Gripping my blades I look around the room and see the cage above, the concrete walls and the dirt floor. I start formulating a plan and listen to the referees countdown, "three... two... one... Begin!" As soon as the referee finished saying the word begin I launched myself towards Michael's lackey and slid through his legs as I slash at both of his Achilles tendons. As my momentum slowed I threw myself forward and landed on my hands only to push up into the are as to avoid Michael's swing towards me.
Landing on my feet, Michael and I lock eyes, while simultaneously Mr lackey collapses. Michael's eyes wander to his lackey but they snap back instantly, however in that instant I had kicked up a lot of dust that at the moment hung in the air. Concealing my presence I crawl over to Michael who has his guard up to an unnaturally high state.
As the cloud of dust starts to settle I see Michael closing his eyes. Thinking that he is letting his guard down I consider charging at him. However, my instincts shout at me to stay down. Listening to my instincts I stay down and observe as the air forms a ring around Michael's waist after forming the air quickly shot out. Realising I would have probably died, I once again thank my instincts. After the wind ring shot out I charged at Michael who, seeing my charge clicked his tongue as he chanted out loud this time, "Oh wind, heed my call, I wish to borrow your power once again, make me light and fast so that all my enemies can see of me are blurs. For I am Michael Gaza!"
After the embarrassing chant Michael's legs began to glow as he charged at me and slashed his blade in the air forming a white light that shot towards me. After dodging his slash he appears next to me and slams his sword into my gut launching me next to Mr lackey seeing him on the ground and struggling to get up I use this opportunity to buy myself time so I go over to point my blade at his neck as the referee calls, "Elimination from team Gaza, fighters please wait as healers will be dispatched to carry the eliminated fighter off the practice grounds."
Realising this was a plan to buy time Michael, in a provocative tone, shouts, "Coward, can't you fight properly instead of all these cheap tricks!" Listening to his provocation I say, "If you're too dumb to understand let me spell it out for you, with good enough tactics anyone can beat any odds. If you consider me concealing myself and buying time 'cheap' then the same could be said for your magic the only difference is that you could use tactics while I can't use magic although maybe you're feeble brain is too small to process tactics. If that's the cases I humbly apologise." As soon as my words left my mouth Michael glowed red as he boomed, "BASTARD YOU MOCK ME! LET ME TEACH YOU WHERE YOU BELONG THEN YOU CAN TAKE THIS LESSON TO THE GRAVE!" Once again noting he is obsessed with the idea of killing, I say to provoke him further, "Try me I'll see what a little pea brain is capable of. But I'm afraid that little breeze magic of yours couldn't muster enough strength to move a feather let alone do anything to me." Feeling incongruous I hear his next words, "Don't worry I don't plan to use wind magic again, instead I'll burn you to ashes with flames!"
Finally noticing the red that I assumed was his anger is actually energy my mind begins to race, trying to figure out what to do only to realise, 'Fuck I can't do anything, I'll be hit if it's an AOE attack and if he uses a concentrated attack chances are he won't fire unless the shot is guaranteed. My only chance is surviving the attack and countering when his guard is down.' Resolved for the pain to come I wait for his attack as he chants, "Oh fire, Lend me your power to burn my enemies to ashes, Lend me your ever growing flames to spread across this field, Allow me to use the heat of the volcanos to cover this ground in destruction, For I am Michael Gaza! Eruption!"
As his chant ends the ground begins to shake as cracks begin to form and lava shoots from each of these cracks. Realising how bad this is I charge towards Michael as a cruel smile appears on his face at the same time as I come in contact with a red barrier that blows me away lodging me into the concrete wall surrounding the field. Seeing the lava I get back up to fight but realise my body is clad in my own blood smiling I shout with a strange glint appearing in my eyes, "THIS IS A FIGHT COME AT ME FUCKER!" As my words drop I pounce on Michael's position ready to die.
Seeing my reckless charge Michael's face shows a cruel smile. Almost simultaneously two women's voices shout, "Stop the fight he's won!" the two voices belong to mother and Teacher Flos. Seeing nothing changed mother shouted, "Levi stop this before you die!" While teacher shouts, "Michael as Levi is now you can't beat him, we need the adults to reign him in!" As her words were heard by everyone Flos elaborates, "He has the limit break skill his strength has surpassed normal limits!" As a cold sweat appears on even Lord Rex's back the referee is about to call the match a draw when both Michael and I yell, "All of you, SHUT THE FUCK UP, this is our fight stay out of it!" Gaining a new found respect for each other we smiled competitively towards each other.
However such feelings were short lived as in the next second I smashed through his barrier and continued towards Michael grab his face and imbed it into the wall causing Michael to fall unconscious. Not satisfied I call out for my next opponent. All the nobleman look at each other when an old gentleman in what looked to be a Beast Folk robe and a sword in the style of the Beast Folk. After the old gentleman steps out he lands opposite me and I can see his well kept beard and white hair while two wolf ears rest atop his head with two horns adorning his forehead his skin colour was a dark brown and he was clearly half-demon half-beast folk. His robe was brown with purple mixed in and so was the scabbard of his sword. After sizing him up I realise he looks like a samurai.
After brushing the dirt off of his robes the man said, "It seems you've let yourself get carried away. Allow me Laus Virtus to cool that hot head of yours before you lose it." Hearing his challenge I charge at the old man and when I got within a couple meters my field of vision flashed and I was looking up at the cage. Realising I was on my back I get up and see the old man in the exact same position as before this time I charge at him from behind and again my vision flashes as I again stare up at the cage. Getting up again I charge and end up on the floor again. This repeated for an hour yet the old man has seemingly not moved at all. Once I calmed down I passed out from exhaustion.
Once I awoke it was the late evening and most of the guests had left. Realising I was just fighting Michael I tried thinking back on what had happened as a cold sweat dripped down my back as I remember my and Michael's words that were directed at my mother and teacher Flos. Feeling a sense of danger, I rushed out of bed and climbed toward the window. When bars of ice appeared around me as a cold voice sounded, "Levi what's the rush you and me need to chat!" Turning around I see mother with a calm, almost serene look on her face.
For the next hour mother personally reeducated me on the ten rules of survival. Rule one, don't disobey mother. Rules two through ten are inconsequential if rule one is followed. After my 'lesson' I was lead to the dining room where Teacher Flos, father who had a pitying expression on his face and three other surprising guests waited. Those three guests were Lady Evangeline, Lord Rex and the geezer from before. As if he could read my mind the geezer said, "Watch it brat, old gentleman is preferred, old man is acceptable but geezer is not acceptable." With shock on my face he continued, "After years of teaching that bone head father of yours do you really think I wouldn't be able o read his thoughts from his face? Since you're pretty much the same as him expression wise your just a book in a slightly different language to him, I can still read you."
Noting he was fathers teacher my gaze passed over the other two guests who remained. As if some kind of translator the geezer said, "He's wondering what relationship you two have with his family."
Hearing his words Evangeline the usually cool beauty rushed over to me, with a desperate and resentful look on her face, as she brought me into he embrace and said, "Mars! Why didn't you let him know that I'm his auntie! I get that our surnames are different but we're still the children of Archangel Barachiel, so you should treat your big sister properly!" As the two started arguing. I, still in the embrace of her large bosom, start suffocating after not too long. When trying to pry myself free I realised that my strength doesn't even equate to enough to let her know I want to be let go of. Panicking I start trying to tap out and after a while the geezer said to interrupt the bickering angels, "You can argue anytime but it seems that you're suffocating the poor boy Evangeline."
Hearing his words Evangeline quickly repositions me as if holding a teddy bear and says in a baby voice, "Auntie is sooooooo sorry Levi, you're Daddy was because nasty to Auntie so Auntie did that accidentally, can you ever forgive her?" Due to her tone annoying me I said, "Not if you talk to me like that Lady Evangeline." Saying that I instantly felt regret when Auntie squeezed me tight and still in her baby voice said, "Sorry little Levi I didn't hear that would you care to repeat that?" Having been given the chance to go back on my choice I said in a submissive manner, "Dads an idiot, it's expected that he said or did something insensitive if anyone is to be blamed it would be him not you Auntie." As the pressure released I let out a sigh of relief when Auntie said, "I'm so glad you forgive me little Levi and I agree it was your fathers fault."
Once Auntie finished introducing herself I still remained in her arms when mother introduced Lord Rex and said, "Levi this is Rex Calidus, he is your grandfather and is actually an azure dragon." Hearing the bombshell I get stunned for a second when he steps forward and says, "It's good to finally meet you young Levi. As your mother said I'm your grandfather. I hope that we can get along in the future." Seeing a kind smile appear on his face I can't help but laugh inside due to him being such a kind man even though he was supposed to be a dragon.
After introductions were out the way teacher Flos said, "Ok Levi we're all here to bear witness to your full parameters once you're magic is unsealed so we can all see what skills and parameter distribution you have. I will say this though, since you were only a year old I've known that the likelihood of you being a great spell caster in the future is quite high. Also I believe you likely have more skills that were either unknown to you or required magic to activate being why I couldn't inspect them with your magic sealed or in general."
Finishing her words teacher Flos had me take off my shirt then drew some of my blood and at the same time a glint flashed through both of Evangeline's and Rex's eyes seeing my blood. Then teacher Flos started drawing a pattern on my back with my blood. Once she finished a large pressure exploded from my body and the system appeared in front of me.
