Chapter 10

"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Action/Noise*

==============================

Abruptly stopping the match, everyone's eyes were focused on the group in the middle of the Arena. Even the contestants had their jaws hanging as three of the most powerful adventurers here in Orario, appears in front of them.

The Empress of Orario, the Level 9 Adventurer of the famed Hera Familia, Europa. The Vice-captain of the Hera Familia, Sophia. And the feared level 8 mage of silence. "Silence" Alfia of the Hera Familia.

Their presence alone shows dignity, strength and level that people can never reach. They're the pinnacle of mortals.

Alfia used her Gospel to knock Satoru back. The dust and sands blasted away as the strength of her magic is something not to be underestimated. Everyone watching was shocked to see that the Hera Familia decided to stop this match, but a goddess smiles as she saw this as an opportunity.

Freya: 'Hera's children... I thought they hated that guy, so this is unexpected... But looks like this is something I can work with' She says with a sinister smile.

MC Host: "EHHH?? THE HERA FAMILIA'S EXECUTIVES HAS INTERUPTED AND PUT AN END TO THE MOST EXCITING FIGHT OF THE YEAR! WHAT IS THIS TURN OF EVENTS TO!" The Ganesha Familia member shouted as he incite more.

Sophia: "I will hit his head so bad."

Europa: " I don't like this... I guess when it comes to Meteria, our logic and reasonings are always AWOL huh." Europa said with a dejected smile.

Both of them realized that even if Jason's life is in danger, he signed up for this and it is incredibly unprofessional of them to just butt in to save a defeated member of the Zeus Famila, this is risking their reputation for someone they still hate as of today.

But standing there, with no other movement of sorts, Alfia stares at the dusty sands in the air, looking at the standing white haired man.

Alfia: 'Was it just imagination...? No, it's real... My magic didn't affect him at all. How troublesome' Alfia says as she clicks her tongue.

Gojo: " *cough* *cough* Is there never end to the smokes? I swear this is the greatest enemy I probably face. I hate sand." Satoru says as he walks out of the smoke of sands, unscathed.

Gojo: 'Even so, I can see that the people in front of me are strong... Probably the strongest people I've ever face in my entire life. This should be interesting'

Gojo strengthen his fist with curse energy and prepares to fight the white haired woman in front of him. Every turn of events during the duration of the whole thing has been shocking to the audience. Even the MC who's non-stop inciting the audience, halted to watch the confrontation.

Gojo Satoru is provoking the 'Silence' of the Hera Familia, Alfia herself.

Gojo: 'Hmm? This girl is...'

Without warning, Alfia blasted another Gospel at Gojo. This time, there was no restraints in her attack. But then again...

Alfia: 'I knew it. There's no effect on him. My magic is nothing.'

Alfia saw how Gojo just stands there without moving a single muscle. Alfia blitz and went for a punch to the face, but Gojo just blocked it and went in for the counter attack. Alfia blocks it as well and tries to kick Gojo wit a sweep, but Gojo deflected it with his own kick as well.

Alfia and Gojo just started their barrage of attacks with one another.

Sophia: "What the! Alfia, stop it!"

Europa: "Impossible..."

Meteria: " Alfia! *cough* "

Bell: "Mama!"

Meteria coughs up blood, then the healers immediately took action and started their healing magic, Airmid also started her healing magic that she usually use on Meteria.

Alfia noticed Meteria's coughing and glanced to her direction, but Satoru took this as an opportunity and strikes Alfia's side. Alfia was knock away to her surprise. After all...

She's a Level 8 executive of the strongest familia in the world.

Alfia: 'He's keeping up with me? Me of all people? How! I'm a Level 8, and even with my disease holding me back, there is no way a no-named person is able to even touch me, let alone fight.'

It was complete shit. Every single one present at the scene, even if it was just a blur for the normal people. It was a shocking news that a random person who people has never heard of, was able to fight on par with Alfia, and even manage to beat her in hand to hand combat.

Alfia: "Who the hell are you!"

Satoru: " Me? I'm Satoru Gojo, the Strongest Sorcerer."

Alfia opens up her palm again. Sensing the magic flowing, Satoru aims his finger to Alfia.

Alfia: " (Satanas Verion: Lugio)!"

Satoru: " (Reversal Technique: Red) "

Alfia's Gospel and Satoru's Reversal Red. It was an attack that exploded and even manages to push away the audience a bit from their chairs. The huge gust of with blasted everything away as everyone grabs to a nearby solid object to not be taken by the shock wave.

After the wind has calmed down, it was a complete horror as the audience rushed and panickily left the Arena, all of them were pushing each other aside to make sure they were the first to escape. 

Sophia: "Europa, stop Alfia! I will tend to Meteria!" Sophia worriedly says as she jumps towards the VIP room.

Europa: "Alfia! Stop it right now!"

But Alfia and Satoru didn't stop as they continued their attacks, Europa immediately went in and kicked Satoru away with her speed, then grabs Alfia and pins her down.

Europa: "What went over you, Alfia?! This is unlike you to just get in and attack a random person!" She asks as she tries her best to contain Alfia

Alfia: "Europa... That person is no random... He's stronger than me..." Alfia replied while gritting her teeth.

Europa: "!!!" Surprised by Alfia's words.

She then turns her head to Satoru, who was still standing on where he was at, no sign of being hit by anything.

Europa: "How?! I know I hit him, I felt my feet touching him and blasting him away!"

Alfia: "There's some weird barrier around him. I felt it too as I attack him with my Satanas Verion... I hate doing such hassle because it is just tiring... But this is something else."

Europa: "How!"

Europa asks for explanation as she let's Alfia go. Alfia stood up and shakes off the dust on her dress, turning her head towards Satoru too.

Satoru: "Oh that? That was my Infinity, interested?"

Alfia: "Infinity?"

Satoru: "Infinity, this is the convergence of an infinite series and comes straight from the paradox of Achilles and the Tortoise. Akin to the way Achilles will never catch the tortoise due to the potential, infinite amounts of finite space separating them or how the real number one will never touch the real number two due to the infinite amount of fractions that separate them, no matter what you both do, you're never gonna be able to touch me."

Satoru's explanation left both Alfia and Europa speechless. After all, there's no one in this world who has able to get a hold of space magic. And the existence of Satoru alone, is a complete defiance to the rules of the whole world.

Alfia: "Infinite space... An absolute barrier..."

Satoru: "Bingo! Now, I've been swiftly switching it on and off earlier when I was fighting you. I'm not the type to overly shower my enemies with bombs when they only have leather to protect themselves."

Satoru: 'But with that said. This woman also has some kind of barrier in her. That magic attack also was held back and not used in full potential. It's probably stronger than what she's shown me. A barrier enchant magic that covered her body in magic negating "armor". Since she was completely covered by it, the magic gave her full magic protection, since any attack would be nullified regardless of the direction it came from.'

Satoru giggles.

Satoru: "I never got your name, miss?"

Alfia: "You wont need it!"

Just before Alfia attacks again, Zald and Maxim arrives and built a bridge between them, blocking each other out.

Europa: "Alfia, Meter--"

Just before Europa finishes her sentence, Alfia disappeared from her sight and saw a silhouette of her going to Meteria.

Maxim: "Now, why don't you two explain what the hell is going on here?!"

Zald: "Europa-san. The crowd outside were in panic and the adventurers and ganesha familia are having a huge problem about it. What happened here?"

Satoru: "Ah. As much as I would like to talk about it. I've got places to be, I forgot about my "babysitter" who's probably all worried about me."

Then Satoru clasped his hands and smiles at the three.

Satoru: "I'll be off then, Bye!"

Satori then disappeared in front of them, Zald, Maxim, and Europa were surprised as the person in front of them disappeared as if he teleported away... Which he did.

Europa: "... What the hell is happening.. This is probably a dream."

==

The outside of the arena is a mess. Everyone is panicking and pushing everyone aside as well. There are probably about roughly 1000 audience who felt scared after that encounter of the strongest mage of the Hera Familia, and the unknown strong white haired person.

Astraea Familia, Ganesha Familia, Guild Members and other adventurers who are kind enough to help are doing their best to calm everyone down and have the whole fiasco handled without anyone getting hurt.

Alise: "Kaguya, Lion, Lyra! you three take the left side, Me, Neze and Asta will take the right side. Cooperate with the Ganesha Familia so that we can solve this issue sooner."

Everyone: "Right!" They all replied before proceeding.

Kaguya on the other hand has been annoyed since earlier because of her brother's sudden disappearance. She was used to his antics and this as well, so she's not quite worried about it. But she's annoyed that her time spending out with her beloved brother has been cut short by some random force.

Kaguya: "Let's finish this quickly and make sure there's no mistakes."

Lyra: "Damn it, why are these people panicking so much as if some monsters escape."

Ryu: "Less talking, more fixing!"

After a while... A whole 30 minutes, everything has been calmed down and people has started to disperse.

The guild has interviewed some of the people who were involved with the mess and all of them answered that it was because of the danger that the Hera Familia did. Because of Alfia and Satoru's abilities collides, the sheer amount of magic pressure alone is a great threat to the citizens who does not have falna nor strong enough will.

At a nearby Cafe

Astraea: "Oh dear... The Zeus and Hera Familia been quite concerning lately. I guess the people of Orario didn't take the news about the Three Great Quest." She concerningly said as she sips her tea.

Ganesha: "That was 8 Years ago! While I understand the Zeus and Hera familia for preparing for much more... it's truly been quite some time. I don't understand it too. Do they fully intend to not continue their quest to finish off the OEBD?" Replies while boasting his muscles... for the millionth time.

Freya: " I don't care much on what those disgusting gods have in mind. Zeus and Hera has been a true thorn in my side for too long. This is great for me since I can use this incident against them." Freya says, declaring her dismay to the two gods.

Astraea: "Freya... I don't really support that plan of yours. No matter what, in the world, they're still the strongest familia and defeated 2 of the 3 great quest. They're already heroes in the eyes of the world." Astraea told her.

Freya: "Strongest... Astraea, what do you think is the meaning of the word "Strongest""

Astraea: "Well.. I don't think my answer will satisfy you, so I won't make much of it."

Ganesha: "The strongest means having the power to overthrow and overcome any obstacle this world can offer! Truly what Zeus and Hera represents!"

Freya: "Yes... Such simple words and definition, but it varies to the people who deserves the title. I don't think both Zeus and Hera deserves it."

Astraea: 'What is she thinking... What's your plan this time.'

The three gods continues to discuss the things they needed to talk about because of today's events. But on the outside.

In a dark alley

???: "Is it true? Are you sure about this?"

???: "Yes, there are eye witness as well, there is no other explanation."

???: "Then there's no mistaking about it. He is here, and what we must do?"

???: "What needed to be done..."

In some part of the city

Gojo: "That woman... She's dying."

Author's note: Sorry if the Alfia vs Gojo was quite short. I'm doing this chapt in a limited time and I don't think I'll be able to update quite frequently. I'll try and make a much better fight scene in the future.

I like reading comments :)
