Chapter 97: Chapter 96 - Tournament(Part 7)

"Alright, my turn at last," I remarked, standing up and stretching a bit, before heading out. 

"Good luck, dude!" Called out Sakura as I left. 

Katie gave me a thumbs up as I glanced back, though it was kinda funny since her face was back to blank, having regained some of her energy. I nodded in reply, as I left the waiting room and headed for the arena.

My opponent arrived as I did, he and I entering the arena and taking our places, the announcer being too loud as always, before the Duel Field barrier activated around us and the countdown began. 

"<Primary Manifestation: Cleaver>, <Secondary Manifestation: Butcher Knife>," Chanted my opponent, manifesting two red XFE weapons in his hands, before turning his gaze to me with a smirk, "Gotta say, kid, mad props on making it this far, but the road ends here for ya!"
