6 Months Later,
It was time for the tournament. The academy was busy today. There was posters everywhere. They displayed upperclassmen students against each other. I even found some of me and Naksi. It said 'Battle to see who's the strongest'. I guess people are excited to see our fight as well. I saw Maz and Zaneff waiting at the line to enter the stadium. It was a huge black box right next to our school. As expected there was a lot of people. There were two lines. Spectators and Participants. There weren't any classes going on today so a lot of people came to spectate the match. There were also people who were from outside that came. It was a prestigious school so it makes sense that people would travel afar to come and see this. It reminded me of people coming to see my parents concerts in my previous life.
"So Shiebe why are you taking part. You don't seem like the type of guy to take part in anything that doesn't benefit your research."
"That's where you're wrong Zaneff. This will benefit my research by helping me test out my syreums against human opponents for future interactions with the council of despair."
"I see, that makes a lot of sense. Your always one step ahead huh"
"Well what can I say"
"You sure your not just here for the cash prize." Maz said
"That Cash prize has no meaning to me at all"
I didn't want to be seen as greedy by these kids. I couldn't really care less about testing out my syreum since I already have. I just need that money. After a while we got into the stadium. We were in the waiting room. It was full of posters and lighting, there were a lot of people in here. A lot of them were looking at me. Then a few people came towards me. One of them spoke up. She was a dwarf with black hair and glasses.
"H- Hello Mr Zackaria. I am Serena Vi Lopema a second year and president of the Shiebe Zackaria Fan Club. It's a pleasure to meet you"
The rest of the bowed down as well.
"Oh Um, It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I will do my best to uphold your expectations "
It seemed that in my short time at this academy. I had a fan club.
After everyone entered an announcement played.
"Dear, all participants. Welcome to Henokai Academy 48th Annual Tournamnet of the strong. We will go over the rules for you first years.
" The tournament will last for 3 days. With each day being 1 round. Round 1 is known as the beginner trails. Participants will be selected at random to face each other in a 1v1. The winner will move on to round 2 and the loser will be disqualified. Round 2 is known as the Strength trail. Participants will be against those who share similar strength levels and Round 3 is the final round the remaining participants will fight until there is only 1 winner. To win against your opponent you need to knock them out or take them out of bounds. Killing is not allowed and will lead to you being expelled from the academy. That is it. Please wait here until your name is called out to fight. Thank you."
Looks like this is it. Everyone looked determined. This was going to be fun.
"Hey Shiebe there's something I should tell you."
"Huh what is it Zaneff"
"There's a lot of upperclassmen who have entered this tournament specifically so they can fight you. I'm sure they want to see what you're made of so be careful."
"I see, I should have assumed that people would come after me since I'm a Zackaria. Thanks for the advice"
It doesn't matter if they do. I may be in a 10 year old body but I was tall and strong for m age it could be because of my fathers and mothers genetics or the fact that I was reincarnated but I won't go down without a fight.
"SHIEBE ZACKARIA VS DIMO LORENZO"
Of course, I should have expected that everyone wants to see me fight first and it's against that girl Dimo. I hadn't spoken to her since the incident.
"You've got this Shiebe"
"Yeah kill that bitch"
"Thank's guys"
I made my way towards the door and outside to the field. As I made my way the crowd cheered my name.
"THE BOY WONDER. THE RED HAIR SLAYER AND A MEMBER OF THE FAMOUS ZACAKRIA FAMILY. ITS SHIEBE ZACKARIA!!!!!!!"
On the other side of the field. I saw Dimo come up. The crowd also chanted her name.
"A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY. THE PRINCESS OF DEATH AND THE EMPEROR OF THE UNDEAD. DIMO LORENZO!!!!"
I never knew she was a princess. Is that why she always thinks so highly of herself. Did the school know what happened between us. By the way, hell does he mean the princess of death and the emperor of the un-dead. Can she make like zombies. I looked at the top to see The principal smiling at me. She defiantly knew what happened.
"THE FIGHT WILL START IN 3, 2, 1 ANDDD GO!!!!!!"
The princess wasted no time. She touched the ground the moment he said go.
"I summon God of Death. Yubguoko"
Then the area around here turned black as black beams shot up to the sky. It then began to rain heavily. Slowly a being began to rose from the ground.
"THE PRINCESS IS GOING FOR IT IN THE FIRST FIGHT. SHE IS USING HER TRUMP CARD"
Trump card? Shit she must have a grudge against me huh. Well I won't stand around here doing nothing. The being fully rose from the ground. He was about 7ft tall and 5 arms. He was coated in a weird black substance.
The being headed towards me at full speed however. It was quick enough. I sent destructive energy to the bottom of my feet then charged it up using this I then jumped over the being. The princess didn't move from her place i guess she expected the monster to fight me. Once I was about to touch the ground I created a blast with my hands to send me back up and create a hole in the ground. I continued to do this in random areas of the field. The being had failed to catch up to me each time as it was too slow. I had created a trap in the stadium full of holes. It was going to be hard for it to peruse me without falling into one of the holes.
The princess then finally moved and so did the being. They both headed towards me. The princess started punching me but I was able to block most of her punches. Then the being came from behind and threw a punch but before it could hit me I jumped up in the air again making the punch hit the princess.
"What's wrong. I thought you were better than me. Don't tell me you were expecting this guy to beat me for you. Don't be pathetic"
Once I landed I threw an explosion at the monster which blew it up. It body part flew across the field as I slowly walked towards the girl.
"You insolent boy. Do you know who I am. You cannot defeat royalty."
A shield was created around her. Then the being was back. He was behind me and much faster. He grabbed the back of my shirt and threw across the field almost sending me out of bounds. Dimo then stood up and created an army of that being.
"I see so this your true strength"
"Let's settle this once and for all Zacakria"
"THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE BATTLE HAS CHANGED WITH DIMO GETTING AN UPPER HAND. WHAT WILL ZACKARIA DO"
