In Afilya Town with Kycer~ part 2/3

"Why not, I already felt refreshed minutes ago! Let's go already!" I held his hand and ran through the crowds.

While walking through the crowds, we saw an anonymous crowd located in the sides, so we got curious. When we saw, it was an arm-wrestle fight. The crowd was cheering and kept shouting names of those they expect to win, we joined too. After the fight finished another match was made. They were both muscular and big people so it was hard to tell which one is going to take the victory and price money.

"place your money now!" the host shouted as he wiggled a cap to the crowds. People started putting money where in an instant, it became full.

"Okay! On your mark, get set.... Go!" The host said while holding both of the players arms. As soon as he let go, the intense fight between the two players started, so the cheering people. In the meantime, me and Kycer made a bet too: which of the two players will win. I chose the one on the right side cause I had a saying that 'right is always right'. While Kycer chose the guy on the left side.

So after we chose our champions, we cheered loudly for the one we chose.

Minutes passed and the fight was getting more intense, the people was shouting really loud. Not until, it finished. And guess who lost the bet? Me.

'Well I think right is not always right' I thought in my mind thinking about how I lost.

Yeah! The right guy lost and I lost to Kycer. Kycer was smiling happily in front of me as if he was trying to tease me. But of course I need to face my consequences of loosing the bet; join the arm- wrestle.

I sighed deeply.

"Is there anyone there who wants to join the arm- wrestle?" asked the host.

Of course it was my time to answer. I really didn't want to, so I was hesitant. I need to face my consequences so I raised my hand slowly and said: "Me!" boldly.

Kycer on the other hand couldn't hold back his laugh. I glared at him but he still continued laughing.

I went up the stage and stand up at the center.

"Ooh~ A young lady, are you sure you want to join?" The host asked as thinking I couldn't handle it.

"Yeah~ I am sure! Why scared of getting beaten by a girl?" I replied boldly and raised my eyebrows at him.

The crowd "Oooh~ ed, loudly.

"Okay! So- is there anyone else who wants to fight this young lady here?" Asked the host from the crowds.

I looked to the crowd to see if there is anyone willing.

Until-

"Me! I would like to fight this young lady here!" A deep voice that seems to belong to a man appeared.

A man that seems to be in his mid- thirties raised up his hands and entered the stage.

We both sat at our seats and placed our arms on the wooden table. We wrapped our hands together and looked at each other eyes.

The guy smirked. "I won't be responsible for you if something happens." He whispered.

"pfft~ We'll see." I whispered back.

"Okay! Now- place your betsss!" The host shouted and wiggled the cap in front of the audiences.

As soon as there were no more placing bets, he went to us and grabbed our arms.

He looked at both of us and said the starting line: "Ready! get set!... Goooo!"

As soon as he said 'GO!' I turned my arms faster and swiftly and that made the guy loose instantly.

The crowd hasn't even started to cheer, yet I had already defeated the guy who is 5 times more bigger than me.

The crowd, host and even Kycer dropped their jaw and produced nothing but silence when they saw what I did. I felt uncomfortable with all of those gazes pointed at me.

"Uhmm~ I won? hehe? I said awkwardly.

Then the crowd suddenly started cheering, I was shocked.

"Wow! You're moves are swift." The guy said as he was stretching his arms from pain.

I requested if I can fight one more time, and they agreed.

Big guys volunteered to fight me, they all looked down on me, but in the end they lost. Me and Kycer was engulfing with coins.

Until this last one, A man in a black coat suggested to fight with me.

His face was covered with a mask so I hardly saw his whole face, but his gentle yet deep voice was very familiar. But I couldn't remember where I heard it.

We just got on with the match but more surprising things happened.

As the host finished saying the starting line, I tried to do the same with what I did to the others. I turned my hands fast and swift but he still managed to caught up with it.

Our hands, tightened around them. We were both struggling.

"Shit." I whispered.

"You know- You're quite strong for a girl, aren't you?" The man said.

"Oh Yeah?" I smiled.

"But you'll never be able to defeat me! cause you're still too weak." He said belittling me.

Those words triggered my inner sanity. I hated being called 'weak' I slowly looked up to his face and glared at his eyes. His face was covered by his mask and he's wearing a hood; but only his eyes was able to be seen.

As soon as I glared at him, a familiar feeling swelled up my body and felt butterflies on my stomach.

'I don't know if it's just me, but I think his eyes are familiar and... pretty.' I thought in my mind didn't feel that I am loosing my sense. There's a strange energy coming from those deep shiny blue eyes that made my face calm down.

The background was audible, I can't hear anything nor feel. I feel like it's only me and him, in a strange dimension and only stared at each other. But I only thought about one thing, we both felt warm.

Not until- I snapped out from reality, it was like breaking the invisible wall that made me loose my sense. I remembered what he said. "you're weak!" it echoed in my mind.

I tightened my grip and gathered the magical force I have inside me to one place: my arm. Then I inhaled... and exhaled.

I looked at the man opposite me and smirked.

With all my strength, I forcefully turned my arm to his side.

The scene was in slow motion.

'swooosh' the wind produced as I swiftly moved my arms.

A Golden energy can be seen.

In a second, the table was shattered into pieces. The people watching, was slowly being shocked. And the man came flying down the stage, to the crowds. He flew into the middle of the crowds and hit dozens of people watching.

"Aahhh!" (man 1 shouted)

"Kyaa!" (man 2 shouted)

"Oww!" (man 3 shouted)

And so on,

After that, my hand was trembling and felt numb.

I panted really hard.

Not until I realized what has just happened.
