The water mage was on her knee breathing heavily with sweat pouring down her face while the summoner was standing above her,he too was breathing heavily.
Their fight had ended and the summoner had won, barely but he still won, he had a smile on his face. Good fight, he said as he offered her his hand.
Yeah good fight, she replied with a tired smile. They are good seeds Fabro thought. There were a few more fight until each stage had it 25 people left.
People left, the tournament would continue tomorrow. Tomorrow came, since there were 25 contestants one would have to skip this round.
A bowl with numbers was placed on each stage, a person would have to fight somebody whose number has the same position but from the different end as theirs.
1 with 25, 2 with 24 and so on and so forth. The matched would be assigned randomly with numbers. If Allis picked your number, you would have to go on stage with your opponent.
They picked their numbers and the reserves as he called those who would skip this round, they looked happy except for one, the weird names girl was pouting and throwing a fit like a child.
She even tried to give her spot to somebody else but that was against the rules. She stopped when An told her if she doesn't calm down she would make sure she doesn't fight the next round as well.
Besides those eliminated had the right to challenge her since she did not participate and that would not be taken from their two chances.
Missy got the free spot as well. The fight began. They were even more intense this time with the remaining competitor strong. The stages shook with their battle.
Some of them were very simple easy though. People like Melissa and Annie just dominating with Balga still like an immovable mountain of flesh.
Before long all the battles were over. There were a few challenges, some were won while others lost like the guy who challenged Missy.
Fire girl was really pissed nobody challenged her. The next round had 13 contestants so again 1 would have to sit this one out. Fire girl was really eager for this one.
She chose the middle number again meaning she had to sit this one out, she almost strangled the guy next to her to death in her anger.
This girl really like bullying others, he sighed. Why can't she just be as kind and great as I am, Ahhhh that right, none can be as amazingly handsome as I, he thought with a satisfied smile.
What are you smiling at? Asked Miko, have you gone nut? No I was just remembering my own greatness, he replied like it the most natural thing in the world.
Everybody in the booth VIP booth gave him strange looks. Ahhhh the admiration, feels good when it well deserved, he thought. He shifted his attention back to the Arena.
The first fight in stage 2 was between Nass and a fire mage. As a wood mage Nass was at a disadvantage element wise. On 2 Gloom, the gloomy dark mage was facing an assassin.
She had a tiny lean body, she was designed for speed and stealth, it no wonder she made it this far. On 3 it was actually the kunoichi vs a wind mage.
4 had Melissa vs the summoner, that was a fight he was interested in. He had noticed a glaring weakness in the people here, it could be the lack of teaching or simply because they had too much talent to notice.
He wanted to see if somebody at Melissas level with surprise him. The fights began. Nass kept growing vines in stage to block the fire spells coming at her but they would burn right after.
She was in a pinch but was still holding on. Gloom on the other hand released a barrage of dark bolts on the stage. The assassin ducked and dodged.
She would disappear at time but could not get close enough to land a hit in him. The barrage of bolts was denser the closer to him you got.
Eventually she succumbed to the endless attack, it seemed Gloom had a mana regeneration skill, if only he could use appraise on people, he sighed, the only stain on my perfect being.
On stage 3 the kunoichi was running circles around the mage, lightning flickered on her body, she moved so fast she disappeared but suddenly a tornado appeared around the mage.
The kunoichi was forced to retreat. She gathered lightning of her two daggers and her feet and moved to attack, with her left dagger she ripped the tornado apart and was about to attack with her right when 4 swords made of wind attacked her at tremendous speed.
She jumped back and did a backflip. Her and the mage looked at each other standing 50 metres apart. She sighed and put her two kunais behind her and on her hands were shuriken.
She waved her hand and threw four shuriken, they were coated in lightning and moving at supersonic speed. The mage raised a wind wall.
The shuriken collided with the wall and continued spinning, the friction between then caused sparks, the temperature on stage rose.The barrier was broken through and the mage watched as the shuriken came at him.
Melissa was standing opposite of her opponent, neither of them had moved or casted any spells and 5 seconds had already passed.
A water mage again, I know you strong lady Melissa but I've already dealt with a water mage, I already know how to deal with the only solution you have against my snake.
The only solution? She asked as she giggled, you are quite an arrogant boy aren't you? You not much older than I am lady Melissa and please give up, u don't want to hurt you and you still have a chance of challenging somebody else.
Hurt me? You really amusing, then boy, let me show the foolishness of arrogance.
