Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Rival I

"Incredible! He took him out with one punch, that was nowhere near him."[Kageno]

"Woah! That was ridiculous," I said. David was too powerful for anyone, the only way to beat him is to be faster than him.

He defeated his opponent without using any magic.

'I don't want to face him in the future, but I bet I will anyway.' I turned around to check on Theodora and found that she was now awake. She lifted herself up and sat upright on still in the bed.

"Are you feeling better now?" I asked. Timothy's attention was drawn away from the screen and towards us.

"Yeah, but it's not like I was seriously injured or anything." [Theodora]

I could tell from her expression that she was going to just fine from now. Timothy came closer so we could finally report our findings.

Timothy was about to speak until a knock at the door interested him. After a few seconds, the door slid opened to reveal Elizabeth behind it. At the same time, David was declared the winner on TV.

It turns out she had come here to apologise to Theodora. She said she had only realised after the match had ended that external magic was used to interfere with the match in her favour.

Theodora, Timothy and I looked at each other in confusion. Why was she apologising? She admitted she would have lost if that did not happen and promised to forfeit her next match.

She nodded and accepted her apology.

On TV, Oliver was being put on a stretcher to be taken away to the hospital. Has his childhood friend, I had to go and see him. When concluded that this discussion would be continued next time, first priority was Oliver.

The four of us managed to catch up to the medics before they could put him in the ambulance. He was out cold and so we did not have a chance to talk to him.

'I should visit him in the hospital.'

The next day, the sun rose from it's hiding place and lit up the one side of the land. Its rays shun through the window sheets and managed to catch my my attention through my eye lids.

I woke up and stretched myself to get rid of the morning stiffness. I got up and checked the top bunker to see if Timothy was asleep still, only to he was not here. 'He must be getting breakfast already.'

I neatly spread my bed and put on some clothes and I was off to the cafe. When I walked in, Timothy was nowhere to be found and I was starting to wonder where he might be. 'I know, he's getting ready for our fight this afternoon.'

With that though in mind, I got a table for myself and ordered. Next, I was going to do the same. I wouldn't want to lose, he'll no.

Half the day was gone already and the time for our match was nearing closer by the minute. After collecting the my SDE I set off to the arena.

Surprisingly, Timothy and Theodora were awaiting my appearance. It turns out, Theodora had been helping Timothy with his training for almost the whole day. Luckily, I was going a bit of training myself to not fall back.

After all, I wouldn't want to lose to my RIVAL.

"Hey Kelvin, I want to tell you some thing before you leave." [Theodora]

"What is it?"

"Good luck." [Theodora]

"Hey? What about me?" [Timothy]

"Ah, you too I guess." [Theodora]

"Uuh, you could at least sound a little convincing." [Timothy]

Both my parents where here and in the VIP room. If father didn't convince my mother to come, they would have never shown up. I could only guess the reason he was here was to see me fight, and maybe I could change his mind about me a little.

My sister Claire was here too. She also helped in convincing my mom. Aside from that, Claire was the only one in my family to ever show love for me and I cated for her. Even though I was unable to forefill my duties as her big brother.

Why?

Because she was stronger than me, and she was only 11 years old.

Again, all the leaders of the eight master clans were present and eager to see the out come. In there, it was Tencent vs Karuta.

"I'll be cheering for you both!" Theodora shouted as we made our way to the ring.

"Welcome back to the tournament and of the second day. I'm your friendly neighbourhood host, Reagun Kageno and I'm here again with the Student Council President, Bernard Kennedy." [Kageno]

"Thank you Kageno, and delighted to be back here with you. I say let's get right into the action. The first combatant is from the well known Karuta clan, Kelvin." [Benard]

On point I stepped out into the walk way to the ring. For some reason I didn't think to equipped myself with anything armor. I had a black track suit on that I only wore when I was training back home.

"And his opponent, you may know him as he played a big role in calming the storm dragon and earned himself the title The Storm through its blessing. Timothy Tencent." [Benard]

I was surprised to hear that and begun to worry a little bit about my plan working. He emerged from the other side greening from ear to ear. We both then felt excited about facing each other in battle.

"And his wearing a body suit," I said. The same brand as Theodora's suit, and the Tencent clan crest on the back. "I should get one of those myself."

A few minutes later we met in the ring at a good distance from each other.

The official gave the signal and the match begun.
