Raffaelo POV. The 1st stage ended without an inch of a problem or at least that's what I thought. I didn't realize he had increased his murderous intent so much to the point it was supposedly unbearable. I didn't need to think too hard to realize why I had such mental strength since compared to the 7 Generals of Hades, his murderous intent was child's play. Of course this is something only I am aware of. When the 1st stage had ended, 12 large doors linking to the 12 podiums suddenly fell open with two guards standing close to each of them. Chun had quickly floated away while we were left to walk back to our quarters. I turned around to leave when some pestering buffoons' decided to bother me. "Hey you !" I could make out the loud, rash voice instantly. I haven't forgotten a single one of them after all. I went through hell because of how strong they were compared to me in my past life. It's too bad they won't get the chance in this lifetime because I'll show them what through torture....or at least that's what I thought but these days....since after mastering my trait till the fullest. The thought of revenge has simply just been an immature phase in my life. ".....are you talking to me ?" I asked, staring him over. "....how...How are you still fine ?" Brett Son Goku asked while the others went their way leaving us to ourselves. Of course I noticed Jane's worried expression but he quickly turned his face away when our eyes met. "....that's just how much difference there is..." "Difference ?" He repeated as I turned around to leave. "...the Difference in our abilities. You are so far from reaching where I am". What I said as a simple statement that day to him just turned out to change a lot of my future plans but it was also the building factor of my future goal. After a few minutes of walking up the narrow stairs leading to the different podiums of each family, I met my father and Gilda who seemed to already be on their way to get me. "..huh ? Why are you down here father ?" "...why Do you ask ? I simply want to check my son's health". "...I'm fine as you can see..." I sighed as a small smile formed from my lips. I always thought it would be impossible to escape the love and attention my parents gave me no matter how strong I become in the future. "The 2nd stage will begin tomorrow....shouldn't you be with the other Family heads to select the battles that should take place ?" Gilda asked my Father. I nodded in agreement. 'Nice one Gilda !' My father chuckled. "Then take him straight to his quarters...I don't want him causing any more problems...I shall take my leave then" he waved at us as he walked towards another entrance of the Colosseum towards their meeting room. I sighed. "Cause trouble huh..." "Yes...it's just as he said. Now come with me" Gilda indicated for me to come with and I nodded. 'In my past life....this event changed the rest of my life....but in this lifetime...I think I know where my destiny is headed at least'. I chuckled quietly but it seems it was for naught since Gilda still turned around with a questioning expression on her face. I shrugged. NORMAL POV. At the other side of the Arena, Mariam walked up wearily assisting her younger brother as their Grand father who is also their Head of the Aquarius family, Paulson Aquarius walked down towards them. "Mariam dear ! Are you alright ?!" He cried out on meeting them. Albert smiled at Jane while Jane sighed. 'Even though mother said I should be most careful about the Techa family...I don't really get what there is about them I need to be careful of' "The rules are simple. Eliminate your opponent either by knocking them out or pushing them to the walls of the Arena. Elimination of your opponent by death is not Looked upon and the participant shall receive immediate execution. You are given a time limit of 30 minutes and if you fail to win your battle in that time span then both of you shall forfeit the battle and your results will be calculated from your battle prowess". He announced as he raised his hand in the air. The crowd went silent in an instant and a refreshing feeling of excitement filled their eyes. Their hearts seemed to have stopped in a single beat in anticipation of what was about to unfold. It wasn't only them that felt it. The general public. The guards, the Family heads and even the king with anticipation to see the battle of the 12 great families. An event where 12 abilities of different concepts are showcased in an elite manner. It wasn't some simple board game or a tournament match. The ecstacy felt here was on a whole different level. Why wouldn't it be ? After all It was now time for the RANKINGS FAMILY BATTLE. Michaelo dropped his hand and the crowd roared in excitement. He disappeared from his position in an instant as the two participants charged towards each other. "I apologize Albert ! But I will have to win this one !" Jane said with a stern expression. "Make me fly ! HERMES !" His eyes suddenly flashed with a golden light and a golden stream of light surged out from each of the corners of his body. The ground suddenly compressed due to the sudden force and with it came a loud supersonic explosion and a crater was formed almost in a second. He propelled himself forward in an instant with his right hand held forward as he grabbed Albert by his neck and slammed him to the ground with greater force causing another crater much larger and deeper than the previous. He dragged him across the ground like dirt and pulled him out when he had almost reached the ending of the Arena and with one swell swoop flung him down to the middle of the Arena causing a much larger crater with a loud supersonic explosion. He panted lightly as the beams of light began to fade away. "I have my own reasons...please forgive me" he muttered under his breath as the crowd cheered wildly. "....what ? Is it over already ?!" Jullian yelled out with an annoyed face. " Come on ! Couldn't the little one put up much more effort ?!" He yelled, slamming his leg on the ground. "....calm yourself my son..." his father said and snapped his finger and Jullian quickly comported himself. '.....the only problem he has.....would be his quick temper...' The King thought with a sigh. He focused his attention on the battle at hand and his right brow raised in confusion together with the surprised tone of the Audience. The dust began to clear up soon enough and Jane was amazed by the sight before him. 'As I thought....just the god Hermes won't be enough for this one' He thought as a chuckle escaped his lips. 'This isn't gonna be an easy battle after all'. "Ow.....hey elder brother, that hurt a lot you know". The childish voice of Albert projected in the stadium gaining their attention as most of them had an absurdly surprised expression written on their face. Before the dust had begun to clear up, they had noticed five shiny beams of blue light coming from different angles but on the dust clearing, they had noticed one beam coming from his right eye and four others from his right arm that now looked robotic with four holes shiny brightly and five more holes closed up. "I'm glad we're both fighting with the intent to win...cause how else would I be able to win if you don't fight seriously ?" Albert said with a chill tone in his voice sending a shiver down Jane's spine. "Hope you're ready for round 2....cause it won't be the same as round 1"
