Chapter 24 - Round One (1/2)

After introducing the combatants to the audience, a box was brought into the arena.

”You are to pick only one lot and whoever picks the lot with number zero, will automatically advance to the next stage. Now come forward according to the number on your tag and you are not allowed to open your lot until you are instructed to do so” instructed the elder.

After the instructions, they begin to move forward to pick their lot according to the number they are wearing. When it got to Jason's turn, he couldn't help but hesitate since there are only two lots left on the box.

”Just take a look at that kid, he is so scared that he couldn't even pick a lot and let the next person pick his lot” said Dennis out loud so that everyone can hear.

And the audience responded with a laugh and began to comment on the word, which put a smile on Andrew's face since they were able to cause Jason a little problem before the fight.

”Come on kid, just pick one already and stop making a fool of yourself” said the bracelet.

Taking a deep breath, Jason finally picked a lot before going back to where he stood before. After everyone has made their pick, the box was taken away before the elder came forward with his hand behind his back.

”Now you can open your lot” said the elder.

They begin to open their lot and they begin to search for their opponent except for Jason who just stood there stunned as he looked at the number that was written on his lot.

”You are truly lucky kid, now you don't have to worry about fighting now so take this time to study all their fight” advises the bracelet.

”Is that really necessary I mean, they can still change their fighting method in the next round so I don't see a reason why I should study them” reply Jason.

”You are naive if you think you don't need to study them. Let me asked you this question if you are being attacked by a technique you know about, wouldn't you be able to counter it with a move” asked the bracelet.

”Of course I will, it is only an idiot that will be hit so easily” reply Jason.

”And you are that idiot since you have the opportunity to know their every move but refuse to” said the bracelet.

”Hey will you stop insulting me, I never knew that was what you are implying” reply Jason.

While Jason was speaking with the bracelet, the elder voice rang out.

”Now you may be wondering who you are up against and I believe you all are mentally prepared since you have been preparing for the event cause your match starts now. But before we begin, who is holding the zero lot” asked the elder as he begins to look at the combatants before him.
