Chapter 2
on the first day of the tournament, I was told to kill myself and make my opponent's job easy. with rage flowing through every vein boiling me from the inside out, I moved ahead to the waiting room. I was the first round they did it on my behalf so it would be over quickly.
in the waiting room, I started to let my anger trade-off into nervousness, I started shaking and shivering. as butterflies rose throughout my body. I shut the feeling down and looked in the mirror I had my eye, hopefully, it's good enough to win.
then over the intercom, the announcer spoke saying that the first match is about to begin in a hoarse old voice. I walked into the prep room and grabbed the rubber katana that they had given as a sparring weapon. then it, something powerful, was imprinted in my thoughts it was my abilities. right now all I need is 2 of the 4 the martial art and main skill. my main skill was imprinted as blink, the ability to travel up to 100 yards in one second. the martial art aikido, the art of taking your opponent's momentum and using it against them.
we were told to walk out on the playing field. and get ready. I raised the sword and got into stance. My opponent was a white male, who looked overly confident in his appearance and skill. the words "ready, set, start" echoed through the arena, he immediately released his skill and rushed me I was confused and startled, I then realized his ability is some kind of water control as a Spear of water pierced my hand breaking the katana handle.
as I was focused on the katana in hand shattering I didn't realize he was closing the gap between us. and then I received a punch to the gut and I flew back a couple of feet with blood going up my throat and out my mouth, the taste of copper and iron made me furious and I lost control.
My left eye opened and in that instant, I moved so fast towards my opponent that he couldn't comprehend what had happened. and just like that, the crowd was silent in awe and wonder. The match was over, everyone in surprise, I was victorious.
