The Extra Seeks Chaos-Chapter 197: Tournament [2]

"Ah! Finally, he's running!"

"Hmm, but even if he gets to the flag, will he be able to bring it back before the time elapses?"

"Who knows? Maybe a miracle will happen? Hahaha!"

Tessa, Alex, and Ron were also watching Arin, hoping that he gets to the flag and brings it back quickly.

Though, Ron couldn't help but voice out his thoughts.

"Was running to the right really the best option?"

He paused, furrowing his brows as Tessa and Alex looked at him as if asking him to explain more.

"I mean, the majority of the participants there ran forward, which seems like the best option to me. And moreover, it seems to be working," Ron said as he gestured for them to stare at the screen again.

Immediately they looked at the screen, they instantly understood what Ron was talking about.

"She's fast..." Tessa muttered, watching as a girl finally reached the flag, grabbed it from the ground, and began running back.

"WOAH! It seems one of the participants has finally gotten their flag and is now heading back!" The announcer exclaimed.

"And wait, she's a student of Blackstone City! This very City!" He added, making all the students of Blackstone City cheer loudly.

Meanwhile, Arin was still running. He knew that he was being watched by all the students in the arena, so obviously, he didn't run at full speed, but he also didn't run at a slow pace.

He made sure to run at a speed that wouldn't be abnormal for a Mage.

As he continued running, he noticed that the markings were still present on the trees, making him believe that he was on the right path.

'And what the hell are the organizers of this tournament even thinking?' Arin thought. 'They just left us to do this with our school uniforms... They didn't even provide battle-ready clothes.'

Yes, the 14 students were all doing this with their school uniforms. While it wasn't that uncomfortable, it still didn't provide the best of comfort when running.

'And I also can't help but think that there's a reason for this.'

ROARRRR!!

As Arin was running, a Bear suddenly blocked his path, and began dashing towards him with its huge body.

Arin for once didn't even reduce his speed. His eyes sharpened as he continued dashing forward. He gripped his sword, and then...

SLASH!

He swung his sword, sending a slash of water towards the incoming Bear.

WHOOSH!

The Water Slash moved with great speed, faster than the first time he used it.

It instantly split into two other slashes, making it a total of three slashes.

ROARRRR!

The bear roared again as it raised its right paw and swung it towards the incoming slashes.

BAM! BAM!

It managed to destroy the first two, but the last one made a slash on its body, making it roar in pain. But before it could do anything, Arin had already reached it.

Arin jumped up slightly with his sword pointed out in front of him. The bear couldn't even react before the sword stabbed its head.

Using the momentum of the sword that stabbed the Bear's head, he lunged himself forward, crossing a good distance.

With that, he continued his dash. He met a few more Beasts along the way, but he was able to deal with them quickly. And since people were watching, he mostly used his Water Element Spells instead of relying on his physical capabilities.

WHOOSH!

Arin continued running, and after a few minutes, he finally saw something.

"A flag..."

The flag's pole was white, and it was the same for the cloth attached to it.

Arin instantly rushed towards it, but just as he was about to grab it...

WHOOSH!

He suddenly felt something heading towards him with great speed, and he knew that if he didn't evade it, it could spell trouble.

With that quick thought, he instantly leaped back, and then...

BOOM!

The spot he was formerly standing on suddenly got destroyed.

His eyes instantly darted to the left where the attack came from, and he saw a boy with brown hair.

The boy's sharp green eyes were fixated on him as he walked forward with his slim but muscular body.

He gripped his large hammer, with his eyes never leaving Arin.

"That flag is mine," he said, his voice deep even with his not-so-hard face.

Arin smiled. "Okay, I'm not arguing with that."

And then, the boy blinked, but before he knew it, Arin had already moved with insane speed and grabbed the flag.

His eyes widened in shock. Before he could even say anything...

WHOOSH!

Arin had already dashed away, turning back and running towards the direction he came from.

"Come back here!" The boy roared as he raised his right foot and stomped it on the ground.

BOOM!

The ground was instantly destroyed as his legs suddenly began trembling rapidly.

And then next instant...

BOOM!

He blasted off the ground, racing towards Arin who was also running, but hadn't gone that far from the boy.

Arin, seeing that the boy was already closing in on him, gritted his teeth as he increased his speed slightly.

The boy's expression hardened as he raised his large hammer.

"Hammer Art, First Arc: Wind's Response!"

He suddenly made a throwing motion with the hammer, but the hammer didn't leave his hand, instead...

BOOM!

The force from just the throwing motion made the air tremble.

WHOOSH!

The force generated instantly raced towards Arin, increasing as it got closer.

Arin who was still running felt the force heading towards him with great speed.

"Tch..."

Without wasting time, he moved slightly to the right, and then...

BOOM!

The ground where he was just standing a second ago instantly got destroyed, but he continued running forward, not even bothering to look back to see where the boy has reached.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The boy made the same throwing motion a few more times, sending more force-filled wind towards Arin.

'Warriors are scary....' Arin thought as he felt the attacks heading towards him.

This time, he suddenly made an abrupt stop as he turned back to face the attacks.
