"A mission of 10,000 Drachmas? This mission won be easy" Though Alfonso.
"Miss Alice? What's wrong?" Asked Cecil.
"No, it's nothing" Said Alice.
At that moment, Alice felt a familiar aura.
"You will have to excuse me, miss Cecil, I will come back for the finals" Said Alice.
"Aren't you going to stay until the end of the match?" Asked Cecil.
"It's pointless, the match is already over" Said Alice.
Alice turned around and walked down the balcony.
...................................................................
"Huff…Huff…" Jericho was out of breath.
It has been almost 5 minutes all attacks without resting.
To last this long showed how well trained Jericho was.
"Huff~" Dino was also a bit exhausted with their exchange.
"Do I have to use it?" Though Dino.
"But…"
Before the tournament, Alfonso and Dionysius had a meeting in the hotel.
"Dionysius"
"Yes?"
"In the arena, don't use your god's powers"
"Huh? Why?"
"There are a lot of enemies on all sides, I want them to attack first, and the best way to allure a predator, is to make them think that we are the prey" Said Alfonso.
"I don't quite get it, but if you say so uncle~"
"For that, I can only use my physical strength" Though Dino.
"Kid, it seems that you are exhausted as well" Said Jericho.
"Not so much~, what about you old man? It seems that you are about to faint" Said Dino.
"Not so far for the truth, so, how about we finish with the next attack?" Asked Jericho.
"I like that idea" Said Dino.
Dino and Jericho jumped to the edge of the arena.
Dino's soul aura rose, a red aura surrounded him.
"That's…!" Said Katy.
Cecil smiled.
"Will power aura… only will users can have manifested their aura as something visible, gifted ones can't manifest it because their power comes from the gods" Said Katherine.
"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!? HOW CAN A LITTLE BRAT BECOME A WILL USER!?" Said Katy.
"I see… so that's how it was" Thought Jericho.
The soul aura of Jericho rose as well, although his aura couldn't be seen, his momentum rose.
""LET'S GO!""
Jericho and Dino's aura exploded!
Both run towards each other, Jericho lifted his sword with all his might while Dino used all his soul power on his arm to counterattack!
BOOM!
An explosion occurred at the center of the arena.
"Ugh!"
"Ha!!"
Jericho and Dino stood on standby, the sword and Dino's punch stood still without moving!
Jericho's soul power was creating waves of energy that rippled the shirt of Dino, on the other hand, Dino's soul aura was, bit by bit, destroying the sword of Jericho.
"Damn it" Smiled Jericho.
*Crack* *Crack*
The sword finally, after some seconds, broke in pieces while the punch of Dino hit the chest of Jericho.
"UGH!"
Jericho's momentum ended while he grabbed his chest in pain.
"Ha…ha…ha…ha" Dino breathed heavily while his fist bleed from the pieces of the sword that were incrusted in it.
"I lost…" Said Jericho.
Dino smiled and extended his arm.
"You are strong, old man!" Said Dino.
Jericho looked at Dino and smiled, he grabbed the arm of Dino and stood up.
"You as well, kiddo!"
"WINNER, DINO!"
"WOAHHHHHH!" The audience applauded while Dino helped Jericho and walked with him to the restroom.
"Well, miss Alice was right like always" Said Ezequiel.
"Indeed" Said Katherine.
"Damn it!" Though Katy.
"So the finals is between miss Alice and the Leister family" Said Cecil.
"Mom…" Radiel looked at her mom with nervousness.
"Little girl, don't be nervous" Said Cecil while patting her head.
"IT'S TIME FOR THE FINALS!!" Shouted the judge.
.......................................................................
Alice walked to the party hall, there, the nobles who weren't interested in the battles were talking and making alliances.
"The Leister family sure is fortunate, to have such a handsome and powerful son" Said one noble.
"Miss Jaira, you flatter me" Said a young man with a radiant smile.
Alice looked at the man, he was tall and had a kind smile, he had short blonde hair and wore a blue coat and white pants.
"Alexander Leister" Though Alice.
Alexander and Katy were 2 of the five sons of the Leister family, although they were sons of a concubine, their rights were almost as good as their brothers and sisters.
"If I am not wrong the only one without powers is Katy" Though Alice.
Katy was the only normal person between the five brothers, funny enough, this made her the most notorious one.
"It seems that the patriarch of the Leister family dotes on her a lot"
"You must be miss Alice, right?"
Alice turned to her right and saw a middle-aged man looking at her.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Fetro, from the Eldritch family" Said the middle-aged man.
The Eldritch family was a vassal family of the Leister family.
"Basically the dogs of the Leister family" Though Alice.
Despite her thoughts, Alice smiled brightly and bowed.
"A pleasure to meet the representatives of the well-known Eldritch family"
Fedro seemed pleased with himself as he put his hand on Alice's waist.
"I heard the rumors about your beauty and you live to them, hehe"
"Do you want to accompany me to somewhere less crowned… "
Alice smiled and touched the hand of the man.
"I will give you five seconds to take out your hand from me" Said Alice.
"What"
"Four"
"This bitch…"
"Three"
"How dare you"
"Two"
"I will fucking-"
"One"
"Time out"
Alice didn't do anything; she didn't even lift the man's hand from her she just turned to look straight at the man's eyes.
"[Nightmare world]"
The eyes of Alice shone in a bright green.
Alexander, who was talking with the nobles suddenly turned around towards the direction of Alice.
"Just now…" He murmured.
However, it was like a flash, it happened in a second, it was like it has never been there.
"But I definitely felt something" Thought Alexander.
He looked once more in the direction of Alice but notice that not only her but Fetro had disappeared as well.
"I have a bad feeling about this…" Thought Alexander.
