Breck and Shizuku moved to the front of the line, and anyone who stepped forward fell with a single look. The receptionist started sweating, her eyebrows twitching as Shizuku and Breck stood at the counter.
"H-Hello... What m-may I do for you?" The receptionist asked with barely restrained fear. She knew instantly that the two in front of her were monsters.
"Are you stupid? We are here to join the matches, what else?" Breck said with a raised eyebrow, and the lady nodded quickly, jotting down something on the computer.
After Shizuku gave her information to the lady, Breck did the same, and the two were given a number that would decide when they would fight. Breck did not like what he got.
Breck got the number #2009. Meaning he has to wait until his number arrives, and judging by what he heard, the number of people he has to wait for is about 23!
"Tch! Whatever. I can use this time to check what my affinity is anyway," Breck shrugged as he moved towards a vending machine and brought a bottle of water.
"Shizuku, what is your Type? I know conjurer, but do you have a certain affinity with others?" Breck asked with curiosity. Shizuku has a conjurer, but he wants to know if she has something else.
"I have Enhancer. But it's only 60%," Shizuku replied as she placed a cup on a table. Breck poured the water to the top and then put a leaf on the water.
Breck placed his hands on the sides of the cup, feeling his aura flare to life as it enveloped the cup in a warm glow. He focused intently, knowing that what happened next could determine the course of his life and the type he would receive.
As he watched the cup, changes began to occur in the water. First, it turned a sickly blood red, and then a face materialised on its surface.
Gradually, the face transformed into solid bone and began to levitate. Breck could feel his control over it, perfectly maintained as it floated upward.
Specialisation with elements of conjuration and manipulation. Breck turned away from the cup and looked at the ceiling of the building. A grin slowly made its way on his face.
Shizuku watched with surprise before nodding in happiness. She was glad that Breck got something that he liked, though she was confused at the face in the water.
"Well, it doesn't matter currently. There are two months before the battle, and I have plenty of time. For now, let's sit down and wait-"
"Participant #2009 and participant #1980! Please come to the arena and finish your match," The announcer announced through a microphone. Breck grinned as he turned to the arena.
Shizuku followed him, and the two entered, with Shizuku stopping in the stands. Breck jumped onto the arena, and his opponent was also doing the same.
Breck observed his opponent, and he grinned as he noticed that it was a woman. She had long brown hair and brown eyes with a small mole under her lip.
The announcer went on to announce the rules and how the match would be before announcing the start. The woman rushed forward, her fist clenched, as she punched forward.
Boom!
The stands turned silent with a loud rumble as the woman turned into a brown beam, heading into the walls and crashing through, her neck twisted and her limbs going in the wrong direction.
The woman let out a cough, blood flowing out of her mouth and nose. The referee looked at her with a horrified face. He rushed towards the girl and, to his surprise and pity, sensed that she was not dead.
That's probably worse than being straight-up killed by Breck. Not to mention, Breck did not kill her, so he can't even disqualify himself from the arena.
"A clean knockout! Breck will continue onto the next floor! Floor 50!" The announcer announced the news, and the stands were silent as they watched Breck walk out.
The girl was taken to a medical bed, and they rushed her out. To the medic's surprise, none of her important arteries were severed, and that's only because Breck would be disqualified.
After the match, Breck was sent up to floor 50, and he waited there while Shizuku herself waited for the beginning of her match. It didn't take long—just 10 minutes—until her match started.
"Number 2010 and number 1999! Please come on stage!" the announcer called out. Shizuku entered the arena, followed just a moment later by her opponent.
Her opponent was an enormous man, likely the size of four pigs combined. Every step he took cracked the ground beneath him, his weight a formidable weapon.
"Hehehe! You're a pretty one. I will not hurt you too much if you agree to have a date with me after this~," The guy asked, and Shizuku scoffed before raising her palm.
"Ready? Start!" The match started, and before anyone could react, the fat bastard flew out of the ring into the wall. The wall cracked, and the guy fell onto his stomach, barely alive.
The stands turned silent again, and Shizuku walked off from the arena, turning to look at the announcer, who shivered before announcing the results.
His spine was definitely broken from the impact and the hit on him. The announcer stuttered as he announced Shizuku's victory and the ticket to the 50th floor.
Entering the elevator to the 50th floor, Shizuku soon arrived and opened the door, only to see Breck counting some cash. He has managed to borrow some money from the guy lying at his feet.
"Oh? Welcome to the 50th floor! Be careful, it's quite dangerous with a bunch of bugs crawling around," Breck said with a mocking smirk. His tone was light as he walked to Shizuku.
"So this is when we start to get money?" Shizuku asked, and Breck nodded as they walked towards the reception. Their next match is not far, and with the next one, they should be able to reach floor 100.
In the meantime, Shizuku and Breck started eating some cakes. When they left the cake restaurant, they brought almost every cake in the shop, storing it in Blinky.
[Meanwhile...]
Hisoka walked through the streets with a serene and calm expression, a smile on his face. He was currently training, as he had two months to prepare before the match.
His training focused on enhancing his senses and physical power—areas where he believed Breck excelled. Hisoka knew Breck could erase his presence and augment his strength massively using Ren.
"Oh, Breck~ I can't wait to see what level you reached," Hisoka moaned.
Weirdo.
