Not only was Jason sure that tomorrow would be his last fight against Greg, but his gut feeling told him that the next day would be extremely important for his future.

One wrong step might lead to him having a devastating future, while several other steps could lead to a bright future.

It was an extremely weird feeling inside him, but there was not really anything he could do to prevent the next day, without suppressing his own desires.

Shane told him to go all out if he wanted to and he might as well do so once it was necessary.

Seron looked at Jason somewhat disappointed and he wanted to ask him if he really had to attend the tournament the next day or why it was even so important.

However, after staring into his friend's determined eyes, Seron knew that asking him that was completely useless.

Sighing deeply, he just said with a hanging shoulder and a sad expression covering his previous impatient and overjoyed mood. 

"Let's meet tomorrow once your two fights are over, okay?" 

Jason only nodded his head and he noticed Seron's frustration which he could also understand, as he smiled lightly.

As such, he lead Seron, who didn't want to bother him anymore, out of the house after they finished their short discussion.

Sighing once again, Seron looked at him with a pitiful gaze, as he turned around only to say

"See you tomorrow…"

Stepping out of the house, the Fler's noticed Seron's sour mood, which was entirely different from his previous demeanor and made them curious what exactly happened between Jason and his friend.

However, they didn't want to infiltrate their private business and only gazed intently at Jason who was uncomfortable, as he just explained.

"Seron wanted my help with something, but I had to postpone his request because of the tournament tomorrow. Maybe I would have accepted it if Greg and I wouldn't be fighting against each other tomorrow, but it's probably the last time we're able to fight against each other for a long time, so I don't want to miss out on that!"

Malia and Greg's mood immediately plummeted with Jason's last sentence, even if they were already aware of the fact Jason said. 

Everyone felt that tomorrow or at most the day after their ways would separate and they could understand why Jason decided against helping his friend right now, even if he might be displeased about Jason's decision.

"I'll still help him, but only after I fight Greg and it might take some time until I'm back. Probably either at night or the next day in the morning...probably"

Hearing this, Malia's lips twitched as she hesitantly asked "So It could also be that you're completely gone after you and Greg fought against each other because your master tells you to depart once you helped Seron?!?"

Pondering for a moment, he nodded his head "It's possible, yeah" 

Sighing deeply, Gabriella stood up and announced

"Let's have some fun for the next few hours! Sleep is something for the weak!"

Hearing this, Greg immediately jumped overjoyed, shouting "Yes, let's do that!!", while Malia rubbed her wet eyes with a faint "hmm"

Jason and Mark also nodded their head and the five of them spent the whole night talking, playing, and having fun until it was time for them to drive towards the arena for the next two tournament rounds.

It was Thursday and the Big-Three tournament was slowly approaching the final with the Top 50 and Top 25 round being held.

Both Jason and Greg were still fit even though they didn't sleep, while Jason's mana was over quilling with energy because he passively gathered mana in addition to his sub-area which did the same.

Smiling brightly, he felt full of power and ready to fight against his opponent in the Top 50 and afterward Greg, which he already anticipated.

In the end, Jason didn't even think about his first opponent because he felt confident in defeating everyone with his current strength except Greg if he were to exclude his fortified soul conjunction.

Astrix's young elite was already powerful and it would have been a lie if Jason said that he looked down on them.

However, it was still a fact that his current combat prowess was incomparable to several months ago, where he was not even able to attend a normal high school.

Thinking about this, he smiled lightly as he and the Fler's sat down on their seats, waiting for the two youth's turn to fight against their first opponent.

Only half an hour after the tournament's Top 50 round began it was Greg's turn, and he entered the arena filled with confidence, staring at his opponent, who had a bulky physique, telling Greg that his opponent might also have a physical soul, as he had.

Jason's mana eyes confirmed Greg's thought, which he however didn't knew because he already stood in the arena.

'He doesn't have transmuted but is almost at the 3rd Expert rank with his soul's amplification...So his physique should be at the 4th Expert rank or even higher..'

Concluding the facts, Jason couldn't help but smile slightly as he already roughly figured out what exactly his friend wanted to do.

As such, he simply waited and anticipated the fight that started in front of him.

Without further ado, Greg and his opponent charged at each other with mana circulating in their body.

Their velocity was already fast enough to be on par with low evolved beasts and Jason was sure that they might even be able to fight against weaker evolved beasts with their body alone which was not bad at their age.

However, while charging at his opponent, Greg's body turned red as his physique inflated, releasing hot steam as he appeared before the shocked bulky youth, that didn't expect the change in his opponent to be so devastating.

Not only did his body inflate, but he also released the desire to defeat his opponent on an extremely advanced level, which made it almost comparable to bloodlust.

Jason's eyes also widened when he noticed this, and he could only see Greg punching his petrified opponent's abdomen which caused him to be flung away several dozen meters, where he landed on the ground, crying out in pain.

Gulping down his saliva, Jason looked at Greg before he averted his gaze to the youth that laid on the ground with disrupted and chaotic mana fluctuations radiation from him.

'Maybe this will be even more difficult than I estimated…' Jason suddenly thought, estimating his friend's physique to be comparable to an average 7th Expert rank when he activated his physique.

Blinking several times, he couldn't help but feel astonished because even with his fortified soul conjunction, Jason was sure that his body could only handle a physique at the 6th Expert rank, even if Scorpio might be able to increase his strength further.

If he wanted to fight his friend head-on with his physique, he would have to go beyond his current limit and injure himself to a certain degree, which was not really what he wanted to do.

As such, Jason concluded that not only might he be forced to let one of his soulbonds enter his mana core to increase his strength, but that he would also be forced to reveal all three affinities with their most powerful attacks.

However, instead of feeling down, hearing that his friend became extremely strong was something Jason felt happy about.

Without being able to go all out, he was forced to either hold back and defeat his opponents or flee from stronger opponents if he couldn't defeat them even after using everything he had.

As if that was not enough, Greg's eyes looked crystal clear which meant that he was able to fully control his body instead of his instincts.

This fact was one the most important for Jason to conclude that his fight against Greg would be amazing, pushing the two youths' adrenaline to the top.

While the medic team rushed towards the youth laying on the ground, writhing in pain, Greg extinguished his berserk ability because he was only able to use it for a bunch of minutes each day, as he sat down next to Jason, as if nothing special happened at all.

The two youths were extremely nonchalant right now and didn't even talk about Greg's fight and one could only feel their dense fighting spirit being released, indicating their desire to fight, which caused Malia, Gabriella, and Mark's eyes to widen slightly.

They worried about the two youths' well-being if they were to go all out, however, instead of holding them back, they supported their decision because it was the last fight they would have together and it would have to be a magnificent fight for the two to be able to separate without feeling bad.
