Erik was awakened by his smartphone's ringtone. Since he was still connected to the device, the young man didn't even need to pick it up to know who was calling them. Besides, there weren't many people who got his number, so it was easy to guess who the caller was.
"Hello? Uncle Ben?" Erik said on the phone.
"Hey Erik, I hope I didn't wake you up!" Benjamin said.
"Not at all, uncle Ben, not at all!" Erik replied.
"Good then. Look, I heard you joined a competition at school. Why didn't you tell me anything?"
"I'm sorry, uncle Ben, but I had a lot of things to do during these days, and I completely forgot..." Erik said.
"Nevermind then... So, when is your next match scheduled?" The man asked.
"It's scheduled at 11:00 today."
"Mind if I come?" Benjamin asked.
"Of course not! Come to school; behind the main building, there is a ring, and the matches will be held there..."
"All right then, see you later!" Benjamin replied.
"Bye, Uncle Ben!"
Ok, guys. I know that the tournament lasted a lot, and today I finished writing the last match. It is not going to go on a lot longer, just 4 days. The new narrative arc is going to start soon, after that, the first book is going to end. However, the Red Palace arc won't be like the tournament, there will be matches, but not as much as now. The time frame in which everything will happen will also be longer and we will see the effects of Erik's past actions. Hope you will enjoy the rest of the tournament.
