'For real?!'
The terrain that Eason ended up in was a terrain that he was most experienced with.
It was none other than the forest terrain. Eason found himself surrounded by trees with the width of half his hand. Trees had a lot of branches and leaves.
'Hmm... this is a good place for
'Now... then. First of all, I gotta keep my mouth shut because of audience.' Eason didn't forget that everyone could be watching him.
'I'm also here to have fun. So, not trying to gain fans through this event is blasphemy. Yea, even power only comes second to enjoyment.' Thought Eason while placing his hands on his waist and smiling. Eason also made sure that he was in a heroic pose like in those entertainment movies and shows.
'Now that I think about it... why do I want to gain power? Of course, it's for enjoyment. Although the true reason was because of my parents but it's undeniable that what I want in the end is enjoyment. So, four things have been confirmed in my goal list.'
'First, it's enjoyment. Secondly, it's for power and freedom. Thirdly, it's regarding the whereabouts pf my parents. Fourthly, music I guess. I still love music composition in the end.'
'Now it's time to qualify for the next round. I can't use my innate talent but that's ok. I can't get spoiled by my own innate talent.'
Eason grinned and ran in an randomn direction while activating his racial talent to check the map. Eason needed to make sure that he needed to be in a terrain where he can run freely.

Somewhere in a forest in vermory world, a man was jumping between trees by makinf very little sound. Suddenly he stopped and he started looking around.
He had two swords wrapped behind his back with fiery coloured outfit which resembled an avaces outfit. The man's name was Rai, a fighter. He was one of the peak Rank A fighters.
Rai sighed while jumping between trees to find his prey but he was of course very wary and alert while scouting.
He still couldn't forget back when he was given the opportunity to participate in this event.
//Now when **** is seen, you can think of it as reminiscing of a past event. It will be placed at the beginning and ending of the passage.//
**********
A Rank B fighter from Gremory Headquarters came few days ago and invited Rai to Virtual Training Programme.
"Because of fighters being in-experienced with avaces, all non-avascians have been given the opportunity to use this gear one day before the event could start. So, please come to gremory headquarters tomorrow. As for the fee to reach Gremory Headquarters by transportation? You just need tell your name and confirm your identity before transportation. Of course, there will be another verification of identity when you enter Gremory Headquarters as it's the capital."
"Ah, I understand. And yea sure. Why would I miss such an event? Isn't this technology's main benefitors, me and my fellow fighters? Why would I refuse? It's my honour. It's also good that we were given one day to get used to avaces." Said Rai while laughing lightly.
"Then, good luck. I hope to see you tomorrow."
**********
While Rai was reminiscing and scouting simultaneously, he suddenly found out another person's presence. Rai looked ahead and saw someone rushing towards him while jumping between trees. Both Rai and this unknown person were at centre of the trees when it came from height perspective.
Rai got ready to defend while stretching his legs to make sure he can move flexibly.
Just before his opponent could slash his sword at him, he blocked with one sword while being alert about the gun within his opponent's other hand.
Rai then used the opponent's force to just jump back. But his oppoent didn't relent. He kept pursuing Rai while slashing with the sword. And Rai had difficulty in defending.
When Rai tried to defend with one of his swords, his oppoenent then shifted the direction of his/her sword to slash again but Rai managed to block it with his other sword.
Rai's opponent couldn't fool Rai twice because of Rai's intuition domain. Rai could always predict what his opponent was going to do once he miss blocked his opponent's sword with one of his swords. So, he could always block his opponent's sword with his other sword.
The reason why Rai couldn't do the same at first was because of how fast the initial attack was. Not only that but Rai had difficulty sensing his opponent's sword. His intuition was telling him that it was because of his opponent's glove which was an avaces itself.
Rai's own avaces gave him better strength, grip, dexterity over his swords. But it didn't seem effective in front of his opponent.
But Rai kept being pushed back. And Rai couldn't give up. He knew he was completely at a disadvantage. He stil didn't know why his opponent was not trying to use the gun. But it didn't matter. Rai thought that he only needed to find an opportunity to kill his opponent.
