Chapter 24: Indestructible.
(Ichiro POV)
Those damn rules.
I was going to get some payback after they hurt Liam, intentionally.
But that referee seems suspicious.
Obviously favoring Hiena for some reason.
Gotta get to bottom of this.
''…'' I was sitting quietly and listening to people talking around me, but for some reason, they were now quiet. I looked around me and they all looked in the same direction…
I looked to my right and saw one man approaching me with a slight smile.
He had long black hair, with cold grey eyes, pale face, and slim build with few muscles, but what was different from him was his legs, which seemed very agile, not too much muscle, but not too less either, perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
He arrived at my spot and looked at me with a slight smile and said. ''Yo.''
''Yo, so what do we owe this pleasure, Slych,'' I asked him, he was captain of team Armya, defending champion and team with the highest chance of victory and he was also the strongest middle school student in the country of Gensa. Slych Raften!
Club advisor and students around me looked at me with widened eyes, seeing me talking with Slych so casually.
Slych grinned and said.''I was bored, so I came here.'' He said and sat down next to me which usually had Lucas sitting, but he was now walking towards the arena, that is why it was empty.
''I understand, how is your day going?'' I asked him and Slych sat with relaxation and said. ''It has been fine, you?'' I shrugged my shoulders and said. ''Could be better.''
''Yeah, 2 warnings, that is not good.'' Slych grinned while looking at me.
''Hmph.'' I snorted.
''You want to know why the referee was favoring Hiena?'' Slych asked from me and I gave him a nod waiting for him to speak.
Slych opened his mouth and said.''That referee's surname is Ledorman, does it ring bells?''
I widened my eyes and asked. ''Like Mick?''
''Yes, but Hiena's team captain also has the surname Ledorman.'' Slych said and I nodded and answered.''I see now.''
''I am not sure what is their relationship because Ledorman is a quite popular surname in Hiena.'' Slych told.
''But that referee is obviously from Hiena.'' I said with cold eyes.
''Indeed, quite unlucky for the referee from Hiena to be a referee in your match against Hiena.'' Slych said and continued with slightly furrowed brows. ''Maybe tournament organizers made a slight mistake or it was intentional.''
''…'' I was sitting silently until Slych elbowed my waist and said. ''No need to think about too much, he can't do anything to decide the fight's outcome, he is only there to end the fight and not let anyone die.''
''I understand, thanks.'' I gave a nod of gratitude towards Slych, he grinned and said. ''No problem~''
'How the hell can Ichiro talk so casually with that monster.' Club advisor thought anxiously white scratching his head.
I looked at the referee coldly, I hate people like him. People always talk about fairness about these tournaments, but then one rotten apple always comes and ruins it.
Slych looked at me and said with a slight grin. ''Are you thinking about doing something to him.''
''Maybe,'' I said while shrugging my shoulders.
Slych grinned widely and said. ''Well, count me in.''
I raised my eyebrows and asked. ''Why?''
''I am bored,'' Slych answered with a grin.
I also grinned and said. ''Sure, but let's do it with Lucas.'' Slych nodded his head and looked at the arena, where the final fight is about to start.
In the arena.
''Match Nr.1! Final Round! Lucas Quinthold Vs. Rywiol Ledorman!'' referee, who was unaware of danger approaching him yelled.
''Are you both ready?!''
Lucas nodded while standing at a height of 195cm, easily being the tallest person in the tournament, he was wearing the usual Irio fighting outfit which consisted of white pants and white half, blue half shirt with black stripes on sides, he was currently looking at Rywiol with slight anger, but disguised it nicely.
Rywiol also nodded with an angry look, he was a young man standing at 183cm with light blue hair, blue hair was quite common among Ledorman, while Mick had dark blue, Rywiol had way lighter one, he had dark green eyes with arched eyebrows and muscular body, not as muscular as Lucas has, but way above average.
''Fight!'' Referee yelled and went to supervise the fight like a hawk.
''You guys will pay for injuring Qin!'' Rywiol growled in anger.
''Wise man once said, I am gonna kick your ass,'' Lucas said and rushed forwards towards Rywiol.
''Hmph!'' Rywiol snorted and also rushed forwards.
They both met each other in the middle of the arena. Lucas made his move first, he started slightly jumping in his spot, doing the boxer's stance with his arms in front of him.
Rywiol went to a more defensive stance, waiting for Lucas to make his move and then make a counter-attack.
*Bam!* Lucas made his first move and did a simple straight punch, but it only hit Rywiol's block.
Rywiol was expecting something more, that move didn't even tickle him and that is why he was quite confused.
Lucas smiled and started moving around him quickly. Rywiol quickly followed Lucas' movements, until Lucas finally decided to unleash his jabs.
*Bam!Bam!Bam!Bam!* Furious Jabs rained on Rywiol's block.
Rywiol was still easily blocking them because those jabs weren't that difficult to defend.
Rywiol still had the body of a Middle Martial Leader.
Qin also was Middle Martial Leader, but Qin never managed to win Rywiol even though they were at the same rank.
Because Rywiol's amazing defensive capabilities and Qin didn't have the ability to break through his defense.
Rywiol smirked and did a quick jab towards Lucas.
*Bam!* Lucas quickly managed to put his arm up to block Qin's jab.
Lucas was unfazed and thought.'Battle of jabs? Alright then.' then he smirked.
*Bam!Bam!Bam!* Lucas then started raining on Rywiol with even faster jabs!
Rywiol slightly widened his eyes and started to slightly suffer under Lucas' barrage.
Rywiol slightly backed off and finally, Lucas' jabs ended and Rywiol managed to get a short break.
''Need a break?'' Lucas asked mockingly.
Rywiol growled in anger and rushed towards Lucas, ignoring defensive for now and focused on attacking.
[Rocket!]
Rywiol put his strength on his legs, making his muscles slightly grow in size with his body leaning forwards.
*Crack!* Tiles under him shattered and rocketed Rywiol onwards towards Lucas who had slightly widened eyes.
Lucas seeing Rywiol rocket towards him, trying to tackle him, decided to use his quick movement to get out of the way.
*Whish!* Rywiol flew past Lucas's body, but just slightly and Rywiol managed to hit Lucas' shoulder which made him slightly grimace in pain.
[Rocket Propeller!]
Then suddenly Rywiol put his feet on the ground of the platform, making an instant stop, then he turned around to face Lucas and put his arms on the ground, to start running as sprinters do.
*Bam!* *Crack!* Again tiles cracked under Rywiol, but he was already heading towards Lucas.
''I was planning to use this move later, but I don't care anymore,'' Lucas said aloud and went to horse stance, waiting for Rywiol to hit him.
''What is he doing?'' Slych asked me while I was watching Lucas' match.
''No idea,'' I said while looking at Lucas in wonder. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
I saw Rywiol rushing towards Lucas who was still in his horse stance.
Rywiol reached Lucas and roared and yelled. ''DIEEE!'' I raised my eyebrows on that comment and looked at the referee who was standing innocently, I gave a grin to that. 'This fucker…'
Rywiol was only moments away from reaching Lucas until he finally made his move! Lucas moved his right arm so that his elbow was aimed at Rywiol's forehead.
[Indestructible!]
Rywiol widened his eyes, but his momentum was too much to stop and crashed his forehead towards the hard elbow.
*Bam!* Loud sound echoed in the stadium and the audience looked with widened eyes, they thought that Lucas would get eliminated and end Irio's journey, but suddenly they saw Rywiol fly backward with his forehead being stained in blood with his teeth flying around out of his mouth.
*Bam* Rywiol crashed to the ground knocked out.
*Cheers!* Audience erupted in cheers while looking at the replay on the big screens of the match and finally saw how it ended.
It made some people shiver because it looked extremely painful!
''Nice,'' I said while clapping slowly.
Slych grinned towards me and asked. ''I thought you would be jumping in joy like them.'' Slych pointed towards students behind me and the club advisor cheering in joy.
''It's only Lucas, if he gets a girlfriend one day then I might cheer in joy,'' I said.
Slych roared in laughter and patted my back. ''You are fun!'' Slych said while grinning.
''You are not too bad yourself,'' I said and fist-bumped with Slych and looked at Lucas who was still standing at the arena waiting for the referee to say something.
''Uh… referee?'' Lucas asked from the dumbfounded referee.
''M-match over! Winner Lucas Quinthold! Middle School of Irio are the Winners!'' the referee said with reluctance and looked at Lucas with slight anger.
Lucas gave a slight bow and started walking towards Irio's stands until he saw Slych sitting next to Ichiro and he stopped for a moment and then thought.'Oh my god, that monster was looking at my match, I am freaking out!' But Lucas perfectly disguised his thoughts.
Lucas arrived in front of me and looked at Slych with slight shock.
I introduced Lucas to Slych. ''Slych, this is Lucas also known as an eternal virgin, but don't be too harsh on him, he is trying alright.''
''Fuck you!'' Lucas growled in anger and said afterward. ''I am only 15, I am not one of those harem protagonists who starts hunting women like pokemon when they are 10 or something.''
Slych grinned and said. ''Nice to meet you.'' Slych offered a handshake and Lucas shook it with a smile and said.''Nice to meet you too.''
''So we got plans for tonight,'' I said towards Lucas who raised his eyebrows and asked what it is.
Then I closed on him to whisper and told him our plan and Lucas had a slight grin on him and gave his approval towards our plan.
I, Lucas, and Slych are going for referee hunting!
Of course, we aren't going to kill him or something, that would be nuts.
He only rigged a little bit off the match, I am not a psychopath!
I might be slightly crazy, but everyone would be after seeing things I have seen…
We are only going to get proofs that he favored Hiena's team and spread it around the news station and if we find that certain referee, maybe walking towards home, we might give him a few broken bones.
But nothing too bad!
I promise.
