Dragger sweated and looked at Mister Yita while frowning but without any warning, the bell rang and in front of Dragger was Paul who was glowing blue and whose fist was already in contact with his stomach.
Dragger's eyes widened as he threw some saliva. Paul was already away when Dragger threw up and was forced to kneel on the ground, looking unwell.
Mister Yita who was outside the cage sweated. He knew that Mr. Tong was using this chance to promote his son's debut further by getting the impressions of the crowd. Everyone will look at Paul as the one who stopped Dragger's consecutive wins.
Mister Yita took a glimpse at the VIP box and saw that Mr. Tong glaring at him as if threatening him. Mister Yita took a huge gulp and was getting anxious. Paul may go too far and injure Dragger for the sake of showing his strength as a Natural Energy Practitioner at Second Stage of Focus. Mister Yita knew that the possibility of that weren't small.
He worriedly looked inside the cage and felt like Paul was already to the point where he was playing Dragger.
He bit his teeth and there's nothing he could do.
"Mister Yita…"
He looked beside him to see who called him and saw a man in a hood with a facemask on…
"Yes!! Finally, I'm in the Colden Cage Arena. After this, I'll be sure to get into the Colden Institute even without my father's recommendation. Hihihi!! All these years of hardship aren't for… naught!", Paul sharply laughed as he kneed Dragger in the face.
When Paul's body glowed blue again and was about kick Dragger with all he got but was interrupted when he heard, "We surrender!"
Paul stopped his control over the Natural Energy, he looked and saw Mister Yita clenching his hand on the cage and then looked at Mr. Ton in the VIP box who nodded back at him with a smile.
Paul smiled and said as his body glowed blue again, "Wait, just a few hits more."
"There's a new challenger!!", Mister Yita yelled as soon as possible but Paul ignored it and raised his foot, ready to hit Dragger.
Whoosh-! Pa!* Paul's eyes widened when he saw a pair of golden eyes under the shadow of the hood.
His foot was blocked by two stacked arms. Paul immediately removed it and put him on guard. At the same time, the golden eyes disappeared.
Even Mr. Tong was surprised and when he realized the face mask, he got confused and thought, 'Who really is this kid?', but he smirked, 'Hah! Now that he became a challenger. Nobody's going to complain if we hurt him a little even if he has a huge background!'
"Mister Yita, care to explain who's the challenger?", Mr. Tong casually spoke but inside, he was excited to know who this kid really is.
Mister Yita gulped and replied, "The new challenger is… is Rin! Rin Gotha!"
"Rin!", Mr. Tong sharply whispered as he formed a huge smile and said, "And?"
"And??", Mister Yita couldn't follow.
Mr. Tong furrowed a bit and repeated, "And?!", but Mister Yita couldn't reply, "And?!! What's his background?!"
Mister Yita understood but was confused why he asked that, "Umm… ehem!.. He's Rin Gotha with no background, Mr. Tong."
Mr. Tong's eyebrow raised, 'Huh!? No background?'
Seeing Mr. Tong silent, Mister Yita continued, "This is the first time that Rin Gotha entered this arena." Mister Yita didn't lie since this arena is Level 2 and Rin only entered Level 1 back then. He didn't want to say what happened there and tell that although a complete newbie, Rin defeated Dragger. It would ruin Dragger's name completely! However, he also know that Rin has this unknown master but he kept it to himself.
Mr. Tong bit his teeth hard, 'First time?! And here I was thinking he was someone special!? Ahh!!!', although he was screaming in the inside, he spoke calmly, "Okay… Paul"
Paul looked at his father all smiley.
"Go break a leg."
Paul's smile suddenly vanished and instead, felt pressure from his father. That sound like a normal cheer from the voice only but with Mr. Tong expression, it was an order.
Paul furrowed and his eyebrows and got serious. He nodded and looked at Rin.
Without any warning again, the bell rang while the crowds were silent in intense.
However, before Paul could rush again, he stood his stance and asked, "What manual did you use to have golden eyes?", but Rin stayed silent.
Paul looked and saw that Dragger was already outside of the cage. He smiled and murmured to himself, "Then I gotta need to ask you properly, huh?" his whole body glowed blue again and he ran towards Rin with caution since he have no idea what Stage of Focus Rin is and he doubted that Rin was at the Third Stage of Focus.
Paul threw a punch when he got a close-range to Rin but Rin was able to blocked it with two arms. Paul heard Rin grunted at that time and a crack.
His eyes widened and fell back, "You, you're just at the First Stage of Focus. What are you doing?", Paul tilted his head.
Rin held his left arm in pain but he kept it in. It wouldn't heal itself since it was not life-threatening. However, he knew the feeling of getting healed by Natural Energy. He closed his eyes and it glowed gold but nobody noticed.
The fractured bone glowed blue. Rin tried not to make it obvious and apparently, he was lucky that he was wearing a hoodie with long sleeves.
He stood straight and let the healing processed. Rin sweated, he didn't know that doing it himself was tiring but he didn't show a bit of fatigue with the help of the face mask.
"I came here to workout."
"What again?", Paul asked, he didn't quite catch that, 'Workout? Is that what he said?'
"Brother, I came here to improve myself by getting advices to you, fellow practitioners.", Rin cupped his fist and bowed a bit politely. It sounded sarcastically because it is.
"Umm, okay.", Paul took it seriously and didn't how to respond, "…. Then…", His eyes rolled left and right. He sweated, unable to think what to respond. "I will advice you!", Paul assumed a stance and said something that he thought was appropriate.
Rin held his laughter from his stomach and followed Paul and assumed a stance. He then said, "I will take your advice carefully, fellow practitioner!", behind the facemask was a huge smile. Paul might be acting stupid but it was still funny how he took a sarcasm. It greatly threw what Rin's first impression of Paul off the track.
However, Rin was still in trouble. He didn't know how to deal with a Second Stage of Focus. He deeply thought how he defeated Dragger back then. How he successfully hid his [cheat].
"Oh…", Rin's smile widened and at the same time his body suddenly thrust forward and gain momentum, 'I just need to fight with all I got!' he readied his fist.
Paul just stared at him but then after observing his opponent, he closed his eyes, "I see that you're strong", Paul nodded agreeing with himself, "But only in terms of pure physical strength!", he too then punched forward in where Rin's punch was directed at while Paul's body glowed blue.
Pa!* both fist smashed to each other but Rin lost with a huge margin and bones cracked again. In this time, however , in Rin's fist before he was sent flying a meter away after the first round of exchange.
In the spectator's eyes, Rin was already a dead man. In fact, a stupide dead man. Why would he choose to fight a Second Stage of Focus Practitioner while being in the First Stage of Focus while being aware of it? However, to those who've witnessed the fight between Rin and Dragger in the Level 1 cage, they knew that the fight won't end that easily.
Only a night and day have past when they last saw this man fight. It was unexpected and blood boiling! When they heard the name Rin, a bell immediately rang inside of their head and a thought appeared in their mind, 'The Zombie!'
They kept their calm and just watched silently along with all the others who are silent too.
Inside the cage, Paul sighed while looking at the pitiful state Rin was in.
Rin held his arm, again in pain. He didn't want to show any of the abilities. The fact that he can't die if he include that as an ability but was really safe to assume that it was a cheat along the forced Natural Energy with it. He also have no idea if it was a common knowledge to direct all Natural Energy into one place to heal a specific part of the body but then again, he's the only one he saw who have done that so it is better to hide it as well.
Rin wondered one thing: He already showed his golden eyes but nobody in the stadium caused an uproar concerning that it was the Mark of a Godslayer which is a legend based on his knowledge. Paul even asked what trick it is. Rin concluded that this legend was not a common knowledge or at least, to these level. However, he chose not to reveal as much as possible.
In front of Rin, Paul sighed, "I was looking forward to show everyone my favorite skill but it looks like I wouldn't have the chance to..", he looked down on Rin but Rin didn't care since the result of the fight isn't concluded yet.
"Hehe", Rin laughed lightly, "Please continue. I still have a lot to learn.", he didn't hide his pained expression.
"Hmm, at least you have a will… But I want to show my skill to everyone so I need a much stronger opponent!", Paul didn't conserved his mentality and used Natural Energy again. As a Second Stage of Focus, it was easier to use Natural energy but it was still taxing.
Paul wanted to slap Rin on the face but Rin barely dodged it but Paul didn't stop and continued an attack after another. Rin barely dodged all of the incoming attack while being pushed back.
'Huh?', Rin realized something. There's a pattern how Paul attack. He didn't know what exactly it is but by continuously dodging, he was adapting to Paul's speed and attacks purely by body instinct. Overtime, it was getting easier to dodged.
Paul frowned and threw a kick in agitation when none of his attacks were getting in contact. That kick was out of Rin's expectations that it landed.
Paul whose getting irritated by the fact that all his attacks were useless smiled when that last hit came in direct contact, the blue glowing disappeared, "Hah!", he panted for a while and weeping his sweat, "You're one lucky bastard, aren't you?", his raised his fist and was about to attack again but Rin was fast enough to surprisingly thrust his left fist before Paul does.
Paul just looked at the incoming fist and panicked in the last second but he only closed his eyes without doing anything. Ug* Rin successfully punched his opponent for the first time!
Paul stepped back and felt pain in his stomach. He actually didn't use Natural Energy at that time but luckily, Rin was only using his left hand while his right hand was unusable.
Paul took damage. He thought that if Rin used his right fist, it'll turn much worse than just a damage. Paul glared at Rin while his body glowed blue again, "I think I shouldn't waste my time on you and show you my skill!", he frowned so much that it made his ugly.
Rin stepped back and smiled behind the facemask, 'Who would've thought that I have more experience than him?'
