《Devour》Chapter 15: Perfect Match
Advertisement
Everyone went inside the mansion to recover and talk about how they can improve themselves in the future. The power that Jio shows to the group makes everyone wonder what class he transcends, Magician, Warrior, or both. It is possible to excel as a magician and warrior, but it requires focus, hardship, will, and experts to train him privately.
Jio explains how his soul weapon works and shows them how good of a magician he is to the group, which only pop another question in everyone's head.
"I was thinking about making a pack with you guys tonight?" Jio let out
Everyone looks at Jio, and Mickey said, "I never had a brother. I'll be glad to call you my little brother!"
Everyone nodded, and Aera ring the bell on the table, calling Mr. B, "How may I help you with, young miss?"
"Can you grab the best wine on the shelf for us, Mr. B?" Aera requests.
"As you wish, young miss," Mr. B replies and heads his way.
Mr. B brings a branded bottle of wine known for being dry and easy-drinking, making it one of the world's most famous wines in the country. Mr. B poured everyone a glass of wine and leave the room.
Everyone raises their glass and starts to sworn, "Tonight by the name of Midas Family, I Aera Midas oath to be your sister from now on."
"And I Dino Strong of Blood Tribe to be your big brother by oath." Dino proudly let out.
"And I Kiba Dragon, son of Gil Dragon, is also now your sworn brother," Kida said and smile.
"I Mickey Chenn wielder of the Legendary thunderbolt oath to be loyal and faithful to my beloved Aera and brother to everyone in this room," Aera blushes in surprise by Mickey's word.
Jio said casually, "And finally, I Jio De Vil be the youngest sworn brother of the group."
Everyone looks at him happily.
Jon morphs again, extending to everyone at the table and said, "I request everyone's a drop of blood."
Everyone didn't question Jio, and one by one, offered a drop of blood.

"Thank you," Jio gives a marble size space rock to everyone and starts explaining how the marbles work.
"Place the marble to your soul weapon or item since the marble has the ability 'absorption' from Monsgus," Jio announces and continues, "Aera, your marble doesn't have any stored energy. Still, it gives your soul umbrella the ability to absorb energy and use it at your disposal."
"I can't wait to use it!" Aera let out and bows to Jio.
Aera places her marble in her umbrella's tip that melts like ice and combines with the soul umbrella, now have a black flower design.
"Mickey, your marble right now has the lighting charge from your attack stored in your marble," Jio said
"Sweet! Thank you, brother," Mickey happily let out.
Mickey places his marble in his soul necklace, hooking itself to the soul item without morphing.
"Dino, your marble have your pure energy on it since after using your ultimate move makes you every weak, but with energy stored for you for emergencies, you can overcome most situation thanks to the power stored!" Jio proudly said.
Dino places his marble on a brass knuckle giving it a black lining design.
"And lastly, Kiba, your marble has Dino's pure energy right now," Jio said.
"Dino's power? Sounds interesting! Thank you," Kiba replies.
Kiba hooks the marble to his bracelet and blending to the keychain.
Everyone is happy tonight, thanks to the power-up!
*Ranking competition*
An oval amphitheater in the center of the school where is the event is being held. The colosseum was built by King Arthur, the founder of Hell School, and constructed every building around the arena. Made from limestone, volcanic rock, and brick-faced concrete, it is the biggest building in the school and can hold an average of 50,000 audiences of students, staff members, and visitors. The colosseum is open 24/7 for students that want to test their skills with another student.
Approximately 22,000 students are enrolled, and half are willing to participate in this month's event, so the principal decided to make everything exciting and enjoyable for the viewers.
"Greetings visitors, staff, and students. Welcome to our humble school, and happy to say that today's competition would be interesting than the previous years," the principal said in a loud voice using a voice amplifier magic, soul item with vibration effect.

Jio and his group entered the arena and saw thousands of people in their seats to watch today's competition. Loud shouts and rumbles in the stadium right after the students come out as the gates slowly open.
Around 350 students are scattered about in the center of the colosseum while some are excited, and some feel anxious. The screen display pops again and starts to count down.
10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1 FIGHT!
Jio tells everyone to move to the edge and wait. Everyone starts to activate their soul weapon or magic stones and begin to unleash their ability. They start to move while any Blood Tribe people can be noticed in the center, causing all spectators to get excited since Blood Tribe's can show their true might in this battle royale with all the blood around the arena.
Some students stay away from the Blood Tribe students while others try their luck and strength only to regret their choice. Jio's group quickly reaches their destination thanks to Dino's intimidating appearance and his blood ability. While everyone fights on the center, some start to notice Jio's group and realize that they have more chance of getting a better rank in teams, so the battlefield change dramatically from a senseless rumble to a group fight.
"Hun, want to warm up?" Aera suddenly ask Mickey
The rest look at the couple, confused, "Sure! Whatever you want!" The rest ask themselves what happened to Mickey after the mansion and imagine what Aera did to Mickey to be so submissive that it scares them deep to the bone.
The spectator continues to roar while the announcer comments on the most exciting fight on the battlefield, making everyone excited. Mickey activates his soul necklace as the marble starts to melt into the necklace and morph to roots like to his skin. His eyes begin to produce electricity as he charges to the nearest and unluckiest students.
He punches five students while a strong current of electricity travels through their bodies before passing out. Every time someone passes out or is unable to fight, a light shield will cover their body and get swallowed by the ground since the student's safety is the priority.
"Oh! What is this! Who's that! Is that Mickey, the Perverted Monkey? HE JUST ONE PUNCH FIVE STUDENTS!" the announcer said while every spectator looks in his direction, surprising everyone.
Students near him on the ground or flying in a group start to charge towards him, especially girls. Aera did not let anything terrible happen to Mickey as she throws her umbrella like a spear with wind magic to the students behind Mickey. He grabs and opens the umbrella, ready to take every fireball that the group of magicians cast towards him, and explodes. That Explosion sent Mickey flying but unharmed near Aera as she jumps while Mickey prepares to give her a hand and throw the spear at her.
In the air, Aera is like a Goddess with a perfect figure and white skin like snow looking down on humans while the spectators hold their breath, not knowing what she is planning to do.
Aera's face turns serious as she activates her wind magic holding his soul umbrella firmly, and this time she didn't descend but went up like a firework going up and went down while fire starts to flare up on the spear's tip.
"DEATH STAR!" Jio let out will Dino and Kiba look at him, "I love naming signature attack, okay?"
Aera descends faster and faster, aiming at the center of the battlefield while Mickey went back to the group.
