Alvarez Coliseum

Later on, after preparing and now out of town:

"Hey, Sueong..." Chelliel speaks up, grabbing his attention, "About what you said about training... what is it that you're striving for?"

"Oh yeah, I did say we would tell you that later." Hiouis recalls, "Well... that's completely up to Sueong anyway."

Sueong only frowns as he looks/walks straight ahead.

"Oh, Uh... I see." Chelliel looks down, sad look, "It has nothing to do with me, after all."

"..." Sueong then replies, "I'm striving for something that you can't comprehend." He starts explaining.

"Huh?" Chelliel doesn't get it.

"I'm in search of the Dragon slayer king, known as Acnologia." Sueong reveals to her, "He's responsible for taking my dragon father, Icigoneal's soul."

"A dragon is your father?" Chelliel expresses surprise.

"I was a bit surprised too when he first told me." Hiouis admits.

"That's why I've been training for a whole year, every single day." Sueong adds on, "All in order to kill him."

"Wow, Sueong..." Chelliel mutters in a low tone.

"You don't need to concern yourself with me. It's a goal and my goal alone." Sueong said and looks straightforward as they keep traveling.

"..." Chelliel still isn't sure.

*"She's really worried and has it bad for him the way I see it."* Hiouis observes her expression while floating with his wings.

From there on and for the next 5 hours, they stop and take breaks every now and then, all morning.

**5 hours later**, **1pm:**

They make it to their destination, "So this is Alvarez empire's city, huh." Sueong looks at the view as they reach the gate.

"It looks pretty old if we're being honest here." Hiouis comments as a gust of wind flies around.

"I don't think that's it. It's probably way because of the sand-like gust that's flying out here." Chelliel says as she covers her hair back from the wind.

Sueong stares at the city from top to bottom and the surroundings, *"I feel something off about this city."* More wind gust keeps blowing of sand, "Let's go." He walks forward.

"Uh, right." Hiouis floats and follows.

"Wait, hold on." Chelliel runs and catches up.

With it being half clouded weather, and the lower part of the city they're waking in being deserted, a poster is spotted next to a few buildings as they walk by.

"What's with the poster's?" Hiouis wonders and Chelliel goes to check one out.

"Look here, It says that their will be some kind of battle royal taking place at the Vistarion's coliseum." Chelliel reads, "The last man standing gets a special prize."

"A battle Royal happening in this deserted-like city? Sounds legit alright." Hiouis says with a paw under his chin.

"They didn't even say what the reward is." Sueong notices.

"Well, it could be anyway, like a billion jewels? Who knows... though I hope I'm right." Chelliel says, also thinking what it would be like to have a billion jewels, *"Anything could happen with a billion jewels."*

"She has a money-thirst look on her face after saying that." Hiouis sweat-drops, and sueong roles his eyes.

"So, how about entering it? It sounds fun." Chelliel says.

"Hmm..." Sueong is thinking.

"Yeah, think harder." Hiouis jokes.

"I don't see why not." Sueong shrugs, "It ain't like I have nothing better to do."

"That's what I wanted to hear! This is gonna be an easy win for the ice dragon slayer. Hiouis jumps/raises his paw.

*"I still have suspectsomething about this city, especially with this special royal prize..."* Sueong thought, *"But who knows, maybe I could be wrong and have my suspicion too high."*

The trio continue on, also having lunch first before heading to the Vistarion coliseum.

"So this is what the atmosphere looks like." Hiouis looks around and a lot of competitors are entering, getting suit up.

"The way I see it, most of these guys are fodder." Sueong comments, looking around as well.

"I don't think it's a good idea to underestimate these guys, Sueong." Chelliel warns, "It's pretty arrogant."

"That's why I said 'most'. Never said it was everybody." Sueong replies as they walk on, "Plus I hate arrogance."

"Oh... well I take that back then." Chelliel sweat-drops.

"Sueong's the calm type overall so there's that." Hiouis says.

The keep walking through the vistarion hallway, in the crowd and already see people gathering around two people.

"What's going on over there?" Hiouis wonders.

"It... appears to be some kinda brawl." Chelliel takes a closer look as they join and watch.

"If they're part of the Royal competition then I don't see what's the point in brawling now." Sueong doesn't get it, but watches anyway.

The two competitors got into a fight because of them provoking the other until a lean/very tall muscular guy breaks them up.

"Save the fights for the actual Royal. Using your strengths here would be senseless." The guy said.

"You butt into everything, don't you, Tyrone Stadon?" The one he broke up looks and identifies him.

"It's just what I do, friend or foe." Tyrone shrugs and walks on.

"I didn't expect that type of attitude and calm break up." Chelliel says.

"No doubt at that." Hiouis agrees, "He's probably in the battle Royal competition too, sueong."

Sueong only looks at Tyrone in silence as he walks ahead, but isn't all that bothered, "Yeah, let's go on ahead ourselves. Gotta get to that registration after all."

"I'll sit this one out." Chelliel says, "Watching the Royal seems more interesting to me."

"Even though you have grass magic too? I mean you did take out some wicket soldiers with that." Hiouis reveals.

"That was then, this is now." Chelliel replies, "Plus, Sueong is definitely stronger than me so there's that."

"Hmm, true that." Hiouis agrees.

"It wouldn't of hurt if you tried... but whatever suits you, probably the right choice." Sueong doesn't have a problem and they walk on ahead.

Tyrone stops and turns behind, glancing at Sueong, *"That white-haired dude has powerful magic... I can feel it. Gotta keep my guard up around him."*

**Now at the entrance:**

"Me and Hiouis will find somewhere to sit. Good luck in the coliseum Sueong." Chelliel holds Hiouis and winks.

"Yeah, sure." Sueong nods and goes on, "I'm getting this over with though.

Now all competitors are standing in one big coliseum ring, each standing in different spots away from the other.

*"I plan on ending this in one big freeze."* Sueong thought, prepared to get it over with in a flash.

As the competitors are ready, On the side of the arena ring between the audience, August steps up with his staff in hand and everyone in the audience turn up towards him, "Welcome, everyone! To the Alveraz Coliseum's battle Royal. This event invites every strong competitor from any country to put their skills, magic, and pride to the test."

*"Nobody's getting the chance to do that."* Sueong thought.

"This coliseum seem to have lots of strong warriors. Only one man will be left standing and the winner of this battle Royal will claim the secret prize." August finishes.

The crowd roars in cheers as it's gonna begin, with every coliseum battler in possession.

After three seconds, "You may begin due battle!" The Reference announces and calls it.

Every combatant was about to go and clash with each other until suddenly, "Freeze!" Sueong brings out ice while standing in one spot and freezes the whole coliseum ring, freezing every competitor in the ring like the statue they are.

"HUUUHH?!" The audience is shocked at the battle Royal apparently ending fast by just one guy: Sueong, who stands in the middle on the now Iced coliseum.

The Ice boy blows cool fog out of his breath and frowns, "There you have it. This is the end of the Royal."

"He wasn't bluffing when he said he was gonna end it quickly." Chelliel says but surprised as she holds Hiouis in her arms.

"When he declares things like that, he won't hesitate to execute it." Hiouis says.

Sueong walks around the frozen statued combatants, "You can call it now, referee, this is over."

Suddenly, an Ice statue starts making a sound, "Hmm?" He looks to one of them and after a few seconds, it busts, revealing to be Tyrone, "Oh?"

"Huh? He's that guy from earlier. He broke out." Chelliel recognizes.

"No kidding. I believe it was Tyrone." Hiouis recalls, "Wonder what his magic is."

"That was quite a flash freeze you just pulled." Tyrone rusts himself off, "It was too surprising and it took me off guard."

"Well, well. Your that Tyrone guy from earlier." Sueong recognizes, "You managed to break out of my Ice statue prison. Not bad."

"Why thank you. It took some effort breaking out though." Tyrone replies/grins, "It's just the two of us so let's make this one heck of a battle. I do want to test some new tricks on you."

"Hmph. All right, if you insist." Sueong gets in position, "I'll fight you just to blow off some steam."

"Heh, let's not get cocky." Tyrone starts using his magic, **"Diamond-make: Hard Fist**!" He hardens his right hook in diamond and strikes at sueong, who encases his fist in ice and meets the attack, clashing fists.

"So you're magic is Diamond-make, huh." Sueong notices, as they locked via fist, "Pretty rare."

"Everyone I come across says that." Tyrone replies and smirks before backing away, "Doesn't stop me from pulling out the stops."

"Surprise me then and quit yapping." Sueong makes Ice saying 'Bring it'

"Heh." Tyrone goes on the offensive, **"Diamond-Make: Pillars!"** He smashes his diamond fist to the front and diamonds start coming at sueong.

**"Ice-Dragon Make: Pillars!"** He stomps his left foot on the ground and stops/counters it.

*"He copied the same thing."* Tyrone though, *"He has a make-magic too?"*

"My turn." Sueong jumps at him, **"Ice Dragon's: Diamond Fist!"**

**"Diamond Skin!"** Tyrone hardens his front body in a Diamond arm and tanks the attack.

"Oh? Didn't see that coming." Sueong then backs.

"You use Diamond magic too?" Tyrone asked, curious.

"Nope. Just that I can make my Ice shine like Diamond." Sueong replies.

"Wow, that Tyrone guy is pretty much evenly match with Sueong. Something told me he was strong when he stopped those other guys from fights earlier." Hiouis says while watching.

"He uses Diamond magic too, which is rare." Chelliel adds.

"Interesting, well carry on." Tyrone then uses another, **"Diamond-Make: Cubes!"** He forms medium small cubes around him and fires them off.

Sueong simply steps his feet on the ground and an Ice walls forms in front of him, shielding off the cubes.

"Nod good enough." Tyrone enlarges the Diamond cubes and this time them smash through the Ice wall, "Gotcha." He's confident that he strikes sueong, but when the Ice wall shatters, he's nowhere to be found, "Gone? Where!"

"Here." Sueong then goes for a punch, which Tyrone quickly hardens his back side in Diamond, tanking sueong's punch and not feeling anything.

"Alright, now that stung." Sueong then goes for, "**Ice Dragon's... Crushing Fang!**" He covers his hands/fingertips in ice and strikes tyrone, who still using Diamond skin, sending him sliding back.

"That still won't work." Tyrone smirks, receding his Diamond body.

"Tch, that Diamond magic is tough to get by." Sueong scoffs, but is prepared anyway.

"My turn!" Tyrone goes for close-combat, with his fist covered with Diamond. Sueong dodges 5 fast blows and is forced to block the 6th one.

"!" Sueong slides back from the heavy impact, but felt pain in his right arm, "Some power that was." He quickly shakes off and is fine.

**"Diamond cubes!"** Tyrone fires and Sueong dodges them at great speed one by one before doing, "**Ice-Dragon make: Cubes!"** Sueong fires in similar return, this time overtaking the Diamond cubes.

**"Diamond Skin!"** Tyrone does it again and is unaffected by the ice cubes.

"That Diamond skin is a pain so I'll just simply freeze it off and end this now." Sueong declares and frowns.

"Let's see you try that. I can take it." Tyrone pumps his fist together.

"Fine then." Sueong uses great speed and is already up in front of him, "**Ice Dragon's... Wing attack!**" He gathers Ice in his arms and coats them before slamming them into Tyrone in an X fashion.

"Don't you get it, it's not gonna bust through my Diamond body." Tyrone grins in confidence, unfazed, "Huh?" He then sees that the Diamond part of him on his stomach is freezing solid.

"Heh." Sueong uses an encased Ice punch and strikes through the frozen part.

"Gah!" Tyrone is struck by his actual skin and is send flying back.

"He finally got him!" Chelliel cheers.

"Just like they said, they don't keep using the same attack or it'll be used against you." Hiouis says, "That Tyrone guy is gonna lose eventually. I don't even think sueong is trying all that much."

"You don't think so?" Chelliel asked, looking down at the exceed.

"Nope. I can tell by just his body movement." Hiouis replies.

Tyrone stands up, having shakes off his injury.

"It's no surprise that you're not use to taking an actual attack, seeing that you rely on that Diamond skin too much." Sueong figures out, "Hope you severe the next one well."

"Incredible, that ice of yours is strong enough to freeze my Diamond solid." Tyrone stands up, "Though I'm curious to ask, why didn't you try that from the beginning?"

"Like that matters." Sueong replies, "but, It was really just to see what you got, in all honesty. Now you're figured out."

"So that means..." Tyrone didn't want to believe it, "You weren't trying that much during our exchange of blows!"

"You could say that." Sueong confirms before encasing his fist in ice, "I'm settling this now."

"I'm still not gonna give up just cause you got me figured out." Tyrone encases his whole arm in shining Diamond.

"Not going down without a fight after being figured out? Great guts for you." Sueong just dashes at him with that said.

Tyrone does the same and their fist collide, Ice and Diamond fists, creating a shock wave due to magic power.

"HAA!" Tyrone starts pushing through.

"Hmph!" Sueong pushes back.

"This is like a down to the wire!" Chelliel covers from the shockwaves.

"Yeah, but the winner's already clear." Hiouis says, knowing the outcome.

After a few seconds, Sueong ice fist triumphs over Tyrones fist and shatters/freezes through his Diamond fist, striking him in the chest.

"GAHA!" Tyrone is sent flying and crashes into the wall, sliding down and defeated, out of the ice filled coliseum.

"This fight was a shining inevitable, you could say." Sueong comments after receding his ice.

"There you have it, the winner of the Battle Royal is Sueong Ryuto!" The Referee announces and the crowd cheers loudly.

"He did it!" Chelliel is happy too, with a little blush that is.

"Of course, he's Sueong after all." Hiouis smiles/nods.

"Too many loud cheers, which is kinda aggravating... but whatever." Sueong sighs/smirks anyway before walking over to Tyrone, who regains consciousness.

"Amazing power... you were the first opponent to ever shatter through my Diamond skin." Tyrone complements, "Every fighting tournament or Royal that I go to, I always wins thanks to this... but this time, my win 15th win streak is done. Congratulations on your victory."

"Humph." Sueong then smiles, "I gotta admit you put a good fight. With just more training on that Diamond skin and you'll be a forced to be reckoned with this time around." He says that and walks off.

With his eyes widened, Tyrone felt encouragement in those words, and then smiles, excepting his lose and standing up as the crowd cheers.

After a few seconds of that and the cheers now seizing, August walks up again and announces, "Now we will grant the special winning prize to the last stand combatant."

"Okay, here's goes... the special prize." Chelliel wonders.

"It could be anything that's so legit." Hiouis guesses, "I'm dying to give out."

As the crowded looks up at august, a woman appears and walks up next to august, "Let me be the one to explain the 'special' prize to him, august." She says with a massive light-brown staff in her hand.

"If you insist, go on and take care of it, Irene." August allows her too.

She then jumps down to the coliseum floor and lands gracefully in front of Sueong, 5 feet away from him.
