the crowds were screaming, there are those people who are amazed at the battle and there are those crying about losing money because of the bet. the enemy breeder is in disbelief at what happened as he slowly walks to his brutally murdered rooster. while the event staff is cleaning the glass stained by its blood.
"My eyes did not deceive me right?"
I look for my rooster and he was completely unfazed, though, his tail feathers is ruined. I walk slowly, still unable to comprehend what just happened.
*Shoutingly praising his name in the background*
"Jay-R!!!, Jay-R!!!, Jay-R!!!, Jay-R!!!, Jay-R!!!, Jay-R!!!,"
the environment doesn't help at all to loosen up my tension. in the Gamefowl tournament usually, if you win or lose it doesn't matter to the eyes of the crowd. you have to take your rooster and get out of the fighting pit as soon as the winner is announced. but this is different, they really praise me"
"Not gonna lie... THATS THE MOOSSTT CRAZIIIEST FIGHT IVE EVEEER SEEEEEN!!!" said the event host
Everyone is too entertained to the point that the following duels were delayed waiting after the crowd is calm.
I know I am supposed to be happy at this, I am supposed to be celebrating my victory but I lost my passion for the longest time. and I think this isn't right, to begin with.
the rooster was looking in front of him as I walk behind the rooster, and he suddenly rotate his head, looking at me.
I stopped.
What's with this rooster? he is looking at me like he's trying to flex on how he flawlessly wins us both. didn't he realize his tail feather is gone?
the Event host ran into the fighting dome just to congratulate me.
"dude! that rooster of yours is HOOOT!!!"
"THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! how do you manage to take care of such a POWERHOUSE OF A BEEEAST???!!!"
"W-wait, am I being interviewed?" I replied
"Well uhhmm... i-i feed my rooster rice, that's one of few diets my rooster had."
"w-wait, wait, YOU'RE TELLING ME, YOUR ROOSTER NEVER TAKEN ANY VACCINATION SHOTS AND VITAMINS!!!???" the host replied with another question
how he shouted that I get the impression that he is in disbelief at how I raised my chicks.
"is vaccination and vitamins really that important? I used a ground worm to feed my rooster sometimes" I said
the host sighed...
"Well either way you are the new champion as of today, you can take a rest but later on during the event, you will take part in the award ceremony, don't be late okay"
I was stunned. couldn't believe what I just heard.
"wait, wait, did you just say I am the new champion as of today?"
"Uhh, yes bro, you defeated the 15-year reigning champion of course you will be the next champion"
"Wait I thought I was only taking part in the casual cockfighting, how did I manage to win all the matches and go straight to the finals"
"Ahhh, that you are confused about"
*several hours later*
"Oh look if it isn't the boy who never quits, but losses entirely. " said the champion breeder as he look at Jay-R signing in an official match holding a rooster.
The champion is sitting in the VIP seat.
while everyone beside him is laughing at his insults to Renejay
"hahaha, he can't even go past the preliminary matches, why won't he just quit?" said some other guy
"beats me" the champion replied
"Boss, maybe he just won't quit until he gets a chance to challenge you"
Ehhh.
"HAHAHA, I like to see him try, if your right about that then maybe we can give him a chance against me," said the champion
"hey, boss are you sure about this?"
"why not, that plain guy needs to learn a valuable lesson, to stay away from this pit" replied the champion as he is fully convinced that he would crush Jay-R's commitment.
He, later on, tells the event host and the Gamefowl tournament admins to approve his request.
"But sir, to fight against you, the challenger has to compete in all the preliminaries and semi-finals?" one of the admin says
"then how about I will give you 50% of the winning bet of the crowd, pretty sure more than 80% of the audience will be betting for me against that loser"
"what do you say? everyone wins right?"
"But if you lose sir what will you do?"
"huh, me? loss? no way in hell, HAHAHA but if I did lose which certainly I won't, I will give 50% of my earnings to you admins, and a full pledge that I will never step on the Gamefowl Tournament ever again, how's that?"
as the admin he talks about walking out, the champion requested one last thing and that is to treat their matches as an official match rather than a friendly match.
*back to the present*
"well it's the reigning champion's decision to fight you straight up"
"Not gonna lie, it's also unexpected for a 99th loss streak breeder to win against a 15-year reigning champion," said the host
Ohh no my heart is thumping fast, it can't catch up to my breathing
*breathe heavily* *breathe heavily* *breathe heavily*
"Sir? sir?! what happened, sir?!!"
what happening, it is hard for me to maintain my eyes from closing.
my heart is squeezing tight, it is hard for me to breathe, and I am sweating a lot.
I wanna cry.
"CALL THE MEDIC NOW!" the host shouted.
at some point in time, I can't feel my legs and arm as I lay back, feeling as if there are a bunch of elephants sitting on top of my chest.
Am I gonna die, why does it have to be like this? I can't even talk anymore. I can only speak through my mind now.
my vision is blurry but I can still see it, my, my, my rooster is being stolen from me!
STOP!
STOP!
GIVE ME BACK MY ROOSTER, THAT IS MINE!!
NOOOO!
I saw the man holding my rooster going straight to the exit.
At a certain point in time, I can't feel my heart beat anymore but my brain is still functioning a bit.
I just thought "Will Papa be proud of me now?"
