Chapter 19 Manipulator

"Fine I will not speak to you like that, now pull me up," Alix said and the princess raised him up then he sighed.

"Can you give me the type? categorize the creatures that I might bump into here?" Alix asked.

"There are no classes among these creatures why?" she asked.

"Because there are various types and they cannot be placed onto levels," he responded.

"Good but they can be differentiated by their abilities, there are blood manipulators, you need to understand the concept, they are not vampires yet they manipulate blood enough to destroy a vampire, now if you want to know more about the creatures you have to research on your own, I cannot tell you about all the types that will be here though, because even I won't know until your next opponent is decided, understand?" she asked.

"Your highness does anyone knows their opponent's powers here?" Sarah asked.

"No and you will only know their names and see them, you will have no information about their abilities until the match or unless you find out on your own, you can because you will know who you are fighting from beforehand you will have little time to dig into that person," she responded and the girl smiled.

"Ranks? what's the most dangerous rank?" Alix asked and she smiled.

"There are no ranks, this is a world of monsters kid, you can bump into anything, I warned you guys, don't say I didn't," she responded and Aerav's eyes trembled.

'It's your job to rank the creatures by their powers" Aerav said.

"No it's not, they cannot go ahead and do that, like she said there are many types, many different powers, more powerful and some weak, some are even combinations, they cannot be ranked, that's no one's job," Alix replied and Aerav sighed as the king went into the ring with his mage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first day of the tournament, hope you are all relaxed and prepared to see the world's biggest tournament of the year, here you will be able to feast your eyes on some of the most powerful beings, let's begin," the king said and everyone cheered as the mage glanced at Adora and she downed her head as Alix looked at her then at him.

"Why is he looking at you like that?" Alix asked as the king got out of the ring and the mage disappeared then reappeared before Adora and she jumped as he stared at her with his glowing green eyes.

"It's time you quit being their teacher, you will regret it if you don't," he said.

"You.... go back and be with my father, keep him safe, I am a big girl, I am not a kid anymore, I know what I am doing, leave me be," she replied.

"Fine suit yourself, you are a brat... you won't understand what I am saying, enemies lurk here, they will kill you the first chance they get," he said and she downed her head as Nina came to her and bowed.

"Your highness, two wolves and three vampires are dead," Nina said and Adora's eyes trembled as Nina looked at her with pleading eyes and she looked at Alix and his team.

"The wolves alpha and vampire prince, are they blaming anyone?" she asked.

'Your highness, LARS agents, they did some digging from last night to now, the killing was done by dire wolves too," she responded and Alix gasped.

'First match will be that of the princess's Adora student Sarah, she will be going up against Max," the referee announced and Adora looked at Sarah as the girl grabbed her sword and Adora grabbed onto her arm.

"Don't worry, I promise I will win," she said with a smile then walked away.

"If she loses I will quit coming to the matches," she said and the mage smiled.

"Sit," Adora said and they did as told as Sarah stood form in the ring with the sword before her.

'I need to calm down, I have practiced martial arts for years, this should be easy for me," she thought as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Ready, begin," the referee said as the guy stared at Sarah while she held her form and her feet was light ready to move fast but what she didn't expect was that the person before her was a blood manipulator.

"You won't win against me," the person said as she was about to strike when her entire body stopped moving.

'Oh no, this is bad, he is a blood manipulator," the mage said.

'He is going to stab her with her own blade when he gets the chance, they love doing that, Sarah, you need to break loose use the power of chi/qi, control, you are a martial artist, you can do this," the princess thought as the guy bent her hands back and she screamed as he kicked her into the side of the ring.

"She is not strong enough to control her chi, she needs practice," Alix said and Adora smiled.

"You have been doing your research or did you watch a lot of anime?" she asked and he scoffed as the guy pulled Sarah towards him and punched her in the face then in her stomach causing her to cough up blood due to the impact of the punch.

"He is taking advantage of her weakness," Ayden said.

"Give up, if you don't give up he will hit you until he knocks you out," the referee said as Sarah turned and looked at her teammates and saw the princess downing her head in disappomiemt.

"This match decides if I am worthy of being her student, I have no intention of disappointing the princess," she thought as she forced herself to move her hand and the blood manipulator gasped as the girl held on tightly to her sword forcing herself to break his control over her body.

"I... I have no intention of losing, i... I have a goal in life...." she said as she broke his control over her body and Adora along with Sarah's teammates smiled while everyone looked on, they were so hooked on Sarah as if they were looking at one of their favorite tv shows.
