The Locked System

" Hmm, it"s nothing, let"s enter " Hayato shook his head and smiles

" Syt, can you tell me what was that? G.o.d wants me to win the tournament? "

[ " No, it seems that this quest was activated by you " ]

" What? how? "

[ " I don"t know, I think you really want that money, no? " ]

" Mmm maybe, but that"s good, now I have a strong reason to win this tournament "

[ " Secondary Quest started:

Arrive at the finals, without using the Demoniac Transformation and the Sharingan

reward: 7,000 System Points " ]

" Another one! perfect! "

[ " This one was sent by G.o.d " ]

" Oh! then he wants me to win without those powers if that"s what he wants I will do it "

Hayato had a small smile in his face after that, they enter the Hostel and went to the reception, where they pay for five rooms, expending 1 Silver coin and 20 Copper coins.

They were lucky, it seems that most of the rooms of the Hostel were occupied by the partic.i.p.ants of the tournament and some people that were there for cheering them

" Hayato, remember that we have to be in the center of the city tomorrow at noon, so don"t stay wake up late " Maya made a cute angered face

" Ok, geez, see you tomorrow " Hayato made a wry smile and he entered his room

Hayato, Wade, Maya, Alyra, and Dye entered their respective rooms to sleep, but Hayato has something in mind

Hayato was standing still without moving with his left hand in his chin " The knight said that the tournament will be without weapons, that means I can"t use my Katana or the Fourth Hokage Kunai so that discarded my Flying Thunder G.o.d Jutsu and my Chidori Sword "

Hayato sits in his bed and keeps thinking " For what I learned, there are some guys that can use techniques to boost their speed, reflexes, and strength, I only have my Demoniac Transformation but I can"t use it and if I can"t use my Sharingan too, things will be difficult, I can"t underestimate my opponents as I did with Alyra"s Grandfather "

Hayato lays in his bed " I Have to buy something that can boost my speed and strength " Hayato jumps from the bed with surprise and he began to smile " There is that! why I didn"t think about that before!? with that, I will win even if my last opponent is stronger than me "

Hayato leaves a kunai on the bed and he teleports out from the room, he didn"t come back until the sun turned the sky orange, he came back with some bruises and parts of his clothes tattered

" It took me some time to use it well, but now... " Hayato raises his left hand and his left hand was covered with a thin layer of blue lightning that then disappeared " Raiton Chakura Mōdo or Lightning Style Armour, the same Jutsu that the Fourth and Third Raikage used, that Jutsu increased their speed, strength and even defense so much that can stand a Chidori and it only cost me 5,000 System Points, haha, now time to sleep "

Hayato slept until something didn"t let him breathe

" Ugh..ah...AAH! " Hayato opens his eyes abruptly and he saw Maya"s face separating slowly from his face, there is a small trail of saliva connecting their lips " Maya, what are you… " Hayato spoke with surprise but Maya interrupts him

" What did I told you Hayato? you oversleep, the tournament will start in half an hour " Maya made a pout as she gets up from the bed

" ..!? then we have to go! " Hayato surprises and he jumps up from the bed

" Hehe, you dummy, you even slept with those tattered clothes, now put this on " Maya smiles and she throws a black robe with a hood to Hayato

Hayato grabs the black robe and he makes a face of doubt " Why? "

" It"s raining outside, I bought them while you were sleeping, I grabbed the money you left in your bed " Maya points at her robes with a smile

" How much did this robe cost? " Hayato smiled as he changes his tattered clothes and puts the black robe with a hood

" 1 copper coin, but I bought 5 so it was 5 copper coins " Maya made a sweet smile and she gives the small bag with coins to Hayato

" Oh! thank you, Maya " Hayato grabbed the small bag and he storage it on his inventory

" Hehe, no problem, now let"s go " Maya smiled and she grabbed Hayato"s left hand

Hayato and Maya left the Hostal, outside the Hostal were Alyra, Dye, and Wade waiting for them, they were using the same black robe with a hood, the rain doesn"t seem to moist the robes

" You finally woke up my friend " Wade makes a grin

Hayato smiles and says " Haha, yes I was training yesterday so I overslept "

" Hayato! look at these clothes! they don"t moist even if I move around! " Dye said happily as she was jumping around

" Well, they are made by a special material against the rain, but they are very cheap " Alyra made a bright smile

Hayato smile and nods " That"s good, now let"s leave "

"Yes, let"s just follow the signs that are in the walls of some buildings and we will arrive there " Wade points at the signs with an arrow

Hayato, Wade, Alyra, Dye, and Maya walked under the rain until they arrive at the center of the city after 15 minutes, the center was huge. There are four platforms made of stone, each platform is around 50x50 meters they are the rings of the tournament, around the platform are benches of wood, they are very tall enough that from the highest point a normal person can see the four platforms at the same time without problems, the benches had a separation from the platforms around 20 meters.

In one of the tall benches there is a special area with a lot o fancy chairs and well-dressed people with some knights around them, there are two men and a beautiful girl with an azure hair in the front of the special area, these three are watching the platforms with calm faces, one of the men wears eccentric clothes, he looks around 40 years old, he has white hair with purple eyes and a really strong body, he was talking with the other man that looks a little younger than him, the other man looks around 35 years old he has a long brown beard,his hair is brown to the shoulders and yellow eyes, he wears a brown armor and his body looks stronger than the other man

The beautiful woman wears a long blue dress that sticks to her body, remarking her attractive figure and prominent bosom, she looks around 20 years old, she has small pink lips, her azure hair reaches her shoulders, but she brushes the left side of her hair behind her ear, revealing an earring in the form of a blue dragon, she has purple eyes just like the man to her left, the only thing that doesn"t go with her lovely face is that distant look that she has

"Haha, look, my daughter, what did I tell you, you are beautiful enough to bring so many young people just to compete for your hand, if it weren"t for the rain, everything would be perfect" The white-haired man laughed happily when he sees to all the people below him

The brown-haired nods with a smile and says " You are right city lord, your daughter is beautiful, even the son of the Duke fell for her "

" HAHAHAHA! I"m blessed for having such a daughter! he is really strong it will be a bless if he becomes my son in law! " The white-haired man laughed even louder than before, making some of the people turn around to see him with smiling faces

" This is already decided, so why do you feel proud ?" The beautiful woman said with coldly

The white-haired sees the beautiful woman with a nervous smile " I don"t know what are you talking about Kara, I read the names and categories of each person that entered the tournament and there is some that can bring him a lot of trouble "

" ...whatever you say, father " The beautiful woman named Kara turns to see the platforms ignoring the white-haired man

" City lord, don"t you think is time to the announcement of the rules of the tournament? " The brown-haired man said with a smile

The white-haired man shakes his head and says " Let"s wait, Captain, until most of the spectators are on their sits we can begin "

Hayato, Wade, Maya, Alyra, and Dye arrive at the entrance of the tournament grounds, they approached a young knight on the entrance

Alyra speaks first with a smiling face " h.e.l.lo, we came here to watch the tournament and they will partic.i.p.ate " she points to Hayato and Wade

The knight shivers a little and says with a shy voice " Eh?... s-sure, can you wait here a little bit " and he leaves, after a couple of minutes he brings another knight

" Come with me young ladies, I will guide you to empty seats " the other knight bowed and spoke in a calm voice

" See you later Hayato! See you later Wade! " Dye waves her hand and she left with the knight

" Good luck! both of you! " Alyra made a gentle smile and she follows Dye

" Break a leg, my love! " Maya smiled sweetly at Hayato and then she turned to see Wade and makes a wry smile " I"m sure you will lose to him, but good luck Wade "

" Thanks... I guess? " Wade makes a face of doubt, Maya leaves and she, Alyra and Dye disappeared among the crowd

" Haha " Hayato laughed a little, then the young knight spoke

" You are partic.i.p.ants? can you show me your white cards? " asked the young knight with a small smile

" Here you go " Hayato gave him the small white card

Wade gives his small white card too " Here"s mine "

" Mmm, t-this is good, come with me " After the young knight read the white cards he made a shocked face then turns around to leave with Wade and Hayato following him closely

The young knight guided them to a place near the four platforms where all the partic.i.p.ants were, there are some that are using the same robes against the rain just as Hayato and Wade but there are others that didn"t even have a shirt

" Here you can wait for the announcement of the city lord, he will start the tournament " The young knight bows and leaves

Hayato nods and smiles " Thank you "

A handsome young man with a black hood and green eyes approaches them and says with disdain " Hmph, more commoners came to the tournament, I don"t understand why the city lord let this kind of people partic.i.p.ate in the tournament "

" Haha, that"s true they are here just to make us waste our time " Another handsome young man next to him laughs mockingly he wears the same black hood but he has blue eyes they are a little taller than Hayato

Hayato turns to see Wade with a face full of doubt " You heard something Wade? "

Wade makes a serious face and says " Yes, I heard them, it sounded like two stinking dogs barking like idiots "

Hayato nods with a small smile " Oh! then I"m not hearing wrong "

" What did you say, commoner!? I"m a n.o.ble of the Shokan city! " The handsome young man with green eyes yelled with anger and the other one grinds his teeth

Hayato makes a mockingly smile and says " Blah, blah, blah I don"t understand you, dog go find a bone in another place "

" Grr..! you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! when we fight, I will kill both of you! " The handsome man with green eyes yelled and left with the other one behind him

Hayato shakes his head and asks " Wade, there are always will be people like them in every city will go? "

" Yes, that"s how those stupid n.o.bles always are, we can"t change them, but we can thrash them " Wade made a sinister grin as he was seeing the backs of the young men

After waiting for 15 minutes the city lord stands from his chair and with a soft but powerful voice he begins to speak

The city lord speaks with a happy voice " Welcome to the tournament ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the benches we prepare are completely full, that means there are 15,000 people watching the tournament, let me thank you for coming, now about the partic.i.p.ants, there is an incredible amount of young men partic.i.p.ating for the money and my beautiful daughter but that"s a problem "

The crowd in their sits began to whisper and speaks with surprise creating so much noise

The city lord makes a wry smile " Calm down, calm down, it"s a problem thanks to the huge number of partic.i.p.ants, but we can fix it some knights will make a line in front of the partic.i.p.ants, they will carry a box with four different types of small spheres, White, Blue, Yellow, and Red, all the partic.i.p.ants will grab one, when everyone has one I will explain the next step "
