Chapter 109 - Powerhouse (1/2)

A group of doctors had quickly come to the scene to take Monk away. Martha had insisted that she had to go with them. At first, they were insistent that she couldn't come but she refused to move from the arena until they let her. In the end, Wilfred allowed Martha to head off to the medical bay with Monk.

Wilfred quickly jumped up from the arena to the two announcers that were just off to the side slightly above the crowd. They were currently trying their best to calm down the crowd with small talk. Once Wilfred had informed them of the situation, they made an announcement.

”Everyone, we would like to let you know that unfortunately one of the contestants in the tournament has been injured but fear, not the injury was not fatal and the student will be back in top condition in just a few hours. What this means though, is the next match between Monk and Jasmine, Jasmine will be declared the automatic winner.”

There had been incidents of this happen in tournaments of the past before. That's why Avrion academy had put in so many safety measures this year. Such as having a top medical team on standby and having two master knights in the ring.

If Wilfred and Sir K hadn't been able to hit the arrow with their Sword Ki, then perhaps Monk wouldn't have been so lucky.

After hearing that the wound wasn't so serious the crowd quietened down and were ready for the last and final match of the day.

The last match was between Ian and Geo.

”Be safe man,” Dan said to Ian as he walked up to the stage.

Currently, Only Dan, Kyle, Sloth, Badger and Ray were stood at the side. Gary, Slyvia, Monk and now Martha had all been taken to the medical bay after their fights.

”Go on big guy!” Badger and Sloth shouted.

Badger and Sloth had become friendly with Ian after the dragon knight training sessions. Ian was kind to everyone and unlike them, he hardly got bullied due to his large size. Ian would often step in to help them when he would see people treating the two differently around the Academy.

”Ray come on, let's say something. We have to show our support too.” Kyle said.

”You can do it, you're the strongest hunk I know!” Kyle shouted.

Ian's ears started to burn as he was getting slightly embarrassed by his team's praises.

Kyle then gave a nudge to Ray as he noticed Ray still hadn't said anything.

Finally, Ray managed to mumble out a few words.

”You can do it,” Ray said in a quiet soft voice, it was so quiet that Kyle was the only one that heard him.

The two contestants had finally entered the stage. Ian was holding his two one-handed axe's. With the money from Ray and his own savings, Ian was able to upgrade them into intermediate weapons. But the rest of Ian's equipment was lacking.

The weapons he was holding was the only piece of beast gear he currently had. On the other side of the arena was Geo, who was just as big as Ian. Geo wielded a heavy two-handed Axe. It was hard to tell what level it was but it looked better than Ian's. Not only that Geo also had beast gear covering most of his body.

”Do you think Ian can win?” Kyle asked Ray.

After seeing all the Gear that geo was wearing, Kyle was starting to feel nervous for Ian. Ian had always relied on his strength in matches but Geo looked just as big and strong. If two people were just as strong as each other, then Kyle couldn't help but think the equipment would give Geo the edge.

”Just watch the fight, I think you will be in for a nice surprise.”
