Volume 7 Fate and Kof Chapter 050 Competition List
King seemed to understand something when he heard this. "So, you made such a scene just now just to provoke the two of them, right?"
Emiya nodded and said, "That's right. I did this to make Andy realize that he is favored, but he can't be complacent. On the other hand, it can stimulate Mai again and make her look at the relationship between herself and Andy rationally. Should she continue or give up ? At least she can avoid that bad future."
King smiled and said, "You really put a lot of thought into this dance."
Emiya smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a deliberate plan, but a way to make up for my mistakes. After all, I am the one who caused this situation, and even now, I am not sure whether that terrible future will come true."
King patted Emiya's shoulder and said, "No, since you care so much about Mai, she will definitely move forward."
Emiya let out a breath, "I hope so."
After this little episode, the backstage returned to calm again.
At the same time, the opening ceremony was finally coming to an end. Next, a host came on stage, opened the door and walked into the backstage, telling everyone to get ready to go on stage.
So everyone stood up at the same time, left the backstage, and walked towards the passage outside to the competition venue.
The host had already arrived at the ring, and after heating up the atmosphere, he cheered loudly: "Now, let us welcome the top fighters from all over the world with the warmest applause, and thank them for presenting us all with wonderful matches."
"The first to appear is the Kusanagi team, which consists of Kyo Kusanagi, Benimaru Nikaido, and Goro Daimon!"
"Next is Team Yagami, which consists of Iori Yagami, Maizo, and Weiss."
"The Hungry Wolf Team is made up of three masters, Terry, Andy, and Dong Zhang."
"The next ones to appear are the masters of Kyokyu-ryu karate. They are the Dragon and Tiger Team consisting of Sakazaki Ryo, Sakazaki Yuri, and Robert."
"Then there is the superpower team consisting of Mr. Zhen Gensai, the master of martial arts, Hokuto, his two apprentices, Kensou Shii, and our most charming and lovely Miss Asamiya Athena."
"The next to appear is the new female fighter team consisting of three beautiful ladies: King, Mai Shiranui, and Kasumi Fujido ."
"Following closely behind is still an all-female team. They are the ones who made it through the preliminaries and entered the official competition with a perfect record. They are a Nen team consisting of Shizuka Hiratsuka, Robin, and Miku Kushida."
"The next team to appear is the Hephaestus team that participated in the preliminaries and entered the official competition with a perfect record. It is composed of Miss Tsubaki, Tomioka Giyuu, and Mei Meishima Yuki."
"The third to last team is Team Loki, which consists of Finn, Livilia, and Ace. Let's wait and see what kind of game this team named after the Nordic evil god will bring us."
In the audience, Loki, who was sitting in the front row, opened his eyes and looked at the host of the ring match with a hint of malice in his eyes.
He actually dared to say that I was the Nordic evil god. Well, I will kill this guy after the game.
"The last two teams are the Liangshanpo team, which consists of Furinji Hayato, Ma Jianxing, and Apache, and the Heroic Spirit team, which consists of Emiya, Hercules, and Cu Chulainn."
"Both members of the Heroic Spirit Team are named after great heroes who are half-human, half-god in mythology. Let us see if these two heroes are worthy of such names."
When Cu Chulainn walked out of the passage and entered the competition venue, he heard the host's voice and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really an interesting experience to be mistaken for a fake."
Emiya said calmly, "After all, this is the year 96. Thousands of years have passed since you were active. No one would believe that Cu Chulainn would live to this day, and no one would have thought that we are from another world."
Cu Chulainn laughed. "That's true, Master. But none of this matters. What matters is who my opponent is in my first match. Please don't let me down."
While observing the huge competition venue, Emiya said nonchalantly: "Maybe it's one of our own."
"Hey, hey, hey, this is such a bummer, Master."
Cu Chulainn could not help but complain. It was not because he looked down on his own people, but because he had already fought with his own people, so he wanted to fight with others even more.
Emiya smiled and ignored him, his eyes already scanning the entire venue.
The huge venue could seat approximately 100,000 people. Although this was just the opening ceremony, it was still packed with audiences, with only a few seats left empty.
The cheers at the scene were overwhelming, continuous and long-lasting.
A huge arena was built in the center of the venue for the competition. Above the arena, four huge screens were hung, facing the audience in the four directions of east, south, west and north, so that the audience could clearly broadcast every move of the arena competition through these four large screens.
In this way, the audience will not miss any exciting moments of the game.
In addition to this, Emiya saw a group of reporters at the venue, as well as cameras set up to simultaneously broadcast the game to thousands of households.
From this we can see that this KOF competition is indeed very grand.
After the participating teams made their collective appearance, the host quickly moved on to the next segment.
The machine helps the team select the right opponent.
However, because there are a total of eleven teams participating in this competition, one team will be given a bye in the initial competition, and no one knows who this lucky person is.
The host stood on the stage, speaking eloquently to stir up the audience's emotions. The names of the eleven teams appeared on the screen above his head, which were shuffled and then rearranged.
The first-time competition team finally showed up.
The Kusanagi team led by Kyo Kusanagi VS the Heroic Spirit team led by Emiya.
Team Yagami where Iori Yagami is located VS Team Ryozanpo where Hayato Furinji is located.
Team Rocky led by Finn VS Team Dragon Tiger led by Ryo Sakazaki.
Team Hephaestus VS the new female fighter team that Mai Shiranui is on.
The psychic team led by Jin Gensai VS the Nen team led by Hiratsuka Shizuka.
The only lucky team that got a bye was the Hungry Wolves team led by Terry, which was something many people did not expect.
In fact, Emiya did not expect that his team would be the first to go on the field, and they would be facing the Kusanagi team represented by Kyo Kusanagi, which is the protagonist team.
But of course Emiya is not afraid. Hercules doesn't care. Only Cu Chulainn is excited. He knows KOF and is very happy to be able to fight against the protagonist Kyo Kusanagi.
After the competition list of the eleven teams appeared, the opening ceremony officially came to an end.
After the host explained the rules of the competition, he announced to the audience that the first game would be held tomorrow morning and hoped that everyone would not miss it.
Then, Athena Asamiya came on stage and sang the last song, and the opening ceremony officially ended.
Shirou also received a notice that he could move freely today, but the competition would start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. If he arrived after the deadline, he would be considered to have forfeited.
The day passed quickly.
At night, when Emiya and his group were eating delicious food in the Shiranui Dojo, they were talking about tomorrow's game.
On the other hand, a certain hotel.
Boom!
With a loud roar, the wall of a room in the hotel exploded, and a figure flew out of the house and landed on the corridor outside.
When the other guests in the hotel heard the explosion, they came out of their houses and were surprised to see Kyo Kusanagi, the contestant of the KOF competition, looking at the hole in the wall of the hotel with a dusty face.
A few seconds later, a red-haired man walked out of the huge hole.
And this person is another contestant in the KOF competition.
Iori Yagami.
"Fight with me, Kyo Kusanagi." Iori Yagami's hands were burning with purple flames, his scarlet hair fluttered without wind, and his pair of murderous eyes were fixed on Kyo Kusanagi.
Kusanagi Kyo frowned. He didn't want to clash with Iori Yagami in this place. "If you want to fight, I'll wait for you at the KOF tournament."
But Iori Yagami refused without hesitation, "No, Kusanagi Kyo, you won't be able to make it through tomorrow, so I can only come to you tonight."
Kusanagi Kyo felt that he was being underestimated and was immediately furious. "Do you think I will lose to that Heroic Spirit Team of unknown origin?"
"That's right." Iori Yagami nodded without hesitation. After Mai Zhuo and Weiss's reminder, he deeply understood the strength of the Heroic Spirit Team.
Especially the half-god, half-human monster called Hercules, who was absolutely terrifying to the extreme.
So, estimating that Kyo Kusanagi would most likely be eliminated tomorrow, Iori Yagami came to the hotel overnight, wanting to compete with Kyo Kusanagi here.
His intuition told him that if he missed this opportunity, the next time he would be able to defeat Kusanagi Kyo would most likely be next year or even the year after.
"Iori Yagami!" Kyo Kusanagi growled. He felt that he was completely looked down upon by Iori Yagami. "You underestimate me too much!"
Iori Yagami remained unmoved, but the blue flames in his hands grew stronger.
"Beijing!"
At this moment, Nikaido Benimaru and Daimon Goro arrived and stood beside Kusanagi Kyo.
"Yagami, what do you want to do?" Nikaidou Benimaru looked at Iori Yagami with a bad expression. He ran his right hand over his hair, and the originally hanging golden hair suddenly counted down one by one.
Goro Daimon slowly raised his hand and assumed an attacking stance.
Iori Yagami laughed grimly, "Do you also want to stop me from fighting him?"
If so, he wouldn't mind defeating these two people first and then looking for Kusanagi Kyo to compete with him.
"Benimaru, Goro, you guys step back, let me do it!"
Since Iori Yagami is so aggressive, Kyo Kusanagi has no intention of backing down. It's just a battle, and since Iori Yagami is willing to fight, he is willing to join in.
