Infinity

Chapter 17: Competition (5)

"With the withdrawal of Suzuki, Dane, Handsome Shane, and Saito. Brother J.C. would still fight against powerful opponents. Some students of Kingdom of Creatures Academy made it into the finale. Elizabeth, The Swordswoman of Bayugan. Jerome, The Swordsman of Opol."

"There's Prince Austine too, and even four alumni of other schools."

Even though J.C. just ignored her, she happily volunteered to follow us.

"It will be hard for you, brother J.C. since you didn't have your original sword."

"By the way... Who says I'm your brother?" J.C. finally complained. The cat girl placed her hand at the back of her head, let out her tongue, and winked.

'And how could she seriously believe it so easily that J.C. is Dark Knight?' In Suzuki's mind while watching her.

[[I have now the update of the battle.]]

[[Tomorrow, we will encounter the battle between...

Prince Austine VS Christian

Donabel VS Elizabeth

Britt VS Humphrey

Jerome VS J.C.]]

The excitement of people could be heard inside the waiting area.

***

[[The Winner is Prince Austine!!]]

'The h*ll, that fast?'

Prince Austine walked pass by them like nothing happened on the first day of the competition.

'Idiot!' Suzuki murmured.

It was already the 3rd day of the competition. As the heat began to wrapped the entire body of the watcher, the excitement portrayed at their entire face to know whose going to win.

[[The Winner is Elizabeth, The Swordswoman of Bayugan.]]

"Clearly, you cannot win against Kingdom of Creatures Academy."

Elizabeth turned her back while sheathing her sword. Donabel's entire body was now in tattered and she vomited a chunks of blood.

[[The Winner is Britt, The Maknae of Legion!!]]

'They are not so strong at all.' J.C. is seriously watching from afar and anyone who's near him will feel the heavy aura he's emitting.

[[The Winner is J.C!!]]

"Th-that's not possible..!" Elizabeth's eyes widened as she watched their battle.

"Wow, you clearly defeated your enemy for..." Suzuki boringly praised him and watched the clock. "About 5 minutes."

"Wow! You're still this strong even though you didn't have your sword!!" The cat girl wiggles her tail.

'Well, what do you expect to the person living for about 250 years now?' In Suzuki's mind.

'I hope this ugly bastard dies along the way.' Shane murmured.

Shane's eyes widened when he saw J.C. unsheathing his sword. Shane cowardly throw Dane's body towards J.C.

"You bastard...!" And so they fought again. Like cat and dog.

[[Next battle: Prince Austine VS Britt!!]]

Kian walked towards Suzuki's side while carrying a bunch of foods.

"Here." The eyes of Suzuki sparkled as she looked at the food and she gladly accept it.

"Who do you think will win?" Suzuki began chomping the food. Kian noticed something and he pat the head of Suzuki.

"Are you worried?"

'The f...?'

"Who says I'm worried?"

Kian just chuckled. J.C. watched and listened to the two of them and Suzuki seems to notice it. She then turned her head towards J.C. and scowled as if to ask, "what are you looking at?"

"The two of them are strong but I think Prince Austine will win." Kian voiced out his opinion.

***

[[The Winner is Prince Austine!!]]

'Wow, really?'

[[Next battle: J.C. VS Elizabeth!!]]

《"I will avenge you... Don't cry! You're not a kid!" Elizabeth grumbled while comforting Jerome who's sobbing at the corner.》

"I will defeat you, right here and now." Elizabeth pointed her sword towards J.C.

'But still, couldn't deny the fact that he's handsome.' In Elizabeth's mind.

J.C. looked at her in disdain.

[[Let the battle begin!!]]

Their swords collided right after the announcement. The arena is filled with cheers in both sides. You cannot exactly know who will win by the clashes of their swords.

But unexpectedly, Elizabeth is having a hard time matching with his speed. The golden eyes and pure black hair of his, seems to be distracting her.

And by the time she realise, she's already on the ground. She cannot move an inch of her body. What did he exactly do?

[[The Winner is J.C!!!]]

"H-how?!" She struggled to lift her body up but he just ignored her and left.

'250 years, huh?'

'But there's something weird.' Suzuki wondered.

'For all the battles he had, I can point out one similarity.'

"What are you thinking about?" Suzuki flinched when she heard a voice from behind her.

"Why do you always do this?" Suzuki frowned.

"And why do you always flinch when I talk?"

"Hey! That's because you appear out of nowhere!"

Kian just let out a grin while watching the two of them.

"Hey you ugly bastard! Stop stealing my Yuki-ssi!"

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you not to call me yours?" Suzuki punched Shane in his stomach.

"Ough..! Why did I even have to watch this ugly bastard's battle?" Shane murmured while comforting his stomach.

'I'm tired.' J.C. went outside and didn't even bother to let them know. He went into a place where there are no people. He sat at the corner and closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a cold sensation felt in his neck and he quickly opened his eyes and flinched.

"You can only hold out a battle for 5 minutes, am I right?" Suzuki grinned and J.C just coldly looked at her.

"Why are you suddenly being so friendly with me?"

Suzuki's jaw dropped.

"The hell!! Yeah, I'm worried about you so take this!" Suzuki threw the water bottle at J.C and walked away.

'That f****r, should I just kill him?'

J.C. could clearly hear what she's thinking and thought 'She did not even deny it.'

J.C. lips slightly curled up.

'But she's still weak.'

***

[[Let us all welcome!! The two strongest participants who made it into the last finale!! Prince Austine and J.C!!!]]

'Ugh! Why does this people always so excited about every battle? I mean, there were 80 participants and do they even got tired or bored?'

Suzuki couldn't control herself because the crowd was boisterous.

"It's always like this every two years." The cat girl's eyes sparkled.

"Two years?"

"Ahh, you see. This competition only held every after two years."

'Ahh, so that is the reason why.'

[[Let the battle begin!!]]

"By the way, what's your name?"

The cat girl's mouth opened and looks like she's shock.

"Oh my, I still haven't introduced myself yet."

'Oh, you just realized it?'

"Names Junias, pleasure to meet you."

"My r-real name is Mifuyu Yuki Takanashi."

"Saito Takanashi." Kian introduced himself along with a bow.

"You two are siblings?!" Junias asked while pointing to the two of them and they just nodded as their answer.

"I thought you two are in a relationship."

Suzuki couldn't believe what she heard and Kian just awkwardly smile.

"Hey! I'm Yuki-ssi's bo---" Suzuki didn't let him finish his sentence and just kicked him real hard.

"I'm Dane Michael and.... that is Ugly Squid Shane Michael."

"Hey! Don't forget that we are twins!" Shane shouted.

[[Oh! What's this?! J.C seems to be having a hard time?!]]

'What? Is it already passed 5 minutes?' Suzuki and the rest of them quickly shifted their gazes towards the battle field.

'No, it's only been 3 minutes but... eik--the hell, so hot!'

Kian felt the temperature and used his power to cool their surroundings.

'What do we do? Should've we just brought Tora and let him use Time Rewind against Prince Austine? Or should I just...uhm.. sh*t!'

Kian noticed Suzuki's panicking and he sigh. He went beside Suzuki and pat her head.

"J.C. is strong, don't worry too much about him." Kian trying to calm Suzuki.

"Well, ye-yeah. Of course he's strong." She pouted.

It already passed 5 minutes and the curse is already taking an effect on his body. He's slowly, slowly reaching his limit. Couldn't control how painful he felt as he's standing infront of his opponent. After all the training he endured, all of the past battles he encountered, his body now disregarding him. Somehow, as he slowly began to close his eyes, someone shouted from afar, he cannot clearly hear it but he knows who it was.

"Don't you dare lose!! You better get back here with your damn sword!! I mean, what's this?? You can only hold out a battle for 5 minutes?! F**k that!! Just go all out!!" Kian unexpectedly shouted in anger. His sister and friends jaw dropped and eyes widened. J.C quickly tightened the grip of his sword.

'Wtf? I thought you said not to worry about him?' Suzuki while processing what his brother have said.

J.C. unleashes all of his strength to his sword and dashes towards Prince Austine. Prince Austine then casts a shield all over his body made out of blue fire and this time, he unleashes his final blow to J.C.

Who do you think is faster? J.C's sword or Prince Austine's gigantic blue fire ball?

Well, of course. We all know who will win.

[[The winner is J.C!!!]]
