Tournament, Part - 2

Nero said, "Ask what happened happened to me."

Elder: "Ahh, it was nothing. You just lost the round."

Nero: "I am... so... sorry for what happened. I thought I would win the round, but it was like my fault that I underestimated my opponent and my fighting techniques are too bad."

Elder: "It's fine. The tournament isn't over yet. You could learn from their fights."

Nero: "I guess you are right."

Nero went to the tournament again and sat down, watching the tournament. Ura and Roi sat next to him to talk with him. Round 4 was between Yuji (Group-4) vs. Enimo (Group-6).

Enimo is a special member of Group-6. He has the power of infinite speed and infinite strength.

The Round-3 begins. Enimo said: "Okay Yuji, don't be so hard on me. I know I will lose, but be polite, OK!!"

Enimo directly spawned behind Yuji and punched him in the chest, but Yuji's chest just turned into flame, and something like flame just created on Enimo's wrist. The flame grabbed Enimo's wrist, and the flame started converting into Yuji's body.

Enimo tried to run with his infinity speed, and because Yuji was holding his wrist, he couldn't even move an inch.

Then, Yuji said with a smile: "No displacement, no acceleration, no velocity, no speed, no strength."

Enimo was looking at him with feared eyes. Yuji just punched Enimo straight to the face, and Enimo became unconscious. Yuji won the round.

Nero was shocked and asked Roi: "Wow... how strong is Yuji? Enimo was with infinity speed and strength but still couldn't do a thing!"

Roi: "Well, of course, he is the 3rd strongest member in the whole Group-5 group members."

Nero: "Who's first?"

Roi: "Of course, Sine."

Nero said: "Then who is second?"

Roi: "The one who is sitting here..."

Right next to you, Nero: "YOU!!!"

Roi said: "No… that's Uro."

Nero just dropped his jaw. Uro said: "But how?... is he stronger than me?"

Nero said: "Wait, how? It's obvious Yuji is a fire-style user and Uro is an ice-style user. They are perfect opponents for each other."

"Why is Uro stronger than Yuji's fire? Fire can melt ice easily." Nero asked.

Roi: "But it isn't only about which element has a better advantage; it also depends on how they use their abilities differently."

Nero: "How is that supposed to mean?"

Roi explained: "Uro can turn anything into ice and, of course, Blood has over 90% of water. So, he can use his ability to freeze his opponent's brain, which paralyzes them and makes them unable to defend anymore."

Nero: "Ooohhh…"

Speaker: "Now the round begins with Valen (Group 1) vs. Roi (Group 3). The powers of Ice vs. Roi!"

(Group 3) Roi is a special member who has powers of regeneration (with no limitation) and super intelligence in multi-universes.

The battle begins, and Valen was very scared to move. But suddenly Roi said, "I surrender!"

Valen was shocked, and everyone in the stadium audience was shaken that someone like Roi, who is immortal and the strongest guy, surrendered.

But of course, some smart guys weren’t surprised like Uro. Nero wasn’t shocked, but he was confused. Nero asked Uro, "I have a question."

Uro replied: "Spit that out."

Nero asked: "Does it hurt when he gets cut, or does he not feel anything?"

Uro explained: "Yes, it hurts but about twice as much as normal wound."

Nero: "Ohhh… so that's why he surrendered?"

Uro said: "It's a good reason, and also the opponent of his is the weakest of them all, even weaker than you!"

Nero: "Ohhh!"

Uro: "And Roi is kind-hearted. That's why he surrendered. He wanted him to win."

Nero: "I see."

And after a few hours of matches, the winners were finally announced for the rounds. The winners from different groups were:

From Group 1: Valen and Darius

From Group 2: Winoc

From Group 3: Uro and Thiago

From Group 4: Zedd, Ishi, Jade, Rory, and Pq

From Group 5: Denver and Queen

Nero was utterly shocked that all members of Group 4 won and didn’t even lose a single round.

The next match was about to begin. Then suddenly, an elder came to Nero and said that he needed to get back to Earth to retrieve his sister “Nini.”

Nero asked, "Why?"

The elder replied, "I don’t have much time to explain. Go back and come with Nini as fast as possible."

Nero immediately went to Earth. While heading there, Nero heard the voice of the elder.

The elder said, "Hello! Nero, can you hear me?"

Nero replied, "Elder? Yes, I can hear you!"

The elder said, "Good. This is a technique to communicate across long distances. You need to get there as fast as possible because your sister is in danger."

Nero asked, "What?!"

The elder explained, "Yes, and because she doesn’t know how to use her power, she can’t defend herself."

Nero responded, "Damn it, I gotta move faster."

(Scene Change)

Due to the elder’s announcement, the tournament rules and match opponents were changed. The new lineup was:

Round 1: Uro vs. Zedd, Ishi, Jade, Rory, and Pq

Round 2: Yuji vs. Winoc, Valen, Queen, and Thiago

Round 3: Darius vs. Pq and Denver

Darius became very angry. He felt insulted and said, "How dare they insult me like this (angrily). They think I am weak!"

The round was about to begin.

(Scene Change to Space)

Nero: "What is this all about? Who is trying to kidnap her?"

The elder: "It’s a long story. In short, she has something very important."

"She knows the detail about plasma, and if our enemy extract her memories, then it might be a big problem," Nero said. "And who is our enemy?"

The Elder replied, "People with evil intentions. If they find out about plasma, it’s over."

Nero: "Who is doing all this?"

Elder: "Neon!"

Nero: "Neon?!"

(Scene Change to Tournament)

Radio: "The battle begins between Yuji vs. Winoc, Valen, Queen, and Thiago."

The battle starts with Winoc throwing rocks at Yuji using his telekinesis powers. Yuji melts them by releasing a healing wave. Queen, with his magic spell, creates a barrier around his teammates. The barrier is heat-resistant.

Valen tries to attack with ice, but it melts.

Winoc said, "Don’t attack recklessly, Valen!"

Thiago to Valen: "Are you stupid, or what? We need your powers, so don’t waste your energy like this."

Valen: "Okay."

Thiago uses an attack called "Terra Fusion," which creates a muddy trap under Yuji’s feet. Yuji starts sinking into the mud and couldn’t move his legs.

Winoc: "Now!"

Queen creates a magic barrier around Yuji.

Queen (with a smile): "Alright!"

Winoc: "Valen, create a strong ice weapon."

Valen: "Um... Ah, yeah, I will try."

Valen tries to create a strong ice weapon, and he creates a big, bold spear.

Winoc: "Good! Alright, Queen, remove my barrier and use it on his spear."

Queen: "What?!"

Winoc: "Do as I say..."

Queen creates a barrier around the spear. Winoc uses telekinesis power and throws the spear with full power. The spear almost reaches the speed of light. Because of Queen’s barrier, it didn’t melt.

The spear directly passes through Yuji. Blood scatters.

Winoc: "NOW, Queen create an another magic barri--- (Blood coughing): "What...?"

Yuji: "This is the difference between you and me."

Winoc realizes that the spear hits himself, not Yuji.

Winoc: "How...?"

Yuji: "You were in my Metsubou. With this I can create a seamless loop of time and space. It creates a reverse space time loop around 3 km of radius so if someone tries to attack me than it will reverse it and hit himself. (whispering to Winoc) I recommend you to give up otherwise my secrete will be reviled.

What is secret that Yuji is hiding? Will he win the round?
