Chapter 61: The competition begins!
At the same time Scar was having his meeting, Alex also met with his tribe.
"So, who's going to be chosen for the first match?" Alex said.
Looking at him, everyone had the same question in their heads.
Aren't you the one who should decide that?
"Chief, I think everyone is waiting for you to decide," Martins asked.
Waiting for Alex's response, everyone became a bit anxious.
"I understand. Well, then the one who will go for the first match will be you... Aurélio," Alex said.
What!? Everyone thought at the same time, even Aurélio himself. Sending the youngest and one of the weakest for such an important competition? Has the chief gone mad?
"Are you sure about this? Even if I want to go, I know I'm not the strongest in the team," Aurélio said, even though he was more immature than the others, he knew he wouldn't win against a very strong enemy.
"Don't worry, I know you can do it. Besides, I have a plan!" Alex said, trying to reassure everyone, especially Aurélio.
"Well, now that the first match has been decided, we need to choose the representatives for the second match," Martins said.
"As for that, I volunteer," Max said.
"Me too," Jason said.
"Count me in as well," Milie said.
Jason and Milie, they are always with Max, they are good in combat and have excellent teamwork.
"Uhmm, alright, then the participants for the second match will be Max, Jason, Milie, Luke, Helio, and Dilan," Alex said.
The six of them are basically their own team, they usually do everything together, so their teamwork will be greater than the others.
With this, I can focus on the strategy to win at least one of the two events, but I still think things are moving too fast, something still doesn't make sense in all of this, giving something like that to a stranger doesn't seem rational, I better come up with a plan, just in case something happens.
"Now, I want to talk only with Martins and Aurélio, the rest can leave," Alex said.
After only Aurélio and Martins remained, I could start explaining my plans for the competition, "My plans for Aurélio are to use his advantage in being young, probably his opponent will be much stronger than you physically, but this can be used to our advantage," Alex said.
"Chief, how can using someone stronger than me be something favorable for us? Do you not expect me to lose, to lower their guard, is that it? If so, I would like to refuse," Aurélio said.
"If that's the chief's plan, just do it, it may be something you don't like, but you have to do everything the chief commands, got it Aurélio!" Martins said.
"Alright, Mr. Martins, chief, if you want me to lose, can I at least try really hard before losing?" Aurélio said.
"And who said you're going to lose? My plan is to win all the matches in the competition!" Alex said.
Hearing what Alex planned, both Martins and Aurélio were amazed, although they knew Alex was extraordinary, they thought it was impossible to win all the matches, especially the first one, since not even Aurélio believed he would win against his opponent, they believed they had more chances in the group match and in Alex's fight against Scar.
"No need to be so surprised, I know it may be hard to believe, but I can say that if you follow my plan, we will win all three matches," Alex said confidently.
Even though Alex said with so much confidence that they would win all three matches, it was still very difficult to believe in that, since they didn't even know who their opponents were going to be.
"But if you're so sure we'll win, even without knowing who our opponents will be, why didn't you choose someone else, like Mr. Martins, for example?" Aurelio said.
"I was going to ask that too, what should I do in this competition, chief, should I participate with Max?" Martins said.
"As for Aurelio's question, the reason was that you have a better chance of learning what I'm going to teach you, and as for Martins' question, well, you won't participate in this competition," Alex said.
"What? Why? I know I may be older than the others, but I can still fight!" Martins said.
"I know that, out of our whole tribe, only I, Joe, and Marcos stand a chance against you, but the reason for this is that you don't need to do anything," Alex said.
"I see, if that's what you want, I can only obey," Martins said.
Putting his hand on Martins' shoulder, Alex said, "There's no need to feel down about it, besides, after this competition, I feel like you'll have plenty of work."
"Well, now, Aurelio, let's start your training," Alex said.
"Wait, what do I do now?" Martins said.
"Ah, I almost forgot, you'll help me with Aurelio's training," Alex said.
"I understand, Aurelio, get ready, I won't go easy on you," Martins said.
"I'm ready for anything!" Aurelio said.
Aurelio's training inside the tent took a few hours. When he came out being carried by Martins, both he and Martins were bruised all over.
"It's already night, if he uses everything we taught him, he might win his match," Alex said.
"What do you call what you taught him?"
"The name? Uhmm, I haven't given it a name yet. When I have a name, I'll let you know."
"Alright, have a good night, chief."
"Uhmm, good night, Martins, tomorrow will be a long day."
At dawn, everyone began to gather in the center of Scar's tribe camp. All the nominees, the elders, and obviously Scar himself were waiting for Alex and the others to arrive.
Scar was sitting on a wooden throne, next to him was another one for Alex. Preparations were made for something like a arena, where the first match would take place.
After some time, Alex finally arrived with his tribe.
"Well, well, I see you've made great preparations for my idea," Alex said.
"Well, all this could have been avoided, but now you know that I can really have your tribe, right? Are you prepared in case you lose?" Scar said.
"Well, the idea was mine, I believe every bet has a risk, and if I win, no one will be able to say anything," Alex replied.
Noticing the new faces present, Alex focused his attention on one in particular.
"Who would have thought I could see an albino here? Are these the nominees you talked about? They seem impressive indeed."
"No, when he was born, I was also impressed, I think it has something to do with my different genetics."
"What? How would your genetics have anything to do with albinism? Don't tell me that..." Alex said.
"That's right, he's my son!"
Son? Wait, so he... what the hell is this!!!
Such a revelation changed the way he saw Scar. Who would have thought that a human who reincarnated as an Australopithecus could reproduce? Furthermore, he seemed too healthy to be an albino.
"I guess you've fully adapted to this world," Alex said.
"I know it may seem strange, but you get used to it, especially when you, live as long as I have, as a... what did you say? Australopithecus, anyway, let the competition begin!" Scar said.
