New Challenge

"Are you ready?" she yawned as it took them forever to bring a new contender.

She stretched her body lazily and then ran a hand in her hair that was full of sweat due to the early competition and heat of the run.

The women who were standing behind her below the stage gasped and squealed at her every action. She was looking like a damn sexy male god that had the charm of a devil in their eyes.

She turned to look at them and then winked making their hearts flutter. They could not help but admire their new knight whose armor was shining more than anyone else.

"Wow, did you see how handsome he is!"

"Yes he looks like a demigod with those actions. I must say he had charms and skills both."

"Did you see, he just winked at me!" The girl squealed as she used her hands as a fan in front of her face which turned red due to sudden heat.

Shaking his head, as this could only be his illusion. How could a man like him who was thin and frail be compared to the man who was known as war god.

"Are you going to take a lifetime!" the girl tilted her head and flared at him once again. He was taking too much time, Ophelia would start to worry soon.

The man knew that if he would dash at her like the previous one, she would use her agility to run away.

He had to tire her and then attack her or let her attack first and use a dagger to sneak attack.

So, he waited patiently, enjoying her frustration and the way she glared at him.

"If you are in a hurry, you should come and attack, why are you shouting at me for that?" tsk! Did he think she was not ready for it?

She chuckled without humor and in the next second her eyes turned cold and she attacked straight at his heart from her dagger.

His eyes widened and he ran to escape but it was still too late. The dagger pierced his right hand and he winced.

"What the hell are you doing?" He glared as he could not believe that she was trying to kill him for a competition when the girl raised a brow nonchalantly as if it was not a big deal.

"Why? Didn't you ask me to attack first? Why are you crying now?" with that she threw another dagger aiming at his chest again.

This time, he bent himself and the dagger flew in the air.

The crowd gasped and ran on the other side when the dagger flew among them and fell on the ground.

"You! You!" he could not believe that she was attacking him when they were not even fighting.

Gritting his teeth, he decided to follow her action and attacked at her forehead but she had already anticipated it.

So, she had not only bent down like him but extended her long legs when he was busy attacking her and kicked on his knees that made him stumble.

But he was not too weak to fall on the ground with this simple kick.

With a smug smile he stared back at her only for his eyes to widen when he noticed that the kick was only a distraction, her main aim was to disarm him so that she could attack his gut this time which was too close to her.

The dagger that flew straight to his abdomen, brought out the blood constantly flowing on the ground and noises started to fill the stadium again.

The man took out the dagger and threw it on the ground while covering the wound from his hands. He was relieved that it did not cut any vital organ but only his flesh.

But could it be a coincidence? He stared at Olivia with confusion. Was he just imagining or had she controlled the power of her hands so that she would injure him but did not give permanent damage.

Could a no name fighter like her be this skilled as only experts could control their pressure when throwing arrows and daggers.

But if that was the case, then who was she?

"I accept defeat." There was no way that he could beat a man of this caliber.

He bowed his head and walked out of the stage without waiting for the emcee to announce his defeat.

Shocked emcee returned back to the stage but continued to stare at Olivia without speaking a word. He could not believe that she had already defeated the main two stars of the show.

Now the other fighters who are new and here just to earn some quick money after defeating a few novices were too afraid to come on the stage.

What was he supposed to announce now? That the game had already ended.

He was sure the crowd would think it was a ruse and everything was planned. He was going to get beaten by them.

No, he had to do something, but what?

He could see the crowd was losing its patience. They have lost money twice and if this would be the end, they would not have any way to earn it back.

"The new fighter Olive won again. Haha! Isn't he amazing!" he could see the man boiling with anger down there and gulped as he did not know how to continue, "well, if you did not believe me, then I will bend the rule and give all of you a chance. Anyone who will come and fight with this new kid and defeat him would get double the offered price.

Who wants to come and fight?" he asked with a smirk, as he knew a few of them were real knights and veterans who come here to check the skills of players.

If they want, they can defeat him in seconds.

"Hey, if they would get double then i demand double price too!" Olivia glared at the emcee. She did not care who fought with her but she did not let go of money.

"I will pay you ten times, if you will be able to defeat me."
