion, everyone wondered what the next round would be about.

[Leonie] After the last round we decided to change the focus of today's match to be more RPG-centered.

The usually quiet Tyrece finally speaks now revealing his incredibly deep voice.

"Today's game is called Dungeon Hunt. Each participant will be allowed to select a random number between 1 and 100. Once they do they must fight between a randomly selected number of either 50 grade 3, 33 grade 2, 16 grade 1, and 1 special grade cursed spirits. each cursed spirit will give a point of 1,3,6 or 10 points respectively. And as a little side quest if you manage to kill every single cursed spirit in the tower you will be given a reward!

Frosty Whipp then took over the mic,

"LIKE THE ROUND BEFORE THE PLAYERS WILL BE RANDOMLY PICKED."

"FROM THE AMERICAN CORNER WE HAVE, WALLACE THE BEAR???"

The Crowd was confused at the sight of it. How did the brown bear manage to enter a school? Nevertheless, join a tournament. Frosty Whipp however continued with the announcements,

"FROM THE KOREAN TEAM WE HAVE THEIR LEADER, SUNG GON-ILL"

Unlike his teammates before him, this one wore a pitch-black outfit. He radiated an aura of confidence that was felt by everyone in the arena.

"FROM THE JAPANESE CORNER IS ANOTHER HEAD CAPTAIN, SAIGO AKUMU"

No one cheered or booed for that team. Not only had they lost to two rounds in a row but one of their teammates may have been too fatigued to continue. There was only pity towards the already collapsed team.

"AND FINALLY FROM THE CHINESE TEAM IS HAN MEIYING"

The men in the crowd's heads almost exploded from the size of her chest while the women could only look at them frustratedly. Tyrece the chad who sat in the stand seemingly couldn't understand what they were bothered by.

Unlike the previous rounds, there was no timer. A robotic voice would ask each of the members how many cursed spirits they would like to fight and in turn, that same number would spawn inside the dungeon.
