Kenshin guides him to the Tournament. Since Takata already registered him, They went into the registration counter to get the Identification number.
On their way, they met with Himura Soma and Soejima Isano again. Alex frowned and complained inwardly, 'What the heck with this coincidence plot?'
"Haha…Isn't this Young Master Kenshin, are you going to participate? Even you are 1-Star Martial Master, I'm still wondering if you can defeat a Peak Foundation Stage?"
"It is useless to talk to you here, I will give you the answer in the arena. Just hope you don't face me or you will regret de gozaru" Kenshin Said
"De gozaru? What with that weird speech? You are very embarrassing." Isano mocked Kenshin
"I don't care what other thinking. I only know this is giving me pride!"
"Pride? What Pride? There won't be any pride because you are only a loser" Soma looked at him with disgust. Then he noticed Alex beside Kenshin. "Oh, You are still with him, You are also a fool that didn't know what is good or bad, I already give you my goodwill and advise you to leave him. A fool. From the look of it, you are the same as him, 1-Star Martial Master, I will give you a beating that you won't be able to forget for the rest of your life. After all, I'm a 2-Star Martial Master. If I have another month, I will reach 3-Star Martial Master. You fool can only bow down to me, a genius."
Before Alex speaks, Kenshin stopped them, "Stop. If you wanted to insult me, then insult me. I won't tolerate who insult my brother."
"Huh…I don't need you to tell me that. This is my mouth, I can insult whoever I…"
"Amithaba" A sudden appearance of a bald monk stopped his mouth, The monk is around the same age as them.
"Itagaki Kyousuke" Soma blurted out his name. "What with you, you become a bald… Ouch!"
Isano immediately pinched Soma. She knew from Itagaki Kyousuke appearance as a monk, then he must have been recruited as a Monk for Buddha Sect. Offending him now is a bad move. They still didn't have any identity as one of the top four sects disciple.
Seeing the commotion has stopped, Itagaki Kyousuke, without saying anything, walked away.
"Hmph! My mood is down. You are lucky for now, you better not meet me in the arena later" Soma immediately dragged Isano away.
"Alex" Kenshin looked at him worriedly.
Alex only smiled, "I didn't say anything. That's right, do you know what kind of competition will be held later?"
"No" Kenshin shook his head. "I don't know. My Father will come later as Himura House's head. Let's go, we need to get our identification number."
Alex nodded, they went to the registration counter. Both of them get a tag. Kenshin's tag has '131' written on it. While Alex has '503' written on it. The numbers come from their registration numbers. But when Alex flip the Tag. He saw 'C' written on it.
"Kenshin, Try to look the Character behind your number" Alex said
"A?" Kenshin looked at him, confused. "What is this Character?"
"I don't know. Mine is 'C"
"I will ask about it to them."
Alex nodded, not long after, he is back. "Alex, They didn't say anything. There will be an instruction for it later."
"Sure. Let's go" Alex said. "Oh, I almost forget about this. Who is that monk? It seems that you know him too."
Kenshin nodded, "He is Itagaki Kyousuke, the prodigy from Itagaki House. The rumor said Buddha Sect extend their invitation to him before the tournament start. He is a 3-Star Martial Master."
"Is there anyone like him too in this tournament?" Alex asked. He needs to make sure first. Since the one who already got recruited by the sect must receive some instruction beforehand.
"There is one more, she is Kusunoki Kayo from Kusunoki House. She is the pride of Kusunoki House, Rainbow Flower Sect already invited her to become her disciple."
"Hmm, now that you mention it, I still didn't know anything about the Five Families in this town."
"That's right. I forgot to tell you about this. Then, now we are here. There are Five Families, as you know they are Himura House, Soejima House, Itagaki House, Kusunoki House, and the City Lord, Nakagawa. From Himura House, the representative is Himura Soma. From Soejima House, She is Soejima Isano. Itagaki House is Itagaki Kyousuke. Kusunoki Kayo from Kusunoki House and the last is from Nakagawa House, they have two big representatives, they are Nakagawa Hikotaka and his elder sister, Nakagawa Hiina.
You have seen Himura Soma, Soejima Isano and Itagaki Kyousuke just now. I will describe the other three. First, Kusunoki Kayo from Kusunoki House, she is a prodigy from Kusunoki House, 3-Star Martial Master, because of her talent, the Rainbow Flower Sect recruited her a month ago. So, I'm sure that her prowess is stronger from 3-Star Martial Master. As for her appearance, She is 19 years old, Brown sharp eyes, long brown hair reaching her waist, pretty face, and beautiful curves. You should be able to differentiate her even in the crowds"
"Ah, you mean her?" Alex pointed out a girl in the crowds. Kenshin followed the direction he pointed at, And he saw a girl that fulfill his description. Brown sharp eyes, long brown hair reaching her waist, and beautiful. She currently wearing a white shirt and a white skirt. Kenshin nodded, what a coincidence…"That's right, it is her"
"Then, what about the other two?"
"Nakagawa Hikotaka, 17 Years old. He is a playboy who was protected by his Elder Sister and his family. Though his Cultivation is high, he wasn't that liked. The same with Himura Soma. Their behavior is embarrassing. He had a pretty face even though he is a man, Long silver hair."
"You seem didn't like this person that much…"
"Of course! He is very perverted" Kenshin nodded furiously. "Let's continue. The last person is Nakagawa Hiina. She is a big prodigy, even Itagaki Kyousuke and Kusunoki Kayo loss to her talent. She is currently at 4-Star Martial Master. I heard from the rumor that Rainbow Flower Sect had sent their invitation to her but she still hasn't replied to them. After all, she is currently 18 years old. She has the potential to become a Martial King."
"Oh…" Alex was astonished.
"Her appearance, she is a beauty that prettier than Kusunoki Kayo. With her Long Silver Hair, beautiful curves and edges, Her penetrating silver eyes, and her aloof expression that make her like a snow lotus in the snowy mountain. Beautiful but untouchable. She is…"
"Oh, you mean them?" Before Kenshin finished his words, Alex pointed out his finger again.
"Again?" Kenshin was shocked. Coincidence? 'F*ck you'
He looked at another direction, he saw two people, one male and one female. The male has Long Silver Hair, Carefree expression and eyes that seems looking down on people. The female has Long Silver hair reaching her waist, just like a goddess, She has beautiful curves and edges, aloof expression that telling the world she is different, she is the most beautiful girl that Alex has seen in this town, of course, not on par with Alicia and Firia. They were a matching suit, it seems it was their uniform or something. Black shirt with Black pants for the male and Black Skirt for the female. They contrast with their beautiful silver hair and make it more appealing.
"That's right. It's them" Kenshin said tiredly.
But, maybe because noticing their gaze. The Elder Sister seems looked back at them. She frowned.
"Let's go, Alex. It's better to not cause trouble for now. It's bothersome.
Alex nodded.
A middle-aged man accompanied the Brother-Sister duo. He was curious why the elder Sister frowned when she saw them. "Hiina, what's wrong?"
"Nothing" She shook her head.
"I think I see you frowned when you saw the Former Genius of Himura House, Himura Kenshin? What do you think about him? Is he really that weak compared to the current Genius of Himura House, Himura Soma?"
"What? Father, why are you asking about it to Elder Sister ?" The younger one, Nakagawa Hikotaka can't take it anymore. The middle-aged man who accompanied them is their Father, the current City Lord, Nakagawa Otoshi.
"He is stronger…far stronger" Nakagawa Hiina said.
"Sister?"
"Hoo…" Nakagawa Otoshi, then he recalled something. "If I'm not wrong. There is another young man beside him, they seem to come together. I'm sure that he also a 1-Star Martial Master, what do you think about him?"
"Him…" She frowned, when she saw Himura Kenshin, she was surprised a bit since from the rumor about him become useless have spread in their town. But when she saw his aura, it seems that the rumor wasn't true. But, when she saw Alex, she frowned. Since she is a 4-Star Martial Master, she, of course, can see Alex's cultivation stage which is 1-Star Martial Master. But there is an indescribable feeling creeping inside her. Even though Alex is just a 1-Star Martial Master, she felt that she wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"What's wrong?" Otoshi was confused with the sudden silence. He didn't observe Alex so he didn't know what his daughter thinking, but seeing her frowned like this. He is expecting to meet this young man.
"He is equal to me, if not better" Hiina finally said.
"Hoo…" Otoshi was shocked by this. He never expected his daughter, the number one genius in the town would say something like that.
"What?" Not only him, Hikotaka who besides her, is shocked too by the sudden revelation. He suddenly becomes angry. If he met that man in the arena, he would beat him hard to prove that his sister is wrong.
…
Alex and Kenshin were still ignorant that they have been targeted by the Nakagawa duo. They went inside the arena.
"Look at the back of your tag. The Character symbolize which block you are on. Please follow the staff to your respective room." There is an announcer inside.
"It seems we will be separated for a while" Kenshin said.
Alex looked at him with disgust. "Your words just now… It sounds like you don't want to be separated from me. Scram, You sound like a gay."
"Wha! You misunderstand me…" Kenshin desperately wanted to explain to Alex. Alex sneak out hurriedly.
When he noticed that Alex was already gone, he sighed and went to his waiting room.
…
Not long after, the announcer finally comes to the stage, "Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to the arena. Today we will hold our three years competition. But, because there is a sudden influx of participants. We will make a preliminary round for the first round. But first, let us greet our special guest first. From the four sects. Sir Su Hua from Mount Hua Sect, Sir Dominic Phelan from Buddha Sect, Sir Conn Kindellan from Heavenly Sword Sect, and Miss Amira Austin from Rainbow Flower Sect."
*Clap Clap*
Four people stood up from their seats. The first one, Alex has seen him, he is the elder from Mount Hua Sect. The second one from the Buddha sect was your typical old monk except his name. Alex felt really weird when he heard his name, well he always heard Cultivation Novel on Earth with only Chinese Name, so not only their name isn't a Chinese Name, but he also experienced it now, not read it, so it feel weird for him. As for the Heavenly Sword Sect, is also another old man with white hair, but despite his age, he still giving the aura of a warrior. The last one is a Beautiful woman. Alex only classified her as one level below Nakagawa Hiina.
"Then let's move on to our Host, the Five Families Leader. From Nakagawa House, Nakagawa Otoshi. From Himura House, Himura Takata. From Soejima House, Soejima Ujitaka. From Itagaki House, Itagaki Yukiteru. And From Kusunoki House, Kusunoki Rentaro."
*Clap Clap*
Five people stood up, in the middle, Nakagawa Otoshi, this is the middle-aged man that he saw when he saw the Nakagawa duo. Now that he understood who he is, And it seems that the Silver Hair is their gen. He looks like a Strict but caring Father from Alex's perspective. On his left, One of them is Kenshin's Father, and the other one is another middle-aged man. His name is Kusunoki Rentaro. From his carefree look, he seems to be a very doting parent.
The opposite of them is another two middle-aged men. The first one has a kind face and the other one has a sly face. If Alex concludes it in one sentence, one of them is a Kind old man and the other is Old Fox.
