God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains
Chapter 85 Using Rules To His Advantage

The two teams stood face to face while the instructor looked at them, "Here's the rules. Apart from the stuff that you just heard, anyone who wins a round will be allowed to fight another round." Stay tuned to empire

"You won't lose if you fall or faint when you're inside the boundary, but if you stay outside for more than ten seconds, it will count as a loss. Any questions?"

Clark and Brandon shook their heads. Brandon confidently walked into the ring and seeing this, Clark sent in the invisible guy.

Seeing him, Brandon flexed his muscles, clearly trying to show off, "What's your name kid?"

"Cloud..." he said and immediately turned invisible. Next, his clothes were tossed to the side as they were still visible.

"Heh, you have to be naked to use your skill properly?" Brandon asked and activated his awakened ability, growing a layer of stone over his body.

Cloud didn't respond, and no one could see where he was. Brandon tried to look for his footsteps, but there were none.

"You're just standing in one place." he said with a grin on his face before punching the place where Cloud originally was, only for his fist to hit nothing but air. The next second, he felt immense pain in his eyes.

"Argh, damn you! You threw sand on my eyes!" he yelled and randomly threw his fists, hitting nothing but air every single time.

Brandon then grabbed a bunch of sand and tossed it around, not knowing what to do. Keith shook his head and just waited for Brandon to lose as he knew that the chances of him winning was low now.

Minutes passed with Brandon attacking nothing but air. He tried a lot of things, but every single attack was wasted. By this time, even he realised that he couldn't win, so he raised his hand, "I give up."

He walked out of the ring, hoping to replace his team, only to get slapped my Clark.

"Damn. Fuck." he cursed and punched out, which Clark easily dodged before kicking him away.

Amelia ran over and helped Brandon back to the team before she and Clara began to help him with cleaning his eyes.

"Laura, you're more suitable to fight that kid. You should be able to sense him through vibrations and stuff right?" he asked and Laura nodded, "Yes, I should be able to smell him with my tongue too."

Saying this, she walked into the ring and looked at the instructor.

"Cloud huh? Do you wish to go for a round two?" she asked and Clark was the one who answered instead, "He will continue."

"Let the fight begin." the instructor said as she nodded.

Laura immediately transformed into a yellow python and hissed. Two seconds later, she darted towards the right and circled around the air. Which was physically not possible, but that was how it looked to the others as Cloud was invisible.

She dragged him back to the ring and blocked off his nose and mouth, until he fainted. Once Cloud was out cold, she transformed back to her human form and grabbed him by the ankle before tossing him outside.

"He had been standing outside all along, this is just cheating!" she complained as she glared at the instructor, but Clark scoffed at her.

"Do you have any proof? As far as I can tell, he clearly went outside one second before you caught him."

The instructor really did not have any way of confirming whether Cloud was in or out, so she agreed with Clark even though she too felt like Cloud had been standing outside all along. She felt helpless, but she had to abide by the rules.

"Clark is right. Neither you guys, nor I have any proof so there is nothing I can do. Nonetheless, Cloud is out now." she said and looked at Clark, "Who's going in this time?"

The girl silently walked in after Clark pushed her forward. She meekly stood inside the ring while Laura scoffed. The more she looked at this team, the more she hated them.

"A bunch of cheaters. Tch." she cursed and clicked her tongue before running towards the girl even without transforming. Seeing Laura rush towards her, she crouched down and covered her head with her hands, clearly afraid.

But Laura didn't show any mercy and directly kicked her, pushing her out of the ring with ease. The girl sat on the ground, with tears in her eyes and just as Clark was about to go to her, the instructor spoke.

"If you touch her while she's officially still fighting, both of you will be disqualified."

Clark stared at her for a few seconds, raising the tension in the air before he suddenly nodded, "Okay."

"She's been out for more than ten seconds, so she's disqualified." the instructor announced.

Keith had been counting on the side too, and he was surprised as it had only been nine seconds, not ten. Just from this, he could tell that the instructor didn't like the way Clark's team was doing things either.

Clark didn't cause any fuss and nodded, "Okay. I'll go next."

As he walked into the ring, he glanced at everyone on his opponents team. Keith watched him and the moment they made eye contact, his pinky twitched.

'....'

Just from one look, he knew that Clark would overpower Laura and that was exactly what happened. The moment he entered the ring, he dashed towards her as he kicked up a wall of sand and punched her right in the face, sending her flying along with a few droplets of blood that fell onto the sand, following Laura's trajectory.

Keith took a deep breath, getting ready to fight, but just then, the instructor raised her hand, "Clark, disqualified. You started the fight before my signal."

"...." Clark was silent for a few seconds as he glared at her, "You never said that the fight was supposed to start only after the signal. The first two fight also didn't have any signal rule either."

"Both in the first and second match, the participants had enough time to get ready. You attacked the moment you walked in. Are you saying that I'm being unfair?" she asked, challenging him.
