Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 45 Hope

"You do?" his brother asked.

"Yes, bro I do, the reason is I was getting quite serious while fighting him, yet he went head to head with me, I am the one that fought him so I know what I am saying, I think this time too she made a good choice," he responded and Adora smiled.

"There we have it now what more do we have to talk about?" Adora asked.

"Well, it seems like someone or something is looking forward to ripping this and other kingdoms apart by editing the monster's bloodline and adding it to even normal humans and strong fighters. I think whatever this is, they are trying to change the world order, which means we could be looking forward to an apocalypse or another great war. Henceforth, we will be forming a team with a few captains to help other kingdoms later on in the future. In a few weeks, there will be a meeting about this in the parliament. You will be sent messages and I expect to see all of you there," he responded.

"Fine, we will be there, anything else?" she asked as the other matches began while people started rushing to see the fights.

"Damn, it's like a noise house out there, nothing more, and if I were you, I'd keep an eye on your new student. You don't know anything about him," he said.

"Bro, come on, that's enough," Yola said as he stood up, and she followed him out.

"You don't need to take my brother's word to heart, I think he is just seeing a little bit of danger in Alix. I did sense the same," Yola said as they walked to the VIP section where Alix and the others were waiting.

"You are not smelling high, that's a good thing," Adora said as Alix looked at her then scoffed.

"You guys look as though you are rearing to go, what have you been feeding them?" Yola inquired as he sat down.

"Nothing special, just courage," Sarah smiled.

"You've got a good bunch, Adora, it makes me jealous sometimes," Yola said.

"You are right to be jealous, I only pick the best, even if I have to build them up myself, I did that before, it wasn't so hard then and it certainly isn't now," she replied as they looked at the match.

"All right, let me ask you this: if you ever had the opportunity to join a stronger team, would you take it?" Yola inquired.

"No," Alix replied, and Adora's eyes widened as she looked up at him, but not once did he look back at her.

"No, we wouldn't," the others said, and Yola smiled.

'We are good then, right?" Adora asked as Yola stared at her.

"You haven't changed much over the years, yes, we had many misunderstandings, but it led me to understand you, so we are good, thanks for still being my friend," he reflected.

"Yeah, we're fine," he said.

"Guys, I'll be the next one to fight," Aerav said as the princess stood up and approached him.

"Are you nervous?" she inquired as he lowered his head.

"A little," he replied, and she patted him on the back.

"You'll be fine, whether you win or lose, as long as you try your hardest," she said, and his eyes widened as Alix looked at her and sighed.

"Thank you very much, your highness," he said.

"You got this," Ayden said.

"Give it your all, if not that then just your current best," Alix advised.

"Thank you guys, I really appreciate it," he said as Adora sat back down and looked at Aerav's opponent, who was standing on the sidelines awaiting his turn.

"I know you said he should just give it his best shot but are you really that concerned about him?"Alix asked as he sat beside Adora, who sighed.

"His opponent is fierce. He won't back down easily, I know I said it would be fine, but I also don't want him trashed. Even though I believe his powers are great, if he pushes himself to use them, I am sure he will see that too," she responded.

"I don't know how you do it, seriously, I can't be you, that's for sure," Alix said as they called out Aerav's name.

"I am up," he said, grabbing his sword while walking away.

"Don't fail, I know you'll blame yourself if you do, Alix is different from you."

"You guys aren't the same even when I compare your situations," she reasoned as he arrived at the ring and the referee let him in.

"Come on Aerav, you can do it, stop being a coward," he thought as he looked at his muscular opponent, who smirked.

"I will crush you," he said and Aerav smiled nervously.

"I hope you guys packed your bags," Adora said.

"We did," Liza responded.

"You can stay behind," she said and Yola laughed.

"I may not be a member of your team, Adora, but know that I don't wish them ill, this team is intriguing, and I'd like to see where you lead them," Yola reasoned as he gazed at the princess and she sighed.

"Thanks, I would say the same but I won't," she said with a wink as they watch the math that was about to be fought.

"Now let the fight begin," the referee shouted then blew the whistle and Aerav's opponent rushed to him then hit him into the air, and grabbed him by the feet.

"Oh, that's going to hurt," Alix said as the guy hit Aerav against the poll.

"Ouch," Ayden said.

"Oh come on that's just one hit, he can handle that," Eliza replied.

"Is that all you've got, I am sure you can do better," Aerav said as he stood back up with a gentle smile.

"Alix, do you think he will win?" Eliza asked.

"Depends, let's see, he has hope, as long as he has that then maybe," he responded and she smiled as Aerav rushed to his opponent and struck him across his leg.
