"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" King yelled. Everybody in the cafeteria seems to have the same reaction though his reaction is the most exaggerated of them all.
"Can you repeat what you have said?" King wanted to make sure he heard it right.
"I Challenge you to a DUEL!! For the seat beside Diana!!" Jake Yelled again. " Meet me at the Battle Arena after class! That's all bye!!" He quickly run away like a maniac and he didn't even get the answer whether King is okay with it or not. Everybody is speechless with the announcement. For someone like Jake to challenge him was out of the world thing. Nobody would ever do that because they know it is only a waste of time since they are confident that they'll win against a Spirit Weaponless human. But they seem excited on how
he would embarrass this trash.
"Well that was unexpected" Diana teasingly said. He look at her smiling face and sigh.
"So what are you gonna do now?" She asked.
"I'll just go there after class and decline. He can't do something if I decline since it's in the rule of the school." He said while scratching his head. ' What did I do to deserve all this trouble' he thought.
"Well let's continue eating for now. So much thing happen, we are not even halfway done eating" She said as she get her chopsticks and started eating. King did the same and didn't talk anymore after that. 'I just want to go home and sleep' he thought to himself. The bell then again rang and the afternoon classes started.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
And just like that, afternoon classes ended. Many people started going to the arena now to watch their fight. He just wanted to go there and decline so he can just go home already and take a nap. He take his bag and goes outside when Diana called him.
"Going home?" She asked.
"Not yet. I'm going to decline the match" He said.
"Can't you just go home and don't mind him? his the one at fault for not waiting for your answer." she said. King hope he could but that would only result to more gossip about him.
"Many people is waiting there. They will ruin my already ruined reputation more and more." He said. Though the usual him would usually never care about reputations but he does this time. King really didn't know himself why but he followed his feeling.
" Can I go with you? " She then asked.
"Sure" He said as he turn around and look at Diana. " Let's go then? ". He asked which Diana nodded then suddenly yelled: " Let's Go To Battle!!". He felt headache after hearing her yell like this.
=============
On the Battle Arena...
"Will he really come?" the guy beside Jake asked.
"He should!! If not I'll start rumors about him" Jake said.
" What if he decline to the battle? " he asked Jake again.
" Don't worry. I'll make sure he will accept the challenge" He said as he smirked maniacally again.
"Just do what I told you." He said.
"Okay Jake - Sama" the guy said which is look at more men and nodded to one another. The door then opened and someone came in.
" Jake - Sama. His here" the new coming guy said.
" He did come. Now that chair is mine! " He said then laugh like a villain. (All of these is for a a chair BTW)
" Now let the Duel Begin " He said.
============
In the battle arena hallway.....
"You can wait here Diana. It'll be over in a second. " He said with a serious face like he was about to enter a fight.
" You look cool!! Even though you're just running away." She said as she smiled sarcastically at him. King look at her and sigh. He then entered the arena.
" Be careful " she said with a serious tone.
" Huh? it's not like I'm gonna fight or something" He confusingly asked.
" Yeah right" She said as she smiles while caressing the back of her head. "You're only declining the match right?" She said as she continued doing the gesture.
" Ye - Yeah. " he said. His still confused about the sudden change of her tone. He didn't think much about it anymore and entered the arena.
Diana who is on the hallway became serious again. 'I got a bad feeling about this' She said to herself.
===========
In the arena ...
The arena is in Arena Stage form where the stage is surrounded by the audience. Many people came considering what they expected on the fight. They must really want to see King get embarrassed infront of everyone or they really just want to see Jake's fight. The audience is getting impatient considering his late. Everybody then payed attention as they heard the door of the arena opened. Everybody became excited as they saw King came in.
"Here comes King!!" the announcer announced.
"The punching bag is here!! " someone from the crowd said. King's lips twitched as he heard this. 'Does they look down on me that much? ' he said to himself. He sighing when he heard a voice.
"King you came!" Jake said while making an obvious fake smile.
"Yeah I came to decline the match" He said to him. Everybody on the audiences started shouting at him.
"Huh?!?! We waited for you here so we can see you getting pummeled up in to bits!!" someone from the audience said.
" Yeah!! We waited someone useless like you even when you are late just to see you get beaten up!! " Another from the audience said.
King wanted to cry with all of their comment to him. He just sigh and sigh all of his problems away.
"So you're saying you're giving up?" Jake asked.
"Huh? What do you mean?" King asked.
" I mean declining a match that you have accepted means surrendering right? " He asked at King normally
" Huh?!?! I never agreed to this fight!!" King yelled.
" But as far as I remember. You and I agreed to this match. Don't tell me you have already forgotten what you said., " Jake answered.
" Yeah you agreed to it in the cafeteria during lunch break" One of the audience in the left side said. Same thing can also be heard from the right side. As he looks to these people who said this, they seem to be smirking as they looked toward him. He then looked at Jake infront of him whose also smirking. 'Did they just set me up??. This is probably his underlings. What a dirty move. You really want that chair so bad? '. As Jake's underlings keep on shouting the fake information, it influenced other people and started shouting too. Now everyone is talking trash to him. As he looks around the audiences, he can see how this people really think about him. He gritted his teeth and clenced his fist from all this things that happening.
"So you're fighting or what? " Jake asked who looks like an insane person. King still clenching his fist. He still continued hearing shouting and yelling from the audiences and makes him more madder. Now King looks like those OP MC from anime when they about to unleashed their hidden power.
"Come on trash. Fight!!"
" You're not just trash but also gay"
" Some insulting words? ( i don't know how to insult someone)"
Insults keep on coming and King got enough of it.
"Okay." Everybody then became silent after they heard this. " If a fight is what you want. Then it is a fight that you will get" King said as he look at Jake angrily.
" Great!! Now I can get the chair and beat you at the same time" Jake said smiling knowing his plan worked.
'Let's see whose gonna get pummeled up' King thought to himself as he try to calm himself from all the anger he felt.
"Now the long awaited fight will soon happen!!" the announcer said. " Jake Mamusog Vs. King Cipher who will win!! "
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
On the hallway where Diana is waiting....
"His taking way too long" She said looking worried. She then heard the announcer from the inside: ,"Now the long awaited fight will soon begin". As she heard this she became serious for. 'My feeling really is right she thought to herself. She tried opening the door but it is locked from the inside. She quickly ran toward the spectators area.
