Chapter 13 - Chapter Thirteen: Shenanigans At The Arena

The following day arrived and all contestants were full of vigor. They had a wonderful night, most of the boys had a really wonderful night and the girls from Pious Piety sect could be seen glowing. Nicklaus was just feeling stupid for using that trick yesterday for he never got any action as he hoped. But he did get the room number of his query.

The contestants were brought to the arena that was filled with spectators. The ref just saw the arena was full and blew the horn. Nicklaus did not understand what was going on until an idiot jumped at him. He sidestepped the fool making him crush into another one. He saw everyone fighting and he just shook his head.

"Isn't this just too sudden? They are supposed to start with a speech or something. How many people are supposed to survive any way?" he asked himself. He spent a full hour just dodging fools until he saw the young master that insulted him yesternight. He got behind him as he let out a demonic chuckle that made the young man shiver.

"Take this, forbidden jutsu:ten thousand years of pain!" he shouted then an anguished cry of pain pierced the already noisy arena. The place became deathly quiet as the saw a boy fly out of the arena clutching his butt while screaming. Nicklaus looked at everyone there and decided to give himself a leeway. "Alright, a the weakest person here, I am willing to play a different game with whoever wants to kick me out." Felix almost fell off his feet when he heard Nicklaus call himself the weakest there.

"Trash don't get to talk," a boy said. Nicklaus looked at him and shook his head. He removed a robe from his storage ring.

"I am well versed with vodoo magic," he warned him.

"What the hell is vodoo magic?" the boy asked. Everyone was listening to this exchange in astonishment. Nicklaus suddenly twisted the robe's hand sleeve and the boy felt his hand twist. He cried out in pain as he heard his hand break.

"You think you can scare us with that? You can't control everyone here at the same time," a boy said. Nicklaus chuckled then raised both his robe's sleeves. Everyone did the same! They all stared at Nicklaus in fear for he could control them. Nicklaus had just combined force Push with pressure increase and memory scrambler to attain force like powers. He could become a Jedi or a dark with with his actions if he chooses to now.

"You know, I have not had friends dance with me for a long time," he said and made the robe do the stinky leg and thus everyone on the arena did the same. Every spectator was watching this in both amazement and fear. It was entertaining to see them being controlled but it was scary to think about being controlled themselves. Nicklaus then made them do the running man as he clapped along.

"You evil creature, if you are man enough release us and fight us without tricks," one of them dancing contestants said. Nicklaus stopped making them dance as he looked at the boy.

"Have you ever done the worm?" Nicklaus suddenly asked.

"I don't know what that is but no. Release us at once!" the boy said. Nicklaus shook his head.

"Nah, I'm gonna make you all moonwalk yourselves out of the arena," he said as his robe started moonwalking in place but the contenstants started moonwalking to the edge of the arena. Suddenly, one of them regained control for just a second and threw a fire based energy at his robe, burning it. Nicklaus was surprised at this as everyone regained their freedom.

"You just insulted our honour," one of them said. Nicklaus laughed nervously.

"C'mon, oeople. It was just a harmless prank, none of you got hurt by that, right?" he said as he started backing away, only to bump into another person. He turned around and saw a jacked boy glaring at him.

"You made me do silly dances. I was born and bred for fighting," heroared at him and swang a fist that Nicklaus dodged.

"Now now, children, no need to be so furious. It was just a harmless prank. Wait, what's that?" He suddenly pointed behind them. Everyone looked at the direction and this time, Nicklaus went behind the jacked teenager in front of him.

"Take this, Forbidden Jutsu: A Thousand Years of Pain," Nicklaus shouted then another anguished scream pierced the air as the jacked kid flew out of the arena. This time, all the spectators saw what he did and they ducked in cold breath as some clenched their butts.

"What did you do, you dispicable person?" a girl asked him as she went close to him. Nicklaus backed away from her.

"I...I threw him out," he answered.

"This shameless person is not worth your time, beauty. I bet even him mother will be disgusted by him," a boy said. Nicklaus gasped dramatically.

"You take that back, sir," he shouted at him as if he was acting Shakespeare.

"What if I don't?" the boy glossed.

"Then you and I are going to throw it down here. Put'em up," Nicklaus said as he comedically swung his fists in front of him ready for a fight. Felix could not take it anymore as he burst out laughing in the middle of the arena making everyone look at him weirdly.

"I'm sorry, I just can't take it seeing how he is leading everyone here from the nose," he tried to say in between fits of laughter. Nicklaus recognized that voice and just sighed in depression.

"The jig is up, huh. Here I thought I could have more fun," he said with a depressed smile as Felix continued laughing.

The boy charged at Nicklaus angrily and threw a punch. Nicklaus disappeared from his position and appeared behind him. He put his hand on his back and smiled.

"Force Push," he said. The boy flew off like a broken kite and hit the audience's stand, face first. Nicklaus turned to look at everyone and just smiled at them. "Consider what I did back then as just stupidity. The real fight starts now. Beast Spectral Strength." Suddenly, spectral forms of beasts appeared one by one as they entered inside his body. They heard his bones cracking as his muscles expanded as each beast got in. The final one was a wyvern and as soon as it got into his body, Nicklaus roared in euphoria but everyone there felt like they had just been hit by multiple wrecking balls all at once because of the shockwaves. Nicklaus's body then shrank back to normal and his face grew in surprise.

"That's a surprise," he said as he looked at his hand. A girl took this chance to sneak attack him but when her sword struck his body, it broke in pieces. Nicklaus turned to look at her and smiled at her.

"A for effort," he told her before flicking her to the audience stand. She was unconscious as soon as she was hit by his finger. He turned to look at the remaining contestants. He backed away till he was at the edge of the arena and smiled. "It was never said how man contestants should blremain so I will eliminate you till the last contestant remains." He suddenly hit the arena with his palm and a crack surrounded the portion of the arena who was on. He then grabbed the rest of the arena with one hand and flipped it and thus disqualifying everyone there. That's when he remembered Felix was among them.

"Oh, shit, Felix! I totally forgot you were there!" He shouted as he saw the poor guy coming out of the rubble glaring at him.

"Don't look at me like that, you could have cried out before I flipped the arena," he tried to absolve himself of the mistake.

"Just shut up before I come there and kick your butt," Felix struggled to say.

"Winner by a landslide, contestant 125321974. The Martial Masters have concluded that everyone present when the arena was flipped will be given a second chance for a good ranking," the referee said. The contestants still in the rubble started cheering in delight but Nicklaus was furious.

"Doesn't that mean I wasted my energy for nothing?" he shouted at the ref.

"It's the decision of the Martial Masters, not mine," the ref said.

"How would you like if you have your all in this tournament then you are paid with energy drinks, huh?" he asked the ref who wanted to retort back but a middle aged balding man came next to him.

"Since this junior is not satisfied with the results what about you battle me," the man said.

"You are old and dying, I don't want to fight a walking corpse," Nicklaus said. The man scowled in anger.

"This junior, you should pay respect to your seniors," the man growled. Nicklaus suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed him by his beard and threw him to where the arena was, causing a huge bang and the contestants still in the rubble were thrown away by by the rubble. Nicklaus then flew above the man and brought his hands up.

"Star Bombardment!" he said. Starlight started bombarding the man in loud explosions that made the audience cover their ears and take cover.

"You arrogant junior! You think think this is enough to injure me? Take this, Lightning Annahilation." Nicklaus saw large and thick (A/N:I know it sounds wrong) lightning coming at him and he smiled. They hit him squarely and continuously till the last one. Everyone thought he was dead but he was still there, covered in a multicoloured armour.

"That was wonderful. Again," Nicklaus said as demonic looking axes appeared on his hands. He dive at the man who took out his sword and blocked one of the axes only to be thrown backwards and expanding the already larger hole he was in. The spectators were now fleeing after knowing this was a fight between Legendary Realm experts.

The man came out if the hole as he coughed out blood. Four more men joined him and Nicklaus's smile just got crazier.

"So this is the boy who killed my elder brother, huh," one of the men asked as he looked at Nicklaus.

"He is a lot stronger than he looks," the man Nicklaus fought spat out. Suddenly, four more Nicklaus appeared out of thin air, each holding a sword.

"Kelp them busy until I am done with the first old coot. We will keep doing this until we have exhausted all the martial skills they know," Nicklaus told his Walking Poltergeist clones who nodded and attacked the four newcomers, leading them away from the battle.

"You are quite the evil one, huh?" the old coot said as he swallowed a pill. His injuries suddenly healed and be smiled. "Youngsters these days have become quite brazen, actually hitting an old man so hard. I guess I should be the one to teach you some manners."

"As a great man called Momonga once said, weak people really do talk too much," Nicklaus said and went for the kill.
