Chapter 13

"Isn't that Londo Alexandria?"

"What?? Are you kidding?How can he be there?"

"Huh?!! it really is? He become a third class?"

"It's surprising, and here I thought the only good thing about that guy is his looks"

"Yeah, at least he have some guts to participate now"

"..."

I did expect for them to be surprised. But isn't it more insult than being surprised? Was my image this bad? At least they can see I was handsome. So lets let it be. Suddenly then I remembered something and glanced towards the area where Alice was seated. Yup, she was trying really hard to suppress her laughter, like she completely understood what was I thinking. What did I even expect?

"It is commendable that you decided to participate. It seems you have finally changed"

Val, my opponent had began his speech already. But why the hell is he acting so familiar? I don't even remember meeting him even once.

"To respect the courage of some weak person like you, I will humbly give you three moves"

Was he in almighty mode? It feels too cliche.

"Then I kindly accept it"

I should also respect his wishes I guess.

"Let the match begin!!"

The referee announced announces the start of the match. I decided to use only water attributes since every one knows me having it. I pointed my sword towards him and the crystal at it center glowed in bright blue. A basic magic circle formed before my sword and a stream of water blasted towards him in high speed. He took one step back and swung the metal stick he was holding simply scattering my attack in to thin air.

"It was not bad, now try again"

He said with a smile and took a defensive position again. I don't want to explain it again, so he again took a step back and scattered my attack like it was nothing.

"Good, now try again"

Was trying to act cool or something?

I pointed my sword towards him again and the magic circle appeared. As expected, he took a step back. I smiled knowing the obvious.

"Good bye"

I muttered silently under my breath.

"Huh!!!??"

He lost his footing. A small hump of ice was formed on where he was stepped using my ice attribute. No one noticed. This time the water shot out had more power to it and and he was blasted far away landing outside the arena. According to the rules he just lost.

"???"

I stood there with a dumbfounded expression. It was acting of course. I can't let others no can I?

"What?!!"

"What just happened?"

"Londo... Londo just won???"

"For his opponent to make a mistake like that? he must be really lucky"

The crowd was in a total uproar seeing the infamous Londo Alexandria win. Even my opponent didn't said anything and just sat there with a blank face.

"Londo Alexandria is the winner!!"

I still remembered to keep my fake surprised face even when I descended from the arena.

"Please wait there until your next match"

One of the organisers escorted to me the seats near the arena.

........

"Phew.... luckily Lon won somehow"

Livia was relieved seeing her friend win.

"Luckily? Are you also falling for his trap Livia?"

Sam said while his face show a smile of interest.

"What do you mean?"

Livia didn't understood anything like always.

"Never mind, your friend is really interesting"

"I know right?"

She gave an innocent smile and looked towards Lon.

"..."

'How did I even fall for you?'

Sam thought....

......

The next two matches were done and one get to go to the final round without a fight out of the three remaining. My luck must be great that I got to be the one with the free pass. So I was now waiting for the next match to begin. The winner will be my opponent.

I glanced at the two standing on the arena from below. I know the brown haired one, cause he was the one who became the champion of this group from the novel.

When the match began his opponent shot out the arrow infused with mana. Wall of earth raised infront his and it was blocked with ease. The wall still got blown because of its fire power. His opponent again took two arrows and continuously shot towards him. One more earth wall was again risen and it block one of the arrow. But the other one still moved at him. He took a step and tried to dodge it but the the arrow changed direction and still moved towards him. His opponent was controlling his arrows with wind attribute, but he seem to be struggling.The one who was trying to dodge the arrow smiled stopped moving. Fire burst out from under his feet and rotated in a high speed like a hurricane as him as its center. The arrow was burned to dust and the fire moved towards his opponent at a high pace. He got blown away.

Finishing his opponent in a single swoop, he pointed his finger at me from the arena and declared.

"You will be next"

Show off I guess....
