章 9: Underground 2
3RD pov
Arna Rhastford, stood looking at the carnage on the stage below, as she felt someone looking at her.
It wasn't like she wasn't like the normal lustful gazes that she got everyday.
It was cold,
She looked around but wasn't able to spot anyone.
"What happened?" Kelin who was standing beside her knew more than enough about her instincts.
"Just felt some coldness" she replied, staring at group four.
"Did she send someone again?" Kelin asked as Arna almost smirked.
"She has been trying to get us out of this pit, ever since we first came here"
"Aunt Fredta really won't move herself will she, good thing that promise still stands."
"Yeah we won the last fighter she sent to stop us, will she send a big burly man to beat us up this time" Arna squirmed slightly her face turning red slightly.
As Kelin made a disgusted expression,
"Seriously sis stop focusing on bullshit, and keep and eye out for that person."
"Its always bullshit for you...."
"I really do not have a intrest in your fetishes" Kelin finished only to get bonked in the head by his sister. While the siblings were arguing with each other.
Fredta was sitting in the VIP area along with Herlos, who smiling widely as the participants slaughtered each other until only seven remained standing as the gong rang out and they were led outwhile the bodies were taken care off by a bunch of mages.
"Ha ha Miss Fredta, see that is what entertainment is all about. The raw nature of humans and demi humans being unleashed unchecked" Herlos grinned as he looked towards a cold faced Fredta who ignored him.
'tch, how long do you think you can ignore me bitch, you will see it in the last round.'
The man thought as he looked down and the second group was allowed in.
And a similar story got repeated.
As the third group stepped up, along with Arna and Kelin.
Fredta tensed up a little, even though she knew they were strong enough you could never know what might happen.
The loud gong sounded out, and the match began.
Almost immediately it was a brawl as Arna jumped over a man that tried to tackle her and stabbed him right through the back of his neck,
"You are not strong enough to touch me" She said while Kelin cut through another attacker.
"Focus sis!!" He shouted while deflecting an attack only for Arna to use his head as a stepping stone and kill the previous attacker.
"I know that alright!" She spoke back as Kelin glared at her while continuing their fight.
'Ho, not bad' Adric was looking at the fight as he judged thier ability, sure enough they were fighting those on a similar power levels so even if they were getting ganged up their teamwork was good enough to get through.
Although they had some flaws that Adric was able to spot as the group began to thin down
Until finally it was the forth group,
Adric could smell the thick scent of blood, that had recently been cleaned, as he looked around,
Seven, He just needed to be there.
As the gong sounded and everyone rushed at each other and Adric stood at the edge away from the fighting entering stealth.
And in all that commotion nobody noticed him except Fredta who was looking specifically at him, and Arna whose instincts told her to watch the masked guy.
'Smart play..' Fredta nodded internally while Arna and Kelin watched the fight only for the slaughter to continue, until there were eight left including Adric.
As the latter casually walked forward and kicked an injured consetant off the platform into the wall which cracked as the person fell and the gong sounded.
Adric cleaned the blood that had got on his boots,
"Tch, it got dirty" he spoke as the arena turned silent since nobody had noticed his presence until now.
"Who the fuck are you!!" one of the participants shouted as Adric looked at him, he was wearing light armour while carrying a giant sword with him.
He looked wild, and from what Adric had seen it he was someone who had learnt the sword on his own, and Adric could respect that since it wasn't an easy thing to do.
but this wasn't a place to play soft.
"The fuck do you think?" He answered as the man shut up.
It was then the audience realised what had happened and a shout resonated.
"Coward!!!" and soon the entire arena was in uproar.
"Fucking snake just hid and now makes an enterance!"
"Rematch!!'
Adric just turned to the crowd, and flipped them off as their anger only grew more.
Herlos who was looking at the scene smiled slightly, an intresting induvidual had appeared.
"Raise the stakes on his fights," he replied as the servant beside him bowed and left.
While Fredta just sighed.
Kelin smirked while Arna pouted looking at the unclimatic end.
Adric looked at the crowd his smile hidden by the mask all the while they raged at him. Irritating people is fun.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The dorms were nothing but long corridors with rooms on either side,
28 rooms in total.
Of course the fights broke out for the rooms at each end since you would only need to be aware of one side of the corridor.
Adric just ignored them and walked to an empty room around the middle when he felt two figures following him.
"Can I help you with something?" Adric asked looking at the siblings.
"Did Fredta send you?" Kelin asked him as Adric looked at him.
He seemed to be the one with the higher IQ of the two.
"Maybe?" Adric replied and immeditely dodged a spear thrust.
"So you aren't completly useless," Arna spoke up as Adric looked at her,
"If you have nothing else to say, can you leave?" Adric spoke up as they stared at each other.
"Don't worry we will beat you up tommrow morning" Arna spoke up as Adric raised an eyebrow.
"Oh and what if you are not able to?"
"That won't happen, your skills are clumsy even when you were kicking that opponent off the stage. You won't be winning against us." Kelin replied as Adric just smiled.
"Let's say if I do win,then what?" Adric asked standing on the doorway while the others were fighting at the ned of the corridor.
"If you win, We will become your subordinates!" Arna jumped in immeditely as Kelin looked at her.
His sister's instincts were never wrong before.
"Alright if I lose I will follow the same." Adric replied with a slight smile on his face, he had to beat them up, but Fredta never mentioned physically or mentally.
Then he just needed to beat them up mentally.
Adric didn't sleep that night and the next day until they were rushed to the platform.
Most of the people around had formed groups and were well rested.
They came back to the platform all 28 of them, as Adric kept moving his mana as it washed away his sleepiness.
As he looked up to see the fat man again address the audience.
