Disqualified

"Drey are you really gone?", Travis asked. Even though he hadn't been Drey for a long time, he knew that he was a good person. And, also, he was the main reason why Drey was in this condition, which made him feel very guilty and ashamed.

"You damn brat! Stop worrying me and focus on your fight. I have to rest!" A voice suddenly sounded in Travis' ears. As for who this voice belonged, it was none other than Drey.

"Wait, Drey, you are alive?", Travis asked excitedly. Drey's voice presented him with great relief.

"I am not alive. In fact, I am dead!", Drey replied, "I am a soul, have you forgotten that so soon?"

"Hehe, I didn't mean that. I meant—"

"Forget it! I need some rest. Don't you dare call me! After all, you are the main reason why I am so weak is because of you!", Drey said. The anger in his voice was eminent.

"Em, Okay..."

"Good!", Drey said, his voice trailing off.

Travis then looked at Silva. She still had that confident smile on her face. "Heh", seeing Silva's confident smile, Travis let out a chuckle.

"What? Do you think you can continue fighting? You are weak.", Silva said. Her voice was filled with mockery and contempt.

"Hehe, you will regret that in a moment...", being treated with disdain by Silva, Travis wasn't angry. Instead, a smile could be seen on his face.

"What is with the smile on your face? Do you think you can really win?", Silva said with disdain. One could tell that she didn't put Travis in her eyes at all.

*swish*

Travis suddenly threw the water blades to the sky. then holding it like a spear, he lunged it toward Silva. The sword moved at amazing speed merely arriving in front of Silva in a split second. The moment Silva's words left her mouth, she was attacked.

Seeing, Travis' attack, Silva merely sneered, "It's not going to work!", She said.

"Who said that was what I was trying to do?", a cold voice sounded in Silva's ears. that sound let her involuntary shiver.

"Travis... how? You?", Silva was stupefied to the extent that she began to stutter. That was because, at the moment, Travis who was previously standing in front of her had mysteriously vanished and appeared behind her. Moreover, he was standing very near to her.

"You are a smart girl. You should know how I did this. I simply used the Sword as a distraction.", Travis said, making Silva's body involuntary shake.

The main reason why she was shaking wasn't that she was afraid. It was because Travis was very close to her. He was less than an inch from her. Even though their bodies weren't touching, she couldn't help but involuntary shiver as Travis spoke.

"You damn brat! Release me now!" Silva said. She knew she was helpless in this situation. Travis currently had the sword to his throat! With a single move, she will be hurt or, she can even end up dead!

Moreover, the rules of the fight stated that an attack at a vulnerable spot on any person will result in the disqualification of the victim. Nevertheless, a human's neck is a vulnerable spot.

"Hehe, I will be doing just that," Travis said. With a slight movement, he left a little cut on her neck. He then jumped back before she could even attack.

<<Ceremonial menu>>

<<Silva Haley has been eliminated!>>

______________________

A huge hologram suddenly appeared in the middle of the desert announcing Silva's elimination.

"You damn brat! I am going to kill you!". Seeing the hologram that suddenly appeared in the centre of the battlefield, Silva was very furious. In fact, she proceeded to attack.

"Hehe. You don't have that ability!", Travis let out a slight chuckle. This even angered Silva more. She proceeded to increase her speed.

"We will see about—", However, before she could even attack, she suddenly vanished from the battlefield.

****

"That girl was eliminated that fast? I knew it. She is truly useless!", Kate said angrily.

"Were you expecting her to win?", Duane replied with a slight chuckle.

"No, I didn't. Now take this!", Kate said. With a swish, she arrived in front of Duane in a split second. She then attacked. Hardening her hands into a stone, she threw it at Duane. The attack was very dangerous. Wherever it passed, the space at that place began to waver. This time, Kate was using her true strength.

"It's time to end this", Duane said with a smile on his face. His body then became a fuzzy outline, the next moment, he vanished totally leaving no after shadow.

"Goodbye, Lil sis", a sound entered Kate's ears. Then with a movement of his hand, he left a little mark on Kate's neck just like Travis did.

As for Kate, she was so petrified that she couldn't move nor talk. her body was abruptly shaking and the look on her face could only be described with one word. Shock.

She never imagined Duane to be this strong. He was far stronger than she had anticipated This meant only one thing. Duane always let her win a dual between them for only one reason He cared about her.

<<Ceremonial menu>>

<<Kate Gregory has been eliminated>>

___________

The sound of the ceremonial menu sounded again. This time, the person it was disqualifying was surprising. It was none other than Kate Gregory. the leader of the second team.

This led to defeating the second group. after all, they were a group. Without a leader, they were like mindless ants. And also, with Duane leading the way, who would dare resist? Kate was the only one in their group comparable to Duane. And even she lost to Duane, so they stood no chance. With Duane leading the way, they were able to defeat all the remaining enemies. Qualifying for the last competition.

"Hey, Travis how come you won against Silva? I thought she had an epic creature?", Jared asked Travis after they defeated all the other members of Kate's team.

They were currently sitting on a large rock. They were waiting to be teleported to the place they will do the next test.

"You that too? Why didn't you tell me?", Travis asked Jared.

"Hehe, I wanted to know how you would win against her. Now, tell me how you won against her", Jared smiled.

"Yeah, tell us. And we don't want to hear anything along the lines 'I have my tricks' ", Duane joined in. However, Travis remained quiet.

"Come on tell us", Jared urged.

"Yeah, tell us", Duane said.

"Sigh... Okay, I will tell you", Travis sighed helplessly. "I sliced her throat".

"Wait. You killed her?", Jared joked.

Hearing what Jared said, even Sarah and Roland, who were originally not interested in their conversation couldn't help but look at Jared with weird expressions on their faces.

"Come on, I was only joking around", Jared complained. That was because, Sarah, Roland and even Duane were looking at him with the 'Are you dumb?' look.

"Come on, let's not bully Jared. He is the youngest one here but he was able to defeat his opponent faster than Sarah", Travis said, rescuing Jared from the awkward situation, but also pricking someone's soft spot.

"What the hell did you say?", and of course, that person replied angrily.

"Oh, I am sorry. I didn't mean to say that, hehe", Travis said with a chuckle. His voice was filled with mockery and ridicule.

"What do you mean you didn't mean that? You were clearly teasing me!", Sarah complained.

"Well, I guess. We will see each other again. I wish you guys good luck!", Travis said. Only when Travis said this that Sarah noticed that he was currently in the process of being teleported.

Strange sparkles of light could be seen all around him. At this moment, Travis looked very imposing and magnificent.

"I wish you guys good luck! Apart from Sarah though! Hehe", Travis said with a smile on his face. Hearing what Travis said, Sarah was very furious.

"Damn you bra—", however, before she could finish, Travis vanished from her line of sight. All she could do was gnash her teeth in anger.
