At that moment they all saw the sparring interface. Cyril immediately selected Jack's name and sent a sparring invitation. Since he was Cyril's friend well the previous Cyril's friend he wanted to help him out a bit and maybe give him some pointers.
Jack immediately accepted the sparring invitation and they were teleported to an arena soon everyone start popping up on different circular arenas each with a radius of 40 metres.
"We seem to be in another dimension." Cyril mumbled to himself as he looked around at the sky and the ground beneath the arena which were non existent. It was just white.
Soon a voice was heard "Spars starting in 3..... 2...… 1..... GO!"
Everyone really stood where they were but Cyril rushed at Jack. In response he did the same although he was dazed for a second.
They reached each other in about 7 seconds due to Cyril being able to run at about twice the speed of the average human which brought his speed to 8 metres per second. When they were next to each other Cyril lightly punched Jack in the stomach telling him "Pull out your sword this is a sparring match, or are you scared?"
Cyril had pissed off Jack so he pulled out his sword from his ring. It was a plain steel katana. Jack soon cut towards Cyril but stopped mid way realizing that Cyril was his friend and cutting someone with a sword was mental.
But Cyril couldn't care less he had prepared for this after all so he said "Jack attack me with the sword it can't hurt me with your strength anyway and if need be I can dodge." Again feeling provoked Jack attacked Cyril.
They were the only two fighting so everyone was watching them. Expressions of wonder and surprise filled their faces as Cyril dodged Jack's continous sword swings.
"How are you doing this?" Jack asked tiredly as he put his sword into his ring and sat on the ground "My strength is already 13 so how are you dodging?" "Ahh my agility is 20 so it's no biggy." he replied but everyone was shocked some of them had tried training just in case but most of them could only reach 12 in one stat at most they were already surprised by Jack's strength but Cyril's agility was outrageous.
Not all were surprised though some looked at Cyril with hate. "Why did he have to get Haki Master?!" Stephanie said to her self. Somewhere else George said "We have to stop him now or else he will become the most popular!"
Although Cyril couldn't hear them he could see their faces since all arenas were relatively close together. "Trash!" he said softly loud enough for only Jack to hear as he looked at them.
"Indeed they are." he responded. Cyril sat next to Jack and they started chatting
Jack: "So how did you get so strong?"
Cyril: "Ahh they gave me a body training excersice along with my type it was no biggy."
Jack: "Oh how can I get that? Can you teach me?"
Cyril: "What's in it for me?" he said with a devilish grin.
"Hmm if it can make me more powerful, Mhmm I got it! If I get anything with that power you can have one thing." Jack said. "Oh okay sure good deal." Cyril said happily. He knew not only one person could become more powerful, as well there would be quests and a shop later probably so he could just extort an item out of Jack. It was fair although Jack is Cyril's best friend Cyril still needs items especially at this early stage.
'Although I don't know what we can acquire later I need a weapon definitely that's for sure.' Cyril thought as he got up and said "Since you gave me such a good deal I'll teach you somethings on Friday along with it." "Oh sure I can wait." Jack responded with.
Stephanie and George almost immediately started to fight with their opponent. George used a slingshot with lead bullets while Stephanie had a katana like Jack. When Cyril saw George he sighed in relief 'At least they don't have guns that would be a problem.' Cyril thought as he picked Jack up, soon George and Stephanie beat their opponents as they were cruel and ruthless and didn't mind crippling their opponents to win, just to show that they were popular and "special".
Soon 02 came back saying "Since there are now 6 people who have finished up you may send out new invites/challenges." Almost instantly Cyril got a challenge from Stephanie and George.
He picked George and told Jack "List dude fight Stephanie and don't worry about killing her or anything since there's an array allegedly to save us if need be." "But she's a girl." Jack responded with. "Well if you believe in equality fight her like she's a boy either way we all have similar stats now so who cares." Cyril said jokingly as he was teleported to George.
After picking the 6 picked their sparring partners again everyone started sparring. Once Cyril was infront of George immediately George started spouting some bull sh*t "YOU DARE! Just because you got that Haki Master or what ever you think you're better than me?! Well f*ck you! I am special, popular and THE BEST! I'll show you now!"
Soon he started firing lead bullets at Cyril but Cyril dodged all of them while walking towards him. After a minute or so Cyril was infront of George and he started to wail "GET AWAY FROM ME! WTF ARE YOU A MONSTER!"
But Cyril took no pity on the boy who nearly crippled his classmate just to become popular "Man what an inferiority complex you have man just loose like the scum you are." Cyril said as he kicked George in the stomach at full power sending him flyings, albeit without haki.
After winning Cyril silently sighed "Man what is wrong with you kids these days?"
Well I hope you liked the chapter. I know what you're saying generic antagonist. Well I can't make an
in-depth protagonist in one chapter. Don't worry though you'll see George's sorry *ss again. Well I hope you're liking Cyril and the side characters personalities although they don't have much as of yet. Well till next time.
