Chapter 140 - Spear Against Fists (1/2)
(Not edited yet)
The battles of the Tournament of Legends is nationally known for being the sensational fights that the general public usually can't see, and the playoffs are the main attractions of this grand competition.
In the year 512, only thirty-two competitors made it to this final stage, and among them, only one could be declared the Champion. The fights began in the early evening and were to go on until the last took place, even at dawn.
Amongst so many fierce battles, there was not one that did not excite the audience. Every fight featured young and extraordinary people like Adven, Robin Ballard, Serena Daren, Hanemiya Sallow, and Kiririn Sallow. And each battle, Nathalia became more and more anxious.
Since Nebezial defeated Shiro, Nathalia was apprehensive about who she would fight. Still, when a man named 'The Previous' and another boy were called, Nathalia already knew who her opponent would be. There was a very energetic girl in the other corner of the ledge; although Nathalia didn't know her title, Nathalia recognized the symbol of the color she was wearing.
This necklace was a large medallion that hung around the unknown girl's neck and had a notch that looked like an ocean wave. Out of the corner of her eye, this girl also looked at Nathalia, and realizing that she was being stared at, the energetic girl decided to approach.
Leaping up, she approached and spoke loudly as Mikaela began the other battle:
”Hello, I am 'The legendary pugilist from Parato'.” She announced and raised her biceps to show them off. They were indeed quite large for a thin-looking girl. ”Haha! Just kidding, my name is Kaga.”
”Nice to meet you. My name is Nathalia.” The white-haired Elf replied, slightly strange at the girl's friendliness in front of her.
In truth, Kaga was different from all the participants present in the stands. While everyone else looked severe, tense, and grumpy, Kaga cheered during the battles and shouted with the crowd when something annoying happened, as well as thrilled when amazing skills were displayed.
This girl was by far the most humble-looking because she wasn't wearing shiny armor or giant weapons; in fact, she was wearing simple pants, a top to cover her breasts, and sashes wrapped around her feet, hands, and a little under her top.
”Apparently, we're going to fight in a little while. Good, because I was tired of waiting.” Kaga revealed and began stretching her right arm out to the side.
”I think you should understand that this Elf over there is shaking with fear...” A man shouted from the back of the participant stands. He had a parted fringe that almost covered his two eyes, and everyone knew he was Adven, a swordsman.
Nathalia was surprised by Adven's intrusion because she was about to wish Kaga a good fight, only she didn't get the chance. Still, no one could predict the way Kaga reacted to that comment.
”Adven, you're a man, so you should at least have the better education than a teenager, no?” She said, lifting some of the muscles in her mouth as a sign of her disgust.
The swordsman just clicked his tongue and turned his face to Kaga.
”And 'The Previous' kills his opponent! You didn't hear wrong, he actually killed 'The Barber'!” Mikaela announced as her hologram reappeared in the Arena.
