6 Chapter 6

Jiro removes his two spells from Tahara. He wakes up in shock, like another nightmare occurred. He looked at the king and his family.

"How do you feel, son of Ares?"

Jiro asks Tahara.

"Different. This new power feels incredible, but i can't shake off the bad feeling about it. Accepting it seems to be the choice right now, though."

Tahara says to Jiro.

"I agree,"

Jiro responded,

"You did lift the curse from your family. Im allowing you into the Knight Organization, so get ready for the tournament. But im still cautious, so me and the judges will monitor you. Be careful with your new power, it's the only power you have right now."

"I see. Thank you, my king. it's a honor to be welcomed."

Tahara and his family were allowed to go home. Everything was already rebuilt, like nothing happened.

"Tahara, i hope you truly are prepared."

Yanaha said.

"War is war, no matter the power. Make it your own."

A week passed. Strangely, Tahara couldn't feel his new energy. He felt so regular and powerless, Yet he doesn't have the mindset to quit.

Is he truly ready?

Days later, it's tournament day. Yanaha and Rikizuma were worried that he couldn't activate his new power, but Tahara reassured he would prevail each match. He actually didn't know what would happen, his power simply vanished.

They gathered along with all the other 32 warriors in the wait room. There was alot of chatter, but that was broken when Jiro entered moments later. He was accompanied with a squad leader, Someone who lead a group of young knights into a mission.

"Everyone, I am pleased to see the children of of the gods, and to see new faces."

Jiro spoke.

"As you know, this tournament will determine your place in the Knight Organization. It's not about just fighting evil, its also about support. Now, this is a 16 bracket tournament. Females first, then the males. The last match will be female versus male. The winning trophy doesn't determine your spot, my friends. It's about what you're made of. War is about to begin, and we need all the help we can get."

Everyone started to chat when he stopped talking, but Jiro raised his hand to speak.

"Now, killing isn't allowed. But, If a fatal blow is constructed, You lose."

Everyone started to wonder and mumble about this information.

"Do not worry, me and squad leader Daigo will solve this problem."

Jiro and Daigo started performing a spell and yelled,

"Reverse Life Drain!"

At that moment, a green circle appeared on everyone's left shoulder.

"This spell will heal any fatal blow,"

Daigo explains.

"With that, me, Jiro and the other judges will know you lost. Fatal blows or being knocked out the arena is game over. The timer is also set to 25 minutes. That being said, You all have a hour to prepare. Then we will announce the first battle."

Daigo then snapped his finger, and a piece of paper appeared in front of everyone. It was their tournament number.

Jiro and Daigo proceeded to exit the room.

"So it begins,"

Tahara said as he smirked with excitement. Despite him being powerless right now, he was full of battle.
