Chapter 60: The Tournament

"Yes. I will do everything and I will do my best so that you will not be ashamed of me. I will show that you did not waste what you taught me."

Oprhen ruffled Grimm's hair. He loves its character which is quiet and not arrogant. But there really is something to be thrown away and the ability is not light.

Meanwhile... Belphegor stared at Gaunt's face. He smiled a little when he saw the anger in its eyes. Very angry. And that anger, obviously meant for him.

"Tell me, what makes you angry with me? From what I can see, it looks like you want to kill me." he said sarcastically.

Annoyed Gaunt, clenched his fists. After that, he quickly punched his father. That blow was strong because he wrapped a great fire and force of his power into his fist. Belphegor flew away and slid to the ground several times. The wall hit by its body collapsed and it was covered with rubble. That anger, for its use on his brother Grimm. He took a deep breath. He could not understand but a large part of his personality was happy to know that his brother did not really betray him.

He looked at Belphegor. He still could not see it because it was still covered by rubble. He heard laughter from there. A strong force dispersed the ruin. They melted in the hot red-flame. Its long, red hair floated in the air. It slowly stood up and smiled staring at him. It simply wiped the blood off the side of its lip.

"How dare you three times a day... That anger was really meant for me eh?" Belphegor said happily.

Gaunt was a little bored. Their father is really bad. But that's really it, it's a demon and that's what he is.

"Tell me, why are you mad at me?" innocent of this question.

Just annoyed Gaunt looked at his father and turned away.

"Ah... I remember! Today is Kristine's death. Ha ha ha ha!"

Belphegor parted the many strands of his hair that covered his face.

"Today is the day that she was killed by me. Huh, she's lucky, right? Of all the people I killed, she is one of the ones I remember and I really know when the date will be..."

Gaunt growled even angrier.

"You bastard! You are really shameless!"

But he never rushed to his father again. He knew, it would only make him even angrier.

"Thank you for the compliment, son." he teased.

Gaunt was about to walk away...

"Just a moment..." Belphegor said suddenly.

He stopped taking appropriate steps.

"Why?!" his disgusted his language.

"Have you updated any information on your brother Grimm?"

A secret grin appeared on Gaunt's lips.

"I haven't heard anything from him yet." his short answer.

And at the very least, he feels he has retaliated a little for his lying.

"Haaay... Is that so? It's a pity! I miss Grimm!" suddenly its language.

Gaunt was shocked to face his father. He smiled foolishly and sat down on the floor. It stared down at him dejectedly.

"You heard right, I miss your brother."

Gaunt's eyes widened and full of doubt stared at his face. After that it laughed softly.

"I miss beating him and torturing him." its appendix.

He shook his head and smiled.

"Crazy!"

He turned around and walked away.

"Thank you for the praise!" Belphegor said laughing.

He is a bit bored because he has not received any updates on his reprimanded son Grimm. And this is another Gaunt, as time goes on, it doesn’t follow him much anymore. But Gaunt could not disobey or oppose him. He has a big ace holding against it... And that's what he doesn't know. That was one of the big surprises he was preparing just in case...

Meanwhile... Grimm sighed steadily as he watched his fellow students fight. Low-ranking students fight first. Since he is still in the top 10, he still has a long time to wait. When his time finally came, he immediately jumped into the middle of the arena.

"The fighter, Grimm Redshade!" another member of the female council announced.

Everyone fell silent. No one applauded. Everyone was stunned when the veteran exorcist Zeus jumped into the arena.

"This is my chance to regain the honor you stole from me, child. I will make sure I bring you down today. Your just lucky when we last met." arrogant language of Zeus.

Grimm did not speak. While Clemen's eyebrows met. He folded his arms and then...

"Grimm! Put down that arrogant one! Don't hold back! Show what you can!"

Orphen couldn't stand it anymore. He also fired.

"Do not be afraid! We will take care of you, we will take the responsibility!" he added.

"All right!" Grimm just replied to his teachers.

A loud shout rang out. Filled with applause. Everyone wants to see if the news that Grimm defeated Zeus, a school teacher, is true.

"SILENT!..." Edward said loudly.

Everyone fell silent and looked at the place where the council was.

"We allowed Zeus to fight the young Grimm because he wanted to regain the honor he had lost. Anyway, whoever loses this battle... You just have to accept that loosely. "

"Clear to me..." Zeus said smiling.

"Yes." Grimm's polite language.

Edward Leigh, along with the entire council, is also excited about the upcoming fight. Now, they can prove and see with their eyes the evidence about the story.

"The fight has started!..." Edward announced.

As a result, the whole arena roared due to shouting and applause. Everyone was cheering for Zeus.

"Now, get started, kid!"

Zeus clenched his fists tightly. He still remembers its ability, ice. So he will use fire throughout the battle. He will never repeat his mistake of using water.

"Here it is!"

Zeus began first. He jumped high and made a giant pentagram. From that pentagram came the whirlwind of fiery flames. He directly fired it against his opponent. The fire circled around the young boy and all over his body but he was shocked when he suddenly lost the big whirlwind fire he had made. There was a thick mist all around and he saw his young opponent make an ice shield. It looks like a shield of a knight.

"I taught that!" proud language of Orphen.

He did not stop Grimm until he learned how to make a perfect creation.

"I-Ice...?" startled language of a student watching.

Zeus backed away. He was secretly angry. The coldness of the ice power of his young opponent is really different. And insulting because it still crystallizes the shield it made. Obviously just thin. He rushed forward. This time it was his chains.

Grimm acted quickly. He made a pentagram and also cast chains. He twisted it fast to move away the enemy chains. Zeus and everyone were surprised again. The level of this child... Not ordinary.

"I taught that!" Clemen said.

Zeus was shaken. He again lit a fire in both his hands. He clenched his fists tightly and quickly punched. But Grimm quickly averted the attack. The floor was smashed by its blow and there was thick smoke.

"You son of a shark, Grimm! Don't hold back! Hit that arrogant one! We'll take care of you, show him what you got!" Orphen shouted uncontrollably.

Obviously, their student is holding back. Meanwhile, Grimm sighed. Only with demons does he intend to use the strong percentage of his ability. He was a little surprised when he saw his opponent's approaching punch. He quickly covered his whole body with ice. It punched him several times and he just let go of the opponent. His attacks were not as strong for him because his body was covered in ice. Zeus gasped as he stopped punching.

"What kid? Aren't you going to attack me?!" his language faltered.

"Fine! You want to!"

Grimm punched his opponent in the stomach with a powerful blow. It flew out of the arena and everyone was stunned by what he did.

"Oops! Oh, I can't control the strength of my fist." Grimm frowned.

He had already removed the ice wrapped around his body. He remained focused on the opponent but he could see in the corner of his eye the shocked face of the audience. And his teachers, according to... Obviously very happy.

"You should hit him more!" Orphen shouted.

Zeus quickly jumped back into the arena touching his stomach. He wiped the blood off the side of his lip. His opponent's strength is not normal.

"Y-You young devil!... You will pay me!" he said angrily.

After that, he released a three-pentagram that overlapped. From the pentagram appeared a giant fire dragon shaped like a snake.

"I'll burn you and take you to hell!"

"I've been there and I won't be back." Grimm whispered.

He prepared himself. The dragon snake quickly plunged into him. He dodged and jumped high then he made his ice wings taught by his teacher Orphen. It rained around the thin ice crystal and it shone all around. Everyone was amazed to see Grimm even more and at the same time, his wings fluttered in the air of his long and red hair. The opponent's powerful fire engulfed Grimm but he quickly made a shield. This time, he will really start.

From his left hand, he made an ice sword. His teacher Orphen also taught him that. It was amazing that Clemen looked at Grimm. It has come a long way.

"It fits you, Grimm. You look like an angel fighting in the sky. Nice..." he smiled commenting.

No one can speak to the audience anymore. Grimm has already attacked the fire dragon snake controlled by his opponent. As he was about to run, it set him on fire but he quickly dodged with his wings. When he got close to it he quickly drew his sword to cut off its head. He will turn the fire into ice when his sword lands. But he was startled when several chains suddenly wrapped around his right hand holding a sword. Followed by his left hand and feet. He could not move.

He looked at the perpetrators then and saw a group of exorcists around him. He only knew one there. That is what they call 'Sir Ulrick.'

"You're dead now, kid!" Zeus said.

He devoured his enemy with the serpent-dragon. But Grimm moved quickly, covering his entire body with ice. Right now, that’s all he can do because he can’t move.

Clemen and Orphen acted quickly.

"Speed ! Our student needs help! He is being deceived! Damn it! Shameless bastards!" Clemen said uncontrollably.

"Damn really!" Orphen agreed.

When they got inside the arena they immediately confronted the group that bound Grimm. No one spoke to them anymore. Clemen quickly pulled the chains tied to Grimm's hands. He used lightning to cut them off. He angrily looked at the exorcists there. He followed the chains on Grimm's foot to remove. Orphen faced Ulrick's group.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Wrong-mistake!" Orphen said seriously.

After that, large chunks of ice suddenly fell on them. They managed to escape but then the hailstones rained down followed by Clemen's strong lightning. Opponents thwarted their attacks because they made shield chains.
