Chapter 8: Next Level

"Now, to commence the second round. The matches are; Warro VS Park, Nara VS Une".

Warro and Park were standing next to each other, Warro smiled, "Good luck man". He held out his hand, Park shook it, his black fingerless glove shining from sweat. "Yeah, you too".

Nara and Une were looking at each other. Nara stepped forward and bowed, "Let us have an honorable fight". Une smiled, "We'll see who wins". With that, the gong sounded and the matches began.

Warro and Park both swung their weapons, they clashed in mid air with a loud clanging noise. They continued to swing at each other, each clang drove them onwards, giving them the energy to keep fighting. Park swept his spear towards Warro's feet, but Warro jumped out of the way and kicked Park's chest armor. Park fell to the ground, he gave a short cry of pain, but stood up and held his spear outwards.

Une's method of staying as far from Nara as possible was working well. Une was quicker and didn't take as long to aim as Tury did. It was taking lots of effort for Nara to block all of the crossbow bolts. Nara had a plan though, she was making sure that Une wouldn't be left with any bolts. As Une tried to reload, she realised she didn't have any left in the clip. As she tried to reach for another clip, Nara took her chance and ran towards Une.

Une wasn't ready for a counterattack. As Nara was preparing to slice through the crossbow string, the swipe missed it's target as Une shifted out of the way at the last moment.

A yell of the crowd made everyone look towards Une. Une's crossbow quiver fell to the ground as the rope was cut by Nara's dagger. Nara held the dagger towards Une's throat. "I must apologise, but it appears that I am the winner". Une smiled, "Yes, you did well to beat me". A gong sound was heard, "Oh no! It appears that Une lost! That leaves Warro and Park".

The outsider looked up, "That gong, does that mean it's supper-time already?". His friend shook his head and put his hand on his mask, embarassed by him.
