Eric looked at the girl in front of him with a look of disbelief. Impossible, the person whose even height is not up to 160 cm is beating the person who won the fight against one club only overnight. Was Alfian just exaggerating?
“that's an old story, if I know it will be gini so. I also do not want to deal with Prince. But..” Ivana took a pause for a while before continuing her words.
“sama rich lo, I also have a certain purpose join this club”
“oh, don't tell me you like Prince?” Eric guessing.
“ya is not ***! Please, don't speculate that isn't”
Ivana turned around, about to return to the Arena leaving Alfian and Eric.
“gue your permission in. But with one condition.” Ivana stopped her steps and looked towards Alfian.
“if anything is the same Eric, lo that I demand”

“gue curious, why Ivana suddenly over protective very similar lo ya...” Alfian's speech once both are finished checked by Gio and are welcome to enter the ring area.
“how do I know.. the first time I met him, I have docked even”.
“what does this mean as love at first sight?”
Eric kicked Alfian's hamstrings, making the young man in pastel-colored clothes complain of pain.
“don't ngaco. This is not sinetron”
“as long as she's a pure girl and lo guy, chances are rich so there” Alfian looks his not kapok tease Eric. Eric just kept silent not responding to Alfian's words anymore. His eyes were now fixed on the Arena in the middle of the arena. Ivana came on stage as the host. Even his presence on the stage alone, managed to make the entire audience's gaze fixed on him.
How could the whole attention not be on her. According to the outstanding standards, Ivana was beautiful. She has two blue eyes, pure white skin, and blond hair that are rare in Asia. With little effort, Eric was confident the girl could become a weekly magazine model. But somehow, there was something inside the girl that forced her to stay alert. Either because he had lost to Ivana, or there are other things that do make a self-defense mechanism in Eric to be on standby.
“oke, before starting today's event, we want to make an important announcement. Prince who is scheduled to make a match today, can not come because there are other activities. Therefore, as a representative of El Diablo, I will propose myself”
The audience cheered, some disappointed that a person named Password Prince could not attend. Some were happy to see Ivana on stage for longer.
“oke, The list of matches will be read by Gio as a representative of the Santana Senior Highschool security council The Hive”
Gio climbed to the top of the Arena carrying a piece of paper containing a list of matches that will be held that night.
“wait, I want to protest briefly” said Gio as soon as he saw the list of matches in his hands. Gio asks Ivana to go down behind the Arena.
the list of matches belonged to El Diablo, and Gio only saw it right after Ivana gave her a cue to go on stage. So he was surprised, knowing that the match that day almost all of his will be lived by Ivana alone.
“ya how else? Prince will still have a shooting session until the middle of the mall. Want to wait for him to come back? The match schedule cannot be postponed.even slots for next week already full” Ivana reasoned.
“oke, I know you are strong. but if there is anything what—“.
“ada Alfian” cut Ivana. “that's because I brought Alfian. So that nothing happens that you do not want”
Gio thought for a moment. He is still considering whether this match should continue or not.
“Prince must have its own considerations, why today's game is entrusted to me. You're no more pinter than dia”
Ivana patted Gio on the shoulder, trying to convince the young man to continue the Event which was delayed by the talk. Ivana returns to the Arena with Gio.
“oke, sorry for the interruption just now. Now the first game will start. Please..”
Gio opened his record and started reading out the first match schedule.
“first match, El Diablo as Santana Senior Highschool representative against The Busters”
A man wearing a High School uniform goes up to the Arena. His body is quite athletic. His height may be more than 170 cm. Ivana took off the Hoodie she was wearing, preparing to face her opponent.
“oke, his bet?” gio asked the kid from The Busters.
“if The Busters win, we will take weekly rations to children Santana.” Answer her confidently.
“if El diablo wins, not a single child of The busters can set foot in El diablo” Ivana reply confident.
After being given an aba, the fight began.
The young man from the busters immediately attacked, repeatedly launching successful blows in avoiding Ivana, then spinning and launching a kick into the stomach, making Ivana's body pushed to the Arena barrier.
Gio frowned, there was no way it would not hurt. If something like this had happened in the interval of a few seconds, how could he not worry. But Ivana didn't seem to be in pain. He re-installed the horse to face his next attack.this time, hook directly towards his jaw, and Ivana again dodged. In just a split second, Ivana launches a super-fast High kick that hits the young man's left jaw with a slump. The young man falls down and tries to get up, but falls back. Ivana attacks affect the parts of the body that regulate balance. If that part was hit by a landslide, then it would be difficult to get up and continue the match.
The audience cheered, one opponent successfully subverted. Gio breathed a sigh of relief, it did not take long for an Ivana to topple the usual High School as The Buster. Meanwhile, Eric who watched from the bleachers looked amazed. It was the same kick he faced a few days ago during an eskul demo. Thank goodness he managed to escape at that time. Otherwise, his fate would probably be the same as the child who lost above that Arena.
Next time, he should not underestimate Ivana, although her posture and appearance seem unconvincing, her face is completely deceptive.
“Next—“
