The driving force

Once again the male was back at the Shopping District. Having thought to return to the shop where he purchased his clothing as well as placed his order; he decided against it since the Suit would not be ready till the day before the Games. The exams were months away so it meant that it took time to prepare a suit in general. Walking right past it the handsome male did attract eyes upon him; since he was still wearing the stylish black outfit from when he came here with Kristen. It was then he noticed a small child off in the distances balling her eyes out. Slowly the male approached the child, squatting down to her level and smiling softly at her. "Hello, how are you?" The child seemed to stop sobbing for a moment to look at the male before her. "I..." She looked around hastily. "Are you lost?" He asked softly to which the child nodded. Extending a hand out the male would introduce himself, "I am Riyku Von Rosario, what is your name?" The male seemed rather soft-hearted at this point. "Mary..." The child stated as she took the male's hand. "Shall we go find your parents then?" He offered to which she nodded sadly. "Hmm... Can you be brave for me, Mary?" He asked the child to which the child tilted her head to the side. "Brave? You mean like when mommy asks me to not cry and be strong?" The male nodded softly to which she nodded lightly. "I can. Will it help us find mommy?" She asked to which the male nodded. "Yes. Can you tell me what your mommy looks like?" Riyku asked the child to which the child nodded lightly.

"Mommy has brown hair and brown eyes; she was wearing a pink dress with flowers on it. She is also super pretty and strong." The male blinked before chuckling softly and patting her head lightly. "Alright, Mary. I am going to pick you up and we are going to go look for mommy." Riyku stated lightly to which she seemed confused until Riyku picked her up and settled her on top of his back. "Can you see your mommy?" He asked the child seemed to a bit awestruck by how high she was off the ground. "Whoooooa." She expressed. "Mary," Riyku called out to her to which she looked at him. "Oh sowwie," Mary stated before looking around and then pointed out in a direction. "I see her! I see mommy!" Riyku would follow Mary's direction to which he approached the woman who was looking around worried. "Mommy!" The woman turned towards her daughter's voice who was giggly and happy to see her mother. "Mary!" The mother shouted as she ran towards Riyku. "Oh thank you! thank you!" The woman thanked him more than she probably should have. "It's not a problem," Riyku replied; as he looked at the worried mother she was indeed beautiful like her daughter stated. Helping Mary off of his shoulders he would set her beside her mother. "Mommy! Mommy! I was soo up high! I could see everything!" The child seemed rather excited with her short-lived adventure.

The woman would hug her daughter tightly. "I am so glad you are safe." She stated happily. "I was brave just like mommy! Mister Riyku here helped me." She pointed to him to which he smiled softly. "Take care you two," Riyku stated as he turned away from the mother and her daughter, though the mother seemed to stop him. "Excuse me. If I can have your name before you go. You've been a huge help. I just want to know who you are." The woman asked to which the male chuckled lightly. "Riyku Von Rosario." He replied and was about to continue walking until she called out to him again. "Freya!" The woman called out. "Freya Mendoza." She stated her name in full. "I run the bakery shop at the far end of the district. Stop by sometime so I can properly thank you please!" She added as the male waved her off while walking away. "Bye-bye!" The daughter waved happily before her mother took her hand and they went off, perhaps heading home? Who knew.

Riyku seemed to have continued his venture till he came across a sign that read 'Arms and Armor' Proceeding inside he was greeted with the ringing of a bell and a warm "Heya fella! Welcome to Deyo's Arms and Armor!" The bold and warm voice hit the male heavily to which he blinked. "Deyo?" He questioned before winching in pain as he placed a hand to his head. "Be right with ya!" The male shouted from behind the counter. Shaking the sudden pain away the male proceeded onward. His eyes looked around at several display cases with various weapons from swords to axes. Upon racks happened to be suits of various armors from chain to leather. "Yo!" Deyo the shopkeep shouted from the counter which drew in his attention. Something about the sudden person before him caused pain to spike forth once more throughout his mind which caused him to winch yet again. "You okay, fella?" The keep asked to which the male nodded. "Yeah. Just a bit of a headache." He replied though in truth he knew not why he had this sudden pain. "Well alright. So whatcha lookin' for?" Deyo asked.

"Good question... What do you have for sale? I am assuming those are all only holographic displays." Riyku had noticed a faint 'glitch' and fake shine from the weapons and armors. The keep's brow rose. "Oh? Well, they are just that. Though everything out there is what I have for sale. Anything in particular?" The keep inquired. "For now your selection of swords," Riyku replied. "Alright, just lemme get my assistant to check ya out so I can find ya the right kinda gear," Deyo replied to which the male's brow rose. "Assistant?" It was then Deyo snapped his fingers and some kind of cyborg looking female maid came from the back. She appeared mostly human; except for her glowing bright blue eyes. "Sir?" Even the voice was humanlike. "Assist our guest," Deyo instructed to which the maid seemed to move from behind the counter and approach Riyku. "Going over status." The maid stated as a beam parted her eyes to scan over Riyku several times before finishing up. "Sending data. Data sent." The maid would return to the back area. "Alright, Let's take a look." Deyo would take upon his ID chip to bring up a digital screen, tapping through it he eventually stopped upon the newly processed data.

"Your name is Riyku Von Rosario eh? Hmm... Sounds familiar. Anyways, let's see your level is..." It was then the male's draw dropped completely. "E-E-Eighty-eight!?" Deyo shouted in surprise. "You are only twenty-five!?" He added before looking firmly at Riyku. "Boy... What have you been doing all your life? Hunting dragons!?" Deyo inquired as he slammed his hands upon the desk. Riyku sighed heavily and shook his head with a shrug. "Couldn't say, I have Amnesia." He played it off even if it was partly true. For a solid moment, the keep eyed him firmly before dropping it with a sigh. "Well, I don't have anything fit for a level of your caliber. The best I got is the Demon Slayer and the Angel Harvester." Deyo stated to which the male's brow rose up. "Can you show them to me?" Riyku asked to which the keep noded. A snap of his fingers and the maid from earlier brought requested items to the counter. One blade was purely black with red veins that looked as if they were pulsating; the other was purely white with a dim shine to it. As Riyku moved to hover his hand over them a status window popped up upon his UI.

For a moment the male's eyes widened when he noticed their rarity and what they offered. Not to mention they had this odd plus four next to it. Although, what did replica mean? Was it a remake of the original or was that something else? "Deyo, What is a Replica? Also when you said that you had nothing of my caliber were you referring to the plus four?" The things Riyku inquired about caused the male to blink rapidly. "Yo, Kid... Are you an inspector?" Deyo inquired. Inspector? What was an inspector? "Umm... No. What is that?" Deyo couldn't believe what he was hearing. "An Inspector is someone who can look over that quality of an item. While Inspectors are not really rare; they are hard to come by since most Inspectors join up with those who forge weapons and accessories. They get paid to study over the quality of an item as well as give their stamp of approval on high-grade items." Deyo explained.

So, there were others out there who could see the rarity of an item as well as its condition. This piqued Riyku's interest, but he would save it for another time. It was mainly thanks to this 'system' thing after all. "Well, I can look over them. Perhaps, I was in the past. I can't quite remember everything." Riyku stated to which Deyo nodded. "That's right, you got Amnesia. Well, then how about it. Do you want the items?" Deyo still did not seem to fully buy the Amnesia thing but regardless inquired as Riyku glanced over the status screen once more it was then he saw the value. Both were hefty two-thousand points. Right now he could only afford one and with no way to really know how much the suit would cost he would decline. Plus he still wanted to go over to the Accessory shop. "Too rich for your blood eh? I can tell ya are in school. So, tell ya what. There is an arcade of sorts across the street from here. You can spend ya points to earn points. Sorta like gamblin' ya hear. Though, nothing too big. Though that ain't why the kids go there. It's the cause of the gaming ring ya see." Deyo stated to which Riyku's brow rose lightly. "Gaming ring?" He inquired to which Deyo nodded. "It's a quite simple mate. Anyone of all ages and join and play Gambit's Dance no matter if you were challenged that day. As long as you keep winning you can remain in the ring, but the moment you lose that is all you get for the rest of the day. You can go back the next day to participate as well. Though there is a catch." Deyo explained to Riyku. "Of course." Riyku would agree to which Deyo nodded. "All games are low-tier. Nothing heavy like death matches; of course simple brawls are allowed though that would be the highest tier allowed. From what I've heard the yield for winning a brawl is one-hundred points flat. Other games are like fifty and the lowest is ten. The buy-in for the day is five-hundred points. They gotta make money to keep the business runnin' after all." Deyo explained some more to which Riyku nodded having taken it all in fairly well.

"I guess I'll have to go check it out myself then." Riyku would turn on his heel to which Deyo laughed lightly. "Alright mate. I'll put these on hold for ya since you seem interested in 'em; however, I don't do that for just any customer. You gonna be a regular, ya hear?" Riyku would nod with a wave of his hand. "See you soon, Old man," Riyku stated as he left the store; the ringing bell was outmatched by the sound of Deyo's laughter. Right across the street was a building with heavy tinted windows and a sign that read 'Gambit's Arcade'. Riyku would move towards the building and push open the window doors to where he was greeted with arcade noises as well as cheers from off in the distance. It was shortly after did someone dressed as a hostess approaches him. His eyes shifted towards this woman who was nowhere near as tall as he was. "Welcome!" She exclaimed with that customer services fake smile. Riyku would nod as he looked around and about. "Is it your first time here?" The woman called out over the noise; though Riyku could easily tune the noise out so she wouldn't have to. "Yes," Riyku replied to which the Woman looked him over. Taking several moments to examine him; she just realized how awestriking handsome this man was. A tint of pink took to her cheeks when she gazed into his eyes that seemed to continue to scout out the area. "Well then, allow me to welcome you once more." She composed herself hastily which drew his attention back in. "To the left, we have the Arcade Games and to the right the Dining Area. Behind me is the Gaming Ring; however, to enter you need to buy the pass to get in. Since it is your first time here; the first time is free. As a means to allow you to test the waters and see if you enjoy the Gaming Ring or not." The woman explained to which Riyku's eyes shifted to the directions pointed.

"I'll take you up on the offer for the Gaming Ring," Riyku stated to which the woman nodded as she moved behind the counter she was previously. There she would place a device on top of the countertop. "Inset your Wristband here please." She motioned to the strange device to which the male would follow her instructions. The device would scan the chip of wristband before making a ka-ching sound. "All done, enjoy your stay." Her smile this time around was real rather than fake. The male nodded and move behind the counter and in front of a door frame. It looked like some kind of scanner door, to be honest; with the transparent inside of the frame with text that read 'Gamers and Authorized Personal only.' Well, he was a Gamer so... He pushed through the transparent frame which gave off a pleasant ding sound. Perhaps it was some kind of judgment door that wouldn't allow you to enter if you were not authorized to enter. Well no matter, Riyku would proceed onward further into the corridor. The sounds of cheers and other noises coming about along with what appeared to be a crowd of people seated around a large ring. The only opening was the walkway that was clear for him which seemed to lead to the ring. He was here for partake of this event after all and simply made his way into the ring where several others were indulging in Games. From rock paper scissors to simple coin-flips. Everyone seemed partnered up so the male simply had to wait it would seem. His eyes glanced around here and there watching people win and lose their games. The winners remained in the ring while the losers moved to the spectators seating.

"Hey, you!" A voice called from behind him. "Tall dark and the handsome looking guy that looks like he belongs in a modeling film. I am talking to you!" A squeaking female's voice called from behind him yet again which caused him to turn his head towards the voice. Small, blond twin-tail dyed blue tips woman with auburn iris looked up at him. A lollipop seemed to be firm in her mouth; though that was all that was noticeable. She appeared to be wearing an unzipped black jacket with neon blue lining; her entire upper body was exposed revealing smooth pale flesh and what was probably a black sports bra with neon blue stars. Her lower body happened to be black short shorts that matched her upper attire and black knee-high stockings with neon blue lines. Even her shoes were black with neon blue lining as well. "You shouldn't be here." The girl called at him which caused his iris to shift towards her own. "what makes you say that?" The male inquired as he crossed his arms under his abdominal area. "You might hurt your pretty face." The girl removed her loli from her mouth and pointed it at him with a smirk. The male shook his head and waved his hand about. "A child treating me like she is older than me. I'm perfectly fine." The male replied to which the girl growled. "What did you call me!? I'll have you know I am--" She was interrupted when a male approached the girl from behind. Rather young in age; but wore a butler outfit. "Young Miss, You know that you must not come here anymore. Especially while wearing such a revealing outfit." The worried male would kneel down before her with concern.

"I can go where I please!" The girl cried out as she stomped her heel into the ground and shoved the butler aside. "I have business to settle with Connor! Don't get in my way, Henry!" The girl would stomp past both her butler Henry as well as Riyku to approach another male who seemed to be glancing over his screen. "Connor!" The girl called out to the highschooler looking boy with red hair. His brown eyes glanced up from his screen to look at the girl before smirking deviously. "Have you come here to lose again? Must be nice, being rich." The male called out as he dismissed his screen back into his ID wristband. The butler would sigh heavily as he stood beside Riyku. "Is it going to happen again? When will she learn she can't beat him." Henry muttered to which Riyku shifted his eyes towards the male. "Again?" Riyku inquired to which Henry nodded. "The Young Miss use to come to this Arcade when she was a child. She loved playing all the games in the Arcade, but as she grew more addicted she began to overtake everyone's high scores and eventually was crowned Queen of Gambit's Arcade. That was until a year ago; that boy over there dethroned her. He beat out every one of her scores and eventually defeated her a brawl match." Henry would explain to which Riyku shifted his eyes back towards the girl and Connor. "Is that so?" Riyku mused lightly as he watched the exchange unfold.

"Being Rich has nothing to do with this! I will defeat you! I will win!" The girl shouted as she raised her wristband up to her. The band was even customized with a neon blue lining. Did this girl have an obsession? "Are you challenging me again? That means I get to pick the game." Connor would snicker. "I accept. Of course, the game is a simple brawl." The male would state to which an alert beamed up. "A brawl will be in session shortly. Once all present games are finished the brawl will begin. All personnel not involved in the brawl must report to the spectators seating. No games will be allowed during the event of the brawl." The alert would repeat itself a few more times. It was then chatter filled the atmosphere.

"Again?"

"Doesn't she ever learn?"

"She's just going to lose again. Why does she even come here anymore?"

"Girls should just stay out of gaming."

It felt more like groaning than actual conversation. Henry would look to Riyku, "Come on. Let's go." Riyku would look towards Henry before looking back at the two before nodding. "Alright." They would proceed to the spectator seating and take a seat while waiting for the remaining games to finish. This did not take long in all honesty; no more than a mere five minutes. "The brawl will now begin at the sound of the siren." The voice announcer once again came on before falling silent. The girl seemed to tap the tip of her toes against the ground while the male yawned while they waited for the siren. "How many times has she challenged him?" Riyku inquired to which Henry sighed heavily, "Over three hundred times. Not once as she won.. I am afraid." The response he got was a bit much. Three hundred times eh? So every day she came here to battle this Connor and not once did she win. Something was off here... Either the male was super strong, the girl was super weak. Either way, he would find out shortly.

The siren would ring and the girl seemed to instantly dash towards Connor. A battle cry parted her lips as she vaulted into the air spinning rapidly before bringing her heel down upon Connor. Connor would yawn once more and raise his hand upward to catch her heel. Though the force behind this attack was nothing shy; dust kicked up from the ground beneath him and it felt as if the ring itself shook. "Something new... Did you practice it for days? You should go be a cheerleader, you look rather cute after all." Connor would snicker as he pushed her back into the air. The girl would growl at the remark and when she landed she would dash towards him yet again. This time she seemed to pick up speed and bring her fist forward to sucker-punch him. A chuckle left Connor as he slipped past this fast pace attack and moved around her; lifting her pigtails up to smell them while she continued forward. "Quite a lovely fragrance. Tell me, Cira. Why ruin your beautiful face and smell?" Connor called out. "If anything you could go back to being the simple pretty princess and have anything and everything you wanted. So why take from us?" Connor would growl as he dashed towards the girl, Cira and reached out to grasp her by the hair and yank her back towards him. Only to trip her while she stumbled backward in which he slammed his elbow into her gut which caused her to cough out the air in her lungs while being forced towards the ground. Riyku's brow rose slightly as he noticed how tactful Connor maneuvered; however, his strength did not seem to compare even the least bit to Cira's let alone his speed.

Connor would walk away from Cria with a heavy sigh. "Tell me, why do you continue this pointless bout? Go back to your family and leave us alone." Connor would state to which Cria would push herself off the ground. "Never." She would grit her teeth. Connor glared towards her. "I'll never stop. You are the reason none of the girls come here anymore. You treat them as sexual objects or toys. You believe the Arcade is only fit for boys and men!? I will never stop coming after you. As long as I can breathe, as long as I can stand, I will always hunt you down until the girls can come and enjoy the Arcade once again!" She boldly exclaimed as he took to her stance. Riyku would look around and indeed no females were around. Even more so from when he was at the entrance the only woman was the hostess. "Oh... My Master. I am sorry... If I were stronger I could help you." Henry seemed to sob lightly. Riyku shifted his glance back to the brawl before him. Connor having gone into a fit of laughter. "Your weak ideals mean nothing. All girls and woman should keep out of this place. You treat us men like trash. We are nothing more than mere dirt to you. So when we ignore you dainty prissy and proceed to our sanctuary of gaming you try to invade and bring your bullshit ideals with you." Connor growled under his breath. "Enough of this bullshit! You won't stop coming after me unless I break few bones eh? Well, It's not death combat, but there is no rule against breaking bones!" Connor would dash towards Cira; a sudden blaze of speed sprung from his step as if something had pushed him.

It was then Riyku caught sight of it. Someone in the spectators seating had been providing aid to Connor without being noticed. Riyku did not truly understand how this was being done, but it was there. "Henry... Is there a rule against aiding those in the ring while not being inside the ring?" Riyku inquired to which the male looked to him. "Well... Those in the spectators seating are not allowed to intervene. Only Employees can actually do anything. If anyone is caught doing anything to those in the ring; then they can receive various punishments one of which can even cause them to be permanently banned." Henry explained though in other words there was an Anti-cheat rule. Kissing his teeth the male would explain to Henry. "Connor is being aided by someone in the spectators seating. It's probably some kind of buff spell." Riyku whispered to Henry whose eyes grew wide. "Are you saying he is cheating!?" He exclaimed to which Riyku attempted to hush him before nodding lightly. "Yes. Can you fetch the hostess along with the manager of this place?" Riyku inquired as he stood up. "Well, I can, but what are you going to do?" Henry inquired as he looked up at Riyku. "I can't have the helper running off if I catch him. So I think I'll teach Connor a little lesson. You'll put in a good word for me, won't you?" Riyku smirked as he glanced down at Henry. Henry's eyes lite up as if he were awestruck. "Yes of course!" Henry hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the area while Riyku glanced over at Cira who was taking quite the beating from Connor. Her clothing covered in dirt and blood along with bruises on her pale flesh. "Well then... Blink." The male muttered and with that, his person vanished instantly.

Panting heavily, Cira was struggling to keep up while she glared at Connor who was laughing at her. "This is it. Say goodbye to your arms and legs." Connor shouted as he dashed at her yet again to which Cira plopped down on her rear from the exhaust and closed her eyes tightly. It was only until she heard everyone gasp and Connor shout; "What the hell!?" Riyku had appeared right between Connor and Cira; his palm blocking the fist Connor had come at Cira with. The force had kicked up dust and even shook the entirety of the ring to a massive degree. Cira would slowly open her eyes to see the tall man from earlier, "Y-you... Model guy..." she spoke through heavy breathing. "You put up quite a fight there, Cira," Riyku stated as he looked back at Cira with a smile before glaring at Connor. "What's your problem man!? You can't intervene in the middle of a game!" Connor shouted to which Riyku snickered as he pushed the male back. "Considering you have been getting aid from someone in the audience." Riyku would snicker. "Wha? Cheating!? As if!" Connor shouted. The crowd seemed to gossip here and there. "Cheating?" Cira quizzed. "Yup, someone has been providing him buffs throughout your bout. Initially, his speed and power were overall lower than yours. As the battle went on though, he seemed to get stronger. In a one on one, you would have already dusted this guy. However..." The male would glare daggers at Connor. "You were going to break her bones with buffs you got from outside help eh?"

"As If! You don't have proof!" Connor shouted to which Riyku snickered. "Then let's see... You can use those buffs on me. However... I'll be sure to engrave true terror into your flesh." Riyku snickered as he slammed his fist together. Connor would grit his teeth; the sheer coldness coming from Riyku's words was enough to send shivers down his spine as if he were being intimidated. It was then... 'Blink'. Riyku's body would vanish from the spot and appear in front of Connor who squealed like a little girl at the mere sight of Riyku's wick grin before his body was launched skyward from a fist to the chin. Instantly; it was a knockout. The unconscious eyes from Connor were more than enough to prove that and even more so it seemed his 'friend' from the seating had stood up and was about to make a run for it. That was until the hostess, Manager, and Henry all stopped said person in their tracks. Riyku would exhale a breath before looking back at Cira who was holding her bruised arm and approaching the male. "You... are hella strong... for a model..." She spoke weakly before seeming to collapse towards him. Riyku reached out to catch her a slightly worried look on his face before he examined her body to make sure there was no immediate danger. Once he cleared that up he would scope her into his arms and carry her out of the ring. The people in the seating were all silent and awestruck; "Everyone out!" The Manager shouted. "Now!" He added to which everyone left; right after Riyku did with Cira. They seemed to be waiting in the lobby now when the Hostess, Henry, and the Manager approached with both Connor and his accomplice. "Are you Riyku Von Rosario?" The Manager inquired to which Riyku nodded. "I am." The manager would sigh heavily. "I must thank you for what you've done. You not only saved our backers daughter but also got rid of the nuisance that was plaguing our Arcade." The Manager stated while Henry took Cira from Riyku. "So you knew?" Riyku inquired to which the Manager shook his head.

"Not in full detail. We figured something was odd with how someone as strong as Cira who is in a Pro Division continuously lost to Connor who was is the Polished Division. We suspected cheating at first, but through investigation found nothing. Therefore we could not take action. Though, I am glad you came along. You see, Cira is the daughter of Maverick Marvin. Maverick was the founder as well as the supporter of Gambit's Arcade. He went off to great more business like the Arcade here but is also the Backer of our Arcade as well. So you see, we were glad you saved Cira. If anything drastic were to happen when it did... Who knows what would have happened." The Manager explained to which Riyku looked towards Cira and Henry. Henry would confirm the claim this man said. Riyku would then look back to him and shake his head. "I don't like cheaters. So no need to give me anything." He stated; however, that was almost contradictory since his 'system' far exceeded their own as well as the fact that he came to this world at a high level, to begin with. The manager shook his head, "We won't take no for an answer. Please, let us provide you with at least three hundred thousand points for your trouble." Riyku blinked rapidly at the amount offer. That was more than enough to get those weapons as well as have plenty more to spend later. Composing himself perfectly he would nod. "Very well. I'll accept. Though, May I be allowed to come again?" Riyku inquired to which both the Hostess and the Manager nodded rapidly. "Of course! We will welcome you. Also, we will you a V.I.P Pass so you get discounts on all games and even the Dinning area. There are also exclusives VIP areas for the Dining Area as well." The manager stated to which Riyku nodded. "Okay, Thank you." He stated to which the Manager shook his head. "No! Thank you! Mimi! Please apply the points and VIP Pass to his wristband." The Manager told the Hostess. "Of course! Right, this way please." She asked Riyku to follow him. "Henry, do take care of Cira for me and her father." The manager asked to which Henry nodded. "I already called the house and let them know. They are on their way now." Henry replied. "Thank you. If you'll excuse me... I need to finish this mess up." The Manager would drag both Connor and his accomplice somewhere. Henry would bow to Riyku, "Thank you Master Riyku. Please, stop by the Marvin residence whenever you can. It is right past the schools in the opposite direction of the shopping district.

Riyku would nod to Henry to which the male left with Cira in his arms. He would then look towards Mimi the hostess who brought up the same device as before and placed it on the counter. "Handsome and chivalrous... that is quite a deadly combo to any woman." She attempted to flirt with which to which Riyku merely smirked as he placed the wristband where it need be and she began the process. "Those are the type of men you are into? I could've sworn it was the more dangerous ones." Riyku teased to which she sighed happily. "Are you dangerous?" Mimi inquired as she went through the process. "Perhaps. Guess you'll have to find out on your own." Riyku replied with a wink which caused her to coo lightly. "Quite the tease you are. I'll be keeping my eye on you, Rosario." Mimi would wink when they finished the process with the ka-ching noise. "All set." She stated before blowing the man a kiss who seemed to purposely 'catch' the kiss on his cheek before leaving with a wave of his hand. "I'll be back another time." He called out as he left the building. Cira and Henry were nowhere in sight; perhaps they had already left. All that was left now was to return to Deyo and get those weapons. Judging from the time of day; he spent maybe an hour in that Arcade. Well, he still had a few hours to kill before his scheduled plan to go to Racheal's place. Riyku would walk over to Deyo's shop and push through the doors. Empty as it was when he first came in, yet the old man well he wasn't really old. Mature in age, but not old; had still been at the counter only this time he was polishing some breastplate. "Oh, Welcome back. Did ya get anything? You were only gone for about an hour." Deyo stated to which Riyku smirked and approached the counter. "I did, I'd like to purchase those swords now," Riyku stated firmly to which Deyo nodded and snapped his fingers. The maid from earlier brought up the weapons again.

Bringing up his Gamer Status from his wristband the screen now read:

Rank: Polished (180)

Wins: 4

Losses: 1

Draws: 0

Points:302,127

Gambit's Arcade Battle Pass: VIP Status

Nice! His points were now over three hundred thousand and he even gained something new. Perhaps it was that Pass the Manager spoke of. As he confirmed this, Deyo looked at him. "So how many points ya get anyway?" Riyku would grin widely as he turned the screen towards Deyo who looked over it before going eye wide. "What the!?" "How in!?" "Nevermind... You're gonna be a regular right? That was your promise!" Deyo shouted as if he were trying to keep his customer. Riyku smirked and nodded. "Of course, that was the promise. Now you just got to keep up with the weapons and armor. If not, I might go elsewhere." Riyku stated to which Deyo smirked as if it that were a challenge. "Of course, Brotha! What else might ya be interested in lookin' at other than the two swords? I got Daggers as well as bows all kinds of things ya might fancy." Deyo stated in which Riyku dismissed the screen by tapping upon the ID chip. "Let's see them then," Riyku stated with a smirk and Deyo nodded with a bright smile. "Take a look!" He would bring up a digital catalog for the male to look through. One could tell from the various weapons and armor on this catalog that, Deyo and Riyku were going to become quite close friends and business partners in the near future.
