Chapter 79

After a short moment, Yuji managed to get to the center of the wide field, where a warehouse was placed.

"A warehouse in the middle, does this mean there is more than one specialized weapon inside?"

Yuji opened the door and went inside, "Woah! This place is..." As he looked around, he noticed the place was filled with shelves and multiple weapons,"

As he continues to search, Yuji saw a sign above him saying "high-grade weapons,"

"High-grade weapons.... that means what's in here are weapons with special caliber... Can be used by S class and can be extremely useful, for something like this to be placed at the end... could it be..."

Meanwhile at the stadium, "wooh! Things seem about to heat up! With that, a word from our organizer!"

Liz grabbed the mic, "reminder! Causing fatal damage to a fellow student will mean disqualification, more or less kill them,"

The speaker rang, ending the transmission.

Yuji suddenly felt alert, as his instincts indicated danger.

"Yuji..." Alicia said.

"I know, something is off... And for her to make a reminder by this time..."

Suddenly, the walls crashed as the ground cracked.

CRASH*

Earlier, at the stadium.

"That's all, thank you," the staff said, walking away from Layla and Erina.

Erina looked at the screen with a worried expression, "what happened?"

Layla glances, "hmm? His been kneeling like that for a while,"

Yuji stood up, walking with shivering legs.

"And there goes our bold man, after jumping off a building, he now walks slowly with shaking legs!"

The crowd laughed.

"Jumped off a building!?" Erina said.

"Eh!? Aren't the buildings around there all so tall? Or does the camera angles not get all of it?"

"The camera angles cover it all," Gabriela said, walking towards them, with Yukina beside her.

"M... Ms. Gabriela!?" Layla said, "oh! And Yukina too!"

They both smiled.

Gabriela glanced at the massive screen, "anyway, all the buildings around that area are at least ten floors tall,"

"Ten..." Erina said sounding worried, "I thought he said he wouldn't be reckless,"

"That was a pretty bold move by him actually, it's like he was showing off,"

Yukina giggled, "I didn't think he was that kind of person, maybe he forgot he was being watched?"

"By the way, what are you two doing here?" Erina asked.

"We're here to watch, I can do whatever I want," Gabriela said.

"Then shouldn't you be up there by the audience area or a VIP room or something,"

"I already said, didn't I? I can do whatever I want," Gabriela said in a smug tone.

"Eh!? Seems like we have a guest of honor here today! Everyone let's greet the princess herself!"

A drone approached Gabriela, as the big screen displayed her.

The audience clapped.

"I knew this would happen," Gabriela said looking at Yukina.

Yukina pulled out a mic from her mechanical bag, "here you go,"

Gabriela took the mic and turned it on, "ehem! Thank you, everyone!" She greeted, the audience roared.

"I'm thankful for the greeting, but can you switch the camera back? I'm just here to watch so don't mind me," Gabriela smiled.

"Can do, ma'am!" The commentator said, putting the screen back to normal.

"Thank you!" Gabriela said, turning off the mic.

"Just like a kid asking to turn on the TV...." Layla thought with a blank expression.

"Wooh! looks like things are heating up from other perspectives too! Battles are happening from all over the area!" The commentator said.

Suddenly, a drone took notice of someone on top of a building.

"Hearing from the speakers of this place, they said that the guy inside that area right now just jumped from a building," Jack said looking down on the warehouse in the middle of the massive area, standing on top of the tall building, "I won't fall behind, whoever that show off is,".

Jack then jumped off the building.

"He jumped! Seriously, the students in this generation are so bold!" The commentator said.

CRASH*

With a serious look in his eyes, Jack looked straight at the warehouse.

Yuji suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Liz quickly grabbed the mic.

"Looks like the things are heating up!" The commentator looked at Liz, "with that being said, a word from our organizer!"

"I didn't think I have to say this, but I'm going to say it anyway. Dealing fatal damage to a fellow student will result in disqualification, more or less killing them," Liz ended the transmission.

Jack smiled, "it's fine... Someone who just jumped from these tall buildings..." He raised his foot, "shouldn't take a fatal damage from this!" He quickly dropped his foot on the ground.

Dropping his foot on the ground with force, the ground waved as if it's water, in a single direction, aiming for the warehouse where Yuji was in.

CRASH*

The crowd was shocked.

"S... Such destructive power!"

Layla and Erina looked worried, as Yukina and Gabriela watched seriously.

"If I'm right, then what's inside that place are high-grade weapons... Unlike the class-based weapons, the high-grade weapons will just depend on compatibility, and depending on who's hand it is in, it could become trouble..." Jack thought.

Yuji slowly tried to get up from the debris on top of him, being buried by the fallen building, "and if someone were to know that knowledge... And if I'm right about the way the specialized weapons are set, then it would make sense for someone to try and get here as fast as they could," Yuji thought.

Jack stood still, observing the area with caution, "I've been to two warehouses already and got myself two specialized weapons, my ability to raise the ground and lift myself up helped me get through the battle areas without a scratch... So there's a high chance I'm right about this,"

Looking carefully at the area from afar, Jack noticed a small movement.

"Stop pretending and get out of there!" Jack shouted, stomping his foot, bringing another wave of the ground towards his direction.

Yuji felt the danger and immediately dashed away from the area.

Crash*

Debris of the fallen building went flying.

"So there he is... He seems familiar," Jack said, not being able to recognize him due to the distance, "whatever..."

Jack once again stomped his feet, bringing wild waves of the earth towards Yuji's direction.

"Not giving me a break, aren't you?" Yuji thought.

"I got this! I've been to a situation like this before when I fought someone who can manipulate the ground,"

"I guess I'll ask for the story later, are we going to sync?"

"LET'S DO IT!"

Yuji's eyes shined bright red, charging towards the waves of earth going wildly towards him.

"There might be other battles happening, but right now, I'm captivated by our two bold students at the end of the map!" The commentator said, "look at him! Charging towards those attacks!"

"It's not only him..." Liz said, "most of the people at the stadium seems to be looking mostly at them, myself included,".

Layla, Erina, and Yukina reacted with shock, seeing Yuji dodging through the multiple waves of the ground.

Layla glances around, "Yuji sure has become someone more amazing," she said, noticing Gabriela's face, she looked at her with worry, "miss Gabriela?"

Gabriela looked way more shocked than anyone, "those moves... Why... why... those moves..." she thought, with shrunken eyes itching for answers.

Gabriela smiled hiding her emotions, "my tummy hurts... I'm going to go to the bathroom for a second,"

Yukina looked, "ah! Then I'll..."

"No, you can stay there and watch, tell me what happened when I'm back, ok?"

"S... sure,"

And so, Gabriela ran towards the exit of the stadium.
