Starting of 2nd Day.

It was a morning time when the sun seems to be on the rise, while the intensity of the heat was not that high, but youth rushing around with sweat and excitement could be found in the surrounding.

Adam took the seat since the tournament was still deciding on the pairing while in this round top 32 will be decided from the judge's decision and trainer's performance, that is the reason why choosing who should fight who was difficult for the judges.

Lena found Adam behaving as usual and was thankful for him not to show her any worry, since her butler told her, about how those three came to trouble Adam and it was due to her, Lena knew that Adam was a clever person, and it was not hard for him to deduce, why those three troubling him.

Even so, he did not even speak to her about that, and in her eyes, it was very thoughtful of Adam, given he must have thought of not troubling her during the tournament. Even though Adam did not think that did, to begin with, but Beauty in thought can be more beautiful than anything.

That was the reason why Adam did not trouble her with those things, where Adam did not even realize that the favorable impression of Lena was growing up at a tremendous rate.

Ria was a keen girl, and she was able to tell that the girl in front of her was having a very good impression of Adam, which was not something good at all, since, at a period like this where the tournament was at its peak.

This favorable impression can take the qualitative leap if Adam's performance was aspiring, which Adam will have that what Ria believe, can change into something troublesome feeling for Adam and especially a thorn for her path.

Where Ria knew she won't lose in case of feeling for Adam, where Adam who was not aware of anything, was silently looking at the competitors and their names, with the recorded video of their fight he was collecting as much as data he could.

Finally, the selection was made and Adam found his name in front of Corent boy, he was the trainer with Misten, which is the first stage of Mistif and Adam was this time planning on taking Scarlet out for a battle.

The guy seemed to be anxious but when he looked at Ms.Ball, which wasn't that of Charle's one, he reveal a confident smile as he thought that the guy was underestimating him, where he was not aware that when compared to physical and Barrage of attack, even Charle's was not a match for Scarlet at all. The opponent was going to be shocked and after the soul marking he implanted, it would be the first time he would see the combat power of Scarlet.

According to the analysis of Adam. The Soul Marking was something which have both Passive and Active power, in passive both Charle's and Scarlet got a little physical boost but a tremendous change in controlling their elemental powers.

According to the analysis, he was able to figure out that if before the soul mark, Scarlet were to use poison Jab she would have to use around 7% to 8% of energy, but after the Soul Mark, they only needed 1% to 2% of it at the current stage.

Where Charle's what's the scariest one because he was able to learn an elemental controlling ability, which he should have learned after evolving to stage 2 of his evolution. Not only that but Charle's is also able to use it, but only 3 times at the most.

Scarlet also learned the same but she is only able to use it once, on the condition where she did not waste any energy before and after it she would be exhausted, Adam was not in the favor to use it during the tournament, and Scarlet physical barrage with Poison jab, which will be enough to knock out most of the opponents, without giving them any chance to retaliate. Adam smiled as he looked at the opponent of his first match, as he was standing on the right corner of the stage and was holding Scarlet Ms. Ball and Charles was standing by Adam's side, without showing any intention ongoing to battle.

Adam took the Ms. Ball and threw it in the air, with a spin it rotated and opened with which a light beam shout out of it and a spatial movement appeared where Scarlet came out of it, most of the people were looking at the match ponder, since the Monster Adam called out was a pointed and does not seems to be special, but they could not help but reconsider looking at Adam confidence smile.

From the beginning of the competition, no one was able to pull out the best of this trainer, that is why the Adams image seems to be quite mysterious to them when Corent eyes revealed a particular glint and a weird smile.

"Hmm! Fan of Ria or Lena huh!" Adam was able to guess out most of it, while he was thinking of giving the person in front of him a good bashing, to make the other realize that he was not someone to be trifled with, after all, how good he can be as a detective, there was a limit to everything and this was his limit.

To make sure that they won't target him, which it seemed had already started 'They seem to have worked with the committee and the opponent I will be facing should be from the fan club, then I just have to make sure that each of them would get, what they were hoping to get from him.'

"Both the contestant bring out your monster, it will be two Vs two, and the time both Monster of the trainer would be unable to battle will lose this match."

"Scarlet, I am counting on you, steam off some of my anger on him through you, and remember what I have told to you. Use that and make sure the guy would remember it for sure." Adam looked at scarlet who nodded her head in conformation and revealed an angry glint and prepared herself to fight the Misten in front of her.

"Match begins."

When Scarlet dashed using Quick Attack, which was her favorite ability, and with a flash, she was right in front of Misten, who was not even able to realize what appeared in front of him, and with the bang, it was sent flying by Its trainer's side. Corent was stiff from fear when he looked at Scarlet glaring at him, he realized that Adam was aware of everything and by the look of it he was truly pissed of from their acts.

Adam looked at Cornet who was looking at him and spoke in lip language 'First and last warning, both bother messing with me, or I'll make sure, you all will be finished.' While no one was able to tell what was going on, and Cornet on the other side was well aware of the fact, what Adam was trying to convey to him. Since Cornet first Monster was sent flying, he called out another one and it seems, it was one of the common ones named

// Catterag: - It was a bug type monster which usually lives in a group of twenty, while they can use thread which had strong elastic power and stickiness to which it can choose to throw out at will, sometimes the thread also contains some poison, which helps them kill their food, by simply using stickiness to trap them.//

Adam looked at Scarlet and then thought about the way to deal with the Catterag, at which he was looking at the ground, where he was looking at the tiles end and they seemed to be same he had thought off, where he remember a battle of Fighting-type used the same move to deal with fire type moves.

He spoke to scarlet silently as Scarlet looked and nodded, if it was for before Scarlet would not have pulled something off like this, but right now with Soul Mark and passive control over her body it provides, She was sure that she would be able to pull it out easily and win it again.

Adam was not a careless one so he cast out a soul boost too, while Cornet was also doing so where the referee looked at both of them and spoke "Let the match begin."

When Scarlet felt the soul boosting her thinking and reaction speed which was connected to her Dexterity, while the world seemed to have entered slow-mo for her, wherein the audience people saw both Cornet and Adam casting soul enhancement, where Adam enhancement was faster while Catterag had spun wildly where a stream of web shot like a bullet toward Poined, while Scarlet seemed to have jumped and performed double Kick while her target was ground, which made the audience a little confused, but when the tile rose to block the web they realized the Poined target was and the roar of clamor echoed the venue.

When Scarlet heard "Use Double kick again and this time on the tile, which you have flipped." and she kicked at the ground, gaining momentum, and two heavy kicks crushed the tiles as they shoot toward Catterag at incredible momentum, Cornet was shocked but at this moment he felt excited since an idiot would not enjoy the match such as this and such an interesting and intense opponent

"Catch the stone with the thread and rotate them to send them back."

Catterag did the same while dodging while Adam smiled at that and commanded "Use quick attack and evade from the sight of the opponent." Scarlet used the quick attack and vanished from catterag sight with the help of flying debris, which was falling from above due to being sent flying at the double kick.

Scarlet reappeared and this time she was charging from above, where Catterag was unable to dodge and took the hit, which knocked it unconscious with a single move. While the match ended and the waves of applause showered for both of them, given it was truly the match worthy of their applause, Adam heard his name shouted by someone and turned to look at an unknown teenage girl.

Adam nodded for clapping for him and looked at Cornet and remember he was also one of the favorites of this tournament.

Adam walked down as he looked at the atmosphere and felt a little happy, since how long he had been waiting for this moment, finally, he stepped down and walked at the standing area for the contestant and walked over it to take a seat and enjoy the other matches, since this was deciding top 32, these matches were taking place in a single-center stadium of the venue.

Ria rushed by Adam's side and congratulated him for making it to the top 32 since those 25 who won the first match will directly enter Top 32 and the remaining will be decided on the referee and judge judgment from the replay of their matches.

The second match was also spectacular for them as everyone was clapping and encouraging them for the good match they have seen again, these matches were something not to be trifled with since both the competitor were among the top of this generation, watching the matches as they were played out in the stadium, Adam was enjoying it, one has to say that, if Adam matches always ended up as a martial art fight, others here does not have overwhelming physics and were fighting with the elemental attacks, like a fire play made up of shining leaf, burning fire, shining blue water and other elemental energy illuminating the whole battlefield.

Finally, the top 32 were decided and the final selection of the top 16 was about to start, when all of the top 32 were allowed to go and have something to eat, when Ria came hugging him from behind, Adam heart almost leaped like always. Even though he always had been resisting her advance, but from time to time, he could not help but accept how much she has grown especially from some area.

Adam looked back at Ria seriously, while Ria who got that look was confused, why Adam was looking at her like that? she could not help but ask "What happened, why are you looking at me like that. Did I do something wrong?"

Adam shook his head, As he flicked his finger at her head, saying "How many times, do I have to tell you not to cling to me, but you never listen to me huh!" As he smiled at her, seemingly he had always been in her good grace, her smile was always an inspiration for him, that is the reason why he was unable to see her the way she want him to.

On the other hand, he adores her like a real sister, Adam messes her hair and walked with her, but it was more like she was dragging him around.
