The Underground Arena had several waiting rooms, but most were separated into two halves so that the opponents did not stay together. These parts are separated into several levels depending on the fighter's record, and since Yuki is just a beginner-level fighter, he is only allocated to a room where many new fighters are waiting for his turn.
Of course, not everyone who came to fight in the underground arena was a dangerous member of society or an experienced fighter, either, some of them are those who may have debts to be paid and left with no recourse other than to use their sweat and blood to make money, it is better not to owe money to some people in this world or you will face a fate worse than death.
Yuki observed the people in this room quietly as she was about to sit down, and they did the same to her but she didn't care about most of them, either, and his eyes were only attracted to a young man who seemed to be in his twenties.
He has short black hair and brown eyes and is on the slender side, like Yuki but nothing yet.He has a handsome face and is now adorned with a curious expression as he observes Yuki, different from the way people usually look at him.
She wore a black coat with a layer of brown fur that dropped to her hips, along with a plain black long-sleeved V-neck, pants, and dark brown shoes.
Yuki felt this person seemed familiar but she could not remember where she saw him before, so she ignored him for now and decided to mentally prepare for the upcoming fight.
After all, this underground arena was a merciless place, fighting here had almost no rules unless weapons were forbidden, but of course, he prepared himself mentally not out of fear, but out of fear, but to know when to hold back or he will kill someone.
In addition, this place does not have a heavy class, meaning someone weighing +100 Kg can be thrown into the same cage with a person weighing 50 Kg… Not to mention there is no place where you can't hit your opponent. So, many people are eyeing dangerous places like eyes, necks, or dragon balls to close the weight difference Here, the only thing that matters is your record!
To a normal person, this could be the hope of death, that was why most of the people who came to fight in this underground arena were not part of normal society, and many underground gangs and organizations use this as a platform to resolve some of their disputes by sending fighters representing them.
As Yuki pondered over all the information he had gathered to prepare for the next fight, one of the people waiting in the room suddenly saw Yuki's skinny appearance and her cute cat mask before she opened her mouth and said cynically, "you're lost, you're lost, get out of here before I kick your own ass. Tch what this stupid organizer is doing is accepting anyone here"
This guy is a very sturdy guy with a bald head and a bull tattoo on the back of his head.He is the type of person who might come here just for fun, he actually also sent the dark-haired young man in the room looking haughty, clearly saying that those words were also addressed to him.
But what this big idiot didn't realize was that some people in the room suddenly started staring at the dark-haired young man warily as sweat started to gather in their heads and Yuki noticed that the people near the big idiot started distancing themselves from him without attracting his attention.
"Oh, looks like you're confident to win your next fight huh?" Said the dark-haired man with a strange smile, and the people who knew him grew even more frightened.
"You talking to me, boy?" Responding to the big idiot with a savage smile on his face, it was clear he was waiting for Yuki or this kid to reply so that he could 'justify' to beat them up.
"Who else would I talk to if you weren't a big fool?" Said the dark-haired child and Yuki could hear some rather normal-looking people whispering to each other when someone said, "That person is really trying to provoke Izaya-san ..."
"He's an idiot, and he'll soon find out why" someone else replied to him
"You're right" replied the first man.
'Ozaya? It seems that I know this name.' Yuki thought while observing what happened 'Thankfully, I don't need to act, otherwise this idiot will ruin my plans'
The reason Yuki chose this arena was not just to follow its battle structure which was quite complicated for normal people.
The way to raise the payout is to win consecutive fights, for example, you start with 20000 Yen for each fight, but if you win three fights in a row, you start with 20000 Yen for each fight, your pay becomes 60000 Yen per fight.
The same will happen if you win six more fights that will raise your salary to 180000 Yen! However, if you lose even one fight, your payout will not decrease, but you will have to win 9 fights in a row to raise it to 180000 Yen.
But this does not mean that your payments will not decrease. It can happen if you lose more than three fights in a row.
Yuki of course planned to get paid like this, but he also wanted to speed up and he planned to do so by betting on himself. This is where the superiority of its appearance and the weightless class rules in this arena come into play. As more and more people thought that it was impossible for him to win, the more chances would be skewed against him and the more he would make by betting on himself!
So, seeing how the black-haired man named Izaya provoked the big idiot fearlessly, she felt this might be a good opportunity for her since she was short of money to bet on herself, she felt like she was lacking money, and a plan quickly formed his head.
"What did you just call me?" The big man stood up with anger written all over his face while looking at Izaya's unchangeable mischievous face and he ended up snapping when the latter spelled her out calmly "BIGDUMB O"
"YOU!!" Shouted the big man at Izaya and he attacked Izaya recklessly not taking the latter seriously looking at her slender appearance, but Yuki could not detect the slightest jitters from Izaya as she put her hand down. the hand in his coat pocket was calmly before he dodged the thug attack with a grin on his face and a flash of cold light suddenly lit up the room with only Yuki having a glimpse of what had just happened with surprise on his face.
'This person is completely abnormal' Yuki thought as he looked at Izaya who was mocking the big man while saying, "Still want to play?"
"Son, you may be fast, but you have nowhere to run in this restroom-" the big man started talking confidently but then he suddenly started feeling something slide off his body and felt cold for some reason so he looked down and he finally realized that his pants were torn to pieces and he was naked now from the waist down.
And Izaya made it worse when she pretended to be a shy girl and put her left hand over her face and kept peeking at her from the gap between her fingers as she said "Waa, pervert ..."
But no one could laugh at this as they continued to see the small blade Izaya had brought in her right hand, including Yuki.
"You! You know that guns aren't allowed, just wait, I'll make sure to report you to" Big dumbo was about to threaten Izaya but the latter quickly cut him off with a cold expression on his face as he quickly arrived in front of the big man and said
"There's no rule that says I can't carry a knife before a fight, but you keep talking, I don't mind letting you feel what it's like to be slit" izaya said coldly without any more mischief on her face, and the people in the room felt she might actually act on her threat if the big man did not back down.
The big man began to sweat a lot as he felt the sharp edge of the blade that was on his neck and froze in fear until a skinny hand suddenly landed on Izaya's shoulder and a soft voice said, "My friend, my friend, don't go too far, it's not worth the trouble"
Izaya turned her head to look at Yuki in surprise and even the big man could not help but look at her with a grateful look while thinking 'Who would have thought, the man I threatened was the one who would come to help me from this grip.monster' she became very emotional and her eyes started to water especially when Yuki came down and helped her get whatever was left of her pants and said with a sigh.
"Buddy, you must really rethink your choices in my friend's life, you will never know when the table will turn to you ..."
The big man didn't know what to say, and seeing Izaya remove the knife from her neck made her even more emotional as she bowed to Yuki forgetting that she was naked and her butt was finally presented to the people behind her and they almost vomited while saying "thank you very much, I won't forget your help today" The big man felt it was time to turn into a new leaf.
And Yuki, still in a forgiving and generous tone said, "Don't worry, I already feel like I'm getting paid because you want to change"
Izaya who was observing Yuki very closely ever since she placed her hand on her shoulder almost laughed out loud as she looked at Yuki's sincere actions amusedly.
The big man saw that Yuki did not want any payment, bowing again before he left the arena causing people to return to their seats and discuss what happened, and as Yuki sat down, he said, they saw Izaya sitting next to him causing Yuki to let out a sigh and ask, still with her friendly face, "Is there anything I can help you with, my friend?"
Izaya smiled warmly at Yuki as she placed her hand on her shoulder and said, "Not much, I just feel like we're going to get along well, don't you think?"
Yuki started sweating profusely before she said "Of course,"
Izaya nodded with a happy smile before she whispered in Yuki's ear "Good, now, how about we split the money you just stole, I suggest 30% - 70%, of course, 70 For me because I do all the work, do you disagree?"
Seeing Izaya's warm smile, Yuki knew she was staring at someone much more greedy than her as she steeled her heart and she knew that a big fight would start with a fight of words!
'I won't lose!'
