26:Tomahawk Axe

(Slych POV)

I arrived at team stands, once I arrived, my teammates looked at me in surprise, I waved and said. ''Yo.''

Rawal's eyebrow was raised and asked from me.''Why are you here?''

''Because it's my team's turn to fight,'' I said with a smile

Rawal asked in doubt. ''But you didn't need to come, me and Evol would easily win this fight.''

I grinned and said. ''I am gonna fight.'' Rawal's and Evol's eyes widened.

''Why?'' Rawal asked in shock.

''Does it matter? I am fighting in the first match.'' I ordered and looked at our coach, who had black hair, blue eyes and he wore glasses, looking very intelligent, he has been Armya's club advisor and coach for over 10 years now and Armya has gotten 6 championships during his time.

Seeing Slych look at him, Armya's coach also known as Eyrim nodded and said. ''Go ahead.'' I nodded with respect.

I respect Eyrim, not many know about his deeds, but I heard from the principal of my middle school.

Eyrim was fighting for Armya 20 years ago and he was in the line-up since his first year and during his time there - Armya got triple championships in a row - The first time ever in Armya's school history.

I admired that and I also wanted to achieve the same feat.

But that was not enough for me to respect Eyrim, he was also a Martial General fighter, but he decided to retire because he received a leg injury and decided to come back to Armya to be a coach for our team.

Not many can recover from the mental damage of not being able to fight anymore if they have spent their entire lives for it.

That is why I respect him.

Hearing what Eyrim said, Rawal and Evol nodded and sat down on their chairs.

I looked at the arena and saw that referee was gesturing towards us, to send someone to the arena for the first match.

I started walking towards the arena and instantly stadium grew louder and louder.

I only sighed and walked the stairs towards the top of the arena.

*Cheers!*

Cheers resounded around the arena and even the referee looked at me in surprise.

On another side, my opponent came with shaky legs and a pale face, looking at me in fear.

And he was their team captain from Yrim.

If even captain was this fearful, you can only imagine others.

I looked at my opponent and he had blond hair, blue eyes with a slightly attractive face, but it was now very pale and his body was lean, probably focusing more on agility.

I remember him being Low Martial Leader, quite strong in some sense, but he is not even fully focused, so his performance will be quite affected.

Shame, I want to show Ichiro some of my stronger moves.

Maybe I should still show, but my opponent would be in danger of getting injured.

''Match Nr.17! Middle School of Armya Vs. Middle School of Yrim! First Round, Slych Raften Vs. Axel Sundown!''

''Are you both ready?!'' the referee yelled and I gave a gentle nod.

My opponent took a deep breath and also nodded.

''Fight!''

The match started and when I was about to start attacking, I saw Axel take a defensive approach, focusing fully on the defensive with zero attacking intent.
