Chapter 5 - Ch 5

fuck, I am really going to to not have anything to eat. I should have presented myself as the hero and freeload some food. I guess I do not have another choice than to eat the rest of what I hunted and go somewhere and just sleep.

In the throne room of the nature demons. "Where is my army with the tribute." "Sir our spies have reported large explosions that killed most of our men" "How is that possible. We need them to increase our power, do you know what that means, our rase is at risk." "Yes, indeed, we have to try and hide for now before the night demons. We can´t fight them anymore." "Indeed, let everyone know that we will fall back to our underground base."

The night is cold. I made a small fire to cook the meat and warm myself. With the thought, that I will watch out for any possibility to make some money tomorrow I went to sleep on the ground in a backstreet. Now at the next day, I need some money so I'm going to search for some job. After going around the corner to the main street I see a crowed on the market place. A poster hanging on a wall, stating that the a magic tournament is taking place and that the registration is open. That is the perfect moment for me to earn some money, 1 mythzan coin is promised for the winner, it doesn´t sound to much, but it is a village after all so I should expect to much, but I hope it is enough to get something to eat. Without much thought I'm going straight for the registration. "What is your name?", a skinny, bored looking guy askes as I approach. I don´t know what I should answer, my name in the earth was tomioka. "My name is Kenji." I go with a fake name for now. "What element do you use?" "I use fire magic." I thing using fire magic is best for me. "Ok, you can prepare for the fight there." I hope there is something to eat for me. I go to the arena to watch some other fight that are now about to begin. The first matchup is a old water, that looks exactly like some op magician user vs a Jung fire user. The water user begins to get water together to attack the opponent, as does the opponent. "And now it begins water user are normally not as strong as fire user, because the spells to cast them are much harder, but if u understand the highest level of water magic you don´t have to tediously have to summon it, but absorb it out from the surrounding. This is a trait that can not be learned by a fire user, which makes fire only a valuable element on a apprentice level" The narrator explains important information for the mc. When I also can use the elements around me, I can also use them in fights, even if I'm already very satisfied with my guns and antimatter, but it´s never bad to learn something new. The Jung fire user aware of his position, castes a quick spell in hope of a chance to strike first, but a water wave extinguishes the fireball and the water controlled by the old man goes for a brutal counter attack which knocks the opponent away and wins him the fight. "The strongest magician wins as expected of a magic user able to control an element in the surrounding. Next up we have the man with the best perseverance against the apprentice of the head of magic" The narrator says in amazement. A Jung woman against a big guy, a classic. The man with the best perseverance, probably because he is so big and has more blood he can spend because of it. Both begin to cast a spell again, but both do not know how to use their element in the surrounding to cast a spell, but it looks like she can cast spells faster than her opponent and with a fast shot she surprises him, who stops casting his spell and evades to the side. But using small bulled like projectiles out of ice he can´t cast a spell at all. They both look like they will run out of stamina, but in the end with a bale face the Jung woman wins as she hits him in multiple times with her spells. Next up I'm up also against a water user, is there no other elements or do all people her only have one of these two? My opponent looks like he things he has already won against me. The water user has won the last two, now I have to defend the honor of fire user without being really one, but playing with fire is always fun, till you die because of it.
