Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Should we start this tournament already?" Zack inquired, his gaze fixed on them.

"Are you guys afraid?" Casian inquired as they approached Alix and the others, and Adora gave him a stern look.

"Why would we be scared of you?" Alix asked in a cold tone and Adora glanced at him as he unintentionally stood before her and she smiled.

"Are you really not afraid of us?" Ayden's opponent inquired.

"There's no reason for us to be," Ayden replied, and the guy smiled.

"I am looking forward to a good match, Ayden," his opponent said, smiling.

"The same here," Ayden responded.

"Well, there you have it, now you get to choose who goes first this time," Zack said with a smile.

"I will go first," Ayden's opponent said, and Ayden set his bag down before drinking the bottle of juice he had brought and looked at the others.

"Best of luck," they said.

"Thank you," he replied, then they went into the VIP section to sit, and the fighters began entering the ring, which piqued the audience's interest in seeing how it will play out.

"May the best fighter win," said his opponent gently, and Ayden smiled.

"May the best fighter win," he replied, closing his eyes.

'I know this guy is stronger than me, but with how Adora has trained us, I do have a chance, if I lose, I won't be able to face her and the others even though they said you don't have to win, I have to prove myself too,' he thought as the bell rang and the fight began.

'He can use wind as well,' Ayden thought as the guy hit him away without touching him and he smiled.

"His opponent is not arrogant, he is a humble fighter who only wants a fair fight with a worthy opponent, and I believe he got it," Alix said.

"Well, let's see what Ayden does about him using wind to keep him from attacking, Ayden needs to get closer," Adora replied with a smile.

'She says she is going to show us her face win or lose, I want to see her face too, I am going to give her more reasons not to hide from her team, we all need to give her more reason,' Ayden thought as he moved at lightning speed blocking his opponent and hitting him directly into the stomach, sending him crashing into the side of the ring and coughing up blood but he stood up smiling then wiped the blood off of his lips.

"Let's see how fast you can fight against both wind and lightning, I am glad you are fighting me, normally people don't get to hit me," the guy said, and Ayden nervously smiled.

'I am not sure if he is thrilled or pissed that I got to hit him,' Ayden wondered after finishing the first round of the fight with only two rounds to go, raising the question of whether he could actually use speed to win.

While looking at Ayden, wind began to form in the palm of the guy's hand, which was surrounded by lightning bolts, forming a wind and lighting barrier around his body, and Kyllan gasped.

"That could rip one of Ayden's arms off if he tries to break through it with his arm," Kyllan said, concerned.

"Why is there an overpowered player in this tournament? Well it doesn't really matter, though he has the ability to wipe out an entire ring of people if he so desires and if their abilities are not stronger than his, but because Ayden is a lightning user, he cannot easily get rid of him " Alix said catching the princess's full attention ss the wind slashed Ayden across his stomach.

"Ayden will lose this round, what matters is the last round, the finals are based on rounds," Adora said as wind and lightning collided, sending Ayden flying out of the ring and injuring multiple parts of his body and at the same time, the bell rang giving his opponent the win.

"This fight will last longer than we think, it's already been more than an hour," Kyris said as Ayden struggled to his feet and looked up at his teammates, who smiled.

"I know it doesn't matter, but do you think he can beat that guy's monstrous barrier?" Sarah inquired, and Adora turned to face Casian, who was smirking.

"He can win the last round if he thinks clearly," Adora said. "His lightning is more powerful than before, its force field can cut through that guy's barrier surrounding him like a chain, there is only one thing he needs to do to keep himself from getting injured."

"And what would that be?" Sarah inquired.

"He needs to use his speed to avoid being hit until he can figure out what to do to, buy himself more time," Alix responded.

"He is right, if Ayden keeps getting hit, it might do permanent damage to his body that even I might not be able to fix it, permanent damage that might keep him from fighting ever again, that guy might be gentle but his fighting techniques are deadly, which makes me wonder what else the others are capable of doing, especially Casian," Adora said as Alix glanced at her while Ayden returned to the ring and took a deep breath while looking at his opponent.

'I need to get past him, but how do I do that?' For the time being, I will concentrate on not getting hit or getting too close to him, gentle but frightening, what an amazing combination, this bloody universe is just against me too,' Ayden thought as the bell rang, signaling the start of the third and final round.

'I am not going to get caught by you, I am better than this, I know it,' Ayden thought as he kept avoiding his opponent's attack and not getting close to him due to the barrier surrounding his body, knowing that the only thing he could do was give himself some time to figure out or even create a move that could destroy him in one blow.
