True King's Ecstasy

"That idiot! What's she doing again?" Elliah asked gaining a frown from Ellen, who had stars in her eyes by how impressed she was.

"This is why you're no good! Can't you see, she's protecting that female officer, that adventurer tried to molest her, and our big sister is the one who stopped it," Ellen said while giving a side eyes.

"Kyla! Are you okay? Any harm?" Amos quickly ran in her direction with a worried face.

"I'm fine, leader, but I'm sorry for making a mess again," Kyla answered his concerns and wiped her hand with a dirty piece of clothing.

"It's fine, you're not wrong,"

While Amos and Kyla were talking with each other, they saw the lady officer who got saved by Kyla slowly approaching her with a blush.

"Mister, thank you so much," Her legs were squirming like she had something to say, but Amos barely held his laughter seeing Kyla's face.

She had her mouth wide open.

'Ahhh! Why does this always happen? Why do people think I'm a man, just because of my muscles'

Kyla thought as she caressed her face with an awkward look.

"Mister, if you have time, I would like to thank you by inviting you for a dinner, our king opened a lot of new restaurants that have a lot of tasty food," The girl said her face blushing.

She felt a little tingle in her heart when Kyla saved her, so she approached Kyla slowly hoping that she would accept her request without knowing that she was a woman.

"You know? I'm not a man, look," Kyla pointed at her breast, which caused the officer lady to open her eyes wide and her jaw almost fell off.

"Boobs!" Surprised by this development, she almost shouted aloud.

"So, I'm sorry, but if you want I can still take your offer," Kyla knew things will be different now, but the officer lady doesn't back off.

"I'm sorry, I mistook you, but I really want to get to know you, you saved me and I want to treat you," Surprisingly, the officer lady doesn't back up which caused Kyla to smile a bit.

But inside she was feeling depressed.

'When am I going to find a man like this? I can see this girl is interested in me, but I'm not into girls'

Kyla remembered her lifelong struggle. She loved developing her body and before she knew it, she had a buffed body, but it didn't look ugly or super buffed.

She was just moderately buffed, but every man she see just act like they are completely interested in her.

*Sigh

"Whatever! We will come to meet you, thanks for the invitation," Kyla said and said her farewell to the office lady, and tried to leave but suddenly a group of adventurers confronted her as they stood in front of her.

"Yo! Forgot about us?" The leader-looking figure of the opposite group asked in a none aggressive but playful tone.

"Where's Amos? Ask him to come,"

"What business do you have with him? And where had your team been all this time?" While Kyla questioned them, she suddenly felt someone touching her shoulder and it was none other than Amos, the group leader of Kyla's team.

Amos stepped into the dimly lit room where the members of the adventuring party were gathered and talking with Kyla. The air was thick with tension, and Kyla could feel her heart racing in her chest.

It was almost like two rivals met each other after a long time. She knew about the rivalry between these two people since she knew Amos for a long time.

"Amos, you have no reason to entertain them, especially with a lame name like the blazing sun," Kyla said, her voice steady despite her nerves.

"We were wondering where you've all been for the last couple of months without any trace or anything, we thought you just died without even your group bodies discovered,"

The members of the Blazing Sun party looked at each other hearing Kyla's words for a moment before one of them spoke up.

"We've been training," The leader of the blazing sun group said. "Preparing for the battle that is to come."

Kyla and Amos exchanged a look. "What battle?" Amos asked.

"The battle between us and the strongest," the Blazing Sun member replied.

"It's been brewing for years, and now it's finally coming to a head."

Kyla frowned. "But why are you waiting to fight each other? Who is this strongest?"

"It's a test," the Blazing Sun member said. "We will see whether we really can get strong or he's just abnormal."

Amos shook his head.

"That's not how it should be. We should be working together, not fighting each other. So tell me who's this strongest you're talking about?"

The Blazing Sun members looked at him like he was crazy.

"That's not how it works," one of them said.

"We need to know who our strongest fighters are so we can put them at the front lines and it should be us, not you"

"E are the ones who got humiliated by him, or should be us, one of you can do that,"

Kyla could sense that something was off about the situation, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"There's something strange going on here," she said whispering to Amos, ehoblookednjust as disturbed by their behaviour.

The Blazing Sun members just laughed.

"You don't understand," one of them said. "But you will soon enough. When the battle begins, you'll see what we mean."

"You will see how we best the strongest and stand proudly,"

Kyla and Amos exchanged another look, both of them feeling uneasy. They knew that something was brewing beneath the surface, something that could spell disaster for them all. But for now, they would have to bide their time and wait for the battle to begin.

And with that, the deadlines for registration ended with many different people, and some beastkin also participating in this tournament.
