An alarm clock went off. Bzz Bzz Bzz Bzz And after the 5th beep our protagonist finally shut it off

"Why does school have to start all of a sudden, I just want to stay in bed a little longer." Although awake, he began to think and rest for a little longer

"Things would be simpler if I were just an Icarian or something, oh well, time to get out of bed."

In this world full of unexpected species, our protagonist ended up being a normal human being.

"Time to get dressed then." His room was quite small, with his closet taking up most of the space.

There was no school uniform but you couldn't exactly wear whatever you wanted obviously, which was very dependant on what race you were.

"I don't exactly care what I wear, although I'd love to wear my house clothes I'd rather they stay intact than get burned or slime'd on out there, so this will have to do

He decided to wear a cyan long-sleeved shirt, with some grey sweatpants, afterwards he headed towards the bathroom to brush his teeth and make sure he looked proper.

Theseus was a blond boy with eyes that changed colors depending on whatever shirt he put on, he was the average height and his physique was pretty impressive, he had above-average muscles throughout his whole body though he didn't like showing off, and his hair was somewhat spiky.

"Good looking as always." He says whilst doing finger guns at the mirror " I wish these sweatpants were more comfortable but since they need so many resistances I guess it makes sense, time to go eat something."

"FOOD IS READY." Yelled his Mother, Martina.

She always cooked for him every day no matter how sick or hurt she may be feeling, she did this because she enjoyed it, making people happy is one of the many things she adores in life.

"COMING" He rushed down the stairs eager to eat whatever was prepared, and to his surprise, it was simple scrambled eggs and bacon with orange juice.

Martina was a beautiful mother who had dark short black hair and green eyes, she was shorter than her son by about ten centimetres.

"Sorry I didn't try so hard, but you need to eat quickly I don't want you to miss your first day."

"Anything you make will always be delicious don't you worry." He says whilst patting her head. He sat down happily and began to enjoy his meal

With his mouth nearly full he asked "Where's dad by the way?"

"You know how he is, probably sleeping as usual." She began to to wash some leftover plates.

"I would've liked for him to say goodbye to me but oh well."

"I know honey, but he worked really hard last night and-"

"HA HA HA, YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD FORGET YOUR BIG DAY TODAY." Theseus's Father barged into the room with a grin on his face

"DAD!"

He hugs him from behind almost in a chokehold-like position.

"REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU ALRIGHT, IF ANYONE FIGHTS YOU" Theseus mimics his speech.

"ALWAYS DP ON WAKE UP."

"HAHA Good good, now what does Oki mean?"

"Really? You could do a harder question but it stands for Okizeme and it's when your opponent is waking up so you either do an overhead, a low, or a grab forcing them to guess."

"That's my son."

His father was blond with short hair just like him, he had nice emerald eyes and seemed incredibly strong, especially for someone who seemed to play video games a lot, he was in his mid thirties and would love to play fighting games with his son. They both had a deep love for fighting games, and would always quiz each other to make sure neither of them would forget their roots.

Martina let out a deep sigh "One day I'll understand what you two always talk about."

"It's not that complicated to understand fighting game jargon my dear, but you always get mad when I beat you."

"WHO WOULDN'T." You could almost see a vein popping out of her head.

"THESEUS, YOU HAVE LIVING PROOF RIGHT HERE." Said his Father pointing at his Son

"WELL STILL IT ISN'T FUN."

"Oh come on Mom, you just need to adapt that's all."

"You two continue this and you aren't eating dinner."

Theseus looked at the clock and began to hurry "Alright alright, I gotta go now anyways, thank you Dad, Love you both."

"WE LOVE YOU MORE." They say together.

It was eight thirty on the dot by the time he left the house.

"I'll just take it easy, no point being in a rush."

As he opened the door you could see the incredible amount of life there was, the city he lived in was modern and people of all type of different races could be seen, some were flying others were on fire, the vast majority of people had either blue or red skin and then there was Theseus, just the average human, they may be on the lower percentage of the population but compared to everyone else they just didn't have anything special, they couldn't fly or breathe fire, and the next rarest thing after them were descendants of the moon and sun themselves, talk about bad luck.

Whilst walking towards school he would stare at the sky.

"I wonder what I'll do in the future, I could be a psychologist, or maybe a gym trainer, or a coach for a fighting game, I'm not too sure what I fully want though, not like I need to worry about it right now but I guess but, it bothers me when I don't know what I want, I'll worry about it when the time comes, that's that and this is this."

The school he was going to wasn't anything extraordinary, just a simple school, as he entered he noticed that mainly those with wings arrived earlier, he looked for his class and sat down waiting for the teacher to arrive.

An Ifritian arrived early and was instantly caught by the fact a human was in the same class with him "HEYA, Didn't expect to see a Human here, The name's Baru, Baru Ino."

He put his hand out as a friendly gesture

"Ino? Like the character? That's interesting."

"Great to meet you too, My name is Theseus Adonis Cirillo Lambros, but you can just call me Theseus."

Theseus reciprocated the gesture

"Quite the big name huh, any reason for it?"

"Not really no It's just a thing in my family."

"Well, It's nice, wanna hang out later at lunch? Or do you already have plans with someone?"

"Nono we can have lunch together it sounds nice."

"Great, see you there then." Baru left quite happily, he was a very expressive person and used hand gestures often when he would talk

He was somewhat skinny with bright red skin, he didn't have much muscle but seemed quite charismatic, he wore an open white shirt with some black pants he seemed as if he was going to attend something important, his hair was dark short and curly as well with his goat like horns curling outwards

The teacher then walked in, he was a Fungian with a red mushroom cap for a head.

"Good morning class, I hope you are all ready for your first day, My name is Fungolomeo, I will be teaching history and math here from now on, let us do the register quickly, there should be a couple of you." He began collecting all of his papers and put some glasses on.

"How can he even see? Where are his eyes?"

"Is Adam Goldthread here?"

"Yes, next time maybe get on one knee."

"I guess Icarians really are all high and mighty."

"You shouldn't speak to your teachers like that young man, is Ash Blazed here?" He sighed at the fact he had to deal with another Icarian this year

"Yeah, I'm here." She says whilst staring at the window

"I haven't seen too many Flareans but I've always found it interesting how they have one eye ball inside all of that fire."

"Baru Ino?"

"You already know it teach, I'm right here."

"Good, now is there a Dagoria Cornus?"

"Yeah yeah, I'm here."

"Her horns are pretty big, she also seems to have an attitude, I can't remember if dad said to avoid them at all costs, or chase after them."

"Good now what about Leon Klein?"

"Of course I'm here, I'm always on time."

"Not surprising that a Blau is here, they're very common and their skin color are always different shades of blue, I heard some can liquify or something but I never really believed it."

After a lengthy amount of time going through each student and talking about one another's interests, the bell rings.

"Alright then class is dismissed, we're going to keep it short for today so once you finish eating come back and we'll end things for the day."

Most of the classroom nods their head.

"Great, I'll see you all in half an hour then."

Everyone starts to exit the classroom, some form small groups whilst only a handful stay alone.

"Hey Theseus, do you mind if Dagoria tags along?" Said Baru with a smirk on his face

"I don't really mind but." Theseus quickly pulls him aside and starts to huddle with him and whisper.

"Be honest, are you interested in her?"

"Haha, you caught me already huh." Baru puts his hands up with a big smile on his face

"Met you just once and I know all about you."

"What can I say, I'm just an open book."

"A Human? And an Ifritian? I wonder If that would turn out well to begin with."

"Hey! Human or not underestimate me and you'll regret it."

"I wasn't I wasn't, I assure you, sooooo, can I ask her to join us?"

"Fine go for it."

Baru with no hesitation yells out "HEY DAGORIA, WANNA JOIN ME AND THESEUS FOR LUNCH."

"This is the worst way to do it." Theseus is overcome by shame

She glances at the two of them for a bit.

"Hmmm, I don't really have much better to do than just scroll on my phone, I guess I could join."

"Sure why not, but you're paying."

"Of course of course."

"Oh, you're paying for both of us? You are so kind Baru, Look at you go."

"Wha-"

"Did you know Baru once saved me and my family from a fire? He also lent me all of his cars because of how generous he is."

"Theseus I'm going to beat the shit out of you later."

"Oh, really Baru? You must be some big hero. She grabs his arm and leans in closer to him

"Theseus I'm going to hug the shit out of you later."

"I'll just play along with their joke for now, seems fun." -Dagoria

Dagoria had an interesting sense of style, she had many tattoos all over her body, she wore blue denim shorts with fishnets, her shirt was black and long-sleeved with a white skull on it, she had bouncy bangs that covered her eyes, overall her hair barely reached her shoulders, she had very thick ram horns that curled into a ball.

The three of them walked to the cafeteria with Baru a little scared on how much he'd have to pay. Most of the food varied depending on someone's race, though if they were a rare race they could simply grab whatever they wanted since their bodies are usually able to eat anything.

"I wonder if they have anything with meat, what are you planning on eating Theseus? And you Dagoria."

Dagoria didn't seem to want to talk too much and stared at her phone most of the time.

"Do they have sushi?" She glanced at Baru and although he couldn't see her eyes she felt her piercing gaze

"Maybe? I kind of doubt it." He began to sweat a little

"Tch, I'll see when I get there." She glued herself back to her phone.

The mood seemed to be at an all time low but that didn't stop Baru, upon entering the cafeteria almost every race could be seen no matter the rarity.

"It's been a while since I've seen so many different types of people." Theseus began to envy a couple.

"My dad works at a restaurant, so I usually see all of them most of the time, except for Solians mostly." Said Baru trying to impress Dagoria

"Oh, even Humans?"

"Of course, I mean everyone loves food at the end of the day no? Speaking of which Dagoria, what do your parents do?"

"Something stock related or whatever, I don't bother learning what sort of shit they do really."

"Is she always going to be this rude?" Theseus thought to himself

"I mean sure, what about you Theseus?"

"Well I know my dad works really hard, but I just mostly play games with him."

"What kind of games?"

"There's a lot I can talk about on that topic trust me, but how about we check out the food first?" Theseus began to get a little too hungry.

"I am kind of hungry, why not."

"Can you two bring me something? I'll just sit over here and wait." She immediately sat down without waiting for a response

"Someone's lazy huh." Theseus began to get annoyed.

"Hey, I have more important things to do."

"Like what? You've just been staring at that phone of yours all day."

"You're just a stupid Human you wouldn't know anything."

"The fuck did you just say to me?" Theseus had a strong determination within his eyes, he was dead set on at least harming her for what she had said.

"Hey hey, how about we all calm down now alright? I'll bring the food whilst you two settle your differences ok?" He quickly hurried assuming they were just hungry

"You're lucky Baru was there to intervene, if not I'd do whatever I want, now at least apologize."

"Alright I'm sorry, it was inconsiderate."

"Good enough."

Theseus sits down in front of her.

"So what's up with your attitude?"

"I joined you guys because I didn't want to eat alone, but right now, eating alone sounds a lot better than staying here with you."

"You still haven't answered my question, I'm waiting." Theseus's tone became more serious

"Anyone tell you you're annoying?"

"No, but they usually call me handsome, great, what else."

"Ugh, listen alright, just keep this a secret between us, I have this sort of, social media account and it's quite popular, but It sometimes stresses me out when I get tons of mean comments it starts to get on my nerves and I lash out at those around me."

"Well if you hate it so much why don't you just stop looking at them?"

"Because sometimes there's some actual good advice, also some people put good ideas or write really nice things."

"Well you still have a lot of the day left, so how about you just leave your phone alone, and talk to us."

"I mean I guess I could."

"Yeah come on, I'm sure Baru is quite interesting, Also I'm sure you don't talk to a Human that often, surely you might have questions or whatever."

"Hmm, well I can't think of anything right now but, didn't you say you play games with your dad?"

"Yeah, I mainly play fighting games with him, but to start off every fighting game is different-" Theseus then went on to talk about countless different fighting games and explained how they worked.

Baru returned after about twenty minutes with some food.

"Is everything better?"

"So then there's this thing you gotta do when, oh hey Baru! What'd you bring?"

"Please help me Baru… he hasn't stopped talking about Fighting Games for so long..." Dagoria was beginning to sulk

"HEY, THEY ARE VERY INTERESTING AND FUN."

"SURE MAYBE PLAYING THEM BUT, YOU ARE FEEDING ME SO MUCH INFORMATION."

"I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE COMPLICATED PART."

Baru remained dazed for a couple of seconds unsure what to do.

"So uh, how about we eat first? Maybe?"

"Sure why not."

"I am kinda hungry."

"Perfect, so for you Theseus I brought you this hamburger, and surprisingly enough they did have sushi Dagoria, though not too much, I got some mac and cheese for myself."

"Thank you very much!" Theseus immediately started to eat.

"Thank you, Baru, maybe I'll return the favour someday."

"Pfft, Don't sweat it, not like I did much, anyways you were talking about fighting right? I found this really interesting boxing match that's going to happen after school, How about the three of us go?"

"I meant more like in a game but, I mean I guess it sounds alright, what do you think Dagoria?"

"I'm not that busy today, and we'll probably finish class early so why not."

They all ate happily talking about various things, although Theseus mainly talked about his fighting games

"Right, so, what's a DP?"

"It stands for Dragon Punch, It's when your opponent does an invincible start-up move that is usually negative on block, but if they don't expect it then it'll set things back to neutral mostly."

"Just how in-depth does this go?"

"Well, I didn't really start explaining too much about the jargon."

"Dagoria? Are you alright?"

She could be seen leaning back on her chair staring at the ceiling.

"I think I'm dead, I can't find heaven's doors, why did I have to get stuck with the nerd."

"Hey! Ugh fine how about this boxing match then Baru, where's it at again?"

"Here let's exchange phone numbers, I'll text you where to be and-" Baru had a pale look on his face.

"Huh? Everything alright?" Theseus got a little worried.

"Y-Yeah well, turns out we wont be able to make it by the time school ends, so we either skip or miss it." At a glance you were able to tell how bad he felt, he hated making plans just to find out it's at the wrong time.

"I mean, it's not like we're doing anything important in class let's just skip" Dagoria began to book a taxi right on the spot.

"I think my parents might be mad but, eh who cares, this sounds pretty fun."

Baru could not have felt more relieved after hearing this "Whew, that's great to hear, I guess we can walk there and-"

"Walk!? I already bought our taxi, we're ready to go straight away."

"H-Huh how do you have money to afford a taxi all of a sudden?!" Baru was shocked.

"Haven't I told you I'm rich? Thought you guys knew."

"YOU MADE ME PAY FOR YOUR FOOD YOU SON OF A-" Theseus quickly covered Baru's mouth and began to take him towards the entrance of the school

"We'll just go ahead Dagoria why don't you check if you want a drink or something."

Dagoria laughed quite a bit and nodded.

A little while after they all conversed in the taxi together, they exchanged information and Baru told the driver where to go. they arrived in a weird area, it was like an alleyway, after a bit of searching they found an alleyway that led down to the arena

"Really? You really expect me to go down these shady stairs?" Dagoria was second guessing whether she wanted to go or not

"Well, yeah?"

"Oh come on Dagoria, You'll be fine you have two, well, one strong guy next to you."

"I guess."

"Hey don't agree with him!, Theseus you!."

"DOWN WE GO THEN." Theseus ran down the stairs as quick as he could

"Guess I'll follow."

"One of these days I'll hit both of you." Baru seemed annoyed but got over it quickly

They all descended down the staircase, It led to a secret underground boxing tournament where a lot of Blaus and Ifritians seemed to be gathering, it was quite compact with not much room to move but everyone seemed super pumped as to what was going to happen.

"Wow, I've never been to one of these." Theseus began to feel the excitement around him as it rubbed off onto him a little.

"Yeah same here, maybe I'll film some parts." Dagoria kept her phone in hand just in case.

"I don't think that's the best idea but, maybe some of the fight." Baru felt a bit concerned for legal reasons

"Hmm, I'll think about it."

"So when is it going to sta-"

"LADIESSSSSSSSSSSSSS AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNN, WELCOME WELCOME ALL THE BOXING MATCH OF YOUR LIFE, THIS IS THE DECIDING FACTOR OF WHICH RACE IS BETTER, BLAUS, OR IFRITIANS, JUST WHICH ONE OF THEM IS SUPERIOR."

"IFRITIANS ARE NO DOUBT." Was yelled from side of the arena

"BLAUS NEVER FAIL." Was yelled from the other side

"CALM DOWN AUDIENCE I ASSURE YOU, YOU'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH."

A man in a purple-golden suit who seemed to be Human was the announcer, he wore a big top hat and a mask concealing his face, he held a megaphone in one hand and in the other a golden cane.

More people started to go down the staircase, The ring was in the direct middle of the giant room they were in, about five hundred people seemed to have gathered.

"ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUU READDDYYYYYYYYY?"

"YEAHHHHHHH."

"I WANT TO SEE BLOOD."

"I WANT TO SEE THEM KILL EACH OTHER."

"GET THEM OUT ALREADY."

"THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR, SO, IN THE LEFT CORNER WE HAVEEEEEEE REXIKAS, THE MAN REPRESENTING THE IFRITIAN RACE, HE IS FIERCE, STRONG, AND MOST DEFINITELY AGILE, BUT HE HAS TO FACE, BERTHOLD THE BLAU OF LEGEND, THE MAN WHO CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD GAINING A 'SECOND WIND' ."

"Second wind? The hell is that." This piqued Theseus's interest

"You don't know Theseus?" Baru was surprised most people didn't know

"Am I supposed to?"

"Well, I think it's better you just see it."

"NOW, LET THE FIGHT BEGIN."

Rexikas screams at the top of his lungs and starts charging at his opponent, Berthold responds by keeping his guard up and looking for the perfect opportunity.

Within a three-meter distance, he makes his move and throws a right hook, Usually, this would be a terrible move, three meters away is way too far, but, something happened when he punched, something not visible to the average eye appeared to hit Rexikas, not only that but it knocked him a few meters.

"IT SEEMS LIKE BERTHOLD USES HIS SECOND WIND TO OUT-RANGE HIS OPPONENT JUST WHAT WILL HE DO."

"HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT YOU RED FUCK."

"YOU LITTLE SHIT YOU'RE CHEATING."

"CHEATING? SECOND WIND YOURSELF AND FIGHT ON EVEN GROUND THEN."

Rexikas's plan didn't change he charged straight back at him thinking he would win.

"Really? Come on, you should know that it's fighting game 101, if you do something and your opponent punishes you for it, then it won't work no matter what you do, you need to adapt." Theseus said to himself thinking that he could do better.

Again, Berthold did the exact same punch yet this time it seemed like it hit him even harder, he aimed right at his gut forcing him to go on one knee.

"AND THERE GOES OUR BELOVED REXIKAS, WILL HE GET UP OR WILL HE NOT, ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT FOLKS."

"Pfft, this is your great fighter? Really? Let's just end this quickly."

He walks up to the raging Ifritian, and looks down upon him.

"YOU CHEATER YOU-."

He kicks him swiftly with little to no effort.

"Uh, I thought this was boxing is anything just allowed?" Theseus curiously asked.

"I think it's more just fight and done than just boxing."

"Well that's dumb, Just call it fighting and done."

Dagoria seemed a little concerned.

Berthold spits on him.

"Get up, go on, I'm waiting." He mocks him with a gesture to get up with his boxing gloves

"IT SEEMS LIKE THIS MIGHT JUST BE HIS DEFEAT, THIS IS ONE OF BERTHOLD'S FASTEST WINS SO FAR AFTER ACHIEVING HIS SECOND WIND."

Deep within Rexikas's mind he thinks to himself. "Come on body really? Is this all you can do? I can't lose like this I just, my people and everyone around me are wishing for me to win but… the ground is feeling really nice right now… maybe, I can just… rest for a bit and then… do this tomorrow…"

"AND HE'S DONE, BERTHOLD IS THE WINNER." The Announcer holds his arm and raises it towards the ceiling

"Really? just like that? Theseus was surprised at how weak Rexikas was.

"I mean he did have a second wind." Baru seemed to be a sore loser

"I could probably do better." Theseus's ego was speaking

"Really? I mean sure if you say so."

Baru starts pushing Theseus closer to the ring.

"HEY HEY I DIDNT MEAN IT LIKE-"

"Hey, push him onto the ring he said he can beat that shitty Blau."

"He can? Well, I mean sure why not."

Multiple Ifritians pushed Theseus closer to the ring until he finally landed in it.

"H-Hey are you sure about this Baru?" Dagoria was concerned

"What, worst thing that could happen is that he gets knocked out no?"

"Baru, you realize humans are more fragile than others, he could die out there.

"Really? Theseus? I doubt it he plays all those fighting games surely something will work here."

"BARU, HE'S FIGHTING A BLAU YOU REALISE ITS A FIGHTING GAME, OK GAME."

"Well uhm, it seems like it's a little too late, just uh, believe in him."

"OH A NEW CHALLENGER, PERFECT TIMING, BERTHOLD IS SEEKING FOR MORE BLOOD, NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A HUMAN AS WELL, WHAT IS YOUR NAME YOUNG ONE."

"I uh, well I'm here already so, My name is Theseus Adonis Cirillo Lambros.

"I SUPPOSE IT'S TIME FOR ROUND TWO EVERYONE, A SECRET CHALLENGER LANDS IN THE RING, HERE WE HAVE THESEUS, ADONIS, CIRILLLLOOOOOOO LAMBROOOOOSSSSSSSSSS WILL HE OBTAIN HIS SECOND WIN HERE? WHO KNOWS, JUST FIGHT ALREADY."

"Pfft, really? You guys send a Human?" Berthold scoffed at him

"Hey don't underestimate me." Theseus gets into a fighting position he saw in one of the games he's played.

"So, an air punch right? That's just a fireball, all I need to do is just block it, and move closer." He begins to close in to his opponent, slowly walking forward.

"The farther you are the less it'll hurt, but at this point, I'm sure you're weak enough to go down quickly."

He punches the air as hard as he can and a burst of wind hits Theseus's arms as he blocks the attack.

"OW THAT FUCKING HURT, HOW THE FUCK DO THEY EVEN BLOCK THEM IN THE GAME?"

Although it hurt him, he continues to push forwards

"OUR NEW CHALLENGER SEEMS TO BE DOING A LOT BETTER THAN OUR PREVIOUS ONE THAT'S FOR SURE."

"You really want to get hurt huh, fine then."

"WHAT'S THIS? BERTHOLD SEEMS TO BE WALKING IN AND CLOSING THE DISTANCE WITH HIS OPPONENT, INSTEAD OF USING HIS SECOND WIND FROM RANGE."

"Listen kid just give up, you're not made for this."

Theseus keeps his guard up covering most of his face anticipating his opponent's attack without caring for whatever he may tell him.

Berthold gets just outside of Theseus's range but close enough to hit him with an extremely strong air punch, and as he leans back and charges it up, Theseus notices this and takes his chance to land a clean punch straight into his opponent's jaw with no time to waste, yet something felt a bit off, the Blaus skin felt as if it were liquid to the touch.

"AND A CLEAN HIT FROM THESEUS COMES."

"YEAH, HOW'D YOU LIKE THAT HUH, FOR A HUMAN I'M NOT HALF BAD."

"Don't get cocky kid, it'll take a lot more than that if you want to win."

Theseus lost his opportunity to continue attacking his opponent and decided to taunt him instead, this was his mistake, Berthold concentrates all his might and starts repeating multiple air punches directed at different parts of his body one after another, they all feel like massive bricks thrown at him and sound like gunshots, he takes one to his left leg, one to his left arm, and one clean in the middle of his head as he falls to the ground.

"AND BERTHOLD CLEANS UP THE MATCH, REFEREE CHECK TO SEE IF THIS IS A KNOCKOUT."

Deep within Theseus's mind "FUCK JUST, FUCK THAT HURTS SO MUCH, GEEZ, I'm going to beat the shit out of Baru after this… just… do I even want to win? Does it mean that much to me? At this point I'll just lay down and-"

"DONT DIE THESEUS PLEASE, YOU STUPID IDIOT BARU WHY DID YOU DRAG HIM IN THERE, HE'S PROBABLY GOING TO DIE AND." Dagoria starts to tear up a little.

"It'd be a real big shame to see a beautiful woman like her cry, and winning does feel pretty good, I bet dad would want to see me win as well… YOU KNOW WHAT, WHY NOT I'LL DO THIS FOR HER AND FOR MY DAD, I'LL DO THIS FOR MYSELF AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR THE HUMAN RACE I CAN'T LET US BE SEEN AS WEAK, COME ON BODY, DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP I DON'T ALLOW YOU TO, YOU GOT THAT? MOVE, NOW!!!!"

Just as Berthold started to walk back to his corner, and as Dagoria started to cry in Baru's chest, everyone thought it was over, the referee was the only one to notice this change in him he slowly stood up, as if he came back from death just to win this one and only fight.

"Is this what you call a Second Wind? I feel fully healed up already, how about round two then Berthold?"

"W-What? No way a stupid kid like you would obtain something like that, I was being nice before but I'm not holding back now!"

"YOU GOT THIS THESEUS."

"BEAT HIS ASS BOY."

Theseus started to enter the zone but not only that, his eyes were different they started to perceive things slower almost as if he could see his opponent in frames, Usually the human eye can only register thirty to sixty frames per second, but Theseus somehow managed to see each frame individually.

"Ah so if I just block and dodge all these attacks, he'll be in a massive endlag phase where I can do whatever I want, as long as I have more stamina than him I'll be able to keep up, so the first attack seems to be coming from the right.

"IT SEEMS LIKE BERTHOLD IS GOING IN FOR ANOTHER BARRAGE OF ATTACKS, AND THESEUS SEEMS TO JUST BE BLOCKING EVEN AFTER A SECOND WIND."

Berthold calmly starts throwing a barrage of punches one after another each one shooting out a blast of air again and again and again until his arms dropped and felt too heavy and exhausted.

Theseus dodged, evaded, and weaved every blast, although he couldn't see it, he counted each frame that it would take to arrive to him and guessed where it would be at, he tried to close the distance as much as he could.

"WHAT'S THIS? THESEUS DODGED EACH AND EVERY ATTACK? AND THAT POSE, THAT INFAMOUS POSE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN GET READY FOR A SHOW."

Theseus did a drop step instantly into a Dempsey roll, one punch after another with almost no delay, each one stronger than the last barraging his opponent over and over, yet something seemed off with the Blaus skin, although Theseus kept hitting harder his punches started to drive off his skin causing less damage to be done, Berthold noticed this and took the opportunity the second it came up.

"YOU LITTLE SHIT."

"BERTHOLD BREAKS FREE FROM THE DEMPSEY ROLL AND UPPERCUTS THESEUS USING HIS SECOND WIND TO AMPLIFY HIS STRENGTH"

Theseus almost faints from his brain moving so much in his skull, Not only that but as he lands on his back the pain registers within his body.

Berthold, annoyed, walks up to Theseus for the final time.

"YOU ALMOST HAD ME BUT GUESS WHAT, IN THE END THERE IS ONLY ONE SUPREME RACE HERE, AND THAT'S ME, YOUR STUPID LITTLE SHOW ENDS HERE AND NOW."

Just as he had thought, Theseus knew that Berthold would get cocky and have a breaking point, and as he approached Theseus whilst he's down not expecting anything to happen, just as his father taught him… when in doubt….

"WAKE UPPPP DP."

Instantly he springs himself up with his arms and propels himself straight towards Berthold kicking him with both his legs straight into his face.

"IS THAT EVEN LEGAL? WHO CARES! AS LONG AS WE HAVE A WINNER THATS ALL THAT MATTERS, WILL THE UNDEFEATED BERTHOLD FINALLY GO DOWN FOR THE COUNT?

Theseus lands on his feet seeing Berthold on the ground and spits near him. "Should've killed me when you had the chance."

"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, WE HAVE A NEW WINNER, THESEUS ADONIS CIRILLO LAMBROS." The referee grabs Theseus's arm and raises it in the air.

"I actually won huh, to think it'd feel this good-"

Soon after that, Theseus couldn't see anything as his body dropped to the floor, after all he was just human, the adrenaline finally wore off.

Baru and Dagoria both rushed towards him checking up on him.

"Geez can everyone just shut up? It's so loud, I can barely understand anything, and my eyes won't open."

They ended up taking him to the hospital, everyone seemed content with how the match ended, surprisingly enough even the Blaus, although they lost the winner of the match was one who deserved it, and that's all that really mattered in the end.
