Chapter 152 - 152 – In The Middle Of Two Hills (2)
In the afternoon, Leva came to the arena with Eric following behind. The red-haired girl, wearing a hooded jacket over a bra-like top and very short pants, continued to make light punching movements. Meanwhile, Eric, who was carrying a wooden bucket filled with supporting items, kept looking around.
However, the audience's attention has not been drawn to the woman. They sat on two hills opposite each other. It's outside the Redtooth tribe area. Both the Redtooth and Arcornhull residents occupied different hills, with the Redtooth people far more numerous.
Ah, those hills serve as stands. The people cheered the match in the arena between the two hills. The arena reminded me of a boxing ring, complete with four corners and ropes arranged on each side. However, the bottom was just the ground where the grass had been removed.
Apart from those two hills, several people were sitting on a wooden tribune, similar to the one near the striptease arena yesterday. Maybe it was made for the higher-ups of Acornhull and Redtooth.
"You were so worried about meeting those girls you told me about?" Leva asked.
Seeing Eric's behavior that I had never seen before, I also became curious about what was really going on.
"They're crazy, Leva." Eric Gulped. "At first, they just sat around me. I politely declined at first because I was running errands. However, after a while, they went crazy. Imagine, I've been pulled up somewhere and almost stripped."
Leva narrowed her eyes. "Well, I can understand why they are like that. Your face is quite attractive, Eric. Although not my type. And your refusal might make the girls curious, plus your cool demeanor. Because of all that, they want to eat you."
"Please, don't be joking, Leva." Eric started to shiver, even though he was wearing a jacket.
"I'm not joking." Leva shrugged. "I am also a woman."
"But, there is no woman like them! They are fucking crazy!"
My two colonists are getting closer to the arena. Some of the Redtooth residents looked shocked to see Leva. It seems they still remember what happened to my female colonist.
"That's Eric!"
"Where!? Hey, why is he with that girl!?"
"No!!! He's my Eric!!!"
Eric shivered again and chose to lower his head. Leva looked up at the hill the Acornhulls were sitting on. She found several young women who were hysterically looking at Eric.
"Well, they're quite attractive, really." Leva grinned, ignoring the cynical looks from the women. "Wouldn't you say you were lucky instead? You can have a harem very easily."
I agree. Their faces are above average, although they can't beat Kat's, Leva's, or Gwen's attractiveness yet.
"I have a bad feeling about those girls." Eric massaged the nape of his neck.
The two of them stopped at a long wooden bench located a few meters from the battle arena. After tying her hair, Leva reached her hands to be bandaged by Eric, while watching the ongoing fight between two shirtless men.
The first man was of great stature, had pale skin with short blond hair. Probably about 210 cm tall, with a muscular build. He continued to give combination of punches to the second man. His opponent was also muscular, but his body was smaller and slimmer.
The second man continued to be pushed back by the combination of fists until he finally leaned against the corner with his face starting to bleed.
If this was an MMA match in the real world, then the match would be stopped. The blows were brutal, and the second man had no chance to dodge or retaliate. Every second, that combination of fists kept hitting his body and head.
And finally, the second man's hands drooped. The black-clothed referee has pulled the first man to back off. However, the first man pushed the referee instead and continued to beat his opponent. The referee tried again, and this time the push sent him tumbling down.
The second man was utterly helpless. So, the referee signaled to the black-clothed officials around the arena. They rushed into the arena and grabbed the first man. It took extra effort until the man was finally pulled back.
The referee gestured to the other officials near the wooden tribune. Then, a gong sounded three times.
The residents of Acornhull cheered, while the people of Redtooth could not help but fall silent. The referee raised one of the first man's hands, who was now grinning widely.
"And the winner is Ivan from the Acornhull tribe!!!" The female announcer shouted using a funnel.
Meanwhile, the second man was already lying in the corner of the arena. His face was almost disfigured with bruises and blood. I can also see some broken teeth around the poor guy.
"Ugh, nasty." Leva hissed as the second man was being taken care of by several people. "That dude from the Acornhull tribe will be a formidable opponent for me later."
Why do you sound insecure, Leva?
Officials cleaned the blood and teeth in the arena, then the announcer shouted again. "The third match, between Dex from the Acornhull tribe, against Leva from the nameless tribe from the west! Fighters, please enter the arena!"
I could see the residents of Acornhull whispering. Perhaps they hadn't been told by their leader that a fighter from another place would join. There was no way Tosa had Leva participate without speaking to the people from Acornhull first.
When Leva entered the arena, there was no cheering because she didn't come from either side. There are only a few whistles and comments about her clothes which are quite revealing, showing her fantastic body. Well, Manu's clothes look more like a bikini than a fighting suit, after all.
However, the voices were still inferior to the loud hateful screams of the women who had chased after Eric earlier in the day.
I looked at Leva, who didn't seem to care at all about it. Her eyes look so focused.
"Good luck, Leva. Go, get him!" Eric patted the woman's back after giving her a drink from a clay bottle.
As Leva did her shadowboxing again, dozens of red flower petals were tossed around the arena.. Then, a slender man jumped in.
