(Raizo POV)
I have finally arrived at the stadium and just looking at its size from the outside, i am in awe. It was atleast 10 times of size of Sport's hall in the Arc.
While i walked inside and saw the crowd and i was truly shocked, there was atleast 50,000 people! Then i looked at the arena in the middle of the arena, i saw 15 platforms, each was atleast lenght of 70m or more.
While i was admiring the interior of the stadium, suddenly crowd started getting louder. Then i looked where they were looking and i saw 7 people started to get seated in the same area. Then i heard crown muttering something about prodigies and so i knew who they were, they were the 7 prodigies of this era!
One of the prodigies had lion like mane on his head with blue eyes and muscular body, that man is Leo Strongfaith!
Next to him sitting was man with red hair and ordinary face with annoyed looking facial expression, he is Rei Bloodheart!
Next to Rei was sitting young looking man with handsome features and you can even see confidence from his facial expression, this young man is Mor Flarewind, son of the Drake Flarewind!
And in the middle seat of the row was sitting man with greyish hair with few scars under his eyes looking very menacing, he doesn't look at all someone of age of 14, but he is and this man is Rook Riscon!
Next to him was sitting young man with dark hair and cold looking face, but what seperated him from others was his different colored eyes, other is red while other is purple colored, this young man is Darc Nightstar!
Next to him was sitting lovely looking young lady with green hair and height of 160cm with face which just screamed word ''gentle'', this young lady is Amelia Green!
And next to her was lady with unparalled looks, her looks can make any men go crazy with her blue eyes and blue hair, even sitting there with her usual cold looking face made every man in the stadium draw their eyes on her, her name is Luna Silverheart!
All of 7 Prodigies have gathered!
...
''Gahahahaa Rei! It's finally time, are you excited? Are you are you?!'' yelled Leo with laugh
''Ugh, shut the fuck up already, i barely slept last night and your yelling isn't helping my headache either.'' said Rei with annoyed face while rubbing his forehead
''Hmm, it will be quite of a show ahead.'' said Mor while smiling
''Confident as always Mor, your fire wont be even able to hurt me so hope you wont face me! Jahahahaha!'' said Rook with laugh
''Didn't you lose to him last time Rook?'' asked Darc with raised eyebrows
''Urgh, i will win next time!'' yelled Rook
''You say that everytime Rook.'' said Amelia with giggle
''I lost him only because i got careless!! Who would have thought he would fucking send flaming meteor towards me!'' said Rook with angry race
''Too bad that you are too slow to dodge it.'' said Mor with smile
''Argh.'' grimaced Rook
''...'' Luna Silverheart was sitting there with her usual cold look and ignoring the conversation of others
...
(Raizo POV)
'They seem tough.' I thought while looking at the 7 prodigies
Then i saw old man in his 60s walk towards center of the platform in the arena.
''Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to 149th Middle School Championship!'' yelled Old man to the microphone
*Cheer*
Crowd was getting more and more excited for upcoming matches!
''There are total of 512 fighters from all around Sulfur gathering here to crown the undisputed Middle School Champion!
''This is one of the most important tournaments for their fighting career! There are representatives from every important high school from all around country of Sulfur which will decide the future of the these children here!''
''Today we will have 3 rounds! In round 1 fighters will be reduced to 256, in Round of 2 will be reduced to 128 and after last round of the day there will be only 64 fighters left!'' yelled old man to the microphone and ended his short speech
...
After listening the speech, i was shaking in nervousness, thinking that what if i will disappoint everyone back home, i am aware of amount of hopes they have on me and i don't want to fail.
*Slap*
'Stop your useless thinking you moron!' I thought to myself while i slapped my cheeks
Then i started walking towards dressing rooms where matchups notifications will be put on the wall.
I opened one of the dressing room and there were already over 50 people there, of course there are multiple dressing rooms all around stadium, because over 500 people is participating after all.
I walked towards one of the papers which is held in wall where crowd of people is currently.
Round 1 - Raizo Sulfide (Town Arc) VS Jack Lockhold (City Conduit)
'Hmm first match already someone from one of the city's.. wont be easy fight' I thought after looked the matchup.
...
After waiting for 30min my fight was about to start, i stood up from the bench and started walking towards the exit of the dressing room and opened the room and started walking towards arena Nr.11
There i saw young man standing there with arrogant looking face, thinking that match was already over.
'I guess they don't think much about us townsfolk huh.' I thought while walked the stairs towards the arena
''Match Nr.138 Raizo Sulfide from the town of Arc VS Jack Lockhold from the City of Conduit!'' yelled Referee
...
In the crowd
''Ah it's Jack's turn!'' said someone from the crowd
''That's right! He was one of the 2 who managed to qualify through City of Conduit alongside Rei Bloodheart!'' yelled someone from the crowd
...
In the arena
''*Snicker* Do me a favor and give up alright? I need to save up my stamina after all and i feel like this fight is pointless, it is just matter how much stamina i spend in defeating you.'' said Jack with a smirk
''...''
''Are you both ready?!'' asked Referee with loud voice
''''Yes.'''' said both Jack and Raizo
''FIGHT!'' yelled Referee and then backed up towards edge of the arena
Hybrid Type Mode: Snow Leopard!
Jack transformed and rushed towards Raizo with breath taking speed!
'Leopard huh, too bad that i already learned how to fight against it from my master.' thought Raizo with smile after removing his nervousness
Jack rushed towards Raizo and jumped straight at him trying to tackle him out of the arena.
...
In the crowd
''Huh? Why is that other guy not even move?'' asked someone from the crowd
''Did he get scared or something? How pathetic.'' someone said with sneer
...
'Round 1 done.' thought Jack with already thinking about next round
Hellhound!
But suddenly Magma Fist with shape of a dog rushed towards Jack with a surprise attack!
'What?! Elemental!!!' thought Jack anxiously and tried to dodge it, but couldn't completely dodged and half of the attack hit him straight to right front limb of Snow Leopard.
''ARGH.'' yelled Jack with grim face
But Raizo was not done yet. He used the magma blast which hit Jack as cover to jump high up!
Jack retreated 8-10m to side and looked where Raizo was and noticed that there was no one there!
'Where is that bastard?!' thought Jack anxiously
Magma Fist!
Jack suddenly felt temperature rise and looked up to see Raizo attack him with huge magma fist! Jack made quick decision to back off from the current location and then Raizo hit the floor with his magma fist making tiles and magma fly everywhere!
'I am not done yet..' thought Raizo while preparing his new move.
Volcanic Fracture!
With the help of his previous attack, he started pumping magma to the floor and then releasing it everywhere in the platform where they were fighting!
Magma's were released from the ground like geyser all around Jack hitting him everywhere of his body and burning his fur.
''AAAHHHHH!!'' yelled Jack in pain, his body was full of pain and finally he started feeling fear towards Raizo
'This guy is fucking monster!' thought Jack while shaking in pain
Raizo then started running towards Jack from the ground and coated his arm in magma to prepare for his next attack!
''I GIVE UP!!!'' yelled Jack after seeing Raizo was not done and fell done on his butt on the ground after removing his transformation
''Match over! Winner Raizo Sulfide!'' yelled Referee
...
In the crowd
''...'' Guys who were commenting on that fight were speechless
...
In the stands of the 7 Prodigies
''Wow look at him!'' yelled Leo after seeing Raizo defeat Jack
''Rei, how strong was Jack?'' asked Amelia
''He was alright, weaker than us by few levels, but definitely should have achieved atleast top 64.'' said Rei
''I guess we have dark horse on our hands JAHAHAHA!'' said Rook with laugh
''...'' Luna Silverheart only took a glimpse of Raizo and directed her gaze elsewhere while still having her usual cold face
...
(Raizo POV)
I was walking back to the dressing room after winning round 1.
'I guess the best way to defeat him was to limit his movement like i did.. i guess my fight's against Larox wasn't useless after all.' I thought with smile and then opened the door to the dressing room and walked to bench and sit down. Only few of the competitors took a glimpse towards me before going back to concentrating towards their next match.
*Ring* Ring*
I opened my phone and saw few messages popping up, but didn't bother to answer to them yet, i still have 2 rounds left today and i need my full concentration on them.
