Chapter 58: 58 - Reunion [2]

Damian, Rose, Jhamillah, Jenna...

I was surprised to see these four here.

"It’s you guys."

I mumbled, my eyes widening.

The three girls looked at me all shocked, while Damian was smiling like an idiot.

"You know them?"

Viktor asked, looking at me.

I turned to him and opened my mouth.

"I was in the same cell as them before going here."

Thinking back, over a month had passed already since we came to the coliseum. Brock and the others did say that after training for a while, the new slaves would be transferred to the fighter cells.

"So you guys just finished the fighter training, huh."

I said as I turned back to the four.

"Yeah, we just got here a bit earlier!"

Then Damian excitedly replied.

"Though, these fuckers suddenly approached us, telling us to obey them because we’re at the bottom of the hierarchy, apparently."

He added, looking at Uban, the one he was fighting.

I frowned as my eyes shifted to Uban... I cringed.

"I’ll remember this. We’re going to go after you later."

He said, glaring at me while walking toward the guy in front of me who passed out. He was trying to retrieve him.

"...?"

I tilted my head in confusion.

"Later?"

I asked.

"Yeah, later!"

Uban exclaimed as he looked up at me, picking up an unconscious body. He was now in front of me.

And with that—

"Are you an idiot?"

BAM!

I punched him straight in the face.

"GAH?!!"

"Do you think I’ll just let you go after knowing that?"

BAM!

Then I launched another one.

"And also, you must be sick in the head. You started this fight, you can’t just walk away from it."

BAM!

And again.

BAM!

And again.

"GAAAAHHH!!!"

Blood splashed out from Uban’s nose. It was disgusting and he’s getting really loud. So to finish it all off—

B A M—!

I threw a last punch as hard as I could straight to his nose. I heard something cracking, and with that...

Thud!

He fell in front of me, unconscious too.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone went silent, they looked at me all shocked. Even Viktor.

"Haha..."

He and Damian laughed though not long after.

Anyway, I shrugged my shoulders... Then, pointing at the last conscious guy in front of Rose who was holding his balls.

"Get him too."

I said that. He looked at me in terror.

And without hesitation—

"YAAAAAHHH!!!"

BAM!

Damian rushed at him and started beating him to a pulp.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

The guy tried to fight back, but the three girls jumped in and held him in place. I smiled seeing that.

’Looks like I wouldn’t need to worry about them after all.’

I thought, pertaining to the old fighters who were in here. In fact, in terms of group... We’re now bigger than them.

I already assumed the four would join me, it’s pretty obvious.

Also, no guards are currently near—they’re probably getting our dinner. So we can beat these guys as loud as we could.

*****

Moving on, after a while... We now have four unconscious people on the floor.

"What are we going to do with them?"

Rose asked me, a small smile on her face.

"Erm, just rip their shirts and use them to restrain their arms and legs. Then throw them all inside a room."

I said casually while waving my hand off.

"Ah! Just like what you did to me when we first met! Got it!"

Then Damian exclaimed that before moving.

RIIIIP—!

You could hear him tearing off the clothes of the four. Meanwhile...

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Viktor, Rose, Jhamillah, and Jenna were looking at me weirdly after hearing what he just said.

’Damn it... This guy is still stupid, huh.’

I thought to myself, ignoring their gazes.

...

...

...

Not long after, Damian dragged the four unmoving bodies into a room—and he just left them all there.

"You’re really something, huh."

Viktor said, patting me on the back with a smile.

"Heh, I know."

I can’t believe I was able to settle everything this easily. I was supposed to take care of the four once they came at me. But this is better, really.

"Erm..."

Anyway, with them gone now... The six of us can talk properly.

"..."

Rose was looking at me like she wants to start a conversation.

"Ah..."

So the first thing that I did—

"Guys, this is Viktor. He’s a friend of mine."

"Then Viktor... From left to right—Damian, Rose, Jenna, and Jhamillah."

...Was introduce them to each other.

Viktor shook their hands with a smile on his face, and after that—

"Okay then, let me help you settle down here..."

I started explaining this place to them without beating around the bush. I know they’re confused just like I was when I first got here.

’I’ll be their Brock.’

I thought, smiling a little.

*****

The four listened intently to my words. Viktor added and explained some things too that I missed.

The three girls nodded their heads and looked at us, grateful.

Though Damian... I don’t think he really understood that much.

’Ugh, he’s such an idiot.’

His face is even stupid. It was annoyingly punchable.

"Anyway, that’s all for now... You can just ask me whenever you have some questions, I’ll answer them if I can."

I declared.

"You can come to me too, guys."

Viktor smiled and followed. Rose, Jhamillah, and Jenna bowed their heads in gratitude.

Damian is just fuck all, staring stupidly.

"So we can pick any room from the four you pointed out earlier?"

Then he asked that. I’m surprised he remembered something from what I said.

"Yeah, that’s right."

I answered him.

And without hesitation—

"Then that’s mine!"

He turned around and pointed at a room. And seeing where he was pointing at—my eyes widened!

It was Brock’s room... The one beside mine!

"Wai—"

"I’m going!"

I was about to stop him, but he just ran off to that room without hesitation.

"..."

The three girls just smiled awkwardly at me before going on their way, picking their rooms too.

"Your new neighbor is something, huh."

Viktor said, laughing a little while looking at Damian.

Damian doesn’t even room we’re neighbors now.

"Whatever, he’s as stupid as that guy. I even thought they were father and son the first time I met him."

I mumbled, talking about Damian and Brock.

"See you later at dinner."

Then after saying that to Viktor, I went to my room.

"See you later!"

I heard him behind me. I just waved my hand in the air before entering.

Creak—

And once I got inside—

"I need to get used to this thing now."

I picked up the greatsword I got from Degula and started swinging it to get used to its weight.

BAM!

It fell on the ground a few times because it was still heavy for me, but I didn’t care and just continued.

That’s right. I’m training again.

’I have a fight in two weeks, I need to get ready.’

Winning my next fight isn’t my goal, it’s just in the process.

My goal is—to reach Silver Rank as fast as possible.

’I’m giving myself two months for that.’
