Romeo came back to the base a few ours later and saw Adam bruise up in a corner
when he enquired what happened Adam excitedly told him what happened, Romeo was happy his friend was able to defend himself and also that he found out how to get stronger faster but he was a bit upset that he was attacked just on his first day away from him
also that they had been noticed by others, aldo he was sure they wouldn't expose them as they would want it all to themselves he still didn't want to have any loose ends
Romeo I have an idea on how I can get stronger
ok what is it
I want to fight
Aldo that's an obvious choice but a poor plan, you can't just go around picking fights plus judging by your story you won by beginners luck, I don't think you can survive the next encounter
I know but at least I can try
ok then where do you think we should go to start your training or rather fight training
here
oh no, Adam no
pls
no
pls
no, no, nooooo
two days later they where at an underground arena
ladies and gentlemen, welcome to UNDER!! GROOOOOOOOUND!!!!
underground
underground
underground
the underground was one of many fighting clubs in the city, Adam and Romeo thought they where the first to figure out how to level up but they way behind as others had figured that out long before they did, this was a sort of training ground, where people would come with food stuffs or valuables to trade with for a match, the winner gets to go with his shear and half of the losers shear while the club took the other half, the more powerful the opponent the more valuables they would bring because like it or not, at fight clubs the strongest rules all
two days before the cage fight
I'm telling you Adam this is a bad idea
I'll just pay for a weak opponent and start there
but that's the thing there isn't any weak opponent
trust me, if the system says I can beat them then yes I can beat them
well ok but you have to train for two more days before then ok
alright
just like that two days had past and he managed to raise his speed and strength a little
strength: 19
speed: 17
then it was finally time for his debut match
sign her, the form was as follows
Name: Adam Yeager
stage name: hammer head
Ability: Evolution
item of value: hamburger and a can of soda
ok Adam, you ready for this
nope
good because you don't have a choice anymore
what
you can't have cold feat now so get in there
wait give a second to
Romeo pushed him into the cage
ladies and gentlemen we havea debut match today, introducing hammmmmer heeeeeaaaaad
The whole crowd went silent, then erupted in laughter
and get this people, he chose the evolution category
the laughter in the audience increased
his death weight
more like dead meat
he's just a high school student, what the hell is he thinking
in the other corner said the commentator, coming out with a burst of speed, on a winning streak of four to zero, give it up, foooorrrrrr
raaaaaaacerrrrrr
just then the crowd erupted in cheers as they started chanting
racer
racer
racer
racer
Damn it adam, why did you have go up against a rising star like him Romeo was in a state of panic
maybe I could just teleport him out of there, but they already know his face and real name, it wouldn't take long for them to find us
Adam you better survive this
Aldo killing wasn't really allowed in these cage matches there were exceptions like when people had personal beefs, they would settle it with a death match and no one would come out till the other was dead, they would even add stipulations allowing the use of weapons
as racer saw adam he started laughing, he was a young man in his mid twenties and had a slim physic but judging by his name Adam already knew his ability and once again Adam was regretting his decision
damn it I hate speedsters they're extremely difficult to deal with but just when he was about to give up hope a notification appeared
You have set yourself in the path of a rising star, crush his dream and use him as a stepping stone
defeat racer ( reward: 20 Exp points, level up and a free stat point)
looking at the reward Adam suddenly felt a surge of adrenaline and confidence, I just have to hang in there and never give up
and fight the commentator yelled
immediately Adam took a stance getting ready for the speedster to attack
but the man gestured for Adam to attack
be careful ada... I mean hammer head Romeo cheered from the stands
Adam went slowly towards racer and when he was in rang threw a punch but racer dodged it
you call that a punch? this is a punch as a left jab sent Adam flying back to the other side of the cage
what the hell, how is he this strong Adam said holding his broken nose
I'll make this quick kid racer said as he dash forward before Adam could even react and punched him again and again and again
racer was delivering high speed punches to Adam who after 5minutes fell to the floor
it look like it's a rap folks and the winner is
not yet
huh?
they all looked at Adam who was slowly standing up and raising his guard up
I'm still standing
I was right, you do have a death wish racer said as he rushed in again and with a fury of blows Adam was on the floor again
this match is.... he's back up
Adam stood up again
what? this is the second time
ladies and gentlemen, it seems the kid has more heart than we thought but how far can this determination take him
racer rushed in again and this time at top speed delivered a devastating punch that almost knocked Adam out
in those few moments Adam was loosing consciousness, he was thinking about his past
in this world you do whatever it takes to survive, loosing here was the same as dying
I refuse to die that easily, no matter what, I will sirvive!! he yelled in his mind
racer was standing in front of him, Making sure he wouldn't get up
it seems this match is finally ov....
huuuuh! hammer head is still moving
adam held racers leg and began using him for support
ok I won't hold back anymore, I won't just use speed anymore, now I'll use all my strength as well
but to his surprise and the surprise of others Adam used this moment to rush and grab racer from behind and delivered a German suplex
wooooooow! hammer head is finally fighting back ladies and gentlemen
the crowd was in uproar, finally it was a real fight and not some one sided beat down
Adam delivered the first German suplex but didn't let go
let go kid racer yelled as he elbowed Adam in the face but his grip only tightened
never, no matter what I'm not letting go Adam yelled back as he delivered another German suplex
that's it, don't let up, keep going, don't give him a chance to recover Romeo yelled
Adam got up with racer, he grabbed Adam hands and was trying to break his grip but Adam just gave him a third German suplex
and a forth
fifth
sixth
seventh
eight
ninth
tenth
Adam wanted to keep going but then Romeo called to him
that's enough, he's knocked out
huh?
Adam let go of racer and he fell to the floor
only then did Adam notice the blood on his face that wasn't his
swinging him with all his might Adam had actually knocked out racer at the fifth German suplex but he kept going busting the back of his head aldo it wasn't to bad
congratulations, mission completed here are your rewards
level up: one stat point
level up: one stat point
you have reached the strength of an athlete
and so with a broken jaw, broken nose, black eye, busted lip and internal injuries to his body
Adam won his first official cage match throw shear luck, will and determination
