Do as the Romans do (Part 2)

"Wow that was a heated battle don't ya think?" said the commentator with a flat circular metal board on his feet keeping him floating in the air.

Like a reply to his question the crowd goes wild and was yelling for another battle.

"Okay!, alright alright stop. My ears HAHAHA" He playfully said while showing a bit of his tongue.

The commentator was doing a good job as he controlled the flow and was not letting the crowds' excitement drop.

"Now for our next battle! The next contender is Boran! Hahaha yes people. Boran!, the infamous poison practitioner. I wonder what kind of poison will he show us now. Today his opponent is a mysterious mask person hiding his Identity! A newbie joining the Arena!...Smiley!"

"HoHo! the boy is next!" Garen said folding his arms and has a giant smirk on his face.

After Garen and Nicholas separated with Luke, They easily found a vacant seat which is in the middle. Not too far yet not too close. Sitting amongst the people Garen was getting a little 'bit' excited seemingly influenced by the crowd. Apparently, Nicholas was also getting affected too, but he was getting the feeling of most teachers feel when seeing their students now grown up.

---

In a dark narrow passage. A figure of Luke's muscular lean image is seen, in front of him is a rough gate made from long thick iron rods. Sunlight was penetrating through the gaps of the rods and shined the half of his body.

Magical Bag...Check.

Full of weapons...Check

Stretching...Check.

Calm and Active mind...Check.

Stomach full...Check.

Alright! Looks like I'm ready.

After waiting patiently. The gate lifted slowly telling Luke to enter. He then proceeds to walk calmly and enters.

I take a look around and see walls surrounding the whole open area and on top of those walls are stairs leading to the top but those stairs are no stairs. But seats with people watching us.

The terrain was good as it's just normal soil. Nothing too interesting, just ground. I look up and see where the blinding light was coming from.

An open roof clearly showing a clean light blue sky with puffy clouds and bright yellow sun. Because of the open roof, The cold breeze will sometimes brush me and energized my lungs.

In front of me, I see my seem to be opponent also appearing from the similar-looking passage I was. He wears a long brown cloak covering his whole body and face. His weapon is a longbow and a quiver with arrows on his back.

"Alright! The fighters looks like they're ready! as we begin the match...NOW!"

"OOOO!" The crowd went wild with him.

'Well that's unexpected' I thought listening to the commentator's sudden words. I watch my opponent grabbed an arrow and put it on the bow quickly. I stand there and watched him.

*swiss~*

I see an arrow coming to me and I dodge it by tilting my body a little to the side. But my hand catches the arrow. I look at the tip of the arrow and examine it.

There was some strange fluid smeared at the tip. I'm guessing this is the poison that the commentator was talking about.

"Oooh from the looks of it. Smiley has discovered the poison" The commentator seems to have also noticed.

"So you're going for the oldest trick in the book" I mumbled.

"If you're going for a sneaky way to win, Let's deal with you straightforward then!" I clenched all my leg muscles and exploded it all at the tip of my feet. Now let's how fast am I after doing all those 'torture'.

I don't know how far he is and I don't care. But HolyCrap! I was fast. I reached him instantly and never saw him shoot another arrow after I started sprinting. I feel like I'm free from my mortal shackles.

'As my first opponent, Haha rejoice as I give ya an airborne knock out! A brilliant idea for a debut for me~' I high kick his stomach, sending him to the air. Oh forgot I now have strong leg strength...that must have been really painful.

I leap on top of him and in mid-air, I raised my fist. Preparing for an enormous swing, I clenched all my upper muscles and rotated my body mixing it to the incoming punch I will painfully give.

When I touched the limit, I swing my whole body and targeted his head with no hesitation.

*WAK!*

*Creak!*

'Wow did I just snap his neck?'

His body began to spin and falls to the ground really hard. From out of nowhere fog or clouds started appearing and seem to be swallowing his whole body. Then it disappeared with the body.

'Is he a low tier?' I thought still stunned at the outcome I have done.

The silent crowd before had begun to yell loudly as they witness a winner.

"Brother, what was that? I didn't even see his figure?"

"And another dragon joins the ring. He didn't even show mercy and even didn't let Boran activate his ability"

"Hahaha he and that Alexandria girl will be a good duo if they teamed up"

"Congratulations to Smiley! Welcome Newbie! Ready for your next battle?" The commentator said as he floats close to me. '2 more to go' I thought as I look at the cage where my opponent will appear and I can see someone was there.

Like my mask, I made an evil smile.

"Ready"
