Out of Respect

"What's the matter with you!?" Tatsumi asked Leone.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" She asked confused.

Tatsumi looked shocked as Leone scratched her head trying to figure out what he was talking about. When it seemed like she didn't get the idea, Tatsumi sighed and headed over to the flagpole with their dorm's flag attached to it.

"You ready Tatsumi?" Braht asked.

"If my life wasn't part of a gamble I would be." Tatsumi skulked.

"Hey cheer up, we still don't know how this will turn out." Braht winked.

"If you say so." Tatsumi groaned.

"Tatsumi, before we begin put this on." Akame said handing him a metal bracelet.

"What's this?"

"It's a sensor that will be able to tell when you're finished." Akame replied. "Once you've run out of energy and can't move anymore the sensor will go off and the judges can determine who is still active."

"Why can't the judges be down here?"

"Because on top of that large cliff is a bird's eye view." Akame pointed behind him. "Once the event starts they will be able to watch the entire fight."

"Who are the judges exactly?" Tatsumi to afraid to ask.

"The principal and vice-principal." Braht said.

"I also heard that our fearless counselor will be a judge as well this year." Chelsea added, spitting out her lollipop and opening a new one.

"Just remember to hold back fighting against teigu users. You did improve in your training but it won't be enough to win against one of them." Akame warned him.

"Alright." Tatsumi making a fist. "Let's do this!"

"Is everything set?" Honest asked as he crammed a large steak into his mouth.

"Of course." Budo said sitting beside Makoto.

"Welm them yourm majesty," Honest said with meat in his mouth, "startm thm games."

"Attention all dorms!" Makoto shouted. "I welcome you to the 1022nd Spring Break Brawl!"

"Exactly how long has this tournament been around again?" Tatsumi asked Akame.

"Um...a couple of years." Akame attempted to laugh off.

"Today we are proud to have you brave souls pit against one another! So we're clear the rules are simple: The last man standing wins!" Makoto yelled.

The crowd in the stands let out a loud cheer with several whistles and claps echoing throughout the area.

"Also we now have a new objective for you guys! The dorm to hold the dorm member Tatsumi will be granted one wish each member and a large bag of money!"

"What?!" Tatsumi and Akame shouted.

"What?!" Leone and Rabac were stunned.

"That bastard gets to have pretty women come after him." Rabac angrily clenched his fist.

"There goes my chance of getting a life time of boozes." Leone cried.

"It seems word of your Leone's and Esdese's bet reached the judges." Braht said, gearing up for the match.
