Toya arrived at the apartment building, looking at it with a skeptical eye. He walked to the door and knocked on it, and someone opened it. In front of him stood a man in a full suit, staring at Toya.
"Whisper gave me this location," Toya said.
The man was skeptical of Toya, as he was just a kid. "Show me proof," the man said.
Toya handed him the paper with the location on it. The man felt the paper and then gave it back to Toya, saying, "You can enter." He let Toya into the building.
Toya entered the building and looked around, thinking that it looked like just a normal building. "Follow me," the man said.
Toya followed the man, and then he saw the man pat another guy who was also wearing a full suit to guard the door. Toya kept following until they headed to the basement. When they arrived there, Toya was a little bit surprised by the amount of space and people. It looked like a huge stadium.
There were many fighting cages, and in the middle, there were all of the spotlights. Toya followed the man, and the man walked to an old man who was wearing a yukata.
"Boss, this is a new fighter that wants to join in," the man said.
The old man was surprised to see a kid, but he didn't discriminate, as there were strong people even if they were children. "I never thought at your age, you want to enter this tournament. What is your desire for entering this tournament?" the old man asked.
"To make money," Toya replied.
The old man chuckled and said, "Great motivation. What kind of fight do you want to enter?"
"A fight that makes a lot of money," Toya said.
"Haha, I like you, kid," the old man said, pointing his hand to the monitor screen, where there was a fighter's face with a huge amount of money on it and how many win streaks. ¥2,000,000 and 5 win streaks.
Toya looked straight at the cage where the fights were happening, and it was in the middle. The one who was on the streak pummeled his opponent easily without even using his Quirk.
"Sure," Toya said.
"But first, let's register you first. What name do you want to use?" the old man asked.
"Rekka," Toya said.
"Simple but good, and your Quirk will likely be fire, right?" the old man guessed.
"Yeah," Toya said.
"Okay, get ready, as your name will be called by the announcer," the old man said, leaving Toya to prepare for his fight.
Toya take a look at the opponent that he will be fighting.
'Iron Fist, Ryuji Tanaka. I hope you live up to the name. It will be disappointed if you don't. Have some kind of physical boosting Quirk' Toya thought to himself.

The man in the full suit followed the old man, and when they arrived in the VIP room, the old man asked, "Who gave the kid this location?"
"Whisper," the man replied.
"Haha, that crazy lady. This is going to be fun," the old man said, grinning evilly. "You can go back to guarding the entrance."
The man nodded and headed back up, while the old man took a seat on his couch and watched Toya through the powered glass.
"Let's see what the crazy lady saw in you," the old man said, his eyes glinting with excitement.
Back in the fighting arena, after the opponent with the winning streak was carried out, the announcer began hyping up the next opponent. The crowd was on the edge of their seats, waiting to see who would enter the cage next.
Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and the crowd fell silent.
"Our champion has always won like usual. And today, we have an unusual opponent for our champion. Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a warm welcome to our newest fighter, the young and fiery Rekka!" The announcer's voice boomed through the stadium, causing the crowd to roar with excitement.
The spotlight shone on Toya as he made his way to the center of the cage. He looked around, taking in the crowd's energy and the atmosphere of the fighting stage. He could feel the heat of the lights on his skin, and his heart was pounding with adrenaline.
The announcer continued, "Rekka may be young, but he's got a fierce spirit and a powerful Quirk. He's here to prove himself, and he's not backing down from any challenge. This is going to be a fight to remember, folks!"
Toya stood in the cage, feeling the intensity of the moment. He was ready to throw down some hands.
The crowd shout more as there is not a lot of case where this happen.
"I'm supporting you, Rekka. Beat the shit out of the champion. I'm betting money on you" One the crowds said.
The announcer's voice boomed once again, "This is going to be a fight to remember, folks. The champion versus the newcomer. Who will come out on top? Let's find out!"
Toya and Ryuji stood in the center of the cage, staring each other down. The tension in the air was palpable, and the crowd was on the edge of their seats.
"Kid, no hate," Ryuji said, entering his fighting stance.
Toya also entered his stance, using Silat fighting stance. As he did, a few flames materialized around him, adding to the intensity of the moment.

Ryuji smiled as he saw the kid use Silat. "This is going to be great," Ryuji said to himself, feeling the excitement building inside him.
The two fighters circled each other, each waiting for the other to make a move.
