The referee called the first person to the stage by first name lettering order.
First was Airoth, who chose to occupy 5th spot.
second was Andrew, who knew his limits so he chose 8th.
third was Belle, who wanted to chose the number one spot but after glancing at Ray who just smiled nonchalantly, she grew furious when remembering his words.
'Your aren't even my enemy.' played in her head again and again.
She chose 1st spot.

"My own daughter thinks that boy is a threat. Intriguing." The King said calmly to the Queen.
"What's intriguing? It's more infuriating, our daughter is more than a match for anyone her own age let alone some little BOY!" The Queen said while staring daggers at Ray.
"Well, father if you really want to test the boy, you should allow me to fight him." The second prince known as Prince Renard said confidently to his father and nodded to his mother.
(It should be known there are 5 direct descendants of the current King.
The first is Princess Calendra who works for the Law Enforcement Branch.
She was one of the best enforcer's in the kingdom and she has the metals to prove it. She's a cold and heartless person who has no remorse for criminals.
She is 18.
The second is Prince Renard who is known as the relentless prince, who isn't under any branch yet. He earned his title after being a ladies man who never failed to capture the heart of any girl he set his eyes on.
He is 15.
The third is Princess Belle who is known as the Burning rose because of her hot tempered nature.
She grew so angry one time that she incinerated half of the first family's mansion, luckily no one was killed in the blast.
She is 12.
The fourth is Princess Pram who is known as the oracle.
She is a young girl who has a fate element which is a element in its own category.
She spends most of her time out of the view of the public, only appearing during big battles or tournaments. Her words always managed to comfort the King Queen and the rest of the royal family.
She is 8.
The fifth is Prince Pon who has no official title other than that of the prince.
It's said that he was touched by the god of beasts when he was born and that day all creatures bowed their head in his direction. Now he spends everyday in the forest and has never returned injured and most of the time he comes out escorted by beasts.
He is 4. )
"We will wait and see. And we will always have a chance if this boy grows too arrogant." The king said calmly but the Queen glanced at her son with no words, telling him to remove the problem.

Fourth was Cain who chose 4th spot.
Fifth was Delilah who after a brief contemplation chose 3rd spot.
Sixth was Drew who chose 10th spot.
Seventh was Gahrim who chose 7th spot.
Eighth was Iris who chose 6th spot.
Ninth was Orin who chose 9th spot.
tenth was Rak who chose 12th spot.
Eleventh was Raven who smiled at her brother then chose 2nd spot.
Twelfth was Stuart who chose 14th place.
Thirteenth was Ray who loudly said he chose 15th place so everyone could hear. And Everyone was stunned by the announcement.
There were whispers questioning why Ray chose the very last place because even if he didn't win a battle at least he would place higher.
However many people assumed he would take first place either way.
Fourteenth was Raphael who chose 11th spot.
The last was Thomas who was unceremoniously given 13th spot.
Thomas being the last one was given the first challenge chance and he chose to battle Cain thinking he would have a great advantage against water.
Cain knew what he was thinking and slightly chuckled without saying anything.
Next was Stuart the person he chose to fight was unexpected because it was Raven who people knew was a monster fighter. Stuarts reason for this was because he thought it would be fun.
Ray chose to take the number 1 spot, since those rewards are so enticing.
The participants walked over to their respective arenas and got ready for battle.
---( Thomas vs Cain )---
Cain had a sinister smile which was hidden behind his mask, while Thomas had a look of pure arrogance.
They heard the referee say begin and Thomas rushed forward while Cain stood where he was.
As the former ran forward he created a dozen ice spikes around him. He sent two ahead of him aimed at Cain's feet, but they were blocked by two tentacles made of water.
The tentacles slashed at the spikes which stopped them but they were frozen in the process.
"THIS IS WHY I WIN! my ice freezes your water in an instant!" Thomas said with a large smile. Cain just started laughing.
He launched four more ice spikes, but what he saw next stunned him.
Cain raised his hand forward and the tentacles shattered pouring out water until it formed a wave in front of him. Thomas was surprised but launched the ice spikes at the wave, hoping to freeze it.
At the same time the wave rushed forward!
The ice spikes hit it and started to freeze the wave but the wave suddenly expanded from the inside making the freezing slower as it was able to keep move forward.
As the wave was only 5 feet from Thomas he created a ice wall in between him and the wave. When the wall came up however the wave stopped and the water shot up into a ball hovering in the air.
Cain appeared in front of the ice wall, standing on a pillar made of water. He looked down on Thomas physically and metaphorically.
"You lose snowman." Cain said then pointed his finger down.
The water burst into droplets and the water drops started falling at high speed. One droplet hit Thomas's left arm and left a cut on it. Then it burst creating water worth a dozen buckets.
He realized the rain was really dangerous and created and ice dome to protect himself. Cain smiled and mumbled under his breath.
"That won't protect you."
Then the rain began pelting his dome causing cracks as they dropped, however these droplets didn't burst on impact like before.
These one's bounced on the same spot making the cracks larger. More raindrops piled on, bouncing repeatedly on the same spots they landed.
This lead to the dome quickly shattering and Thomas being pelted until he was unconscious.
Lucky for him Cain had the decency to stop before he killed Thomas.
Cain walked off as the referee was announced the winner.
