Tournament

Alyra walks in front of Hayato and smiles seeing his dazed expression " What's wrong Hayato? "

" Hmm? " Hayato shook his head and smiles " It's nothing, let's enter "

' Syt, can you tell me what was that? '

[ ' It seems that a quest was activated by your desires ' ]

' What? how? '

[ ' You want that money, no? ' ]

' Mmm maybe a little, now I have a strong reason to win this tournament '

[ ' Secondary Quest started:

Arrive at the finals, without using the Demon Mark and the Sharingan

reward: 7,000 System Points ' ]

' Another one! perfect! '

[ ' This one was sent by God ' ]

' Oh! then he wants me to win without using those powers if that gives me more System Points I will do it '

Hayato had a small smile on his face after that, they enter the Hostel and went to the reception, where they pay for five rooms, expending 1 Silver coin and 20 Copper coins. They were lucky, it seems that most of the rooms of the Hostel were occupied by the tournament's participants and some people that were there for cheering them

" Hayato, remember that we have to be in the city's center tomorrow at noon, so don't stay awake too late " Maya made a cute angered face pointing at Hayato's nose

" Ok, geez, see you tomorrow " Hayato made a wry smile and he entered his room, Maya seems to want to follow Hayato but after seeing that she was surrounded by Dye and Alyra she walked to her room watching one last time Hayato's room. Wade, Alyra, and Dye entered their respective rooms after she entered her room

Inside his room, Hayato was standing still without moving with his left hand on his chin ' The knight said that the tournament will be unarmed, that means I can't use my Katana or the Fourth Hokage's Kunais, that instantly discarded my Flying Thunder God Jutsu and my Chidori Sword '

Hayato sits in his bed and keeps thinking ' From what I learned, there are some guys that can use techniques to boost their speed, reflexes, and strength, only my Demon Mark can boost my strength and speed for the moment but I can't use it and if I can't use my Sharingan too, things will be challenging, I can't underestimate my opponents as I did with Alyra's Grandfather '

Hayato lays in his bed ' I have to buy something that can boost my speed and strength even if the changes are lesser compared to my Demon Mark ' Hayato jumps from the bed with surprise and he began to smile ' There is that! why didn't I think about that before!? with that, I will win even if my last opponent is stronger than me '

Hayato leaves a kunai on the bed and he teleports out of the room, he didn't come back until the sun turned the sky orange, he came back with some bruises and parts of his clothes tattered

' It took me some time to use it well, but now, I will win ' Hayato raises his left hand, and his left hand was covered with a thin layer of blue lightning, that lightning was different from the lightning produced by his Chidori it was calmer and clearer. Hayato smiles with satisfaction and thinks ' This only cost me 5,000 System Points, haha ' Hayato turns to see the window and makes a serious face ' I should have some rest, it took me more time than I expected to dominate that Jutsu '

Hayato went to sleep until he like something wasn't letting him breathe, he felt like he has something above him and something covering his mouth " Ugh..uh...AAH! " Hayato opens his eyes abruptly and he saw Maya's slightly red face as she was leaning above him pressing her voluptuous breasts on his chest. Maya was separating her face slowly from his there was a small trail of saliva connecting their lips " Maya, what are you… " Hayato spoke with surprise but Maya interrupts him putting her index finger on Hayato's lips

" What did I tell you Hayato? you oversleep " Maya made a pout as she caresses his right cheek with her soft left hand, then she approaches him again closing her eyes to kiss him with a lot of love for just a few seconds and when they separated Maya stands from the bed and continues " Now we are late because of that, the tournament will start soon "

" ..!? then we have to go! " Hayato was surprised and he jumps up from the bed

Maya smiles sweetly seeing Hayato suddenly jump beside her and says " Hehe, you dummy, you even slept with those tattered clothes you have to change and put this on over your clothes once you changed " Then she gives Hayato a black robe with a hood

Hayato grabs the black robe and makes a face of doubt " Why? "

Maya points at the window and says " It's raining outside, I bought them when you were sleeping, I grabbed the money you left in your bed "

" How much did this robe cost? " Hayato smiled as he changes his tattered clothes and puts on the black robe with a hood

Maya turned around when Hayato begins to change she seems unaffected then she Grabs a bag under her robe and throws it at Hayato saying " 1 copper coin, but I bought 5 so it was 5 copper coins "

" Oh! thank you, Maya " Hayato grabbed the small bag to then store it in his inventory and then finish changing

Maya turns around and smiles as she grabbed Hayato's left hand pulling him out of the room " Hehe, no problem, now let's go "

Hayato and Maya left the Hostal, outside the Hostal were Alyra, Dye, and Wade waiting for them, they were using the same black robes with hoods, and the rain doesn't seem to be moistening their robes at all

" You finally woke up my friend " Said Wade making a grin

Hayato smiles and says " Haha, yes I was training yesterday so I overslept "

" Hayato! look at these clothes! they don't moist even if I'm moving like this! " Dye said happily as she was jumping around

" Well, they are made with a special material that is against the rain, but they are very cheap " Alyra made a bright smile

Hayato smiles and nods " That's good, now let's leave we can still arrive in time I guess "

" Yes, let's just follow the signs that are on the walls of some buildings and we will arrive there " Wade points at the signs with an arrow

Hayato, Wade, Alyra, Dye, and Maya walked in the rain until they arrive at the city's center, it only took them around 15 minutes. The center was huge and it has four platforms made of stone. Each platform is around 50x50 meters they are the rings of the tournament, around the platform were benches of wood, they are very tall, enough that from the highest point, a normal person can see the four platforms at the same time without problems, the benches were separated from the platforms around 20 meters.

On one of the tall benches, there is a VIP area with a lot o fancy chairs and well-dressed people with some knights around them, there are two men and a beautiful young woman with azure hair in front of the others there. These three are watching the platforms with calm and expectant faces. One of the men who wear elegant clothes looked around 40 years old, he has white hair with purple eyes and a really strong body, he was talking with the other man that looks a little younger than him around 35 years old, he has a long brown beard just as his hair that reached his shoulders and has yellow eyes, he wears a brown armor and his body looks stronger than the other man

The beautiful young woman wears a long blue dress that sticks to her body, remarking her attractive figure and prominent bosom, she looks around 20 years old, she isn't wearing too much makeup but she still has small rosy lips and tender snow-white skin, her azure hair reaches her shoulders, but she brushes the left side of her hair behind her ear, showing an earring with the shape of a blue dragon, she has purple eyes too but long eyelashes, the only thing that doesn't go with her lovely face is that distant look that she has

" Haha, this even could be good enough if it wasn't for the rain " The white-haired man said with a happy smile seeing all the people below then

The brown-haired man nods with a smile and says " You are right City Lord, even so, we can watch the son of the Duke fight, I heard that he is really strong besides he is head over heels for your daughter "

" Haha, this is a blessing and it's a blessing for my daughter too " The white-haired man makes a satisfied smile seeing the brown-haired man

" Why is it a blessing? " The beautiful woman said coldly

The white-haired man sees the beautiful woman with a soft smile and says " You will know eventually my daughter besides I read the names and categories of each person that entered the tournament and there are some outstanding young men that came to fight "

" ...Whatever you say, father " The beautiful woman named Kara turns to see the platforms ignoring the white-haired man

" City Lord, don't you think it's time to announce the rules of the tournament? " The brown-haired man said with a smile

The white-haired man shakes his head and says " Let's wait, Captain, I want all the spectators on their sits "

Hayato, Wade, Maya, Alyra, and Dye arrive at the entrance of the tournament grounds, they approached a young knight at the entrance

Alyra speaks first with a smiling face " Hello, we came here to watch the tournament and they to participate " she points to Hayato and Wade

The knight shivers a little seeing Alyra's beautiful face and his face begins to turn red under his helmet then with a shy voice he says " Eh?... s-sure, can you wait here a little bit " and he leaves, after a couple of minutes he brings another knight

" Come with me young ladies, I will guide you to empty seats " the other knight bowed and spoke in a calm voice

" See you later Hayato! See you later Wade! " Dye waves her hand and she left with the knight

" Good luck! both of you! " Alyra made a gentle smile and she follows Dye

" Break a leg, my love... chu! " Maya smiled sweetly and gives Hayato a quick kiss on the lips making the two knights see him with envy then she turned to see Wade and says with a wry smile " I'm sure you will lose to my darling, but still I wish you good luck, Wade "

" Thanks... I guess? " Wade makes a wry smile, Maya leaves and she, Alyra, and Dye disappeared into the crowd

" Haha " Hayato chuckles and then the young knight spoke

" You are participants, right? can you show me your white cards please " asked the young knight with a small smile

" Here you go " Hayato gave him the small white card

Wade gives his small white card too " Here's mine "

" Mmm, t-this is good, come with me " After the young knight read the white cards he made a shocked face when he read Hayato's card then turns around to leave with Wade and Hayato following him closely

The young knight guided them to a place near the four platforms where all the participants were, some are using the same robes against the rain just as Hayato and Wade but others didn't even have a shirt

" Here you can wait for the announcement of the City Lord, he will start the tournament " The young knight bows and leaves

Hayato nods and smiles " Thank you "

A handsome young man with a black hood and green eyes approaches them after he saw them arrive then he says with disdain " Hmph, more commoners came to the tournament, I don't understand why the City Lord let this kind of people participate in the tournament "

" Haha, that's true they are here just to make us waste our time " Another handsome young man next to him laughs mockingly he wears the same black hood but he has blue eyes they are a little taller than Hayato

Hayato turns to see Wade with a face full of doubt " You heard that Wade? "

Wade makes a serious face and says " Yes, I heard that, it sounded like two stinky dogs barking like idiots "

Hayato nods with a small smile " Oh! then we heard the same thing "

" What did you say, commoner!? I'm a noble of Shokan city! " The handsome young man with green eyes yelled with anger and the other one grinds his teeth

Hayato makes a mocking smile and says " Blah, blah, blah, I don't understand you, dog, go find a bone in another place "

" Grr..! you bastards! when we fight, I will kill both of you! " The handsome man with green eyes yelled and left with the other one behind him

Hayato shakes his head and asks " Wade, there will be always people like them in every city that we will go to "

" Yes, that's how those stupid nobles always are, we can't change them, but we can thrash them " Wade made a sinister grin as he was seeing the backs of the young men

After waiting for 15 minutes the City Lord stands from his chair and with a soft but powerful voice he begins to speak " Welcome to the tournament ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the benches we prepare are full, which means 15,000 people are watching the tournament, let me thank you all for coming to this event, now about the participants, there is an incredible amount of young men participating but that's a little bit of a problem "

The crowd in their sits began to whisper and speaks with surprise creating so much noise

The City Lord makes a wry smile " Calm down, calm down, it's a problem thanks to the huge number of participants, but we can fix it, some knights will make a line in front of the participants, and they will carry a box with four different types of small spheres, White, Blue, Yellow, and Red, all the participants will grab one when everyone has one I will explain the next step "
