28. Interclass Competiton 3

Alex prepared for the competition on the next day and came to the venue with the rest of the girls. Hinata was also ip and about as she felt a bit different than before.

She had a bit more confidence in herself now. All of them sat down together on the seats and waited for the next round to start.

As Alex was sitting down, he felt someone looking over at him. He looked around but couldn't find anyone. He shrugged his shoulder and focused on stage.

He was in deep thought. 'What can I do to have a bigger edge over the others. Something that can help me to fight better'. Alex stressed his brain to think about some fictional that he read about in his previous life.

'Aha, how can I forget the most broken and overused ability in FanFictions. Haki, I can learn Haki. Observation Haki shouldn't be a problem for me. Armament Haki demands a strong body before you can start on that and I don't have the strength to lift boulders with ease but my will for Observation Haki shouldn't be a problem'.

Alex hit his palm with a punch when he finally thought of the power that he can use to grow stronger than ever.

——the guy who was peeking at Alex——

A guy was standing outside the gymnasium as he peeked at Alex. He was dressed in rags as he looked quite haggard but his body was full of vigour and he looked strong with a buff body.

'Son, I am sorry that I couldn't give you anything. But now I am back and have the power to give you everything that this world has to offer'. The guy thought as he clenched his fists.

'Just give me some more time. And I can see that you are happy with your new family. Just give me a little time and I will be back'. He thought as he went away when Alex looked over. He didn't have the guts to face Alex.

This guy was Alex's father, who had left him on Mamako's doorstep on that fateful day. He didn't know but Alex didn't resent him one bit. He was very grateful to him instead.

This guy had encountered a near death experience on that day that awakened him to an evolver. He knew that too much power without a backing was a curse instead.

So, he opted to stay hidden and refine his powers to bring them under control. Now, he was a Tier 5 evolver.

He stayed all the time in the wilds these past 5 years and secretly killed the other monsters and beasts out there to grow stronger. He faced many Life and death battles but now that had bore fruit and he was a Tier 5 evolver with a powerful ability.

He awakened a weaker version of Sunshine that allowed him to multiply his power by 3 times during the day and up to 2 times during the night.

Genes of a person play a very important role in this world. Alex inherited his power from his Father and Mother's genes. His mother had an energy source inside her that never awakened and instead made her weaker.

But the amalgamation of these two people will be the power of what Alex will get in the future. Alex never knew that his power was inherited from his parents as he had yet to awaken them.

——back to Alex——

'I suddenly have a feeing that I will probably face something big one day'. Alex thought in his mind and grew quite worried.

His resolve to grow stronger was ignited by this more as a feeling like this was too real. So he didn't want to take any chances. He wanted to be fully ready for it.

The rest of the matches went well as Alice was able to dominate everyone with her Gun Kata martial arts.

Ye Lian lost in this round but she can still rank in the top 10 which is good. Some people were lucky to have stepped in top 10 but that won't last long as the people lower can just challenge to take their seat.

Alex's match was with a dagger wielding guy. The guy was very dexterous and fast. Alex just decided on protecting his weak points on the body.

The guy continued for a bit but seeing that it wasn't working. He stopped and just waited for Alex to make his move.

"If you are not coming then don't mind me". Alex said as he stomped on the ground and dashed at the guy.

Getting near him as the other guy was too focused and in a defensive stance. Alex lifted the Axe and just let go. That gave the guy, a momentary lapse of concentration and Alex clapped his hands very hard in the guy's face.

This disoriented him badly and Alex took the chance as he choke slammed him to the ground and sat on his upper body as his fist was just in front of the guy's face.

The audience was a bit dazed from that move but immediately a big applause followed as they were impressed by the cleverness of the move.

Knowing about something and using it in practice was another thing. After the match finished. Alex went back to the sitting area and waited for the next round.

Ye Lian had also came back from treatment and was sitting there with a downcast look on her face. "Yosh Yosh, don't be sad. You did very good in that match. I am proud of you". Hearing Alex's words, Ye Lian smiled slightly but there was still some sadness from the loss.

But Alex deemed it good that she experienced it now before her ego got too inflated from just winning all the time. Sometimes, setbacks can be good for the person.

"Alex! I am going to win the next round and beat you after that". Alice clenched her fists as she looked at Alex with determination.

"We'll see". Alex said as he folded his arms in front of him.

The next round went smoothly as Alex won with his overwhelming might and Alice won with her swiftness snd dexterity.

Now was the time for Alexander Oosuki Vs Alice Abernathy.
