Severus visited Rudra in the parents VIP box, as the first thing he said to the human god was not greetings or business, rather it was a warning.
" God Shakuni, sir I must implore that you maintain the story that you have co here to support the Saint Maximus Clan's talents, which are both Asiva and Ravan.
Please do not reveal you are here for your brother to anyone.
Max strictly wishes to keep his earth and Sigma life separate ".
Rudra nodded, he was not at all against this arrangent, if it were up to him, he would have never even co to the university, according to his personal beliefs family support during a fight only brought humiliation to a fighter.
He had no intentions of publicly chanting Max's na or putting up banners, however he could not say the sa for his wife.
" Honey, please don't use the ' Go Max Go ' posters you made, you heard the guy no? "
Naomi's face flushed in a deep red, she had spent the last 24 hours preparing all sorts of banners and posters to support Max, but it seed like it would all go down the drain now.

( anwhile Max )
It was fight day, and all fighters were given their private dressing room and a healer in the oval arena, as the opponents of the draw were finally revealed.
Max's first opponent was a tier 2 mage called Elyon.
He was a 2nd year senior in the university, a rare breed who did not manage to qualify the first ti around.
Ever since missing the cutoff for the tournant the previous year, he worked hard to enter the top 10,000 this ti around and along with 3 other oldies managed to get past the team rounds.
He was given a 3% chance of winning the tournant overall, which was slightly above average, whereas Max was given a 1.4% probability to win the overall tournant which was slightly below average.
Max had seen Elyon fight sotis in the wild while farming rit points, and he knew that Elyon had two notable attacks that he needed to be wary off.
His first attack was ' Bind '.
It was a tier 1 spell that spawned tree vines to restrain an enemy from the ground to restrict their movent for 3-5 seconds.
It was a spell that he must evade, because Elyon could spam it multiple tis, and the kicker spell that he had was called 'twin headed flathrower' which he used to critically damage the enemy once he was restricted.
This was entirely the reason why Max felt like he would be able to win this fight easily, because the strongest spell of the enemy was the tier two spell called twin headed flathrower and Max was an individual who was immune to fla damage under tier 3 because of the Agni Astra.
Apart from these spells his enemy also had a powerful defensive spell called wind wall, which was the wind version of Max's fla wall, however, it was a good way to mount defence.
Going into the fight, Drax gave Max 3 important pieces of advice.
1)do not get caught up in the vines
2) maintain a close proximity and attempt hand-hand combat
3) never beco complacent and always assu that the enemy has a hidden card left.
While Max only focused on his strengths before the fight and the enemy's weaknesses, Drax did the opposite.
Drax reminded Max that the opponent was a year senior to him and had spent two years inside the university honing his craft.
Not only was he a tier higher than Max, he was already 30 levels into tier 2 at level 130 which ant that Max was most likely going to be outdone by the mage even in Max's strong suits like speed.
Although Max had a decent chance to win the fight, he needed to approach it with a level head and an analytical approach.
As Max prepared his strategy, the tournant officially kicked off and the first fighters took the stage.
The roaring sound of the crowd was almost deafening, and even Max felt a little pumped when he saw the two fighters Duke it out in the arena.
Max's fight was scheduled to be the third one of the day, with the second fight being between Asiva and Keane Kingsman.
While Max was only mildly interested in the first fight, he was sure that the second one was going to be absolutely brutal.

( anwhile Asiva )
Asiva stocked her weapons and drank high grade human blood to bring her Satiety to a 100% before the fight.
She did the ritualistic reflex training of flipping her daggers and catching the tip with her thumb and little finger, as taught to him by her dad before the fight to get her mind in a sharp working condition and his body muscles co-ordinated with the brain.
There were thousands of dia individuals present in the arena audience, as well as so of her own defeated clansn.
The piece of trash clan leader of the Kingsman clan Will Kingsman did not co to support his children, however, Asiva was sure that after this humiliating defeat he would see her face at least once.
She would make sure that he slept tonight knowing that Asiva Paratus was still out for his blood.
This fight was personal for Asiva, she and the Kingsman had butted heads all over the sester and with the Kingsman pulling a fast one over her in the round one of the team fights, Asiva only prayed to the gods to give her one go at them in the individual rounds so that she could get her revenge.
Luckily for her, the gods had granted her wish, and now without a dozen henchn to hide behind, nobody could save Keane Kingsman from her wrath.
As the first fight ended, the officials signalled for Asiva to co up to the oval arena, as she clutched her daggers and walked with pride onto the fighting stage.
