"Hand it over," I said to the person pinned on the ground while twisting his arm ever so lightly.
"I-I won't!" He said, looking at with the corner of his eyes while feeling difficulty seeing the person sitting on his back as...
"Ahh!!!!" He shouted, as that guy in but look like a standard butler uniform twisted his arm even more, "Jus-just stop it okay?! I'll hand it over!"
"So nice of you," I said, releasing my grip slowly, preparing in case this guy try to counter attack but fortunately he just handed over his paper before making a run, he can't afford to sustain any more injuries after all.
He still have a chance to win, and for that he has to find his partner who betrayed him as soon as they realised that they are loosing.
"You are good at fighting," mike said, walking towards me as I nods.
"Thanks," I said, not mentioning how he let go of the other one, knowing he won't like it.
It has been around an hour also since the round started and I have to say we are certainly having it easy, we have collected a total of five paper planes and have used to of them.
At the at which we are going, I can feel that in an hour or more, we will be out of this maze.
"Let's go," I said walking towards the next pair of participants on the other side of the wall as we walked toward them.
It certainly helped us a lot bataen Ne able to say who is on the other side by they remain completely oblivious on a presence. However, it has a downside that I only know there is someone there but not who.
"The Prince," Mike said, as look at the red hair boy who caused quite the commotion just a while ago, as he too looked at us.
So, I did but I thought was not sensible at that moment. I backed off and pushed Mike forward.
Should I go fight? No way who am I kidding. Everyone we encountered until now only had lower ranked talent and that's why I was able to over power them with Mike's help.
But against someone of this calibre, I don't think we stand at chance even when they can't use soul core and that's why we are going to do it the other way around.
"Negotiate..." I said lightly to Mike. "Just Negotiate, and make sure that this doesn't escalate into fight or... you are going to fail."

'What the heck?' I asked as I saw the Viewers count suddenly shooting up.
"You can call me, Avender. Nice to meet you." The red haired Prince said as he looked at me with his fierce red eyes.
'Is this guy the reason behind it?' I asked myself, looking at the guy in front of me. Even though I think of myself as handsome, I have to say that this guy is certainly more handsome than me and it certainly hurted my ego a bit.
If it was a story, this guy would have been a protagonist, maybe he is a the protagonist of this world, I am not sure but...
'I have to keep an eye on this guy...' Someone who can pull these mysterious viewers just from presence alone, he can't be that simple...

"Finally everyone! We have our last 32 Participants for the 3rd and last round!" The announcer said as I walked out of stage after completing the round.
After joining hands with the prince and the girl beside him who was also his fiance, the round was a walk in park as we cleared with soon enough, securing three places for those 3.
"Now for the last round, we will have knockout matches! That's right! It will be a one on one in 16 pairs and then 8! Top 8 will be decided then and 9th and 10th place will be selected in same knowck out format of the losing 8 participants!"
Saying so, the announcer take a pauce and let his words sink in the crowd. "And all these matches will be taking place simultaneously! So let the fights... Begin!!"

"They won!" Maya said as she cheered calling Mike and Evan's name loudly from the stands.
"Yes, they did..." Oliver said with a relieved smile on his face, feeling proud of himself of the judgement he made about Evan.
Now, it all depends on luck, of it favours it and Mike is matched up with weaker opponents, he will still get in top 10.
"I will go talk with Mike," Oliver said as Maya nods, "Be quick," Maya said, as Oliver stand up and with one last look on the stage, he left.

Flashy, it was all to flashy, as I saw how many people fight with each other and this new way of fighting really was different that what I was used to.
They were all Soldiers so all of their's fighting technique was same, that was some body part of the para-demons they refined appeared on their body.
Hey were just imaginary parts tho, like made up lines, a 3D drawing in various colours and completely see through, some people have it as legs, ears, arms, eyes, etc.
The prince meanwhile has wings, which let him fly, damn I envy him for being able to fly. But there was something more to him, it was that he was able to breath fireballs...
"I... I won," Mike said as I turned my head to look at him, bloodied and exhausted, but still emerging victories after a well fought battle as his imagination rock hands disappeared.
Looking at his right, I saw a young man who appeared to be of same age as Mike (around 16) effortlessly crushing his opponent.
Oh, and it seems that he will also be Mike's next opponent and looking at both of them, I only have one thought...
"It will be a tough fight..."
Who said that?
