Picking up Girls With My System

The Frostpeak crew was free to do whatever they wanted. Arthur only asked for Kai to cover up Dara for the time being, as Runo could recognize her, and that would ruin their operation. Dara had no problems with that, so everything was good.

Arthur spent most of the day resting, eating, and trying to gather as much information about the illegal fights as he could. There was almost nothing, but Arthur was sure they were a lot of rich people betting on these fights.

When the sun set and the moon took over the sky, Arthur dropped everything he was doing and went to the place where the fights would happen. He wore the same clothing underneath. The only addition was a black-cloak with a hood and a mask.

“Death Claw? Let me see here.”

The guard had the names on the formularies they had to fill, so he just looked up, and after 1 minute, he saw Arthur’s name was on the list. Arthur was using the name Death Claw for these illegal fights.

“All right. You can enter. Wait inside the fighter’s area.”

Arthur only nodded and entered. Behind the door the guard was protecting, there was a tiny hall that lead to an open area. In this open area, there were a lot of comfy chairs for the people to sit and watch, and some girls offered food and drinks to these rich people.

.

The ring stood in the middle, and it was lower than the rest of the platform to make it easier for the people to watch the fight, and harder if any fighter tried to escape.

“You’re a new fighter? Follow me, please.” A girl said, and Arthur did what she was told.

She led him to an adjunct room where all the fighters waited for their fights. It had some food you could get and a bathroom.

“Nicer than I thought it would be.” thought Arthur.

“Fresh blood? Ha, if you end up fighting with me I’ll end you.” some random guy said to Arthur. He just ignored it. Fighting was prohibited in that area, so he couldn’t beat that guy even if he wanted to.

Arthur grabbed the food as it was free and waited in the corner until something happened. After what seemed like an eternity, the same girl that showed him the room returned with a paper in hands.

“The next fight will be Death Claw against Stab. Follow me, please.” She said, turned around, and left.

It turned out the ‘Stab’ person was the one that talked shit to Arthur a few moments ago.

“It is you? My luck is out of this world.” Stab went first and gave Arthur a vicious gaze.

Little did he know Arthur was someone beyond his league of power…

A man stood above the ring, and used some type of magic to make his voice louder, so everyone inside the arena could hear.

“And now, a new fighter goes up against someone you are all familiar with… Stab!”

“Whoa, it is Stab. The new fighter is doomed.”

“I know, right? My money is all on Stab.”

The people in the area chatted, and almost everyone bet their money on Stab, which was a known fighter in the arena. Whoever, there was someone in the corner who did not think like that.

“I’ll bet everything on, captain. There’s no way he loses to someone called Stab.” Kai said as he put all the money they got from the temple into Arthur’s victory.

“All right. Now, Death Claw vs Stab, START!”

Arthur was on one side of the ring, and Stab on the other. He scanned his opponent and saw the level 15 above its head. In his opinion, it would be an easy fight for him.

Stab also did not move instantly after the fight started. He had a bad feeling inside, but thought it couldn’t possibly be coming from this new fighter, right? He was someone who won lots of fights, and there was no way an experienced fighter like him would lose to a new fighter.

The nickname he got was because he used mainly knives to kill his opponents, like an assassin. So, with a sharp knife in hands, he dashed in Arthur’s direction.

He wasn’t slow by any means, but for Arthur? Stab moved like a slug. In a straight line, he ran, and tried to stab his knife in Arthur’s guts. Using his claws, Arthur blocked the attack as if it was nothing, and stared at Stab with cold eyes.

“I was only testing the waters. You’ll see.” Stab gritted his teeth and continued with a barrage of attacks.

Nothing seemed to work. He stabbed in all parts of Arthur’s body, and even used a few faints here and there, and it didn’t work. All tricks were useless when facing true strength.

Arthur wasn’t worried, until Stab stopped his attacks, stepped back, and turned invisible, just like the goblins Arthur fought in the underground city.

“Oh, no. Not this shit again.” Arthur hated these people that could turn invisible. It was a pain in the ass.

The only thing he could do was to wait for Stab to make his first move and then attack him. It didn’t take long for it to happen, as Stab was not paying the respect he should to Arthur.

It was the same type of attack he tried before, but now aiming for Arthur’s back. Arthur saw everything clearly the moment Stab turned his invisibility off, but did not move.

Arthur let the knife stab on his back, making a hole in it. Stab laughed like a maniac.

“Hahaha, you’re dead. I won, I wo-” before he could finish his sentence, Arthur turned around and pierced his claws in Stab’s throat.

Blood spurted from the wound like a stream, and Stab couldn’t talk anymore, as his vocal cords were all in pieces. Everyone couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

“Who’s that new fighter? DAMN!”
