Journey Of A Legend

Chapter 53: Fake User

Hearing that there was a guy with a power similar to his, Greg was a bit surprised.

"What is his name?"

"Steve Rainer"

Greg after hearing the name nodded and made sure to remember this name.

Time went by and the three talked about a lot of things, but after 2 hours Emma and Mila stood up and said, "We are sorry, but we need to go."

Greg nodded and stood up also while smiling.

"Sure, no problem at all. It was a pleasure to see you two again."

Mila and Emma smiled and walked toward the door. After the two walked away, Greg closed the door, but the smile from before could nowhere to be seen at that moment.

"Alice, who is that Guardian? Isn't it a common thing that there shouldn't be two identical Guardians?", asked Greg as he sat back onto his bed.

"I don't know. Maybe some kind of trick, but honestly, I don't have a clue too.

Greg after hearing Alice's reply made him smile while saying, "Then tomorrow we will figure it out."

The next day in the Arena, Greg was sitting silently, while Joe, Emma, and Mila looked at him from time to time.

"No matter how many times I see it, but Greg, you're like a different person.", said Mila, making Joe and Emma nod in agreement.

Greg looked at them and just smiled, but didn't say a word.

What Mila said was true. He felt that not only did his appearance changed, but his personality too. It was like the Greg from before and the one in the present was two wholly different people.

As he was thinking about this, Chris finally walked in with a smile on his face.

"Hello everyone. I hope all of you are okay and doing well. However, before we start the PGF, I need to announce an important matter. It's about the Soul Tournament. As I said, only the first four get the honor to participate in the tournament, but a few days ago, the Federation made a new important rule, because of the tournament's 100th anniversary."

Hearing this made everyone a bit surprised and a lot of people started to murmur between each other.

Seeing this Chris just smiled and continued talking.

"It's about the rule, which states that only the first four can participate. It was changed and instead of the first four-place, Academy's students and even strangers from all around the world have the chance to participate freely in the tournament as a team. Of course, the members of the team should be at least Soul Collecter fighters to participate. So those, who want to, please come and find me today or tomorrow after the PGF."

Listening to this, Greg started to think and looked at the three on his side and a while later asked, "Then why don't we go as a team? We wanted to participate as a team in the beginning anyway, no? With this opportunity, we luckily don't need to fight for the first four placement."

Joe and Mila heard this and nodded in agreement, but Emma on the side was a bit hesitant.

Seeing her like this, Mila looked at her and asked confusedly, "What's the matter?"

Emma looked at the others and after a while, she said shyly, "But I'm only good at healing. It will be very hard for you guys without a fourth member who can fight. If I go with you, I will be just a burden."

"That's not true. Even if you only have healing abilities, that's a very important aspect for a team. And also there are your Soul Creatures, which help, fighting won't be difficult at all.", said Greg with a serious expression.

Hearing what he said made Emma surprised, but after seeing Joe's and Mila's nod, she blushed a bit and smiled.

Greg and the others seeing this just smiled and turned their gazes back toward Chris on the platform and waited for him to start the PGF.

Chris talked a bit more, but a while later he clapped and said with a smile, "Okay then, let's start the PGF. Who wants to start?"

Hearing the question, Greg put his hand up without hesitation. This surprised everyone in the Arena because this was the very first time that he wanted to challenge someone this aggressively.

"I want to challenge Steve Rainer."

Hearing the name, a guy with a normal build-up and an average height stood up not far away from him and looked at Greg without any expression.

"I will gladly accept your challenge."

Chris looked at the two and even though the two looked calm, somehow he felt that the air between the two was incredibly tense.

"I don't think they know each other, so why do I feel this way? Huh? Did Greg grew in height and look much more muscular or is it just my imagination?"

It wasn't him the only one who noticed the changes in Greg, but a lot of people too.

As everyone looked at Greg in surprise, the two have already walked up onto the platform and stood in their respected position, waiting for his signal.

As Greg looked at Steve before him, he started to talk quietly to Alice.

"Should I use your powers or just my physical powers?"

Hearing his question, Alice instantly answered, "Let's wait for him to attack first."

Greg hearing Alice's answer nodded and waited for Chris to start the fight.

"Ready? FIGHT!"

In an instant, as Chris's voice sounded, Steve disappeared from his place and appeared in the next second before Greg ready to touch his chest.

Greg saw this happening used Alice's speed boost ability to dodge to the side.

However just as his feet touched the ground, a huge earth pillar broke out from the ground, ready to hit him.

Seeing this, made him use the earth element to manipulate the incoming attack, but suddenly Alice's voice sounded in his ear.

"Just punch it."

Hearing this, Greg hit the huge pillar before him without hesitation.

As his fist got into contact with the earth pillar, it turned into dust in an instant.

Mila seeing this was shocked and asked, "Did he use his earth element to manipulate Steve's attack?"

Joe on the side looked serious and a while later, when seeing as Greg punched another earth pillar into dust, shook his head.

"No, he didn't. He used only his bare fist to fight Steve."Hearing this, both Emma and Mila were shocked and looked at the fight on the platform.

Watching as Greg punched those solid earth blocks like nothing, made everyone think that he used his own power to manipulate the earth's structure, but only those with good eyesight knew that wasn't the case at all.

Steve was one of them. After seeing that his earth element was useless, he was a bit surprised, but only for a moment. In the next second, he stopped and raised his hand.

In an instant, a huge vortex appeared above his head, while ice crystals started to form in it slowly.

Greg seeing this was a bit surprised and asked Alice, "What is happening? He can use two elements at once?"

"Now I'm 100% that his ability isn't about controlling the six elements. He is just an imitator."

"Imitater?", asked Greg as he watched that more and more ice formed above Steve's head.

"Yes. I don't know how he does that, but if I have to guess then he can imitate anyone who he touched before. But as I can see, he can only use about 50% of the power he imitates."

Hearing this, Greg nodded and said calmly, "If it's just 50%, then it's nothing."

As he said that, he used Alice's darkness powers and disappeared into his shadow, making everyone around looking confused.
