The Strongest Team In The Tournament!
Inside our locker room, "So we are...Officially rookie knights right?" Jacob questions. I smile. "Yep, we reached the top 8 like the council asked us to do." I say with a smile. "Damn, it felt...So easy..." Jacob says as he looked down towards this hands. "It was obviously easy because you all weren't goofing around for once and actually training but winning here doesn't mean we stop." Ilora says. There was a slight smile on her face. I smile. At least...Everyone is happy.
Slowly the other rounds begin and we watch. The second round was of Cyan's squad against a squad of demi-humans, a guy from her squad easily took down the opponent in a match of arm wrestling. But...That girl Amy...She still gives me bad vibes. That match was quite intensifying.
The 5th match was a match of dodge ball between the 9 people from Sean's squad and another team of the tournament which belonged to the Lizardmen. Even though the match was quite close and Sean didn't participate in it, the match was won by Sean.
7 rounds later,
"The humans have gotten stronger." Donna the lizardmen's councillor says. "That's quite a surprise, it's almost as if they are enjoying this rather then taking it seriously." Vasteria says with a serious stare. "Heh-heh-heh, it's a human thing to be nervous before a big tournament but enjoy yourself as much as you can during it." Cao Ping says as he strokes his beard and smiles. "You don't say..." Yima looks a little surprised. "Let's see, so far there have been 3 human squads, 1 fairy squad, 1 Elf squad, 1 demi-human squad and 1 squad of the cat people, the squad of the dwarves was knocked out and only one squad of the dragonmen remain and they will be facing off against a human squad. So for the dragonmen to stay in the tournament they need to win this or else they will be out of it. Things are getting interesting." Sun the fairy councillor says. "All these mathematics go over my head, Sun." Oki the cat people's councillor says as she gets dizzy from all those numbers.
Inside our locker room, the room of our locker room opens. "Hmm? A knight? And a sexy one at that..." Richard says looking at Jessica who arrived here. "Oh, it's you." Ilora says to Jessica. Was that her greeting? "Hey Ilora, where's Henry?" Jessica asks. "I am right over here." I say unenthusiastically. "HENRY!!!!" Jessica hugs me tightly. "AHHHHHHHH!!!!!! ANOTHER ONE ADDED TO YOUR HAREM YOU PERVERT!!!" Richard says. It's not like I wanted her to hug me. "PLUS THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SOMEONE HUGGED HIM TODAY~" Is he crying? What is he a drama king or something?
"AND NOW FOR THE FINAL FIGHT OF THE FIRST ROUND! FROM ONE SIDE IT IS TEAM LIGARO!!!!" The lizardmen's final team in this tournament. Interesting... "AND NOW FOR THE FAN FAVOURITES AND THE WINNERS OF THE PREVIOUS ACADEMIC TOURNAMENT, THEY ARE ALSO CONSIDERED TO BE THE NUMBER 1 ROOKIE SQUAD IN ALL WORLD, WE WELCOME SQUAD FIGHTERS!!!!" And that's there Hayden. He is walking very calmfully leading his team out. His hands in pocket like he has no worries whatsoever with that evil smirk on his face.
Hayden is walking upto the squad Liagro's captain. His speaking to him. The camera is quite far from him and his whispering his words just like when he spoke to me back then when we met for the first time. The game they got for the round is called mana testing round meaning the side whose average mana power is greater will proceed. "We already lost." The leader of squad Liagro says. "That man's mana alone brings their squads mana to a completely different level." Liagro's leader continues. Liagro's leader turns towards the announcer. "I give up!" Liagro's leader says.
"Awww! Don't just give up yet, who knows your average might be higher then ours." Says a young handsome man with blonde hair and green eyes. He also seems to be wearing a blue wristband. "Kevin is right, giving up is no fun." Says a dark skinned girl with dark brown hair who wears a headband with a butterfly on it. "Now, now, relax Frieda, let them decide what they want to do, face us like soldiers and accept their defeat respectfully or walk away like cowards." Flora walks up, she seems to be provoking them.
"DAMNNNN!!!!! LOOK AT THOSE HUGE MELONS! EVEN IF THEY ARE OUR ENEMIES THOSE WILL DEFINITELY BE OUR WEAK POINTS!" Richard is on his perv duty again. Jessica seems to be concentrated on them.
After few minutes passed, squad Liagro accepted that they will use the mana tester along with squad Fighters. Meaning that squad Fighters's provocation worked. Very well played, I must say. Squad Liagro got an average mana power of about 11,000 while squad Fighters...Their power level was about 30,000...That is already a huge difference...Liagro lost that round because this round didn't favour their team whatsoever. I feel like no matter what they got, squad Liagro would have lost.
"You guys stand no chance against them...If their average mana power is about 30,000 that means each of their squad-mate has a mana power of an average of at least 30,000, that's crazy." Jessica seems to be getting worked up.
"So what?!" Ricardo questions as I smile. It seems the atmosphere hasn't change at all. "It just means we have to break our limits to beat them!" Jacob says pumping his fist. "I hate to admit it but getting worried about something like that will just drag our performance down and we may not be as strong as those students out there but as a team we are unbeatable." Damien says as he sighs. Brenna smiles. "I will win no matter what, if not...My brother will never acknowledge my strength...So even if it means that I will need to team up with some buffoons, I am completely fine with that." Brenna says. I smile. "Listen Jessica, unlike our oppositions who have been under the rule that we have our teachers and we are training under them, our team is made up of people who have seen a near death situation a lot of times and most of us know how to survive in an environment where survival is impossible." I say. "But...What does that have to do we with the tournament?" Jessica asks. "What does it have to do with the tournament, huh?" Ilora gives Jessica a cold look. "What he means is that the tournament is our death ring and we have to make sure that only we are able to survive in it. You get it now." Ilora says. "We don't think things straight, rather, we make sure that we cause mayhem wherever we go or at least get into a fight with someone to save someone or to keep yourself away from harms reach and unlike other squads who think that they are heroes and saviours, we think that we are just here to kill the baddies and get revenge or some shit like that." Casey says with a smile. "That is why, we are called the worst squad at Rodeo academy." Erica says with a smile as she stands calmfully in the corner sticking to the wall.
Jessica smiles, "The worst squad huh? Interesting..." Something seemed off for moment...That smile...It wasn't a normal one and the way she spoke...Tsch! Why did this remind me of the way Amy and Kim spoke to me...? Why did it sound like the words of a betrayer?
Jessica says her goodbye to us and leaves. She says she will be watching us from the stadium but now...I have a bad feeling about her too. Something is up...Something really bad is up and going...
