The Prince And The Knight ( Jerza Fanfiction)

Chapter 03- Tournament of knights (1)

Last time.......
"My name is Erza Scarlet."
"Would you like to be a knight?"
"The tournament starts in one week."
"I look forward to seeing you
there."

One week later..........
"Hello everyone. I welcome you all to the fated tournament. The tournament only held once every year. It is today that we all decide on the next badge of brave knights worthy to serve our King and Prince. Are you ready??"as the crowd cheered loudly at the announcer.
"Now without further ado please welcome all these 40 squires on the battlefield!"and the crowd goes wild as the 40 squires make their way on to the battlefield. But then the crowd starts suspecting the red head lady on the battlefield and saying that she is not worthy of becoming a knight.
"Dude would you look at her." "What's a mere pheasant doing out here?" "You think she's crazy or something?"say the rest of the contenders eyeing Erza.
"My citizens may I have your attention please."says the King and all was a complete silence.
"We are all gathered here to test the skills of these brave squires in various tournaments. But only one will be chosen this time."and all around Domus Flau gasping could be heard.
"Silence! You are in the presence of his majesty!"says a guard gushing all at the arena.
Prince Jellal steps forward and speaks, "No matter what your differences are you'll are all here with a common goal and that is to serve our kingdom. Now the tournament will be held in 04 sub tournaments. And they are:
Strength
Agility
Shooting and
Testing one's strength against one another using the above mentioned skills.
The first three will be held today while the final challenge will be held the day after tomorrow. And in each round 10 contenders will be eliminated. Now the first round shall begin hence forth. If you can defeat these mechanical knights using only a pole you pass. Now let it begin."and with that the tournament commenced.

When it came to Erza's turn, she dropped her pole and charged towards the mechanical knight while the crowd kept saying that she was insane. But she defeated it with ease using only her bare hands and she passed.

"The second round will be agility. You must dodge these moving blades without getting sliced or else prepare for a slice of pain."says Jellal while holding a thumbs up to Erza signalling that she'll do great. Erza is encouraged by this gesture and heads forward towards the swinging blades dodging them all but in this round with Erza 19 could pass.
"The third round will be shooting. You need to shoot the arrow directly at the target and you'll will shoot in runs of three. Now remember that only 10 of you will pass so do your best,"says the King.
When it came to Ezra's turn, she took a piece of cloth blindfolding her eyes and taking three arrows at the same time which brought all the spectatorsbto the edge of their seats including Jellal who was worried that she will not pass. Taking her stance she released the arrows which all three landed on an arrow already on the target and breaking them into two. The crowd stood up and applauded for this and Jellal let out a sigh of relief. As Erza left the arena, the crowd cheered for her so loudly that you could hear it from anywhere in the city.

Next time........
"Now let us begin the fourth and final round."
"You have to fight using swords."
"Are you sure you can handle this all by yourself?"
"Yes I can. Have some trust in me your highness."
"That's Jellal to you Erza."

So what do you think about what's gonna happen? I said that I would update everyday but today I was in a hyper mood so I wrote it. Plus I won't be at home tomorrow probably because we are going to wish good luck to one of my elder cousin sisters as she is sitting for a very important examination on Tuesday the 2nd of August 2016 so I might not be able to write tomorrow.
