Once we arrived at the store we split up and went to different stores. We all knew that the tournament would commence on around 40 minutes so we were getting ready by buying and selling goods.
I didn't want to go in without having at least a few more rare items, plus I didn't want to have any common items when I went into the tournament.
I browsed the armour stand for a while before picking out some items to equip,
[Chestplate of Malfoy - Rare - Worn by the evil warlock malfoy during the seige of Durmstrang it was struck by a magic arrow and still didn't dent - INT +12 DEF +450 - Durability : 180/180 - Requirements : Must know one dark magic skill - Ability : +20% to all dark magic skills]
[Sandals of Set - Rare - Worn by the god of thunder Set to defeat wrongdoers - AGI +12 DEF +450 - Durability : 180/180 - Requirements : AGI = 20+ - Ability : Blink (allows the user to teleport behind the enemy, only usable once per enemy)]
[Belt of Tyche - Rare - Once used by the Good Witch of the North to bring peace and prosperity throughout all the lands - VIT +12, Slots = 10 - Durability : 180/180 - Requirements : Must have earned over 10,000 Vis - Ability : Fortune(allows the user to earn +20% more Vis)]
These were the items that I had decided to buy. All in all they cost 60,000, 20,000 each. I equipped them then went downstairs to sell some things.
Once I had finished selling everything I had 20 minutes until the tournament started so I decided to spend some skill points.
I spent around ten minutes looking through the skills and only ended up buying two.
[Retrieval(lvl Max) - allows the user to retrieve any item that belongs to the user once dropped or thrown - Mana Cost : 10 per item - 5SP]
[Steal(lvl Max) - allows the user to retrieve an item from another's inventory or equipment - if the users overall Stat points are twice that of their opponents then Daylight Robbery will be activated - [Daylight Robbery(lvl Max) - allows the user to steal an item of their choosing from an opponent] - Mana Cost : 20 - Cooldown : 10 minutes - 5SP]
These skills caught my eye as it would be great to take items from other people because of my abnormally high stats and when I used my Guided Throwing I could instantly call back the weapon that I threw.
As I finished buying the skills I went over to the front noticeboard to turn in a quest that was completed yesterday.
[Quest : Kill 500 Lesser Orcs - Reward : +100 Guild Points, 1000 Vis]
I now had 400 Guild Points but I didn't know what they were good for as it didn't explain anything.
As soon as I turned in the quest a loud trumpeting sound followed. I looked up at the notice board to see a 60 second timer counting down.
I knew it was for the tournament but everyone else was clamouring about and chatting, trying to see what the fuss was about.
There was no description on the board, everything else other than the timer had been erased.
I found everyone else stood off to the side near the item store which had frozen. I walked over and we waited for the timer to finish.
Once the timer hit zero there was a flash of white light and the feeling of being teleported washed over us again.
Once I opened my eyes I was inside a dark room. It had plain grey walls and floor and smelled like a new car. A large screen suddenly popped up in front of my face,
[Congratulations! You are over level 10 so have been selected as a candidate for the first tournament. Here is how it's gonna work, there will be three rounds of battling each having a winner. Here are the rules for the tournament, failure to follow these rules will result in a permanent death penalty and expulsion from the tournament.
1. No items can be used during battle.
2. No outside help will be accepted.
3. No deaths will be counted, once defeated you will be sent back to this room.
The first round will be a battle of strength, one on one battles split into sections. There will be 4 sections to this round, the first will consist of 8 consecutive battles. If you win all of these battles you will be allowed to advance to the next section.
The second section will consist of another 8 battles between the victors. The third will be 4 battles of those victors.
Then the final section is were the real tournament begins, the remaining fighters from around the world will be pitted against each other and the best will be rewarded handsomely.
The second round will be a team battle, you will be able to pick two others to help you in your fight against other teams. It is laid out in an 8, 4, 4, battle basis followed by the tournament, the best will be rewarded very well.
The third will be a handicap battle. You will be pitted against an endless wave of attackers, the longer you survive the better rewards you will gain.
So without further ado please wait for the timer to finish and you will be transported to your first battle, good luck and may the odds be ever on your favour]
After reading through everything I stood and waited for the timer to end. I decided to take Lana and Lucy as my teammates for the second round as if I didn't they would probably throw a fit.
I messaged everyone to make sure they were all in the tournament room and to see what the teams would be. Cole, Mike and Rose would go together; Me, Lana and Lucy would go together and Oscar, The Sergeant and Mrs. Sheila would go together as she was also above level ten now.
I made sure all of my equipment was equipped and ready to go then stood and waited for the timer to finish.
As the timer hit zero the warm teleportation light washed over me and I was teleported away to an unknown location.
