The next day, at 12 noon in the afternoon
Adam was at the underground, the place was always jam-packed with spectators and fighters ready to level up and get stronger
Adam this is nuts, you can't jump into another fight when you barely learned anything last night
I did learn something
yh the basics of keeping your guard up
and how to throw a punch too Adam replied back
Adam your getting in over your head because of your last match
Romeo trust me, all these guys are at my level, we are all novices
Adam Romeo called but Adam had entered the cage
This time his opponent was a girl the same hight as he was
seems luck is on my side again Adam thought but his hopes where crushed when saw the system notification
your faces with an opponent stronger than yourself
survive the encounter with bunny ( reward: 5 stat points, level up and 30exp )
wait what?
Bunny was another rising star, she had won so far for two reasons
1) being the fact she was literally a middle school girl so they underestimated her
2) because bunny had super strength and Adam just experienced how devastating her punch was as she had thrown a punch and it tore through the cage like it was paper
what the hell, how strong is that girl Romeo and Adam thought at the same time
the only reason Adam was still alive was because he was faster than she was, he could see her attacks aldo just barely enough to dodge them before he got hit, and so it became like a game of tag with bunny throwing punch after punch and the fat guy kept dodging
it was a strange sight to see, a middle school girl was throwing powerful punches and a fat high school boy was dodging them with fast movements, normally it should be the other way around but with people having abilities nothing was normal anymore
above on the VIP lounge for the fighters Nikita and Sarah where watching the fight
he seems to be in a tight spot
yh, aldo he's faster than her his not stronger plus I doubt he's tougher, but in the end Adam will win
you have faith in him? Sarah asked
no it's not about faith, the odds are in his favour
Adam had been dodging for a while and the crowed of spectators began to get restless at this stupid game of tag
hey are you just gonna keep dodging you meat ball fight back
Adam hadn't just been dodging he was trying to read her attack pattern and he was right to do so because she started showing off more moves like a round house kick, turning it into an axel kick, and even attempted to grabble Adam but he would dodge all her attacks,
urrrrh stop running away Mr meatball, fight me she yelled
ok, you asked for it he said
she threw a punch and he countered with a punch of his own, she was still a girl so he held back a little which resulted is the worst punch anyone had ever seen
you call that a punch? bunny retorted
I'll show you a punch she said throwing a punch of her own but Adam countered again with an even harder punch that pushed her back a bit
it looks like things are getting interesting folks
a battle of punches is about to begin
Aldo bunny took the hit and was still standing it did take effect because she was still holding her face while looking angrily at Adam
she pounced on him throwing a fury of kicks and punches but Adam dodged them all thanks to his speed being Abit higher than hers
he countered with another punch which staggered her again but then she smiled and whispered something
the fight continued but when Adam countered but his lunch did little damage and most of all he only grazed her
shit when she whispered she must have distributed her stat points, this is bad, now her speed is almost equal to mine
Adam might loose here Romeo thought
damn it kid you shouldn't have rushed in the day after your debut Nikita thought
Adam was in a real thighed spot, Aldo he was still slightly faster it didn't mean much anymore because it was clear she was better than him in almost every way
her moves seemed to be like karate, and to make it worse one hit from her was enough to kill him
Adam is in real danger, should I step , I can teleport him out of there Romeo thought but what was stopping him was the smile in Adams face, he hadn't lost hope and for the very first time, he was enjoying himself
life on the edge is really exciting Adam said to himself, ever since he leveled up when those goons attacked him he fell in love with the feeling of growing, getting stronger, the system status window was a constant reminder to him of how much he had grown, he loved the feeling because it showed even tho he's looks hadn't changed much at all he had grown from his former self
I will grow stronger and survive, no matter what Adam said to himself, his drive, his will power was solemnly on surviving and to survive he needed to get stronger, and no better way to quench all that than living life on the edge, with his determination and drive on an all time high Adam countered her punch with a punch of his own
hammer head counters again but bunny is just taking it head on like it's nothing the commentator said
the crowd was finally getting a real fight and they where glued to every move they both made
at a point she went for a kick but Adam countered sweeping her leg of the floor taking her down, he was getting use to her attack pattern as she stood up he sent her flying back head first with a super kick, as she bounced of the cage Romeo yelled
now don't let up
Adam went straight in for a punch but just then bunny threw a punch of her own, she knew she could take his attacks but the same couldn't be said for him
At just the right moment Adam shifted his head making the attack graze his cheek but even with that half his face was swollen
the spectators gasped as that was a close call, they all knew he chose the evolution category so he wouldn't be able to survive even a single hit from someone with super strength
I was so close bunny said looking at Adam, she went back in and Adam's guard was up more than ever, his life would have been over by that miscalculation but he managed to escape, as she attacked him he kept dodging but then noticed something, her attacks weren't as fast as before, they went back to her regular speed, seeing this romeo and Nikita had the same thought, she getting tired
bunny had been firing at all cylinders with full force, trying to end this fight as quick as possible like her usual matches. At first she was holding back but when Adam became too annoying she stopped holding back, she didn't realize it but she had worn herself out and Adam wouldn't loose this opportunity as he countered when she leaped up in the air to deliver a kick but he grabbed her leg and slammed her to the ground
self defence 1.0.1 use your opponents force against them, at least I remembered that much from Nikita, as bunny was getting up she reserved a kick to her tempo. Normally she would react in time but her fatigue was getting to her and now she was stunned, Adam was able to capitalize sending blow after blow at her head
By the time she regained consciousness the fight was over and Adam had won his second match
