Everyone was in awe. Midnight acted very masculine as he walked on the platform. It was the complete opposite of his soft and feminine movements he usually showed.

When he got in the bigger circle, Midnight smirked at the crowd that made the girls swoon. They were now cheering for him and even the guys were rooting for him.

"Only Midnight can rock both look," Zia said. "This is just wonderful. Midnight can, and will always impress us."

"But look at this," Irv said. "Now we have another crowd favorite, Jake Smaragdine."

Jake Smaragdine was a blonde man with the same height as Lance. His body was lean and muscled compared to Midnight's slim and slender body. He had blonde wavy hair that trailed off down to his shoulders, smooth and silky that one move from him would make it bounce.

He wore a light blue suit with pastel colored flowers laced on different parts of the outfit. He had a right shoulder pad with small chains that connected to a cape behind him. His pants were the same shade of blue but with a metal boots with a metal strap on his knees.

"Jake Smaragdine from Cosmic Arch Guild is currently working as an ambassador for the Adventurer Weekly," Zia said. "He is working to be painted and for his painting to be sold. The the earnings for his painting will reportedly go to his chosen charity."

When Jake arrived at the bigger platform, he raised his hand and conjured a rose. He bowed and threw the rose at the crowd, the flower multiplying a hundred times that reached the awaiting crowd.

The next Champion was from the Circus Carnival Guild. A clown that wore a tight shiny shirt and baggy pants. The crowd was silent for a moment, seeing the clown walk towards the bigger circle.

"Lupin Nandrill is a former trapeze performer at a famous circus," Irv introduced. "He was discovered by Jester and he had been living inside the guild for all these years. Ever since then he had been–"

Lupin raised his hands and slammed them back down. His tight shirt was ripped open, showing off his large muscled body. This made the girls scream even more, the clown's hardened abs trailing with sweat was all it needed for them to scream their lungs out.

"And now we have our surprise," Zia chuckled. "I can't say I'm not enjoying this, Irv, because I am enjoying this."

Lupin returned to his station and waited for all the other Champions to finish. The first stage was over and three female Champions were eliminated.

"The points we have here in these jars are mostly for the three men," Irv noted. "All these women in the crowd knows what they want and they are doing everything they can for what they want."

[ Second Stage: Casual ]

"And now for the casual look," Irv said. "Let's get this party started!"

The round continued until there were only four Champions remaining. It was the final stage and the last three Champions to be eliminated will come from this stage of the round.

[ Third Stage: Hot and Sexy ]

The last one brought the crowd into a complete thrill of screams. The remaining Champions were all male, the females being eliminated earlier in the round.

Hot and sexy meant that the Champions would show off how fit their bodies were. The audience had expected for them to wear as thin or as little clothing as possible for them to be voted on.

"This is a problem," Minos sighed. "Midnight will be thrown off by this round."

"Why?" Elliot asked.

"Because he has scars," Minos replied. "He can never overcome his–"

Minos was cut off when Midnight covered himself with thr darkness and let it flow out of his body. When the black substance left him, his body was shown to the crowd.

Everyone was silent. A slim but toned figure of a man with small waist and scars littered across his body like it was a canvas. Midnight danced like he was on a stage as the black liquid formed his black pants and metal boots from the first stage of the round.

"Is that really his body?"

"It's full of scars, why do you think that is?"

"What has happened to him."

…

Midnight stared into the void as he listened to the whispers of the crowd. Lupin's platform was the first to light up so he walked into the middle circle and showed off his large and muscular body.

The audience showed their utmost support for their candidates, but the cheer was nothing like the earlier stages.

"This is bad," Connor gulped. "What if Midnight can't handle the criticism?"

"You think he can't?" Aquarius smirked and chuckled. "He's a bit high, so he should be okay?"

"What do you mean?" Elliot turned to him. "Did you make him take something?"

Aquarius smirked and raised a water container, he tapped his finger on the mouth of the container and made the water inside slowly come out, "Water to beer. Beer to confidence. Midnight's got this, I'm sure of it."

The entire team gasped, realizing that Midnight was drunk. They could never imagine him go out of his dress, even for a competition. That was the reason why he could do these things so easily.

"He said he wanted to act masculine, so I gave him a bit of a boost," Aquarius chuckled. "Now, let's watch our always womanly acting friend act manly for once."

The fourth Champion was up next and then Jake did his walk. There was like a short pause before the platform lit up for Midnight. When it did, the crowd was silent for a mere moment.

He got to the large circle and flipped his hair, showing off his scars and black liquid coming from his eyes down to his body and into the floor.

This made the crowd gasp and erupt in cheers and hollers. Midnight had the look of hot and sexy as he let his black tears fall, rubbing it all over his body that made the girls even more wilder.

"Midnight! We cheer for Midnight!"

"We love you Midnight!"

"Marry me, please!"

…

The jar for Midnight's cheers was filled not long after his performance. The points kept pouring inside that the jar exploded by how much points it had.

"I-I think we already have our winner," Irv said with a stutter.

Right after he said that, a thud sounded from the platform. Midnight fell unconscious back in his station.

Aquarius seethed, "And the alcohol has got to him."
