Chapitre 32: Entries for the tournament
[-In the Social Welfare & Registry Department Building-]
*** Minutes before Hawks and the others found Rankuza in the restroom ***
Shams planned everything before arriving in the capital city,
[1] Stealing Rankuza's identity tag.
[2] Creating a diversion scheme to delay the others in finding out about what happened with Rankuza and making it too late to realize that he stole Rankuza's identity tag.
[3] To stand-in as Rankuza all throughout the tournament.
Since the tournament was only limited to three divisions which Shams was not qualified to participate at all.
Knowing he would cause a lot of trouble, he still pursued his scheme and did not care about the consequences of his own actions.
He was sure that once he was registered, his fellow disciples would not dare to divulge it because everyone may get disqualified for his action.
Confidence was painted all over Shams and he was oozing with excitement.
{-Second Floor-}
As he approached and handed over supposedly Rankuza's identity tag,
"Rankuza, from the school of Master Wushu?" said the receptionist.
Trying to confirm regarding the inscribed identity tag which Shams handed over.
"Yes, I am!" no trace of any nervousness nor doubt.
Immediately they believed and were convinced about the declaration of Shams.
Then a staff member from the organizing committee assisted Shams for the evaluation.
When Shams stood in front of the gigantic boulder, he prepared himself and asked Viper if he was ready for them to go all out.
< Sss … You can use one of your skills available. Acid Touch can melt that boulder. If you release your combined ki from mine. One of the skills which you can access now is Acid Touch. I recommend that to completely destroy the gigantic boulder in front of you. Sss …> Viper advised Shams his best move.
For a moment, Shams started to gather his ki which was required in doing the skill. And as soon as he felt that it was ready.
He moved forward, intending to touch the gigantic boulder.
Everyone spectating Shams waited in high anticipation due to being one of the disciples of Master Wushu.
Expectations were high for Shams.
The moment they saw Shams touched the gigantic boulder.
At first, nothing happened.
Spectators and even the staff became a bit disappointed because they had high expectations with the performance of Shams.
A few seconds after their whispers and disappointing remarks …
The palm of Shams glowed.
And the gigantic boulder started to melt into dust.
Wind blew the dust away.
Making the inside of the circle clean as if nothing was placed inside.
All spectators, including the staff members and evaluator of the organizing committee, were astonished and jaw-dropping reactions echoed around the second floor.
'Unbelievable!'
'Record-breaking!'
'Woaaaah!!!!'
'Looks like another monster disciple of Master Wushu!'
'This is the first time someone melted the entire boulder into dust!'
Few of the statements reverberating around the second floor after witnessing the performance of Shams.
"R-rankuza is it?" the evaluator stuttered in confirming Shams' supposed identity.
"Yes, I am Rankuza!" Shams confidently lied.
The evaluator handed over Shams his evaluation result before completing his registration process.
Moments after registering and looking satisfied at the result of his evaluation, Hawks and the others appeared.
... Fast approaching and looking upset with him.
Maya was just behind Hawks looking worried about the tension caused by the actions of Shams.
"Ryoku!!!!" Hawks loudly calling Shams.
"Excuse me? I am Rankuza!" Shams was being consistent with his pretense due to the people around them observing.
Hawks grabbed Shams by the collar, intending to punch their youngest fellow disciple.
But Maya grabbed Hawks' elbow, preventing him from hurting Shams.
"Hawks! People are watching! Please, calm down!" Maya attempting to mediate the situation between Shams and Hawks.
A satisfied grin could be seen from Shams' facial expression.
Silently Shams replied, only Hawks and Maya could hear.
"Do you want them to know what I did? It will disqualify us all. So, be careful with your words. If you truly want to participate in this tournament, you better be careful with your words and actions." Blatantly pointed out by Shams.
This was something which Shams knew. Regarding the desire and the enthusiasm of his fellow disciples to participate in the tournament, he expected already that his fellow disciples will not reveal nor divulge to the authorities about his actions.
It was a high risk that Shams expected to be in favor for him.
There were anger and frustration all over Hawks but he had to restrain himself or else their entry for the tournament will be at risk.
His hands were shaking in anger while grabbing on the collar of Shams.
Once he let go of it, Maya caught Shams because he was lifted up by Hawks from the ground from his intense anger towards him.
Those who were watching from a distance tried to discern what was going on.
Before they could even approach Hawks due to the commotion, Hawks released Shams.
A clear fuming on Hawks face but he was restraining himself from doing something stupid.
"You better explain this to Master Wushu! Once he finds out, it will be you facing his wrath and not us. Remember this … This is your mess and you clean it by yourself!" Hawks reprimanding words to Shams.
"But Hawks …" Maya could not even finish her words and she saw the intimidating anger of Hawks through his eyes.
"Let him be responsible and accountable for it! He has taken advantage of our endearment and fondness to him. I will make sure this time around, no one from us will defend you to our master." Further explained by Hawks.
Suddenly Shams felt the sting of the words of Hawks.
He forgot to include the possibility of the wrath of Master Wushu towards him.
Because he just assumed that Master Wushu will forgive him easily.
Not preparing for the possibility that their master may actually punish him with such wrath.
All this time, he was pampered and spoiled due to being the youngest and being endeared a lot.
Only silence from Shams as he contemplate on the words of Hawks.
He lowered his gaze while contemplating.
…
While the tension was building up between Hawks and Shams,
The head staff member assigned in the {-First Floor-} announced,
"Registration is over! Entries for the tournament in Junior Division will be posted tomorrow morning. Preliminaries will begin tomorrow morning as well including the match ups and mechanics for the preliminaries …" The head staff member announced to everyone.
Out of a sudden Master Wushu appeared behind Hawks.
"Is there any problem here? Why all of you looking tensed?" Master Wushu asked his young disciples.
No one dared to answer immediately and looked one another to who will explain to Master Wushu.
