Chapter 101 -- A sight to behold 

No one was surprised to see the young lady being called by the nobles. After a performance like that it was obvious.

The noble who chose her surprisingly immediately left with the girl. That event motivated the other fighters to also try their best.

"Well that was an entertaining opening match, so let's keep the ball rolling with the next one. Can number 7 and number 9 please come on stage" Buck announced.

"Wish me luck" Charlotte said. She had absolute confidence in herself but she was still nervous. After all anything could happen, a single mistake could cost her the fight.

"Good luck" Kieth and Ken said at the same time, however Zane stayed quiet. Charlotte then glanced at him as if to ask 'Why aren't you wishing me luck?'

As if Zane could hear her thoughts "Charlotte you don't need luck, just make it quick i can't wait to fight also" he shrugged.

Charlotte couldn't help but smile "Thanks Zane" she said. Ken and Kieth naturally felt violated that Charlotte didn't acknowledge them.

Charlotte took a deep breath before climbing up the small steps of the stage, she found her opponent already waiting for her. It was a young man with red hair. It was pretty obvious that he would become a fire mage one day.

"Ready?" Buck asked the two fighters and they nodded simultaneously.

"Fight!"

Both fighters immediately bolted for the center and met with each of them delivering deadly blows. It seemed they both had the thought of testing the resistance of their opponent.

Charlotte had successfully delivered a punch to the man's jaw but the man also landed a punch to Charlotte's midsection.

From that exchange it was clear to every trained eye that the man was physically stronger that Charlotte, but Charlotte was faster.

The man followed up with another punch to Charlotte's stomach but Charlotte bent her body slightly to avoid getting hit. She knew that she could at most handle ten full power hits from this man, so she had to dodge as much as possible.

Seeing that his punch was evaded, the man threw another one towards Charlotte's head but Charlotte bent her neck sideways before grabbing hold of the man's arm.

She planned to then kick the man's abdomen but before she could, the man forcefully pulled back his arm, and Charlotte along with it, raising his knee, Charlotte slammed into it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Kieth clenched his fist seeing her sister's condition but to his and Ken's surprise Zane was as calm as ever. It was like he wasn't seeing his crush get crushed out there!.

Charlotte fell to the ground with a thud before immediately rolling away. However she didn't only roll once to dodge the foot which almost flattened her.

She rolled up until she was halfway across the stage before standing up to face her opponent. She was slightly surprised to see that the man didn't follow her to attack while she was down, however she wasn't complaining.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes, she didn't expect the man to be this strong, or maybe she was the one was was too weak, she wasn't sure. Wiping the blood off her lips she glanced at her group to see them all with worried expressions....

All except for one, Zane just calmly sat there with a smile on his face. When he saw Charlotte glancing at him he just gave her a thumbs up.

A look of determination flashed across Charlotte's face. Out of the blue she shot towards her opponent. The man, seeing this, also ran towards Charlotte.

However that was when Charlotte started running in a zig zag manner, she would step to the right before stepping to the left again but at a very fast pace.

Her opponent had to slow down as Charlotte's movements were highly unpredictable. The man took a defensive stance as he waited for Charlotte to arrive at his position.

When Charlotte was two meters from his opponent she started running in circles around him. The man was very shocked and confused as to what to do so he memorized Charlotte's speed and threw a punch randomly in front of him.

Charlotte smiled when she saw this and immediately stopped. Her stop was so abrupt that a dust cloud rose, however Old man quickly blew it away, he didn't want to miss this.

Turns out Charlotte had stopped behind the man. The man saw this but it was already too late, a spinning kick landed on the back of his head.

The attack didn't ground him but he was stunned for a second, as he turned around a flurry of punches landed on his abdomen. He raised his hands to attack Charlotte but Charlotte already expected this.

With a single wide step, she moved from the man's from to his left side. It hadn't even been two seconds since Charlotte kicked the man at the back of the head so he was still a little dizzy.

Charlotte quickly sent another kick to the man's left thigh before moving to his back and delivering a flying knee to the spine. However, even then the man was still standing.

Charlotte moved again before the man could turn and kicked the back of his leg, this brought the man to one knee and Charlotte took the chance to kick the man's face, which was now lower since he was kneeling.

The man them fell over backwards and was finally grounded, however the fight wasn't over because he was still conscious.

Charlotte knew that she wasn't strong enough to knock out the man so she broke his wrists before dragging him by the leg.

The quick movements had undone Charlotte's ponytail so her hair was all over the place as it dripped her sweat. Her tight clothing was now sticking to her body while she wiped the blood still stuck onnher mouth. It was a sight to behold for one person in the crowd.....

'Well i found out what turns me on in this world' he thought.

Along the way, the man tried to get up but Charlotte stomped his face for good measure.

It was an interesting scene as a little girl dragged a man twice her size by the leg. It didn't take long for Charlotte to reach the end of the stage and she quickly threw the man off, cementing her win.

Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, Zane was the one to break the silence once more by clapping, much louder this time, even whistling. Charlotte's face turned red from embarrassment as she made her way to the group.

"Congratulations" Kieth and Ken said simultaneously. Of course Zane didn't say anything.

After seeing the gaze he got from Charlotte, Zane smirked "I will congratulate you when you beat John at the end" he said.
