"What a knock down! No wonder theres been so many rumors about this man! Could he really be the Adonis?!" The Announcer said. Which caused many of the women to laugh but some to cheer, and others to 'Oooo' as many of them reacted to the proposition in a variety of ways.
Only made sense due to many knowing it as a story, a joke, and others much more closer to fact.
Leroy particularly rolled his eyes. Of course such a thing wouldn't have been able to stay under the radar.
The Captain then looked to the Leader of the Island who he caught at the tail end of a scoff.
What an Interesting island…
Leroy put his hands on his hips as the could hear the still strangely muffled sound of the Announcer pointing to the Big Cat Entrance again. Another woman coming into view
"And the Next Competitor, you've seen her before on the National Volleyball Competitions! It's-"
"Bare Hikyu!"
She wore a volleyball uniform. A tight jersey with the number 109 on its fabric. She also wore shorts that exposed toned legs. Braces on her elbows and knees. Calf high socks.
Under her arm she held a volleyball. But this volleyball however was incredibly special. It was made of a unique material known Osmiten a special metal that was hyper dense material, combined with stitching made of Carbograph
Osmiten: A Material that weights 13 lbs per square cm. Meaning that this volleyball, which is hollow, weighted 30 Tons.
Carbograph: Said to be the most structurally sound Material in the world in small amounts. There has yet to be any success of building structures larger than a few feet with any success. As too much connection can cause it to become brittle. It can be sliced, and punctured. But under pressure, like a punch, smack, or bullet. It was capable of keeping its structure and reforming into its original shape. With the highest pressure it can withstand almost 8 billion PSI
Hikyu bounced the ball, causing surprisingly no cracks to form on the ground, as the ball bounced between her palm and the ground
She had quite the spunky attitude. Along with clearly having confidence abound and a competitive grin to her face. Her body was strong in physique
"That was quite the show you just gave. I'm impressed. Cuz that means you'll give me a good challenge right?" She wasted no time starting the fight! Slamming her hand down to bounce it hard! Launching it into the air and then spiking it as she took a hop to meet it in mid air!
"Shit!" He spat as he thought to himself 'Its fast!
His eyes locked back onto her last position, but she was gone! He was still falling through the air as he spun around and caught her! She had moved to where the ball impacted into the ground and bounced into air!
"Beach Dig Hit!" She slammed her hand flat into the ball again, causing a tremendous noise as the air cracked! Zipping through the air!
'Not this time!'
Leroy reeled his fist back as the ball sped towards him! 'I guarantee I have the strength to destory the ball…Get rid of it and just catch her by surprise and knock her out with one clean blow!'
'But…I can't help but feel excitement right now…This strange feeling in my heart. Even with everything going on. The cheers…The eyes…And the adrenaline!'
'I'm here to win…But why not take this a bit slow huh? Really give it some time breath. Give it my all…but have some distraction shall we?'
He threw his fist forward. Connecting with the 30,000 kg ball, muscles absorbing the force, and cancling it out, before applying even more into it to send it flying straight back at her!
Bares eyes widened as the ball sped forward! Slamming into her stomach with enough for to knock the wind out of her! Feet Skidding across the ground before stopping mere inches from the edge of the Arena!
Leroy then sped forward, arm cocked back, but stretched to an elastic and stretched 'u' from his body
"Bolt!"
His fist slammed into-
The Ball?!
Hikyu stopped the fist with the ball! Having brought it up mere moments before the fist connected with her sternum! Her body began to be pushed back, leaning back and over the edge of the arena! But her feet were still planted
"Hikyu is still in just barely!" The announcer spoke out
'Quick, go for her legs and knock her ou-' but before Leroy could finish the thought, Bare Hikyu did something surprising!
Using both her hands she flicked the ball forward, causing it to fly from her hands and slam into Leroys face!
The Force rung his bell! Causing him to stumble and two step backwards, quickly however he shook his head a brough his fists up right as Hikyu was in the middle of a jumping Hit!
"Backcourt- Hitter!" Her hand made contact! Sending it spinning forward! It soared forward Dozens of times faster than a cannon!
But Leroy was faster! With his eyes on the ball, he used his muscles to tilt to the side and totally avoid the projectile! The wind washing over him!
'Quick! She's going to move!'
The past times that Hikyu had appeared to hit the ball, she had used her initial attack to be head on, so that when it was close to Leroy, his field of vision would be blocked allowing her to go around him!
Spinning around quickly, he locked eyes to where the player was supposed to be, but-
She was gone! And so was the ball! The only thing giving a sign of the fact that it had been there was crack in the ground which meant that-
'Up! She in the air!' Leroy shot his gaze up to see that she was soaring up! She hadn't gone around this time, she had gone up and over Leroy!
She used her profound skill and knowledge as a volleyball player to predict the trajectory of the ball and how it would bounce from the ground so that by the time Leroy had not only dodged it, she could be up in the air to meet it!
"She's up! And she-!" The announcer commentated on the events as those short moments that Hikyu was in the air, she was bound by the downward pull of gravity, giving only a few moments of reprieve from the superhuman speed!
"Cut Shot! Spike!" She was planning on finally delivering a devastating spike at a sharp angle straight towards Leroy! Her hand came forward, her fully hand wrapping around the ball
This was known as a 'Snap'! Where the hand contacts the ball fully, applying force across it and causing it to begin spinning as the wrist flicks and snaps down while the rest of the arm follows through!
The ball spun! Rolling over itself in the air in a perfect spin! It was moving so fast and with such force that the entire ball was beginning to distort in its shape as it flew forward! It was like an egg! And then into the shape like rolled dough!
'I have to time it just right! If I don't I won't be able to use her mid air position to my advantage!' Leroy screamed internal, his waist bending slightly to the side as the ball got closer and closer!
Right when it was just about to pass him, Leroy enacted his plan!
His hand came up next to him! Passing the ball as he held his hand flat! And then! In one move that took an immense amount of precision that his body was used to conducting, he slammed the palm of his hand into the top of the ball!
He applied so much force to it that it caused the energy it was carrying to be canceled out! Then, just like any athlete would, at any level of strength would, he gave a second dribble.
Giving it a controllable amount of energy to slam and bounce into the ground!
'He stopped it?! The hell is he doing?!' Bare screamed internally as she saw the secondary bounce begin to rise up to Leroys chest! The Captain shuffling and adjusting his position so that he could-
Punch it!
With one hand up and out stretched, the other curled and flying forward, his fist connected with the ball! Carrying it forward as his arm extended forward and up until it couldn't naturally continue, but then he he added a small elastic stretch like a spring unraveling to send it forward!
'Shit! I can't move! It's to fast! I have to bounce off the air I have to-' She wasn't able to even react as the ball came right in front of her…
Blam!
The ball connected with her face in mid air with force causing it to pop and send Hikyu flipping through the air! A trail of blood trailing from her nose as she fell to the ground!
Out!
