Announcer: Next up is, Romeo from Elune vs Cecily from Zengoku!
--- Chapter 97 ---
Cecily: You’re going down, Romeo was it? Doesn’t matter.
Romeo: Ouch, such harsh words from the woman about to lose.
Cecily: It seems we are both confident in our skills. This should be more entertaining than I had thought.
Romeo: Do you know that Elune has a group of skilled mages that perform scouting, espionage, and the like?
Cecily: No, and I don’t really care either.
Romeo: Well you should as I’m on that team. Normally the team is S ranks and higher only, but they made an exception for me.
Cecily: Is that so?
Romeo: Yup, so I won’t hold back because my Amelia is watching. Amelia! I’m sorry! I have to use my boyish charm on another woman! I hope you can forgive me!
Amelia lowers her head in embarrassment, Elias turns his head and laughs at her quietly.
Cecily: Boyish charm? Who would fall for that haha!
Romeo draws his sword with a smile.
Romeo: Listen, look around.
Cecily looks at the crowd, a lot of women seem to swoon for him. She looks confused.
Romeo: My arcana, Lovers Aura is always active. Women without arcanas are just naturally attracted to me and would do anything for me if I asked.
Cecily: That arcana… Is useless against me! While I admit it is a strong ability, but I have an arcana, so all you have is that sword!
Romeo: And that’s all I need.
He says with a smile. He unsheaths the blade and dashes in at an incredible pace
Cecily: So quick!
Romeo stabs forward, slicing her arm slightly, keeping the blade a centimeter in her body.
Cecily: What the! Heh, why didn’t you aim for something better like the head or chest haha!

Romeo: Because it’s not necessary, I already won.
Cecily: Right, a little paper cut like that-
Her eyes go wide. The blade is glowing a dull red.
Romeo: My blade while even slightly piercing the flesh of someone seals their arcana.
Her body stands at ease.
Romeo: I apologize, but can you forfeit.
Cecily: Of course, anything for you. I forfeit.
He removes the blade and she blinks her eyes back into reason. And shock runs through her body.
Announcer: And that makes two forfeits in a row! How incredible! What a scary power indeed!
Cecily: You!
Romeo: I told you, I can’t look bad in front of Mrs. Amelia. If I can do something that is.
Cecily has an angry look, and storms off the stage. Romeo looks into the crowd, smiles, and returns to the room. In the stands, Elias turns to face Ame.
Elias: You know, I don’t think he’s joking around anymore.
Ame: Yah.
Announcer: OK! Next up is Schneli from academy vs. -
The rumbling of papers is heard as if he is rereading and checking his roster.
Announcer: Uh, Super Ultimate Mega Hero Godslayer The 3rd from academy! Is that his real name?

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021.
