"Talking"
'Thinking'
*Action/Noise*
==============================
At the heat of the moment, in the battle arena where fighters fights each other off to outperform and get the attentions of the strongest familias of Orario.
In the center of the Arena, was a bloodied man who held his grounds while holding his sword. Pointed at the White haired person in front of him. Panting heavily as he tries to regain some stamina.
Gojo: "Then... Let's take this from the top, shall we!" He says as he blitzed again to the man.
Bell: "Dad! Look out!" The boy screamed in the audience.
Bell's eyes are teary and he's close to crying, Meteria is the same as she tries to hold herself together.
Both of them are worriedly calling Jason out, as his injuries gets more severe...
But how the hell did it get to this point?
15 minutes earlier.
The arena, owned by the Ganesha Familia, one of the Familias who are influential and is known for policing and largest number of member of adventurers.
People starts coming and finding their seats on the audience, anticipating the battle from many people all around the world, looking for opportunity and fame.
Meteria: "Ohh~ I like the view from here. I'm happy that the Ganesha Familia allowed us to come here." She says with a warm smile.
Alfia looks at her while knowing in her heart that she just threatened the Ganesha Familia in granting the VIP room.
Alfia: "I'm happy that you like it. It's better not to be around the people much, We don't want attention." She replied.
On the VIP room. It was Meteria, Alfia, Bell, Sophia and Europa. The two decided to come along with to guard Meteria in case something happens. There's also 4 healers from the Dian Cecht familia. Especially the Saint Doll, Airmid Teasanare.
Airmid has become Meteria's personal healer the moment her talents was discovered. She was one of the major reason why Meteria is still alive today, and manage to keep her youthful appearance despite her illness.
Sophia: "Bell~ I bought some sweets from the stalls~ I heard they're quite good and delicious." Sophia says as she handed Bell one plastic bag of Konpeito.
Konpeito is confetti star-shaped rock sugar candy. These tiny colorful candies were first introduced to the far east by accidents as Satoru tries to create some random bullshits from the kitchen.
But no one knows that it was him who invented it.
Bell: "Thank you, big sis Sophia." He replies as he hugged Sophia.
Sophia: "Ahh~"
Sophia hugged Bell back and snuggling her cheeks with him. Bell's cuteness surely conquered tons of hearts on the day of his birth. (TL: How envious)
Europa: " *Fake Cough* S-Sophia..." Europa calls her out.
Then Sophia felt the murder intent right behind her. It was coming from the biological Aunt of Bell.
Sophia: 'Uwaa... This complex woman.'
Sophia lets Bell go and gave Meteria her Konpeito as well. Alfia's intent slowly faded as Sophia hides behind Europa. Europa just smiles bitterly on the two's weird moments.
After a few more moments. The audience cheered as it is time for the awaited fight that they're looking for. Bet stands are circling the crowds as they make wages on the people who're going to be chosen on the top Familia's out there.
And coming out of one of the cages on the side of the Arena. The Gladiator has shown himself to the audience and prepares for the impending battle. Jason Cranel of the Zeus Familia!
Bell: "Mom! Look, It's Dad!" Bell points to his Father.
Upon hearing the name. Alfia, Sophia, Europa, and even the little Airmid, their faces soured as they look at the man in the stage.
Europa: "What the hell is he thinking? Does he want to show off just because he turned Level 5, 7 months ago?"
Sophia: "Well. Looks like he came overly prepared. Even brought a Magic Sword with him, look." Sophia says as she pointed at Jason's waist belt. It was a shining red short sword. Which cannot be mistaken for a normal sword.
Alfia: "I never expected anything from that trash. But bringing a magic sword is a new low for him."
Meteria: 'Mou! These girls can't just cheer Jason on! Please, Show that what you're capable of, Jason!' Meteria says in her thoughts, eyes full of determination.
While the girls are sharing their long hate for Jason. Bell was looking around the Arena, but there's something that has been taking his attention. It's like and intuition. But another attraction to a certain bars.
MC Host: "Ladies and Gentlemen! Gods and Goddess of Orario! We all welcome you to our 2nd Arena battle! Everyone was so invested, so over the edge last time this event was made! Many people all around the world competed for the first time, showing all of their worth! It's time for another!!"
Everyone cheers as the loud audience express their excitement. Alfia can't help but scratch her ears to keep the noise out.
All the
steel bars around the arena has finally opens. Many type of people slowly made their appearance and they immediately catches the eyes of the audience. It was a fight that might even be better than last time!
Then slowly walking out of his cell. A 6'3 tall white haired man came out and immediately stole the highlights of the event.
Many Goddess and Female audience squeals as they gaze upon Gojo Satoru's looks. Many of the male contestants and audience shows their hate for the handsome dude.
Gojo is wearing a tight-fitting black shirt, sports tan baggy training pants with a black belt weaved through the waist and black martial arts slippers. He was radiating with a great vibe and confidence.
Satoru: "There's only a few people here who're quite strong. That dude from the Zeus Familia, Jason was it? He's probably the third strongest here. And there's that robed man."
The bell has rang! Now every single one of the contestants are giving their all to show off and outshine every single one out there. Satoru just stood there and just watch in amusement on everyone's fighting while eating some sandwiches that he miraculously had all this time.
Jason, as the gladiator, is currently being targeted by most of the contestant in the arena. Jason is known for being just a weak supporter for the Zeus Familia. But there's no denying his skills as a Level 5... But his stats are like of a mid level 4.
Satoru: 'Wow... I've never seen someone sooo~ weak yet so lucky. I guess there are people in these world who're like that huh.' Satoru said as he chew on his sandwiches.
Then out of nowhere, a bulky man who are bulging with muscle, holding 2 huge one-handed ax aiming to beat Gojo.
Random: "YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR SURROUNDINGS!" He shouted as he swung his hands aiming for Satoru's neck.
Satoru: "You're in the way." He says as he flick his hand.
As another man fights another person, he was pulled out of nowhere in great speed and immediately collided with the big dude who was targeting Gojo.
The audience was shocked by what happened, yet no one can explain it. Satoru didn't even bother to move from his position as he stares at the Gladiator.
Jason manages to defeat 4 people so far. 1 level 3s, 2 level 2s, and 1 level 1s. It was quite sweat for Jason as he is still on the weak side. Being defeated by Boar and Little dude. He is still one of the weakest 1st class.
Jason: 'That man has been observing me for the past 3 minutes... Or it seems what he's doing, He's wearing a blindfold. Is he like Alfia? What is he doing?' Jason thoughts off as he catches his breath.
Satoru just smiled as he finally took a step forward towards Jason.
Satoru: 'I can only reveal some of my abilities to a certain extent... What abilities do I use though?' He thinks.
Then another group of people tries on sneaking up on him, aiming to take him down faster.
Satoru: 'A group? Probably from the same past Familias hoping to join in bundle... Weaklings.'
Satoru disappeared right in front of them as they've landed their attack. They're shock but couldn't react quickly as Satoru pointed his finger right in the middle of the group.
He teleported upside down right above them, mysteriously floating in the air, Satoru's finger glowed red as curse energy gathers for a strong attack.
Satoru: " (Reversal Technique: Red) "
A large explosion erupted as the group was blasted away in such great force. All of their bodies were tattered and bloodied due to the output of Red. Satoru sheepishly scratches his head, reminding himself to lower the output much more than he did.
Satoru: "Now... Should I get back to my goal?" He said as he turns his head to Jason.
Jason: "Okay. That guy is definitely like Alfia, closed eyes yet he can see me very well! He looks so dangerous!" Jason said as he went to stance nervously.
Satoru: "Hey, Jason right? I'm rather bored right now, and I say that you're the dude whose stronger than any of these people. Wanna try me?"
Jason: "N-No please, I'd rathe-"
But Jason was cut short as Satoru dashed to him, appearing as if he teleported beside him. Satoru punches Jason in the face, causing him to went down. But Jason quickly recovered and rolled away.
Satoru stomps on the ground, playfully lagging behind to tense Jason up. Then Jason threw some kind of orb thing in the air in front of Satoru. With one look, Satoru immediately knew what it was, but he just smiles as the orbs exploded.
Jason: "Inferno bombs. I was allowed for extreme use only, but looks like I went too far!" He panickily says as he figures out what to do.
..
Bell: "Ohh! Dad has inferno stones on him!" Bell said with excited eyes.
Meteria: "I hope that he doesn't get himself too hurt! That punch was solid, I don't want it to ruin his face." Meteria says as both of them cheers Jason.
Alfia, who would've commented on Jason's looks with disdain without any hesitation, was just staring at the white haired man that started to attack Jason.
Sophia and Europa was just looking as well, and it seems like they all have one thing in mind.
Alfia: 'KILL HIM'
Sophia: 'KILL HIM'
Europa: 'KILL HIM'
..
Satoru: "Exploding stones? I'm familiar with this kind of stuffs, Ya know? Been trying to assassinate me using this." Satoru says as he waves the smoke away as he walks out of it.
Jason was confused, That was 4 inferno bombs and it didn't even leave a single scratch on him, walking out of the smoke unscathed without even a dirt in his clothes.
Jason: 'He's... So damn cool, I wish I could pull that off.' He thought as he envy the white haired man.
Satoru: "Look alive!" Satoru alerted him back.
Then Satoru grabs him by the collar and sweeps his feet, making Jason lose balance, then proceed to throw him to a nearby adventurer. Blasting the both of them down.
Jason immediately tries to stand up, but Satoru just stomped him back at the ground, then kicked him in the stomach, knocking him back. Jason was being beaten and is losing his strength at a tremendous rate.
Jason: 'This man is dangerous!' He deliberated.
He must get away from him as fast as he can and regain some of his strength and just fight his way till the timer runs out. But just then, another contestant dashed and immediately aimed for Satoru's head.
MC Host: "OHH! Jason of the Zeus Familia was getting beaten up by the contestant, Satoru Gojo! Then, in the heat of the moment, another contestant dashed in and tried to stab Satoru Gojo right in his face!"
But the spear was immediately stopped within 3 inches to Satoru's head. The man was surprised! He tried to push it in even further, but it was nothing. He can fell like he is touching something the same that he feels he doesn't.
Satoru: "Ah, Aren't you the cat that has been following that Syr girl around earlier? She sent you to try me huh." Satoru replied as he grabbed the spear.
He then, with great strength, twist the spear and got the cat lose his grip on it. Then Satoru aimed and threw it to the same cat who barely dodged it.
Satoru: "Ha! You're gonna need more than that to actually beat me, you know. All of your moves are so sloppy that I can even read them with my eyes closed."
MC Host: "OH!!!! The disrespect from the white haired man! Even while wearing a blindfold, he doesn't seems to be affected by it and proceeds to fight of 2 strong players here in the arena! Has this happened before in the last event?! I think not!"
Satoru, using Blue, pulled Jason as he tries to sneak away and threw him to the robed cat man. The cat man simply kicked Jason away but saw nothing in front of him... Then dashing to his side, Satoru delivers a strong punch to the Catman's left side flank area.
Blasting the man to Jason, who just hit the ground after getting thrown around like a ball. Satoru pointed his finger at the two of them, this time lowering his curse energy output.
Satoru: " (Reversal Technique: Red)! " Satoru chanted as he shoots off Red to the two.
And in the point of contact. Satoru walks slowly as the smoke covers the two.
Satoru: " Looks like I'm still gonna need to lower it down huh. But, I guess using that cat person was a heat of the moment call for you." He said as he smirks.
The smoke slowly clears as it is shown that Jason, using the black haired cat man as a meat shield for the impact of RED.
..
Meteria: "Jason! Get out of there quickly! Alfia, please stop the fight! This can't go any further!" Meteria begged Alfia.
Bell did the same as he grabbed Alfia's skirt, trying to convince her quickly.
Alfia is still on her "Death to Jason" mindset, but hearing the pleadings of the two made her act. She broke the glass of the VIP room and rushed to the arena, following her, Sophia and Europa ran as well.
At the heat of the moment, in the battle arena where fighters fights each other off to outperform and get the attentions of the strongest familias of Orario.
In the center of the Arena, was a bloodied man who held his grounds while holding his sword. Pointed at the White haired person in front of him. Panting heavily as he tries to regain some stamina.
Gojo: "Then... Let's take this from the top, shall we!" He says as he blitzed again to the man.
Bell: "Dad! Look out!" The boy screamed in the audience.
Bell's eyes are teary and he's close to crying, Meteria is the same as she tries to hold herself together.
Both of them are worriedly calling Jason out, as his injuries gets more severe...
But before making contact to Jason, getting ready to deliver the finishing punch.
