Four weeks have passed and the day finally arrived. The seats inside the stadium were crowded with audiences of all races. They were actively chatting amongst themselves as they waited for the event to start. On the four screens above the arena was a timer which showed the tournament’s banner.The fighters listed on today’s battles were preparing themselves by stretching and checking their equipment. They examined the sharpness of their blades, the condition of their armours, and steeled their minds.Some others were just chatting with the other fighters and friends, trying to create good sportsmanship. They knew who and when they were fighting, so they met their opponents beforehand either to simply strike conversation or to analyse who they were going to fight. The rest of them simply stayed quiet and minded their own business.Yuki wasn’t listed in today’s schedule of fighters, so she sat in the audience seat with Cecilia. Bran was unreachable and he had left to work a long time ag
For the next week of the tournament, everything was smooth sailing for both Matthew and Yuki. They were able to defeat their opponents with little effort. The crowd was excited for Yuki’s matches but were not as enthusiastic for Matthew’s because of how dull and quickly he finishes. Most of the fights Matthew would not even make him move from his spot and some of his opponents even forfeited.Matthew was not really a fan favourite because of how boring his fights were. There were also a minority of people who could actually see, or feel, Matthew’s battle prowess and were a fan of such strength. Matthew tried to not care about this and enjoyed the tournament in his own way.Yuki, on the other hand, was quite famous especially among the men. Her fights were more exhilarating and action packed. Yuki even has her own fan club that she was not aware of.Another notable fighter was an old man who dresses in rags. Despite his appearance, he was a master martial artist who could stop Gus’s ha
It was the ninth day of the tournament. It was one of the many days of the tournament that many people were waiting for. The day where the higher tier fighters were finally listed in the matches. There had been several matches before, but now was the time when the event really went up a notch.Fighters from the veteran ranks of the army, the high class dangerous convicts, and Hunters of Champion and above finally join the fray. Out of the 140 of the lower tier fighters, only 8 were qualified to this round.Their names were; Kim Yu-Jun, Ragged Old Man, Midnight, Kay Lim, Rajesh Kumar, Maple B. Marry, Osman Mehmed, and Matthew Dragunov. They had proven to be the top fighters of the lower ranks and had a fanbase (except for Matthew) of their own. They had earned this opportunity to stand on equal footing as the other 62 fighters.“The first eight matches will be between the lower rank fighter and a higher rank fighter. One for each of the fighters that made it this far. We will see wheth
After his match, Matthew went to speak with Lawrence who was injured by Matthew’s attack. He went to the other side of the stadium and looked around for a bit before he found Lawrence, who was surrounded by his servants. He seemed fine though. Maybe he was already healed.“Hey! Lawrence!” Matthew wasn’t sure how to address him so he just called by his first name.His two servants that were by him immediately took defensive positions. They didn’t have weapons but they were definitely ready to fight, until Lawrence recognised Matthew and gestured for them to stand down.“Lord Dragunov, were you looking for me?” Lawrence asked.“Yeah. I just wanted to see if you were doing fine after that, but I can see that you’ve recovered already.”“Ah, I have my attendants after all. They are quite skilled in many aspects.”“That’s amazing. I too have reliable helpers. They’re not here though.”“Is that so? I would love to meet them. However, you are even more amazing, milord. There are few that can
It was the tenth day of the tournament already and it was also the last day before the semi finals took place. Two fighters from each of the original arenas were to be relocated to the Cyss International Colosseum. On this day as well, the assistant president of the Hunter’s Association, Kaito Mato, was present.Kaito actually came to investigate something. He came to meet Sara Whitegate, one of the Coloured Hunters, who had a fight scheduled today against a certain person who was the talk of the tournament, Midnight.Kaito arrived at a special room in a nearby inn reserved by Sara, away from the stadium. There were two guards by the door clad in silver armour. After identifying him, the guards opened the door for Kaito. Sara was already visible from the door. The door closed once he was inside.“I thought I asked for Mr. Frost?” Sara questioned Kaito.The man with neatly combed black hair put one hand on his belly and bowed. “Sorry, but the president is quite busy with something else
"You've had your fun. Now it's my turn. [Limit Release]"As those words came out of his mouth, Midnight's aura suddenly increased exponentially. Sara had thought that he was a magic user and this was indeed surprising to everyone. Even the audience could feel the pressure from how intense Midnight's presence was.Sara remained calm but her mind was confused. (What happened? How did he suddenly get so strong? Either way, I don't know what he can do now. I need to be cautious.) Sara focused on the ensuing battle.Her eyes watched every fidget that Midnight did. She could see it. His body was shaking possibly from the immense power he was using right now.“[Angel’s Armour]” Sara summoned her special armour. Pieces of metallic covered her body leaving no exposed area. “[Lightning Flash]!”Along with her words, Sara was accelerating forward at lightning speed. Her sword already midway in its motion and within a mere fraction of a second, she cut Midnight several times across his chest. How
The tenth day of the tournament was done and the results were in. Two fighters from each arena will be relocated to the Cyss International Colosseum. The names of such fighters were:Ajax Noz and Fillian Murad, from Cyss International Colosseum.Richard Martin and Rain Sky, from King Clementine’s Stadium.Akame Sakura and Ryuka Harini, from Leonard Academy’s Stadium.Isaac Latte and Afro Joss, from Queen Cleoparta’s Arena.And also;Midnight and Matthew Dragunov, from Omni Stadium.10 fighters, 9 matches, and 1 champion will be decided on the same day. It was unthinkable that anyone would miss it especially when most of the famous Coloured Hunters were there as well. The outcome was actually quite obvious, however, Sara's loss was quite unexpected.Three days were given for the participants to travel to Cyss, to a hotel that was sponsored by the Cyss empirical family. Each participant had their own rooms and were also provided with all the hotel's facilities. In the meantime, the aren
“Ladies and gentlemen! People of all races! Welcome to the final day of the World Champion Tournament!”The hosts announced along with a barrage of confetti popping in the air. It was the day that everyone was surely excited for and the host had to be all the more hyped for it.“Hello everyone! My name is Claire!” Said the white rabbit woman.“And I am Nile!” Said the blue haired elf.“And we will be your hosts for today’s event!” They said together.The crowd erupted with incomprehensible words, but it was obvious that they were excited.“Wow! Everyone sure is fired up today! Why is that I wonder?” Claire turned to Nile.“Isn’t it obvious? It is the last day of the tournament. We said that, didn't we?”“But I don’t remember the previous days being this hype though?”“That’s because today, unlike the other days, the battles will be more exciting! More thrilling! And unlike previous years, we finally get to see some of the most iconic figures in the world pitted against each other.”“S
