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
“I don’t know from where Dragunov pulled out his sword, but at least now we see that he is not only skilled in martial arts, but also in swordsmanship!” Claire said.“They are moving all over the arena and we can even see cuts on the floor where the shock of their clash hit. We had to activate the [Temporal Time Slow] inside the barrier just for everyone to see. But they are still almost inconceivable.”“That goes to show just how fast they are moving. Look now! Dragunov has called upon his shield again!” Claire excitedly said while pointing at Matthew.“He’s fighting with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. That requires an entirely different style of fighting!”“He switched weapons again! He has two swords now. Sakura is getting pushed back!”“Sakura is using her red tentacles as extra weapons to attack Dragunov! However, Dragunov responds to it by blasting them with red energy orbs. Dragunov currently has the upperhand. The fight is going to be tight!”The other particip
The results of the first stage were in. Five fighters will advance to the next stage. Since there will be an odd fighter, one of them will automatically be advanced to a stage further.“After discussing with the referees, we’ve decided to choose Matthew Dragunov as this person. We hope that everyone can agree even if you don’t like it because this decision is final.” Nile announced.“Makes sense to me.”“Yeah, I think he’ll get there anyway.”“I don’t like him, but whatever.”“He definitely deserves it!”From the murmurs of the crowd, it seems that they were accepting of that decision.“Thank you for your cooperation. Now, I will announce the next two matches. First up is Rain Sky versus Ryuka Harini. And in the second match, Midnight versus Ajax.” Claire read from a piece of paper in her hand.Upon hearing this announcement, Matthew and Loki looked at each other.“The victors of this round will then be put together with Dragunov in a three man battle royal. Without further ado, let’s
I was born into a poor family. I had an older brother, Ajax. He was an outgoing and naughty guy. We used to play together and we had fun despite our family's situation.Dad worked as a construction worker and mom was a housewife. Dad's salary was barely enough to take care of us. Then, he got into an accident during one of the company's projects and died. Mom had to work at a night bar to support us.As days went by, mom got depressed and drunk when she got home. Because of that, she would beat my brother and I until she eventually fell asleep. When she wakes up and finds out what she did, she becomes even more sad.I was only eight years old at the time, and Ajax was thirteen. Ajax decided to look for a job as well to help support the family. I joined him too.We cleaned shoes on the streets, delivered newspapers, and helped anyone that was willing to pay for it. We never begged. Ajax said that it's inefficient and unseemly. "If we're able to work, we should. It guarantees pay and be
