After announcing the name of the participants of tomorrow's first match, Chris continued by announcing the name of the other participants.
''The second match will be between Ferris Wolfang and Leon Lionheart, third match: Artemia Eretria Von Havens Vs Maria Alexa Rosares, and lastly Damien Constantine Crux Vs Gracier Alexandra Touch.''
Leon grinned flashing you are doomed smile at Ferris, the latter grinned.
Maria and Gracier couldn't help but sigh as none of their enemies is weak.
''Don't worry, just do your best. If it doesn't work you will at least learn from this failure.'' Alex petted Gracier's head.
''Well said.'' Artemia who overheard Alex's words said.
''Maybe we will face each other in the next match,'' Alex said.
''I don't think so. Like I said it, it will in the final.'' Artemia said while smiling, she seemed sure of her words.
Alex couldn't only shrug his shoulders not saying anything.
Leonardo was pissed when he heard Alex's words.
''Did you think you can beat me just be you are two levels ahead of me? What a joke. I'll show you your place tomorrow.'' Leonardo said.
Alex didn't even spare him a glance before departing with his sister and others.
''You talk too much.'' Damien chided Leonardo before leaving.
''I will trample everyone of you under my feet.'' Leonardo spat out before leaving, he didn't wait for Camilla and others.
••••
The next morning. Alex and others have already arrived ready to start the quarter-finals.
After exchanging greetings with Leon and others, Alex said.
''It seems that today you will be able to watch me fight, unlike yesterday where the matches took place simultaneously.''
''Yeah! I'll see what kind of Gift you have and how you fight.'' Leon said.
''Fufufu! Alex go beat that lecher for Onee-san'' Sakuya who was sitting beside Eris and Kuina raised her fist in the air and shouted.
Alex almost shouted 'You and I have the same age.' however, he chose not to say that as she may use it to start teasing him. Sakuya is a bit of a sadist after all.
Shaking his head Alex went on the arena, facing him in the opposite direction was Leonardo clad in golden armor.
Alex was also wearing Loki, instead of wearing it like armor, he used Loki's special ability to shapeshift into anything to transform it into a black long coat (black shirt) and black pant style.
''Ready to lose?" Leonardo provoked Alex the moment he saw him.
''I may lose facing a strong opponent but not when facing you. You're strong but not strong enough to beat me.'' Alex returned Leonardo's provocation with a smile.
'Tch... Ever the prim bastard, always full of himself, I see. Whatever. Today is my stage to shine. I'll beat him and show them all how pathetic he is.'
Leonardo's sneered viciously, his will to fight intensifying. Today, he must win, or else Alex would be forever ahead of him. He's like his heart demon, he must win to overcome his heart demon. Camilla said.
Ignoring Leonardo, Alex checked his status, he had trained until late in the night, so, he didn't check how much he had gained.

'20 points huh?! Not bad. I need to train harder, Leon and Artemia won't be easy opponent.' Alex thought.
''Ready? Start!" Chris announced.
Bang!
Alex appeared in front of Leonardo and threw a punch straight toward his head. It was so sudden that most people wouldn't be able to react against it, however, Leonardo titled his head sideway dodging Alex's punch.
Even though he dodged he was inwardly surprised at how fast Alex was. He quickly jumped back to avoid Alex's kick.
Bang! Bang!!!
Before he could stabilize himself bullets were fired at him, pissed Leonardo shouted.
''Ahhaa!"
He swung his sword down, cutting all the bullets. His figure disappeared to reappear behind Alex before his sword could strike Alex's back, it was pushed back by a bullet fired by Alex. He didn't even look back before shooting.
The two moved at fast speed exchanging moves,
Bang! Bang! Clangs !!!!
Boom!
Alex rolled back dodging a fireball thrown at him.
Boom! Boom!
Another two fireballs were thrown at him. Alex's figure vanished to reappear behind Leonardo with his Silveria armed at him.
Leonardo spun around and blocked the gun with his sword, he was planning to use his finger's skill: Extinction Ray, however before he could, Alex created another gun and shot him in the stomach.
''Guh!" Leonardo was blasted back, his face twisted in pain. He rolled on the ground a couple of times with a blank look on his face.
'If he remembers correctly, Alex possesses two guns, one black while the other is silver. So from where does, he get that second silver gun from?' Leonardo thought before roaring, golden lightning appeared around his body.
Like a bolt of lightning his figure disappeared, he was able to dodge Alex's bullets. His eyes turned more golden, pointing his sword at Alex, he shouted.
[Fire bolt]
Fire and lightning mixed were shot at Alex at extremely fast speed, because it was two destructive elements combined their might could not be underestimated.
Not only that, this attack seemed to possess some kind of special power that lock its target in place.
Outside, most people thought that Alex wouldn't be able to deal with this attack.
However, Alex never showed signs of panic facing such a destructive attack, aiming the real Silveria at the incoming firebolt, he said.
[Ice Bullet]
Swooosh! Kaboom!
Ice Bullet clashed against Leonardo's Firebolt creating a big explosion that swept the whole arena.
Meanwhile, in the audience.
''What? I thought it is said that he can't use magic?" Sakuya asked surprised, she was not the only one, though. Luna, Leon, Maria, and others were surprised.
They turned their heads in Gracier's direction wanting some answers, unfortunately, she was clueless as them.
''Don't look at me like that because I don't know anything,'' Gracier said.
''As thought, he still has them,'' Lilith murmured. This didn't go unnoticed by Artemia, so she asked.
''From your words. He used them yesterday?"
Lilith nodded her head. Artemia stayed silent for a moment before she speculated.
''If himself can't use magic, maybe with his Gift he can. If this is true then I wonder how many elements he can use apart from the Ice element?''
Lilith stayed silent as she didn't have the answer to that question.
Damien's expression changed when he saw Alex shooting the Ice bullet. 'This man is too unusual. What is that Gift? Never heard of it.
Such a Gift is not recorded in our archives. Alexander not being able to not use magic can be ruled out. To win against him I must not give him the time to attack. Close range combat will be his weakness.'
Damien started preparing countermeasures against Alex in his head unaware that hadn't displayed his real cards yet. The real fight was about to begin.
