Unlike before, although not morphing into an animal like almost everyone else, Amon had lightning synced around him, almost in perfect tune, and it boosted his speed in such a way that he ran almost three times faster than before.
"I knew it, hahaha!" Instead of feeling discouraged, Eduardo laughed out loud.
Amon didn't look, but he could feel Eduardo's presence. The distance from each other wasn't very far, but he was still a little faster.
Too bad he was already within sight of the chairs on top of the mountain, or else Amon wished he could continue his dispute with Edward.
As soon as he arrived, Amon sat in the first chair.
Eduardo sat down a few seconds later in the second chair.
Eduardo smiled at Amon with a little sweat, "Ahh, it's a shame, I wish I could have won..."
Amon looked at him, before saying, "You can still challenge me."
"Haha, true." Eduardo laughed, "Okay, that will be the first thing I'll do when I get the chance."
Not long after, Ariel arrived and took the third chair, followed by Barbara taking the fourth, and Vicky Sarfati took the fifth chair, Julia the sixth, and Maisa the seventh. Almost 1 minute later, Carlos da Veiga Sicupira took the eighth seat, Ana Lúcia de Mattos Baretto Villela took the ninth, and Marcelo Herrmann Telles the tenth.
Meanwhile, the other participants were arriving, but it was too late to get a seat, so they had to get 2 challengers' chips from a man who was waiting at the top of the mountain.
"Now it's very simple." The man said, "You can challenge someone and win their chip, but if you lose, you lose one chip, and if you lose all your chips, you will be disqualified. To challenge whoever is sitting on the chairs, you must have at least five challengers' chips. Oh yes, each one of them can decline challenges twice, but after that, they no longer have the right to refuse. Another thing, if you are struggling, you have time to rest for 10 minutes before accepting the next challenge."
Luiza Helena Trajano Inácio Rodrigues, a dark-eyed blonde at almost 180 cm, asked, "Since I got eleventh, can I challenge another participant first?"
"Yes." The man replied.
"Okay." Luiza smiled. She regretted not being a little faster, but at least she could challenge first so she'll have the upper hand.
Almost half an hour later, all the participants arrived.
Maicon and Elijah were among those who arrived last.
'How could I be so inferior to Amon? Even that brat Maisa managed to beat me, that's not right!!!' He trained a lot, did his best, ate a lot of meat, even got genetic serum. How was that still not enough?
Heavens! This does not make sense!
Maicon was in the same situation, he looked at Ariel, who was now sitting in the third-place chair, and the shock was like a hard blow. He thinks that even a kick from a horse would be softer than the blow he felt now...
'I don't have a chance with her anymore?' Maicon didn't want to give up, 'She's mine! She needs to be mine, only mine!'
Maicon's eyes were a little malevolent.
Ariel, who felt Maicon's gaze, smiled at him... But, her smile was full of sarcasm and ridicule. She found his look funny, she felt like laughing, he who always exaggerated himself in front of her before because he was stronger than her, now needed to look up to see her...
'Amon is the best!' She chuckled in her mind. After all, training with Amon was always good because not only did it bring pleasant moments, but she realized many ways to use her powers, and additionaly her genes.
Julia, on the other hand, totally ignored Elijah's gaze. Right now, he was no different from a stranger who lusted after her. Before Amon showed up, she didn't think Elijah was so bad, although she didn't want to be with him, at least it wasn't to the point of being disgusted with him, but after everything that had happened... The contempt she felt for him had grown, and reached such a high level that she wanted to ignore his existence.
"Sister, he's looking at you like he wants to eat you alive~" Maisa joked as she spoke softly to Julia.
"Amon?" Julia pretended not to understand who she was talking about, even glanced at Amon.
"Of course not, I'm talking about Elijah." Maisa joined in the joke, saying it even louder.
"Oh, him... I had even forgotten he exists, well I can't do much, he's just a frog at the bottom of a well if he dreams of being with me. I don't even want to look at him, let alone allow him touch me, just thinking about it makes me nauseous." Julia crossed her arms, holding on tight. She pretended to shiver as if she were thinking about a frightening possibility.
"Damn it!!" Elijah wasn't entirely foolish, he understood that they were doing this to provoke him, but it worked.
He mostly looked at Maisa angrily. He even dared to say, "I'm going to challenge you! Dare to say that again!?"
He was aiming to earn enough chips to challenge Maisa.
"Oh, good luck~" Maisa didn't feel any threat coming from him. She had been training with Amon all this time and often fought against him. Although she didn't have a chance against Amon, she had confidence in her improvements and didn't feel there was a chance of losing to someone like Elijah.
Amon also said earlier that Elijah used a forbidden spell when fighting him, diminishing his potential, so even though Elijah thinks he's progressed, it wasn't much, as it was even harder for him to strengthen himself compared to before.
"Bitch…" Being underestimated even by someone like Maisa, Elijah seethed with rage.
Meanwhile, the other participants find this interesting, even hilarious.
From the beginning, they kept an eye on the participants, and at every stage so far, Elijah was among the last while Maisa was among the first. The fact that Elijah thought he was better than her was so ridiculous it was funny.
"Bitch... It's funny to hear that coming from someone who is supported by his stepmother and doesn't do anything to deserve it. Do you know what that kind of person is called? Yeah a bitch, the worst kind, one who doesn't try hard at all. Yeah, you were stronger than me before, but it was a circumstance where I didn't have the same resources as you, and I still don't, but look, you were still overtaken by me, little bitch~" Maisa sneered coldly.
She hated Elijah, who always thought of her as inferior, especially after that look full of ridicule when he looked at her breasts. 'Fuck that son of a cuckold. If he dares defy me, I'll cripple him!'
This time it was Julia's turn to laugh. She knew Maisa had always had a complex with her small breasts, and even though she got better when she met Amon, she still felt resentful towards Elijah. Now that she had a chance to get revenge, Julia kind of knew what her sister was thinking.
Luiza Helena Trajano Inácio Rodrigues said in a loud voice suddenly, "I want to challenge him!"
She was pointing at Elijah.
Taken aback for a second, Elijah felt slighted. He squeezed his hands tightly into fists.
"I accept." He said bluntly.
At the top of the mountain, there was an arena just behind where Amon and the rest were sitting.
At this point, even the mayor had already arrived.
The 'guests' too. They were in some kind of spaceship with an open roof.
"Enter the arena." This time the referee was not the mayor but a tall woman with red hair. Her eyes were lazy, as was her voice.
Elijah, who was already seething with rage, like a rabid bull, leaped up onto the arena. He looked at the calm Luiza entering the arena.
"Don't think that just because you're a woman, I won't end you. Give it up now while I'm generous!" Elijah said loud enough for everyone to hear. He felt the need for everyone to listen and know he wasn't easily bullied.
On the other hand, Luiza, who was on the opposite side, laughed a little and threw her hair back, then her smile became predatory, she said, "I'm ready, you can start."
"Ha, don't say I didn't warn you." Elijah sneered, and soon, he was surrounded by flames.
