My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

It was finally the next day, Jake woke up early as usual to complete his daily quest and probably warm up a bit. After completing his daily quest, Jake went back to his dorm to freshen up and in an hour, everyone was ready for the day and tournament.

Then they decided to head to the arena together again after having their breakfast. They walked for a few minutes in silence because they were all contemplating how they will take their opponents down today. Although Jake wasn't showing his worries on the outside, deep inside he was worried.

'I wonder if I'm strong enough to take down Harry.' Jake thought. 'I remember him besting me when I was in my first year. If it wasn't for Jack, I would have been terribly injured. But a lot has changed, I'm now a different Jake from before. I think… no, I know I can hold my ground.'

Just then, they finally arrived at the arena. The students going through the next round, were told to go to two separate waiting rooms before the event started. One contained all the second year students, the other one contained all the third year students.

When entering the room and seeing the others, Jake and his friends went to sit somewhere patiently while some were warming up before their next fight for the day. Before they headed out, everyone checked their equipment because for this event, they were allowed to use their real weapons.

After a few minutes of waiting, it was finally time for the next round of the tournament. The ten second-year students walked into the arena while the ten third-year students walked in from the other side. As the two teams entered, there were gigantic cheers from the crowd but one name was being chanted after a while.

"Underdog! Underdog!"

"Jake the underdog!"

The cheers were getting louder and louder.

"Wow! Look at who got himself some fans." Peter commented but Jake didn't pay him any attention because he was more focused on his fight.

"Will everyone please look at the display in the middle of the arena?" Paul said and everyone looked at the holographic display that was randomising between all the contestants' images.

After a few seconds of shuffling, it finally stopped.

"And it looks like the first Battle of this evening will be between the number ones of the second and third year students. Jack Dem vs Alexander Slade!"

Jack and Alex approached the centre of the arena while the rest of the students watched with eager anticipation from the outside.

The rules for this round were different compared to the previous round. Contestants were allowed to use real equipment for this fight. There were no longer any bracelets on the contestants.

Instead, two Generals were on standby, Paul and Wilfred. If a contestant was about to take a fatal blow, Paul and Wilfred will do everything in their power to stop the hit. Therefore declaring the other person the winner.

If it was obvious that one person was stronger than the other, at any time the Generals had the power to stop the contestants and declare the other person the winner. If a contestant was knocked out or forfeited, this too will also count as a win.

With the rules explained, it was finally time for the fight between Alex and Jack. Alex just calmly unbuttoned his shirt to reveal hard rock abs like as if it was carved from stone then he pulled out his giant sword and looked at Jack with a bored expression.

"It's not you I really want to fight." Alex said while looking towards Jake's direction.

"Is it me or is that guy looking right at Jake?" Vynn asked.

"Yeah I think so too." Kate replied. "But why will he say he wants to fight with Jake?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Who knows." Jake shrugged.

"Anyway," Alex continued. "I just hope you don't bore me."

Alex then took a stance so did Jack as he gripped his sword tightly while looking at Alex intently.

The centre of the arena was slightly elevated compared to the rest of the arena this time. And currently, Jack and Alex were on the elevated arena.

"And the first match of the day will start in 3…2…1…"

The warhorn played signalling the start of the first round.

Jack just stood there in a stance wanting to observe Alex more but Alex was just planning to end the fight as soon as possible unless Jack was a decent enough opponent for him.

Alex didn't waste any time in dashing towards Jack with full speed then he swung his sword fast and hard towards Jack's neck but he quickly used Triple Threat technique to get behind Alex then he swung his sword again which was coated in Qi towards Alex's back.

But when the sword struck, it felt like Jack was hitting steel for Alex's body didn't have a cut on it. Not even a scratch on it.

This stunned Jack and everyone watching. "What! Is his body made up of metal or what?" Vynn shouted.

"I think he just has a large amount of Qi." Sophia commented.

"Well if it's true, then that means we shouldn't take any of our matches lightly." Kate said.

"I wasn't planning to." Jake said still not taking his eyes from the match.

Seeing as his sword didn't penetrate Alex's body, he quickly moved back to create space and it was just in time for Alex's sword was now heading for the spot he was standing in not too long ago.

When the sword crashed into the ground, it caused a lot of dust to be raised and blown everywhere. Using this opportunity, Jack quickly dashed forward into the dust so Alex won't be able to see him but when he got there, he was now struck In the chest by a powerful blow from Alex that sent him flying.

Walking calmly out of the now settling dust, was Alex with a frown on his face. "You are so weak and not even worth my time."

'If only you know who I am, you won't even think of talking to me like that.' Jack thought with a smirk on his face as he was getting up.

Dashing towards Jack, Alex swung his sword towards his head but Jack quickly rolled over avoiding the hit then he quickly stood up and moved his Qi to his legs to give him a speed boost.

Then he dashed towards Jack with full speed and quickly switched his Qi from his feet to his hands to give him a strength boost. And then he swung his sword that was coated in Qi so fast that Alex was stunned and unable to avoid it.

The strike hit Alex in his chest and what everyone saw including the third years was shocking including Alex. Ever since Alex learnt about Qi, he was always so talented that he could switch between all the stages and coat himself with it in less than a second and no one will know.

He had so much Qi and his body was able to handle it without exploding. So ever since then, Alex didn't need to get an armour for his body was capable enough to shield him from any attack. Even the third years couldn't even cause an injury on Alex's body and that was why he was currently the strongest in the whole academy.

But now, they were seeing a second year causing a white mark on his body which even the third years couldn't do. Although to Jack, this was not impressive in the least.

'All the speed and strength all for what, just to cause a white mark on his body? Are you kidding me? What type of body does this guy have?' Jack thought annoyed.

"Well you are quite strong but I'm sorry, I need to end this now." Alex said as he quickly gave Jack a quick kick in his stomach that sent him flying and crashing down. The kick was strong enough to not even let Jack stand up because he was still feeling the pain of the kick and he was coughing violently.

Until some soldiers came over and took Jack away to the clinic then Paul took Alex's hand and raised it up as if they were in a wrestling ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner for the first match!" And immediately, the crowd cheered loudly.

But this loss, was not so surprising because they had expected it after seeing the strong body Alex had or the strong Qi he had. This situation made some of them worried. How were they going to be able to defeat the third years if all of them are monsters like this.

But they didn't know that Alex was one of his kind and the second years definitely knew now that he truly deserved his position as the academy's strongest. But this was not going to stop Jake for he was going to take down Harry no matter the cost.
