I wake up the next morning feeling refreshed and relaxed. {What's the plan for today we only have one day left before the tournament you know}. [I know but I have a good idea]. {And what is that idea}? [You'll see]. {Why do I get the feeling you're going to do something stupid}? I put my armor on and walk outside the inn. Heading straight for the ally way I come across Joe.
[Hey Joe]. "Hello, there Crimson how are you doing today"? [Good but I wanted to ask for something]. "Oh, and what may that be"? [I want you to train me a bit in martial arts]. "I see not a problem but let's go outside the city first". I follow Joe as we walk towards the city gate. "HEY THEIRS THE KOBOLD"!
I knew those voices it was the mob from yesterday. The only difference is that today theirs more of the. and now their holding knives instead of tomatoes. Joe speaks up "Alright Crimson first lesson is to watch me. I only nod as I squirm in anticipation. "MOVE ASIDE OLD MAN". Apparently the mob didn't know who they were dealing with. Joe got into a strange stance as the mob charged at him. Immediately he put two of them in the ground. "What's with this old bastard" The mob surrounded h but any attempt to charge him failed. He got flanked by two men. The one in front slashed at him which was only nocked aside. the other attacked at an opening created by the first. I expected Joe to dodge it but not only did he manage to parry it but also knocked the man unconscious.
After a minute and a half, the entire mob laid on the ground twitching violently. [Awesome you never left a blind spot]. "Yup that's have you can fight large numbers easily, now shall we head out and practice their"? We head outside and he teaches me how to fight in two stances, one for protecting the other for attacking. As a hands-on tutorial, he had me come and attack him. I don't remember how many times I was put in the dirt and I don't think I can count that high anyway.
Dusk quickly approached. "Your doing well keep practicing hard Crimson". [Well it's thanks to you once this tournament is done do you think you can teach me how to fight better in the wait]? "You sound quite confident in your victory". [After meeting you I know that you should have been put in the next league]. "Maybe so but there might be a challenger that surprises you". [Alright but will you teach me if I win]? "If you win I'll teach you some more if you lose you owe me a drink". [That's a win-win situation for me your on]. Max screams in my mind. {WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SUCH A DANGEROUS BET YOU BETTER NOT LOSE}!
With sore muscles and a throbbing head, I make my way back to the inn. [Tomorrow is the first day of the second tournament In excited]. {Get some sleep first understand}. [Alright alright good night Max]. {Get to sleep before I bite your neck, you are not loading that bet}.
I drift off to sleep with a feeling of anticipation. I wake up the next day ready for the next tournament. {All set}? [Yeah but you seem nervous of something]. {Because I might need to make an appearance today to save you unlike last time I'd stay in the fight}. [At least your motivated]. {And who's fault is that]? I walk out the door to avoid the question. While walking out I meet Joe at the door.
"Hey Crimson good luck in the tournament". [How long have you been standing their]? I ask this since he was getting weird looks from the passerbys. "A couple of hours". [A COUPLE HOURS YOU'LL GIVE PEOPLE THE WRONG IDEA]. "Doesn't matter what people think". I envy this man's carelessness wishing I was the same. [I need to get going now see you later]. "Alright good luck".
I break into a run sprinting to the tournament grounds. [This should be a fun day]. {Yeah but you still need to be careful}. [Yeah yeah how many times will you say that you're just being a killjoy right now]. Max just lets out a long sigh. {Why do you never listen to me}?
We arrive at the stadium it's roaring with noise and music. Since the contestants are a lot stronger than the last group the fights should be more interesting. [Looks like things are about to start]. {Yeah, let's head inside}. We walk in and everybody's head turns in our direction. Gazes of murderous intent constantly pointed at us as I walk to the corner of the room. Sitting in a corner booth by myself I notice that all of the contestants now are elves dwarves and human besides me there is only one other monster.
it had an owl head with its arms full of feathers. Its legs were of a birds but it stood like a human. This was somebody from the owl man tribe. I heard about these things their very tricky and clever and their power is nothing to scoff at. [This might be quite a bit of trouble]. I smile longing to spare with these new opponents.
The announcer's voice blasts threw the room. "First two fighters Crimson and Ber. Me and the owl man both stand-up and walk to the stage. [This is bad I wanted to study his moves first]. {If only you would have listened to me, MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE AN IDEA ON WHAT TO DO}! [Geez no need to yell at me]. We both reach the stage double checking our equipment to make sure everything is ready.*Time for this fight to begin*.
