Chapter 52: Tournament - Part 1 (2/2)

In the stands, the groups were separated into holographic numbers and colors; the group that Amon was in was green. Ariel and Julia's was purple.

Leaving the arena, they went to the space set aside for them.

Amon looked at the first group with complete disinterest. At most, it seemed to have someone with 40 genetic unlocks, but they weren't even filled.

”And, begin!” The referee shouted as the protective barrier was erected in a dome shape around the stadium.

Soon the fighting began. Some, who knew each other, or from the same school, formed groups while attacking the other participants. Elijah and Maicon did just that.

After watching the battle for a few minutes, Amon's interest was totally dead. It was worse than he imagined, and even the twins and Barbara were stronger than them. Not to mention Ariel, who was second only to Amon.

It was quite disappointing.

Amon sighed.

'I hope there is someone stronger in the other groups.' Amon closed his eyes as he preferred to meditate.

Even Julia, Maisa, and Barbara thought they were pretty bad. I mean, they were full of flaws and unnecessary movement. It wasn't even a question of power; it was more the fact that the way they used their powers seemed very mediocre. Very few were worth looking at a second time.

'Has Maicon always been so weak?' Ariel also lost interest when she saw how weak Maicon was. Before, he seemed to be strong, but now... 'As expected, training with Amon was the best thing I did.' She smiled.

.

.

Almost 1 hour later, the first group ended. Among the finalists, Maicon and Elijah managed to survive. They were sweating profusely, with some bruises, but had a smug smile as they looked in Amon's direction.

'Hehe... Next is you!' Elijah cast a meaningful look in Amon's direction.

Maicon clenched his hands into fists and looked at Ariel, only to notice that she wasn't even looking in his direction. It made his heart bleed...

Soon, Maicon turned the blame to Amon and glared at him, 'Son of a bitch, if you make it through the qualifiers, pray you don't go against me!' Then, he swore he would defeat Amon and make him look ugly in front of Ariel.

”A round of applause for the 100 finalists!” The referee yelled.

*Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!Clap! Clap!*

By the standards of this planet, their fight was pretty satisfactory, and soon everyone started clapping as they whistled and shouted the name of the 100 who made it through the qualifiers.

When they left and went to the stands, the next group entered just as the protective barrier left.

The other two students were in the second group. They went to the stadium with the other participants, and, soon, the protective barrier was raised again.
