Supremacy Games

Annoyed by the deafening noises, Felix rubbed his ear while standing up. He looked at Olivia, who was clapping her hands innocently and sighed.

"Little Oli, stay behind me during our first battle alright?" He warned her, "Fighting for real is not the same as in the elders' UVR rooms. So stick by me until you get used to it."

Though Felix said so, he knew that Olivia would probably never get used to the feeling of seeing others get harmed or harming them by herself.

He didn't doubt for a second that she would actually go heal up their opponents if one of them was in critical condition.

She was already doing so during the practice fights, and the elders were tired of scolding her for it.

"Don' be silly! How can the healer stay in one place?" She gave him a thumbs up with a confident grin and said, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

"I doubt it." He smiled wryly and said to the rest of his team, "Prepare yourselves, we are going next in ten minutes."

Felix didn't need to remind them, as they were already doing their parts to relax their nerves over the upcoming battle. Sarah and Johnson were meditating, taking deep breaths in and out, while Noah was merely staring at the sky absent-mindedly.

Meanwhile, the four commoners, Lexie, Isabella, Dale, and finally Nathan, were conversing with Kenny with such unexpected familiarity that they could be confused for lost friends.

Heck, Kenny had only 12 hours to get into their clique and make them feel comfortable beside him. The way he spoke, moved and acted didn't have a single ounce of pride and superiority of being heir to a business empire.

No wonder all cousins called him the hundred-faced Kenny. He could make those around him unwittingly drop their guard by changing his personality to compliment theirs.

After seeing that no one was nervous, not even Olivia, Felix nodded his head in satisfaction. He didn't want to be the captain since he needed to be responsible for them, especially when the elders and instructors weren't allowed to be near the resting area.

But, it seemed like everyone was managing themselves properly without getting him worked up.

...

After ten minutes, the arena was cleaned yet again. Though, that long duration between battles wasn't for exactly so, but for TV Ads!

There was no way in hell the organization would let such a freebie go by them. The tournament was being spectated live by a hundred million viewers at the least.

The stream wasn't broadcasted only in America but actually worldwide. The majority of countries were tuning in to watch.

After all, when compared to the rest of the national team battles, which were happening in most countries, The USA tournament, the Chinees tournament, and finally the European tournaments, were the popular ones.

Right now, the only national tournaments left were the USA and some small countries. As for the rest? they already finished 15 days earlier and picked the teams they were going to send to represent them.
