Lina started to announce. "May the contestants in the Inn of Faith's Dart Competition step up to the competition area! From there, you will be given three darts, and a coin toss will decide who will go first. Today's prize is 2000 col and a week of free food!" There were some cheers, and others just shook their heads. Looking about, Umichi wondered why. He caught faintly the word of some whispers, "One of those NPCs will win again. Just watch." Shrugging it off, Umichi didn't care. Stepping into the area, he was up against an NPC named Gilbert. With the flip of a coin, Umichi lost the toss, and Gilbert had decided to go first. Throwing twice in the outer bull, and once in the inner bull, the NPC earned a ton (100 points), all of them shining, "activating" the sword skill [b]<>[/b] Umichi stepped up to the throwing area, holding his darts in one hand. Deciding to use [b]<>[/b] as well, to not show off, he threw a dart into the triple 20, followed by the inner bull and finally just outside the triple 20, hitting the triple 5, earning him a ton 25. With that he won his first round. The other two NPCs had faced off and finished quickly, the other players took their time, not activating the sword skill, getting mostly inner bulls. Without the system assist, the scores were multiplied by 1.5. Earning about 2 tons each, which is normally impossible. With that, there was three players and one NPC left. Without much of a break, Lina announced once more, "The first round winners are, Umichi, Thompson, Jessica and Ryuu No Kage. The pairs will be Umichi vs Jessica and Thompson vs Ryuu. Let's move on to round two!" Jessica was confident, as she saw Umichi's performance and believed she would get an easy win. Once again, she was to go first, and she got a three inner bulls, without the system assist, earning 2 tons 25. Holding all three darts at once, Umichi used the system assist again, utilizing a [b]<>[/b], hitting three triple 20s. Almost in shock, Jessica could not believe it. Throwing two at once, multiplied the score by 1.2, while all three multiplied the score by 1.5. With that, he earned 2 tons 70. The spectators were cheering. "Maybe he can win! The NPC won't beat that." Turning to the other match, Ryuu No Kage and Thompson had just finished as well. Thompson won with 2 tons 55. Ryuu No Kage was angry, starting to swear. Some spectators helped him out, telling him it was okay, it can't be helped. Finally the finals. "We have the finals coming up after a 15 minute break. We will add a special rule, all three rounds can be played at once. Good luck!" Stepping out of the area, Umichi sat back down with Suki. "Phew. They are pretty tough." he smiled. "Want to eat something after the tournament?" he asked her, taking a sip of some water on the table.
