119 Balls of Steel (1/2)
”She's growing up so fast… *Sniffle*” He muttered to himself.
”I will be explaining the rules once again so listen up! There will…”
After a few minutes of explaining the rules, the two combatants were ready to start the match.
The short, blonde-haired, fat, Leon was wearing spiky heavy armour and seemingly no weapon at all was staring daggers at Moby who at this point, was still ignoring him as he felt extremely happy listening to Jayden's speech.
Moby wore a standard set of light armour to prioritize mobility over defence like his build entailed. However, his choice of weapon was a little odd to say the least. Instead of using his usual preferred weapon of choice the katana, he used a metal shield instead.
”Now! If the combatants are all ready, I will count down to start the match!”
”5”
”4”
”3”
”2”
”1”
”Match Begin!”
”Ha! It finally started! Do you really think that shield can save you from me! Don't hold your breath! When I am done with you, Jayden would notice how much of a cooler guy I am than a puny orphan like you and dump you for me! Her pussy must be so sweet! I bet you never even got a taste of it!” Leon mocked with clear arrogance.
”You sure have balls of steel, don't you?” Moby retorted, his eyes staring daggers into Leon's soul.
”Yes, I do,” Leon replied with a smirk, inflating his body and armour into the shape of a ball of spiky steel that towered almost 10 meters in height.
'Heh, I expected this… but it looks even stupider than what I read about…' Moby thought with a smirk.
Of course, Moby did not go into this match completely blind, he did his research.
Over the 5 days when Natalia was being non-stop tortured, he was not sitting on his ass doing nothing. Instead, he was training and doing research on abilities he found on the marketplace. One of those abilities was called ”Ball of Steel”, an ability that transforms the user into a gigantic ball of Steel that is still as flexible and bouncy as rubber. It still allowed the user complete movement while in the form but it lacked the ability of proper vision while in the form, opting the user to sense energy signals instead which was very impractical in many situations.
However, in such a small and compact arena, Leon would be able to quickie bounce of the walls at random and in quick succession, aiming to hit Moby every time with him definitely not being able to dodge or predict the direction of the balls bounce as he would have complete movement control.
However, for every match he had partaken in, it almost always needed much less than 5 minutes as most matches ended in 30 seconds to 1 minute.
That was he was so confident and why he chose such an arena for the fight to take place.
Of course, Moby did not find this information all on the internet as most people like to keep the powers of their abilities a secret from the public. However, there existed a secret, exclusive site that listed many abilities and their weaknesses that Moby found all thanks to Ryan, Jayden's butler.
Before Moby even proposed the fight, he used his ”inspect” skill on Leon to see who he was going up against and if he wanted to challenge him.
That was why he was so confident.

The weird thing that Moby noticed about his stats was that he had 150 HP instead of the standard 100 that he had seen on every other human prior which made him think that there had to be some exceptions for humans' HP stats depending on either their power level, abilities or another factor that he had yet to consider.
In comparison, Moby's new base stats were as follows.
