章 382: Sparring Before the Tournament

Daedalus' armour caught everyone's attention when he walked in. It was well known that gold-steel was an expensive material that was mostly used to created decorative but protective embellishments for normal steel armours, usually for kings and emperor's. Thus most where surprised to see that Daedalus had a full armour set made out of it.

Daedalus had made this armour a while back. It was by far not his strongest armour and it lacked the flexibility that he usually liked. The reason he decided to go for this armour was both to show off but also to limit his body while he fought his opponents. He didn't look down on them, but his body was getting stronger very quickly and it was a good chance to make his body even stronger.

With his helmet under his arm Daedalus walked to just beside the head of the table. He then sat beside his father while placing his helmet onto the table. This earned him a kick from his father who quietly said "You know it's rude to put your helmet on the table Daedalus."

Daedalus could only roll his eyes like a rebellious teenager as he hung the helmet off the back of his chair. After that Daedalus and his father chatted for a while while eating their food, all the while the rest of the champions where discussing strategies.

Eventually Fire called out to Daedalus saying "Daedalus, what kind of strategies do you have for the tournament?"

The other champions where shocked at how Fire spoke to the royal and strongest champion. Daedalus on the other hand turned and said "Well, I think we should just enjoy the fights. It's not everyday we get to fight such equally matched opponents."

Fire grinned at this and said "I see, I'll do as you say Daedalus."

Turning back to the now dumbfounded champions Fire said "Let's do as da Dali's said, just enjoy the fights, we did plenty of scouting and such before the tournament, we already know plenty. Let's just have fun!"

Although Daedalus wasn't looking over at the group of champions anymore he couldn't help but notice the fiery attitude of Fire. It was the kind of personality that he admired most, honest and excitable.

After that Daedalus finished his food and told the champions to meet him in the garden when they finished their food. This caused a couple of them to scoff their food but fire took his time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

About thirty minutes later Daedalus could see that they where all there and so he began speaking "I want you all to help me with training. First we'll start with one of you, then we'll move on to two or more."

The first to go up was a tall and stocky elf called Aesir. After he stood before Daedalus, Daedalus asked "What's your specialty?"

Aesir explained that he used hand to hand combat for the most part while he had the elements of metal and earth as his main elements. Daedalus nodded and said "Come at me with full strength, I want to see how I fair against a hand to hand combat specialist."
