Fighting one on one competition

The alchemical competition ended, and Max was relived. He wanted to just watch the show and relax. Sit in this stupid meeting between rulers and just come back to his kingdom finally. 

After that there were different entertainment shows and the day end with the blacksmithing and alchemy competitions having taken place. There was no time for the fighting competition today and the people in the crowd had lives to live.

Nothing notable happened during the other half of this day. There was a luxurious dinner for all the royalties. Max ate well and went to sleep. There were multiple people that wanted to talk with him about alchemy and sending their heirs to study from him, but Max reply was simple: "They need to be able to produce some of the easier potions with no impurities flowing in them. Only after that we will have a conversation about their apprenticeship."

After Max left a lot of the rulers changed in face and started to curse him in their minds. Some of the higher-level country leaders did not shy to even say it out loud. No one really objected him. Max got on a lot of people's bad sides because of his personality and commentary on the young generation. Max did not know that his actions created even more enemies for himself even if he really did something good for the younger generation that he could just keep to himself. Knowledge sometimes worth to work hard for and even pay a lot to get a chance to study something, but it was not something those nobles thought about. For them playing the game of politics was more important than being real. 

At the next day there was a luxurious meal for all the royalty at the morning. Max enjoyed a good meal. He had to give them the fact that the food was good. After the morning routine everyone went to the stadium again and it looked different now. There were multiple rings for 1 on 1 fights. 

Max was cited on the same place. He was looking forward to the fights. All the rest of the kings and queens were also waiting for this moment because the fighting power is what really matters to a nation. Without power to keep what you have you will not exist in the long run. 

There were youths in different power levels at the competition. From the first apprentice knight to a knight level figures. There were also few first level apprentice mages as well. It was impressive. There were two main levels of competition. Competition between the apprentice knights and a competition between the knights and mage apprentices. When the fights started the different leaders were nodding in affirmation at their youths. The ones that lost in a disgraceful way got glares or humfs of dissatisfaction. Max was generally dumbfounded. This was horrible. He wanted to come and say to Rey that he got promoted from a retard to a human after what he saw here. After that he just started to think about his own stuff. This competition did not interest him anymore. After going into his own thoughts Max just closed his eyes to not get irritated but the sight of retards swinging, and it caused him to fall asleep with time. 

The finals of the 1 versus 1 fights were in full swing and Max was snoring quietly. The leaders near him looked at him with irritated faces. The fighters on stage did not see what was going on because they were focused on the fights. 

After a few rounds the winers were decided. The winers were both from level 8 countries and they got their respect from the cheering crowd. They looked at the leaders of the different countries with a smirk on their faces and the different leaders were nodding in affirmation. 

When the winner between the knight figures saw the snoring Max his face contorted, and he shouted: "Is king Max at good health? Can someone wake him up?"

He was not used being ignored. He had a very high status from his country, and he should be one of the people that shape the face of this empire in the future. He was not ready for a disrespectful behaviour from a level 1 country king, although he was an alchemist.

Max did not wake up right away and only after a little shake from the king on the seat near him he got to his senses. When he saw the everyone were looking at him, he stretched his head and said: "Congratulations for the winners. I got entangled in my thoughts."

The youth that shouted at before got an evil grin and said: "I saw that you gave a lot of pointers to the alchemists of the different countries. Maybe you could give some pointers to me?"

The youth named Jerrad did not want to let Max go. He wanted to humiliate him. A level 1 country king was in a lower status than him. 

Max was still sleepy and just answered without thinking: "Well you are not an alchemist. If you get to the level I asked I will gladly teach you."

Jerrad got even more irritated and said: "Well I want you to give me a few pointers in fighting right now or I will come to visit you and your family after the competition."

Max did not really get the point int the beginning but after seeing from where this kid was, he got the point. The fact that some brat was insulting him and threatening him without fearing at all and the fact that everyone acted like it was alright really got on Max's nerves. His personality that changed for the worse got the better of him and he said with a smile: "No problems, brat. Let's see what you got. Just don't poop in your pants alright?"

Jerrad turned to Max with a teasing smile and said: "Sure thing."

The king of the country was looking at his beloved grandson with worry and thinking: 'Brat you only got to the knight level, and you did not have the ability to feel the power of the killing intent of this man. If you would train a few more years, you would be more respectful for your elders.'

When Jerrad turned to his king and saw the worry in his eyes, he got even more irritated. He now wanted to cripple this king Max and show that he was a grown up and his grandfather could trust him with big things.

Max got out from his sit, stretched well and with slow steps got into the ring. No one said anything so he will just teach this brat to respect people himself. It was not a problem for him. 

"Well brat. Let's begin." Said Max with a hideous smile.
