《Ghost World Academia》62-Double Battle
Advertisement
“The First match is double battle, huh?”Ryuga looks at his mobile and says.“Well, if they go according to my instructions, the first match should be between Ellie and Clayton and one of their duos.”Ryuga says.
Ryuga looks at Ellie and Clayton walking on the stage.“Just like I thought. Ellie and Clayton are the ones taking the stage for the double battle.”Ryuga carefully starts observing them.
~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~
“From Team Deadly Fields, we have two young first years, The Vampire Princess, Ellie Norvich and one of Demon Lord’s son, Clayton. While from team Suzuki High, we have the young and uprising stars of Suzuki High, Zeniel Colt and Aisha Milk.”The crowd erupts.
“Well, well, well, didn’t expect to face a combination of a vampire and demon in Madam Tachibana’s team.”A young boy with slicked back red hair says with a smirk. He is wearing a Suzuki High uniform and seems to have a well-built body.
“I do not understand what they are planning. Both their abilities seem are supposed to be support type abilities. Who is their OST? And why would they make such a bad choice?”A girl with violet hair says. Compared to the red haired Zeniel Colt, she is a little shorter and has a darker skin tone. She also seems to be keeping her eyes closed.
“Well, it just means their OST is a big stupid peace of shit.”Zeniel says with a smirk.
“Are both teams ready?!”Ashley smirks as he raises his hand.
“No rebuttals, huh? I guess I was on point.”Zeniel says with an evil smirk.
“Clayton, if there was an option to kill that guy off, would you do it?”Ellie asks Clayton.“No.”Clayton says.“I would rather torture him to death and feed him to our pet dog.”Clayton says with a cold tone and a stoic expression.“I see…”
“Why the question though?”Ellie asks Clayton.“It’s because…”
“BEGIN!”Ashley signals with his hand.
As soon as, Ashley’s hand went down, Ellie suddenly appeared in front of Zeniel.“ZENIEL, WATCH OUT!”Aisha screams.
“I got this.”Zeniel smirks as he raises his hand aims two fingers on Ellie’s head almost as if he is shooting a gun.“Now!”Clayton says to Ellie.“I got you!”
Suddenly, Clayton teleports is front of Zeniel.“What the-“
A light went past Clayton’s cheek that grazes him but Clayton grabs Zeniel by his face and throws him out of bounds right behind him.
“STOP!”Aisha says as she opens her eyes and looks at Clayton. Aisha’s eyes seem to be glowing in deep blue. This ability stops Clayton in his tracks but…

“You are mine!”Ellie says as a bunch of hair surrounds Aisha.“What the-“Ellie wraps her hair around Aisha. Using her hair, she picks her up and throws Aisha off the stage and Clayton hits Zeniel sending him out of the stage.
“THE WINNER IS TEAM DEADLY FIELD FOR THE FIRST ROUND!”Ashley announces.
The crowd looks shocked as they were expecting Suzuki High to win.“There is an unexpected upset.”Lucifer says with a smirk.“They definitely did some crazy tricks. Especially that demon’s ability. I his ability makes him a real trickster on the team. Is he the OST of the team?”The Hidden Blademaster asks Lucifer.“The OST isn’t here yet it seems.”Lucifer says.“That is true. Your B team only has four participants when you registered 5 for your B team as well.”The Hidden Blademaster says.Bleeds silently watches the match.
Mizuki looked quite surprised.“It’s just as Ryuga had predicted…”Mizuki says.
~BACK DURING THE TEAM PLANNING~
“I will be honest, the only way to win the first round of the first match is if you get a double team battle.”Ryuga says.“What do you mean by that?”Mizuki asks Ryuga.
“Captain Tachibana, there is one thing you should know. There is a very strong combination on your team.”Ryuga says.“Are you talking about me and Jau?”Mizuki points and herself.
“No, I am talking about Clayton and Ellie.”Ryuga says with a smirk.“Those two, they are more than capable of handling whatever Suzuki High throws at them.’Ryuga says.
“I get it. Clayton’s ability to teleport himself near the person who is carrying the ball and the person themselves will go to Clayton’s position and if Ellie aims her hair well, even she can be dangerous with that sort of ability.”Jau says.
Ryuga nods,“Exactly. Therefore, I hope we can win the first round. But, that’s all I can hope for.”Ryuga says.
“What do you mean?”Mizuki asks.“Captain Tachibana, I think you know what I mean.”Ryuga says.
~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~
The train that Ryuga is on is nearing its destination, City-H.“Ryuga, we are almost there.”Kil says to Ryuga via telepathy.“I know. But I doubt we will make it before Mizuki’s match.”Ryuga says.
“What do you mean?”Kil asks Ryuga.“Jau’s match…Will end in an instant.”Ryuga says with a smile.
“Eh?”Kil looks confused.“Is Jau that weak?”Kil asks Ryuga.“The problem isn’t that she is weak…”Ryuga sighs,“The problem is that she is too strong…”

“The match between Jau Shiezel and Shaun Sheep has ended in an instant with Jau being disqualified for almost killing her opponent.”Ashley didn’t look surprised but rather disappointed.
“HUH?! WHAT?! I JUST HIT HIM ONCE! HOW DID I ALMOST KILL HIM?!”Jau complained.
The crowd were right behind her with comments like, “Yeah she’s right.” “She didn’t deserve to lose.” “She can’t do anything about a weak opponent like that.”
“Well, Power Idol or not…That chick is one of hell’s spawns to deal with. That’s for sure.”The Orc, Hidden Blademaster says.
“That’s true, she is Jau Shiezel after all. Alicia’s sister.”Lucifer looks at Bleeds with a death stare.
Bleeds looks back at Lucifer but doesn’t say anything.
~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~
On the train that Ryuga is riding,“The clean-up is complete!”The woman who was with the little 20-year-old girl says as she puts a bag of corpses in the corner of her seat.“Hey, tell me, what is that fake pride planning now?”The woman asks the little girl.“He wants a boy. Aragi Ryuga.”The little girl says with no expression.
“Why? We already have two pride thanks to my old man. We have two envy as well. Now, is that fake shit trying to add another one to the account of those which we already have?”The woman asks the little girl.“It seems like that. He says that Ryuga would be a perfect match for our second wrath.”The little girl answers the woman without a change in her expression.
“Tsch! I hope he dies by Ryuga’s hand.”The woman says to the little girl.
“Oh, it’s you guys.”A familiar voice calls out for the little girl and the woman.Both turn around to see Ryuga enter the room.
“Thank god he came after we cleared up the room or else we would have had to kill him.”The woman sighs.
The little girl gets up and hugs Ryuga.“Eh?”Ryuga looks confused.“Boss?!”The woman looks confused.
“What’s the matter?”Ryuga asks the little girl.“Your body is warm. I like it.”The little girl says.
“Warm…She doesn’t say that to anyone except me…”The woman inspects Ryuga with her eyes.
Ryuga pats the little girl’s head with a smile.“Why are you here anyways?”The woman asks.
“Oh, City-H is getting closer, I need to get off. So, I came here since it’s the least crowed gate.”Ryuga says to the woman.“It’s a surprise though, there is no one on the train except you guys and me.”Ryuga looks around the empty train.
“The driver ate them all.”The little girl says.“Huh?”Ryuga looks confused.
“Excuse me, Boss seems to be dreaming right now! Don’t mind her!”The woman tries to separate the little girl from Ryuga but the little girl isn’t letting go of him.“Boss, let him go, he needs to get off on the next station.”The woman says to the little girl.
“Are you guys from another City?”Ryuga asks the woman and little girl.“Yeah, we will be heading to City-I.”The woman says.
“I get it.”Ryuga says.“Aight, my stop is here.”Ryuga says as the train is nearing his stop.
“Let go of him Boss, he needs to go.”The woman says to the little girl.“I won’t. I like him, so I won’t let go.”The little girl says with no change in expression.
“Hey, if you let me go, I promise I will come visit you in City-I.”Ryuga says to the little girl.“You will?”The little girl asks Ryuga.Ryuga nods.The little girl leaves Ryuga.
Ryuga smiles.“You better keep your promise or else I will kill you.”
(She really is like a child huh?)
City-H is almost here.Ryuga looks back at both of them.“Can I…Ask your names?”Ryuga asks.
“Sharron Close.”The woman says.“Freya.”The little girl says.
(A name of a Goddess, huh? Interesting.)Ryuga smiles.
“What’s your name?”The sliding door to City-H opens.“Mine is, Aragi Ryuga.”Ryuga says with a smile as he leaves.
“Aragi…Ryuga.”Sharron suddenly remembers,“ISN’T THAT THE KID THAT FAKE SHIT IS HUNTING?!”Sharron screams at Freya.
“Sharron…”Freya looks at Sharron with an angry face.“If he does anything to Ryuga, kill him.”Freya says.
“Boss?”Sharron looked surprised at Freya’s actions.“I don’t want anything to happen to, Ryuga. After all, he promised.”Freya smiles.
“It’s always like this with her. She always…Finds someone good but no one ever stays. Maybe…I will just kill him instead.”Sharron thought to herself.
~GHOST WORLD ACADEMIA~
Ryuga ran at top speed and made it to the stage.“Sorry guys, I ran late!”Ryuga said as he arrived along with everyone.
He saw inside the ring,“What the hell…Is happening there?!”
Ryuga saw Mizuki in a half damaged state with torn clothes and Kira with no damage at all standing in front of Mizuki.

On the other side of these portals, sits a vast new world with resources galore.

What makes this new world different from the countless others in the universe? If it sounds too good to be true, then it likely is. But those are questions for another day. For now, our protagonist will grasp this opportunity with both hands and claw his way to the top while facing the obstacles in his path as he goes! -Cover Art- The cover art is composed of two parts. 1: The hand was drawn by Robert Marzullo, a professional artist who has illustrated a few comic books and had some 3D animation on television. He is currently illustrating his own comic book 'Blackstone Eternal'.

Her only ask is that she is credited, and that is more than fair!

Child of Nightmares
You can't master fear. You can only embrace it and hope you're strong enough to finish what you started before it destroys you. Vi has always dreamed about being summoned to a fantasy world, where she can fulfill her dreams of heroism and adventure and escape her boring, depressing, real life. But if there's one thing true about Vi, it's that her dreams are dark, terrible, and never what they seem. Since she was a child, she's been the victim of chronic nightmares that seem to defy all reason. Her mind is clouded by an almost sentient darkness, seeking her weaknesses and exploiting them for its malevolent ends. For ten years, the only thing standing between her and insanity has been her own iron will. But iron corrodes, and Vi knows she can't hold on much longer. Now her dreams have come true. She finds herself in a world of magic, monsters, and legendary heroes. But Vi is no hero. She's a teenage nerd with no real skills, and surviving in this strange new land is no easy task. She will need to grow and adapt, conquer impossible odds, and stand face to face with terrifying monsters. One thing is certain: Vi's struggles will change her.

Nowhere to Run
Nina is a young priestess that just started her journeys in the Highlands, in a faraway land. But everything falls apart when greater forces are scheming and unknown men are suddenly after her. She will have no choice but to resort to her wits, make unexpected allies, and navigate her way through unforgiving lands in order to survive. Will she be up to the task? Greetings, reader! First of all, thank you for taking an interest and read my story. This is a story I've been working through all my life. But since I'm a first-time writer, I wanted to start with something small. This is just a small part of something much greater that hopefully one day I'll be able to translate into words as well. I will try to make it interesting as possible but please bear with me. Please understand that English is not my native language, I worked really hard to write in English the best I could. So please if you find any typos and grammar errors let me know. I'll try to upload new chapters as soon as I can. Although I had originally planned to deliver a chapter a MONTH, I think the real estimate would be a chapter EVERY 3 MONTHS since I also have to earn the daily bread. Cover picture made by me. The background picture is from Google but I modified it enough from the original. The story is also available on Wattpad, Inkitt, Scribblehub, and Webnovel.

Again
Most villains, no matter how terrifying, are defeated by a hero on the first try. The hero may be forced to flee or otherwise delay the real confrontation, but it’s still certain that he will win when it occurs. But some villains simply defeat all comers. Against an opponent like that, the only options are to give up or to try again. --- This story is a participant of the WriTEr's pledge. In short, I promise to finish it, and may I be Hall of Shamed if I don't.
