Amon, The Legendary Overlord-Novel

The City Mayor did his best to remain calm. However, seeing that the representatives of the respective Universities were waiting for the tournament to start, he wasted no time.

"*Cough* We will officially kick off the tournament finals." The mayor said, "I know that many of you are excited about the presence of these new illustrious people, but think about how to win now, or you will bitterly regret it later."

The place was silent.

In fact, if they missed this chance, it would be blasphemous to say they won't regret it for the rest of their lives.

The mayor continued by pointing to the highest mountain on the island, "On that mountain, there are a total of ten chairs. Those who arrive first will have the right to sit down and be challenged by the people who have won challengers' chips, thus gaining the chance to challenge those sitting in the chairs."

It wasn't a difficult explanation to understand since everyone there was geniuses, but even if he didn't say all that, just saying that there were ten chairs made them guess what would happen.

"I'll count to three." Said the mayor, "When I'm done, you all should reach the chairs as quickly as possible... one, two, three, go!"

When they heard him say go, wasting no time, the participants jumped into the sea.

Amon used the lightning to run, and he was running so fast he looked like a yellow streak.

Ariel floated to dry land before starting to run fast too.

Maisa and Julia had a great affinity for water, so they were practically dolphins in the sea and arrived faster on dry land than most of the participants, while Barbara used the blue flames to boost herself and 'skate' in the sea.

Her idea was a good one, others with fire genes tried to do the same, but their flames weren't as good as Barbara's.

"Curious..." Old Hazael muttered with interest as he saw Barbara's flames.

Not only him, Malvina, and Karl seem surprised to see her flames.

Jardel clenched his hands into fists, 'Bastards!' He cursed in his mind.

Most might not understand the meaning of Barbara's flames, but they had the knowledge and knew that it wasn't simply flames of a different color. Instead, it was something even more special than ice genes.

Speaking of ice, a girl with a cold expression created an ice platform and slid to dry land. Unfortunately, those who wanted to take advantage of it got their feet frozen in the ice and couldn't move so they were forced to break the ice.

After seeing a few people fail, the rest gave up on the idea of ​​using the girl's ice to get ashore.

Little by little, the participants got out of the water and ran as fast as they could towards the highest mountain on the island.

Even on dry land, Barbara continued to use the flames to help her run faster. However, there was only one problem... She wasn't used to running so fast, with so many obstacles, as there were rocks, branches, trees, some animals, among other things along the way.

She had to be on high alert, even dodging attacks from other participants.

Not far behind her was Ariel who ran with light steps since she was using her genes to make herself lighter.

Usually, those with water genes didn't have much chance of surpassing those with genes that help speed up, but the twins weren't normal. Using their genes, they went into battle mode in feline form, and it made them run using their hands too, thus running much faster, even faster than some that had wind genes.

"What is that?" Some who were unaware of the battle mode were surprised to see this.

Barbara, seeing the twins approaching, thought; 'Should I do the same?'

But then she shook her head in denial. She didn't want to reveal all her strengths. And there was no need, mainly because she noticed she was running in the top ten. In the lead was Amon, and only one other boy was right behind Amon, using wind genes.

"I caught up with you~" Ariel smiled playfully. She wasn't giving it her all. She even felt she could come second if she tried a little harder, but like Barbara, she wanted to save some trump cards and conserve energy.

Not far away, the twins approached Ariel and Barbara. They were like natural cats with a blue aura around them, jumping and running very fast.

In the distance, Amon had already started to climb the mountain. He was so fast, he left the other participants with their jaws dropped, and now they understood better why he had come first in the earlier round, with that kind of speed, how could he not be strong?

Not only that, lightning is one of the genes with the most attacking power, so he had speed and strength. It was a scary combination. Besides, they didn't even know if Amon was doing his best.

Eduardo Luiz Saverin was the boy who spoke to Amon before, and now he was in second, almost 1 kilometer ahead of Ariel and Barbara.

'Hehe, it's worth competing with someone like you.' Eduardo had a smile as he looked at Amon who was running faster than he was. Soon, he was surrounded by wind, and then he went into battle mode.

"O-Ostrich?!" Ariel almost tripped.

"Hahahahaha!" Her giggle echoed. She couldn't resist, it was very strange to see Eduardo's battle mode, considering it was an ostrich.

Barbara laughed, too, and couldn't contain her laughter either. It was hilarious the way the participant in front of her had an ostrich-like battle mode.

"Very fast!" Those were the second thoughts she had.

Honestly, it was ridiculously funny the way he looked, but when he started running, it was like he had several legs.

Amon saw Eduardo almost catching up with him. A small smile formed on his face, then he increased his speed.

'I knew it!' Eduardo, who saw this, smiled strangely, then his eyes blinked, and he ran even faster as he dodged the natural obstacles.

Soon, Amon and Eduardo started competing in earnest.

They looked like two jets, one yellow and one white.

While one looked like lightning going in a straight line, the other looked like a very fast-moving cloud heading towards the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, Eduardo stumbled, and with fast speed, he went into the air, but then, he spun in the air and balanced himself. Then, with the impulse he got from stepping on the branch of a tree, he launched like a spring, then shot to the front like a white cloud.

Amon saw this and somewhat admired Eduardo upon seeing it.

Another thing he noticed was a flatter part where the floor became more slippery, and Amon realized that there was ice on the floor.

'Double genes.' This surprised him a little.

When he was 5 meters away from Amon, Eduardo said with glee in his voice, "You're better than I expected. Honestly, I didn't think I'd find someone as fun as you in this tournament. I hope you can entertain me even more."

Soon, he increased the speed by creating ice on his feet and it looked like a shoe of ice.

Because of the ice that stuck to the ground when he stepped on it, he could use a lot more force on his foot than usual. It was like his foot didn't sink no matter how hard he pushed, and this happened because the ground below his foot was frozen and hardened.

When he stepped hard, he practically flew, yes, he flew meters away, until he stepped on the ground with his other foot and repeated the process. It was at this moment that he passed Amon for the first time.

Julia and Maisa, who reached Barbara and Ariel, saw this and were amazed.

"Interesting…" Ariel had a playful smile as she looked at it with interest.

Barbara may not be very competitive, but seeing Eduardo pass Amon, she felt like fighting him.

"Isn't this boy the one who ranked eighth before?" Julia commented.

"Yes." Ariel smiled grimly, "Looks like he didn't do his best before."

"He's also the same one who talked to Amon earlier, remember?" Maisa looked at Julia.

It was a little difficult to see, as Eduardo was running very fast, but hearing this, Julia looked at it carefully, then she nodded, "Now that you say it, yes, it's him."

"Amon has entered battle mode!" Barbara said suddenly.
