‘What the hell is going on here’

Arata had a baffled expression on his face. He had an intense feeling of curiosity more than the pain he was currently feeling. Right now he was very much eager to know what was really going on. How was such a thing happening right now? Curiosity was written all over his face. Although he asked his mind for answers to the current situation but...

‘I knew he wanted to go for an uppercut but I couldn’t counter him.’

‘What’s this loser doing?’

...But his mind could not provide him with the answers he seeks.

Arata looked up at Sora with Grimace. How did the situation get to this in just a second? How was the tides of the battle turned over so quickly? This idiot was just lying on the ground before him a while ago? So how did it get to the point where he was the one now lying on the ground in a humiliating manner?

‘How is this idiot humiliating me?’

Right now it was looking like he was the one currently at the mercy’s of Sora’s hands.

He was the one currently lying before Sora’s feet as his mind kept racing with thoughts. How the hell is this happening?

“Hmm...I see. He used it.” Gabriel chuckled.

“What’s he doing?...I mean how’s he beating Arata like a child?” Agatha curiously asked with a stunned expression while watching the fight.

“Honestly I don’t completely understanding it either. But what I do know is that, this was a trump card he was keeping to use against Daniel.”

Gabriel stared at the ludicrous scene of a member of The Strongest Five lying on the ground before Sora. He continued speaking with his eyes still fixed at such a sight..

“Where does he goes the second he vanishes?” Gabriel asked.

“Huh..? He goes to where he chooses to go. That’s technically his ability...teleportation.” Agatha answered in a bewildered manner.

“No I’m saying where does he goes the second he vanishes before he reappears?”

“I don’t understand...”

“That’s what I thought when he first asked me the same question.”

(“I don’t understand your question” Gabriel exclaimed in a puzzled manner.

He was currently seating on the field in Machia’s compound with Sora. The flowers bloomed proudly around the fields.

They had just finished practice  for the day and was resting while talking.

Sora looked at Gabriel as he enlightened him.

“What I meant is that during the time I vanish from a place in order to teleport. There’s a one second interval it takes for me to reappear back to where I want which completes my teleportation.”

“...”

“But during that one second interval before I reappear at my destination there are times where I’m not on this plane.”

“Plane?”

“Yeah that’s what I call it. Dimensions. I’m usually not on this dimension in that one second interval”

“What are you saying? Are you saying there are other dimensions now?”

“Yeah I think so. No I know so. During that one second interval before I reappear back for people to see me I usually find myself in this place. It’s more like a paradise. A place filled with waterfalls and beautiful fields.”

“...”

“And funny enough, the flow of time is really different over there. In our real time here when i vanished it only looks like I disappeared over here for a second but when I appear over there. I stay there for about eight seconds before reappearing back on our plane again.”

“...”

“And the thing is anytime I appear over that other plane of paradise I always see this back figure of a man sitting in the fields. I can’t tell who he really is since I haven’t seen his face.”

“A man? Really? Does this happens every single time you teleport?”

“No not really. It’s happened only a few times now and I don’t know why it happens or what causes it”

“...”

“ But every single time I find myself over there I always try to approach this mystery man but my time always runs out before I can even close the distance between me and him.”

“...”

“After that the next time I find myself back in the plane of paradise. I reappear in a more closer distance to the man and there’s something i noticed when I get more closer to him.”

“And what’s that?”

“ The speed of my teleportation increases the more I walk closer to the man in the paradise.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean for some amount of time in a specific area...”

“...”

“I can feel myself becoming infinite. I’m not there yet but I can see what will happen if I was already there.”

“Wait you mean..?”

“I mean it’s almost like I’m seeing from the eyes of my future teleported self on this plane. I have to admit the skill is quite amazing even if it only lasts for five minutes.”

“...”

“But in that five minutes I feel like no one can stop me.”

“Wow.”

“I even named the skill.” Sora chuckled.

“Oh wow and what’s the name?”

“I call this skill the Plane Traveler”)

Gabriel recalled the conversation he had with Sora while he stared at the scene in front of him. Sora was currently standing over Arata in a domineering manner.

“I see...”

Agatha looked at Sora with astonishment. It was then she knew. There was no doubt about it..

‘He’s also a prodigy too. The nephew of Nakamura Sensei. I have to admit he’s quite strong.’

.

Sora was still staring down on Arata. His Aura was feeling somewhat different now. No he had a rather nonchalant attitude now compared to before. Arata noticed this while he stared directly into Sora’s eyes from the ground. What kind of eyes are these he asked? There were only a few people who ever gave him this kind of gaze. Just thinking about it got him more pissed off because he knew deep down that he only saw such a gaze from the other four. So why was he getting such a gaze from this bastard? Has Sora transcended to the level of The Strongest Five?

Arata’s mind had a lot of unanswered questions but rather he was answered with more attacks.

{ kick}

*Bam*

Arata was seen bouncing up again from the ground. He was forcefully lifted off the ground with Sora’s kick.

{Blow from the above}

*Bam*

Sora vanished instantly and reappeared in the air. The next thing Arata felt was a solid blow landing on his back. The impact of the blow immediately made him bounce straightback to the ground but before he could even make an impact with the ground, Sora had already reappeared again on the ground.

{Follow up with another kick}

*Bam*

Sora Immediately gave Arata a strong kick. Arata forcefully bounced away from the ground due to the kick. Sora was currently beating Arata like child. No saying that he was beating him like a child was too much of an exaggeration. It was more like an athlete playing soccer and basketball at the same time but instead Arata was currently acting the role of the ball while Sora was playing the the role of the terrifying athlete.

Arata crashed towards the tunnel walls but before he could fall back on his feet Sora was instantaneously standing there again. Sora was currently moving more faster than the effects of the force of gravity on Arata’s body.

‘Damn this guy is definitely faster than before’

{Now to follow up with some blows}

*Bam*Bam*Bam*Bam*

Sora started blowing Arata indiscriminately. He vanished and reappeared in an instant in order to land indiscriminate attacks. In short Sora’s fast blows were the only thing currently pining Arata to the wall. Arata tried counteracting Sora’s attack but all his effort where to no avail. Right now it was definitely clear that Sora was way more stronger and faster than him but could he bring himself to accept that?

“Kwaaack”

Arata finally screamed. Arata finally screamed in pain. He couldn’t hide his pain anymore. It was quite a memorable scene where his little sense of Loyalty was lost. Anybody who knew Arata well could tell that he was completely beaten right now.

{Blow the Solar plexus}

*Bam*

{ kick Right Knee}

*Bam*

{Punch his Shoulder}

*Bam*

Arata tried to stare at Sora’s face while receiving more painful hits. During this time he couldn’t help but wonder..

{Left knee}

*Bam*

More importantly he wanted to know why...

{Blow to the nose}

*Bam*

‘Why can’t I react?’

{Blow to his stomach again}

*Bam*

‘I can read his thoughts but why can’t I stop it?’

{uppercut}

*Bam*

Arata’s feet left the ground again but while he was still on the air..

{punch to the stomach}

*Bam*

‘I know his attacks before he makes them but..’

{Blow to the head}

*Bam*

Blood instantly splashed out of Arata’s mouth due to Sora’s blow. The stream of attacks coming from Sora felt endless.

‘But..’

{ Kick his left knee }

*Bam*

‘But How is he moving so fast that I can’t counteract his attack’

{ Blow to his solar plexus}

*Bam*

‘No..’

{ Blow to the shoulder}

*Bam*

‘Not like this...’

{Punch to the stomach}

*Bam*

‘I can’t..’

{ Punch to Face.}

‘I can’t let this idiot humiliate me like this!’

Sora was already about to give his finishing attack. A built up punch to the face. This was a punch meant to end everything in this moment.

*Bah*

But Arata instantly caught Sora’s fist.

“Who do hell do you think you are?”

*Bah*

A loud sound was heard. Sora instinctively teleported back. He was right in front of Gabriel and Agatha. He was now a few steps away from both of them. Sora backed away. He was the one controlling the tides of the battle a second ago but he just retreated.

In short that was not even the problem now. Arata was currently the problem. No it’s the same problem. Arata’s presence was different from a while ago.

Kim and Hideyo who were recently fighting in their open area stopped for no just reason. Their expression changed slightly. They were currently able to sense it. They were able to sense what was going on, and it was not just them. Daniel too could sense it, he was currently standing in a dark place as his nonchalant expression changed slightly. In that moment they all knew that Arata had already gone all out. The big question currently running in the mind of each members of The Strongest Five was...

Who made Arata go all out?

.

Arata stood on his feet with intense feelings of anger and frustration pouring out from him. He staggered as he walked forward but his sloppy movements now were not due to weakness but it was rather the opposite.

Immediately a tremendous energy filled Arata’s body. He remembered himself bullying Sora every single time. Sora was weak. So how was he able to stand on an equal footing with him?

‘How is this Bastard..’ Arata cursed out in his mind and grunted while clenching his fist.

He gazed at Sora with dissatisfaction. Sora was currently standing nonchalantly before him. Just seeing him like this made Arata sick. Something deep down in him knew even when he didn’t want to accept it yet. A part of him knew that Sora’s was currently on par with him. And just thinking about it made his skin boil. It was a playing scenario he was not willing let continue any longer.

Arata immediately balanced his feet on the ground. He lowered his knee slightly and the next second he wasn’t there anymore.

‘He’s fast.’ Agatha watched in awe as Arata moved.

*Bah*

Arata quickly went in to land a blow but his blow was quickly intercepted by Sora. Even though Sora was currently holding Arata’s fist, he was vanishing and reappearing back in the blink of an eye. It was more like his three dimensional body was breaking out of display like a disturbing signal in a Television Display.

‘This guy..’

Arata instantly noticed that Sora’s reflexes were also over the roof right now. The guy he was sweeping the floor with a moment ago was now catching his fist. To Arata he felt it was more like an insult to his pride. An insult to everything he stood for.

Arata frown in a dissatisfied manner as he screamed “Sora! I’m gonna beat you blue and black!”

Arata swiftly landed a blow to Sora’s stomach and at this same time Sora also landed a blow to Arata’s face. At that moment they both kept a pace of attacking and counteracting each other. When one person landed an attack the other quickly used the opening to land his own attack too. At that moment both Sora and Arata were on par.

Agatha and Gabriel just stood by as they watched the fight between Arata and Sora with awe. They were not the only ones currently watching the fight too. The audience from the arena were also watching quietly. They were currently locked in the events happening in the Round two. They were currently watching from the big screens due to microchips cameras planted all over the tunnel. In other words they could see everything happening.

Among the crowd, all the three escorts of Gabriel were still watching the fight attentively.

John’s eyes could barely keep up with the fight.

The fight was really interesting that John had to open his mouth..” Amazing”

“Yeah that kid. Gabriel’s partner. He’s really strong” Machia commented with an amazed expression.

“Yeah but why is Gabriel and Agatha not  attacking Arata’s king?” Tom asked feeling rather bewildered.

“Yeah you right. What are those two fools doing?”

.

.

Sora was still holding his ground against Arata while Gabriel and Agatha were just watching.

“Get the king!” Sora screamed.

“Oh shit!” Gabriel eyes became widened. It was an expression of...

‘What the hell? What the hell got into us?’

In that split second of getting their sense of urgency, both Agatha and Gabriel quickly moved to go after Arata’s king.

“No where do you think you’re going?”

“Shit. How did he break away from Sora?”

Arata quickly appeared before Gabriel and Agatha. He instantly kicked away Agatha and got in closer with an attempt to punch Gabriel.

*Bam*

Sora swiftly thwarted Arata from attacking Gabriel by punching him. Gabriel could see Sora still trying to hold off against Arata so he knew he still had his opening. He quickly ran towards Arata’s king again.

‘What the hell? How is this guy getting here? How’s he quickly getting away from Sora?

Arata was already in front of him again and this time he came in front of Gabriel with another blow.

*Bah*

Gabriel was barely able to avoid the blow when he swiftly backed away.

‘Goddamn it’ Gabriel cursed out in pain. Arata’s blow had barely impacted and he felt this much pain.

‘It’s so painful. It barely even hit and it’s this painful. I’m sure If his blow had fully impacted I would’ve absolutely been knocked out’

Gabriel quickly gazed at Sora and Arata fighting. He noticed Arata was getting more faster.

No Sora was the one getting slower. His Plane Traveler is beginning to wear off. He can only use this powerful skill for about five minutes.

‘And how long has passed? Shit’

His expression became greatly disturbed as he thought about it

‘I’m sure four minutes has passed already’

Gabriel was currently disappointed. It didn’t take him long for him to accepts the facts.

‘At this rate we won’t win’ Gabriel thought in a worrisome manner but his worrisome feeling faded away quickly.

‘We have to use it besides if we don’t use it here we won’t be able to use it again throughout the whole of round two.’

“Sora!” Gabriel quickly screamed to get the attention of Sora who was still trying to fight Arata.

Sora heard Gabriel’s voice and quickly glanced back to see him stretching out his hands. Without Gabriel saying it he quickly knew what Gabriel was saying..

( “Wow that’s an amazing power you got there. I wish I had it man.” Gabriel complimented Sora as he leaned back on the fields.

“There’s one more benefit of ‘Plane traveler’ “ Sora said freely with a smile.

“Huh? There’s still more?Does your ability have to keep getting more cooler or what?”

“Hahaha..Yeah it’s cool right” Sora laughed as he continued speaking.

“Around that five minutes of my plane traveler I can share my teleportation ability with another person to use.”

“What? Are you Kidding me?”

“No Gabriel I’m not kidding you. As far as I’m in the plane traveler mode I share my ability with someone, that person will be able to teleport just like me during that five minutes”

“Wow..”

“Yeah Gabriel if we’re ever allies in this Representative tournament, I’ll show you how teleportation feels like.”

Gabriel eyes were immediately opened with eagerness for such a feeling. It was more like his eyes were displaying the burning fire of desire in his heart as he gave Sora an amused smile...

“ It will be our trump card against Daniel” )

In that moment Sora quickly vanished and re reappeared where Gabriel was. He instantly touched Gabriel’s hand. That was the one thing he could do at this moment. Although it felt like nothing happened in the eyes of Arata but...

...Arata was bewildered when he noticed nothing happened but he felt something wrong. Now it was another stinging feeling. It was not just because of Sora anymore.

It was now because of Gabriel.

In that moment Gabriel slowly looked at Arata in the eyes.

‘What’s his eyes saying? I think I have also gotten this look before ’ Arata asked as stared right back into Gabriel’s eyes.

Arata kept his whole body at alert. Yeah He was feeling weird now but what could this regular human possibly do against him now? No matter how strong he gets the strength gap between him and Gabriel has already been decided, so he thought.

But in a split second in his fast alerting eyes Gabriel vanished into thing air.

‘What?’
