His hair was all messed up. It was no longer spiky but just fell on his face.
"Damn it! I knew I forgot something. My hair gel. Ehhh looks like no more spiky hair for me. Unless there are some back at the cabin. I better get ready now."
Arnos got changed and slipped out the window so nobody would notice. Surprisingly running on roofs weren't that bad. The buildings weren't that tall and he just jumped down. Of course no one saw him. He tucked and rolled, and got up.
Nobody had saw him which was good. He went to check out the newly put out timetable.
'Ehhhhhh! I'm in the last round? Oh that's just cruel man. I was so excited, who's my opponent?'
'Alice Crystal, I'm assuming it's a girl? I haven't watched her fight yet. This might be bad.'
Arnos went and found a suitable seat. His eyes swept across the crowd. His eyes stopped and landed on a girl with a white robe. With a beautiful crystal blue linings. Her hair was not tied up and was flowing around. Arnos was sure this was the girl. He was also sure that she definitely wasn't from here.
Arnos didn't have any friends here so he decided to ask his neighboring spectator.
"Hey, excuse me."
The man looked up and shuddered at the sudden voice. You see Arnos looked quite scary especially after what happened in his first match. Plus he still had his hood on.
"Ye-yes." Gulp, the man replied.
"Who's Alice Crystal?" He tried a more friendlier tone.
"Oh." The man realized Arnos meant no harm.
"That is her." He pointed but quickly took away his finger and adverted his gaze.
"She is a noble, not like Damien Troysen though. She actually is from an important family. She's here to win the prize, even though it's worth nothing to her. She came over here with the other noble, Jayden Carth. They both are really strong but in her last match.." He shivered.
"Her opponent was hurt so badly. The opponent didn't surrender and got hurt so bad but who dares argue with the Crystal family. The man-he-he was so bloody... I'm afraid that was just her warm up..."
"Oh really? You know I'm versing her." He chuckled.
"Oh-oh no. You-you should surrender immediately. She's not someone to tamper with."
"I didn't see her last match so I'm not quite sure how strong she is but can you tell me her mastery?"
"Her mastery, is well. It's a special one."
'Of course she's a noble. Nobles wouldn't have common masteries. Oh crud this may be challenging. I know I said I don't care if I win or not but now I want to win for some reason. If I win I'll donate it cause I don't really need it anyways. Or maybe give it Donovan.'
"She's like a cross between a mage and a knight. It's terrible she's so strong. Of course many call her a beauty which isn't a lie. No one dares talk to her without permission. You'll probably die...."
"Do you know what it's called?"
"No I'm sorry, no one really knows."
"Hmmm, okay thanks."
Arnos got out of his seat and walked out just as the 1st match of Round 2 was going to begin. He needed to think, maybe the dummy would have a clue. Since he was so fast now he could easily go back to the cabin and back in under 10 minutes.
He sprinted back to the cabin and tried searching for it. He came across one and smiled.
"Ahah! This must be it. One of the few special classes that the dummy has. Lucky me!"
Maginage: They have different elements they get. Ice, fire, lightning, wind, earth and water. Many say it is a cross between a mage and a knight. They may fight ranged or close. Most of the time they have powerful spells they cast at the back. If an opponent ever gets close they form an elemental blade or whatever weapon they're most experienced with. They are very deadly.
Basic Maginage Skills:
Shield of Fortune: Cast a big dome over you. Invincible for almost 12 seconds. Hard to break, if opponent is very powerful, the dome will shatter. Cool down is 10 minutes. It uses a lot of energy.
Elemental Weapon: Form any weapon you desire most and use it against your enemy.
Regenerating Circle: Makes a circle on the floor. Heals all your physical injuries. Cool down is 5 minutes. Uses a lot of energy.
Personal Elemental Skills are not listed.
'Interesting... This opponent will be very strong. I'm not sure if I'll be able to win but I'll try. They can heal themselves which sucks for me. Hmmmm I wonder if the dummy can teach me a new skill.'
Arnos looked at the controls and there was his mastery. He clicked on it and saw the skills that he already had learnt. One skill which he hadn't learn yet caught his eye.
Force Blast: A skill to use when is overpowered by the multiple enemies or just 1 enemy. It shocks and blasts the enemy away. Enough time for you to escape and recover your breath. Very effective.
"Yes. I'll learn that it'll help a lot. HEY! Dummy! Can you teach me Force Blast?"
The dummy nodded and went to a nearby tree. It's form changed and it was slightly shorter than before but not too short. He held a tralent in its hand. All he saw was a bunch of rapid movement that was naked to the human eye. All of a sudden the tree blew up and blasted somewhere near the forest. It couldn't handle the Force Blast and exploded.
"To learn Force Blast, you must do a quick series of movements. So quick it seems like a storm is stirring. The rest will just happen. I will show you the movements slower." The dummy spoke.
Even though the dummy moved slower it was still very fast. Some how Arnos managed to see the moves in full motion which surprised him. Arnos tried copying but messed up a little bit.
Eventually after 20 minutes of hard training he learnt it. Although it wasn't fully mastered it still worked it's magic.
He arrived back at the arena just in time for the 4th match. It was Harry Wilson against Danny Volt. He was quite interested in how the match will turn out. Even though he hadn't watched Danny's match. He heard from other spectators that he was very strong. Unlike Harry whose ranged, Danny fights close ranged. Arnos heard from others that Danny was a Mace Destroyer. He held a gigantic mace, the type that had a grip and a chain, with a spike ball attached to it.
He looked very menacing. So far in the fight it looked like Harry was winning. Danny had an evil grin and swung his mace around like crazy and he let go. Harry wasn't prepared at all. The swinging mace in the air flung itself towards him. With no preparation, the mace hit Harry on the head and he started bleeding like crazy. Luckily Harry has quick reflexes and tried to dodge. So the injury was less brutal.
Of course, fortunately Harry still had Heal and used it. Slowly he started to heal. The scars closed up, although Arnos had seen it before. It never ceased to amaze him. He suddenly frowned, why did the boy have a smile on his face.
After Danny had thrown the mace. While Harry was healing, Danny took back the mace. He was behind him and smashed the mace down on the boys head. The poor kid thought he had a chance after he had healed but no.
Harry collapses in a heap with blood pouring out of his skull.
"That must be a dirty play!"
"YEAH! HE HURT HIM SO BAD!!!"
The crowd was quite angry, Harry's friends were frustrated.
A few medics appeared in the Arena and took Harry away to rest. There were a lot of healers, they knew this would happen. To stop the noise the speaker spoke.
"Everyone please calm down. Harry Wilson is still alive. So Danny did not break any rules. Danny Volt moves on to Round 3."
A few people clapped, most didn't. Danny wasn't smiling, he didn't care if people didn't clap for him. He wanted a real opponent. Someone who's strong not weak. He licked his lips and smirked. He eyes were piercing and his face cold. Then he walked away.
There was 2 more matches before his own. Raine Peony VS Jayden Carth and then Lachlan Stammers VS Aiden Fall.
He wanted to see if Raine would succeed to Round 3. He went to see who her opponent was. It was a noble, he had short hair but neatly brushed to the side. He wore armor and two sharp swords at his side. He must have been a double wielder.
This would be interesting since assassins uses 2 daggers most of the time. The fight would be interesting so Arnos decided to stay back and watch.
