《Tales Of The Dark Mage: New Moon| Part I》Chapter 45: Gameday Part IV

Valencia: I will attempt to get along with her; I will give her enough time to turn a new leaf. But if she doesn't put in the effort, she's dead, do I make myself clear!? Sora: Crystal clear. Valencia: Alright, we're here, don't make an ass of yourself. And thanks for talking with me. Once you go through those double doors, the press will have all eyes on you. And one piece of advice, speak to the journalists in their native language. Sora: Thanks, V.

I walked inside the room. The first thing I noticed was that I have a packed house with journalists waiting for me. Everyone stopped looking at their phones and notes to notice who just walked in, and I perceived the long wooden table with a blue tablecloth on it with microphones, and the two broadcasting cameras started to lock on to me. Everyone hurried to get to their seats. This Hispanic lady with a navy blue suit came towards me and guided me to the table. I had a seat. I remark on the diversity. The sweat coming off my forehead, then the surge of energy rushed to my fingers, couldn't stop myself from tapping on my legs.

Now, I'm thinking about it. The lady with the navy blue suit with black hair must be the PR person. I guess she's been managing the crowd in here. I think I saw her name tag, but what was her name?!

Oh, great, she's coming to me, her name is Rosa Ortega.

Rosa: Hi, Mr. Hestia, my name is Rosa. We're going to start everything right now, so any questions before we start? I had seen you talk to the press multiple times when you were in the U.K, and I have seen your Royaltube channel, so this should be a walk in the park. Sora: I see we have a diverse cast of people, so what language should I speak? Rosa: You can speak English if you want. Everyone in the room can speak it. Sora: I heard that I should speak to the journalist in their native language. Rosa: If you're fluent in it, then go for it. Sora: There's only some I can't speak, but I know what they're saying if I know their language. Rosa: Don't worry, I can be your translator if you fail to understand them. Sora: Thanks.

Rosa: We will begin the pre-match press conference of Sora Hestia. Mr.Hestia will pick each person that raises their hand to ask him a question. Since Mr.Hestia can speak multiple languages, you're allowed to use your native language. So when he picks your name and native language. Mr.Hestia, you can start picking people.

Everyone in the peanut gallery raised their hand, so who should I pick? I guess I'll pick the Latino with the lavender suit with the messy hair and the evil-looking mustache. Oh, he's wearing the press pass on around his neck, and his name is Michael Hernandez.

Sora: The guy on the very end of the first row on the right. Everyone's hands went down when I chose a person afterward. The guy started to smile as he stood and waved at everyone. He picked his phone and tapped it once. Then he stated his name.

Michael: I know you can speak Español since I did an article about you. So, Sora, all of us wondered why you didn't join the Crimson Leones Mafia Club? Also, tell us about your mage combat style? And do you think you fight like your siblings, or do you fight like your mother?

Sora: I didn't join because Sophia Accordia wanted to help the Twilight Tigers reload and make a championship run. If we don't make a good playoff run, we will join the Crimson Leones Mafia Club. And also, to answer your second question, my combat style is all around. Michael: Thank you. And you Español with such class, well you spent a lot of time with the Accordia family so it shouldn't be a surprise.

Rosa: Next person. Sora, I pick the person on the back row with the black fedora and the Queen's logo. It looks like we have someone from the Noble Press. The guy has bleached skin, blueberry, and a round head like a makeshift bowling ball with a gap between their teeth and has very thick eyebrows. He stands up from his chair then says his name is Johnathan Monsterr.

Jonathan: Do you believe that your current club can beat reigning undisputed champions, the Crimson Leones Mafia Club? Sora: I believe my club can beat them, but it won't be easy. They're the champs because they know their identity, and frankly, my club doesn't have that yet. We're still looking for it. The CLMC has faced great teams countless times. They defended their title multiple times. But I'll say this, with me in this club, and we have a shot at beating them.

Rosa: Next person. Sora: I will pick the elder right directly in front of me. The elder has a very pearly complexion with a shaved head, and his beard screams caveman. The elder stood up and did the same thing as the rest. His name is Allen Tullos.

Allen: I'm from the U.S and my question. Umm, so your mom has stated to the media multiple times that your brother and sisters have something in common with her in their fighting styles. Also, she'd even mentioned your late older brother Vince Hestia, that he also had something in common with her. Sora: May you share what they all have in common, you see, I've been separated from my family for eight years, so I can't give you a precise answer. The only time I saw one of them in action was last season's championship. When my brother hilariously embarrassed my now club member Deshon Flowers. If Sophia Accordia was with me now, she could probably give you a better answer than I ever could. She always mentions my family when something big happens.

Allen: For Ryder, what he shares with Maina is his strategy for everything. He can develop the best plans with little to no time, and he can come up with an unbeatable strategy when given time to prep. It's simply impossible to out-think him. And for your sister Sapphire Hestia, it's her magical offensive capabilities. For Ruby, it is her god-like strength. For Vince, it is his tenacity. You and everyone has something with y'all mother. There is a rumor report that you fight like your mother. There are some reports that Maina Hestia herself spoke these words about you. It goes like this, you have her strength and exceed her in intelligence, and you have her speed and magical prowess. Sora: Well, my mom and I had a little spar, so that report most likely is authentic.

Rosa: This journalist had to leave early before you got here, and so I will repeat one of his questions for you. What is your relationship between you and Sophia Accordia?

Sora: My relationship with Sophia Accordia is that we are betrothed. Her majesty is allowing us to be married in two-three years. And I will take the next question. I choose the gentlemen in the very back corner on the left wall. The gentleman is wearing a solid grey suit hoodie with a shaved head with charcoal jeans and grey shoes. He went on him, and I guess he pushed the record button; his name is Marcus Smith from The Real Journalism of Atlanta Mage Tech Press.

Sora: Man, I haven't been home in years! So how is Atlanta? Marcus: Well, our sports are doing better, and our soccer team became champions in their second season. Our football team needs to wake up and play their best. But other than that, we're good. And the weather has been bi-polar in recent years. But anyway, my question is do you think that you will win this year, MVP and freshman of the year. For the past five years, the Past MVPs have been Ryder Hestia, then Ruby and Sapphire are the first-ever co-MVP winners. After that season, Sapphire and Ruby won it again, then after that season, Ryder won it back-to-back times. This year might be Ryder's last season before he goes to the World Mage Association. Last season he won unanimous MVP and completed a back-to-back season of winning MVP. No singular person has done that feat since the 1992 and 1993 seasons. That person who did this same feat was your mom Maina Hestia. Your mom has the current record of having the most MVPs and winning them in succession. No other person has repeated this feat unless Ryder stays for two seasons of play, and he has to win MVP this year's next year's award. Do you plan to stop his streak?

Sora, be cocky with this question! I seek entertainment!

Fine, I'll do it.

Sora: I do you one better not only; I will win MVP and Freshman of the year, my club will also win this year's championship! Marcus: Well, I don't know about winning the championship, since the CLMC has won it four times in a row. And this year's team is the best team that this club ever has in club history. Maina said it herself. She admitted it's better than the 1993 season team. This year's team has twenty royal mages. They never had this many royals before on the CLMC. They're heavily favored to win it all this year. Vegas gave them a ninety-seven percent chance of winning the whole thing. How can the Twilight Tigers overcome those odds?! And don't forget they're the reigning champs undisputed champs. Sora: Well, first, we have to have trust in one another of our abilities. And second, we have to find our identity for this team; we don't know what we need. It doesn't matter how strong I am; if none of us work for a team, there's no victory. They're the defending champs for a damn reason. They have that drive that fuels them to go at it every single year. The room began to go crazy with the mumbling with each other. Then it became chaos like the calm before the storm, then Rosa made the room shake with a loud snap of her fingers. Everyone got back in line, and Marcus began to speak after clearing up his throat to gather everyone’s attention.

Marcus: Interesting, it's not baseless confidence. You're giving them their due credit like you should. And you seem to understand it's not a one or two-person show. It's a team game. I know you will have a great season.

Rosa: Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we only have time for one more due to the game time being at exactly noon. Hestia has to go and prepare for today's match. Sora: I pick the person wearing Japan love the god of mages t-shirt on in Japanese. The person introduced himself as Kishimoto Hiro, from the Maina Official Press Inc. He asked me if it's okay to speak in Japanese, I told him sure. And I told him to not use an honorific for me.

You're loving this, you freaking weeb.

Come on, Rin, I'm actually talking to a Japanese person in public!!! This is a dream come true, and leave me alone and stay quiet while we're in public. I want to know how good is my Japanese. Let me be an otaku, damn it!!!

Kishimoto: The Twilight Tigers are being called a fallen powerhouse club. What do you think you need to do to make this club a strong powerhouse club again? Sora: I don't think we're a fallen powerhouse club because the season is not over, not by a long shot, and this club was great last year. We're carrying on the will of the former players. And plus the only difference between this year and last year really is the size of the club, we're a group of ten while last year had like ninety-six players or something like that. We have to make a statement in today's match if people call us a fallen powerhouse club.

Rosa: That is the last question, Sora Hestia, please proceed back with your team.
