บท 6: Ceremony Start

Flying over the village at night I notice that people are heading towards the forest when I see my mother calling me so as usual, I go down towards her.

"You took longer than I imagined where you've been all this time the ceremony is about to begin" she said quickly as we started following the herd into the forest.

Arriving in a gigantic open field full of Saiyans, some were sitting and others remained standing.

Then suddenly an energy attack rises to its purple color drawing everyone's attention to a single individual.

This Saiyan was none other than Borgos who was standing next to a stone table.

"Without further delay, I DECLARE THE BEGINNING OF THE CEREMONY, TODAY WE WILL WITNESS THE RISE OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF WARRIORS WHO WILL SHOW OUR ENEMIES THE TASTE OF THEIR BLOOD" says Borgos, speaking loudly enough to catch the attention of all the Saiyans who They fell silent to hear the announcement.

"AS YOU ALL KNOW WE WILL HAVE 3 STEPS IN OUR CEREMONY, THE FIRST BEING A TOURNAMENT BETWEEN OUR WARRIORS TO DECIDE WHO IS THE STRONGEST OF THEIR GENERATION, THE SECOND STAGE OF THE CEREMONY WE WILL MAKE OUR WARRIORS AWAKEN HIS INNER APE WHICH CONTROLS YOU WITH MORE SPEED WILL BE THE WINNER THOSE WHO DO NOT KEEP CONTROL WILL HAVE THEIR TAGS CUT OFF AND THUS DEPRIVED OF THEIR INNER POWER, THE THIRD STAGE WILL BE A FOOD COMPETITION IT SERVES TO SUPPLY THE ENERGY OF OUR WARRIORS AND STRENGTHEN OUR FIGHTING SPIRIT" says Borgos again.

'This explains why some Saiyans don't have tails, I thought they were hiding them when they had failed the second stage of the ceremony' I ponder this new information.

"WITH THE CEREMONY NOW COMPLETED, WE WILL BEGIN THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN THE LIFE OF EVERY SAIYAJIN IN THIS VILLAGE! THAT'S RIGHT THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR WARRIORS WHO HAVE PROVEN TO BE THE ELITE FORCE OF THE VILLAGE!" he says, waving each of the participants closer and signaling for other warriors to control the crowd away from the "battlefield".

Approaching quickly and looking at my opponents I noticed that some were looking at me with disdain as if I didn't deserve to be present at the ceremony.

"Look here little boys like you shouldn't be participating in this adult tournament, even if you are talented you don't have enough combat experience each of us can crush you easily" says a big muscular Saiyan (BodyBuilder) who approaches me Staring right behind him I could see some laughing

"Leave the boy! He deserves to be participating the Elder himself has confirmed the extent of his strength, would you question the Elder himself?" says a relatively pretty Saiyan woman who approaches me touching my head and messing up my hair.

"Ha Ha Ha what difference does it make he only trained for 1 year in the trained for several years we deserve to be here more than him" retorts the big guy.

"And in 1 year he received the recognition necessary to participate just like you who worked years to be able to do the same Ha Ha Ha" she says mocking the big guy who gets enraged.

"Tsk see you on the battlefield brat" says the muscular giant

I didn't care so much about it, after all, fists speak louder than words and for me, he didn't represent any threat.

"Approach young warriors let the draw begin" says Borgos

When all the participants get together I can easily count exactly a total of 24 people so that makes some people have privileged rankings starting only their duels in the second phase, that is, when the first 16 fight and eliminate their opponents 8 will go up to the second phase together with another 8, adding again 16 participants.

Everyone wants to fight with the first 16 because then you can participate in more battles, thus gaining more prominence when you win the tournament demonstrating that you have a higher energy level than the others.

I wouldn't mind starting in the second phase, but I prefer to participate in more battles since I started training my control over Ki I'm sure there would still be enough energy left for Lara to fight in the finals.

"So to draw who fights with whom we will draw by the numbers on the stones" says Borgos pointing to a stone table with 24 small stones forming a circle "I will call the participants one at a time!" so he starts calling each warrior one at a time.

The number I received was number 1, that is, I'm going to debut at the opening ceremony and guess who my opponent is, yes, the big guy himself seems to be the work of fate, at least we won't be fighting he won't be able to justify his defeat.

"Ha Ha Ha you have no luck brat you will fight the big me in the first match when I'm at my peak you won't even be good for a warm-up" says the brawny, brainless giant.

Looking at the big guy who was right in front of me smiling at me I ignore it and fly to the place that would serve as our battleground.

"Calm down and brute I'll take it easy on you" I call him to fight smiling slightly I can see his face redden with anger.

"Finally you talk I was starting to think you were dumb" he says trying to tease me without success, of course, I still had a blank face plastered on my face and that irritated him even more.

"When I speak, you'll start the battle" says Borgos, who was a few meters away from us.

Getting into a fighting position I feel the wind blow my hair and focus all my attention on the big guy who was ready too.
