Cap 1278: Foreplay part 1

Pov Fiona's: 

When the tournament preliminaries started I was initially focused, in my arena there were all men, with the exception of a Human woman holding a large Axe. 

She tried to join me just before the fight started, but I didn't want to, I knew it could end up becoming a tag team fight, but I want to use these preliminaries to prove to myself that I'm getting stronger. 

I know that my decision could hinder the mission if I lose in the preliminaries, but I won't be able to go far if I doubt myself. 

As soon as the fight started, they tried to eliminate the only competitor alone, which would be me, I knew that would happen since I would do the same thing, eliminating the weakest link is a standard action in any type of fight. 

Only one person moved faster, approaching me from the left, the others were trying to attack both of us at the same time, but at that moment a whip grabbed him pulling him back making all the attacks come towards me.
