Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Chapter 275 Tania's Fetish (Part 2)

After signing up, they were given a small piece of paper with a tournament table on it. Acht counted 10 rounds just for someone to reach the final.

In each round, there wasn't only fighting but other challenges too. For instance, it could be a mere chess game or it could be a death battle. The one that will decide what kind of face-off it will be is a roulette hanging on the wall with a guard beside it ready to spin the wheel with a mere sign.

Acht was actually quite glad that it wasn't mere brainless fighting but he didn't get how these battle junkies will enjoy a chess game or a table tennis match. He didn't care much though since he will steamroll to the final and get the necklaces.

"You're the first one, Tania. Take care of yourself and don't do anything reckless." Acht said as he patted her on the head.

Tania purred slightly as she enjoyed his touch before smiling sweetly at him and walking to the edge of the arena.

A commentator stood in the middle of the arena with a microphone in his hand.

"LAAADDDIIESSS AND GENTLEMAN!!! ARE YOU READYYYYYY???" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Cheers and whistles erupted all at the same time. People were hyped beyond belief as they anticipated what was going to happen.

'This is going to be entertaining at least.' Acht thought to himself as he crossed his arms and watched silently.

"ON ONE SIDE, WE HAVE A SUPERSTAR!!! HE IS ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS FIGHTS THAT GRACED OUR ARENA!!! THHHHHE CRAACKER!!"

Acht felt his mouth twitch when he heard the name and an urge to laugh loudly assaulted him. The name was just very funny in his ears. It sounded like some kind of corny name a wrestler would use back in his old life.

Now, his interest peaked as he waited for the cracker to appear. But, when he was waiting for the grand reveal of this fighter, Acht's memory started working again and he started to recall bits and pieces of the story.

'Wait, I recall that name. The cracker, the cracker, the cracker…. Ah!!' His eyes widened as he recalled who the cracker was.

Acht could only shake his head with a sigh.

'That bitch hates me for sure. She just wants to see me deal with headaches. I barely fucking met that bastard a few hours ago!!' He thought to himself as he cursed at a particular woman.

He could imagine her giggling now as she watched him and he could only click his tongue and deal with the problem without ruining the fight.

Then, the cracker finally appeared, he was of average height and wore a mask on his face with no particular features on it. He also wore a cape on his neck that extended to the end of his back.

'Damn! He looks edgy as fuck!' Acht massaged his nose after taking a glimpse of the fighter. It was already obvious who it was.

The protagonist, Arthur was the cracker. It was a name he chose for himself before entering this underground fighting arena.

His goal was to 'beat bad guys' and 'train harder to gain combat experience.' They were all stupid reasons in Acht's point of view since he was also helping in making this kind of illegal bussiness bloom even more.

But, since he was basically crippled mentally, Arthur couldn't see that glaring flaw in his reasoning.

"ON THE OTHER SIDE IS OUR SECOND FIGHTER!!! A SUPER ROOCKY WITH AN UNKNOWN FACE. THIS FIGHTER IS KNOWN AS DELTA!!"

Fewer cheers came in compared to Arthur but Acht didn't care at all.

Acht then looked at Tania who seemed to also have recognized Arthur and was now gazing at Acht. The two shared their thoughts with a mere glance and Acht nodded at her.

She easily understood what he meant and she shifted her gaze back to the fight.

"NOOOWWW!! WE WILL SPIN THE WHEEL!!! JHONNY, DO IT!!"

The guard named Jhonny spanned the wheel and everyone cheered as they watched it turn at a gradually slowing speed.

Then, the wheel finally stopped 30 seconds later.

"OH!! HOW LUCKY! WE WILL START THIS TOURNAMENT WITH A BANGER! A DODGE BALL GAME!!"

'A dodgeball game? Are they some kind of high schoolers?'

But, he knew that this will never be a normal dodgeball game. What's the thrill in it if it doesn't have a 'twist'?

"FOR THE NEWCOMERS!! THE GAME IS SIMPLE. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THE DODGE BALL RULES ARE SO WE WON'T SPEAK ABOUT THAT! OUR ONLY TWIST IS THAT THE BALL IS FILLED WITH EXPLOSIVE BOMBS AND SHARP BLADES!! THE MOMENT IT TOUCHES THE TARGET…. BOOOM!!" The smile on the man's face made him look even more creepy.

(A//N: I changed the dodgeball's rules slightly so don't expect a perfect game. Enjoy!)

Acht knew that it will be like that but he still could only sigh with a tinge of worry in his eyes. He had no reason to worry about Tania since she was more than capable of taking care of herself. But, still, he couldn't just feel nothing about this deadly game.

The cracker didn't show any reaction at the game and merely eyed his opponent.

"EVERYTHING IS ALLOWED AS ALWAYS!! NOW, LEEEEEEET'S BEGINN!!"

Instantly, one ball fell from the ceiling right in the middle of the room and kept bouncing slightly. Arthur and Tania didn't wait and ran to the ball at their fastest speed.

The crowd blinked their eyes at their speed since it appeared as nothing but a blur to them. They didn't even leave an afterimage behind them.

Tania was the fastest so she reached the ball first and grabbed it before jumping back. While mid-air she span twice and launched the ball in Arthur's direction.

A strong gush of wair assaulted the people around the arena as the ball flew at top speed toward Arthur.

21:30

The latter didn't seem to be that scared of the ball, he simply put his hands in front of him.

The clash between the ball and his arms made him slide on the ground a few feet behind but it didn't knock him out of balance.

The ball eventually lost momentum and stopped completely.

The commentator finally regained his composure and shouted.

"THAT WAS A FAST START!!! DELTA TOOK THE BALL FIRST AND BLASTED THE BALL TOWARD CRACKER WHO CAUGHT IT EASILY!!! WHAT A SHOW!!"
