Hundreds of people gathered inside the arena, as the sound of countless people talking and cheering all around made it quite deafening, we really had to talk very loudly to be heard, which only made it harder and more annoying. But that's how places like these get sometimes. The fighters that were going to participate were not present as they were told to wait in a special area, but I'll be able to watch the fights sitting with my family because I'll be using a shadow clone to go in the fights. Not like I'll be fighting myself, right? And if something happens, I'll jump from here to resolve it anyways.
First of all, there were some rules, items were not allowed, of any kind, and a person could only use up to three different monster pets, but if two were defeated, they lost, this is to not make it so hard for those that don't bring three monster pets, such as Arthurious, Miriam, and many other participants who are just fond with one monster, it is not rare for people to make a deep bond with only one monster pet, but the most efficient way is using various of them, usually the limit that a person can create bonds with a monster pet is 6 at the same time.
Apparently it is something related to the soul of a person, each monster pet bond fills a space of the soul, some people can hold a lot of monster pet bonds in their souls, but some others cannot, they got limits, so it is a bit unfair sometimes, but the minimum limit is often 2 or 3, and they decided to leave it at 3.
So for this fight I decided to bring Ruby, Zhulong, and Ginseng, my first three monsters that I had tamed in the beginning, I suppose they can be the ones that'll help me the most in these fights, but mostly I choose them because they're the best at holding back, if they go all out they might kill the enemy monster, which can disqualify you, so I cannot let them kill. If I bring the little Onyx, he'll most likely kill because he's very bad at holding back, despite having a growth spur he's the youngest dragon I have I believe, and he's very immature compared to Vritra.
But that's how things are, I will leave him guarding everybody else, he's good at melding with shadows and doing just that. Alongside him, the Undead also will be doing some watching service, Zero and her troops, and also Nezhit, the two of them will be guarding my family and watching everything from the back.
I am a bit too overly prepared for anything? Well yeah, a bit too much, but you're never too prepared… I quickly decided to move out with Miriam, Arthurious, Gwendolyn, and Axitl towards the quarters where every monster pet trainer is left, and when I far from my group sitting in the seats, I quickly walk out of the shadows of Orb while wearing a hoodie to cover my face, alongside using illusion magic to hide my presence from the public so they don't go and say "Wait, how can you be there and here?!" or something.
"I am quite excited! I wonder if my little monster pet will do good…" Said Axitl. "It evolved recently but he's not as mighty as Aztraloth…"
"I am pretty sure it will do a good fight, if you bring Aztraloth too, tell him to go very easy on the combatants…" I sighed.
"O-Oh, right… I will try." Said Axitl.
"Let's make sure to make a good show for our kids." Said Gwendolyn.
"Yeah! Styx will be watching her mama use her monster pet so I cannot disappoint her, fufu." Giggled Axitl adorably.
"I-I am a bit nervous, I wonder if everything is going to be alright…" Sighed Arthurious.
The boy had been training diligently with his Blackie, and the goat had undergone evolution recently, becoming bigger and mightier, and gaining a bunch of new abilities as well. I had overfeed the goat with boosting items while he was recovering, so now that he could finally train and grow stronger, his growth boost was insane.
But Arthurious was still nervous about it, thinking that something bad might happen to him and he was scared about the concept of losing and being a big loser. He really didn't wanted to lose at all… But he was insecure and nervous, it was hard to cheer him up, especially because he grew with barely any fraternal support, his father is often not even there for him, and his mother is not the best there is, she doesn't even tell him anything other than "hello" and "goodnight"…
"Well, I don't know to be honest, but let's do our best together, okay?" Asked Miriam, as Arthurious saw her cheerful and innocent smile, as he felt a bit better. He nodded shyly for a bit, as he seemed rather happy to have been cheered by the cute Miriam.
"Yeah… I-I guess…" He sighed. "I have to do it! Blackie evolved and he became big and strong… I cannot disappoint him and end up chickening out so much after all…" Said Arthurious, getting fired up rather quickly by just a few words form Miriam, I am pretty sure he likes her.
"Yeah! That's the freaking spirit!" I said, petting Arthurious. "Remember that losing is also okay… Alright? It is a normal part of competitions, but! That doesn't mean you'll just give up, try as much as you can before even considering losing, so you don't have any regrets."
"Alright… Thank you, Sir Frank, you've helped me and Blackie so much since the first time I meet you in the monster pet nursery…" He said. "It feels like you really… changed my life."
"Hahah, come on kid, you're going to make me embarrassed, just let's get to it." I laughed a bit, petting his head.
