Mister Yita came into the cage, looking worried but was relieved when he saw Dragger and Rin talking without any friction between them. Actually, he was surprised. Earlier in the fight, they were beating each other like there are grudges between the two of them.
When Dragger noticed Mister Yita, he bowed again.
"Can you still walk?", Mister Yita raised an eyebrow.
"Of course!"
Mister Yita sighed and faced the crowd, "The winner of this match is the Challenger Rin!"
That announcement sent a jolt to the crowds. This more than just a surprise. They knew that the kid didn't used any Natural Energy and yet he came back up again and again like he did not even take any damages.
Dragger didn't feel well about the lose but didn't feel that agitated about it. He just felt that he lost to a talent.
If Rin knew what Dragger was thinking, he would spout out blood from laughter while shouting, "Me?! Hahahaha! Talented?! Hahah!"
But Dragger could only sighed and said to Rin with a faint smile, "Yeah, I guess that was a good match.", he raised his fist.
The before socially inept Rin was glad that he was watching tv all the time or he wouldn't knew what a fist bump is since he had zero friends.
Rin replied a big smile and fist bumped Dragger.
"Heh! Come here again, I am actually hard-working! I can get stronger easily, then you may not get lucky next time!", Dragger grinned and turned his back since he need to get an actual rest. He decided to not fight for a day.
"Don't bother getting agitated over a lose. After all, that was already your sixth fight and you couldn't use your full strength.", Mister Yita tried to comfort Dragger.
"Yes.", Dragger nodded but thought that even if he was in full strength he doubt that he will win and felt that Rin would just get back up after getting beaten like a zombie. That was really a frightening experience for him.
Before he could reach the exit of the cage, he heard something slammed. Dragger turned around followed by Mister Yita. They saw Rin who was prostarating flat on the ground. Then they hear him laugh, "Hahahah, I guess I couldn't move."
Dragger felt relieved when this zombie finally collapsed. 'I thought he's invulnerable for a moment there.' Dragger laughed and went to Rin to help him.
Dragger carried Rin to put him over his shoulder. "Haha, sorry for troubling you…"
"Wait, are you this light earlier?", He looked at Rin and noticed that he lost some significant weight. While he was satisfying his curiousity, Rin just suddenly disappeared.
"Huh? What?", he looked around and saw Elihim carrying Rin.
"Thank you for your concerns. Now we shall leave.", Elihim smiled.
"Wait! Is there some kind of technique he was using?!", Dragger was really curious so he asked Elihim since he looked like Rin's master. Well, he's not wrong at all.
Elihim ignored him and turned his back and went to the exit.
"Hey! I said wait!", Dragger wanted to follow Elihim but he wass pulled by Mister Yita. "Mister Yita?"
Dragger saw Mister Yita trembling, "Don't bother them."
"What?", Dragger was confused what was happening to such a person and what could possibly made him tremble that much.
"That guy is dangerous, better to stay away from him."
Dragger gulped as he gazed the back of the master to make such a person terrified.
=====
"Master, I'm really hungry~", Rin complained.
"Well, he did smashed you on the ground three time. Ahaha!", Elihim laughed.
"That's not funny…"
"Guess, since you are successful on your first day in the Hidden World (a part of it), I will treat you."
"Yes! But…"
"What?"
Elihim stopped amidst the passing crowds while carrying Rin on his side. People looked at them as if they looking at something weird.
"Can you put me down? This is rather an unnecessary embarrassment for me. I can walk now." Rin looked at the passing people with shyness.
Elihim gladly listen to his disciple and dropped him onto the ground.
Rin was still too weak to moved and can't protect humself from falling but Elihim caught him again. "You can't even move."
"Then we need food immediately.", Rin felt his hunger and shame intesified all of a sudden.
Elihim saw a bar, "There must be something good to eat there.", he pointed.
They went in and out after two hours with Rin carryng a huge belly all satisfied and with amassing strength. His appearance was back to normal again, a little fat was added though.
But Rin didn't care about that since he have the ultimate cheat on how to lose weight. He suddenly remembered something, "Master, what is the First Stage of Focus?"
Elihim pat Rin's head and said, "You're too early for that. You have to gain physical strength first. If I tell you what it is, you may neglect your physical training and focus on practising that."
Rin didn't argue and just nodded in agreement.
…..
"Haaaah… finally home.", Rin yelled as he open the door and then heard the phone ringing. He ran and went to the living room to pick the phone up.
Elihim followed by walking and saw Rin talking on the phone with a smile ear to ear.
"Rin."
Rin looked at Elihim, and saw something thrown to him.
"That's my reward for today.", Elihim's figure faded into nothingness.
Rin caught it and was shocked to see it was a brand new smartphone!
"Hello? Rin?", Dana called him over the phone, "Are you talking to someone else over there? If you then I'll be quiet for a minute."
"Ah, no need. He already left and guess what?", Rin felt grateful and excitement.
"What?"
"That someone gifted me a brand new smartphone!"
"Seriously!?"
"Yeah, seriously."
Dana was quiet for a while, she whispered, "Yes! Yes!", but Rin heard than and he also heard her hum before getting back to line, "Do you know how to use it since it seemed that its your first phone."
"Yeah, I don't have any idea how to use this."
"Hm! Hm! Then I guess, you need someone to teach them for you!"
