64 A Prankster Vs A Switcher! (2/2)
”This is bad.” I say as Sherry gave Damien a smirk. ”What is bad?!” Jacob questions me with a huge concern on his face.
”Switch Magic.” Sherry snaps her finger.
Not even a single ounce of sound was heard and all we saw was...One palm...One palm sending Damien flying straight behind me and crashing into the wall. The attack was thrown by Shuichi Kotaro...That was no magic...
”Very interesting...A boy who can control the chi of the environment. A chi manipulator huh?” Cao Ping says. Then he looks at the person who leads Squad Rizing. ”I believe the only person who is capable of fighting him...Is you, Henry Marshal...But your look says that your terrified of this man. Why are you terrified now, when you have been calm throughout all of this tournament? I wonder...I wonder...”
”Don't worry, we just thought that that mister over there was quite a big threat so we had to bring out one of our big guns too.” Rita says pointing at an injured Damien who Sophie carries. ”I will take him to the hospital.” Sophie says to me. I nod.
Shuichi begins to get off the arena. I can't believe this...All of a sudden...The ties are in their favour. I am sweating...Tsch! Too much pressure. The audience is giving a reaction of this was expected. I sigh. Cyan looks to be getting a sad face and so does Sean. They both don't know what to say after that attack. I look to the side and there stood Denvil laughing with joy.
”I will be your next opponent.” Flora says as she walks towards the arena.
The captain of Squad Rizing was beginning to lose hope looking down at the ground and thinking for the first time...That he had lost all hope...Until...
”What are you so worried about?!” I look up in front of me. It was the same blonde haired girl who I saw for the first time fighting against Jacob. Her hair floating with the wind and her long blue skirt swirled as she turned around. ”Are you forgetting that you are our vice-captain?! The vice-captain of Squad Rizing?! Is this how you plan to be a vice-captain of a knight's squad?!” It reminded me of when mother first stood up for me...When I beat up those noble kids...
”NEVER FORGET THIS, HE IS MY SON, THE SON OF A RETIRED KNIGHT, HE IS HENRY MARSHAL, JILL MARSHAL'S ONLY SON! AND HE WILL BE THE KNIGHT WHO WILL LOOK UP INTO HIS OPPONENTS EYES AND SHALL SHOW NO FEAR IN HIS! THAT IS THE TYPE OF KNIGHT HE WILL BE!” Mother...said those words...To defend me...
No! They were the word of advice she left me, the advice that I had to have no fear in my eyes...No matter who the opponent is. How can I forget such an important advice? ”I am an idiot...” I whisper.
”I am sorry about how I reacted to that...But you know what, we still have 15 people on our team, so I hope you all are ready to fight.” I say to everyone. ”Yeah!” ”Betcha!” ”Everyone is ready!” No mother...I do not fear anyone but the type of knight I want to be now is...The type of knight who can lead this team of misfits under the guidance of a greater knight.
”ILORA! I HOPE YOUR READY! YOUR FRIENDLY RIVAL IS FIGHTING IN THE NEXT MATCH!” I say to Ilora. ”I am...I hope your ready to switch someone out for me once I am done dealing with her.” Ilora says to me as she begins to walk into the arena. ”Another thing...Thank you Ilora...” I say to Ilora stopping her. Ilora looks away. ”Whatever.” She says. A small smile on her face. ”NOW GO GET HER!” I say to Ilora and she begins to move into the arena.
