Fights

We didn't get to see the fights while waiting for our turn. It's probably to not give information to our opponents. Two guys have already left but not returned. I was still waiting for my turn. I didn't care about the people in my room, I wouldn't have to fight against them, that would be stupid.

-Caleb step inside.

It was finally my turn, I got up from my empty corner and walked inside. When I got back to the arena it was not as crowded as before. Arena was as big as a football field but instead of goals there were doors that led to the arena.

I took my sword out but at that moment.

-This will be a normal 1 vs 1 but fatally injuring your opponent will get you disqualified.

I put my sword back in my sheath getting some yells from the crowd spectating. My opponent didn't look that happy for my actions. I didn't care and got ready to attack the moment I had gained permission.

-FIGHT, START!

Host yelled that fight was now starting, I directed mana to my feet and started running. I got to my opponent in a couple of seconds and he wasn't ready for that kind of speed. He tried to dodge my slash but lost balance.

While he was falling, I kicked him and he flew out of the arena. The crowd was silent. I quickly got back to my room and went back.

Others in my room looked surprised but didn't ask anything and I went back to my corner.

After a while everyone had gone to a fight from our room. Four others survived meaning that half of the people from my room were defeated.

-Caleb

It seemed that second round was starting, I stepped inside, and everything was the same, there were some blood on the ground but nothing else.

Now my opponent was a human, a woman. She seemed like 17 years old and had a sword. I again took only my sheath and got to my stance. She also took my action as disrespect and not as mercy.

She also took her own stance, and we were ready to start.

-You guys already know the rules, SO LET'S BEGIN!!!

I again controlled my mana to my feet and ran towards my opponent with great speed, she however didn't seem as much surprised as my fist opponent. When I tried to slash her

In the opposite side of me was a beasman, looked to be around sixteen meaning he could have his core awakened. I took my first parts stance and was ready to run and attack. I tried the same as before but this time she blocked it and tried to push me away.

But I responded to her block by kicking her other side. She blocked it with her hand but my strength was better, so she took a little bit of hit from my attack. I didn't want to let her rest, so I tried to strike her straight in the middle, she again blocked it.

I stopped my attack and returned to a safe distance from her. She was sweating and already looked exhausted. I was still fine; I had mostly used mana on my attack and I can gather it back with great speed.

Normal magicians need to relax for a moment to recharge their mana, I can do it while moving and getting it through my skin. I had many advantages over her, but she still seemed to not forfeit.

I again did like before, controlled my mana to my feet but now also my hands. I launched my again, it was the same as before, but I now had more power. She tried to counter it like before but with my increased power, she couldn't block it and only flew few meters away and landed on her back.

When she tried to get up, I was already there with my sword on her neck.

-I give up.

She was almost crying but it didn't matter to me, I again started walking back to my door and to my corner.

After the second round was over there were only three guys in our room. So over half of what was after second round.

-Everyone steps inside

Now I think will be staring something different, we all got up and walked to the arena. Like the first time we were all in the middle of the arena and the host started speaking.

-Okay now everyone, as you could see if everyone fought in 1 vs 1 no all could have someone to fight with so now you can vote for the one that you think is the most powerful to skip this round.

-Every contestant has a color and with the colored buttons that you were given you need to click the button that represents the fighter that you want to skip this round.

I then noticed a blue bar above my head. And when host finished speaking, it started to fill it.

Everyone got some color in their bars but not as much as me. But one other guy also got a lot. He had almost the same as me. But I still had more. When colors stopped pouring in I had almost full bar. Other guy had like three-fourths and others from 1/5 to half.

Host then appeared in front of me and used some magic. He teleported me to a what seemed like a spectating place and left me there.

-Now the voted player is enjoying peace while these guys will start fighting.

Host clicked his fingers and the arena split into 7 arenas. Each had two contestants.

-Now let's start!

As the host announced the fights to start, everyone on their arenas started their fighting. I was during that time sitting on a chair and enjoying my time.

-I forgot to mention that for these and future fights the big guild are given seats in your spectating auditorium and can try to recruit you while you relax.

That second fourteen people appeared in the auditorium that I was in and looked around. They noticed me and tried to analyze me. They forever gave up as I didn't do anything and just went to sit down.

Now the interesting fights will start.
