456 Tournament 1.7 (1/2)

What happened was simple, and fast.

As soon as the referee started the match, the twins played rock, paper scissors.

Pyra threw rock while Mira threw paper. From the nature of the game, Mira wins. As since Pyra lost, she directly admitted defeat and walked out of the arena along with Mira, leaving behind a dumbfounded crowd. Even the referee and the whole management was surprised by this, but it seems that the twin never had any intentions to fight with each other at all.

Back in the room of Albert and the rest, Raven roared in laughter as he found this scene extremely amusing and hilarious.

”Well, well! What a match isn't it?” He said while wiping some tears from the corner of his eyes. ”In the end, we can't really expect them to fight against each other now, do we?”

”I guess not.” Albert shook his head while still a bit frazzled on his seat. ”They don't seem to care about what other people might think, even more so for the prize itself.”

”Although this match, if I could even call it that, has been strange and fast. Just like Nephew said, we really can't expect them to fight against each other. In the end, this might be a silent opposition from the twins to those who thought that pitting them against each other was a great idea.”

”I agree.” Raven nodded, ”Look, neither of them even bothered to wait until the declaration of the winner. The faces of those excited for this 'fight' are quite fantastic too!”

Looking outside, the whole stadium was still silent from what happened just now.

Those who were expecting a fantastic and heated battle, were left feeling extremely aggrieved and disappointed. They anticipated the most for this match since they are expecting the twins to be equally powerful and thus, will cause the fight to be extremely intense and heated.

But it was a pity that neither the twins were having any of that.

They didn't come here to entertain the crowd, be objectified and be used to hurt each other. In truth, the attraction of the ticket for a Spiritual Treasure wasn't so alluring to them at all. If one of them could claim the first place, then its good. If they can't, then there's no need to force it. Either way, just by participating in the tournament, they'll receive a spiritual treasure ticket anyway. There's no need for them to risk a limb for that.

In the end, the referee announced that Mira had won the battle, which didn't even garner any cheers or applause from anyone. The whole stadium's atmosphere was awkward and silent. Even the referee himself doesn't know how to disperse this situation.

In the end, he just made an announcement that the fourth match of the day will occur shortly.

This battle is between Ryan Northson and Madman Floyd.

When Raven saw who's going to fight next, he couldn't help but feel some sort of anticipation bubbling within him.

Coming from the left side, was a tall man who had a long silver hair and lashes. His face was calm but it also radiated a profound coldness within. The maroon uniform of the sect he wore further accentuated his etherealness. His movements were gentle and elegant, he had an aura of a noble around him.

”Oh my! Who is he?”

”So handsome!”

”It's the Pale Ice Prince! Ryan Northson! God, he looks so good on that uniform!”

”Pale Ice Prince? That fits him quite nicely.”

”I wonder if he's betrothed already?”

”Whether he is, or he isn't. It's none of your business.”

”Hmph! How rude.”

The crowd exploded in cheers and fanatical screams as soon as they saw Ryan walking towards the arena. Ryan on the other hand, doesn't appear to care about what they say or what they want to say. He didn't even spare a single glance to the crowd.

This man, is Ryan Northson. Known to many as the Pale Ice Prince and was also rumored to posses a Perfected Deity's Champion Physique.

On the right side, comes a man with a long spiky hair. He was similarly tall and his body was also bulky. Some people who looked at him felt repulsed by his rough appearance. This man's face has at least five large scars. His pupils were dull, almost lifeless even. It was as if he was operating in an unconscious manner. He was wearing a long black cape on top of his uniform. And unlike Ryan's aura, his was filled with violence and aggressiveness.

This man, was known as Madman Floyd by many people.

Although many people noticed his presence, no one dared to say anything about him, specially those who have heard rumors about him. They kept everything to themselves and waited until the match starts.
