Multi School Tournament 1

There was a loud roar the moment the first two people were called up Azzura Cavallo And Eliya Neta. Sitting down in the room for contestants, I looked through my phone and saw Theo's name on the first thing.

I texted him since I'm bored but right as I was about to; he sent me a message.

"How's your day going?" He asked with good grammar for a text. "Good, so far sitting in the waiting room for the multi-school exams."

"Cool gl on the tournament." "Thank u." I replied. "Don't they stream that on Tv nation-wide?" "I think so." "Alrighty, then I'll be rooting for u through the Tv." "Thanks."

I powered off my phone and continued watching the tournament.

Theo…

Sitting down on the wall slumped over, I had just finished fighting in another underground ring. The ref gave me my cash. The crowd was cheering my name. Man, do I hate doing this. I'm going to get a job. Mom and Layla wouldn't like this if they found out

Walking out of the makeshift ring back to my middle-class condo and greeted mom and Layla, I turned on the tv and kept scrolling until I saw the tournament. The first match was nearing the end. They finished it and they cut to the contestant waiting room and right in the front I saw Sapphire in front in gray shiny armor with red crystal vein-like outlines.

Sapphire…

I watched the matches begin. I was bored and uninterested in the matches. But I didn't want to sleep, nor could I because of the time of day. I still couldn't find Leona Brian Tenner or even Raimy, which was strange.

I want to cure myself of my boredom, but watching those matches won't help me out. I can almost see what their next move is going to be. An hour passed, then I heard them call out my name, and I was surprised because I thought the time would never come, now?

Walking up, I saw who I was going up against a random person from Kolet academy. What a blast. Harry wilder

The timer was up and I teleported down to the fighting ring. "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" A loud roar resounded from the audience. I cringed at the loud noise.

"Let's have a good match." Harry said confidently. "Ok." I infused my armor with Hacht. It

The referee yelled out, and I got into my fighting position. "Three! Two! ONE!"

He stayed back going for an out-boxer style of fighting and I crouched my back down "Start!" I rushed towards him, performing a roundhouse kick, then a 540 kick. He blocked both, but not without punishments to his best tools. His arms. Then I pushed off of his arm while still mid-air.

Going back and reinforcing myself with my Hacht. Projectile powers weren't usable. Anything that exited the body to do damage to your opponents wasn't allowed. I rushed towards him again.

I didn't plan on using my power, as it is very lethal and powerful. His arms were bruised badly, amazing. That didn't at least a joint or. two, he just gritted his teeth and continued. Suddenly, he switched to an in-boxer stance and started going in for some hits. I moved around him almost like a ghost. His eyes couldn't track me and he started punching at where I was once was.

I kicked the back of his leg and put my fist right into his face. "Round 1! Goes To Sapphire Victoria!!!" "YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" The was a lot of celebration and trading money in the stands people ad took bets on this match interesting.

It looked like a large sum of money. Most of the people here are rich nobles or extremely rich merchants.

I still did not need to take a breather, so I just stood there. He got healed lightly by some medical professionals and was raring to go. He kept the in-boxer stance and I kept my usual stance.

I went forward first confidently, then he moved his entire body my way and punched at me. I dodged clearly. Then he kept punching fast and faster until there was a delay in his ounces. I took a counterattack. I used an uppercut on him and sent him flying with blood leaking out of his mouth.

knockout.

But this time, he was more confident looking and had quite the cocky smirk on his face. Well, well, I'll have to use my fists this time around. I walked towards him calmly and used (phantom step, punching him in the face twice, then I hit his stomach with a good amount of force.

Repelling him back. I then jumped up and punched him in the jaw. His entire body leaned over and he lay on the floor, clearly knocked out. That took way more fort than I initially thought it would take. That power would be very nice to have with all the hits I've taken over the years.

This time, he wouldn't get back up for a bit. "Sapphire Victoria WINS!!!!" "WOOOOOOO!!!" They all cheered. I saw a lot of smiling faces in the crowd trading money secretly under the chairs. Betting is a perilous business.

It instantly teleported me back to a different waiting room with different people waiting in it and a different match going on they made over one stadium so it wouldn't go on for so long.

This looks to be the winner's bracket and the losers bracket should go to the other stadiums but I wonder how many winners brackets there are.

Meanwhile, Brian.

I got in close to my opponent. He tried backing away but then I punched him twice in a quick succession, dropped and swiped his legs from under and kicked him back up. I then kicked him to the side.

The entire crowd gasped, seeing the utter defeat of my opponent. "Round 1! Goes to Brian RYHEM!!!" There were tons of smiling faces in the crowd because of the amount of betting that was going on in this arena everybody bet on me, most likely because of my family.

He struggled to get up, punched in on his nose. I should've gone for his jaw. That would've been an instantaneous knockout. "What are you?" He said as the medical professionals helped him up. They lightly healed him and asked if he wanted to continue this match.

"You're going up against a Ryhem. You can't be serious, can you?" Even the medical professionals were scared for him. It's not like I'm a monster. Am I? Putting my best poker face on to make sure they didn't know that what they just said had affected me. They looked over at me once again and shivered.

And turned around again. "You're good to go." He still had a lean in his walk. They obviously hadn't healed him of all of his injuries. He put his fists up again. "Round2! Start!" Pushing directly towards him, he had his guard up, but I punched straight through his guard. "Gah!"

Then went for a left hook. His body leaned right over and he plopped right on the floor with a loud thud. All the doctors and nurses rushed over and carried him out. I was instantly teleported to a new contestant waiting room.

They must have multiple ones as to not let the tournament go on for months.

A completely different match, a boring one in fact, where it was obvious who would win, who would lose, and the next moves they were going to make. Since the number of contestants is going to go down by half by the end of the day, the matches should end in around two days or so.

After winning the battle royal exams, I was a favorite to win the hand-to-hand combat and the sword fighting tournaments too. "Hey! You're Brian Ryhem!" A random person said

In an excited voice. "Yeah that's right he is!!!!" "Oh yeah!" "From that one family?" "Of course!' "The Ryhems are like supermodels!" "Can I have your autograph?!!!" "Me too!!" "Yeah me too!" "Please put your autograph on me!!!"

in

I sat down in my chair and calmed down.

Meanwhile Raimy…

I sat down in one of the many seats to wait for the matches to start Hand-to-hand combat really wasn't my thing. I was looking around and saw some suspicious-looking figures in the crowd constantly observing they were completely hiding their presence. Which is strange and why I caught them. I arch my eyebrows and glared at them until they noticed which wasn't long. I then stood up and walked directly over there and sat down next to them.

Now I would like to know why you're hiding your presence and why you look so suspicious. "We aren't here to hurt anyone." They pulled out some badges that said Fylar military recruit agency. "We're a bunch of kids. What reason exactly do you have to recruit us?" "That's a secret."

I nodded and didn't move. "Just enjoy the battles." The mysterious man said. Leaving, I sat in my other seat and was dumbfounded. The military is being used to recruit children that are barely fifteen. Eh, I'd like to be recruited. It'd be better than staying in my house at any point in time.

Everything seems to get much tenser usually it's in some more months that we have the exams, not this early, only a month into this school year. The battle was about to start, but then I saw a familiar person being back up against the glass in the contestant waiting room. A bunch of students with cameras flashing was backing Brian up in a corner.

Mr. Superstar sure has a lot of "dedicated fans" I turned my attention away from that and watched the match that had just started. I had been so distracted as to not hear their names that doesn't happen often. I wonder how Sapphire and Leona are doing right now.

Leona… right now,

It's official, I'm pissed. This guy has a power of hardening and keeps waving his huge and A** hands in the air and somehow hitting me every time. I'm going to hit this guy with the force of a train if he doesn't stop and he won't gain control of his limbs for another few days.

Or I could send a light electric shock to his brain and make him collapse onto the floor. I rushed towards him as fast as possible could leave a trail of lightning in my wake. He started waving his hands in the air again. Nope, not again.

I quickly scanned him all over and dodged every single was I jumped on top of him and tapped his head lightly. "Huuuuuuhhhh???????????" The entire crowd that was once roaring dopamine was completely confused in a heartbeat.

A paralyzing effect is useful and now I can manage how much LFE I use in a single attack. I didn't even need to use Hacht. It's over. Walking towards him. "H- how?" You can still speak? Interesting, I guess that rock-hard skin of yours didn't let the conduction of the electricity that was supposed to affect all of your brain's functions just enough to not let you have any meaningful access to your limbs except some light twitching.

This means I have to slightly monitor the energy output of this certain attack to fit hardening abilities, which might make it much harder to attack people with hardening abilities. But those that have the ability to directly transform the type of matter that their bodies are made of are an entirely unique problem, so…

I teleported to a completely different contestant room than I was in interesting. How many did they build exactly?

I need to do more calculations for people with hardening powers.
