I woke up groggy still a bit weak and tired
" come on my love it's the day of the tournament " it has been two weeks since I got attacked by assassins I got poisoned by the sword that hit me anf almost died since it was close to my heart luckily there were some antidotes in the royal carriage just for such a occurrence Elise was scared to death because a few of the antidotes didn't work at first
Ever since that day she has been trying to spend more time with me not letting me go out of her sight for to long which is nice I love being with my soon to be wife Elise helps me up we take a shower as she was washing herself I couldn't believe that this beautiful elf fell in love with me I pulled her close into a hug Elise didn't say anything just hugging me back with a smile
After getting dressed Elise and I went outside there were quite a bit of people trying to get a seat at the coliseum we didn't need to wait with everyone else since there was a VIP section that leads to seating for nobles and royalty the section we are in was very nice with cushioned seats and a great view of the arena there were a couple seats in front and bigger then everyone else's there were three people there
Noticing us they turned one was the prince one of the others was also a middle aged man with the same hair has the prince and a middle aged woman with brown hair but the same eyes as the prince too
The middle aged man got up and came over to us " ahh princess Elise it's a pleasure to meet you I had heard that you were staying in the city for some time now " he then looks at me " I had also heard you got engaged is this the lucky guy" Elise nodded " hello your majesty yes this is my fiancée"
"hi I'm king Lenard Wilfred its nice to meet the one who stole the princess's heart " he held out his hand " I hope you have a good time in the tournament " he said holding out his hand I took his hand shaking it
"It's nice to meet you too your majesty I hope this tournament his enjoyable " the king was going to say something else but was cut off by a announcement " all participants please get to the arena the first round will begin soon " a guy using a megaphone type thing I looked to Elise who nods leaning in to kiss me " go have fun my love don't over do it" I nodded then ran off to the arena
Twenty minutes later I was in the arena with about a hundred other people " Alright everyone let's begin the first round will be a all out battle until only five travelers remain " I looked carefully around from a corner of the ring not far form were I came out "BEGIN "
I quickly looked around to see what everyone was doing but I noticed that they were not fighting but just looking at me there was not a sound not even from the crowd Elise frowned heavily seeing this the only rules in the tournament were no killing or outside help so this was possible
a big muscular guy walked forward stopping a little bit away " it's nothing personal kid but you have pissed off someone really wealthy just sit there a take your beating you can't defeat all of us not with that body don't worry I'll take care of your elven fiancé while you're recovering "he said a few people grinned thinking this was easy money " it's seem everyone has one target let's see how this turns out folks" the announcer said
Even though I have been training everyday I'm still slightly bigger then most people probably because I still eat the same it's not that I haven't lost any weight it's just not to a drastic degree not to mention I'm still 5ft 7in but there isn't much I can do about that
I chuckle hearing this causing everyone to frown hearing me " judge me by my size do you hmmm " I reached back behind my head to the beanie like face mask that has been attached to my clothes since I got it under the collar in the back I bring over my head covering my face with it there was ivory paint of a skull with its canines slightly extended on it now covering my face as I continued
" Even a single small atom can cause a nuclear explosion " as I finished saying this I casually tossed my staff which has been floating behind me this entire time it does that when im not using it the muscular guy tried to catch it out of instinct and he didn't see any harm in it since it was going fast
But when it touched him he felt the weight of a dragon press onto him slamming him into the ground with my staff vertical on his chest he was struggling to get up when i enhanced my body
with lightning crawling over me I ran over to him before anyone came to there senses i built up lightning on my hand then punched him in the head knocking him out as lightning crawled over the man's face and floor but left it unharmed I picked up my staff spinning it around my body rushing at the nearest person seeing this everyone in the crowd was shocked but then cheered
Up were the noble and royalty sat Elise's frown eased a bit after seeing what happened then after a little of watching her future husband doing fine she started to smile beautifuly luckily most of the travelers didn't know what there quirk was yet so he just had to worry about the elements but he was able to dodge them Elise was happy seeing him fighting all these people ok she was worried about him at first when everyone turned all on one person but seeing that they couldn't keep up with him made her very happy she wanted to shout and cheer like the others but she had to maintain the appearance of a princess even in this situation
as she was watching she got a strong hateful feeling then seeing what was in his head Elise just sighed heavily shaking her head she feared this would happen she goes back to watching what was happening in the arena
A spear was being thrust to my stomach but I dodge to the side sweeping the attacker of there feet and thrust the end of my staff in there face knocking them out all around were like 30 people on the ground knocked out the others were hesitating to do anything " come on don't tell me this was all you guys had after make a show of turning on me" I said grinning under the skull mask some people may have found it stupid or funny at first but now they tense up if it just looks near them
Someone shot a stream of fire somewhere behind me as someone else shot a stream of water at me but I disappeared making the two hit each other as big steam cloud was formed spreading throughout the arena " I didn't think it was possible either but someone is actually defending against hundred people at once if what I'm reading here is right the traveler that has been getting attacked is named ghost " as the cheers kept going I heard them and I could swear I heard my name
As the steam was filling the arena I appeared at the edge of the steam cloud behind a woman spartan kicking her into it making her squeak like a door being opened then I used gravity to condensed the steam back into water which shocked everyone who was in the cloud before they could figure anything out I crouched put my hand in a light puddle of water " discharge " I say and lightning scattered in all directions using the water to help it and do more damage everyone who was near water or in it got electrocuted badly then knocked out
Before I could be happy with what I did someone came and grabbed my free wrist twisting it behind my back slamming there palm in my back discharging blue lighting I was stunned then I realized it wasn't hurting it then hit me this must be a quirk they are hitting me with my own lighting I smiled
" didn't you know mana loves me" I said as I get behind the woman who just did that putting my staff between our backs then I hooked her arm and flipped her over me slamming her into the ground before she did anything I kicked her in the face knocking her out
a sword slashed at me just as I was done I quickly ducked under the swing and grabbed the mans sword hand by the wrist then put my foot under his heel to trip him and toss him at a guy swinging a hammer at me the man with the hammer couldn't stop in time hitting the guy I just tossed knocking him out I swung my staff hitting the man with the hammer knocking him out too I felt a slight gust wind and I was just barely quick enough to miss a swipe with a dagger at me but it still nicked me giving me a good cut on the side
I grabbed the woman who just appeared by the arm before she got away slamming my knee into her elbow breaking her arm I grabbed her head next and slammed it into my knee as well she was out cold I then got attacked by a metal pike from behind again
I twisted out the way grabbing the shaft using it to block a flaming sword strike the metal pike started to heat up were it was hit then the sword cut through but before it hit me I hit its wilder with the end of my staff using gravity to multiple the force the person with the flaming sword was launched back hitting a wall not to far away then fell face first on the floor unmoving then I quickly twisted swing my staff into the pike guys stomach doing the same thing to him
I looked around after not getting attacked for a minute I was a little shocked to see everyone was knocked out it was silent again as everyone processed this " do to every other traveler being seriously injured or knocked out the winner of the tournament decided by the king is ghost do to the show of overwhelming power" the announcer said this broke every one out of there shock they all started cheering saying my name it was a pleasant feeling
I looked up to were Elise was and saw her smiling down at me I smiled back I knew she probably couldn't see it still couldn't help it though
