บท 27: Surprise! Surprise!
Rin almost became 2d from the shock. His mouth were wide open while his whole body froze.
Elihim's eyebrows furrowed. When he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Rin.
"No, no, I'm not scared or something like that. I just thought that it was too sudden."
Elihim released his "angered" face, "Actually, I am too feel this is too sudden."
'Huh? Then why do it?', Rin complained in his mind.
Elihim glanced at him, "I never thought that having a disciple would be too bothersome and since you're quite special, I will skip a few steps.", He gestured his hand, pinching in the air and swiping it.
"So I'm your first?"
"Yeah, yeah, you're my first."
Rin got a bit embarrassed, "So I'm Master's first."
"Hey, don't say it like that while making that expression.", Elihim said with cold eyes.
"Master, is this the Hidden World you are talking about?", Rin asked while his attention was diverted by the two men fighting the cage.
It might seem boring by their lousy punches and gasping faces but when you their hot eyes, you will notice that there is a relentless will that's been driving them to continue. Blood was rushing to their body, obvious from the redness of their naked top.
Rin didn't know how long had they've been there but he knew that they are even close to finishing the match. Their punches may seemed lousy but the strength behind it, Rin couldn't even compare to. But the strange part was, Rin doesn't feel any Natural Energy coming from them. It might be that their Natural Energy's manipulation are just too weak or Rin is too far to sense it but either way even his instinct was active and it was telling him that they have no Natural Energy.
"Yes, this is the Hidden World. To be exact, part of the Hidden World.", Elihim explained, "The Hidden World can be everywhere, it may be underground, deep in the forests, or even islands that aren't drawn on the map purposively, there are even underwater and caves. Every places that mortals rarely go or even forbids them to are all part of the Hidden World if it was used by people that has the knowledge of the Natural Energy."
"Who's exactly are those people who's been controlling the Hidden World?", Rin asked while watching the blood-boiling exchanges.
"Remember the manuals that I told you earlier?"
Rin nodded to that question.
"Those manuals were in the possession of 'Great Masters' to study and teach them to their disciples. These Great Masters are the main head of the four factions in the Hidden World. I say, these factions are bigger than much countries in the whole world."
Rin was surprised when he learned how big the Hidden World is.
"How can they remain hidden if they are that big?"
"Well, most people that have high positions are already part of the four factions that it was quite easy to hide it."
"What are these fou-!", Rin stopped and abruptly turned his gaze inside the cage. He had a familiar feeling. It was the feeling when he started to absorb this Natural Energy.
A thump was heard and a blood was splashed on the ground. One of the fighters was sent flying and landed on the edge of the cave. His red eyes were rolled back, blood was drooling out of his lips, and a red palm mark can be seen caved directly in his chest. Faint smoke floated from the red mark.
On the other side of the cage was the fighter who was brutally responsible for that. His body has a faint blue glow. His breathing was stable, making him recover little by little. The fighter was still in his last position he left when he threw the terrifying palm attack. While his palm still had smoke floating from it.
His gaze was abnormally blood-thirsty. After a while, he stood straight and had a wicked smile on his face. Just from the looks, people would normally fear him but the few audience have only eyes of boredom.
Only one guy with glasses in a proper suit and tie reacted. He stood and clapped his hands, "That was wonderful!"
The scary fighter glared at the casual guy with glasses.
Ignoring the frightening glare, the guy with glasses continued, " I now officially conclude this match as your, Dragger's 5th consecutive victory!"
Rin on the side, commend this guy's bravery. However, out of expectations, the scary fighter bowed to him, "Thank you, Mister Yita!"
"Ah!", Rin reacted lowly, 'So he's someone important? That the intimidating guy had to bow to him? Well, judging from what he said earlier, he must be some kind of an overseer of this match.', Rin though while he smoothly rubbed his chin like an old man.
"Mister Yita, I can still continue and bring you a 6th consecutive victory!", the fighter proudly announced.
Mister Yita nodded in agreement, he turned to the few crowds and asked in a loud voice, "Is there someone who likes to challenge?"
Mister Yita searched in the audience to see that only one raised his hand. "Sir, you may freely enter the cage now.", he made an inviting gesture.
Rin saw that Mister Yita was looking in their direction. He looked left and right to see who's raising their hand only to realize that it was his ow master.
"Master, are you going to participate?", Rin asked in a whispering voice.
"Hah? Didn't I just mentioned that you are the one participating?", Elihim said like it was a matter of act.
Rin pointed himself, "Me?", then he pointed to the fighter who was glaring at them, "And him?"
"Of course, who else would you pick?"
"Sir!? Are you really going to participate?", Mister Yita had started to doubt if they are truly going to participate or if they are changing their minds.
"Yes, this guy here is.", Elihim said not loudly but it was heard by the whole audience.
It brought the attentions of many and others reacted, "That guy?"
"He doesn't have a single aura of a fighter though."
The audience started whispering but stopped a moment later because they can't really judge a person by just their outside appearance. There had been too many cases of surprises where they judge and belittle a person using their appearances.
Master Yita nodded, "Then please don't make us wait any longer."
