My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After checking his system, he and Peter were both discharged after a day. They all went back to their room all hale and hearty. Even Classes got back to normal everyone attended their classes regularly. They were informed that the tournament was to be held in two weeks time and they should prepare very well. Even their teachers were all training them hard.

With Sunny taking it up a notch in his teachings. All the roommates were all taking this tournament seriously as they were training as if their lives depended on it. After their practise for the day, they all met up in their dorm resting.

"Wow! Today's training was intense." Vynn exclaimed.

"Yeah, I'm pretty worn out now." Peter replied.

"Even during club activities, sunny didn't take it easy on me one bit." Jake said. "Before, he usually train me with a light hearted expression but now with the tournament closing in on us, he has taken it more seriously."

"You guys should stop whining and be happy that we got teachers that want us to have even the slightest chance at winning." Sophia said.

"Yeah, stop being ungrateful guys." Kate said.

"Speaking of the tournament," Jack said. "I heard a lot of important dignitaries will be there and even some people sent my the Big three to scout important talents."

"Well that's a good thing right?" Vynn asked. "Being scouted by the Big three will improve our skills better."

"Well it would have been a good thing if it wasn't for the fact that they won't even pay attention to us rather they will be focused on the third years who they think are strong and talented." Cindy said.

"Then it's settled." Jake said. "We will make sure we put up a show for them and show them that we aren't weak either. Let's get to the top 10 together." Jake said with his palm facing upwards.

And then slowly, everybody put their palms onto Jake's palm and said together. "Let's get to the top 10 together and show the world that we aren't weak."

Then they all lifted their hands up in cheers and smiles.

"Oh, lest I forget." Jake said while taking a box from underneath his bed then he handed Peter the axes he had obtained from one of the men that attacked them in the forest. He had taken it out of his system earlier so he won't arose suspicion about how the axes suddenly appeared in his hands from thin air.

"Here, I want you to have it. It is pretty useless in my hands." Jake said.

Peter collected the axes and gave them a swing he could tell how powerful they were just by swinging them.

"They are advanced tier axes." Jake said having used his inspect skill on it earlier.

"And you want me to have it? You would have sold it for a lot of money even if you don't know how to use them but you gave them to me why?" Peter asked.

"We are family so it's the least I could do for family. Besides I know if I'm need of something, you would also do the same for me." Jake smiled.

"But what about you? What are you going to use?" Vynn asked.

Then Jake pulled out a black sword with lightning patterns on it. "I'm gonna use this advanced tier sword Kilberg left for me."

They all were in awe looking at the weapon. "Well it wasn't only you guys that got an upgrade, I also obtained an advanced tier spear from one of the men also." Vynn said bringing the spear out.

"Well, the rest of us better get something soon before the tournament." Sophia said.

"Yeah, I will check the blacksmith shop by tomorrow to see if he have anything to my liking." Jack said. "And if he doesn't, I will just have to visit town."

They all nodded while Peter, Jake and Vynn put away their weapons and started coming up with strategies on how to go about the tournament but without information about it, their strategies were loose.

While they were discussing, a thought crossed Jake's mind. 'What if I offer my friends the contract and make them apart of my Guild? Will it be wise of me?' Jake thought then he quickly shook his head.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'No, not yet. Sophia still has her allegiance to her family so does Jack. But Peter, I think I will recruit him but after the tournament.'

That was when Jake heard his name being called. "Jake!" Jack shouted louder.

"Yes, why are you screaming my name?" Jake asked.

"Where were you lost? I called your name close to three times no response." Jack said.

"No, I was just reflecting on something. So what's the matter?"

"We were discussing about the fight that happened in the forest and were curious about two things." Jack said.

"Which are?" Jake asked with a raised brow. Discover more stories at empire

"Firstly, why did the Guild members wanted to kill you guys?" Sophia asked.

"They didn't want to kill us, it was me they were after. Peter just happened to get caught in the cross fire. I'm sorry bro." Jake apologized.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Peter smiled.

"So am guessing that they were after your head because of what happened in town that you told us about." Kate said to which Jake nodded his head confirming her theory.

"Okay that explains it, but what we all want to know most, is how you were able to go toe to toe with Kilberg and the skills and moves you used when fighting, were not taught to us in the academy and neither have we seen it before so what was that?" Cindy asked.

Jake's heart was beating fast trying to come up with an answer to quell their curiosity. 'I can't tell them about the system, they will think I have gone crazy.'

"It's the hand to hand combat club I attended." Jake blurted out. "You see, Sunny made me learn complex footworks and skills to help me process the hand to hand moves better just in case a situation like the one that happened in the forest occurred."

Jake lied confidently because he knew that they won't know anything about the hand to hand club nor what was taught there so he chose this lie hoping it will quell their curiosity and questions.

"Okay, I buy it." Kate said. "I really must say though, those skills or moves were really good. I would have loved to learn them if I wasn't occupied with so many training currently."

Jake smiled at the comment and everybody talked some more about different things, different strategies for different situations during the tournament. And after three hours of talking and planning, they finally decided to go to bed while Cindy returned to her room.

Finally after the long wait and long boring two weeks, it was finally time for the Aurora Academy tournament…
