D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad Chapter 112: And the Winner Is?!

Chapter 112: And the Winner Is?!

"This final round will be a bit different. Similar to the third round, anyone can jump in and answer for any question. Except, each question will be worth a progressively higher amount of points starting at 3. The catch is though, if you attempt an answer, succeed or fail, you are not allowed to make a guess for the following question. If there is only one person in a round, they get two chances to guess the correct answer. If there is a round nobody would be in, everyone gets a chance to guess again

"As the points get higher, the questions will also be getting harder, so waiting around might be correct, or it could let the win get snatched away from you. Also, unlike the previous round where you could interrupt , the full question needs to be said before you can press the buzzer. Pressing it too early will disable it for 1 second. Finally, the first person to reach 30 points wins, everything, this includes points from all previous rounds"

"Just to bring everyone up to speed though, Skye is on 18 points, Ryo is on 22 points, Jim is on 9 points and Kress is on 12" said Thy to which everyone else nodded along in understanding. "To be honest, not sure why you guys needed that reminder considering the scores are behind your head at a truly massive size but anyway, let's get onto the first question. Na every mber of your own team"

Everyone was a bit shocked at the quick transition into question but even then, Kress managed to hit the button just as Thy finished speaking, much faster than Skye and Ryo who trailed behind slightly with Jim last.

"Green, Gareth, Nixilei… and uh Kat" said Kress

"I'm afraid that's wrong, next, Skye" said Thy

"Wait what! How was I wrong" said Kress. Thy just waved their hands and a bunch of clothe wrapped around Kress" mouth

"Skye, continue" said Thy as Kress struggle to pull away the cloth

"Dusk, Clive, Eva, Kutruph and Skye" said Skye

"Correct" said Thy who dismissed the cloth around Kress mouth who seethed at the realisation of who he'd missed in the team. "Oh, and let clarify, just pushing the button won't eliminate you from guessing in the following round, it's only if you give an answer

"Anyway, the next question is. During the maze, the second event, what was the final room to be found and explored by any explorer, and who was it that discovered it" said Thy

Ryo and Skye shrugged their shoulders and watched Jim and Kress as they both glared at each other with hands over the buttons. Jim made to press his button slamming it down, but Kress quickly responded by speeding past and beating him to the punch, only to look over and see Jim completely retract his hand instead of pressing the button.

Thy nodded in Kress' direction as Kress clicked his teeth in annoyance "Was is the locked room that Green found?"

"That is wrong I'm afraid" said Thy. "Jim, would you like to attempt an answer"

"No thanks, I'm good" said Jim

"Ok, that ans this round is over, and nobody gets the 4 points. The correct answer was the Hall of Judges, as found by Green" said Thy

"Wait, but she went to that locked room afterwards" said Kress angrily

"Yes, but she explored that room before the hall, thus it isn't the last room found and explored" said Thy "The next question, worth 5 points is, please na every obstacle from the obstacle course event"

Skye slamd the buzzer down as soon as Thy started to say event, making her much faster than the others. Ryo held back, and only after Jim locked in as well did Ryo do the sa.

"Skye" said Thy

"So, first was the platforms you had to jump across, then ca the rope ladder wall, after that was those hanging vines, followed by um I'm not sure exactly what they are called, but you split everyone up into different rooms and let walls with their figures in different poses rush at them… except no one did that properly anyway, Clive and John busted through it, Grace stood sideways and let most of them pass her that way and Green jumped through them all. Finally, there was that forest of blades, and I'm not sure if that wall of blades at the end that you needed to open counts as an extra obstacle, but I'll say that as well"

"You are correct Skye, and with that you are our first contestant to be within the winning distance, with 26 points. Any question you get correct from now on is your victory" said Thy "But alas, this next question worth 6 points is not one you can compete for"

*Huh, so what's Ryo suppose to do then. She has 22 points so regardless of if she gets the 6 points or not she needs to win the 8 point one. Is it better to try and do both, or does she need to participate in the 7th one just in case? But then she still needs two…*

"So, for our next question, drumroll please" said Thy as they made a copy just for the drumroll "During the orb event, there was sothing carved into the walls. What was it and if there were multiple things, what were they each"

Ryo slamd the button down, long before anyone else and started to answer before Jim and Kress even got close to the button "The walls all had each competitor and how they dealt with each trail you offered. They continued until the final round which never got their own carving, and the round involving illusions had the busted walls in place" said Ryo slowly as if already regretting her answers

"Correct" said Thy "Now Ryo join the one more to win club, but alas once again, you are barred from this round so it's up to Skye to see if she can take ho the crown"

"To potentially win it all!" yelled Thy bringing down a microphone from seemingly nowhere "What was one of my two recomndations I made to Gareth when I recomnded food for him to order during the third round of the tournant, the orb" said Thy

Skye quickly went to press the button, but instead it was Jim who got their first. His hand flashing towards the button so fast that Kat couldn't even provide her eyes demonic energy in ti to watch it fall.

Before Thy even started speaking Jim answered "Canyon Peppered, Vexbrute Steak, that has been tenderized to perfection, and the second thing was Bocriogella Salad mixed with Sugio Vumice, and topped with Southern Island Galangal"

"Ah, I only need one thing" said Thy

"Did I stutter?" asked Jim raising one eyebrow to look at Thy.

"Ahhhh" said Thy drawing the word out before splitting in two and pretending to have a conversation with themselves. "I guess that's a pass? I an I only asked for one, but I guess I never punished extra information before

"So, this next round is worth 8. Skye and Ryo are up for the win, but Jim can't participate in this round, so it's all up to Kress to prevent either from winning. Can he possibly do it? Or is he dood to lose?

"Ok, for the win, for the glory, for the title of first ever Quiz champion, YES that's right nobody has ever done a quiz before" yelled Thy into his microphone. Kress got ready on the buzzer. It didn't matter what the question was or if he knew it, he just had to be the first to press the buzzer. Waves of mana rolled of Kress as he pushed all he could into his right arm and readied it above the buzzer waiting for the end of the question.

Thy pulled out a large set of scales, which made a thud as he dropped them onto the ground "If I place a kilogram of iron ore on one side and a kilogram of leaves on the other side, what's the heaviest?"

Kress slamd his hand into the button and answered without thinking "Iron"

"Oh, I'm afraid that's wrong Kress" said Thy as Ryo and Skye both pushed their buzzers with Ryo just edging Skye out.

"Ryo, for the win? What is the heaviest?" asked Thy

"They both weigh the sa" said Ryo

Thy took in a deep breath, then let it all out. "That is…" said Thy "Still wrong"

"Wait what" said Ryo and Kress at the sa ti

"Skye, take it away" said Thy

"The scales, because it has two kilograms of extra weight on it" said Skye

"That's correct, congratulations to Skye for the winner of the final round" said Thy clapping their hands and shooting strears from the scoreboard as a spotlight shone down upon Skye.

"This is bullshit" growled Kress, but a sharp look from Thy quickly shut him up.
