Rise of the Malactric Heir

While they waited, the others ate, and the nurse finally finished caring for Aerav.

"How is he?" Alix asked as she came out along with Aerav whose stomach was wrapped in bandages and he smirked.

"He will take more than two weeks to fully heal, he had a few more broken ribs, he should avoid training as well as any sort of fighting and he will be fine," the nurse said." he also needs to eat a lot more to gain back his energy."

"Is that all?" Alix inquired.

"Don't worry Alix, I am fine," Aerav responded and they sighed in relief, then looked down at the ring which was almost ready.

"Are you ready, Sarah?" Aerav asked, and she smiled as she gripped her sword tightly. Adora grabbed her arm, pulling her aside, and she sighed.

"What's bothering you?" Adora asked.

"I- I don't like our opponents at all; they are not like Soren and the others, and I get a bad vibe from my opponent as well," she replied.

"I know the feeling, listen to me, use your powers out there don't hold back even if it means hurting your opponent, she won't hold back against you because she knows you are strong, I need you to relax Sarah, think like you always do during a match, don't think about winning or losing though, please don't," Adora said and Sarah smiled then took a deep breath.

"Got it, do you think our opponent might actually be bad?" Sarah inquired, and Adora patted her on the back.

"I am not sure, so I won't judge just yet, good luck out there, remember you are the weapon, not just your sword," Adora said, and Sarah smiled, relieved.

"Sarah, you are up next," Zack said as he approached them.

"Best of luck, Sarah," Alix said.

"Good luck, relax," Ayden said and she smiled.

"Thank you guys," she said before leaving and Adora sighed.

"Zack," Adora called out, and he turned to face her.

"Can I come to your office for a few minutes?" she inquired, and he smiled.

"You don't have to ask, come on," he responded as she grabbed her snacks that she brought and a bottle of juice.

"You guys can go back to the VIP section, eat, drink and watch the match without freaking out please," Adora said.

"Got it," Kyris replied, then they went back to the VIP section and Adora went with Zack to his office, where she took her mask off and he sighed then made sure the door was locked.

"You can see the match from here," he said as he collected his bottle of juice from his desk and drank it.

"You seem tired," she said as the match began and he gave her one of his chairs to sit on by the window side so she could watch the match and he sat beside her.

"I am- Uh... I have been meaning to ask you this, after here, you will be looking for the next energy source, right?" He inquired as Sarah defended herself against her opponent, a formidable swordsman, and kickboxer.

"Yeah, why?" she asked, noticing Sarah's focus was on defense rather than offense, and she smiled as she saw the girl holding her own.

"I need a break, and if it's possible, please take me with you," he said as she patted him on the back.

"Sure," she said.

"Really?" he asked and she smiled.

"Yeah, now eat and watch, I want to see how good she has gotten one thing is certain, I know Sarah is more powerful than her opponent in this match," she responded as they carefully watched the match unfold in front of them.

'She is quick and calm; does she believe she will win?' her opponent wondered as Sarah remembered Adora's words, trying to be as calm as possible, allowing the energy to flow through her body with perfect flow, and her opponent smirked, kicking Sarah up in the air, jumping up and hitting her back down to the ring with force, injuring Sarah but she got hold of herself and before colliding with the ring and flicked mid-air before landing on her feet.

'She is syncing her boxing skills into her sword skills, she is strong,' Sarah thought as she took a deep breath as the girl rushed towards her with speed to kick her. Sarah knew that if she let her kick her, a few of her bones would be broken, so she blocked the girl's kick with her feet, which were under a lot of pressure.

"I am not going to let you kick me in the stomach any longer," Sarah said as she spun around and kicked the girl to the other side of the ring.

"You are smart and irritating, just like your friends; if you can't win here, you are not a good enough swordsman and will never be, which I am sure is what you want to prove," the girl said as she stood up, and Sarah's eyes shook at what she said.

"You guys are still not strong enough to even take on all three of us at once, just wait and see what happens to your last opponent, we don't care whether we win or lose either," she said and Sarah lowered her head.

"Oh no," Alix said as the girl moved so quickly that she was behind Sarah in the blink of an eye, and blood was running down Sarah's right arm because she had cut the girl's arm, and Sarah smiled because the wound was not that deep.

"I am not going to let you win," Sarah said as the girl was about to strike again, but Sarah grabbed her sword, forcefully blocking her opponent's attack, shoving the girl back, and the girl sighed.

"Damn, well from this I can see that they are both physically strong; who will win this match?" Alix inquired, and Ayden sighed as he observed Sarah and the girl moving so quickly, leaving only the sparks of their blades clashing behind.
