28 6 - Part B:

It didn't take long for me to reach Arena 3 since it was just right next door.

If I remember correctly, Club Free is inside the Armory.

As I went deeper inside the Arena, I could hear people using atomic synthesis that's coming from the arena main ground.

Boom* Ching* Woosh* Boosh* Bzzzzt*

That made me curious.

I decided to check that out later after I had visited Club Free.

I make my way towards the armory with the help of the school map app.

As I entered the Armory, I saw a bunch of people wearing black suits that looks exactly like what a Mafia wears. They were playing poker while listening to some kind of jazz music that you usually hear in Mafia movies.

"Fold!"

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

"Fold!"

"Hit!"

"Hit!"

They start showing each other their cards.

"Three of a kind!"

"Full House!'

"Two of a kind!"

"Royal Straight Flush!"

I don't know anything about poker, so I don't know who won.

Looks like the guy who said "Royal Straight Flush" gets the chips.

"Oh? We have a guest?"

That overly cool voice sounds so familiar.

A short girl with short brown curly hair who's wearing a black Mafia outfit with a thick sunglasses and a chocolate cigar sticking out of her mouth approaches me.

It was Maple...

"So what business do you have with the Free Mafia?"

As she said while taking the chocolate cigar out of her mouth.

"You're Maple right?"

I'm one hundred percent sure this is Maple. I just had to ask just to make sure that I'm not hallucinating.

"Yeah so what of it?"

I should have bought that drug from Kana earlier.

"Cat caught you're tongue eh?"

I remember there's a saying that in order to know if you're not dreaming, you should feel pain.

"Chop!"

I said while executing a chop on her head.

"..."

"..."

Tears started dripping from her eyes.

"Boss!"

Everyone in the room except for Maple points a gun at me. By the way, the gun that they're using looks freaking real.

I raised both my hands up out of instincts like I was being mugged.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH! LINEL YOU BIG MEANIE!!"

Maple bursted into anger while hammering my chest with her fist.

I forgot that Maple was strong.

"Aw aw aw aw aw aw aw stop!"

I push her head with my right hand to separate her from me. She was still trying to hammer me with her fist but she couldn't reach me.

"YAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Boss calm down!"

A boy who's wearing glasses that looks more like a businessman rather than a Mafia taps on Maple's shoulder while trying to calm her down.

"Don't wanna!"

Maple said like a little kid who was throwing a fit.

"I'll give you a limited edition chocolate cigar if you do."

The boy that looks like a businessman said persuasively.

"Okie!"

Maple successfully gives in.

In most of the Mafia movies I have watched, there's always a right hand man who controls the entire gang from the shadows. He must be one of them.

He opens his briefcase and gives Maple a box of chocolate cigar.

Maple looks satisfied by it.

She opens the box of chocolate cigar and pops one of them in her mouth.

"So what business do you have with us?"

As the boy who looks like a businessman asked me.

"Nothing in particular. I just wanna check Club Free out but I didn't expect it to be a role playing Mafia club. "

I said sarcastically.

"Ha ha ha! Is that how you view of us? Interesting!"

The boy who looks like a businessman said while smiling wryly.

"Hey! Free Mafia is real you know!"

Maple said to me in protest.

"Yeah-yeah I believe you..."

I said in order not to cause any more trouble.

"As the Boss have said, we are a real Mafia."

The boy who looks like a businessman said to me like he was trying to persuade me.

"Could you stop with the movie like persuasion? I might be tempted to join you guys."

I said to him sarcastically.

"If your still not convinced, why not search it on the uninet when you have time?"

"Will do!"

As I said while heading towards the door but I was soon blocked by two guys.

"Uh... Move?"

"..."

Looks like these two guys won't budge. Maybe I should use atomic synthesis.

On a second thought, they might start shooting me if I do.

"Before you leave, sign this!"

Maple said while showing me a tablet and a stylus.

"Uh... I'm not interested in joining this club."

I said my honest opinion.

"Oh don't worry! This is not for the school club registration. If it is, the boss will be handing you a paper and a pen instead."

Looks like they won't let me leave until I sign this.

I read the contents on what was being displayed on the tablet, and it was the terms and agreement of joining the Free Mafia.

Although I don't believe any of this, there's a lot of benefits in here like free guns, a high paid salary, health insurance and retirement fee.

Below the terms and agreement is a space where I write my name with a signature above it and a send icon below it.

I quickly wrote this on the space below.

Luna G. Silvercrest

While using Luna's handwriting and her signature above it.

It wasn't hard to imitate her hand writing since she forced me to do her homework since we were kindergarten.

Even though this Mafia thing is real, mom can just kick their asses if something happens to Luna.

I press the send icon before giving the tablet and the stylus back to Maple.

As I did that, the two guys who were blocking the exit left.

"We'll be expecting great things from you."

The boy who looks like a businessman said to me.

I left the Armory.

"Bye Bye!" (Maple)

Alright time to check out what's going on in the arena main ground.

I entered the arena and saw a bunch of people wearing a black protective suit and a helmet hovering around the arena using maglev skates while attacking each other with atomic synthesis.

One of them was holding a white oval ball heading towards the right goal and was being chased by three people.

Boosh* (fire bolt)

Bzzzt* (lightning bolt)

Woosh* (Air slash wave)

The guy who was holding the ball was being attacked by the three guys behind him and he dodges them skillfully.

After that, he counters them by quickly turning around and throwing ice daggers at them.

A holographic display appears on front of the three guys.

That must be the barrier's life gauge.

There are three guys blocking the path towards the goal.

They start spamming the guy who's holding the ball with fire bolts.

Boosh* Boosh* Boosh*

The guy who was holding the ball dodges it.

While he was near them, he quickly crouches then synthesize an ice blade and executed a turn while slashing them at the same time.

Tsk* Tsk* Tsk*

Sparks flew out from the protective suit as the guy slashes them.

They were successfully pushed back and the barrier's life gauge appeared on front of them.

The guy who's holding the ball took this chance and made a dash towards the goal by synthesizing a pair of air boosters at the back of his maglev skates.

Wooooooosh*

Toooot*

He successfully reaches the goal and as a result the buzzer was sounded and the score was being displayed on the screens. The score is 0-3.

This is my first time watching a live Spaceball match and honestly it was freaking awesome.

Not to mention it was a 1 vs 6 match. Besides me who was in the audience seat, their were others as well who are wearing the black protective suit watched the match.

All the guys in the main ground (except the one who was carrying the ball) took out their helmets and fell towards the floor in exhaustion.

Some of the guys who took out their helmet were actually girls.

"Huff* Huff* Ace! Huff* Huff* you're so strong!"

One of the guys said who's lying down on the floor.

I wonder if the Ace that the guy mentioned is the same Ace who's my classmate.

The guy who was holding the ball took out his helmet.

As he took out his helmet, a boy- no a girl with a light purple short hair with bangs covering her right eye was revealed.

It's definitely the Ace that I know. I should have figured it out earlier when she started throwing ice daggers.

"It's not strength that I have but skills."

Ace said in a cool manner.

"Huff* Huff* Damn Right! Huff* Huff*"

One of the guys said while smiling wryly.

Ace approaches the guy and synthesize an ice rod.

"Here let me help you."

Ace said smiling gently while putting the ice rod near the guy.

The guy grabs the ice rod, and Ace pulls the rod in order for him to stand up.

If I didn't know Ace, I would find that strange.

"Everyone! Let's take a fifteen minute break. After that let's proceed to drills. Is that clear?"

One of the guy who is in the audience seat told everyone.

He must be the captain.

"Yes sir!!"

Everyone answered in affirmation.

While everyone was taking a break, I left the Arena.
