Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 12: Start Of The Fights

[ Dia Family's Mansion]

Joe was standing in the middle of a huge room while looking at a man in front of him.

The man was sitting on a huge sofa, while his elbows were on top of a very luxurious table and his fingers were crossed before his mouth.

After a few minutes of silence, the man looked up at Joe and asked with sharp eyes, "Are you sure that what you told me is 100% true?"

Joe hearing the question bowed and said calmly, "Yes. What I just told you, father is the 100% truth. I would never lie about something like this."

Hearing this, the man leaned back into the sofa and with a small hesitation said, "Okay, I believe you. From now on, you will watch Greg's progress. If he is really as you said, he should be a great asset for our family. As for you... There will be someone protecting you, so you can rest with ease."

"Yes, father! And thank you."

After Joe bowed, he turned around and left the room. As the door closed, the man stood up and walked in front of the window and watched the outside scenery.

"Shadow."

After the call, a man appeared from nowhere kneeling on the floor, with his head looking down.

"From now on, you follow Joseph and protect him. And also, when he is with his friend, keep an eye on him. I want everything to report about him."

"Yes, master!"

With that, the shadow disappeared leaving the man alone.

As time went by, the man started to smile and said quietly, "It seems Joseph befriended with an interesting fellow."

After the accident, which happened with Joe and Greg, days flew by one after the other and the point gathering fights started.

While in normal schools, there are classrooms for exams or classes. In a Soul Academy, however, these things are important only before you get your Guardian.

After that, those things have no more role in the future. It's because as the PGF known as the point gathering fights starts, they will take place in a big arena every day.

Here, every student from the same year will have the chance to fight to get points, but there are two rules.

First rule. One person needs to fight one student every day. If no, there will be a -1 point for it as a punishment.

Second rule. For the win, one needs to knock the other out of the arena or make the enemy surrender. Death is strongly prohibited and if somehow someone dies, the other party will be severely punished and will be sacked from the Academy.

Of course, teachers will be there to interfere if something goes wrong, so death never happened so far luckily.

Greg was standing inside a huge arena looking around with awe.

The arena was made out of a strange black material. The building was almost a hundred meters high and almost as wide as two football fields.

In the middle, there was a huge circle floating above the ground about 5 meters and it was almost a hundred meters in diameter.

"Hey there! First time seeing The Arena?"

Greg heard the voice and looked to the side and saw Joe's figure.

He smiled and nodded while saying, "Well yeah. First time."

Joe laughed and pointed toward two seats before them and said, "Let's take a seat. The teacher will start the talk soon."

After the two sat down, a huge shadow appeared above Greg. Feeling the dj vu, Greg sighed and asked as he turned around, "What do you want now William?"

Hearing his name and the question, William was surprised than angry, because of Greg's calm tone.

"Hey, white rat. It seems you are a bit too relaxed. Do you want me to refresh your memory of who you are talking to?"

Greg looked up at William and thought, "Strange. Seeing him now, he kinda seems... Amusing to me?"

After he thought about this, Greg started to chuckle and stood up.

Joe was surprised about this act, but William got mad in an instant and raised his hand.

However, before he could do anything, Greg stopped laughing and looked at William with an ice-cold gaze.

In an instant, it felt like the temperature around the two dropped a few degrees. As this happened, William's body stiffened and sweat drops appeared on his head.

The feeling that Greg now gave out from his look and posture was like, if he made anything stupid he will be beaten into pulp in an instant.

Joe looked at Greg's behavior and he thought, "He sure changed."

After a while, Greg's cold gaze disappeared, and started to walk away, while saying, "Please let's go and sit somewhere else Joe."

"Sure."

With that, the two walked away and sat down somewhere else, while William looked at Greg as he just saw a ghost.

But after a while, he came back to his senses and gritted his teeth, and murmured angrily, "Just wait you piece of trash. I will beat you up so much that not even your ancestor will recognize you."

As time went by, the teacher appeared on the circular platform and after clearing his throat, he started to speak.

"Hello everyone, my name is Christopher, but please call me just Chris. I will be your teacher for the following PGF. Well, you know the rules, so I don't really want to waste any more time, so let's start.", with that said he pointed above.

In an instant, a hologram appeared with names under each other.

"As you can see, your names are above. Here will appear your score and how many matches you have fought so far. As you may know, you have to fight once each day, but how it's up to you. You can challenge someone or if you want, you can choose the random way where the machine will choose a random student for you. However, there is one more thing for you to know. If someone challenges you, you can only surrender once without the challenger getting 3 points. So think before you do so."

After Chris finished talking, he looked around and asked, "So? Is there anyone who wants to challenge anyone?"

Hearing this, William thought angrily, "Now you are dead Greg Hyde. I will make you so miserable that you will wish you could die."

However just before he could raise his hand, another guy was faster than him and raised his.

Chris saw the owner's hand and asked, "Okay Brian, tell me who do you want to fight against?"

The guy stood up, revealing his appearance. He was a normal looking guy with a somewhat muscular body, brown eyes, and hair. He heard Chris's question and with a smile, he pointed toward a direction.

Seeing where he pointed, everyone in the arena was surprised.

"I want to fight against Greg Hyde!"
