Amon finished eating with Alia on a bench and stood up.
"That was a good al." He said, stretching his arms.
Alia did the sa, doing the sa action.
It was evident that both of them were tired.
"Yeah.."
He looked at the watch and found out that there were only 5 minutes left.
"Welp, I'll catch you later then. Need to leave for my match now." He said.
Alia nodded.
"I should get going as well. Let's et up soti again." She smiled and waved.
Amon reciprocated the smile and waved back.
"Sure, see you."
"See you."
As Amon stared at her departing back, he sighed.
'Welp, let's get going now, don't wanna be late-' His thoughts were stopped abruptly as he collided with soone while turning.
Retreating a step, Amon massaged his head.
"My ba-" He opened his eyes, only to find Arthur staring deep into his eyes from above.
'Huh?' He stared at him with surprise.
"Why the fuck are you star-" Amon was asking when the cogs in his mind suddenly clicked. 'Oh.'
'Wait.'
'I forgot that this geezer is a daughter-con. If there are those like that.'
"What were you doing with Alia kiddo?" He asked, leaning close to his face.
Amon rolled his eyes.
"Couldn't you see? You got three eyes old man." He replied, referring to his monocle as an eye as well.
"No, I saw you were eating. But why were you two laughing like close friends?" He asked and Amon stared back incredulously.
"What the hell is wrong with that?"
"..."
"I don-"
"Listen, old man, don't worry, I wasn't doing anything with your precious daughter. We were just having a normal lunch like friends." Amon clarified.
"Hmmm..." Arthur retreated back his face, putting a hand on his chin as if wondering about sothing.
"Okay."
"Good, now let go I'm getting late for my match."
"Wait." Arthur grabbed his shoulder, staring at him skeptically.
"What now?" Amon felt like crying because of how insecure this man was.
"Why should I trust you?"
Amon instantly spun back his words, not bothering to think of an answer. "Source: Trust bro."
"Okay," He said.
"Finally!" Amon started to rush off at full speed.
But before he could get far away from Arthur, he heard a voice that made his eyes widen. "Though thinking about it, you and Alia do look good together. I'm not that against it." Amon clicked his tongue at his inability to answer back because of how far he was now. 'I'll just answer him next ti.'
***
Amon ran out of the stadium hallway to the stage, barely making it on ti.
He wasn't out of breath, but he was sweating a little.
'Thankfully, I'm on ti.' He thought as he walked up the stairs.
The large crowd erupted in cheers once more.
And unlike previous tis, almost 95% of the stadium was cheering for him.
All because his opponent was Adam.
To them, he was much more entertaining and known than Adam, who was a boring individual.
"Amon!"
"GO BEAT HIM!"
The guys were cheering while even so screams and shrieks of good luck were heard from
the girls in the stand.
After all, even taking aside his strength, he was very handso now.
Coming before Adam, Amon's eyes locked with him.
The bored expression of the forr brightened up a little.
A subtle smile replaced his features.
"I've been waiting for this the whole day," Adam said silently.
Amon smiled coldly.
"I can't say that I wasn't the sa." He took out his hands from his pockets.
At that gesture,
audience ned silent for a split seco
shock.
It had to be noted that in all of his battles, Amon had never taken out his hands in the first
minutes of the battle.
But here, he had taken them out even before the fight began.
This didn't even happen for Nadia, which led them to assu that Adam was stronger than
her.
But then why was he so low in the rankings?
Both of them simultaneously looked at the referee, who nodded back.
He raised his arm in the air.
"AND NOW FOR THE FINAL MATCH OF TODAY IN STADIUM C!"
"TWO FINALISTS, AMON ASHFORD AND ADAM RAVENFIELD WILL BE GOING HEAD TO
HEAD!"
For the first ti, Amon took his stance even before the match.
And the sa was said for Adam as well, as he bent his knees.
"AND THE MATCH!!!"
Blood manifested around Amon while lightning started to crack around Adam's body.
Amon bent his knees, slightly unsheathing his nodachi.
"BEGINS NOW!" He brought down his arm.
And instantly, the ground beneath both of them gave way to a cobweb of cracks.
Before it turned into a small crater in the next second as both of them shot off.
Reaching each other, Amon instantly saw a punch of lightning inches away from his face.
'This fucker...'
It was evident that Adam was giving it all.
He was applying lightning to his body currently even though it was going to be harmful for
him in the long stage as well.
But that just showed how serious he was.
Manipulating the blood around him into threads, Amon dodged the punch with a sharp tilt of
his face.
He bore the pain that ca with it and looped his threads around Adam's arm.
With a sharp tug, Amon pulled him in his direction while the sharp threads also dug into his
skin.
Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy as the lightning around Adam burst out violently, instantly
tearing the threads.
A shock of lightning ca to Amon.
However, he barely felt a shock except for the pain part.
All because he didn't have blood in his body anymore.
Adam's eyes widened at the lack of reaction from Amon.
Taking opportunity of his reaction, Amon conjured a barrage of blood spears, launching them
at him.
Adam, able to compose himself in ti, quickly raised a lightning barrier.
The spears collided with the barrier, bursting instantly.
Amon clicked his tongue.
It was evident that blood was a bad matchup against lightning. Nevertheless, unsheathing his nodachi completely Amon shot at Adam.
And just as he ca in front of the barrier, he smiled subtly.
That subtle lack of focus from Adam was enough to disintegrate the barrier.
And Amon passed through harmlessly, coming before him and slashing his nodachi at him.
Fortunately for Adam, he was able to quickly raise a coating of electricity around his arm, nullifying most of the damage from the sword.
However, a slash was still inflicted on his arms as he was sent dragging back by the force of
the impact.
Drip...Drip....Drip...Drip
Adam suddenly turned silent, his eyes widening as they traveled to the floor.
Where a pool of blood was forming from his arms.
Amon knew why he was so surprised.
Because it was the first ti soone had inflicted him this much damage.
And his reaction to it?
Adam gave a wide smile.
"Great! Great! Let's take it further!~" He shouted like a madman.
But if he looked deep within Adam's eyes, it was obvious that he was enjoying it.
It was the first ti he was having this much fun even though he was bleeding.
