Back to the story now…

*SPLASH*

Tidal Max just used a powerful move against his opponent. The water in the virtual arena reached about 30 feet high and struck with crazy force. The Octagon that they were fighting in was hundreds of feet in diameter leaving plenty of room for both opponents to move around.

Suddenly, a spike protruded from the ground underneath Tidal Max, he digitalized instantly from where he used to stand just moments ago.

The victor? Titan. A massive man sculpted in a way that would remind one of atlas. He was 6ft8 tall and let out a hardy laugh. "GOOD BATTLE, tiny liquid man." Moments later he digitized out and the video ended.

Gin was surprised, the world was truly bigger than he thought. These moves were very exceptional, could Jen even stand against most of them? Of course, he could, and Jin knew that he had abilities that were capable of overturning the battle in a heartbeat against such individuals.

He decided to head down to the battle arena. A big building shaped like an Octagon, that rose hundreds of feet in the air and had multiple levels for different simulations. There were even arenas where one could spar in real life against people.

At such arenas people would often bet money and Jen thought maybe this could be a good way for him to earn more credits.

An hour later Gin stood outside the battle arena. The battle arena was painted black with gold overlays and had a very grandiose entrance.

There were many people around Gin entering the battle arena, this was after all a city that contained millions of people and the battle arena was one of the most sought-after areas.

A nearby youth chuckled mischievously at gin as he approached the building. He told his friends that this new guy was going to be an easy win. He then walked over and taunted Gin.

Looking up and down at Gin who was wearing at the time a black robe with a white shirt and pants, snickered and began to mock Jin saying, "Look at this trash, white and black like the color of my garbage can and bags."

Gin looked over to see a small man who is no taller than 5 foot 5 mocking him from a distance.

Gin flicked his wrist, and the little man went flying and that was the end of that.

Ironically the little man landed in a trash can and his friends began to laugh at him.

The little man berated his friends and said shut up, that's the last move that he will ever make. As he began to pull out his phone and dial a number.

Gin headed inside and moments later He was in front of the receptionist desk.

"How may I help you?" the receptionist asked. She wore a blue apron with a white uniform and brown pants and had a small blue hat on, she had brown eyes and freckles with red hair.

They sure know how to choose a receptionist, Gin thought to himself. I would like to enter the one-on-one arena where people bet credits. Jin was not afraid of attention and after all he had come to make more credits so that he could buy techniques and afford the Academy. Plus, little fans information was getting expensive.

"Sure!" The receptionist responded. "Just pay 500 credits and here is the card that you will use to place your bets on, and this card is also used to enter the arena for identification. The arena will be down the hallway to my right, and you take the elevator up to the third floor and then as you exit the elevator the first door down the hallway on your left."

After filling out the necessary paperwork and paying the credits, Jen began to make his way towards the arena.

As he walked, he realized how Immaculate the arena truly was, the floors were made of nice white and black marble and the walls were also made of marble inlaid with nice golden accents along the way. The air had a nice Cologne smell to it almost like a pine forest and the air was nice and cool.

Moments later Gin found himself outside the door of the arena and inserted his card into the scanner.

Gin would be matched against people with similar energy ratings and if he wanted more credits, he could risk going against people with higher energy ratings but that also meant their techniques could be deadlier or even stronger.

Outside a little man raged on the phone to his Big Brother, "He really embarrassed me!" he said furiously.

The two friends could only think what a spoiled kid, but they didn't dare say this to his face. The little man's name Jang was a part of the top 10 families. His family name was Geo.

His Big Brother said, "where is he at, I will teach him a lesson for laying a hand on my little brother."

His Big Brother was in the top 10,000 enhancers listed. There we over half a million enhancers, so this meant he was quite strong. Who was his big brother? Titan.

Moments later Gin was in a room shaped like an Octagon with hundreds of feet in between him and the would-be opponent. Jan looked up at the windows surrounding the Octagon and noticed there was only a couple of people spectating. This was because Jen was just starting out and newcomer's matches weren't often watched.

"Battle start!" the speaker resounded.

"What!?" Gin thought because he couldn't see any opponents in the arena. Gin looked around and saw nobody but heard somebody in the stands sigh and say "It looks like the newbie crusher is here after all. This match will not take long..." Looking down that he had come to watch a newbie fight in hopes of a new prospect that could help their clan. After all it was his job as a scout of the cloud family to look for hidden potential in new enhancers. He of course was not the only one here who was looking for new potential enhancers or geniuses but who could hope for a genius because they were only seeing and a person's dream. A genius was a person who could use both riser and dominator capabilities and was one out of a million.

Gin closed his eyes because he could not see his opponent and needed to rely on other senses if he was going to win this battle. A good battle does not come every day so the opportunity to sharpen himself coming so soon was a welcome friend.

As Gin's eyes were closed, he began to use his telekinesis to sense for vibrations in the floor because telekinesis could not only pick up items and throw them, but it was more of an extension of the person accessing the body and communicating with the molecules to achieve a result.

Gin got a response just 50 feet away from him a man was slowly walking over holding a bat in his hand. Apparently, this opponent has the capability of invisibility but and also hiding his form from making any sounds. He was impressed, it's not every day you have an opponent with such capability, and he almost wanted to call him a ninja at that. No wonder the other newbies did not stand a chance against such an opponent how could they when everybody typically relied on sight and hearing when battling.

Gin looked to his right directly at the approaching newbie killer and his eyes pulsed an invisible wave that sent the newbie killer flying into the wall and knocked him out within just moments of arriving in the arena.

The few people spectating all stood up in shock, they had never seen the newbie killer get taken out this fast or even really at all. This was a talent!

But before they could say anything, another voice resounded from the stands. "If you want a real fight how about you fight me, I will make it worth your time if you can win. Say 20,000 credits?"

Gin looked up into the stand and noticed a hulking figure, the Titan.

They stared at each other for a few moments before Gin responded…
