The Tournament Finally Begins!!!

Time passed by and the winners began to enter the room, one after another, and to no surprise to Ean, they were the ones he pointed out when he entered the tournament.

" They're all here "

Shu said as he would glare at all the winners, with a pinch of obvious obsession in his eyes

" You think you can win? "

Ean questioned, as he crossed his arms looking down at Shu who sat on the ground with his legs intertwined

" Of course, still though, this will be fun, so you should prepare yourself "

Shu replied as he slowly raised his chin up, grinning at the thought of the tournament matches

" You're confident you can win, yet you tell me to watch out "

Ean said as he tilted his head, staring at all the participants in the room

" Hmm "

Shu hummed as he weaved his head from left to right, proceeding to look up at Ean with a calm expression

" I have no idea what you've been doing this entire month, or what this tournament has done to you, but you've changed "

Shu said, closing his eyes as a warm smile of approval grew on his face

" What do you mean? "

Ean questioned, as he turned to look back at Shu who simply chuckled

" Your aura has changed, you give off the vibe of a Martial Artist "

Shu explained, causing Ean to open his eyes in surprise, standing in awe for a few seconds, before smiling to himself, glad that he had finally gotten Shu's approval

" Thanks, but, I think you should leave those compliments for later, the tournament is about to start "

Ean replied, as he looked around, the white walls, floor and ceiling began to glow a bright yellow, which of course intrigued Shu, who started to look around with his surprised childish expression, but before he could say anything about the room, every participant was swiftly moved to another location.

Every person who was once in the winner's room was now standing in a field, with a gigantic fighting ring in the middle, and along with the ring, a gigantic crowd of people surrounded the field, they were all sitting on bleachers, screaming and yelling as the tournament that was about to start excited them all.

Above the spectators were a few people, sitting down on well-detailed chairs, they seemed to be part of nobility, and then above them, was an empty chair, a chair bigger than the other chairs, a chair that gave off the vibe of pressure

" Woah!!! "

Shu exclaimed, jumping around in excitement, he loved the place, everything looked amazing and interesting, not only that but he couldn't wait to fight, his blood was boiling as he ran around the ring

" Hello, hello! Welcome everyone to the yearly tournament! "

A man yelled as he fell from the sky, down to the ring, spreading his arms in a flashy way, making the crowd scream in even more excitement.

" First, I'd like to apologize to all of you who waited so long for the tournament to start, although we, us the staff have a very great excuse for that. As all of you can already tell, this year's tournament is going to be a little bit different than the rest, unlike last year and the years before that, we won't have an all-out free for all, instead, we've selected the best of the best to participate in this year's very well structured tournament "

The man explained, shouting into what seemed to be a floating yellow rock, which amplified his voice, making everyone in the field able to hear his speech

" I'd like to apologize again, however, since I'd like to present those well-selected individuals who are going to be participating in this year's tournament. The first and most important person out of the bunch, Arthur Bermudez!!! "

The man shouted, louder than he had shouted before as a screen with an image of Arthur appeared in the sky

" Second participant, Asai Mino!!! "

He yelled once more, this time another screen appeared right next to Arthur's, showing off Asai's looks

" An unexpected yet very praised participant by the staff, Ean Lianert!! "

This time a screen with an image of Ean appeared

" A very strong rising star in our elite academy, Shu Hellgard!! "

The man screamed, as a screen with an image of Shu picking his nose appeared in the sky, this, of course, made the entire crowd laugh, but, it was short-lived as the man yet again interrupted everyone

" Fifth winner, and the second air to the Evania house, Alice Evania!! "

The man exclaimed, veins popping out from his neck from all his loud yelling, as an image of Alice appeared in the sky

" Next we have, Louis Edwards!! "

As those words were spoken an image of Louis was shown, which made Shu's happy and excited expression vanish as he looked up at the screens

" Then we have, Leo Longhorn!! "

The man shouted as an image of a green-haired boy and blue eyes appeared

" And lastly, Eran Dialo!!! "

The man screamed, louder than all the other times before, as he ended his presentation, showing off a boy with blonde hair, golden eyes, and a skinny body.

As the presentation ended, all the screens that appeared in the air would burst into colorful particles, which made the audience scream in excitement

" Now, to begin what everyone was patiently waiting for "

The man said, the crowd yelling louder and louder as he continued

" The tournament begins now, and to start it all off, the first battle will be between, Shu Hellgard and Louis Edwards!! "

The man yelled, and as soon as he did, both Shu and Louis walked toward the ring, each taking one side, as the crowd cheered and cheered, waiting for the match to start.

Shu was taking slow and powerful steps, his hands shoved inside of his pockets as an ominous aura engulfed his body.

Whilst Louis seemed excited, looking forward to the battle with his hands resting behind his head, and with that, they both stepped into the ring, glaring at each other from a far, and before anyone could say anything, before anyone could cheer, both of them disappeared in a blur, appearing in the middle of the ring, clashing against each other, causing a loud and strong shockwave, which excited the crowed as they began to cheer loudly

" Woah! And it seems our tournament has started off with a bang!! "
