Dye turns to see Hayato and asks with doubt " What is a tournament? "Maya smiles and she responds to her " It"s a compet.i.tion between various persons "
Dye makes an excited face clenching her fists with antic.i.p.ation " Oh! like a fight!? "
Maya says with a big smile " Maybe, if it is that kind of tournament "
" Then, let"s go to see " Alyra said with curiosity
Hayato, Dye, Wade, Alyra, and Maya went to the entrance, but it was very crowded despite they formed a line, so they stopped before they arrived near the crowd
" This tournament must be very important to call out the attention of so many people " Hayato said calmly as he was seeing all the crowd
Maya turns to see Hayato with a sweet smile as she points to the line people " It has to be, but look, almost all the line is formed by young men of your age Hayato "
" Maybe they have an age restriction? let"s wait until we can enter the city" Wade said with a grin and he sits in the gra.s.s
" Get out the way! the son of the Duke has arrived! " A man yelled at the other side of the line and the people began to move but, Hayato, Wade, Alyra, Maya, and Dye can"t see them thanks to all the people, so they ignore them
After that, they waited for half an hour and the line began to become smaller and smaller until they can finally enter. At the entrance were four knights, wearing brown armors that only covered their chests, arms, and legs, two are standing with a hand in their swords watching with care at all the people that approach them, the other two knights were sitting behind a table taking notes of the people that are on the line
When they arrive in front of the entrance one of the knights that were taking notes spoke
" Next! " One of the Knights who were taking notes said with arrogance
Hayato walks in front of the table and he asks with a calm voice " Excuse me, can you tell me what kind of tournament is this? "
The knight stops writing and he turns to see Hayato " ….Hmph, kid you came here without knowing? surely you are a peasant with high hopes that think that can partic.i.p.ate " The knight said with disdain
Hayato frowns and says with a cold voice " No, now you"re going to tell me or not "
" Grr! *PAM* " The knight slams the table and he gets up with an angered face " Kid! you better behave yourself! I can make you get arrested! "
" Calm down, the city lord said that everyone has the right to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament, as long as they fulfill the requirements " The other knight that was taking notes said with a serious voice
" Tch…! " The knight turns to see his partner and he sits down again reluctantly
" This will be a fighting tournament, only those of the warrior type can partic.i.p.ate, it will be unarmed combat and only Human men can partic.i.p.ate, the rules will be explained tomorrow " The knight explains with a smile as he continues writing
Hayato makes a face of doubt and he points at Dye, Maya, and Alyra " Why only men? my partners here are really strong "
The knight stops writing and turns to see them " Well, that"s simple, the tournament is for the hand of the daughter of the city lord, so... " The knight said with a wry smile after seeing Maya, Alyra, and Dye and he continues writing
Hayato makes a face of disinterest and says " Hmm, then is for that "
The knights seemed to haven"t seen Hayato"s face, and he continues " No just that, the winner will receive 5 platinum coins, the second place 5 gold coins and the third place 5 silver coins, the tournament will start tomorrow, today is the last day for registration "
" That sounds pretty good " Hayato shows interest when he feels a kick in his left leg " Auh….. wha... " He turns to see behind him and sees Alyra giggling, Dye with a clueless smile and Maya looking to her right ignoring him
The knight turns to see Hayato and he says with a smile " Then you want to enter? "
Hayato smiles wryly at Maya, Dye, and Alyra and he turns to see the knight " Of course, my friend here can enter too? " He smiles as he points at Wade
The knight raises his eyebrows as he watches Wade " That depends, how old is he? "
" I"m 25 years old " Wade said calmly
" You are just in the limit, but you can partic.i.p.ate " The knight smiles and he puts out a new paper
" Then what now? " Hayato asked with curiosity
" Tell me your full names and your age " The knight said with a smile and he prepares to write
" My name is Hayato Uchiha, I"m 15 years old " Hayato spoke with a smile and the knight started to write
" That"s a really strange name " The knight makes a wry smile writing Hayato"s name then he turns to see Wade " And you? "
" I"m Wade Blackwood, I"m 25 years old " Wade has a calm face
" Okay, now please put your hand in this Level Stone and that way I can register your power levels " The knight puts a stone of the size of a fist and the first one to touches it was Wade
The Knight nods with a grin " Not bad you are a level 8 Advance Super Warrior, now you, please "
Hayato puts his hand on the stone and the knight makes a surprised face " WOW! you are a level 10 Advance Super Magic Swordsman! you are the second Magic Swordsman that registered! but you are a little younger! "
The other knight that was writing yells with disbelief " That must be fake! how is possible that a peasant had that strength! he must be cheating somehow! "
" You know that no one can cheat the Level Stone, so don"t yell again " The knight said with a mocking face
" Ugh... " The knight that yelled was speechless and he sits down again with an annoyed face
Hayato grins after seeing the annoyed knight " Well, is true that I am cheating, but is to decrease my strength not increase it, thinking about that, Syt can you show me my stats again "

" My hidden strength increased just a little bit, I think it was thanks to all those battles I had, but even so, it"s just a small change, I need more System Points "
" It"s done, now take this, is your identification for the tournament " The knight give Wade and Hayato a small white card with their names and category in it " The tournament will start at noon tomorrow, the tournament would be on the center of the city, good luck " the knight grins
" Thank you " Hayato smiles and turns to see their partners " Let"s go to eat something " and they went to the city
The city is not different from the other kingdoms, but now they can see ornaments like flags hanging on the homes and stores of the kingdom all of them say tournament and the people seemed very expectant about that even the kids with their little flags
Dye smiles and points to a restaurant " Let"s eat there! " and all of them entered there
The knights kept writing the names of all the men that wanted to partic.i.p.ate until they finish after a few hours
" We finally finished, now we can rest a little " The knight that attended Hayato stretches his back
" Yes, I"m tired of still standing all the time " The knight that was standing said with a wry smile as he shakes his left leg
" Tch! commoners, do your job properly! " The other knight that was writing says with an angered face as he starts to stack several papers
" Haha, but we already finish our job so relax " The knight that stretched his legs loughs happily
" No! I will take these doc.u.ments to the city lord, so, goodbye " the knight ended to stack the papers and he leaves with a sullen face carrying a pile of papers
" Haha, that kid really made him angry " The knight that stretched his legs loughs of his partner
" What kid? " The other knight that was standing approach them with a face of doubt
" Don"t you remember? the one that was an Advance Super Magic Swordsman " The knight who was still sitting answered as he stacked his papers
" Oh! yes, he was really impressive, so young yet so powerful and all those girls that were with him were really beautiful at the level of the daughter of the city lord " The knight said with a surprised face
" Yes they were but at least they smiled not like the city lord"s daughter that never smiles " The knight who was sitting said with a wry smile, then he makes a sad face " I feel sorry for that boy "
" Why? " The knight who stretched his legs before said with surprise " He is stronger than us "
The knight finishes his paperwork and says with a serious face " Yes, he is really strong, but the Duke"s son registered before him and he is already an Amateur Earth Magic Swordsman, so I doubt that he can beat him "
" Oh, yes I forget that too " The knight that approached them later made a face full surprise
The knight that was still sitting makes mockingly smile " You need to do something with your memory my friend " Then he says with a solemn voice " There is something I heard before we came here "
" What? " Both knights turned to see him with curiosity
The knight that was still sitting says with a wry smile in his face and he gets up " Someone told me that this tournament is just a show up to demonstrate the power of the Duke"s son before engaging him with the city lord"s daughter "
" Haha, that sound crazy my friend " The knights laughed of his partner
The knight grabs the papers and he makes a wry smile " I just said what I heard, now let"s collect everything before we leave "
Hayato, Wade, Alyra, Dye, and Maya walked down the street looking for a cheap place to stay after eating their food that cost 2 copper coins per person, so they now have less money than before
Hayato is seeing the houses and the streets with a calm face " The only thing different in this city from the Kingdoms are the ornaments, nothing new that could be interesting "
Maya turns to see Hayato with a teasing smile and says " What are you thinking Hayato? don"t tell me, you are thinking of how will look your future wife? "
Hayato makes a nervous smile and he points to the buildings " Huh.. no, I was thinking that the buildings here are not different from the ones that are in the Human Continent "
" Yes, I read something about this before, it seems that most of the cities that are near the coast are like this because they want to make they tourist more comfortable, maybe the cities that are in the middle of the continent look different " Maya explained with a happy smile
Hayato makes a grin and says " I hope so "
Alyra sees Hayato with doubt and says " Then Hayato, can you tell me your true purpose for entering that tournament? "
" I want to know that too! " Dye said with a happy voice
" That should be obvious, he entered for the money, no my friend? " Wade respond with a grinning face
" You are right, the first and second places have a good reward, now that we need money I think it was a good idea " Hayato responds calmly
" Then what are you going to do about that girl? " Maya made a curious face
" Well, if I and Wade arrive at the finals, I will let Wade win " Hayato smiled as he points at Wade
" No, I don"t want that, you have to fight with me with your full power, I want to see your full power " Wade made a serious face as he was releasing his fighting intent
Hayato shakes his head and makes a wry smile " Ok, ok, then I will think in something else later "
" Hayato, we can stay there, the prices look good " Alyra points to a Hostal that had the prices of their rooms outside, the rooms cost 6 copper coins for one night
" That"s fine, let"s stay there " Hayato smiles and they walked to the Hostel when Hayato heard something in his head
[ " Quest started:
Win the tournament
reward: 35,000 System Points " ]
" Hmm? " Hayato stops walking and he makes a surprised face
