Rise of the Malactric Heir

While Alix was attempting to connect with the wolf, Adora grabbed his arm and distracted him, causing him to look at her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"There are many people here, making a strong connection with him will be hard, leave it for tomorrow, you will begin your training with him then," she responded, and he smirked at the wolf who was staring at him.

"I'll show him who's boss, I'll leave it until tomorrow," he said, and Adora looked at the VIPs who were staring at Alix because he had caught their attention, which Adora knew was a bad sign.

"I think we should leave, I don't like the look we're getting," Nina said, as Alix stared right back at the VIPs and Adora sighed.

"We came here to have some fun; I would like to see what else they have," Adora said and Nina glanced at her.

"Please come back another night," she said.

"Relax, don't be afraid of people like them," Yan said as he wrapped his arm around Nina, whose cheeks turned pink as she pouted.

"You sure are cute," Yan said and she elbowed him in the stomach, causing him to laugh and her smile to shine brightly.

"Would you like a fox?" Nina questioned, capturing Adora's attention.

"You didn't pick it at random, whose fox is it?" Adora asked.

"A guy named Kyle, he's a raining champion, and he keeps injuring the fox," Nina said, and Adora smiled.

"I see, you want me to save the fox, but what if it doesn't want to be saved?" Adora asked, and Nina lowered her head.

"I didn't say I wouldn't do it, Nina; if I win and get the fox, we might run into some issues; are you okay with that?" Adora questioned.

"I don't mind kicking his ass as long as you get the fox," she said, scowling.

"What do you think, boy? Are you up for another round?" Adora asked, her gaze drawn to her tiger, who just rubbed his head against her.

"Is he the only one you have?" Alix questioned.

"No, I have more summon, I just won't use them for this, the tiger is good enough to handle it, our goal is to win by getting the fox to surrender, if my tiger fights seriously with it, the fox will get hurt," Adora worriedly said.

​ "Princess, he is not just a normal tiger is he?" Alix questioned.

"No, he's special; he's always around me; I can't afford to lose him; if he gets angry, he might end up killing the fox," Adora replied.

"No surprise he and the wolf understand each other, he'll be fine, seems like he can handle himself and get you what you want," Alix said, patting the tiger on the head.

"Are you going to let him fight?" Aerav questioned.

'Yeah, anyone else got a summon?' she asked as they exchanged glances.

"When we do look at it, none of us had ever considered getting our own, and I want one," Aerav responded.

"Well, maybe with time, you'll all get your own beasts and form a nice bond with them," she said, looking across the arena at the tall white fox with six tails and green bruises around its eyes.

"You can't let him, beat that fox, it's really injured," Nina said, and Adora looked at the tiger, which was staring at the fox as its next prey.

"Can you tell me the tiger's real name?" Alix asked.

"He is a boy, but I call him Star for a variety of reasons," she explained.

"Do you think you can win without having to beat that poor thing?" Nina questioned, and the tiger's eyes glowed red as it walked up to the cage, after their names were called out and both the fox and the tiger entered the cage, which locked down a minute later.

"You have got a nice beast there, it's rare, are you prepared to lose him?" a tall, slim, black-haired man asked as he approached Adora , and she gave him a killer look.

"I don't think I'm going to come out on the losing end," she replied.

"I don't think we need to be concerned about the tiger hurting the fox; what we should be concerned about is Adora killing Kyle; I hope he doesn't aggravate her," Yan said, and Nina nervously smiled.

"I would like to see her kick his ass, that should be fun," Alix said and Nina thumped him on the back.

"You are right, it would be fun, but this place would become a complete mess, don't go encouraging her Alix, damn you guys are going to kill me sooner or later," Nina said as Alix patted her on the head and she sighed.

"Relax, I'm sure she will be fine," he said as the bell rang and the fight between the fox and the tiger began. The tiger took care not to hurt the fox but was looking to knock him out before it was too late because he understood everything the others had told him about not hurting the fox.

"He clearly understood everything we were saying, these beasts truly are something else,' Alix thought as he looked at the tiger, avoiding the fox's attack, which was only making the creature angrier.

"This could go wrong," Sarah warned.

"Yeah, he just needs to find the right moment, when the fox is distracted and hit him with all his might to pin the fox down without hurting him.

"That way, the match would be over sooner," Ayden said as the fox's body began to glow bright white and everyone gasped.

"Oh no," Alix said.

"Boy, defend yourself," Adora shouted, and the tiger and fox roared at the same time, shaking the entire cage. Adora looked at the others a bit worried, then at Kyle, who was standing right beside her.

"I really want to kill him," she thought with her fists clenched, as an energy wave hit the audience as the fox and the tiger clashed, bending the cage, which didn't seem as though it would hold much longer.
