The next day, Cyrus woke up pretty early, she was hyped since now she could use her real strength to fight against her opponents and not just something similar to it like in that dream, soon Helios came to pick her up she and Helios walked side by side towards the area where the finals will take place.
It was a rather odd set up, Cyra could see at first sight that something wasn't right, as she was looking around she could see a platform on the middle and kids were sitting around it, the person that came to receive her didn't led her towards the center instead she was seated on a giant chair to her right Selene and to the left Layton was sitting, Cyrus couldn't hold in anymore and asked, - "What is this?"
from Helios who was just about to leave..
"Oh, I might forgot to tell you, the final tournament works like a ladder, you have to challenge someone who is one higher rank than your self, since you were the last to awaken your the first such as you can't challenge anyone, it would be bullying if we let you fight" said Helios while looking at her sad face, Helios though for him self as cold sweet appeared on his forehead: it's not that I don't wanna let you fight, I simply can't what would I do if you massacred everyone present, Helios started smile warily at her.
The competition slowly progressed, but it wasn't that interesting so Cyra looked at Layton who was sitting next to her, he seemed to be spaced out too so she hopefully turned towards Selene and asked, - "Don't you want to challenge me?"
"Of course I want to challenge you, but I'm not your match" Said Selene while sighting sadly.
"You were so spirited in the dream test, where did that spirit go?" Asked Cyra in a surprised manner.
"I mainly use Soul Attacks, I even attempted to kill you after we left the dreamy place, but it was useless you didn't even felt it, furthermore when I tried to look at your soul, I couldn't see anything else but a giant Shadow of a Dragon towering out of your body, since my soul attacks don't work, I'm not capable of fighting you.." said Selene while looking at Cyra sadly..
"How many people did you kill to amount that heavy bloodthirst that your soul emitting?" asked Selene seeing that Cyra wasn't bothered that she saw her soul..
The reason she wasn't bothered because at worst case scenario, she will just gated an another body...
Meanwhile Helios in the distance thought to him self, it's so nice that she is making some friends... than he turned back to the 2 Vice-leaders and continued to chat with them.
The tournament was slowly progressing there was a kid who caught Cyra attention, he wasn't exactly stronger than his opponent but he kept winning by out smarting them with lower intelligence..
[Zane Ember][Int: 2.04] [Str: 3.03] [E: 2.41]
[Dio Clinax][Int: 2.99] [Str: 2.81] [E: 2.73]
System why is he keep winning? He clearly have lower intelligence than his opponent..
[There are different kind of intelligences such as memory, reasoning, attention, and planning, even if his intelligence lower it's possible to win if he's reasoning and short time memory takes up that low intelligence, or simply planning his actions can also cause a winning outcome]
So the IQ not equal with intelligence?
[No it's not someone with high IQ can be good at reasoning but bad with planning or great planning but bad memory, a high intelligence doesn't mean that that person is good with everything, also low intelligence doesn't mean that the person don't have high IQ, if we will test their IQ based on reasoning it's clear that the one with weaker intelligence wins, but if we test with additional factors that won't be sure anymore, but in this tournament they are restricted by the fact that they can't kill each other]
From time to time Cyra was looking at Layton after 30 minutes she couldn't bear it anymore and asked Selene, - "What exactly did you do to him? No matter how I look at it he seems to be dead" said Cyra.
"The Power of love, also about 2 days ago at the park we had a romantic walk together and there he kissed me, that's when I ate his soul, isn't it romantic?" asked Selene.
"Good to see I'm not the only psycho here" said Cyra under her breath..
"Did you say something?" asked Selene
"No, it must have been the wind" said Cyra while looking sideways..
About an hour later [Zane Ember] has already entered the Top 30, he was the black horse of the tournament since nobody knew his name before, its seemed like Cyra has overshadowed his existence.. the guess couldn't have been any more accurate he hated that she appeared in the gathering in the same year as him, but he couldn't do anything against that so instead he bet all he had on the final tournament to show people that he is worthy to be called one of the strongest.
Meanwhile Cyra was confronted by one stupid thing after another she refused to believe that her luck was this bad, currently she was angrily glaring at the guy who was standing in front of him with flowers in his arms, - "What do you mean by calling me the love of your life?!" asked Cyra while looking at the kid speechlessly, Cyra once again could feel that the stupidity of some humans are on another level compared to the others.
How, never mind when did this happened? asked Cyra while holding her head..
The dream test was where we found our love, the way that Lady Cyra was sitting on a branch in the Forest of wolves inspired us to admire your beauty and elegance..
Cyra stood up and walked towards Helios and the 2 other Elders, - "Elder brother can I fight that guy?" asked Cyra while pointing towards the guy with flowers and presents in his hands, - "Absolutely not, he is one of your suitors." Said Helios while patting Cyra head, - "Say what now? Are there more of them?!" asked Cyra shockingly.. - "Yes there should be around a hundreds of them but don't worry as you will mature there will be more of them, thousands or even ten thousands of people will admire you" said Helios happily, on the other hand Cyra just froze on spot.
Helios walked towards the kid and took the present to Cyra, he took out a stone like object from one of the boxes, it was shining with blue light, - "Look here, he even gifted you an Essence Crysta, quite the generous little fellow" said Helios while smiling happily.
"What is an Essence Crystal?" asked Cyra.
"Essence Crystal is a currency that used between cultivators, they can be created according to your rank, a stage 1 rank 1 cultivatior can creat daily 1 but, won't be able to gain Essence since the Essence is gathered into the Crystal, it's also used to cultivate, for each Essence Crystal you can get one day worth of cultivation" said Helios as he was explaining things for Cyra.
"Can I have it?" asked Cyra.
"Of course it is yours to begin with." said Helios.
Seeing the shiny little crystal in her hand, Cyra smiled sweetly at the boy and said "Thank you" than walked back to Selene, the boy was still dazed by how elegant and sweet Cyra was, so he just stood there like an idiot.
[Congratulation Host for satisfying your Greed, Reward: [Fighting Technique: Essence Spike]]
I don't remember Learning a technique like that.. so how did you?
[I designed it my self based on human techniques that Host has a queried during your stay in this body]
[Essence Spike: gathers Host Essence into a form of spike that can be used as a weapon, in compressed form the Essence can become stronger than metal and sharper than a sword, the success of the technique based on the usage and the control of essence]
[Side Note: Me as the Great System to kill Time, decided to give up some of my pride and started creating human fighting techniques to fight against the endless boredom of the world, I have long ago finished the creation of the [Epic Dragon Emoji Package] and now with renewed spirit I created this Essence Spike, the model of the skill based on Host Flaming Spike and Magnetic Core Control, The flaming spike gives the technique a basic form, it could be Changed but spike seems to be the most optimized form based on Host killing efficiency with the Main Body original skill, The skill other aspect is that similarly to Magnetic Core, Host doesn't exactly uses up the Essence for an action instead, brings outside of the body to materialize into a solid form, and be able to use it as a weapon based on needs]
What's that Epic Dragon Emoji Package?
[The [Epic Dragon Emoji Package] is one of my greatest work it has up to 198 345 deferent kind of Emojis inside it, I will give it to host after Using [Eternal Call] more]
Okay...
The moment Cyra came back to reality was the same moment when [Zane Ember] stood up and started to walk towards the arena one more time, this time his opponent will be from the top 15, he was ready to show everyone that he is also special like the rest of them, the constant fighting has enchanted his strength together his will to fight more, moreover he only had one goal which was to get recognized by everyone present, hearing the crowd cheers had lighten up his spirit as he was finaly standing on the stage he was shocked, Cyra wasn't looking at him, she was entirely ignoring what was happening on the stage instead she was talking with the girl next to her.
"You can have him…" said Cyra to Selene.
"What?" asked Selene.
"The guy from before with the flowers, I saw how you looked at him…" said Cyra
"Really? Thank you sister Cyra" with that said Selene jumped up from her seat and walked away with the boy to eat her snack..
Cyra soon turned towards the stage since she could feel that someone was glaring at her, as she was looking at the stage she saw that dumb guy from before, who defeated some opponents, decided to watch the match she ignored his glares and simply watched what was happening.
The kid in the fifteenth place was called [Ray Echo], he was wearing the robes of the Giant wolf clan, his stats were rather strong to his age he was certainly qualified to stand in the top, he slowly walked up to the stage while also checking out Zane to himself, he already saw how the guy fights, but looking him up close was a different experience, he realized that the kid was much weaker than him in every aspects..
[Ray Echo] [Int: 3.11] [Str: 3.42] [E: 3.21]
[Zane Ember][Int: 2.10] [Str: 3.07] [E: 2.44]
"I don't get it, he is clearly stronger than Dolores who is on the ninth place with her [Int: 1.1] [Str: 2.32] [E: 2.03] why doesn't he challenges to get higher rank?" asked Cyra from the just returned Selene
"The ranking was decided based on Clans strength, it had nothing to do with the awakening numbers, most batches woke up almost the same time, he was put to the fifteenth place, so he can assure that the rankings won't change no matter what.." said Selene while she was playing with her hair.
"I still want to fight.." said Cyra while she was sulking..
