Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Are you nervous, Alix?" she asked as he lifted his hand up, pulling a strand of hair out of her face, she stared at him, then held onto his hand and he jumped when he felt how cold her hand was, and she immediately released him.

"I am not nervous," he said.

"Thank you," she said and he scoffed.

"You don't have to thank me, but you are welcome," he said with a forced smile, and Adora clenched her fists.

"They will be ready in fifteen minutes, Adora, they are fixing the broken parts of the ring," Zack said.

"OK, well, he has fifteen minutes free," Adora said as she walked away from Alix feeling a bit uneasy.

"Adora, I had a bit of a change of mind," Alix said as he walked up to her.

"You don't want me to open the seal; you want to use the power you already have to win the match like everyone else; if you can use them now, you can control them once they are fully awakened, is that what you want, Alix?" She inquired as he fixed his gaze on her.

"Open it only slightly if I can't win without it," he replied, to which she sighed and looked up.

"Your thinking is quite different; someone with the amount of power you have would undoubtedly use it, but I understand; I will carefully watch your match, then criticize you later, and I will be harsh if I have to so deal with it," she said and he smirked.

"I am fine with that," he replied, and she smiled before patting his shoulder and sitting down as they wait for Sarah and the match to begin.

"Do you believe Alix will win?" Is he strong enough, or even capable of defeating Casian?" Isabella inquired, and Olivia smiled as she looked at Adora and Alix.

"Adora chose her members wisely, and with the rate Alix has grown, I wouldn't say it's impossible," Eliza responded.

"I agree, this team is completely different from the others," Olivia said, and Eliza nodded in agreement.

"They need to win, that's the only way to assure themselves that they are worthy and capable, which we all think they are, but this is their first ever so difficult match, if they lose, they won't be the same, this will prove their hard work is paying off and they aren't wasting Adora's time, I believe they are all worth it, they are one of the strongest new teams who got here through hard work," Cameron said with a smile, and Olivia agreed then Isabella smiled upon understanding their points.

'Damn it, I am getting sleepy, it's already 6 pm, I am amazed at how much time people waste on these things, though with technology, most people work with their phones,' Adora thought as she leaned back against the glass and Alix looked at her.

"Are you all right?" he inquired.

"I am fine," she replied, "I just want this tournament to be over and done with." Nina smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

"You don't usually like spending your time like this all day, Adora, you can do it, hang in there," Nina said.

"I am hanging on," she said, stretching.

"I hope my fight knocks away your boredom just like the others did," Alix said and she smiled while sitting up properly.

"We will see, remember you are having things your way, be careful and avoid being hit on the chest, though nothing bad will happen to you," she said.

"Don't worry, I know; I just want to try it the normal way and see how far I can go in my present state," he explained.

"I hate that I understand your point of view, seriously," she replied and he grinned.

"I am glad you understand," he said, fists clenched.

'What the hell is he thinking?' she thought as she looked at him.

"Adora, are you sure you want this guy to fight me?" Casian asked, a smirk on his face, and Alix flung up in anger, but Adora grabbed his hand and he looked at her as she stood up.

"Don't call me like you know me," she said.

"Are you worried about losing Casian?" Adora inquired as she approached him.

"Great, he got her on her nerves, this is not going to end well for Casian whether he wins or loses," Kyris mumbled.

"I don't know about you guys, but I wish she was triggered enough to kill this guy right now," Alix joked, and they chuckled.

"Why would I be scared of losing?" he asked.

"Well, you should ask yourself that because that's how you look right now, you should not underestimate others, you should know that," she responded to which he smirked.

"Believe me, I do, and I am warning you, he will not come out the way he came in, which means he will regret fighting me, and he will lose," Casian said.

"We will see at the end of the third round, being overconfident can come back to bite you, be careful," Alix replied.

"Yeah, you are right, we will see you destroyed and Adora's hope crushed to see you win, you won't, sorry sweetheart, I am not trying to be rude to you in any way, I am just speaking the facts,' "Casian stated.

"Don't worry, I understand; whether you win or lose, it really doesn't matter to any of us, does it?" She inquired.

"No, it doesn't any longer, we are all accomplishing more than we bargained for when we first entered this tournament," Sarah said as she walked up to them with the nurse, and they looked at her before Ayden went to help her and the nurse left.

"We will see sweetheart," Casian said then left and Alix gnashed his teeth.

"How are you doing?" Adora inquired.

"I'm fine, we should go to the VIP section, I could use some food too," Sarah smiled as their names were called for the final fight to begin, and Alix took a deep breath.

"Good luck Alix, we will be watching," they said and he smiled.

"Thank you guys," he replied, then left to the ring and they all went to the VIP section, including Sarah.
