“In the first stage of the contest, you will be fighting in duos. The total number of contestants is 48, so you would be put into four different groups and duo partners would have to battle duo opponents in their groups. This is the group stage and the two duos from each group with the best result would proceed to the next stage.”“To win, both opponents should either be rendered unconscious or give up. Natural weapons and magic of all kinds are accepted. You would be allowed to meet and discuss with your partner 30 minutes before your match begins. That would be all for now.”The voice stopped there as Art let out a sigh.'So they’re keeping us in the dark on who our partners are until shortly before the match. That’s not very nice.Thirty minutes won’t be enough to get to know how to sync with your partner’s ability much less come up with a strategy. And we also have to be careful not to give much information to our partners as they can end up as our enemies later on.’A smile appear

The person displayed as his teammate was someone he was familiar with. She was Jasmine. The person who had approached him after his defeat by Iris. According to his ranking, she was previously number 4 which made him happy as she was strong enough to help with his play.The reason he referred to it as his ranking was because he was the one who made it up. There was nothing official about it. But he was sure that he was right unless there were more anomalies like Tess who isn’t able to release her true ability for certain reasons.He wondered what kind of face his partner would be making. ********************************Jasmine stared at the screen in front of her with eyes filled with disbelief and parted lips. How? Just how was she stuck with someone like him? She calmed herself down, panicking wasn’t going to help her. She needed to come up with a strategy for them to fight. Shortly after, they got teleported into a different room. Art stared at the bracelet on his hand con

“Vwooooooom,”“Zoooooooom!!”They both hurtled towards each other and a few meters apart, they swung their swords which made a clang upon impact and JV took two steps backwards showing already who had the upper hand in strength. JV who couldn’t accept this sent out many more slashes but Art succeeded in blocking every single one and when he got an opening, he swung his sword towards JV’s neck without putting too much effort but when JV blocked, it felt quite heavy so he decided to duck avoiding Art’s dagger which he stabbed towards him but he failed to notice Art’s feet which were being raised towards his face. He ended up kissing Art’s boots while staggering backwards with blood trailing from his lips. “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me that’s all you’ve got?” Art smirked teasingly. Everyone watching this was gob-smacked especially the Vons who were even frozen in shock. From this short exchange, Art was proven stronger than JV. When did someone who was so pitiful gain strength of thi

Everyone watched as Art made them suffer drastically. He made sure not to hit their vital organs so as not to get the officials involved but right now, he had to stop. If he continued, he would be considered someone cruel, heartless, or even a psychopath.Not that he cared about their opinion of him, but it wasn’t a good idea for people to think of him like that with his current strength. So even though he wasn’t satisfied, he had to let them off. He stared at their bloodied body along with some broken bones which was barely conscious for some seconds before shaking his head.He was about to walk away when he remembered something so he turned and spat on Jv’s face then proceeded to walk away. The whole arena watched him in silence with a smile forming on the face of a silver-haired and yellow-eyed lady. Jasmine subconsciously stepped back as he walked past her without sparing a glance. She was glad that this was their last match together as she didn’t believe she could fight comfor

Several people captured the attention of the spectators and they were excited to see them matched up against each other. The previous match between the two girls was one of them but it wasn’t still as hyped up as the match which was about to happen. The name of one of the contestants was Charles Von Silver, someone who had displayed great potential and strength in the group stage with probably more hidden away.His opponent was the person besides Art who intrigued and surprised the crowd the most. He seemed as though he was going to collapse any second from now and this was how he has been in all his matches but somehow, he pulled through all of them. His name is Sil Li Silver. Charles stared at his opponent who kept yawning warily. He was someone intelligent and made sure to gauge his opponents and among all the contestants he had deemed only a few a threat to him with the boy in front of him being one of them.~Yawn~Sil’s m
