AN: Enjoy the chapter!


Knight Pov


I strolled out of the locker room, grinning excitedly while making my way to the arena in the center of the room. I noticed Yang had beat me out of the locker room and was already there as I walked up.

"You ready to get your ass kicked, Xiao Long?" I challenged as she grinned back confidently.

"Anytime you are Vladimir" She replied, both of us moving to opposite side of the arena. I stretched while waiting for the match countdown to start.

"3" The system began, we grinned at each other confidently.

"2" I crouched, tensed, ready to spring forward.

"1" Yang dropped into her fighting stance..

"Fight!" The countdown ended.

I charged her, making use of my enhanced limbs for a burst of speed to appear in front of her, I tried to roundhouse kick her but she countered by grabbing my leg and throwing me towards the edge of the arena. 'Not bad' I thought as I flipped through the air before sliding to a stop, looking up I noticed her charging at me, she tried to land a right hook but I ducked it and hit her hard in the stomach, making her bend slightly in reaction before I followed up with a heavy kick, knocking her back. I charged towards her, landing a few hits but not enough to make a huge impact as she kept either dodging or smashing her fist against mine. Eventually she hit me hard in the chest, knocking me back far enough to give us both space.

We stared at each other a moment before she suddenly opened fire with her gauntlets, I did all I could to run and dodge, avoiding Yang's explosive firepower. I waited for an opportunity before grinning and without warning running directly at her as she reloaded, once I was close I quickly dropped and slid into her legs, knocking them out from under her.

"Got you on the ground, blondie" I teased when suddenly she flipped, straddling me with a grin.

"And now I got you pinned, sir knight" She teased back, she pulled an arm back before smashing it into my face disorientating me, I did the only thing I could think of doing and started rolling us until I had her pinned under me.

"Oh? What's the big scary robot gonna do to little ol' me?" She said in a teasing innocent voice to which I answered with a grin and activated my semblance as what looked like a slightly transparent blue hammer smashed into her face, knocking her senseless and wiping out the remainder of her aura.

"Winner! Knight Celeste!" The system announced as the crowd cringed at the last brutal hit.

I collapsed next to her, both of us panting tiredly, I reached out and nudged her to get her attention.

"Did you have to hit so hard?" I complained with a chuckle as she giggled, both of us standing slowly and walking to the stands where we collapsed next to each other exhausted.


Silver Pov


"Guess that means I'm up." I said as I removed my arms from Icarus and Ruby's hold.

"Don't worry! If you hurt yourself I'll be your nurse!" Icarus assured me.

"Euh! Me too!" Ruby joined in.

'Almost makes me want to get hurt, almost.' I thought before heading to the locker room to change. Once there I found my locker and opened it revealing my hunter's attire. I quickly changed clothes before materializing my psionic throwing knives from my inventory and had them hover around me, I now possesed twenty of these little death machines. I found Ren already prepared on the arena, standing as serene as ever.

"3" The countdown started, I quickly went invisible and prepared to unleash my blades.

"2" Ren made no move, standing calmly

"1" The arena was silent

"Fight!" The countdown ended. I unleashed my swarm of blades towards Ren, however he seemed to weave through them heading directly towards me before opening fire on my position and actually hitting me, even as I dodged he seemed to track me, seems his senses are no joke. I deactivated my stealth and called my blades to me having them spin in front of me to deflect the incoming dust rounds, as they spun I split off five of them to convert into ion cannons hovering above me and began returning fire. Ren, seeing he was outgunned started charging right at me weaving through the ion rounds until he was within range to strike.

'Oh… he's good.' I thought before calling two blades to me to wield as makeshift daggers and charging to meet Ren, our weapons collided and Ren used his momentum to flip over me dodging the knives I had attempted to send towards him. We returned to close combat, occasionally clipping each others aura as we crossed blades until we were both in the red, we both flipped away from each other and started sending our ranged attacks at one another once more. I opted to let my twenty blades spin in front of me and before firing them all at once into a massive ion round that impacted into Ren, he had used his blades to deflect most of the damage but his aura couldn't take it, Ren fell to one knee as his aura depleted. I immediately called off my bombardment and allowed my knives to drop to the ground before going to help Ren to his feet.

"Winner, Silver Silencian!" The system announced. I supported Ren to his seat by Nora before calling my knives to me and stowing them on my huntsman uniform, with that done I returned to me seat between Icarus and Ruby.

"I really wanted to be your nurse too…" Icarus sighed as I sat down, Ruby seemed slightly downcast as well.

"Well, you're up next, how about whoever wins I'll do one request for?" I suggested, fire seemed to ignite in both their eyes… what have I done.

"Not take backs!/No take backs!" They both cheered before running to the locker rooms to change and gear up. Once they returned to the arena the countdown started once more.

"3" They tensed, ready to spring.

"2" An inferno could be seen raging in their eyes.

"1"

"Fight" They both charged directly at one another… however… Icarus slipped as she was about to attack and Ruby couldn't slow down as she had used her semblance to gain speed… They both collided into each other smashing their heads into one another with a solid smack.

"Tie!" The system announced as both of them laid on the twitching, it seems they didn't put up an aura shield in time. I made my way down to the arena and carried Icarus and Ruby's twitching forms over my shoulders back to their seats where I set them down… idiots. Next up should be Jaune and Pyrrha… this should be interesting. I watched as they both entered the locker rooms and returned in their combat attire, weapons in hand.

"3" Jaune raised his shield and held his sword tightly

"2" Pyrrha aimed her spear as if she was about to throw it.

"1" Jaune looked a little scared.

"Fight!" Pyrrha launched her spear towards Jaune and clipped his hoodie sending him out of the arena.

"I'm sorry!" Pyrrha called out politely to where Jaune was hanging from the arena wall.

"Winner by ringout! Pyrrha Nikos!" The system announced.

"Owowowowoowowww/owowowowowow" I heard from either side of me, seems they woke up.

"Who won?/Who won?" They both asked at once, really was it that important to win?

"Neither of you, it was a tie." I told them chuckling slightly.

"So we both won?" Ruby tilted her head and asked.

"Or did we both lose?" Icarus followed up.

'Oh no.' I thought. They looked at each other before coming to a silent agreement.

"We tied so we'll share the request, if that's alright with you Silver." Icarus said a little too sweetly.

"Yeah, you promised…" Ruby said with silver puppy dog eyes.

'Fuck me…' I thought before nodding my head, two against one, how was i supposed to win?

"Yes!/Yes!" They cheered before high fiving each other. An unspoken alliance has formed this day.


Knight Pov


'Guess that leaves Eliza and Nora.' I thought as I watched Pyrrha help Jaune down before they returned to their seats. Eliza stood and walked to the locker room as Nora did too though seeming excited. Once they returned I watched as Eliza nod politely at Nora from the opposite side of the arena as the countdown began. Once it started Nora used her hammer to propel her forward towards Eliza as she simply dodged the rocketing past girl and used her spear to clothesline her. I winced at that and chuckled while Eliza waited for Nora to stand and held her hand up and did the universal 'bring it' gesture as Nora grinned charging her but Eliza seemed to gracefully dodge and dance out of the way of each blow and smash while also leaving little slashes here and there, which were quickly adding up and beginning to run Nora low on aura. Suddenly Nora, slammed her hammer down, the force of the impact knocking Eliza back a few feet and knocking up dust.

Suddenly from the other side of the wall of dust 4 grenades flew towards her along with a rocket hammer propelled Nora. Eliza simply smirked, using her spear to knock the grenades back at Nora and using the explosion as a distraction suddenly summoned a spear from the ground, hoping to finish her there. Suddenly though Nora dropped from the explosion, completely dodging the large summoned spear and slamming her hammer into Eliza's stomach and knocking her into the air as she landed against the arena floor hard.

"Tie!"

I glanced at the scene in confusion before noticing the several thin spears that must have erupted from the ground after Eliza was airborne and finished off Nora's aura. I chuckled shaking my head and heading down into the arena and helping Eliza up and carrying her into the stands while she tiredly protested the action but quickly stopped from being sore from the rather harsh hammer blow and the drain of summoning more than one spear at the same time.

"Nora can take on the next fight, Eliza is too tired out" I announced with a smile while Eliza tiredly pouted before moving from my arms and plopping down on Icarus much to mine and Silver's amusement.

"She doesn't have such cold and hard arms like you...and I'm tired." She stated as she snuggled into Icarus causing me to laugh.

"I say we call it for the day, rest up and come back to finish this." Silver suggested, he's right, I could use some rest after that fight with Yang. Numerous groans and nods of agreement were shared before we all started leaving the arena.
