"Amazing!", thought Greg, while picking up the broken spoon from the ground.
After standing back up, he wanted to inspect the wind silk in mid-air, however, he was surprised to see that it disappeared.
"It disappeared so fast?", he asked himself and slashed another wind silk.
In an instant, another wind blade appeared in the air. However this time he didn't throw anything at it but waited.
After waiting for more than 15 minutes, the wind blade in the air started to sink in size, and in the end, it disappeared into thin air.
"Hmm... So it can stay in mid-air for 15 minutes, but if it touches anything it instantly disappears.", thought Greg and after thinking for a while he started to experiment a bit more.
***
The next morning, Greg was sitting in the Arena, while eating a sandwich with a delightful expression.
Joe, Mila, and Emma were sitting next to Greg and watched him with a confused expression.
Seeing that all of them looked at him, he stopped eating.
"What?"
"Greg... Um... Why is your pet on your shoulder?", asked Emma shyly.
Hearing this question, Greg looked at his right shoulder, only to see his fairy sitting there with a smile while swinging her little legs from time to time.
"Well... Yesterday I finally made her rank up, but after that, she somehow started to behave independently. Maybe it's because she is a mutant or I don't know, but I don't really mind it."
Listening to this, the three on his side were even more shocked, leaving them absolutely speechless.
Seeing them like this, Greg just shrugged and continued to eat his sandwich.
As time went by, Chris finally walked in and started the PGF.
The first fight was between Mila and another girl, who had an enhancing ability, which let her strength, speed, and stamina to grow dramatically.
However, for Mila, this kind of opponent was as easy to beat as breathing some fresh air.
"If you can't reach me, then it's no matter how strong are you, in the end, defeat will catch you.", said Mila after getting the victory.
With this win, she reached fourth place with 18 points. She was behind Greg, Joe, and another guy, whose name was Eric Radel.
He was the guy with the invisibility ability. It was too overpowered, that no one was able to find a way to beat him and because of this, he was the first with 24 points.
Joe had 24 points too, but because of the time difference, between his and Eric's fastest fights, he was in second place.
Challenges went by one by one, resulting in winners and losers. After the fifth fight, Chris looked around and asked, "Who wants to challenge this time?"
In an instant, as he asked this, Eric stood up on the side and raised his hand.
"I want to challenge Greg Hyde!"
Hearing this, Chris looked in Greg's direction and asked, "Will you accept the challenge?"
Hearing the question, Greg swallowed the food in his mouth and while cleaning his mouth he nodded.
Seeing this relaxed act, Eric just smiled slightly and walked toward the platform.
Greg stood up too and started to walk down with his pet still on his shoulder.
After taking his place Eric looked at the fairy on Greg's shoulder and said, "If I were you, I would put that pet away."
Greg raised his eyebrow slightly after hearing this and asked, "Why?"
However, Eric just continued to smile without an answer, making Greg a bit confused.
Seeing as the two were waiting for his signal, Chris raised his hand and opened his mouth.
"Ready? FIGHT!"
In an instant, as Chris's voice sounded through the Arena, Eric's figure disappeared into thin air.
Greg saw this but wasn't shocked. He saw this scene a lot of times so far, so he knew what to expect.
And just as he thought about this, a sudden flash flew toward him, targeting his fairy on his shoulder.
Without any hesitation, he jumped to the side, dodging the incoming attack, but just as his feet touched the ground, another flash came at him from another direction, but now a bit closer.
*Swish!*
He slashed in the direction where the last attack came at him in the hope to see if he could hit Eric, but unfortunately, his hopes were too high.
Just as he slashed, another flash came at him from behind his back.
Using Alice's speed boost, he jumped to the side, while his sight turned black and white.
Seeing no trace of Eric, Greg was a bit surprised.
"So the Silver Wolf's tracking ability is only useful for visible targets. Good to know."
Dodging another attack from Eric, Greg stopped moving and slashed around him a few times.
Just as everybody waited for something big to happen, unfortunately, this time nothing occurred.
"What is Greg doing?", asked Mila with a questioning look, after seeing his move a second ago.
Instead of answering, Joe leaned forward a bit and squinted his eyes. After 10 full seconds, he leaned back into his chair and smiled.
"It seems his pet obtained another interesting ability."
"Huh?"
Just as Mila and Emma wanted to ask Joe what he meant under his statement, suddenly they heard a loud shout.
"Aargh!"
Looking down onto the platform, blood dripped from the air onto the ground, leaving the onlookers a bit confused.
"If I were you, I wouldn't try to come closer.", said Greg as he patted the fairy's head on his shoulder.
Hearing this, people started talking with each other with confused expressions.
"What did he do? I didn't see anything."
"I don't know. Maybe some kind of ability?"
As people talked quietly, suddenly a loud shout could be heard.
"Hey, what the hell? What are those?!"
Hearing the voice, everyone looked toward Greg's figure and a while later shocked gasps could be heard from here and there.
All around Greg, thin wind blades were hovering in one place, which was so thin that only the small vibrations could be seen. And what was more that there were at least a hundred of them around his body.
Greg just stood where he was with a relaxed expression and waited for the attacks.
"I don't believe I can't reach you!", said Eric angrily and suddenly a flash hit one of the wind blades.
*Swish!*
In an instant, as the flash reached the wind blade, it got cut into half without a problem.
Seeing as something fell to the ground, Greg looked down, to only see a needle lying before him, which was smoothly cut in half.
"Interesting, but only with a mere needle you won't win.", said Greg seriously as he was looking around, but suddenly needles from different directions came at him with an insane speed.
Standing in one place, Greg let the needles hit the wind blades around him one by one.
*Clang!*
*Swish!*
As the needle hit wind blades after wind blades, suddenly Eric started to talk.
"As I thought. Those wind blades around you will disappear after coming into contact with something. And if I'm right, you can't make those blades freely."
In an instant, as he said that, a needle flew toward Greg's direction, however, this time there were no wind blades to stop it.
As the needle was about to reach the fairy's head on his shoulder, he just merely smiled.
"Found you."
*BOOOOM!*
