Chapter 181: Team Battles [3]
Chapter 181: Team Battles [3]
***
After all three of them were done formulating a plan, they stood up when their names were called out.
Looking at the caller, he saw a familiar figure with red hair and blazing crimson eyes.
Professor Maxville, the one from Elemental Training back then.
Listening to his call, the trio proceeded past the crowd to the empty area where the pods were lined up.
While passing through, Amon and Alya heard good luck calls from their friends.
"Good luck you two." Charlotte smiled.
"Fuck 'em up, bro." Ren made a sign at Amon.
"It shouldn't be too difficult, be careful out there you two." Elizabeth cautioned.
"You can do it man, good luck." Michael patted his back.
Then for a second, he stopped and spoke up again.
"Good luck as well...sis."
Alya stopped for a second, before turning back with a smile.
"Thanks, bro." She gave him a small thumbs-up.
Amon turned to Adam, who was looking forward, waiting for them to be done.
A smirk spread across Amon's features.
"No friends?"
Adam shrugged.
"Never found a need for them."
"Even though they could be stronger than you? Wouldn't you be always able to battle them then?"
Adam instantly shook his head without hesitation.
"Never met one."
Amon was a little surprised.
He wanted to say that it was his fault that he never tried meeting one.
Adam always waited for himself to meet a person stronger than him, never trying on his own despite his desire to find one.
'What a lazy guy...' He thought.
But then, an idea came to his mind.
He looked back at Adam.
"But I'm stronger than you." Amon tried to hide his smirk.
Adam's mouth twitched subtly, still irritated by the fact a little.
"Where are you trying to go with this?"
Amon shrugged.
"I'm just calling back to what you just said. Where you said that you see no need for friends because they aren't stronger than you."
Adam squinted his eyes.
"So basically, you are saying that you could be my friend because you are stronger than me?" Amon nodded.
"You are smart to understand what I mean."
"I'm not dumb." Adam retorted.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"So you want to be my friend?" Adam raised his brow.
Amon raised his shoulders to a shrug.
"I mean, I'm not against it. Up to you though."
Adam pondered on it for a second before looking at him, his eyes having a certain glimmer to them.
"Does that mean I'll be able to fight you whenever I want?"
Amon nodded while raising his lips in an action that seemed to say 'Yeah, pretty much.'
"Almost, yeah."
Adam nodded instantly.
"Okay, we can be friends."
Amon smiled subtly.
"Nice."
Then both of them stared at each other for multiple seconds before Adam broke the
awkwardness.
"So..."
"What are we supposed to do now?" He asked.
In all honestly, even Amon didn't have much experience in the starting of a friendship.
He, Michael, and Ren had just clicked together as if they were pieces cut from the same cloth.
He recalled back to what they did when they first met each other and tilted his head.
"Shake hands?"
"How do you do that?" Adam asked him, tilting his head back while Amon stared at him incredulously.
"Seriously?"
"What?" Adam asked.
Amon sighed and extended his hand while grabbing Adam's hand from the other hand and wrapping it in a handshake to his extended hand.
"That's how you do a handshake."
Adam was surprised for a second.
"Oh, you call this handshake. I have seen people do it around the streets. Thought it was just a
wrestling gesture."
'Is this guy for real?' Amon thought inwardly.
[I kinda like this guy.] Vain spoke from his mind.
[He's too dumb.] Zephyra retorted.
"...I see." Amon nodded.
At that time, Alya was finally done and they were ready to go.
Proceeding out of the crowd, Adam spoke to him.
"You are getting a lot of stares."
Amon raised his shoulders.
"It's to be expected, I'm one of the only two penta-elemental mages in the human continent
after all."
Adam nodded.
"Yeah, even I never expected that to happen."
Amon wasn't surprised.
After his big reveal, he also knew that the news would take no time to transfer to the Imperiac.
What they thought about it or what they wanted to do with him and Michael was still not
known.
But it wouldn't be long before they would send news of what to do to Arthur.
And from what Amon remembered in the novel, it should be after the match.
In the novel, they had created quite a ruckus at Michael's reveal.
But this time there were two mages, so Amon was anticipating their reaction.
Walking up to the pods, Amon was about to pick his pod with the team before his name was
suddenly called out.
"Amon Ashford." "Hmm?" Amon looked at Maxville who gestured for him to come to him.
Walking up to the burly bearded man, he saw him scrutinize him.
"Due to the unstable nature of your 5th element, it may overload the space due to your sheer
amount of elements." He said, referring to [Void] from the unstable nature probably.
Amon nodded, understanding what he meant.
"Yes, and so because of that, you are only allowed to use 3 elements per match. You can
change them after each match, but now within the match. Choose what you want and inform
me before each match."
Amon was surprised for a second but he nodded.
He thought that they would just restrict him from using [Void] since that was another way
how he could avoid the overload.
But he understood this decision.
'They want to research [Void].' But not like Amon minded it.
'Sure, go ahead and take notes. It would be beneficial for me anyways.' He shrugged.
The more they could discover about the element, the better it was for him so who was he to
complain?
Looking at Maxville, he spoke up.
"I see, I understand, I'll use Void, Blood, and Lightning." He said.
Maxville raised his brows which was to be expected.
They didn't know what his spatial element was called, calling it corrupted space often.
"Is it called [Void]?" He asked and Amon nodded.
"Alright, you can go back now."
Amon bowed before running back to his team.
The other 2 had already settled into their pods so they were just waiting for him to start the
link.
And so, Amon sat into the pristine white pod and closed his eyes, embracing the endless
darkness.
And so, in a minute, a notification appeared before his eyes in the endless darkness.
[Welcome to FULLDIVE!]
And immediately, his senses distorted.
