Chapter 84 Let Me Fight Him
Just like Keith had expected, Clark did try to come in contact with Clara.
Once they were done with log transportation, they had to go and receive their share of food, he tried to cut the line. Coincidentally, the place he picked was right behind Clara and that was exactly where Amelia was standing.
Keith turned around and looked at Clark who was two inches taller than him, slightly more muscular that Brandon and had a majestic silvery white beard.
Before Keith could express his dissatisfaction, he saw Clark's head jerk forward.
Amelia slapped his head angrily and glared at him, "Oy, you fat bear bastard, why the hell are you cutting the line? And even if you're cutting the line, why are you coming here instead of going to the front? Which church are you from, huh?!"
She wasn't quiet about it and her voice was high, gaining attention from various other teams in an instant.
Clark looked at her and frowned.
"What?" she asked aggressively, but he ignored her and got out of the line before moving to the back.
Keith followed him with his eyes and nodded inwardly, 'Indeed, he'll just walk away from things if he can't use violence to solve them and this is no place to use violence either. But I'm sure that he'll keep an eye on Amelia.'
He shifted his gaze to Amelia and smiled, "That was great!"
"What do you mean great? That bastard just came here and stood in front of me like nothing was wrong. Which church picked him up from the gutters and didn't bother teaching him manners, huh?" she asked loudly and looked around, clearly waiting for answers.
In that moment, someone from the war god's church walked forward and gave her a slight respectful bow, "I apologise miss Amelia, he's a new recruit and he takes mercenary missions. He might be a bit rowdy, so I hope you forgive him."
Using this chance, Timmy walked forward and complained too, "How is it possible to forgive him? Not just this incident, from morning, he's been trying to sabotage my team's progress! I suggest kicking him out of the training camp as he's causing too much problems."
Clark on the other hand, nonchalantly looked away, making Keith squint his eyes.
'He's plotting something... that bastard.'
Keith took a deep breath and shook his head, 'Just wait and watch for now... or... I'll give him a trash system and keep tabs on him.'
Even though he thought that, he did not act on it as he wanted to experiment a little with creating his own system.
Just before the fight escalated, the announcer old man let out a fake cough, demanding everyone's attention.
"Fighting is not against the rules. You'll only be punished if you harm someone a bit too much." he said and pointed at a bunch of sumo rings on the beach behind him.
They looked like traditional sumo rings, with thick ropes used as a boundary but these rings had a diameter of ten meters.
"Today's event will be combat based and the usage of weapons or armors is not allowed. Even the ones that can be summoned with your awakened ability are also not allowed." he added before continuing, "There will be neutral judges to watch your fights and you're allowed to pick whichever team you want to fight. As long as both parties agree, the fight will be official.
The teams that didn't manage to get any opponents will be paired up by us, so I hope you guys won't complain later. Both the winning and losing teams will get certain points based on their performance, which you can use to buy certain things.
Oh yes, another thing. The fights will have to be one on one, and the limit to the number of fights will depend on the team with the lesser members. You guys can also reduce this number as long as both the teams agree to it.
You have ten minutes to pick your opponent team. Good luck all of you."
Keith saw Timmy run over to Clark's team, trying to challenge him. Unfortunately, Clark ignored him and looked at his own teammates, who amounted to just two people.
Once he was done talking, he brought his team towards Amelia, "We challenge you."
Amelia frowned and looked at Brandon, hoping that he would reject the guy, but Brandon nodded, "I don't know why you want to pick on my team, but we won't back out from a challenge. A total of three members, right?"
"Yes. I don't particularly have any combat related abilities and it's the same with my teammates." Clark said and pointed at the guy beside him, "This kid here can turn invisible and the girl beside him is his sister and she can summon a large bag that can carry things."

"And make them weightless..." the girl added meekly and Clark nodded, "Yes that."
Hearing this, Brandon grinned, "Heh, you guys will lose for sure. We have Nathan who can use a holy knight armor set, I can use stone skin and we have Laura who can transform into a snake. You guys... are very impulsive."
"We'll win." Clark said and walked towards an empty ring with his teammates right behind him.
Keith sighed and patted Brandon's shoulder before reminding, "Nathan can't use his armor set. Weapons are not allowed... were you even listening?"
"I mean, he can still use his enhanced physical abilities right?"
"Not without his armor on, you dumbass." Amelia frowned as she looked at Brandon who shrugged, "It's fine. We still have me. I can guarantee a win and Laura should be able to get that girl too. They don't have any kind of abilities, so we have an advantage. Even though we can't use Nathan, we have Clara. She can easily beat me up if I don't have my stone skin on."
Amelia nodded, "That's right, there's nothing to worry about. Though, let me correct you Brandon. Clara can beat you up even when you have your stone skin on. I saw it happen."
Before Brandon could reply, Keith placed his hand on Brandon's shoulder, "Let me fight Clark."
