Kieran's Point Of View
Ok, I have rested and got ready to fight, I fear I wont be able to win with ease against this fighter however I am not holding back this time. I stand up and walk over to the arena. the old referee starts counting down but I stopped listening to him, I still have know Idea why he is even here, I asked Michael and he is level 1? meh, maybe it was to choose someone with out any bias as a judge for the fighting? oh well, the Elf in front of me jumps back and starts shooting a wall of arrows. and they slowly stop moving. I walk forward and around the arrows which stopped moving and appeared right behind the elf. I used something called Burst Mode, it is my trump card however it drains me a lot. I have to beat at least one Anti Mage, I am trying to look strong, looking around I see only a few people here and there who can keep up with me speed, the referee can also keep up with my speed which is surprising, maybe he has a few tricks up his sleeve?
The elf looks around for me however I don't give her the chance, I kick her and send her flying, my leg brakes at the same time as she shot an arrow through herself and it is now embedded in my internal organs, it hurts a lot as it is an Anti Mana arrow however I push onwards. I use Burst and get behind her before she lands and punch her flying, this time she did not shoot an arrow through herself, the dropped something... damn it... "Ring Out" the referee said as I was now standing at the nearest tree. which coincidentally is a few miles away thanks to the magic testing that happened on the battle ground. I walk back and see that Michael already started fighting, however he is only able to dodge as his speed is not fast enough to deal with the Arrows and they would deal serious damage. after some time he is hit and by three arrows at once, he is sent flying and dies, he re spawns however outside the ring. the elf is also done, she has lost to much blood from the moves required to stop me. and now it is Isaac's turn he gets up and he is up against the bane of his existence, a sensory type, a close combat type as well, he held a battle axe and finished the fight with one hit, Isaac does not have high defence and a battle axe deals a lot of damage. Now it is Kate's turn.
Kate's Point Of View

I get up to the arena and am faced with a sensory type who uses a Battle axe, he is strong and does not look like he will fall with ease, however he is still an elf, and elves are not good with heat. "3...2...1...go" The referee said and sure enough the fighter charged at me with his battle axe, I then step back while slowly activating a temperature magic, his battle axe was getting hotter and hotter. all I had to do was dodge, and I was faster then he was as I had ice on my feat. I danced around him as his hands started to loose grip of the Battle Axe. he eventually dropped it and his hands had 2nd and 3rd degree burns on them. he was not holding that axe any time soon, I just swiftly moved behind him and then knocked him out with a powered up kick to the back of the head. that was easy however costly to my Mana, however I felt my ?ana coming back even as I just stood around not doing anything. is this what is is like to be a gamer?
the next opponent came up, he was holding a lot of magical items, this would be difficult. "3...2....1....go" The referee said and then both of us charged at the other, I then created multiple Fire Illusions and then jumped back and dashed behind him, he used a Mana shield and charged through all my fire Illusions of me, I wan now right behind him and sent 5 Ice Spikes through him, and when I say through him I mean they passed right through him like he was not there and causing no damage. realising that this was just an Illusion of his own I jumped to the side while turning around to see him swinging a sword at where I was only a moment before. I then shot some Ice Spikes at the real thing. he fell back in pain however he just pulled out another Item and threw it at me, using Ice Shoes I move out of the way of an explosion that would have knocked me out or killed me. I would not know which however I did not care, I was now in front of him while projecting a wall of fire, burning him while ending him flying, he got up and activated another Magical Item but it was to late. I had already done what I needed to, I melted his Magical items just enough so they would not work. with that now done I kicked him in the back of the head knocking him out.
I now wait for their second last fighter. he gets up and has no weapons and no items. he is looks like a hand to hand combat specialist. "3...2....1....go" The referee said and we both charged at each other. he did not use magic and just started fighting with raw strength. I went in with a punch with fire on it and he avoided like it was nothing, he then powered up with an Aura that had no Mana in it, it was only made up of his Fighting Spirit. he was a martial artist. I had to get away but to late, he landed a punch right in my solar plexus and then kicked me in the gut to send me flying. but he was running right next to me at the rate I was flying away at. he was hitting my every step of the way and it was agony. he then grabbed my ankle and threw me down onto the ground and put me in a choke hold. foolish mistake, I release an explosion of fire sending him flying, he was burnt however landed on his feet and dashed at me like it was nothing and placed his palm on my back, after that a wave of power surged through my Mana apart, then I fell to the ground unable to move. I then drifted off unconscious. martial artists are scary.

John's Point Of View
That looked like my Dragon Palm. interesting, he may be a good fight. I walk over and puck up Kate, moving her over to the waiting area, I then walk back into the arena to fight a true warrior. "3...2....1....go" the referee said and he charged at me, I did not move and simply turned off my eyes of a barrier, he fell to the ground in agony, however he got up and kept fighting, he was loosing a lot of health per second and his moments had slowed down. when he reached me I turned on eyes of a barrier and then used Blink Step to get behind him, I then used Dragon Claw on him which sent him flying, I noticed the Dust Academy look at me almost as scared as they did from Kieran, so they did just get a bunch of dragons. I continue fighting and trade a few blows with the Martial Artist Reon. he then kicked me away as he made some distance, it mattered now as I Blink Stepped behind him and used Divine Dragon Claw which took off 580 HP, he landed on the ground with 3 HP left. however he just got up and kept attacking, he pushed so hard just to try and win. I had enough, I placed my palm on his chest and used Dragon Palm, a huge explosion came out the other side of him as he collapsed on the ground unable to move. It was my win.
The Big Tree Academy had one last fighter. and I was shocked.
[Archer Of 1000 Arrows]
[Level 127,046]
[Willow Int]
She was another archer, and a strong one at that. she stood up and drew her bow. I knew that this would be an easy fight. "3...2...1...go" said the referee and Willow shot countless arrows at me, I activated Dragon Wings and without moving anything other then my wings I blocked every arrow. I walked towards her and she shot at me from all directions, when I reached her I grabbed her bow and snapped it. oh how useful Burst Mode is. she fell backwards and landed on the ground in shock, she was defeated without even pulling out a fraction of her opponents strength. I simply use Blink Step and teleport her near the exit then I push her out. her strength stat was weak so she could not resist. I won that fight with ease. I got back and Kate was looking at me with curiosity about my new wings, Michael looked a little amazed. oh well, it is all in a days work for the awesomeness of my power.
there was then a fight between The Academy Of The Deep and Dust Academy, sure enough Dust Academy won by walking through all attacks with the resistance of a dragon and wining. there was no challenge, they just won. I am looking forward to this fight.
"Michael, Kate, Isaac. We need to talk about your course of action in the next fight" I said and they looked at me confused, "The Dust Academy used dragons, their first fighter is a Divine Dragon in human form. so as soon as the fight start I want you three to just give up without even trying, you will not do anything against it, walk out of the Arena and let me handle it" I said simply and they looked at me shocked, Isaac just looked at them and what they did and nodded, Michael looked at them and then nodded, most likely able to see the fact they are dragons. Kate just nodded in acknowledgement.
Now we have a plan of action, I am going to be able to test my Dragon Slayer skills more easily,

Arms wrapped around his belly. "What are you thinking about?" she asked while sniffing his back. "Would you believe me if I said that I was thinking about you?" he turned around and feasted his eyes upon her pretty face. "I wouldn't" she shook her head and grinned. "Why?""Because I've fallen for your sweet words many times before and I will not fall into your trap again" He whispered to her ears, "What if I say that I'll give you the world?""Cliché" she smirked"What if I say, that I'll give my life for you?""Too tragic" she laughed"What if I say that" he rubbed his nose against hers "I will love you with all my heart"She smiled "Then I'll have no choice but to fall for your sweet words again"*****************Hello readers.

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate. Thanks for reading! [Background for the cover art is courtesy GG-graphics via Pixabay.]
