The Wargame

The word of war game has spread like wildfire. Everyone is exited about it. Wargames are the main source of money for guild too, so they are also looking forward to it.

Bell went to Syr and apologized for his bad manners. They decided to talk outside the tavern in an empty passage way.

Bell " I am really sorry about that day, Syr. I was trying to avoid this situation I am in. Please forgive me. "

Syr " It's okay Bell I forgave you. You were trying to avoid the fight. On top of that I heard that you are in big trouble now "

Bell " Yeah, I have a war game to fight."

Syr " How are you suppose to win this all by yourself ?"

Bell " I don't know. I would like to train with Ryu sensei some more. "

Syr " I will ask her, but I am not sure about it. You know how adamant Ryu is ? Better you find another teacher."

Bell lost hope " Yeah..." Bell left behind Syr and walked away. Syr could only stand there and watch.

Welf asked Hephaestus to leave this Familia and join Hestia Familia. But Hephaestus Rejected it because she didn't want him to get into much more trouble.

Takemikazuchi Familia wanted to avoid much trouble but at the same time they wanted to help Hestia.

Bell had only 10 days to prepare. Bell decided to train martial arts with Takemikazuchi. Welf put away his pride and decided to make magic swords for Bell.

Bell has to defeat the captain of the Apollo Familia in order to win. Apollo Familia will be holding a castle. He needs to enter the castle in order to get to the captain. Their Captain will be protected by 100 subordinates. Majority of them are level 1s, a few level 2s and only one level 3. Bell has got three days to defeat the captain. If the captain survives for 3 days they will win.

Bell learn really faster than his own companions. He learned many new technics to counter his enemies from Takemikazuchi.

Welf constructed plot armor, a new strong sword for bell.

Miach Familia provided him with full portions.

Takemikazuchi trained bell all day and night. He tried new technics that even his companions were unable to master them. He helped him to pull out his new skill Argonaut. He was able to push him to rank S and even SS in some, except in magic.

Bell already made a strategy to defeat the captain.

...

A day before the war game.

Hestia was updating his status.  Now Bell is high level 2. They decided to keep it a secret till everything is over. Hestia have no other option to do it. She cut her skin in her finger little bit deeper. Blood started to flow out quickly. Bell had a strange and bright red eyes.

It's 1 vs 100 basically.

Everyone is cheering for Apollo Familia. Nobody except for Hephaestus, Miach and Takemikazuchi are cheering for Bell and Hestia. Loki Familia considered it as a one sided match. Many of the Gods were not interested even to watch. The Freya Familia remain silent.

God Hermes unexpectedly supported Hestia. It seems like he had an interest on Bell as well.

The war game was taking place outside Orario. He had to Travel to there.

Before He leave Syr came to him with a lucky chain. She offered it to him and asked him not to loose. Bell promised he won't loose and he will come back to eat her dinner .

...

The wargame day

All the gods assemble at the denatus. Apollo was overconfident about their win. Hestia remain silent. All the other gods were exited for the battle. God Hermes uses his power to project the wargame to the entire Orario.

The wargame had started.

It was a morning. There were many soldiers on top of the castle to watch the enemy movement. There were 20 archers inside the was on the room on the top of the tower inside the castle. Daphne was in charge of protecting Hyakinthos 's room. Lissos was in charge of the swordsmen. Cassandra was with the captain.

It's been evening. No sign of enemy at all. Many of the gods felt it boring and went home. Many believed that Bell must be hiding somewhere in fear of getting hurt. People felt it boring and all returned to their work.

Bell's supporter's were really worried about him.

Cassandra saw a wild dream in which her companions got hunted by a ferocious hunter. She tried to warn the captain and the others.

It was getting dark. They tightened the security near the walls. The sun has completely set. It's complete dark outside the castle. The sky was cloudy. The set fire lamps around the castle gate.

It was 10 o clock in the night. It began to rain heavily. There is strong wind and thunder. Many of the Familia members find it difficult to stand in the rain.

Bell put on his jocker mask on. He started running towards the castle. Lucky that no one notices him. Bell reached the wall and started climbing like a lizard. He reached the top.

The rain gradually decreases but sound of lighting can be heard. There were only a few soldiers on the top due to the rain. The stairs down to the ground were found empty too.

He reached the ground. He then decided to walk with head and abdomen down. He hide himself behind a cart which was on his way to the wall of the tower. He waited in the rain for those around the corridor to move.

Luan came from inside and informed the guards that the dinner is served. So they all went for the dinner. Before another group came in for guarding the corridor Bell sneaked near to the wall of the Tower.

He then climbed that wall. He reached the window in the top of the tower. That window was luckily open. He then walked through the corridor. He sensed someone coming , so climbed to the roof of the corridor. It was complete dark so no one could see him.

He then decided to crawl through the roof to reach his destination.

Many of them went to have the dinner.

Lissos, Cassandra and Daphne were inside Hyakinthos 's room. Bell quickly reached the tower. Bell hypnotized the guards IN front of the rooms and make them sleep. Bell then knocked the door.

Hyakinthos never thought that will be Bell. He unknowingly let him in. Bell on entering the room immediately bolted the room. Everyone in the room was surprised to see a masked man coming in an bolting the room.

Everyone in Fight mode .

Hyakinthos " Who are you ? Who let you in?"

Bell pulled out his two swords. Bell " I guess I am the one who you are looking for."

Hyakinthos with a smile" So you decided to surrender yourself"

Bell " Oh my, I think it is bit too early for that. "

Hyakinthos " Alright then let's get the party started."

Lissos were the first to charge towards bell. Bell blocked his attack easily with his words. These two fought for a while. Bell was faster and stronger and as a result Bell won the one on one battle.

Now Hyakinthos and Daphne charged at Bell together. It become hard for Bell. This time Bell got some cuts here and there. Bell didn't gave up. He was able to wound them both with his new technics. Daphne decided to keep some distance from Bell.

Hyakinthos was surprised that he become stronger than before. He began to attack ferociously. But bell has the upper hand. Finally Bell broke Hyakinthos 's sword.

Daphne stepped in to stepped back and began to cast magic. Daphne and Bell fought. Clearly Bell Got the upper hand. Suddenly Bell got hit in his right shoulder with a arrow from Cassandra .

Daphne stepped back. Hyakinthos who had finished chanting casted ' Anos zephyros' on Bell. Bell dodged it. But it was a homing magic. It came back for him. Bell casted firebolt at it. But it really hit him on his right arm and suddenly it blasted.

Bell was thrown back and clashed into the wall. He laid down motionless. They thought that they won. Bell's face was now partially visible because the mask had broken.

Suddenly steam started arising from Bell's wounds. Bell hand moved and he slowly pull out the arrow in his shoulder and throw it to the ground. His wounds started to disappear. Everyone was surprised to see that. Bell struggled and got on his feet. His Black Sword still on his hand. He clinched it hard.

Daphne irritated by this charged at him. Bell was going easy on her all this anymore. Bell swing his sword with his real speed. Daphne got cut all over her body. Even before she could back off Bell send her sword flying . Then he got a clean hit on her chin with his forward kick and knocked her out.

Bell then cut the another incoming arrow and casted three Firebolt at Cassandra.

Hyakinthos attacked him at the same time which he dodged completely. Cassandra could dodge only one Firebolt but got hit by the other 2 and was knocked out. The only enemy was Hyakinthos. Bell put his Sword back on his shoulder.

Hyakinthos charged at him with full Speed. But Bell was faster. He dodged his knife and caught his hand. He landed a solid punch on his ribs. He then broke his hand with his elbow pushing it upwards. Hyakinthos cried in pain. Bell caught him from behind by his neck and Bell bit him on his neck. He sucked out the blood from his body. Hyakinthos was struggling to get out of there. He gradually looses consciousness and fell to the ground. Immediately Hestia Familia was announced as the winners.

The Goddess and all the people have no idea what was going on. None of them could see the fight as it was happening in the dark. Only thing they know that hyakinthos was defeated in the end. The only victor standing there was Bell. None of them could believe it.
