Tournament Arc preparation

Hmm, where do I begin... It's been almost 6 months since I've entered the academy which I've always dreamed of as I child who was in the hospital bedridden.

I've somehow managed to survive the academy life until now and I've joined this weird group of rag tag bunch, it's a club called the Union and the leader is a bit peculiar.

While he isn't as strong as the other members in the group, every last member in the group respects him and while I'm not sure if he knows it or not.

He's got a bit of a fan club run by the Men who respect his Harem creation, before he went unnoticed but the more he started picking up women from all places and putting them in this group.

Like the elfen princess, or the Daughter of the principal. Even the main heroine of the Comic.

It's like he knows about the situations that have happened in the novel and that's why I an Oni named Camie Filou, was helped by him when I was in a pinch ended up asking if I should join his club to which he accepted happily.

But, I might look like an Oni on the outside but In Reality I'm a reincarnated individual who was bedridden at the age of 10 and died at the age of 16.

I fought for my life but in the end I couldn't win it.

But, now I'm in the novel that I loved very much... I've read it until Chapter 300 and always hoped to finish it but sadly I died and couldn't finish it.

But, now I get to experience it with my own two eyes and get to be a part of the winning process which makes me unnecessarily happy.

But, I've a suspecion. A suspecion that the Man Named Ron Kayler is one of my kind a reincarnator.

And so I'll observe him some more before I approach him and ask if he's the same kind as me.

...

*Yawn* I yawhed as I got out of the Bus that dropped me and Noelle near the entrance of the academy.

There stood the talk gates of the academy which looked quite intimidating.

You wouldn't think that these were school gates if you look at them from a distance.

They look like borders of 2 different countries honestly with all the security, weaponry and the defense mechanisms of the academy gate.

As we were getting our paperworks sorted and showing our I'd cards I was fretting over where I should get a cricket kit right now.

There are various sports shops inside the academy that sell good products but I wanted something that could withstand the harsh environment of the pitches.

Something that's made for the final.

People usually avoid this game because of how hard the finals pitch is. It's basically a bowler's paradise and a batter's nightmare.

If you aren't skilled at making your body as reflexive and agile like your eyes you'll eventually get hurt real bad.

It is called a gentlemen's game but here, it's nothing but a barberic game that will seriously end up getting you injured if you don't concentrate properly.

Well, that wouldn't be the case for me since I'm pretty skilled at the game and with the added agility and Sense stats I shouldn't have a problem with playing with D rank Players.

Since you can't use your skills and are only allowed to use raw skills that has no bearing to mana.

Ooh, wait... If I can't use My skills and stats and I'll be put restrictions that'd mean that It'll be a basic cricket match with the highest speed of a bowl being 158Kmph.

But without skills, it's kinda impossible to play those deliveries. But, it would be hard for these ametures with no Experience to even try and play the game.

I don't know what I have in store but I did score 5 Centuries and 7 half centuries in a matter of 18 months.

I should atleast be confident enough to play against these ametures.

"Well, this is my cue... See you later Ron."

"Ooh... Yaa.. see you later Noelle."

Ooh, we'd already gotten to the dormetories, I was too deep in my thoughts that I'd forgotten I was walking to my dorms.

Shit, I have to go back all the way towards the cricket stadium which is quite far away when compared to the Main Gates.

Aah, I have to register since the matches will start the day after tomorrow. Aah, whatever.

Let's go...

And so I headed to the Cricket stadium to apply for the Tournament.

I'd be chosen in a random team of 15. There are a total of 60 vacancies available for the tournament.

And, I'm pretty sure there are still available vacancies.

...

And I was right, there were still 2 vacancies available after I went there and got my name registered. I noticed that there was still 1 more spot available.

Lucky me.

Since the matches start the day after like any other Tournament.

But, tomorrow is the gathering of the players. And since I was a bit exhausted I wanna go back home and sleep the day out so I can be fresh tomorrow.

But, before that I have to buy a cricket Kit for the tournament.

A kit with individual Equipment would probably cost me around 100 Silver Coins. A cricket kit is quite expensive.

But, the compensation for winning the tournament is quite good.

Each player in the group will get 50 Gold coins Each gold coins is a 1000 Silver so you can understand just how well compensated I am.

Winning team will get 50 Gold and 3 Artifacts of choice.

The runners up will get 30 Gold Coins and that's all. The 3rd position and 4th position won't get anything.

They'll get no compensation.

That's about it.

...

And so it was the day of the meet and I was put in a team of 15 people. With 11 playing members and 4 substitutes.

They were a merry bunch.

"It's nice meeting you all... I'm your captain, Pat Vinrou I've played National matches and I look forword to working with y'all. I'm a Middle Order Batsman"

"I'm the vice captain Travis Lamial. I'm a keeper Batsman. Opener batsman."

"I'm Shemar Kailer, I'm a fast bowler. I range from 145-150Kmph."

"I'm Ron Kayler, I'm a Top order Right hand batsman, and can do spin bowling when needed. I look forword to working with you all."

"I'm Gernie Shellow, I'm an Right Arm leg Spinner. It's nice meeting y'all."

"I'm Reverie Norman, I'm an Opener Batsman."

"Joe Rogan here, Wicket keeper Batsman."

"Chella Shellow here, Left arm Medium pace."

"Michael Stapner, Left arm Off Spin."

"Robert Bolow, All rounder."

"Niloy Miller, All rounder."

"Karvin Shephard, Top order Batsman."

"Stephen Shella, Middle order Batsman."

"Revan Root, Middle order batsman."

"Joseph Phillip, Left arm Fast pace upto 148-155 Kmph and can bat at the lower order."

Than after checking everything and everyone's names and roles The captain Virou started speaking as he wrote something on the board.

As he finished writing the stuff in the board he looked at us.

This was what the board contained.

Top order - 3 - 1 Opener

Middle order - 3 - Captain

All rounders - 2 - 1 Spin Nd 1 Seam.

Spin - 2 - Left 1, Right 1

Seam - 3 - Left 1, Right 2

Wkts - 2 - 1 Opener, VC

It contained the number of people and what roles they had.

It's a basic chart of how many pacers, or how many spinners there are with how many left and right handers.

"Today we are going to have a regorous training session and based on the performance of each player their roles and position will be selected."

"I hope y'all do well, well that goes for us both too."

Said the vice captain with a cheerful tone. While one of them looked cheerful and the other one looked extremely serious they both seemed like good people.

We'll only know what kind of people they are once the tournament starts won't we.
