It was an impressive sight, to say the least before the eyes of Jax stood a massive Hammer the Sacred treasure of The Serpents sin of Envy, Dianne. He had seen the impressive sacred treasure many times but it still was as impressive as he remembered, "well let get this back don't you think guys" Jax turned around and the current group that consisted of members of the Sins looked at him. "Yes, its time" Meliodas chuckled.
They stood in the crowd trying not to stand out but they still drew some attention after all Ban wasn't exactly normally dressed and King was floating on his sacred treasure. After a while the announcer started to speak he was a short guy with a helmet on of course Jax knew who this was in disguise but he didn't say anything. He shortly glanced over at King with a pitiful gaze he knew he had to go through that experience. Jax quietly continued to listen to the announcer before the first round of the fighting festival started.
It was simple what the first round consisted of the group with many man and women who wanted to win this year would be fighting in a battle royale. Only 8 people would go on to the next round where they would have individual matches. The battle royale started and Jax looked around him until he spotted Howzer he considered just throwing him off right now to annoy him but decided it would be more fun to spar with him one on one.
He knew he would be recognized sooner or later by him so he didn't bother to hide his presence at all. Just slowly walking through the crowd and throwing people off right and left. It was as if Jax was just walking in a park until he met King. Jax decided to get serious about it and stood ready to fight before he punched towards him expecting King to block it. But to his surprise, it hit his face clean and King flew off the stage.
Disappointment and amazement was seen on Jax's face until he heard Meliodas laughing behind him. "King's physical strength is still too weak" and then Jax realized King wasn't a person with good physical strength.
Disappointed Jax went on to throw people of not caring if they were man or woman until suddenly the announcer announced the end of the first round. Only eight people remained right now.
Those eight people were
- Jax
- Ban
- Meliodas
- Howzer
- Griammore
- Matrona
- Cain
- Taizoo
Jax walked towards the room where the pairings would be made excited to see who he had to fight first everything went like normal until it was time for Jax to grab his opponent. "And the pairing would be Cain vs Jaaaax" Jax just looked back at Ban like he was stupid before walking up to him, "you know sometimes I truly don't understand why you are not dead yet with how stupid you are." While shaking his head "well its because I'm immortal" Ban answered jokingly.
At the different side of the room, Howzer looked shocked at Jax he had a feeling before but now he knew for sure that his childhood friend was here too. He wanted to walk up to him and catch up with him but he couldn't after all Griammore was here who is the son of Dreyfus. And Howzer knew for sure that he also knows who they are if he went over to talk with Jax as if nothing was wrong that would be reported to Dreyfus. Howzer just silently hoped that he could face Jax somewhere in this tournament he wanted to see the gap between him and Jax and see if it was as big as Gilthunder told him.
The pairings for the second round were made.
- Griammore vs Matrona
- Taizoo vs Howzer
- Meliodaf vs Baaan
As soon as Jax heard the name Ban gave himself and Meliodas he just shook his head 'how stupid can he be.' Before he heard a comment in his head, "not as stupid as you" Eien decided to tease his master it was a while since he was used and started to get bored of not fighting any battle where he would be on life and death with his master. "shut up" Jax said back to him, "I want to fight stronger opponents why are you even here at this festival that has no real meaning to you" Eien asked Jax.
A sigh was released from Jax's mouth " I know I want to fight stronger opponents to you know but trust me soon there will be worthy opponents" Jax said while thinking to the strength that each commandment has and the strength his grandfather possesses. It was a level that he couldn't reach just yet but he knew he would reach it if he trained hard and put his life on the line. He was a demon someone that would grow stronger when they age yet he was only 15 years old so right now he had to depend on his training to grow stronger.
Jax only stopped thinking when he reached the place where he would fight he walked onto the fighting space and looked at the old man in front of him. Both of them got in their respective battle stances prepared for what was to come.
The announcer spoke up, "Let the match begin"
