Nathan, Ralph and Paul looked to each other weirdly, after a while they just let the soldiers continue the contest.They aren't even looking to the fights, they are just thinking about what happened.
"Why this guy has such connection?You don't search about the genius that you see?This is basic." Ralph said irritated.
"You know that someone of that level won't make difference searching or not, or did you think you can find her traces?" Nathan rebuked and the three stayed quiet.
After they thought about every possibility, they give up.
"Whatever, she just said that isn't for him joins any of us.She won't cause problem just because we invited someone she knows." Paul said thoughtful.
The others 2 neither agreed or denied, they think this too, but people of that level sometimes just do what they want.Nobody knows what is inside others peoples minds, so they feel like sitting in pins.
After a while is Bai turn, he got one of the few remaining Tier 9 and gained easily.Ryo turn arrived too, but he encountered a quite strong Tier 8 guy, but he gained instantly too.
From their school, only Elise, Robert, Alice and Penelope are there yet, Penelope entered Tier 8, but the others don't look like they upgraded.Elise and Robert are originally Tier 8, so being here without upgrading is normal, but Alice is just a Tier 9, if she don't upgraded, then how she arrived here.Lucky?
Meanwhile, in the other side of the city, Lucas is being dragged by Sasha.She suddenly stopped and Lucas almost eat the ground, he looked weirdly to Sasha, it's been little time since he see her, but she looked a little different, but he can't pinpoint what.
"It's been a while, little boy." Sasha smiled and said.
"It is just a few days." Lucas rolled the eyes.
Sasha looked closely Lucas's body, after a while she shakes her head.Lucas got annoyed with this.
"Your progress is too slow, when do you plan to enter the High realm if you continue like that?" Sasha mercilessly said.
"Hey, I am in the same speed of those genius, only a Tier 6 can defeat me now." Lucas said smugly.
"Yeah, it will take a while to Tier 6 get normal amoung genius, but the top ones are almost there.When you go to the federation, some Tier 6 might already appear among humans, but after that is the problem.For you to enter the Tier 6 will be hard, but after that will be impossible.Only if you wait for years to several Tier 6 guys pop out, or you go to the High realm." Sasha explained.
Lucas got astonished, he thought about going to the High realm with Tier 3 at least, but each tier is harder than the other, he needs different powers.Different powers will easily appear only when there is a abundance of the normal ones, like Ryo power is unique among thousands of common fires.
He looked just a little to the others competitors, but he sensed that the majority has similar powers with him, so he had to put his hope to monsters.There is several species of monsters around the world, and Tier 6 isn't so rare there, so he can try them before going to the High realm.From Sasha's story, normal guards are Tier 5, and the strong ones are Tier 4, and the captains are Tier 3.
That city is quite strong among the normal cities there, but Lucas don't wanna go to a place that even a guard can kill him.He won't go to troubles himself, but there is a more ancient style, their morals are quite a lot different from modern humans.Sometimes they can even be from another species, so Lucas want to go there with some protective ability.
"I was just kidding, you had the time that you want, there is no meaning go there quickly and die quickly too.Just focus in getting stronger, I only came to see your performance.I don't expect that people of their status will go ask if you want join them so openly, it is good that it won't disturb you anymore." Sasha said lightly.
"Yeah, thank you.They would invite me later anyway, this free me from choosing at least." Lucas said a little happily.
"If it is so easy." Sasha said while shaking her head.
"Why?" Lucas got curious.
"You will know later." Sasha said and grabbed his collar.
Before Lucas can notice, he is back to the coliseum.Even the place where is gonna is the same of before.He looked to the audience and looked bitter, she probably is there, but he never would see her there.
The three in the high place noted Lucas, but didn't say nothing, just let the contest continue.The first round is always the longest, there is more than 600 fights after all, the majority of them ends in a blow, but still took time.So the first round only ended when the sun sets, but they decided let the 2nd round anyway.
This building is a coliseum, but it had some technology, so there is good light there.Fighting in the night isn't nothing to it, the only problem is to start tomorrow morning.They continued because even the audience wanted to continue, the first round is the majority one blow fight.
In the beginning this is cool, but after a while it is boring, only some people will stay cool doing one blow fights several times.The audience wants a good fight, and they wanted to end this the fastest way possible, so they started the 2nd round.
There is still 614 competitors in this round, so it would take a while to call Lucas, so he just played with his phone.When 100 fight already happened, Elise is called up, Lucas looked, after all she is a school mate.Her opponent is a strong Tier 8, like almost everyone who are still in the game.
He ran to her, but when he is near, his feet tripped and Elise immediately followed with a kick in his stomach.Like a rocket he went out of the stage, but he immediately stood up.When he wanted to enter the stage again, a official stopped him.
"She just had lucky, I am vulnerable and she only give me a superficial injure.This is obviously lucky." the boy got furious and said.
"Lucky or not, you would be died now if you are against a monster." the official said shortly.
The guy calmed down and go to the vip room with all the losers.Some consoled him and said that this sometimes happen, others saw something suspicious about all of this.This might has something with Elise power, such miss hardly happens even with amateurs.
The others competitors took notice of her, and the fight continued.After a while is Bai, he easily defeated the opponent, Ryo too after him.Later is the turn of their school mates, Robert almost lose, but he win in the end, Penelope gained after a good fight, and Alice's opponent just stood there and let himself be hit.
The competitors payed a lot of attention to her and Elise, because they are some of the most dangerous ones below the Tier 7.They don't even consider winning the Tier 7 ones, so they can only pray that they aren't against them, and focus on the others of the same tier.
Lucas looked for a while but lost interest, everyone he knows already fighted.There is only about 40 more fights, so anytime can be him, so he just started playing again.Like expect, his turn came just after 2 fights, he go there without interest.
The previous fights no Tier 7 fighted each other, so he is sure that his opponent is a Tier 8.He don't need more meanings of Tier 8, so he don't care who he is gonna fight.
After the two entered the stage, the guy turned a shadow and circulate Lucas.He got interested in this power, fighting powers he only wants of the same tier as him, but these different powers, he don't care getting a tier below.The true strength of those powers are their convenience.
This guy must have another power, a attack one, or he won't arrive so far with just that.This thing is useful, but if you don't have a way to attack them this thing is just good to escape.Lucas launched a ice spike in it to see if it's invulnerable in the shadow state.
The shadow quickly dodged, so Lucas used lightning, a easier element to control, if his lightning can hurt it, he just need to weaken it.If it is a ice spike, the guy would die if he is hurt by normal attacks.
When he is thinking what strength launch his lightning, the shadow turned a human in his front, and a hand went to his throat direction.The hand caught Lucas's neck and it's nails strached the neck a little bit, but nothing more.
The guy put more strength, but nothing works, they just stood there looking to each other.
