749 Overpowering force (1/2)

Although the leaders were trusted not to get into a brawl, the same couldn't be said for those that followed them. It wasn't too long ago that each of these powers were at each other's throats.

When Quinn entered, Mona noticed that Owen's shoulders were moving up and down slightly, the fan still covering his face, but it was clear that he was happy about something, chuckling to himself.

”You seem to believe in this boy a lot,” Mona said. ”I watched your interview and I was surprised by your answer. I admit that the boy seems strong, but I wonder why you think so highly of him?”

Oscar was listening in, but he also felt the same way, why did Owen believe in him so much? Back at the inter tournament, sure the kid showed promise and anyone would have been lucky for him to join their side, as he would be a sure asset to a faction in the future. But that's all Oscar could see, the future potential in Quinn. As the inter base tournament was only a year ago. How much could one improve in a year?

”At first I didn't,” Owen said. ”It was just a slight interest, but eventually that started to grow. Like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. He has only been an interesting subject to me, that was until I gave him a little test. You remember the blonde haired boy from before?”

It was clear Owen was talking about Sil, the one in the Blade family. Oscar was aware of this kid and had heard about them not wanting him to participate. Whatever the reason, it was something that the others didn't want him to know about, so he would have to try to do his own research about it later on.

Mona just nodded not wanting to give too much information away.

”Well, one day that boy came to me, asking me about their location. I gave it to them, thinking I would never see him again and when he returned, that boy was by his side. If he can escape from those monsters, then this will be a walk in the park for him.”

'Monsters, did the kid escape from some powerful beasts.' Oscar thought.

At that moment, Mona realised just how powerful Quinn was, as she was unsure, if that was something even she could do.

When Quinn walked onto the battle floor, dark shadows started to cover his body, and soon his equipment was visible on him, as the shadows disappeared. However when the others saw what the equipment looked like, they were quickly disappointed.

”Most of their leader's gear seems to be at the king tier level.” Helen said as if she was disappointed but at the same time what she had expected.

Both Paul and Nate, also didn't have equipment above the king tier level, even though their equipment was now better than before.

”It's because of our equipment,” Paull replied, making sure his clawed gloves were on properly.

Recently, their weapons and armour had been upgraded to king tier, most factions would die to have equipment like this, but here it was seen as nothing special.

Quinn, when using his shadow equip had decided not to put on his emperor tier equipment apart from his gauntlets. It had great defence but slowed him down. He felt like this wasn't the time to use it and could always switch midway through the match if needed to. Shadow equip took less than a second to cast.

Another piece of equipment he didn't equip on, was his mask. The was due to Duke being at the scene. When Quinn went around the school as the night demon, he did so using his blood abilities not using his shadow abilities.

Besides he knew he wouldn't be needing it in a fight like this.

Watching from the sidelines, Layla had her hands behind her back with her fingers crossed, begging that Quinn would be able to win this match without getting hurt.

”Are there any rules about accidental deaths?” Quinn asked, while looking in the direction of the Daisy gang.

”If someone does die, then they can replace that person with someone from their faction for the next duel.” Oscar replied.

”This kid,” Tulk chuckled. ”You didn't need to ask that question, because we were about to find that out in this match.”

Quinn didn't reply, as he just continued to look in the direction of Daisy. Not even caring about those in front of him.

'Again, they nearly killed someone I cared for in front of me. I was here this time, but what if I wasn't?'

”The match between Pure Team B, against the Cursed faction A will now begin!” Oscar shouted.

As soon as the match began, Quinn raised his hand and pointed it at the man known as Tulk.
