He walked inside with Michail and smiled as he saw Juno waiting for them to come back from registering. She was already registered here, Liam was really surprised and added it to the list of questions he had to ask her later.
Liam was supposed to continue training during his stay in the City. It was an order from his hellish Trainor Lucien. Fortunately, Liam was pretty excited to train in the City himself otherwise he really would've complained to Ethan about his uncle. Sometimes he wonders if Liam was really the one who asked his uncle to train him. Anyways getting stronger was always his goal, not to mention that this City had a huge arena and he wasn't alone, Michail and Juno were here too. He was really excited to fight against some real people not the virtual characters he was used to fighting with. After all no matter how good the simulation was, it could not be as good as a real life fight. The instincts and stuff were trained by real fights.
His Grandfather was taking him, Juno and Michail there since he was free. His friend Ralph was really worried about sending Michail and to be honest Liam wasn't sure about it too. But Michail insisted on coming so, Maddox was also here to keep an eye on him.
Liam nervously rubbed his hands together, he was really excited all morning and finally the nerves were starting to kick in. Even though he had fought on stage before in his previous life, this was a magical world full of mythical creatures he was a little nervous about who they were about to face. Juno saw both him and Michail looking nervous and grinned at them. She said something, probably motivating them but Liam couldn't hear her over all the noise. Crowds made a lot of noise during the fights some people were cursing the team they bet on, it made Liam more nervous.
They walked towards the waiting area where the fighters were supposed to wait for their name to be called. They were in a three person fight, there were also group fights, one on one and so on. But Liam decided to fight together so that if something bad happened they could save each other's ass. After all, they were pretty young even by his previous world's standards. And in this world where some people lived to be thousands of years old, six years old was like a newborn. Races other than humans brought their children up roughly since strength was a big matter in this world. Otherwise Liam might not even be allowed to leave home until he was 20.
One weird thing for Liam was that, they started learning about most stuff at 11 before that most of the kids only trained and were pretty clueless about the world. Of course they knew how to read and write but most of the superior races like dragons were born with inheritance which meant they already knew that at birth. Most of their inheritance was locked but they already knew about some stuff when they were born.
Unfortunately, geography and history weren't included. Although Liam never like this stuff that was in his previous life. He was dying to know more about this world. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't allowed in his Clan's Library most of the adult's were prohibited too since it had some secret stuff. While Lucien's study didn't have what he was looking for. This was also one of his goals of coming here, to find more about the world. He was thinking about visiting a library, hopefully a genuine one this time. He would hate to transmigrate again when he was finally getting his new life on the right path.
"Let's go Liam." Juno patted his shoulder making him come back to the current situation. He walked inside the hallway leading to the stage where participants fought. Juno was on his right walking steadily while Michail was behind him. Liam was helpless about this, maybe it was because of him being a rabbit shifter but Michail was really timid. There wasn't anything wrong with that but if Liam wanted to go according to his plan, he had to make Michail less shy. Omegas were nearly all really shy though, which reminds him he never asked Juno her second gender. He decided to add it to his stuff to ask later list.
He squinted his eyes as he walked out of the rather dark hallway, the fact that the lights on the stage were all directed towards them didn't help. The host introduced them as they walked, Liam tuned out the sounds outside. It was something he had learned to do when he fought in his previous life.
He looked at his opponents, not surprised that they were all older then them. Thankfully, their magic level was the same otherwise it would be impossible for Liam to win. He could feel that the crowd was all cheering for his opponents after all Liam's team consisted of just kids. Although the other group were also in their teens, it was still different from Liam's team which basically consisted of babies. He nearly laughed aloud when he imagined himself as a chubby figure standing on stage alongside his chubby teammates. It was so surreal to Liam that he was only six in this world right now. It was a different race and world but still he was surprised that kids his age were allowed to fight.
"And now we will be starting the match in..." The refres said loudly as he flew above the stage standing on a magic tool. The countdown started on the screen.
Liam readied himself, he was standing behind both Juno and Michail. He had decided long ago to become a control type fighter, Juno was both a control and agility type while Michail was an agility type. Thankfully Liam as a dragon had great attack power otherwise they wouldn't be able to deal with their opponents with just control and agility attacks.
Speaking of his opponents, there were two boys and a girl. Liam could tell from her scent that she was a cat shifter and her tight combat wear gave away that she was an agility type. To be honest, most cat shifters were agility type fighters. One of the guys with short hair was a human probably a mage due to the staff he was holding but liam couldn't tell about the other guy. His scent was really confusing.
The boy short hair stayed behind with the girl as the other guy rushed towards them. Liam started releasing fog while making sure that Juno and Michail were not effected and could see. Michail's bunny ears popped out as he half shifted, he was more powerful when in his half shifted form. The fog visibly slowed down the guy coming towards them but not by much. Liam wasn't surprised, people fighting here have been doing so for years and are far better than the people he has fought before. A little fog wasn't too big of a problem for them. The good thing was that the mage's spell was useless in the fog due to him not being able to see his target and he quickly left the fog as he walked towards the other end of the stafe. The stage was really big and the current him couldn't cover that much area with fog.
The guy who had rushed towards them, Liam could tell he was an attack type fighter, was stopped by Michail. They had decided to deal with this guy first thankfully, the guy seeing they were young underestimated them and didn't leave the fog with his teammates. Michael was fighting with him and was holding on which was surprising considering he was a head shorter then the other guy. He avoided the guy's attacks with speed that surprised Liam.
Liam knew Michail wouldn't be able to hold on for long as agility type fighters weren't suited to fight attackers, not to mention the guy's teammates realized something was wrong and rushed here. He looked at Juno and she quietly but swiftly appeared in front of the guy, he looked up at her. His eyes widened as he realized something and quickly turned his eyes but it was too late. Juno smiled as she used her racial skill Charm, the boy's eyes turned pink and he looked at her dazedly. Michail quickly attacked the guy while he was under Juno's control, he used a weird set of moves as he wrapped his legs around his neck and twisted his body so that the guy flew up a little before slamming hard on the ground. The sickening voice of bones breaking echoed just as his teammates reached them.
Liam motioned them to come back but they miscalculated as the girl was too fast. She attacked Michail with her hands which had turned into claws. Michail dodged the claws and saved his face from being clawed however he was kicked by her leg from the back and flew forward. He had just fought with an attacker and was a little out of breath which led to him ignoring the attack from behind. Liam quickly caught him, as Juno also appeared beside him.
One of the opponent's teammate was fainted but, Michail was hurt too. Liam placed him down gently, stopped him from getting up and then floated as he rushed towards the mage.
Mage's weren't good at close combat so Liam was trying to get close. The mage attacked him with some fire magic but Liam simply dodged them in the air. The mage's locating was bad because of the fog and Liam was floating. He was faster this way then when he was running and his reaction speed was also better. After all he was a cloud dragon, for them it was easier to float then walk.
Liam got closer and the mage called for the girl. Unfortunately for them, Liam had surrounded her with fog while Juno cast an illusion. She was young so her illusion shouldn't be able to distract the girl for so long but Juno was a succubus they were one of the strongest at mental attacks and making illusions. And Liam's fog was confusing the girl more.
Liam finally reached the mage, the mage was strong for someone not good at close combat but Liam's strength due to him being a dragon wasn't something a mere human could endure. So, after a brief confrontation Liam hit his neck making the mage faint. Only one member was left and she wasn't in a good condition probably due to what she saw in the illusion, Juno knocked her out from behind.
Liam dispersed the fog and he heard the host announcing their win. Liam simply ignored him as he ran towards Michail. He had gotten up and was fine, the girl was agility type so although she was fast her strength wasn't that good. The reason why Michail was so weak after being attacked was due to him being malnourished his whole life. Although he ate well now, his body was still weak.
"We won?" Michail asked Liam in shock, he couldn't believe what the host was saying.
Liam nodded and grinned as he hugged both him and Juno tightly. Michail hugged him back as he cried in happiness while Juno struggled to free herself. She didn't want to be seen with these two, one was laughing while the other crying. Juno's 'I'm done with this shit' expression only making Liam laugh harder.
