" Hey what was that!? "
One of the spectators yelled, while aggressively pointing her finger at Shu, who stood beside an unconscious Ean
" That boy definitely cheated! "
Another yelled, taking out his middle finger in an attempt to offend Shu who simply looked up at him from the now destroyed ring
" Kick him out of the tournament! "
A woman yelled, raising her fist up in the air, waving it roughly as she began to send insults at the boy
" Yeah, Ban him!! "
A man screamed, wanting the boy to leave, as he considered his ways of winning, cheating
" Woah there my dear crowd, what this boy did was by no means cheating "
The announcer said, his voice echoing through the field as his yellow rock amplified his voice
" What happened was simple, this boy right here, moved so fast, that none of you were able to even see him move. I don't know see how that is cheating "
The announcer explained, floating around the confused looking Shu
" Are you serious? "
One of the spectators questioned, sweat falling from his face as he stared at the albino boy
" The other fight was crazy, but you're telling me this boy went beyond that? "
Another spectator said, so perplexed at the announcer's statement that he fell back on his chair, laughing nervously as he did so
" If that's the case then, this tournament is going to be the greatest tournament in Elsian history!! "
Yet another spectator said, yelling into the air so that everyone in the field could hear him, and as soon as they did, they began to cheer, screaming as Shu simply scratched the back of his head throughout it all
" Well I guess that solves one problem, now for the other "
The announcer thought to himself, smiling as he flew higher into the air, looking down at the destroyed arena with a calm expression before snapping his fingers, restoring the ring yet again
" Well now that's settled, how about we move on to the next match!? "
The announcer screamed, exciting the crowd, even more, making them cheer loudly
" Eran Dialo, and Leo Longhorn, step up, it's your turn to fight! "
The announcer yelled, stretching his arms wide as he spun around in the air. While that happened, the boys walked into the ring, Eran rubbing the back of his neck as he stepped into the ring, whilst Leo simply yawned.
Shu walked out of the ring, holding Ean in his arms, placing him on the grass, before his body disappeared in a bright blue light.
" Leo, this won't end like it did last year "
Eran said, cracking his knuckles as he walked toward Leo, who chuckled a bit before doing the same
" Don't you remember? Or are you just stubborn? Physical attacks don't hurt me "
Leo replied, with a hint of arrogance in his tone, as Eran simply chuckled in return
" Don't worry, you'll feel pain "
Eran said, threatening the green-haired boy, but before he could continue with his seemly empty threats, Leo dashed in front of him, pulling his arms back before slamming his palms against Eran's stomach, making him bounce off of them, sending him flying a few meters back
" My ability allows me to turn my body into rubber, Eran, don't forget that "
Leo said, raising his voice as if to make Eran who had just stopped himself from falling out of the ring by sticking his fingers into the ring's ground, hear him
" Yeah, whatever "
Eran replied, now beside the green-haired boy, ramming his right fist against Leo's face, creating a small shockwave, which made Leo take a few steps back, but as he had announced before, he took no damage whatsoever
" See? "
Leo said, straightening his body as he wiped his nose, feeling no blood dripping from it or bruises around it
" Guess I'll just have to try harder then "
Eran replied, clenching his fists with a small visible smirk on his face
" Stop it, you're just embarrassing yourself "
Leo said, dashing toward Eran as he did so, jumping into the air to dodge one of Eran's punches, landing on his shoulders with his hands, before slamming Eran's face against the ring's floor, cracking the ground a bit, holding the blonde hair boy's head down, but to his surprise, Eran was able to release himself from the grip, pushing Leo away with his feet; standing upright afterward.
" Embarrassing myself? Haha, don't worry, I'll make you bleed so much you'll fall unconscious "
Eran replied, clenching his fists with all his strength as a blue aura began to surround it, and soon his body as well
" Sanctuary Energy, you think that'll help you? "
Leo questioned, but to his surprise, the reply he wanted got to him in an unexpected way.
" Yeah "
Eran whispered, appearing in front of Leo with a quick dash, punching the boy's stomach with all the strength he could muster at the moment, following that up with a jab to the face, and another, then another, but before he could continue, Leo would kick Eran's right leg, making him lose his balance, causing to trip over his other leg, and as he fell, Leo decided to throw a punch toward Eran's face.
Eran crossed his arms together, blocking the punch which made him bounce off of the Ring's ground, and as soon as he did, another punch made contact with his arms, making him bounce off of the ground yet again.
Seeing as his simple tactic was working, Leo planned to do it again, charging his arm with a purple Sanctuary energy, and soon after, hurling his punch toward Eran's arms, but before it could land, Eran quickly unwrapped his arms, moving his face to the side, dodging the punch, to later hug Leo's arm, using his legs to pull Leo down to the ground, slamming Leo's face against it.
Of course, before Leo could recover, Eran would slam his foot against Leo's face, over and over and over again, till he felt it was enough, letting go of Leo's arm, and soon backing away from him, standing up a few seconds later, looking down at Leo, panting a bit
" Get up, I know that didn't hurt you "
Eran said, as he looked down at Leo, who simply looked back up at him, wearing a devilish grin across his face
