Chapter 72: On their way

3rd person view

"Is it on its way?" Draven asked

"Yes" Urie answered "Are you excited that they have gone on their way?"

"Well a bit, those things freaks me out, what did they call it again?"

"A chimera" Alice answered "I do agree that they are quite weird"

"They're weak but man, we should've invested more in something else instead of hunting for beasts and creating a hybrid out of it" Draven grumbled

"I don't think it's so bad, besides the chimeras aren't the only ones we sent" Urie replied

"Well let's hope they serve their purpose as our warning" Alice giggled

"You guys lost already?!"

"Yeah we were unlucky, we had to fight Miller's team on our first fight" Cecily replied quietly

"They probably used their connections to make us fight them first, damn it" Lucas cursed

"Well we're in a different division, the only way we can fight him, is if both our team make it to the finals" Albert said

"Or we can hope your team make it further in than theirs" Eleanor suggested "Then the engagement will be cancelled"

"What's their roles?"

"Their leader, Phillip is their rogue, Miller is their soldier" Cecily answered

"I'll be leaving Miller for Albert then, for the next several matches, can you guys watch their team and gather data for us, the more the better"

"Of course, thank you so much" Cecily bowed

"We're friends after all, no need to thank us" Albert replied

"C'mon Albert, let's meet the other 3, it's time for our first match"

We then walked to meet our teammates as we then head outside for our match

"Don't forget the plan, Albert, you create a spatial field around our crystal to protect ourselves against potential spatial mages" Elliot said "You and Caleb are tasked with protecting the crystal, if you can't win, call Perseus and do whatever you can't delay them"

"And our job is to destroy their crystal" Liam said

"You know your job right?" Elliot looked towards me

"Yeah help you guys eliminate their crystal while eliminating our opponents along the way, thanks boss"

"You're following my lead better than I thought, just go wild" Elliot nodded looking satisfied with my response

"Well I'm too lazy to give out orders right now since I just won 2 competitions, let's go"

"Still as arrogant as ever" Liam mumbled

-I've been saying that for years- Dabria agreed

-You're supposed to be on my side here-

-I am- Dabria replied

We then put our colored armband on our arm, the soldiers red, guards blue and rogue yellow.

We then got onto our position as our match was about to start, the empty space between us and the other team started to grow a small luscious forest.

"We've got the advantage already, this is going to be easy"

"Well let's show them our practices wasn't for nothing" Elliot nodded

As the match started, me and the other 2 rushed into the forest, we easily navigate through it and then we saw the 2 soldiers followed by their rogue

"You 2 go ahead, I'll ambush them"

"3 might be hard for you so just slow them if you can" Liam suggested

"I know, just go"

"Yeah got it, we'll focus on break the crystal" Elliot replied as him and Liam headed off.

I then turn off my presence and headed off to them

"Come on, they might be strong but we've also practiced for this situation" a victim said

"I know, I'm coming, it's just you who's going too fast" victim#2 replied

"Yeah, slow down would you" the rogue victim agreed "I'm in the worst spot here, I can get attacked by anyone"

I then created quicksand in under them, and they got trapped.

"Damn it, I knew we shouldn't have gone too fast, let's fly out" victim #2 said

I then jumped out and attack them

"Shit! It's an ambush" their rogue shouted

I then knocked him out cold and the other 2 got out and attacked me, we then exchanged several blows, destroying our surroundings with it, it didn't take long for me to over power them both, I then fought them, wounding them heavily.

It wasn't long till the fight got stopped and my team got announced the winner since the opposing crystal got destroyed.

"You're doing a good job son, if your team keep doing what you're doing, you will get that girl you like" an old fat guy said in a video call

"To think our son would fall in love at first sight just after one meeting, it must be fate, just like us" his wife said happily kissing her husband

"Thank you for this opportunity father, mother, I will win this competition and prove my power to their family" Miller replied

"Yes, their family will annul the engagement if you can't beat those 2 teams" the old noble nodded "We used our connection to put the weaker team in your division, alas we can't put both of their team in your division"

"That should be enough father, if they make it to the finals, we'll at least get some more information about their abilities" Miller bowed

"You guys did good" I laughed

"Well Elliot distracted the 2 guards as I destroyed the crystal" Liam replied

"Well let's keep this morale, we'll need it for all our next matches" Elliot said

"Us guards barely need to do anything, leave us some next time" Caleb added

As we were talking, Professor Steel approached me and asked to bring me to see the headmaster

"Can I bring my bonds and bodyguard?"

"Yeah sure be quick, it's urgent" he replied

After that we followed him and enter a room where the headmaster was, he was also accompanied by professor Blue, professor White and professor Williams. The headmaster then handed a letter to me, on it it says 'To Perseus Silver' with the red sword crest.

"It was placed in front of your room, the person who found it thought you were with the terrorists, lucky they reported it to us, otherwise the authorities would have been involved" the headmaster said "But we know otherwise sorry but we took the liberty of reading it first"

I then read it and it says

'Don't forget my warning now, just know lives will be lost'

-It has the same handwriting- Ace commented

-Yeah it's Urie Chester- Damon agreed

"Did you know who placed the letter?"

"No one was at the scene so no" Professor Williams answered

"What about your scouts, did they find anything suspicious?" Damon asked

"Nothing of the sorts, I even had my sister helped" Professor Steel said

"Seems like we got a spy in our midst, awesome!"

-People usually won't be happy at that- Diana commented

-Well, he's a weird one- Dabria added

"Your definition of awesome definitely needs work kid" Professor Steel said
