The First Blood

The fight started, Kaelens teammates rushing in using everything they possessed, one was a healing mage and the other one a assassin which worked really well together but they were far weaker than the guys from Room 6 and 7 visibly, the Brute from Room 6 charged towards them already, his support mage supporting him from a far as the guy with voids worked from all the way behind, he was controlling the field working out of shadows would people would say. It was weird because Kaelen just stood holding his katana staring down the fight, doing nothing but silently observing.

"That's weird I would've thought he would be the first to engage and just finish this quickly, not stand there and observe." Ravien said now standing up to watch the fight, he seemed inpatient to learn about Kaelen and whatever he could do. "No, Kaelen won't do that. Not until he has a reason to fight anyways." Silas said still taking in all the information he could see on the battlefield, he was a Genius, he was the mind of our team. "So both of you guys are Weirdos? Great.." Ravien said irritated by Silas and of his failed attempt to learn more about Kaelens movement and powers. The fight was at a high pace, brute mostly just swinging his axe and the assassin abusing his speed moving around him as the healing mage struggled to not let the Void guy control the field with his abilities, but then a mistake occurred. The assassin miscalculated the landing of Brute's axe, getting caught in the swing impact and flying over the whole battlefield getting slammed into the wall.

"That was a big shot, he might be dead from that" I thought, looking at the battlefield to see what would happen as the guy tremblingly got up, he was shaking as he got up or at least tried to. He was holding his katana, his hand shaking so much he barely held it. "I can still fight you big Gorilla" he exclaimed, his voice almost crying and trembling in fear as the Brute and teammates laughed and mocked him. "There's nothing you can do little one, accept your fate but I'll let you live so you can watch your strongest guy get his head cut off by me as well" the Brute said laughingly as he picked up his axe, looking at Kaelen. Then as if it was a button, that aura I felt a few hours ago in the bar it was there again. It was spreading through the arena and it wasn't at a slow pace at all. Brute laughed as he walked towards the Healing mage that was on the side of Kaelen and he just stared him down. Kaelen emotionless as always as the Brute spoke "Hm? The so-called strongest is standing here like he's scared not doing anything, come on little guy fight me" He said mockingly, almost like trying to make Kaelen show any emotion and to lash out but no, Kaelen still without a word.

"The guy is making the biggest mistake of his life, he will be dead in a few seconds at this pace, if i was him i would be leaving the arena now." Silas said exhausted as he stretched, like getting ready to go fight right now. "Better get ready guys, it's our fight next and it's gonna be soon." He said with a grin still stretching out "What do you mean? They're still fighting there, we have time." Ravien said, his eyes locked on the battlefield. "Just watch." Silas said as he looked over to Kaelen.

"You're right" Kaelen's voice was cold as ice while he stared down the Brute. "No point in dragging this out any longer." He said now taking his katana in his right hand and starting to move, but it wasn't any ordinary moving it was, out of this world.

A step, then a loud boom and smoke as the Brute fell, another step the void creatures disappeared screaming as if seeing Hell itself and then another step for Kaelen and all the shields just disappeared from the battleground. He needed 3 steps to end 2 lifes as the Void guy in the background tried to get up, Kaelen turned around with a kick hitting him in the head, now coming to stand over the guy. "You're still breathing? Fix that." Kaelen said as he stabbed the guy directly on the forehead leaving all 3 of them dead on the spot.

[Team Kaelen move to the next round, casualties on their team:0. All 3 members move on.]

The announcer said, the whole arena was left silent, including me and Ravien as well, "I did tell you guys to watch, so i hope you watched carefully cause if you didnt you would've missed perfection" Silas said putting on his hand sleeve as he walked got up already walking towards stairs.

"That was.." Ravien said , not continuing like out of words. "Not normal? Yeah i thought that too" I added following Silas, as we made our way downstairs Kaelen's team passed us, he was back to being the boring emotionless Kaelen how he always was but whatever that was on the battlefield, it wasn't normal it's like a demon took over. We already knew he possessed all abilities from every house because he was a hybrid but we didn't expect him to fight like a demon.

"Well who cares about that second weirdo, we have to slaughter these fuckers now" Ravien said, sharpening his dagger as Silas stood behind us. We will fight like we practiced, let Silas control the Arena as Ravien and I run through them. Our opponents stood already there lined up, 2 mages and an assassin. It sounded like a good combination but lack of control will eat them once we begin with the tactic.

"Dont fuck up weirdo, we sadly rely on you in the beginning." Ravien said as he put his dagger in his back pocket already tapping in the shadow form as Silas chuckled "Trust me i wont, take the fighter mage out first, let the healing one live without the fighter they won't be able to poke me out from the far" I glanced over towards them "Well then they're already lined up, time to take their heads and pass to the next Challenge, that's it" I said as i stepped a little towards them.

"Finally speaking like a leader, you're learning,copycat" Ravien said with a chuckle as he looked at them "Well then let's finish this already" he added as he went into the fighting stance.

The bell rang and we started moving, shadows becoming our spot as Silas unleashed few creatures that bring shadows through the whole arena helping us move and execute the plan, i saw Ravien moving towards the fighting mage, looking bloodlusted like he was just waiting to cut the guys head off of his shoulders.

He left the shadows flying at him, Fighting mage just got out in time, dagger brushing against his shoulder as Ravien started hysterically laughing "Fuck you seem like you know how to move little mage" he said taunting him. I then took my chance against the assassin but he was high on mobility and dodged the attack with ease trying to stab me but i knocked his knife out of his hand before he could, he kicked me in my stomach sending me back but then one of Silas's creatures caught me saving me from hitting the wall. Time for try 2 of execution was now starting as I glanced over to Ravien and nodded as both of us entered shadow form and ran up the wall. This time, we won't fail. We won't have mercy , neither will our daggers
