Welcome to Arcana 23 Radley vs Aran

Rita was being tugged by the arm. She was given a crutch and a clean bill of health, "Ow, Aran, you are hurting me."

He chuckled, "I told you, as soon as you are released we were going to have a little talk. Our sponsor wasn't all too happy with your performance. He told me to take care of you."

"Perhaps you misunderstood. I am still recovering after all."

"There was no misunderstanding, and besides now is the perfect time to, 'Take care of you'. Now, shut your fucking mouth and keep walking."

She flinched as she was being pulled along.

After a while, they came close to the edge of the floating rock. Rita was starting to panic, "Wait, WAIT! I don't even have any weapons!"

"Oh, you seem to misunderstand your position. You are not supposed to survive. You are dead weight."

"Wait, tell our sponsor that I can improve. It was just a guy that I underestimated a bit! Please, don't do this."

He smelled her hair, "You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this."

He went closer to her ears, and whispered, "I finally get the chance to pop your cherry and because you are being tossed to the wild nobody would be the wiser."

He ripped off her protective clothing and exposing her. She started sobbing, "Please don't do this…please."

He forced her to the ground then turned her around. He struggles with his own pants for a bit, "Time to become a woman, little Rita…" Before he could put it in he was punched hard sending him flying, "WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEBODY YOUR OWN SIZE, YOU SICK FUCK!"

She looked on with misty eyes due to the tears. It was Radley, "No Loner, get away, call for some help. Don't get embroiled in this, please. I don't want the conscious of your death on my hands."

"I'll be fine."

He took off his tunic and tossed it to Rita, "If I knew what was going to happen I would have sped up. Put this on."

Aran stood up from the tree he crashed in. His nose was badly broken, "That hurt, you little ass. Gotta admit you know how to throw a punch for a level one. Saw you in the competition after all, but you are not me."

Aran moved faster than Radley could even perceive, even with his instant reaction ability he was only able to block the incoming attack. An unexpected popup came out of nowhere. Secondary Quest: Defend the girl until time runs out. Time? That's new. His arm snapped like a twig under the pressure of Aran's punch. He grimaced pretty badly as he was sent backward. 55 seconds left.

Aran laughed, "Impressive."

He gave Radley barely any time to respond as a series of punches landed on him. He saw his health dipping with each shot. He couldn't keep up! He had this amazing ability but if his body couldn't respond to the speeds it was useless. He needed more speed and he needed it now. His body suddenly got used to the speed of his fists. A popup came up: New ability learned: Agility boost. Congratulations this will temporarily increase your Agility by twenty points. Holy crap! These abilities really do come out when you need them. Suddenly the speed between the two was on par. The combination of the agility boost combined with his instant reaction ability put him on par with a level 5! The downside was he was losing stamina way faster than he wanted. He wasn't going to be able to keep up with the required time. 45 seconds left.

He twisted on the spot and dodged into a blind spot and punch as hard as he could with his power slam ability. This was the second time he used it tonight, it basically depleted his stamina, but worse still was his health. That immediate flurry of attacks reduced his health down to 25%, but if needs be he will tap into his health to prolong the time. His real problem was his broken arm. It was kind of a limp painful mess and made his movements awkward.

Rita was staring in awe. Never had she thought it even possible for a level one to fight a level five on equal footing! Just who was this Radley? He is a bloody super genius or something.

He staggered a bit when he stood up, "Kid, you are really starting to piss me off!"

He spat out some blood and popped his own neck. Radley decided he needed a different approach. He needed to stall him, "Wait, why are you even doing this!? What has she ever done to you?!" Time 30 seconds.

"Her sponsor…our sponsor told me to take care of her."

"Are you sure that your sponsor didn't mean it in another way?"

"What another way would she mean it?"

"You know, like consoling her. Taking care of her, that sort of thing."

"My sponsor isn't that soft."

Rita interjected, "She tends to be softer on those who need it and are harder on those who don't. You know this better than anyone. You were here first, after all!"

Radley pondered what he just heard. It was a she. A Female supporter. Well, at least he had that to works with.

"I'm done with your twenty-one questions." He jumped towards Radley. Radley cussed he still has ten seconds left. He activated his boost and jumped back as far as possible and ran around a tree. The man smiled and shattered the tree. Radley got knocked forward by the force of the impact. In his role, he grabbed a rock and tossed it towards Aran who flicked it aside. Radley tried to run but was grabbed behind his neck, "Now, I murder you."

Aran quickly twisted Radley around so that he could see the final attack. Aran's fist started to glow a reddish hue. The punch stopped less than an inch from his face. A woman had caught the fist, "What's going on here?" It was Adira, the apparently young Magistrate.

She grabbed them both by the throat and shoved them into the ground. Radley's health dipped to 1% with that crash. He grabbed her hand by instinct, "You know the rules. No fighting in the towns or villages. Whatever floats your boat."

Aran was as calm as a cucumber, "He threw the first punch."

Radley spoke with a hoarse breath, "He tried raping that girl."
