Henry vs Bri

"Each one of you will have one chance only, you'll fight and whoever lose is out. If you win you'll fight another winner and keep fighting until there is only one person left. Your opponent will be randomly chosen amongst the other 123 students."

After saying that he started pressing things in the air, he was using his holographic phone that was integrated in his lens.

"Alright, first match of the day : from planet Buton : Krith against Gitor from planet Welt !"

Both boys went forward, Henry's schoolmate was tall and lean, he didn't have an armor but carried a very heavy looking hammer while the boy from planet Welt was chubby and looked way younger than the rest of the people present, he also wasn't wearing an armor and his weapon was a whip.

"Who do you think will win ?"

Asked Thomas, it was already 8 am and his tiredness was starting to fade. He was also very interested in this game that was about to start so he focused.

"Well i'd like to cheer for our schoolmate but isn't it weird that the other boy look super young ?"

"Yeah if i had to guess I'd give him around 14 years old ? It definitely is weird that he's here."

"Well if he jumped over so much classes then he must either have an influential background or he's a genius, in either case I doubt our schoolmate will be able to win against him."

"Damn no wonder they're called the elite."

FWEEEEET

With a whistle from a teacher who was acting as the referee both boys started the fight.

"Good luck."

Said the chubby boy with a smile however, before his opponent could answer the whip had already started a torrent of attacks against him !

There was no opening for him to move out so instead he started swinging his hammer round and round to make a shield and charged to the front, although his hands holding the hammer were injured and bloody the whip had been entangled to the hammer !

The boy from planet Buton didn't expect his strategy to work and smiled wide.

"What can you do without your weapon ? Heh"

"Who said we're allowed to carry only one weapon ?"

With this sentence chubby boy threw the whip he couldn't pull off and grabbed behind his waist two new whips !

"Shit !"

Krith looked at his bruised and bleeding fingers and decided to give up.

"I give up."

'I might lose a finger if I try the same strategy again. I'd rather avoid losing them in a training fight.'

"Winner : Gitor !"

Fights kept on going one after the other, until it was a girl's turn.

"Twenty-seventh match of the day : Rose from planet Hyron against Samuel from planet Escuri !"

Henry looked at Thomas and said

"Isn't Escuri one of the best planets in this tournament ?"

"Yeah the guy in the restaurant had talked about both them and the Capitole, they are supposed to be the true elite of this tournament."

Henry was first interested in the boy from planet Escuri but then the black dagger in the girl's hand attracted his attention.

'It looks so similar to my Dark bone dagger !'

The girl was playing with her dagger and walked to the middle of the field where the fights were happening, although Henry had never seen her he guessed she was one of the eleven who got one of his daggers.

"You're very cute, I wouldn't want to injure you so you should just give up early."

Samuel, Rose's opponent taunted her but she didn't care and stayed focused.

FWEEEEET

The match started and Samuel pulled out his own weapon, a huge bow that was hanging around his back. On his waist were his arrows inside a bark blue quiver, he pulled out an arrow and nocked it however the dagger had already touched his chest !

Rose had thrown it at him and he collapsed on his knees.

"What the fuck ?!"

In the short two seconds when he couldn't move she picked up her dagger and put it on his neck, since the dagger was in contact with his skin he still wasn't able to move.

"Winner : Rose from planet Hyron !"

'That's definitely my Dark bone dagger... seems like winning this tournament won't be as easy as I thought.'

A huge smile of excitement formed on Henry's face, after seeing all the people fighting today he was starting to lose interest because of how bad they were but because of that girl Rose he was finally back on track.

The last time he had fought was last year during the fighting contest in their school, that time with the robbers could also count as one but he hadn't done anything really. He had just touched them with the dagger and they had lost.

Rose also looked towards Henry who was smiling and their eyes met, they both nodded to greet each other and Rose had to go down of the platform because the next fight was starting soon.

"Twenty-eighth match of the day: Henry from planet Buton against Bri from planet Trea !"

With a name like that Henry thought his opponent would be a girl but to his surprise it was actually the long haired wild guy from the restaurant and earlier this morning.

"Seems like I won't need to wait until the real tournament to play with you arrogant boy."

Although he talked big he was looking at the dagger in Henry's hand with worry.

FWEEEEET

Henry looked to the side and his eyes met Rose's who was looking in his direction, his opponent also looked to see what he was looking at and was touched by a dagger right on the armor. Since he was wearing a full body armor his body was a lot slower but Henry would have to aim for the head if he wanted the dagger to take effect !

Henry whose body was a hundred times lighter than Bri's ran and grabbed his dagger before it hit the ground, by this time Bri had already taken out his sword from its scabbard and raised his guard.

"Did he just try to imitate Rose ?"

"Hahah although his daggers looks to be the same as hers how could he be as good as our genius, of course that strategy will work only for Rose !"

"That's not true, I wouldn't have aimed for the head either if my opponent was wearing an armor, the chances of missing and killing are quite high. I guess he did that to surprise his opponent."

Rose answered her classmates who were mocking Henry.

After grabbing his dagger in mid air Henry realized a sword was coming down towards his right shoulder and there was nowhere to escape at this distance !

He changed the armor to the second form and used his shoulder to deflect the sword strike then changed to the third form and tackled his opponent just like a football player! When the opponent was on his back Henry changed back to the first form and put his dagger on Bri's neck. Just this easily the fight was over !

"Winner : Sam from planet Buton!"

"Didn't he just rely completely on his equipment?"

"That's true, I could rank first super easily if my parents were so rich. You really have to be trash to not show results while wearing a 250 000$ armor."

"Humph. Equipment is part of the owner's skills, will you also complain if you ever have to fight against miss Anaya wearing all her stuff ?"

Everybody closed their mouths when Thomas said that, they were all big fans of the strongest warrior of the alliance Miss Anaya and they were well aware that a big part of her fighting ability came from the equipment she got from the Forge because of her father.
