Chapter 64: Exhibition match

-We can see you from our seat- Diana said

-Your family is cheering you on- Ace commented

-Very loudly if I add- Damon added

-Do your best to crush your opponent- Siege cheered

We then walked to the center of the big coliseum.

-Man this is bigger than the one we went to take our test in-

-Well it's a much bigger event- Dabria replied

A few academies then walked after us and stood a short distance away, some of the students were staring at me, I can hear them with my enhanced hearing

"That pipsqueak is their captain? What a joke!" A guy said

"Their academy stand no chance in this competition" another guy laughed

"Can't wait to see him get beaten up by Drakon's captain, it will be hilarious to watch" A girl chuckled

I then look around to see the Drakon's junior team captain, it wasn't hard to spot, their flags had a crest with a dragon symbol and standing at the front was a 160cm female with green hair, yellow eyes in her school uniform, she was also glaring at me

-It's going to be a humiliating day for her-

-Let's not get too violent now, there are kids in the crowd watching you- Dabria replied

-Yeah and your cousins are one of them- Diana added

-You guys reckon I can just seduce her, make her lower her guard and end it with one move?-

-This is not time for your silly jokes- Dabria scolded

The king of Gloria made his speech before going to sit down alongside the other 9 kings.

"The representatives for the exhibition match please step up on to the stage" the announcer said

Me and the Drakon's captain then walked up to the arena

"We've got 2 promising young talent today, on one side is Drakon's junior team captain, Julia Key, a 16 year old third year with a light purple core"

The Drakon's team cheered loudly alongside the crowd

"And on the other side is the 12 year old prodigy junior team captain from Phoenix Academy with a light red core, Perseus Silver!" he announced

The cheering also got loud.

"Now get to your positions!" he said

"I can't believe they let me fight a commoner pipsqueak" Julia said

"What's wrong with being a commoner?"

"You are all dirty rats, with this match, I'll prove my point" she got into her stance

She is using a C-rank staff and a C-rank robe over her uniform, I'm using a C-rank gauntlet and these C-rank shoes.

"Close combat? Tch, you probably have a small mana capacity, I don't even know why they made you the captain" she complained

"I'm so going to enjoy beating you"

"Are you ready?...START!"

I then used 'Presence' and put it at max. Julia couldn't resist the pressure and fell down to one knee with her nose bleeding, I then slowly inched towards her, she was then barely holding on to her consciousness, she was on all fours and was furiously coughing blood

"Well well well, seems like you've finally bowed down to this humble but filthy commoner" I laughed

-You have to entertain the kings, turn it off- Dabria said

-I'm gonna, just wait-

I then slowly turn it back off, she then tried to get back up holding her staff

"You piece of-" She shouted but she got slapped really hard by my hands that was surrounded by wind and lightning magic and flew

I then warped to her location and kicked her upwards, the heel exploded with blue flames upon contact due to fire magic. I warped in the air and punched her face to the ground really hard, I took off my gloves and charge up the runes I inscribe upon them and threw them towards her, the gloves then exploded upon contact with her body.

Her body created a crater on the arena, and her body was smoking due to the explosions

"What a turn of events! The Drakon's captain didn't even land a hit and is now down, the winner for this exhibition match is PERSEUS SILVER" the guy announced, and the crowd cheered

-Your mother is saying that you should have went easier on the poor girl- Damon said

-She deserved it for underestimating her opponent- Siege replied

-You can do better than that, should've made more explosions- Ace added

-He would've killed her and made himself a criminal- Diana argued

I then walked back to my group as healers were rushing in to help Julia and the students who passed out

"Great job, she also got on my nerve" Elliot whispered "But man that was intense, I would have passed out if all your aura was directed at me"

"Are your arms getting tired yet?"

"Are you kidding me? Holding this flag is one of the most honorable thing to do, I would carry it all day if I have to" he replied

"Don't let me hear you complain about your arms after you lose in the obstacle race"

"You're on" he grinned

The professors and headmasters are all in their VIP room observing the competition

"When I teach people runesmithing I didn't expect them to do what he just did" professor Blue shook his head

"Well he's unique after all" Professor White chuckled "He did the same thing as the day of his test, he somehow intensified his own presence, we can even feel it from here, lucky that girl is alive"

"He did a great job" the headmaster nodded "Just as we thought, bullying and discrimination still run deep in Gloria, won't be long till they experience another uprising"

"Let's hope not, it would be troublesome" Professor Williams commented

*****

"How the fuck did she lose?!" the headmaster of Drakon academy slammed her table"He's a 12 year old for goodness sake, damn it!"

"Let's calm down headmaster, the obstacle race is next, we'll win that one" a teacher tried to calm her down

"We better, we'll be shaming ourselves if we let that brat win" the headmaster said

"Good luck" Eleanor said

"I'm going to kill everyone on this race"

"Let's not do that" Cecily said "Have you got your materials?"

"Of course, my fist with these C-rank gauntlets are rated E for everyone"

"Lucky that I'm not in this, everyone here looks crazy strong" Lucas wiped his forehead

"Well wait till break the crystal where I'll wipe you guys off the floor again"

I then headed for the course by going through a huge warp gate we were teleported far away, there was many contestant on the site

"I'm going to win this time, see you guys at the finish line" Liam said

"That's what I was going to say, my performance today is dedicated to my goddess after all" Caleb laughed

We then all got in a line and waited for the starting whistle, and when I heard it I freeze everyone's feet like before, but as I ran past everyone, Elliot, Caleb and Liam ran alongside me

"You ain't gonna fool me twice" Elliot said

"Well, let's hope you catch up" as I then use fire magic to explode forward
