21 A Demon's idea (2)

--Yarusen Kingdom Prince's POV--Nagar--Day of the tournament--

============================================================

My birthday finally arrived.

I was excited at the fact that the tournament that I always liked will happen again.

Sadly, the heroes won't fight because the rules are prohibiting them since they're way too strong.

At this hour, there's still people signing in for the tournament, since there's way more public than last year, we augmented the number of participants to 200.

Also, my father told me that the two princesses of the Rayshald neighboring Kingdom will be watching because they needed to 'destress', I know that both are around my age as they are also beautiful, I'll have to greet them.

My sister is also coming since she has nothing to do.

I put on my Royal's clothes and immediatly went to eat breakfast in the dinner room of the castle.

"Ah, Yaren, you're there." My father greeted me while my sister was already eating.

"So, father ? How many are at the tournament ?" I hastily asked.

"The 200 places are already occupied, a lot of people came from other places just to participate in it or watch it."

With my father and sister, we all went to the place.

I could already see the participants warming up as the three of us saw the two princesses of the Rayshald Kingdom already in the Royal seats.

"Good morning girls, it's a pleasure to see you here." My father says.

My father knows Rayshald's king since they are two good friends, he also knows the two princesses as they often come here, especially Iris the second one.

"Good morning princesses, I am the first prince, Yaren Sen Yarusen." I greeted them gently.

I never actually had to meet them, I was often at the academy when they came or I was solving little problems. My sister however, already befriended Iris.

My sister and I are quite alike, while I have dark blue hair, she has light blue one and we have almost the same behavior. We could almost be mistaken for twins.

At last, the tournament begun.

As the horn sounded, the participants all left the training grounds inside the stadium and got outside.

"Th-That's..."

"It seems to be the man named Reyn and his brother... What are they doing here ?"

When everyone came, the two princesses froze at two of them.

Some nobles sometimes fight in the tournament but only rarely since the reward is not that important for them, but why is there two guys with noble's clothes that I don't know ? Do they not know of the reward ? Do they care about it ?

Furthermore, it seems the two of them know the princesses.

"Do you know them ?" My sister asked.

"Well, we only saw them once in Rayshald while we were holding the ball, I didn't think they will also be here."

"If they're here, we already know who's gonna win, there's no suspense !"

While the first princess was still calm, Iris seemed to have a light glowing in her eyes.

How could she know the victor already ?

When the second horn sounded, the tournament officially started.

As soon as it begun, everyone rushed at each other, magic was flying everywhere.

The two Archmages of the Kingdom have built a barrier to prevent magic to go at the seats, the spells will all stop before and the ones too strong to stop will enter portals put by the Archmages.

No one was fighting with the two men as they talked with each other.

And they finally took their stance. I'll finally see what they're capa-...

What are they doing ?

They both lied down and started to do what looked like... An arm wrestle ?

"Ara, they're doing this in this situation ?"

"They're both crazy..."

As the princesses expressed themselves, for a reason I didn't know, all participants near the two were bashed away violently.

Every time they were putting strength in the arm wrestle, shockwaves started to come out as if they had the strength of a dragon itself.

And to top it off, they both put magic in it.

Lava started to form a circle around them and gusts of wind started to form.

"What is even happening anymore ? No one can even go near them just because of an arm wrestle !"

"I knew it ! I told you I knew the victor !"

"That's not possibly human..."

As different reactions were said even among the spectators, the black one had the strength to win and slammed his opponent's arm on the ground leaving shockwaves among all the stadium.

All participants having no magic shields or strong grips were all blasted away against the walls of the place. Only 60 of them remained already.

The black one then made a stone table and chairs.

They sat down together and started... a game of what is called 'rock paper cissors' in some kingdoms.

They were both smiling widely as they didn't even care about the damages around them.

They were playing while also fighting...

Every time one would win with rocks the winner created little balls of rocks to shoot against the others.

Every time one would win with paper, the winner would create powerful shockwave across all the area.

And every time they played scissors, the winner would cast fire or wind magic to attack the others.

Not even one person wanted to go near them anymore.

They're luckily not killing anyone, they're aiming for legs or arms, so no one dies.

"They control all the Royal elements as I can see. They're terrifying too."

Well, terrifying is not the right word sister... I'd say 'crazy' like Iris already said.

After a short moment, the white man apparently won the game with rock and cast a huge number of rock balls and shot them.

A short while after the beginning, 4 persons were standing.

The two crazy men who had nearly none wounds, an army's general and an orichalcum adventurer.
