《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 45 - 1 VS Many

Eron's Point Of View
I have been called up to the ring to fight Origami, this time I wont fail like I did in the library. I get on the stage and look right at him, I still think he is familiar however I cant put my finger on it, he reminds me of Master. must be because he has Paper powers like Master does. "Origami, I wont loose to you twice" I said before taking a fighting stance, he just smiled at me, why is he smiling like that? it is not a mocking smile, it is a proud smile? I wonder why?
"3......2......1......go" the referee said before taking a few steps back, he looked funny, oh well, I dashed over to Origami making sure to avoid the Trap Runes placed in front of me. I then reached him and engulfed my fist in fire before punching him, he looked shocked before he smiled and exploded. I looked around wondering if that was it. there he was, behind me. there were two of him, both started attacking me with Paper Swords. I avoided the swords swung at me as they attacked me at the same time fully in sync and not letting up, I brought out my dragon wings and blocked both swords, however a paper bullet hit me and passed straight through my wing, it did not hurt but I could feel the damage it caused,
"Eron, you cant win, where I face 1 strong opponent...." Origami said as he raised his hand summoning countless pieces of paper from the air and they started forming countless clones of Origami, "you face many" he said before all the clones brought out Paper Swords and charged at me, I blocked as many as I could however they kept cutting at me, I flew into the air and looked back down at them, their Paper swords were now just balls of paper in their hands, a barrage of Paper Bullets was sent at men and I avoided some and burnt the rest with fire.

"I will admit you are have some strength Origami However you are wrong, I only need to face the original you" I said while I finally finished tracking down the original Origami with my Dragon Senses. I then charged at him and he smiled,
"No, you need to catch the original" Origami said as he dashed across the ground forming a Path of Paper behind him, the Paper then formed Paper Wolfe's. I burnt them with fire however looking at Origami he was going to be hard to catch, he was jumping all over the arena and appearing and vanishing out of nowhere with a crowd of clones surrounding him. "what is the matter? cant you catch me? Over here?" his clones started talking while charging at me, he is just mocking me now. you asked for it.
"you will regret taking me lightly" I said as I turned into a dragon, I fit inside the ring which was lucky, I then turned to the Origami beneath me, I burnt all of them to ash, looking around I cant see the original anymore.
"I take you lightly because you are to weak to make me fight all out" Origami said from on top of my head, he then jumped down and created 1 clone behind him,
"now you are taking me lightly" I said as I prepared to destroy the clone, however it was not a clone, it was John? I stopped breathing at the last moment and a storm of paper flowed around me, when did he? he placed trap rune paper around me while I was distracted, damn it,
"no, I am not, you love this one to much to hurt him" Origami Said as he made a Paper Spear and shoved it through John's chest, John then smiled and exploded into paper. "however he was not the real one, you should have known that yet you still stopped long enough for me to make Rune Paper around you stopping you from being able to escape. you lost because you couldn't act, if you had shot fire at me right then and there I would have avoided but you would not be trapped. next time we meet try and be stronger, both physically and mentally. or maybe I may go and find John while he is out hunting dragons and make it so he will never be able to respawn again?" Origami said with a smile.

"Don't You TOUCH HIM!!!" I shouted as I clawed against the barrier keeping me trapped. I started burning with so much fire I felt I would melt, however my body started to shrink, I ended up being around the size of a horse. looking around I realise, I am now strong enough to escape, I run to the barrier and breath a beam of plasma creating a hole to escape from, I then charge at Origami who only smiled.
"Paper Weight" origami said causing me to weigh next to nothing, I then accidentally launched myself very far into the distance and crashed into the wall, it didn't hurt, I just brushed up against it before I fell to the ground slowly. I noticed Origami smiling at me before walking back over to his waiting area. criminals waiting area's have 2 guards at them to stop them from making trouble, not that the guards can do anything to his kind of power. they are to weak, however they can call upon their headmaster's power of the Void.
"that concludes the first matches of the tournament. and one of the second matches since we had some Criminals who thought they were being funny. moving on to the first and last semi final round. Origami and Clark Teta. please stand up and enter the ring." The referee said from behind me as I walked over to Kate's waiting area and looked down, I lost again to something so simple. I got so much stronger yet I was unable to win because I fell right into his trap. Kate looked at me worried, then after some time placed her hand on my shoulder.
"its ok, You did your best, I am sure John would be proud of you" Kate said reassuringly, I looked up at her with a smile.
"Really?" I asked and Kate smiled back at me.
"we have known him for some time, he is not the type of person to ignore the fact you got a lot stronger, it is just your opponent was just that but stronger. but he is up against Clark Teta and not ever Kieran could beat him. Origami will be beaten and then made to pay for his crimes." Kate said with a smile as she looked to the stage however she then looked shocked.
"Ring Out" The Referee said looking at the arena that was practically destroyed and the dust cloud blocking everyone's vision, what happened in the 2 minuets I was not paying attention to the ring and listening to Kate?

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
