Clang, clang, clang…

In the woods, Jon trained while wearing his armor so that he could adapt to it.

Although the additional weight slowed him down, he still could move quickly.

Huff, huff, huff…

"I need to make sure that I maintain my energy levels."

He wiped off the perspiration on his forehead using the back of his hand.

To ensure he could last till the end of the tournament, he trained his up stamina by running long distances.

The day before the tournament, Jon rested well and ate nutritious food that would provide him with energy.

Since he had trained hard the past three months, he wanted to be in his best shape for the tournament.

Thud, thud, thud…

As he meditated on the boulder next to an empty field, he heard Master Hui's footsteps.

Jon opened his eyes.

"Tomorrow is the tournament," his mentor began. "You have trained hard and well. I wish you all the best."

Jon stood up then bowed, "Thank you, Master Hui."

His mentor took out a metal box with green stars engraved on it.

In the waiting room, he could hear the tournament's emcee entertaining the spectators. "Who will be the winner of the 100 000 cash grand prize?"---"Fighting that chubby guy was such a pain," Raphael cursed as he changed his battle dress. Fortunately, he had brought an extra set.

    "Star Burst!"Green balls of fire surrounded Jon's opponent and burst like fireworks.She loudly laughed in a cynical way, "Your energy attacks will not work on me!"Jon was shocked, "How is that possible?"He continued fending off her close combat attacks using his energy sword. "Maybe my plant-based techniques will work," he decided to try another technique. "Plant Bomb!"Many green leaves appeared directly below the man-hating fighter and tightly wrapped themselves around her. "What is this?" she was unable to move even an inch. Jon made use of the opportunity to stab his personalized sword at his opponent. However, the sword could not injure her. "It is no use," she smirked. "I am resistant to metal." She calmly launched an attack to free herself, "Metal Spikes."The metallic spikes on her clothes enlarged and pierced the leaves surrounding her. The leaves immediately broke into pieces. "Enough playing around," she frowned. "Metal Squash."A gigantic piece of metal appeare

    While Melissa was pondering about her next steps, an elderly cleaner with a backstage pass walked by. "Why did I not pay attention during my imitation classes?" Melissa grumbled to herself. She then sighed, "I wish I put in the effort to learn shapeshifting…"Next, she slumped her shoulders and crossed her arms, "If only knocking out a person and wearing their clothes for disguise is as easy as what the movies make it out to be." After some thought, she became even more jaded, "Or if secretly stalking someone into a room was so simple…"Just then, she came up with a better idea. "I could simply call Jon and ask him to let me in!" she slapped her forehead. Rrr…Jon answered the phone before the first ring ended."Mel, are you outside of the backstage?" He had been anxiously waiting for Melissa."Yes, I do not have a backstage pass so I cannot enter it." Jon nodded with understanding."I cannot fetch you since I need to guard my room…" he started. "I can request the security guard

    "We should go back," Raphael finally said. "We have more important things to do."The gang left in a huff. Melissa did not let her guard down and kept the electric shield up, "They must be up to no good…"She did not believe that they would let the matter rest easily."I should keep an eye of them…" she frowned. "I cannot alert the guards since I am not an official participant and should not be here…"She thought harder, "Can I spy on them from here?"Suddenly, she remembered a spell she had learned during one of her lessons for her specialization."I can make eyes and ears appear in the room!"She tried hard to recall the spell. "I need to make sure the eyes and ears are in a hidden corner," she concentrated. Loudly and clearly, she chanted the spell.At Raphael's waiting room…A pair of ears and big blue eyes appeared on the face of a painting in the room. Melissa tried her best not to blink and listened carefully. "Romeo, take this pouch and mix it in the common water cooler,"
