28 Unexpected Heavy Hit! (1/2)

Under the blinding spotlights, Rin really wanted to go blind. He's definitely not ready for it yet. In front of him was the fighter earlier and adding to Rin's nervousness, he sure is massive than he looked from the stairs above.

”And also, don't use your 'trump card' yet!”, Elihim shouted from the audience.

Rin looked at his master with a confused look.

Rin's opponent clicked his tongue and muttered, ”Not using your trump card? Your underestimating me even if I'm exhausted.”, the fighters heavy voice was really intimidating if included with his buff appearance and rough square-ish face and his grizzly long hair.

'No, no, no one's actually underestimating you!', Rin wanted to speak but only kept it in his head.

”Hmph! Name's Dragger! Let's have a good match.”, Dragger introduced himself in a ”polite” way.

Rin slowly breathed in and out. Then he too introduced himself, ”Rin! Rin Gotha! Nice to meet you and let's have a good match!”

Dragger positioned himself in a fighting stance, he pretty much looked like a boxer in his form.

Seeing his opponent getting ready, Rin too assumed himself in his own ”fighting stance”. When he was about to, he just realized something.

'Wait, I haven't learn a sine thing about fighting yet! Back when I defeated those thugs, I relied on my superhuman strength brought by the Natural Energy but now, Master doesn't even want me to 'use' it!', Rin panicked inside his head.

He turned his gaze to his Master trying to get help.

Elihim noticed Rin and winked at him with a smile.

'MASTER!!', Rin was shocked by his own master.

He reluctantly stopped thinking to rely on his master and just accepted it.

Rin gulped and thought optimistically, 'Wait, I have experienced many things now. What am I panicking?'

He observed his opponent and concluded, 'He is still a human and can not hurt me as bad as those Gods did to me. I'll just have to endure and go through it. Plan and then take every chances to win!'

The bell rangvibrating through the air and into Rin's focus mind.

The crowd patiently waited if there is a surprise waiting for them. If this youngster truly hold strength to support the confidence he had to stand in front of Dragger as an enemy.

Nobody of the two started to make actions yet. They both observed each other cautiously.

Dragger was a true veteran and he had his own standard. He first had to test the water but he can not analyze his opponent's movement because he have not move at all!
