Supremacy Games

10:00 PM sharp...

Peep Peep!

Felix's focus was broken by the bracelet's alarm going off over and over again.

"It's been 7 hours already?" He murmured in surprise.

He truly felt like he spent just an hour or two on his practice.

Alas, the small mound of broken black stones lying next to him was enough proof that he was just too engrossed in his manipulation to notice or even bother thinking about other matters.

Plus, he didn't see any drastic improvement during his practice, as every manifestation had almost the same delay or slightly above the other.

Though, to make sure if he really didn't improve during those 8 hours of practice, he decided to create the same string, the same ping-ball, and the same snake, which he took data of.

Immediately, he extended his palm and ordered for the string of poison to manifest. After waiting for only a second and a half, the mist converged as a string on his palm!

Felix couldn't help but grin widely in delight at the fact that a half-second was shaved from just 8 hours of practice!

Yet, this wasn't all as the following ping-pong ball and the snake almost had that half a second removed.

"Hehe, If I kept practicing like this each day, it wouldn't be long before I start using small-sized abilities of my own creation." He laughed in elation while standing up from his meditation position.

The results were satisfactory and now he only needed to be putting effort to remove the delay and start using poison manipulation to his pleasure.

Rumble...Rumble

Hearing his stomach complaining again at him fasting since he entered his hotel's room, Felix pressed it with his hand and beamed three food containers.

However, after remembering that the banquet was going to end in an hour and it was quite far from his hotel, he realized that he would not make it if he ate here while still undressed.

"Might as well eat in the banquet." Deciding so, Felix retrieved the food containers in his spatial card before beaming a formal black suit on the bed.

He removed the sealed plastic and placed down each part of the suit separately on the bed. He started to undress, leaving only a t-shirt and boxers.

He swiftly wore the pants first, followed by the white shirt before throwing the jacket on it.

He went to the mirror and fixed his pitch-black tie and hairstyle. He already got a haircut in the camp. Thus he wasn't struggling to fix it up.

"Asna, how do I look?" Felix asked, feeling satisfied by his reflection.

"Meh. I have seen better." She replied playfully, mimicking Felix's voice when he said the same to her months ago.

"You are truly the next level of holding grudges, aren't you?"

Annoyed and somewhat amused, Felix chuckled as he went back to the bed and wore brown leather shoes.

After seeing that he was ready, he left his room, heading to the elevator.

On his way, he made sure to inform one of the designated drivers to the team to bring a car in front of the hotel.

Ti-ring!

The moment the elevator opened up, Felix noticed that it was already full with multiple bloodliners belonging to other teams.

Their team uniforms and different mutations gave them off.
