John's Tournament

The Earl has gathered us all together again, something about wanting us to watch a tournament that takes place soon.

No doubt it'll just be a bunch of small fries duking it out.

Although supposedly the entire royal family will be there, it'll be good to see the tyrants we've been summoned to eliminate.

"So I want you all to watch the tournament in order to see first-hand how experienced warriors fight because as it stands, none of you could beat Arthur and his two closest aids, Merlin and Lancelot. Those three, are all a lot stronger than they let on."

The Earl pointed towards me.

"As it stands, John's the strongest of you, his stats are all around 7,500. As such I'll need you to fight in this tournament to ensure that Amon dies. Edgar will be on the opposite bracket, so that by the time it comes to the semi finals one of you will have fought and killed him."

"Is it really such a good idea to kill the Prince right in front of his parents if Arthur is really as strong as you claim."

"You don't need to worry about that, in this tournament, anything goes so long as you don't receive help from summoned beasts or outside interference. I just hope for his sake he'll end up fighting you, after all, you'll make it quick."

(POV change)

"Man I'm so jealous! You get to show the world how great we are while all I can do is sit back and watch."

I'm sat with Ben and Anne. They're the only two who'll even talk to me now. Everybody else just views me as some monster after the bandit mission.

Cameron's the worst of them all. He seriously has the balls to sit there and say there deaths could be avoided. What a joke.

"Just be careful, we may be incredibly overpowered compared to the rest of the world, but it's open to everyone and anomalies are still out there. You know, people like Magiya the Frozen Flame and Circe the Dark Saint. I've even heard of a new adventurer who can't really control his own power that people have begun calling the God of Calamity due to the amount of damage he does to the places where he fights."

"Fame isn't equivalent to power, that being said I have heard of this 'God of Calamity' Apparently he sliced apart an entire mountain in one stroke. He's seriously no joke, even I'd struggle to destroy a whole mountain."

Why are these two talking as if I'm not the main character in this world. No matter who I come against, I'll win.

"Hey, Bastard! You gonna kill everyone in that tournament?!"

And the issue's here.

"If you kill anyone other than Amon, I'll obliterate you!"

"Huh, Fuck off Cameron, I'll shag your nan."

"My Nan's dead."

"Did I stutter?"

Cameron walks off in a huff. I don't know why he approaches me if he's just going to be a dick about everything.

"Just ignore him. He's just jealous that the Earl favours you over him."

Anne pats my shoulder to console me, not that I really need it.

"Hey, so um, I'm going somewhere to do... something."

Ben seeing this quickly left. He's a good friend.
