'I need to gather my self up! I should put the past in the past! and move forward in the present! Else, how can I be the strongest player if I would always act this way! It's time to change and trust my self! I have the undying cycle and my past experiences as a weapon! It's time to show them who the new Pedro is...' He claimed to his self as he pushed the doors of the battle arena.
Booog! the doors of the ship's battle arena slammed open. Pedro entered the battle arena in a calm and cool manner. The overcoat looked good but he wasn't that comfortable with it since he was just used to wearing jackets or hoodies.
"Everything's ready! Elder Brother Urse has already prepared the arena! So... what's your rules?" Beatrice spoke pridefully as she stood near the five feet plus tall American looking man who has a big body like a bodybuilder but his face and hair was a bit messy as if he had just woke up from his sleep.
Pedro bowed slightly to Urse as a sign of respect. He considered all of the other NPCs in the ship as his senior. Urse then nodded and walked towards the battle arena control room.
'Senior Soledad's apprentice? Seems like Senior is up to something!' Urse uttered.
'Well then, Let's start!' Pedro thought inwardly as he saw the departing figure of Urse and as he turned his glance to Beatrice.
"Rules... right? ... I had only three! First, no control or silencing spells!" Pedro informed that shocked Beatrice and the others who were watching either the live broadcast in the arena, like Madame Soledad and "Comodoro de Armada" Alivia, or those who watch in the battle arena, namely Joshua, Carlos and the Battle arena moderator, Urse.
The battle arena was similar to that of a basketball arena. The main battle area was located in the center. It was wrapped by a white, transparent, soft glass looking material with some green lines in it. When one gets close to the green lines, you can see that it was a written incantation of some sort that heads straight to the battle arena control room. This can somehow reduce the impact of the battle to the ship, and at the same time, if something unexpected arose, it may reduce the damage dealt with the ship.
Surrounding the wrapped main battle arena was the viewers' area. Here, anyone can enter and watch rank matches. It was parallel to the two longest sides of the battle arena. There were sits just like in a cinema but the sit in front was a bit lower for convenient watching. This was designed this way because of a tab like in front of the seats. The same green line runs through the monitor to the control room. This was used in betting, that was only available and allowed inside the battle arena.
on the area located, parallel to the short sides of the battle arena, the VIP lounge and the battle arena control room was located at each side. The difference was that on VIP lounge the noise made on the viewers' area was muted. Hence, they can fully hear the conversation and had a sense of peace in watching. This was especially true when two high ranking personnel or official would battle. Never the less, the chairs were also special and some special features were added.
The live stream was caught by a piece of magical equipment placed in different angles of the battle arena. This made the live stream, that was available to all personnel in the ship to watch, of high quality and as if you were watching in the viewers' area. The only difference was... well, you can't bet!
...
Returning back to Pedro's first rule... "no control or silencing skills allowed!"
Earlier, when Carlos and Joshua were about to arrive and saw Pedro outside the elevator control room, He received a system notification, however, since the 'might of pain' skill caught his attention, He paid less attention to it. Later on, when they were walking to go to the battle arena, he checked his interface and read the notification.
The interface indicated that Pedro was put into a controlled state. It didn't cause him any damage but he lost control over his body. If an enemy has a control skill, he/she could just render Pedro immobile and Hit him till he dropped dead. When it comes to worst, the enemy could just keep recasting a control skill and make Pedro suffer from not being able to move while being conscious, A torture at that.
He had a hunch that either Joshua or Carlos did it.
Silencing skill was basically the overpowered type of skill. Although most of the silencing skills in his past life, same goes for Mathew's, affects only the active skills of the target, he can't exclude the fact that an NPC of unknown strength might have a silencing skill that may affect his passive skills, including the 'Might of Pain' and 'Undying' Skills. Fortunately, potion injector was an item so its effects can't be silenced.
...
"Those Brats..." The surprised Madame Soledad exclaimed angrily and grasped her hands tightly.
"He's good... Carlos and Joshua might have done something earlier, but he was able to quickly adjust!" Alivia responded in a somehow a bit interesting manner.
...
In the viewers' area...
"No secret last long!" Carlos claimed
"I just tried to make him relax a bit, elder brother! That's all!" Joshua defended like an innocent child
"Explain that to the Vicealmirante!" Carlos chuckled in response
...
"Ok! It's not a big deal! I don't even have such skills in my arsenal!" Beatrice replied proudly
"Then it's settled! Next, the battle will only end when one is either rendered unconscious or surrenders! Lastly..." This was a usual condition on a rank match, hence, they were not intrigued by it. Pedro paused a bit before saying the last rule.
"No time limit!" (Screen shows various looks of those who were watching, Lol) All of those who were watching were astounded by what Pedro said. The longer the battle last, the more disadvantageous it becomes for him. Beatrice was surely stronger than him, especially in terms of magical ability. That's what those who watch and Beatrice thought, but to Pedro and Madame Soledad, He has still at least had a forty percent chance of winning. That was high enough to have hopes that Pedro would win.
"Very well! I accept your rules... Be reminded though... the match won't take that long! so prepare yourself to lose!" Beatrice agreed with full of pride and confidence. She then grasped a silver sword located near her waist as She wore a huge grin on her face.
"Then it's settled!" Pedro walked around ten meters away from Beatrice.
"The battle is about to start! Please place your bet's!" Urse spoke in the battle arena control room that somehow echoed to the whole arena and the tab like a monitor in front of the occupied seats in the battle arena became lighted.
...
"Brother! how about we bet?" Joshua suggested to Carlos. The arena was almost empty, besides Carlos and Joshua, there were only a few personnel that can be seen in the battle arena.
"What should we bet at?" Carlos was still feeling dejected, knowing that Madame Soledad will scold them once they see each other. First was for Pedro getting involve in a rank match with Beatrice, Second was for the control skill incident.
"The Loser would be the one to face the Vicealmirante and explain about the unexpected happenings!" Joshua innocently explained like a kid.
"Does that count as a bet? Haha... Then I go for Beatrice to win!" Carlos then tapped the picture of Beatrice in the tab like a monitor in front of him.
"Then, I'd bet on him then..." Joshua tapped the blank box with a question mark in the tab like a monitor. Since Pedro has just arrived at the ship, he didn't have an account yet, hence Urse set the anonymous avatar for Pedro.
...
"It's too sad we can't bet!" Alivia complained.
"Haha... It's good... you'll save some of your money! hahaha!" Madame Soledad laughed confidently.
...
"This looks interesting!" A man uttered as he puffed out smoke, and was watching inside a dark room, where only the monitor was glowing. It showed the live stream of the battle arena.
Although it might not seem like it, every monitor of every personnel in the ship, be it the bar area or the ship's bridge, there was a monitor displaying the live stream on the battle arena. Hence, every personnel and official in the ship was watching.
...
Seconds later, Battle arena moderator, Urse, spoke...
"The betting period is complete! Let the battle begin!"
