Next day...
I went to the locker room and changed into a combat suit right after school.
As soon as I was done changing, I went straight to Arena 3.
Yesterday's fight was quite tiring, so I ask the so-called organizers (student council) to postpone my fight with the other three goons.
The organizers gave their approval and even made a schedule of whom I will fight for the next three days after school.
Not only that, they declared my fight as a school event and start selling tickets.
They even use the excuse "fund raising for our improving the school project" which I don't buy.
As I enter the Arena 3, I could hear the audience screaming while the "commentators" are doing their random babbling.
"Students, teacher, staffs and lunch ladies! It's now time for the second round of this tournament!" (Pol)
When did this become a tournament?
"Wooh! Wooh!" (Audience)
"Are you all excited?" (Meirin)
"Wooh! Wooh!" (Audience)
"I take that as a yes!" (Meirin)
"Now everyone! Who do you thing will win this time? Is it Linel?" (Pol)
"Wooh! Wooh!" (Audience)
"Or is it the nobody?" (Meirin)
"..." (Audience)
"If you all want to vote, go to the Silver Wing Academy Twibber page then go to the "all is fair in love and war" post and comment down bellow who you think will win to cast your vote." (Meirin)
"Those who vote for the winner... Ehem! Linel...(Whispers) Will get a special price!" (Pol)
"Voting will end once the battle starts. Those who vote after the battle won't be counted. So if you want to participate, vote now!" (Meirin)
This is getting... I don't know... Weird?
Anyway, I went to the center of the battle field where uncle Huck and another normal looking guy that I'm too lazy to describe are waiting.
Behind the normal looking guy is a bunch of big blue metallic square containers which I'm curious about.
As I approach the two, uncle Huck started instructing us the same way he did yesterday.
I don't need to go over the details.
After he had instructed us, he went towards the audience seat.
While me and my opponent are waiting for the go signal, I call out to him.
"Umm... Hey?"
"Don't talk to me you retard, you will make me go stupid!"
Why am I being called a retard again?
Not that I'm offended by it since it's an insult that a 12 year old would do to taunt their opponents online in Call of Rookie, it's just that, don't he have any better insults?
I couldn't help but to sigh.
"Sigh!"
"What's wrong? You nervous that you are about to piss yourself?"
The boy tries to taunt me.
I know he is trying but man, I bet a 12 year old can do better than him.
I feel sorry for him, maybe I should give him a lesson or two on how to taunt people.
I decided to answer him back to give him a lesson.
"I thought my retardedness will make you stupid? Why are you talking to me all of a sudden, you want to become stupid?"
"Shut up you retard!"
He refuted me in anger.
Looks like he still didn't learn.
I guess the only way to make him learn is to point it out.
"Is that the best insult you can do? Retard? I bet a 12 year old could do better than that."
"I'm going to make you regret ever saying that!"
Looks like he gave up on insulting and just went for threats which is definitely a weak move since he has nothing else to say other than to threat.
I gave up on trying to teach him how to insult and just brush him off.
"Yeah... Yeah... Whatever you say..."
Tooooot*
The buzzer has now sounded signaling the start of the fight.
I quickly went into a fighting stance and execute a back step to give us some space.
Suddenly, the metallic containers behind him starts shaking.
Is this bad news or good news?
What should I do then?
Attack him now or wait till something comes out of those containers?
I decided to wait and see what's inside that container since it's not wise to attack blindly without knowing what my opponent has up his sleeves.
I took few more steps back to distance myself from him.
Suddenly, a bunch of little black creatures burst out of the container.
I look at them closely and found out that those black little creatures are actually rats.
I couldn't help but to express myself.
"What the hell?"
The horde of rats rushes towards me like those medieval soldiers at war in those ancient themed movies.
I don't know how should I handle this so I decided to run first.
As I was running, I could hear my opponent burst into an evil laugh while saying...
"That's it! Run you retard! Run!"
He kinda reminds me of an evil villain in a retro superhero movie.
If only he's wearing a stupid looking costume, he would fit the picture.
I'm getting tired of running now.
How do I get rid of this horde of rats?
I started thinking of possible solutions while running.
I could always blast them away but if I do that, a frightening scene awaits me.
I surely don't want to see bloody burned corpses of rats.
It will spoil my appetite.
Electrify them?
That could work, but another frightening scene awaits me.
I surely don't want to see toasted corpses of rats.
Damn it!
Why does he have to use rats of all creatures?
If it were bugs, I would have no problem killing them.
I know what to do!
I stop running and turn towards the horde of rats.
After I turn towards them, I clench my right fist and prepare to execute a compressed air punch.
As soon as the horde of rats are in my range, I executed the attack.
Bam* Woosh*
The rats who got caught up in the attack flew away towards the audience.
Bam*
Since there's an invisible glass that is shielding the audience, the rats slams right at it and slips down the glass.
I could hear the audience screaming.
"Eeeeeeew!"
"Urrrrr!"
"Gross!"
I ignore the audience's complain and continue punching the horde of rats with compressed air.
Bam* Woosh* Bam* Woosh* Bam* Woosh* Bam* Woosh* Bam* Woosh*
While I was busy fending off the horde of rats and the audience are screaming in disgust, my opponent is in distress while screaming...
"My babies!"
I express my thoughts to him.
"Well, that's your own damn fault for using them as a weapon."
Bam* Woosh* Bam* Woosh* Bam* Woosh*
"That's it!"
Is he fed up or something?
"Come my babies! Let us combine and use the power of friendship!"
Did he just say the power of friendship?
What in the actual fu- I mean, shit biscuits!
The horde of rats suddenly moves away from me and head towards my opponent.
As the horde of rats approaches my opponent, they engulf him like a big wave who just victimized a surfer.
After he was engulfed by the horde rats, they arrange themselves on him and took a form of a giant black monster.
Now that's just gross.
The giant black runs towards me and tries to crush me with its right hand.
Squeek* Squeek* Squeek* Thud*
I was able to dodge it by synthesizing an air booster on my left hand that pushes me sidewards.
After that, I quickly clench my right fist and execute a compressed air punch on the black monster's right sides.
Bam* Woosh*
The rats were blown away which made a gap.
Squeek* Squeek* Squeek*
The rats rearrange themselves to fill in the gap.
After that, the monster tries to sweep me away with its right hand.
I saw that coming and synthesize a compressed air on my feet which exploded and sends me up high in the air.
Woosh*
While I was up high in the air, I synthesize a compressed air on my left foot and execute an axe kick on it's head.
Bam* Woosh*
The rats flew away from the monster because of the impact and I was sent flying backwards while spinning like a shuriken crazily.
Now I'm dizzy.
I shouldn't have done that.
Since I don't know which is up and down, I wasn't able to hit the brakes and I slam right into the glass that's shielding the audience.
Bam*
And collapse towards the floor face front afterwards.
Thud*
My barrier was reduced to 60% because of that.
"Ooh that gotta hurt!" (Pol)
Actually it doesn't since the barrier absorbed the impact.
If there wasn't I would be probably be suffering from fatal injuries.
I stood up and slowly regain my composure.
I feel like I wanna puke.
"Rewind!" (Meirin)
Suddenly, a video footage of me spinning crazily and slamming into the glass is being showed on the screens.
The audience started bursting into laughter as they watch the video footage.
I ignore them and look towards my opponent.
The rats are in the middle of rearranging themselves to form a head.
This is my chance to attack, but I'm to dizzy to even move.
Heck! I couldn't even stand straight.
So I use this chance to think on how to defeat that thing.
Let's see...
First things first, how does my opponent control those rats?
There are possible ways of controlling them by training them like a dog or some kind of device to mind control them.
Sadly, my opponent isn't wearing a mind control looking device nor its possible to train all those rats.
So how does he do it?
Brainwaves?
I never heard that you could use brainwaves to mind control people.
As for animals, it might be possible.
If that's the case, how do I stop it?
It's either I knock my opponent out or paralyze them by zapping their brains.
Knocking my opponent out it's impossible right now.
As for zapping the rats' brains, I need intense concentration in order to control the voltage so I won't accidentally fry their brains and kill them at the process.
So what now?
...
Wait a minute!
I saw in a horror movie once that a guy was able to fend of a rodent monster using a certain frequency.
The guy did it by using an electric guitar that is plug into an amplifier and made a high pitch sound.
I wonder if I can use that?
The rat are almost done rearranging themselves which gives me no choice but to act quickly.
I spot one of the speakers that is near the near me and increase the voltage of electricity ten folds using atomic synthesis.
Bzzzzt*
As a result, the speaker short circuited and exploded which create a high pitch sound.
Boom* Creeeeeeeeek*
Me and the audience cover our ears as a respond to the sound.
Suddenly, the rats falls of the black monster like a bunch of dead flies.
I didn't expect that outcome.
I look towards the fallen rats, and they were squirming which means that they're still alive.
Soon after, the black monster's figure deforms and all the rats fall to the ground.
My opponent who is standing on a pile of paralyzed rats is looking at me with full of fear.
Don't tell me that's all he got?
How lame!
I run towards him and he starts running away while screaming like a little girl.
I chase him around for few minutes and was able to catch up to him.
As I was near him, I tackled him and we both fall down towards the floor.
I didn't stop there and pin him down.
After I pin him done, electrocuted him till his barrier's life gauge reaches zero.
As soon as his barrier shattered, I stop electrocuting him.
Tooooot*
The buzzer has sounded signaling the end of the fight.
I could hear screams and cheers coming from the audience.
I ignore whatever to commentators are saying, got up and head towards the exit.
The aftershock of my dizziness gave me an intense migraine.
As soon as I go back to my room, I'm calling it a day.
