Fight

None of them moved as the fight began. Both Adrian and the other guy was sizing each other up. Adrian's opponent was from the worst noble family, so he should not be that strong to be honest. He was a tall and slim guy, and he was using two daggers as his weapons. He musty be some kind of an assassin.

"Tell me your name, I don't destroy nameless people!" The other guy looked at Adrian with an arrogant gaze. He was sure that Adrian would lose to him.

"Quite arrogant for a guy from the worst family" Adrian giggled a little while saying this. The other guy had tried to provoke Adrian into doing something stupid, too bad for him that Adrian saw through it.

"Does that mean I will lose??" His arrogant gaze slowly disappeared and slowly turned into anger. He did not like that someone said that his family was the worst. This year was the year that he would bring honor to the family.

Adrian just looked at him with a smile. It seemed like Adrian had made his opponent angry, which meant that Adrian would have an easier time to predict his moves. Anger usually clouded judgement.

It went just as Adrian wanted, as the other guy dashed straight at him. Adrian's smile widened, before he also dashed into the guy. The guy with the daggers, stabbed straight at Adrian's face, but Adrian ducked, while sweeping his legs, towards the guy with the daggers. Adrian hit him, as the guy fell to the ground.

Adrian could have ended the fight, but he didn't want to, so he stepped back. Adrian did not intent to humiliate him, he just wanted to fight for longer. The family of the guy though, saw this as pure humiliation, as they looked at sir Harlace. If looks could kill, sir Harlace would have been dead a thousand times.

When the guy with the daggers stood back up, his face was pure anger. He wanted to kill Adrian by now. What surprised Adrian though, was that the other guy suddenly disappeared into thin air. Adrian could not see him, or feel him for that matter.

Suddenly the guy appeared behind Adrian, with his daggers moving rapidly towards Adrian's back. What he didn't expect though, was that before the daggers could hit, Adrian had already turned around, and kicked him in the face. The dagger guy was sent flying for a few meters, before landing on the ground.

Adrian had to thank his skill 'instinct' for this. He had used the last two weeks training this skill a lot. It was a skill he knew would be useful in these fights. He had also trained other skills, but the main skill he trained was 'instinct.'

The dagger guy got up once again. To be honest, Adrian was quite surprised this guy hadn't given up yet, he didn't mind it though, since this meant he could fight for longer.

The fight went on for another ten minutes. Adrian dominated the fight. The other guy's face had started to swell from all the punches and kicks. All the spectators thought that it looked quite cruel. Even the judge there had started to feel bad for the kid with the daggers.

Adrian also started to think that he should end this. Just as Adrian was about to end the fight, A cruel laugh came from the assassin. He got up very quickly, and hit Adrian. Adrian was sent flying for meters, before he landed on his feet to look at the dagger guy.

The dagger guys face had turned back to normal, but instead of a normal skin color though, his skin had turned completely red, with small cracks in it. His aura had also changed a lot, he had a massive amount of killing intent, to the extent that even Adrian felt a little suffocated.

If you looked at the VIP stand now, you could see that both the kings Advisor, and all the noble men behind him had started to stand up and send orders out. They knew what was happening to this kid and they wanted to stop it before anything went wrong.

What is happening now, is that the kid had been training in a cursed technique. People can normally control these techniques, but if you hit a certain peak of some emotion, you will lose control of the technique.

This guy had been so angry, that he lost his control of the technique, which meant that he would get tremendous strength, but he would go on a killing spree.

"Stop! Everyone, get back to your seats!" The king yelled out, he made all the nobles look at him with weird looks, the advisor had seen what the king wanted though. "Let us see what this kid has got" He gave a small smile, while he was looking at Adrian.

All the nobles looked at each other with wry smiles, they could not really go against the kings orders. Besides, they assured themselves that the kid would be safe, since the monk was still there, looking over the fight.

Back at the battle stage, Adrian was getting excited. This guy had an insane strength boost and Adrian would have to fight seriously now. Adrian released his killing and battle intent now, and it removed all the daggers guys killing intent. He could now start moving freely again.

Adrian dashed straight at the dagger guy, with his spear in front of him. It was like when a horsemen charged with a spear in hand. The dagger guy narrowly avoided the spear, while slashing his dagger at Adrian.

Adrian could not avoid the dagger, so he took the hit to the shoulder, while he punched the dagger guy in the guts. Adrian stood still, with a wound to the shoulder, while the dagger guy was sent flying ten meters.

He landed on his feet and as soon as that happened, he disappeared. Adrian was on high alert and he was prepared to react to 'instinct.' 'Instinct' told him that the dagger guy would appear to the right site, so he turned there.

As he turned, he felt a dagger stabbing into his back. 'instinct' was actually not correct for once. This surprised Adrian a lot. Adrian gave it a lot of thought, either the skill was wrong, or the dagger guy moved so fast, that the skill did not pick it up.

Adrian turned around as soon as he felt the dagger though, and slashed his spear from the top down to the head of the dagger guy. He was surprised at Adrian's fast reactions, which meant that Adrian hit him. He hit the shoulder though, sine the dagger guy moved his body to the side.

As the dagger guy was hit on the shoulder, he fell to his knees. He was hit so hard that even the ground was cracking like a spider web underneath his feet. Before the dagger guy could get back up, Adrian chose to use a roundhouse kick, to knock him flying for a few meters.

The dagger guy was now laying on the ground, at the edge of the arena. He was bleeding quite a bit. He had lost consciousness and his skin was turning back to normal. He looked quite miserable.

Adrian went over to him, to check if he was still alive. Fortunately he was, so Adrian called for the medics that was there. He was not a monster that would let a guy, who just lost control. die.

Adrian was not in a good shape either. He had a deep cut at his shoulder, and a dagger protruding in his back. He was in a huge amount of pain, that he did not feel as he was fighting.

The medics came over to him as well, to see if he was in any mortal danger. As they saw it was just some flesh wounds, they took him to the infirmary, to get him patched up and healed for his next fight.

Sir Harlace was quite surprised by this whole ordeal. He hurried down to the infirmary too, to see how Adrian was doing. He felt responsible for this, since he was the one that hired Adrian to fight in the tournament.

"Hey kid, you alright there?" Sir Harlace saw that Adrian was laying in a bed.

"Yeah, I am fine!" Adrian just replied a little, he didn't really like laying in this bed. He wanted to go back out there.

"Good, then why are you slacking here?" Sir Harlace looked at Adrian with a small grin, trying to cheer up the mood a little.

"Because he needs to recover!" A nurse came in from behind sir Harlace, taking his joke seriously. "He has a deep cut to the shoulder, and a dagger in the back, he is in no shape to fight!" The nurse did not intent to send Adrian out there just yet.

"ADRIAN!?! ARE YOU OKAY?"
