I walked into the arena with all the stuff that I bought at the market and looked around to see if my na was up there on the upcoming matches and fair enough, there was my na against…
Postini Krel… the noble guy who challenged out of nowhere.
Looking at entering the arena, a few familiar faces ca into my view. There was Pleo, who was already there, and then there was Zuriel, Dion along with Nyx too.
'Looks like Zuriel inford Nyx,' I thought as I saw them standing and conversing with each other. Thyle was also there, looking much better than when I first t him. Well, I have been healing him every day till now; even though I had healed his disease within the first week, I thought it would be better to regularly keep checking up on his health and help him gain back his health.
'I heard that he was training sowhere as exercise. To think it would be this place,' I thought before my eyes reached another man who was sitting there silently drinking on his own.
'Favian Black, the leader of the resistance army or sothing. From what Zuriel told , he is planning to attack Asul sooner or later… However, nobody knows when that will be. Well, I don't want to believe it… but this scenario reminds of sothing similar that happened in the previous tiline,' I thought as I sighed a little before moving towards them.
Well, actually in the previous tiline, the enemy we thought to be the leader always said that he would attack us, but never really did. At first we believed that he was just a coward or just bluffing, but honestly it was just that he wasn't the actual leader, and because of the actual leader he never attacked us… Kinda trippy if you ask …
"You really showed up, huh? You have guts, that's for sure," I heard an annoying yet familiar voice coming from the back and saw the sa noble guy standing there with a smug face. He saw the shopping bags in my hands filled with tals and foods, and ended up chuckling with a mocking expression on his face.
This ti he wasn't alone but there were two similarly built n standing behind him, who looked like they were trying to curry favour of the noble guy. I could only smile on the inside at the situation in front of as I spoke.
"I do not have many options, do I?"
He observed my face with the sa mocking expression. Now I want to punch him so badly, and chuckled again before speaking,"Let's see how long you can maintain that smug look of yours. I hope you don't chicken out at the last mont."
I saw him then walking away from there and decided I should 'make an example' out of him this ti. While I don't want attention, I would rather not have any more people foolishly trying to disturb because they think they can.
"ZERO!!! CO HERE!!!" I heard Zuriel shouting from far away and began walking towards her. When I reached there, Dion and the others wished luck while Nyx just kept looking at with a narrowed gaze before asking,"what is it that you are trying to do here?"
Favian didn't seem interested in , but still he was listening to our conversation anyway… more like he had nothing else to do.
'Isn't he the leader? Why not get busy doing so leader work?' I thought as I answered Nyx,"I just want to step up a bit."
Nyx, for the next monts, looked at with a concentrated gaze and then making an understanding expression she finally replied,"okay. Just don't end up killing that noble guy, he is still important to us."
Hearing Nyx's words, Favian turned to , scanning carefully again before looking at Nyx, wondering whether what he heard was real. Feeling Favian's gaze, Nyx turned to him and said,"well… I guess you will understand in a few monts anyway, so why not just watch the match?"
Favian looks at with his dark eyes and I smile at him, but even after analysing for a few monts, he still found nothing, so he was really confused. Well, my artifact that hides my real energy is really helpful, to be honest. After I ca here, I also kept on exercising and training hard whenever I could. Though there wasn't any enormous boost, my power did rise quite a bit from what I had when I entered this world.
I then talked a bit more with everyone as I passed the ti asking how everyone was doing. Before I knew it, the ti for the battle finally arrived, and I moved towards the centre of the arena.
Under the gazes of thousands of people, I entered the arena where the noble guy was waiting with a smug expression. I looked at him as I entered the arena and noticed all the people cheering for that guy while Nyx and the others were sitting near the VIP seats.
He looked at for a few monts and then glanced at the VIP seats as if he was trying to prove himself? Looks like there is more to the challenge that I thought.
I too turned towards the VIP area and observing carefully I found a guy looking similar to the noble guy and finally I understood a few things about this stupid situation.
'Sothing along the lines of, soone in his family probably thrashed the poor guy saying that I was at least useful despite not having money or power compared to him and that brought us here to him challenging in front of everyone,' I sighed at this really really stupid situation.
"I guess wealth can't bring you intellect," I muttered as I rolled my eyes in annoyance before moving towards him one step at a ti.
"It is about ti I put you in your place," that guy spoke as he looked at in all seriousness. I wanted to say a few words, but then I decided to not waste ti and just start the fight already.
'Since he uses water magic, I could use Light magic to heat things up,' I thought as I took out a few white coloured small tennis ball shaped artefacts from my space storage.
He observed those balls before moving towards to create water balls in the air. The waiting ti began ticking as soon as we both reached a certain distance from each other and I looked at it, counting down…

-Boom!!
I heard a loud voice as he attacked , throwing those water balls at at an insane speed… However, all of them missed as I stood there carefreely with both my arms in my pockets. Looking at what just happened, the crowd turned silent for a few monts. The noble guy looked at and then at his hands before creating and throwing another dozen water balls at .
-BOOM!!!
-BOOM!!!
-BOOM!!!
This ti they were more fierce than before as I observed the water balls almost reaching , missing and then hitting the wall behind . I sighed at his naivety as I began walking towards him slowly and slowly as he kept using his water attacks at .
What happened was, I used light magic, both my own and also the artefacts, to create a mirage that would look exactly like . Simultaneously I hid myself using the sa magic but I cannot go over 2 tres away from where my mirage was created or the artefact's presence would give away my location.
I also used so air magic to make the air denser, changing the direction of those water balls away from . In the end, what you get is the phenonal result of walking through the attacks without getting scratched at all.
I could see the tension rising on the face of that guy and not long after, he raised both his hands towards before shouting out loud. The weather slowly began changing, and I looked above to see clouds surrounding everything before a heavy downpour began.
-Swish
I saw him vanishing from there without leaving a trace and I then stopped moving as I observed my surroundings. All this raining… kind of… were surfacing so terrible mories…
"Let's just… get it over with," I thought as I sensed his attack coming from the right.
'It's a mirage,' I thought as I let his attack hit . Despite being a water mirage, it still hurt a little… which I healed within seconds. Not even a mont later, another attack ca from the left… this too was a mirage… I let him be this ti too…
All the experience I had fighting in the previous tiline… My body knows when a real attack will co…
"If you want to confuse …. Try using at least a dozen mirages simultaneously… things like this won't even tickle ," I spoke before I saw a direct attack coming from the front.
'This one is real,' I thought as I swiftly dodged his attack and then touched his shoulders with my hand as I applied so Life magic on it that would partially increase the power of his right hand muscles at uneven places.
Then I saw him jumping away from as he tried to raise his hands before-
"AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I saw him screaming like a madman. His weaker muscles and bones might have been crushed by the powered up muscles. The Life magic power was temporary, just one ti use, so it too has vanished, leaving a broken arm behind.
I just saw him screaming and crying like a baby as he tried to heal his hands, but it was badly crushed, so it would take so ti to heal fully.
-BAAM!!!
I saw soone landing in the arena from the spectators. It was the brother of the noble guy…
'Looks like it is going to escalate from here,'' I thought as I saw his face, which didn't look pleased at all.
