Miles looked at the three people standing on the stage. One woman and two men were raising their hands and saluting the audience.

Miles looked at them, noticing they weren’t much older than him. It was understandable. After all, they were champions of the G-Circle, which was the easiest circle to advance. Generally, it would only take two to three years for a person to level up to Form-Rank. For a capable person, it might even be shorter.

Each superpower had a different way of advancing, but it was mostly about increasing its usage and duration. Only the most unique form of elemental superpowers had different requirements. Thus, people like Quinn despite having strong superpowers, had to comprehend the core of their elemental abilities, before they could advance to Form-Rank.

The woman on stage had white skin, blue eyes, and was blonde. Her blue eyes were icy, and her stare was cold. She was the runner-up in the last contest, Irina Strankov.

“She has the cold element, can decrease the temperature and create ice. Unfortunately she is not an ice element user, so her control over ice is low, but still she is very strong.” Carl introduced the lady to Miles.

The next was a dark-skinned man. His eyes were dark, and his hair was curly brown. He had a robust body and a curved sword at his waist. His name was Hassan Mus, also the champion of the Grace-Rank.

“That guy has an Earth Body. Anything related to earth elements can increase his strength, speed and defence when he is in contact with it. On the ground, he is so strong.” Carl chimed in once again, introducing the swarthy man.

The last person on the stage was a lazy looking man. His slanting eyes looked around lazily and had the face of someone forced to do something troublesome. He was taller than all the others, and his long black hair was reaching his waist. He was wearing a business suit, with a red tie, unlike others on the stage. His name was Suchiru Kai. He was the third ranker of the G-Circle Graders Competition.

“Suchiru Kai was third last time because he was too lazy to continue after he guaranteed his place in the top three as his family ordered. He has the steel element superpower. He can create steel and bend it as he wills. He is also a bow master.” Carl looked at Kai with stars in his eyes.

“Welcome to the Hero Crimson Arena!” Hassan Mus spoke to everyone with a smile as he stood in between the three.

“We are honored to be in your presence today, and will request for you to evaluate our little talents, while we showcase them. Thanks!” Then he slightly bowed towards the audience with Irina, but Kai was still looking around lazily. Hassan pressed his back with his arm and pushed him to the ground. Kai bowed a little and rose back with an irritated face.

“And now, we will start the battle royale, with three of us fighting each other, and the last woman or man standing will be the winner.” Hassan Mus said and took a corner. Irina also moved a corner, while Kai traipsed to his corner.

After three bells, the three of them got serious, at the same time, and a strange force appeared on the stage.

Miles looked at Kai and noticed his lazy eyes were nowhere to be seen. He was looking around keenly, and now holding a bow Miles didn’t know where he pulled out.

Hassan’s shoes on the ground started to get grey, and the color moved his legs. He was wearing a metal glove now.

Irina, on the other hand, was standing gracefully. Miles could see the light was getting broken around her. He was far away from the stage, but he could almost feel the cold.

The three of them moved at the same time.

Hassan was a close-range fighter. He dashed to the Kai with a strong spring.

Irina was the bane of close-range fighters because of her cold powers. Thus, Hassan wanted to approach Kai in the meantime while she was still out of the picture.

On the other hand, Kai jumped back to open a distance and created a platform in the air. When he landed on it, he jumped into the air and flipped over Hasan. While he was in the air, he opened his arm to break his speed and pulled a string of the bow without nocking an arrow. But when he pulled it, a steel arrow appeared on the bow. Kai then released the string, aiming at the enemy.

The arrow moved faster than the eye could see, and before long, it was in front of Hassan.

Hassan just crossed his two arms, and the arrow hit his wrist, protected by the metal gloves. By this time, the grey color had already reached his arms.

Irina took the chance while Kai was in the air and sent a column of cold air in his direction. If he was hit, Kai would take heavy damage, but in the next second, a plate of steel appeared under his feet, allowing him to jump once again. It has been almost 3 seconds since the fight started, but Kai never landed on the ground.

While Kai and Irina were fighting each other, Hassan approached the lady in the trio and swung his fist to her stomach. Grey metal gloves moved like shooting stars in the night and would collide with its target, but to everyone’s surprise, the fist went through the woman.

The audience exclaimed with surprise when they saw the fist passing through the body of the woman, but then later, they were more dumbfounded when Irina appeared behind Hassan.

“Breaking the light by changing the temperature to create mirage. Requires many calculations. Great ability.” Miles nodded his head and didn’t hold back his praises.

Irina didn’t let Hassan’s mistake go unpunished and attacked the back of his right arm with her delicate arm. The grey on his arm got white, and his arm fell to his side.

Hassan swung his left arm to his back, but Irina ran back after she attacked, so Hassan’s arm hit nothing.

While the two were busy, Kai landed on the ground, and orbs in different colors appeared in front of him. With the speed of light, he grabbed the orbs one by one and brought them to his bow. While in motion from air to bow, the orbs changed into arrows, and with swift motions, Kai fired them.

Five colors of the arrows showed their meanings when they arrived at their targets. Two of them moved to Hassan Mus, while three were flying to retreating Irina. One of the arrows expanded and exploded with flames, disturbing the temperature of the stage. When the temperature rose, the mirage got broken, and a real arena appeared. The second arrow moved the real Irina, and she hardly dodged it, but while Irina was looking at the last one, the one she dodged, returned to Kai’s side, injuring Irina’s side. It was a Psychic Arrow.

The two moved to Hassan were also effective. The one fired first created smelly yellow gas. And the one following it was crimson red. Hassan’s face got black, and he shouted. When he shouted, the grey on his body got stronger and shined. When the crimson arrow arrived at him, it exploded with the yellow gas around him.

There was black smoke around Hassan, and Irina was on the ground. The side of her waist was dropping blood.

The audience looked at the spectacular scene with their mouths agape.

‘Is this the weakest of the trio?’ They thought.

However, the fight wasn't over yet.
