Martial Arts System-Chapter 20: Match Up

''I got a text that we need to start heading back to the stadium'' Lucas informed while looking at his phone.

We were currently standing at one of the food stands ordering some food.

''Okay,'' I said and paid for our food and started heading back to the stadium while holding the bag which had our food.

While we were walking through a busy street, some braver girls came towards us after seeing us walking towards a huge stadium.

'E-excuse me.'' I heard a girl in her 17-18s asking me timidly, I looked at her with a smile and asked. ''Yes, can I help you?

''C-can I get your phone number!'' The girl said the first part while stuttering until almost yelling the last part.

''…Sure,'' I asked confusingly while giving her my phone number and she ran towards her friends while giggling.

''Tsk, popular bastard.'' Lucas cursed beside me and I looked with a smug smile and said.''Is our dear Lucas jealous~''

''Fuck you.'' He cursed and was about to leave until one of the girls walked towards him which made his eyes widen.

''Can I get your phone number please~'' She said with seductiveness with a wink.

''S-sur…'' Lucas was about to agree, but before that, I decided to crush his dreams.

''Excuse me, but don't ask for phone number of my boyfriend, thank you!'' I told and started hugging Lucas' arm while Lucas looked at me in shock and betrayal.

''O-oh, sorry…'' She said and ran towards her friends while her friends looked in shock.

''Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You fucker!'' Lucas roared at my ear.

''That is what you fucking deserve!'' I laughed at his face.

''Laugh while you can, I will make sure that you will stay single for your ENTIRE LIFE'' Lucas started threatening me.

''I already have a girlfriend sorry,'' I told him with a sorry smile.

''Who?! How I didn't know about that!'' Lucas asked from me with widened eyes.

''Because I am dating your sister!'' I told him and it caused Lucas' eyes to turn bloody.

''WHAT!!!!'' He roared with a murderous expression

''Just joking, teehee,'' I said with a teasing expression and ran away quickly towards the stadium

''BASTARD!'' Lucas roared and started chasing me with killing intent.

…

(In the Stadium)

''HELP!'' I roared to my club advisor and it made his head turn towards me while looking at confusion.

''Ichiro, what is it?'' He asked with confusion

''Lucas is trying to kill me!'' I roared and hid behind the club advisor.

''What?! Why?!'' He asked with widened eyes.

''Ichiro… get back here.'' Lucas arrived at the stands while glaring at me with a murderous expression.

''It was a small joke, chill,'' I said, which was a mistake on my part because it made Lucas look at me even more in rage.

''Excuse me, but what is happening?'' Club advisor asked.

''Nothing… just playing around… right Ichiro?'' Lucas asked while giving murderous smile towards Ichiro.

''Y-yes…'' I muttered quietly while trembling in fear.

Then Lucas sat next to me which made me stiff until Lucas got closer to my ear to whisper.''Sorry about this.'' I got confused about why he said that, but then I knew the reason.

*Bam*

''OOF!'' I exclaimed after feeling Lucas hitting my nuts with great strength.

I grabbed Lucas' collar and said. ''You bastard, you almost made me a eunuch.'' But Lucas only looked at me with an innocent expression and said.''I have no idea what you are talking about?''

'''Hehe.'' I laughed quietly and grabbed his collar tighter.''You better sleep with your one eye open.'' I told with a small smile.

'No one gets away with punching my nuts, fuck that hurt.' I thought to myself and took my hands away from his collar.

''Sheesh, so violent,'' Lucas said playfully which made me have thick black marks on my forehead.

''…This team is doomed.'' Club advisor murmured while looking at the sky

''So what is happening next?'' I asked from club advisor next to me and Lucas also looked towards the club advisor for an explanation for inviting us here.

''The last match of Round of 128 already ended 10 minutes ago, now it's time for the lottery to decide next matchups because those won't be based on the seedings.'' He told us and I gave him a nod.

Lottery started shortly and I heard some of the students behind me muttering hoping they won't face Armya.

I only had one sentence towards him and that was to grow some balls!

I would love to face Armya, even if we wouldn't win.

''Match Nr. 26! Middle School of Armya Vs. Middle School of Yrim!'' Was announced

''Shame,'' I muttered and looked towards Armya who didn't change their facial expression, but looking not far from us, I saw one certain team having expressions like they killed their parents or something.

''Lucky…'' I murmured while looking at Yrim, I wanted to face Armya, what a shame!

We waited until the 31st match up, until finally our name was called.

''Match Nr.31! Middle School of Hiena Vs. Middle School of Irio!''

Our opponents were 9th seed school, quite strong.

I looked where our opponents were and finally saw them, with their red outfit with some small white spots on the outfit, it wasn't too hard to notice them.

They looked at me with very arrogant expressions.

''Heh,'' I smirked and I started waving towards them and after few waves, I changed my wave to middle finger instead.

Oh boy, they didn't like that.

I saw one of them standing up from his spot and looking at me with a murderous expression, but was being held down by his teammate, who was probably their captain, but he looked at me with the same expression.

''You are so popular~'' Lucas snickered beside me, I looked at him and I said with a smile.''It seems so, at least your sister seems to be affected by my charm.''

*Crack!*

I looked at his chair and Lucas grabbed it a little bit too tight and made it crack.

''Be careful~ It seems that your chair can't survive your weight…'' I told him with a grin.

''…'' Lucas turned his head in silence with his eyes bloodshot.

'He is fun to tease…' I thought to myself and then thought afterward.'But need to be careful about teasing about her sister or he might castrate me or something.' After that, I started shivering.

''…You really are unafraid of death…'' Club advisor said while shivering next to me.

''…'' Lucas was still looking at me in silence while his eyes started darkening more and more.

'Please say something! This suspense is killing me!' I thought to myself in anxiousness.

''…Ichiro…'' I heard Lucas say and I instantly stiffened and straightened my back like in the army.

''…'' Lucas suddenly grabbed my collar and made me look into his eyes.

''I am sowwy!'' I apologized while stuttering the last part.

*PFFT*

Suddenly Lucas roared in laughter.''Man, you are fucking pussy, just look at your face, I took a good picture of it and no problem; I will show it to everyone in school and I will also show it to my sister.'' Lucas said happily

''…Lucas, we are best friends right?'' I asked him hopefully and Lucas turned to me with an innocent gaze and said. ''Yes.''

''C-can you remove that picture,'' I asked hopefully, but then saw Lucas' innocent gaze which was even more terrifying than Irkum.

''Why would I do that, this picture shows your charm perfectly.'' He asked me innocently.

''I-i forgot to smile!'' I said with a happy smile, but Lucas didn't change his face at all.

''It's alright, your smile is ugly.'' He told me and this time my eyes started turning bloodshot.

''Andddd, send!'' Lucas said happily.

I looked at him in terror and yelled.''Who did you send it to?!''

''To everyone,'' Lucas said happily and looked to the arena with glee.

''…'' My eyes darkened by a significant amount.

…

(In Irio)

*Ding*

''Hmm, brother sent me a picture,'' Leia said innocently while taking her phone with bunny cover.

''He sent to me as well,'' Iris said and took the phone while Luke also heard the same notification sound from his phone.

They saw the picture of Ichiro pleading towards Lucas with slightly teary eyes.

''RAHAHAHA, he looks like a coward!'' Luke roared in laughter.

''…'' Iris looked at the picture in confusion.

''…S-so handsome…'' Leia murmured while saving the picture as her wallpaper.

*Crack!*

Luke crushed his fist where his phone was located and made slight cracks in the screen.

'Handsome? How the hell does he look handsome in this picture? Is she already beyond saving?!' Luke thought to himself while looking at Leia looking at the picture without blinking and he started to cry imaginary tears.

''…It seems Lucas is having fun with him.'' Iris said while smiling gently towards Ichiro's picture.

''I need to text back!'' Leia suddenly exclaimed and started typing…

…

(In the Stadium)

*Ding*

''Hmm, Leia sent me a text,'' Lucas said while smiling gently and then he opened the chat history and his hand started shaking while slight cracks made their way towards the screen.

4.53PM Leia - He is so handsooomeeeeeee! Take some more pictures of him, please!!!

''Ichiro…'' I heard Lucas growl next to me.

I said to him innocently. ''Yes?''

''It seems I can't let you stay alive after all.'' He looked at me with bloodshot eyes.

I tilted my head and said.

''…What?''
