"Remember your promise Akagi Shinsuke, if you don't keep it, I will cut all of your nine fingers."
Right before entering AFA dressed like a guest into a big underground sewer's lane, Tereko lastly warned about the deal Akagi made the other day.
"Don't worry, I will soon get what you deserve and thanks for reminding me that I have 9 fingers."
Regardless Akagi sarcastically replied had promised Tereko to hand over Antheia/Misaki, he lied to her about Athenaeum partake AFA, once assault finished, he will hand Antheia over to Tereko, though he is relatively casual about all this, focusing on the mission infiltrating the AFA.
Since linked to the criminal underworld's payroll somehow connected to the infamous cult, RMS, the Imperium Senate decided to attack their resource of income, Agra Fighting Association by the Code Phoenix Program.
"Since we entered, I should inform about the area, the AFA."
While entering Akagi shared few facts about AFA since he done his homework before going in.
"AFA short for, Agra Fighting Association, a Gladiatorial Arena in Yellow Zone, this run-down structure located in the sewers is one of the most coveted destination by the poor citizens in Yellow Zone who are looking for fun or for some easy money form the bets.
The arena is frequented by all kinds of warriors: mercenaries, wild dogs, forced labours or trafficked humans. Few Fallen's creature like Vectors, Scissor Head, Behemoths, and finally, imported bear or lions from foreign land."
"Seem you know lot about this place?"
"I first came here as a contender when I first came into contact with the Darkfallen, though I won unwillingly for Tomita Mitsumasa."
A large crowd gathered around the arena, cheering for the players, dying in a bloody fight, soon they fix within the masses.
Inside the cheering crowd, Akagi points forward at the vipstand at once he spotted Malcolm Denon, the Impaler and the organiser of this sick tournament who watching the fight with excitement.
"Malcolm Denon the Impale, the administrator of AFA who has a fascination with gaming and enjoys manipulating lesser class of beings in the League of Champions and impaled any contestants who were defected and sometimes also their families. The man Malcolm is a pure sadist and creepy pervert too, a powerful sexual charge which runs through Malcolm's deranged, twisted mind-set has caught the attention of modern individuals, who see in it deviant and taboo forms of sexuality, including rape, incest, adultery, paid harem, oral sex, group sex, sex during menstruation, bestiality, paedophilia, venereal disease, and voyeurism, among other things."
The crowd reacted loudly when two fighters clashed, brutally battling to the death, turning each other apart.
Like many people out there, Malcolm is a complete monster and while Tereko already witnessed his terribleness first hand, Akagi add few facts with deadpan attitude begins to change into dreadfulness, whispered into her ear with a sadistic glee, like the tone like a cultured poet dictating his first poem.
"Do you know what The Impaler does in his pastime? Nails in heads cutting off limbs, binding, strangulation burning cutting off noses and ears, mutilation of sexual organs for women, scalping, skinning, exposure to the elements or to animals and boiling alive, and you think I am a complete monster as the everyone in the Empire."
"Alright, you made your point."
Tereko somewhat horrified to know Malcolm's depravity, nevertheless she took a glance Malcolm, a man scar ridden face and green spiky hair, enjoying his show.
Akagi and Tereko were told to stand down, wait for the moment to strike, since he pretends to be Takamatsuke Hatteki, as a loyal, obedient soldier of the Code Phoenix, he obeyed, stood by like other members of the Phoenix alongside with Ichiro Kyousuke's team, waiting outside.
"Ugh...Alright they gave the sign, let's go."
Upon arriving the order of beginning the assault, Akagi sniff the drug, he was carrying, informed Tereko about the news.
Despite Akagi set free from the terrible addiction that causing the amnesia, he still very much in the habit of taking substance abuse. It's usual for an intellectual, diabolical criminal such as Akagi have an addiction, criminals who has anti-social behaviour occurs when the person is under the influence of a drug, and long-term personality changes in individuals may occur as well.
*Boom*
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Spectacles from the stand begin to flee when the military police burst into the arena, confronting the Malcolm's armed henchmen.
The massive crackdown begins, one by one taking most of them down.
"Your time is begun, Shinsuke, don't turned down on your words."
Tereko coldly said, before Akagi's voyage. Akagi didn't response, went into the clash.
