Chapter 9 - The Princess

I was blocked by these beings there wasn't much I could do but the look on Dimo's face was different from when she pressured Me and Zaneff. Back then she was smiling and being cocky however now she had a look of despair and hatred. I knew that look. It was the same one my father had before he killed me. She's angry at what I did to her. That was obvious but I feel like there's more to that. The beings approached me. They all circled around me moving in unison. The princess stood away from them. She was looking at the top of the stadium. She was looking at someone. Her hatred grew the longer she started there.

"IT LOOKS LIKE THE KING OF REINA HAS COME TO SEE HER DAUGHTER FIGHT."

The King of Reina. Henokai academy is in the Reina Continent. Meaning that this king oversees everything that happens here. I lived in the Deroko Continent one the richest and strongest continents in the world. 

It seems like she has issues with her dad. Guess we can both relate to that but I can't lose focus of my goal. I wanted to try out a new move. Something that could help me destroy groups of enemies. First I need to visualise my energy flowing through my entire body. Then all I had to do was release it. Once I focused on releasing it my body started to glow. The princess turned her attention back to me. The being stopped circling around me and started to all head for me at the same time. Before they could touch me time had stopped for about 5 seconds. I was still able to move though. Then I fully released my energy. An explosion like no other was released. This one had power to it. Black and red sparks of energy flew through out the stadium.

"AMAZING ZACKARIA HAS UNLEASHED A POWER LIKE NO OTHER"

So much for being under cover. I should calm down a bit. The beings around me had vanished but I couldn't see Dimo anywhere with all this smoke. Then I saw a silhouette of another one of those beings but when the fog had cleared it was destroyed and fell to the ground. It seemed like it was shielding Dimo since she took no damage.

"Listen, I don't really feel like dragging this one any longer than I have to let's just end this already"

It was no use. She didn't even look at me. All she did was look at her father with hatred. 

"Stop being distracted by your dad and fight me. I don't know why you hate him but It doesn't matter. You said you're going to settle this right so let's do it."

"What the hell do you know about me you stupid child. What the hell would you know about my life or my family. Stop talking like you know me at all. "

"And you should stop talking like your better than everyone. What gives you the right to call me an insolent child. You were rude to me the first day I came here even do I didn't do anything to you. You never apologised. You attacked me when I wanted to talk things out peacefully. Just what the hell is wrong with you!"

Then she stopped. Her eyes widened at my words. She clutched her fist and grit her teeth but had no hatred in her eyes. She was on the verge of tears. I wasn't really thinking when I spoke I just said what was on my mind. I guess I went a bit too far but I wasn't lying she has done nothing but hate on me since I came here. Then she started moving again. This time she was emitting a purple- blackish aura around her as shadows started to appear besides her. I got ready to fight again but then she spoke.

"I need to win. I can't lose. My whole life depends on this fight. My life in this Academy depends on this. If I lose I go home with my Dad. I don't want that. I don't want to lose. I want to stay here and live a normal life. I despise being royaltly so much. I HATE MY FAMILY."

Tears falling out of her eyes. Her and her shadows came rushing towards me. I rushed towards them at full speed. I wasn't going to expose myself. i need to calm down. Just beat them with using to much power like Luni taught you. Putting energy towards my fist I Ran past Dimo and ripped off the head of the shadow beside her. Something that I recently learnt was that you could transfer energy to objects meaning if I give this head my energy It will turn into a bomb. I grabbed as many as I could. They couldn't fight back no matter how many more she would make They weren't powerful. I had about 50 heads. One by one i started throwing them and like I said it blew up. I was destroying them faster than she could make them. Once there was a huge gap I rushed towards the princess and punch her in the face. I was going to knock her out or blast her out of the stadium. The longer this match goes the more riskier it is for to get exposed and I was feeling tired from the amount of energy I was using. Sorry Dimo but I need to end this fast as well. The punch only sent her away a few feet though. The dead bodies of the beings on the floor blocked the impact. 

The stadium had been quiet since Dimo spoke. Not even the commentator dared to speak. 

I ran towards her aiming for another punch but she blocked it with her arms then grabbed my right arm it wasn't enough to stop me though as I sent energy to flow through my right arms but I didn't release it fully. I just covered the outside of my right arm in it which caused a small explosion between her hand and my arm allowing me to get away. Then the sun came out and shone on me. A princess with a troubled past. This tournament means a lot to her. She is throwing everything she has at me and has a better reason for doing this compared to me. However, I can't lose. I refuse to. Call it selfish or greedy I don't care. 

I rushed back at her charging my fist for a blast. 

"I'm sorry Dimo but I can't lose it here. I mustn't. I'm fighting for a stupid reason compared to yours. You are fighting for a place in this academy. You hate your family and go don't want to go back. I know someone who felt the same way as you. He hates his life and wishes he had new parents. I don't know all the details and I know it's meaningless coming from me but I hope you can forgive me for doing this."

"Shiebe. I- I'm sorry for what I did. I was upset. I was upset that someone like you that had a perfect life acts all moody now that it was taken away. Truth is there are a lot of people that are jealous of you and wish they could live your life. I'm one of them. I know what I did was wrong but I still want to fight. I- I don't want to go home."

As her tears dropped to the ground. My blast headed towards her knocking her out the stadium.

It was over. I had won the fight. The sun that was one was gone as it shone on her. You could say that she was a complex person suffering from many things in her life. Just like I did.
