“The first participants are Roth Freeman from team black and Mule Reagan from team blue!! The aforementioned participants should step into the arena!!!”historical

“YAY!!!!!!”

Suddenly, at the mention of these names, the crowd’s faces beam with exhilaration and excitement. For some reason, I also get excited to watch Roth’s match.

Bumping his fist upward in excitement, Roth gets up from his seat and begins to walk towards the arena. The other guy from team blue also starts to walk forward, while his teammates cheer him up with the expression of full-blown confidence on their faces.

Our teams are named according to the color of our dojo outfit. My team is called team black because mine and Roth’s outfit are black in color, and coupled with our black sash which we don’t really use.

When both opponents get to the front of the arena, the enclosed transparent bubble barrier shield opens up, allowing the two participants to enter.

After they enter, the barrier closes up again. Looking at the sheer thickness of this barrier, it looks like it was created by one of the dojo masters.

While Roth might have awakened his blood power, I am still quite worried about him, because he is about to go against Mule Reagan, a dragonkin who has an enormous amount of strength. Mule is no doubt one of the strongest disciples here, as he can tremendously increase his prowess anytime he transforms himself into a dragon. Though his dragon form is still in the early phase, he’s not to be underestimated. And lastly, Mule is an outrageous bully. Dragons are also prideful creatures that refuse to absorb ability crystals. They solely rely on their natural elemental affinity; fire, and their explosive strength.

Raising my head and looking at where my master is seated, his face is as expressionless as ever, while the other dojo masters beside him have wide, evil grins on their faces._.

“Before the match begins, there are a few rules that you must follow. The rules are well known amongst us, but in today’s duel, there has been a new rule. Rule one, if your opponent surrenders, you have to stop attacking. Breaking this rule will get you disqualified instantly. Rule two, you must not attack your opponent in the.. ahem..in the... Groin, *cough*. Doing that will get you disqualified because that’s a shameful way of winning a fair fight.

Rule three, you are not allowed to kill your opponent. Although the dojo masters will step in the moment a student is fatally injured. However, since such a person made a killing attempt on his fellow student, he/she will be severely punished.

And lastly, rule four... Beast gears are not allowed. If you have any beast gears with you, please take them off.” The spectator announces.

What the fuck?! Beast gears are not allowed? What if we haven’t awakened any power, we would have been tossed away like thrash without even having the chance to fight back.

“This is not fair! Beast gears were made for combat!”

“This is totally wrong! Those guys without a restraint on their ability will bully us!”

The other disciples from other groups start complaining and cursing under their breaths. Although there are fighting techniques that can be used, banning the use of beast gears was just so uncalled for.

However, this decision was made by the dojo masters. If we were still as weak as before, I bet that my master wouldn’t have agreed to this rule.

“Let the match begin!!!!” The spectator declares openly without minding the groans of the student.

Suddenly, silence ensues, and the whole auditorium becomes as silent as a graveyard.

Back in the arena, Mule and Roth can be seen circling each other, waiting for the moment to strike.

“Just surrender, I don’t want to bully you today,” Mule says with a grin on his face.

Currently, he’s in his humanoid form. He looks very human apart from the long greenhorns on his head, slightly elongated ears, and his overly large scaled tail.

“Well, it’s the other way around. I’ll advise you to surrender or else, I’ll squash you like a bug!” Roth replies without any sign of fear on his face, he’s brimming with full confidence, which surprised Mule a little.

“Don’t blame me then!” Mule bellows and in the next moment, his body begins to transform.

After his transformation is complete, Mule is now a full-blown, young green dragon, who is about 4 meters tall with two heads that he can control simultaneously, and two large wings sprouting from his back.

*ROAR!!!!*

Hearing this deafening roar, Roth remains unfazed as he starts to run forward, while opening his palms and throwing a large arc of red aura at Mule.

Blood strike..

Seeing the red aura flying towards him, Mule has a confused expression on his face, because he has never seen Roth use this type of power in the past. Mule, however, doesn’t evade the aura, instead he raises his right clawed hand to take the attack head-on.

“WOOOSH!!*

“Aargh–!!!! What the heck did you use, fucker!! The shit cut through my scale!!!” Mule cries out loudly as he takes the full brunt of the attack head-on.

The red aura can be seen burning through Mule’s scales and green blood can also be seen pouring out of his hand. Although Mule’s scales aren’t strong yet, since dragon scales get stronger the more they age. Mule, however, didn’t expect a puny red line to injure him.

Learning the hard way, Mule heals himself and raises his head only to see that Roth has already gotten to his front.

Roth, after gathering a lot of energy in his legs, leaps into the air, going higher than the height of the Dragon. Seeing this scene reminded me of the picture I saw earlier. Making me wonder if the drawing was some sort of fighting technique.

Still leaping higher, Roth begins to descend very fast with both his fist cupped together and raised in the air, while looking like some type of god.

Unable to dodge it because it is already too late, Roth’s cupped fists slam into one of Mule’s heads.

*BANG!*

A very loud sound explodes as Roth slams his fist into one of Mule’s heads. Although immediately the clash occurred, dust rose from the ground, blocking the view of all the onlookers. After the dust settles, Roth can be seen standing a few meters away from the dragon without any scratch on him.

Mule, however, had one of his heads broken and twisted in an odd angle, while green blood leaked out of his head and tries to heal at the same time.

“S-Since when did Roth get this strong?”

“Unbelievable~!”

The auditorium erupts into an uproar as everyone expresses their confusion and disbelief.

After looking at the feat that Roth performed, I start to doubt if I can defeat him if we were to fight against each other, because he hasn’t even used his blood power, he only used a blood attack. Moreover, the situation was unexpected for Mule.

*ROARRRRR!!!!!!!*

Enraged, Mule heals himself and stands up, then stomps his large legs on the ground, causing the whole auditorium to tremble under the massive strength of this young dragon.

Then, something begins to happen to Mule. His chest region begins to glow yellow and intense heat starts to radiate from his body, while he begins to gather a huge ball of fire in his mouth.
