Chapter 36 : The Guild Tournament (CLOSE COMBAT) 6.

"I lived a happy life filled with love from my wife and son." A giant figure that resembles a man without an arm sat beside another man, but this other man was small in size and had a long brown beard that occupied his face.

"Until that day came, where I lost everything I loved." The giant man slowly teared up, he is trying his best to keep his emotions in check.

"Hmm...Jotaro little lad don't cry. I can see your soul, it is as pure as one can be. A man that killed his family would have a corrupted soul. They are probably watching over you! Never lose hope little lad, who knows maybe one day you'll see them again!" The small man with a huge beard stood up. dragging on the ground his beard, he came closer to Jotaro and gave him a warm hug.

"Thank you, mister dwarf..." Jotaro hugged back his new dwarf friend. He felt relieved to talk out his emotions with someone. To push away this burden of self-hate, even if it was with an NPC from a game. To him, this experience meant everything in the world.

-BACK IN THE ARENA-

Mystic was in shock. He believed that he was on the winning side, but right now Jotaro was standing in front of him. The fact that he had such a heavy sword in his mouth was shocking enough for him to start overthinking in his head.

Jotaro dashed in front of Mystic, luckily for Jotaro Mystic was lost in thought. Taking the opportunity he was given, Jotaro used his personal skill he trained for this tournament.

"Black thrust" A black lighting coated the two long swords in Jotaro's possession, it was too late for Mystic to dodge, thrusting his longswords at Mystic, he blew up half of the arena. It was like a false black hole eating anything in its way. And once the smoke went down, everyone stared at Mystic's side. He was in a bad state. His arm was eaten, and his chest had a huge hole in it. Everyone thought that this was it, such a powerful secret move could not be defended.

"You fucker, why didn't you warn me about the attack!?" A furious mystic glared at his coin in anger.

"Idiotic Master, if you don't have the self-awareness to not get lost in your thoughts against an opponent in a one-against-one fight, then you might as well just give your soul away for free." The coin smirked with its response. He wanted his master to grow stronger, and if the coin constantly helps him, the coin will only end up creating a cheating weakling.

"Amazing, he got hit!" Jotaro rejoiced when he noticed that his attack worked out. He was walking slowly, being prepared to eliminate Mystic from this round.

"Fuck, I have only two ways out of this..."Mystic angrily stared at Jotaro.

[Tails : 30 % chance

Heads : 70 % chance.]

"Heads.." Before the Jotaros sword landed on Mystic, he answered.

[!Failure!

New class has been deleted.]

"What...Impossible." Yet mystic managed to escape being beheaded, not for free. He lost his other arm, but he managed to escape his scenario despite losing the chances of class change.

"Do it again you stupid coin." Mystic was angered that he was losing, even tho he had such advantages over his opponent.

[Tails : 50 % chance

Heads : 50 % chance.]

"Damn my life. I choose Heads." Mystic answered barely, holding onto his life.

[Congratulations you have answered correctly.

Job : Human Bomb.

Your stats are being changed.]

"Sadly, you are still holding on to your life. Just give up." Jotaro pities his opponent Mystic.

In response Mystic just smiled. "Sacrifice my kidney and both of my legs." Mystic said under his breath.

[Understood, accumulated 85% of health.]

"Hello, dear friend.~" Mystic smiled mockingly at Jotaro, hugging him from behind his back tightly. Both of his legs glowed in light blue color.

"How did you-" Jotaro was surprised, but before he could finish his question he got blown up.

Everybody watched in terror, Mystic blew himself up and made a huge explosion. He was laying on the ground without both of his legs and arms laughing like a maniac.

[- 856 HP]

A red warning bar appeared in front of Jotaro. His personal skill has taken 13 percent of his health. He is hanging on two percent now. But because of having a huge hole in the center of his chest, he can't move.

"It's a draw?" One of the audience asked. Causing everyone to start booing in the arena of dissatisfaction. They wanted to see the true victor of this fight.

"Silence." Leo said in a calm voice. Everyone in the arena froze once they heard him, even Mystic stopped laughing.

"Since both competitors did their very best, it is up to me to decide who's the victor in this clash." Leo looked at the crowd who looked dissatisfied with the result with a small smile.

"But that would be too selfish from me. So I will throw a coin in the air, and if it lands on tails the winner is Jotaro, but if it lands on heads the winner is Mystic." Leo explained the rules to everyone, and as he finished his explanation he threw the coin in the air. Everyone stared precisely at the coin that was coming down on Leo's palm.

"It is tails. The winner is Jotaro!" Leo spoke loudly as if he did not just cheat the entire coin flip using his mana. As soon as the match started Leo set his eyes on Jotaro because in his previous life there was nobody from the berserker's origins that became a powerful being. The public clapped at the winner for winning his match and some for the efforts of the loser. In the public's eyes, Jotaro won by pure luck.

[Authors note: Hello it's me, the Author. You may wonder where I've been for around a month now. Tbh a lot has happened. I was moving to another country and caught covid in the airport. For around 3 weeks I was dying you guys. I couldn't focus on the story and decided take a break once I'm healthy.. Do you guys love the tournament arc with the short scenes of backstories of competitors? Or should I skip the tournament if it's boring? Thank you again for your time and I hope you will forgive me for my absence!]
