Chapter 44: Unapproachable


    "Amazing!", thought Greg, while picking up the broken spoon from the ground.


    After standing back up, he wanted to inspect the wind silk in mid-air, however, he was surprised to see that it disappeared.


    "It disappeared so fast?", he asked himself and shed another wind silk.


    In an instant, another wind de appeared in the air. However this time he didn''t throw anything at it but waited.


    After waiting for more than 15 minutes, the wind de in the air started to sink in size, and in the end, it disappeared into thin air.


    "Hmm... So it can stay in mid-air for 15 minutes, but if it touches anything it instantly disappears.", thought Greg and after thinking for a while he started to experiment a bit more.


    ***


    The next morning, Greg was sitting in the Arena, while eating a sandwich with a delightful expression.


    Joe, M, and Emma were sitting next to Greg and watched him with a confused expression.


    Seeing that all of them looked at him, he stopped eating.


    "What?"


    "Greg... Um... Why is your pet on your shoulder?", asked Emma shyly.


    Hearing this question, Greg looked at his right shoulder, only to see his fairy sitting there with a smile while swinging her little legs from time to time.


    "Well... Yesterday I finally made her rank up, but after that, she somehow started to behave independently. Maybe it''s because she is a mutant or I don''t know, but I don''t really mind it."


    Listening to this, the three on his side were even more shocked, leaving them absolutely speechless.


    Seeing them like this, Greg just shrugged and continued to eat his sandwich.


    As time went by, Chris finally walked in and started the PGF.


    The first fight was between M and another girl, who had an enhancing ability, which let her strength, speed, and stamina to grow dramatically.


    However, for M, this kind of opponent was as easy to beat as breathing some fresh air.


    "If you can''t reach me, then it''s no matter how strong are you, in the end, defeat will catch you.", said M after getting the victory.


    With this win, she reached fourth ce with 18 points. She was behind Greg, Joe, and another guy, whose name was Eric Radel.


    He was the guy with the invisibility ability. It was too overpowered, that no one was able to find a way to beat him and because of this, he was the first with 24 points.


    Joe had 24 points too, but because of the time difference, between his and Eric''s fastest fights, he was in second ce.


    Challenges went by one by one, resulting in winners and losers. After the fifth fight, Chris looked around and asked, "Who wants to challenge this time?"


    In an instant, as he asked this, Eric stood up on the side and raised his hand.


    "I want to challenge Greg Hyde!"


    Hearing this, Chris looked in Greg''s direction and asked, "Will you ept the challenge?"


    Hearing the question, Greg swallowed the food in his mouth and while cleaning his mouth he nodded.


    Seeing this rxed act, Eric just smiled slightly and walked toward the tform.


    Greg stood up too and started to walk down with his pet still on his shoulder.


    After taking his ce Eric looked at the fairy on Greg''s shoulder and said, "If I were you, I would put that pet away."


    Greg raised his eyebrow slightly after hearing this and asked, "Why?"


    However, Eric just continued to smile without an answer, making Greg a bit confused.


    Seeing as the two were waiting for his signal, Chris raised his hand and opened his mouth.


    "Ready? FIGHT!"


    In an instant, as Chris''s voice sounded through the Arena, Eric''s figure disappeared into thin air.


    Greg saw this but wasn''t shocked. He saw this scene a lot of times so far, so he knew what to expect.


    And just as he thought about this, a sudden sh flew toward him, targeting his fairy on his shoulder.


    Without any hesitation, he jumped to the side, dodging the iing attack, but just as his feet touched the ground, another sh came at him from another direction, but now a bit closer.


    *Swish!*


    He shed in the direction where thest attack came at him in the hope to see if he could hit Eric, but unfortunately, his hopes were too high.


    Just as he shed, another sh came at him from behind his back.


    Using Alice''s speed boost, he jumped to the side, while his sight turned ck and white.


    Seeing no trace of Eric, Greg was a bit surprised.


    "So the Silver Wolf''s tracking ability is only useful for visible targets. Good to know."


    Dodging another attack from Eric, Greg stopped moving and shed around him a few times.


    Just as everybody waited for something big to happen, unfortunately, this time nothing urred.


    "What is Greg doing?", asked M with a questioning look, after seeing his move a second ago.


    Instead of answering, Joe leaned forward a bit and squinted his eyes. After 10 full seconds, he leaned back into his chair and smiled.


    "It seems his pet obtained another interesting ability."


    "Huh?"


    Just as M and Emma wanted to ask Joe what he meant under his statement, suddenly they heard a loud shout.


    "Aargh!"


    Looking down onto the tform, blood dripped from the air onto the ground, leaving the onlookers a bit confused.


    "If I were you, I wouldn''t try toe closer.", said Greg as he patted the fairy''s head on his shoulder.


    Hearing this, people started talking with each other with confused expressions.


    "What did he do? I didn''t see anything."


    "I don''t know. Maybe some kind of ability?"


    As people talked quietly, suddenly a loud shout could be heard.


    "Hey, what the hell? What are those?!"


    Hearing the voice, everyone looked toward Greg''s figure and a whileter shocked gasps could be heard from here and there.


    All around Greg, thin wind des were hovering in one ce, which was so thin that only the small vibrations could be seen. And what was more that there were at least a hundred of them around his body.


    Greg just stood where he was with a rxed expression and waited for the attacks.


    "I don''t believe I can''t reach you!", said Eric angrily and suddenly a sh hit one of the wind des.


    *Swish!*


    In an instant, as the sh reached the wind de, it got cut into half without a problem.


    Seeing as something fell to the ground, Greg looked down, to only see a needle lying before him, which was smoothly cut in half.


    "Interesting, but only with a mere needle you won''t win.", said Greg seriously as he was looking around, but suddenly needles from different directions came at him with an insane speed.


    Standing in one ce, Greg let the needles hit the wind des around him one by one.


    *ng!*


    *Swish!*


    As the needle hit wind des after wind des, suddenly Eric started to talk.


    "As I thought. Those wind des around you will disappear aftering into contact with something. And if I''m right, you can''t make those des freely."


    In an instant, as he said that, a needle flew toward Greg''s direction, however, this time there were no wind des to stop it.


    As the needle was about to reach the fairy''s head on his shoulder, he just merely smiled.


    "Found you."


    *BOOOOM!*
