Multiverse Fighting Championship: I'm the President

6 – The Fighters

"If the gods are so mighty, why didn't they build all this right away, Matt?" Lognar asked as he and the others headed to the indoor stadium construction site.

"Yeah, and why am I even given limited funds, even though a god owns one world?" the president muttered. "There are so many questions like that in my head."

Megumi fixed her glasses. "Unfortunately, even I, a former servant of god, don't know the answers to those questions. Maybe we'll never know either."

"Well, it's better if we just enjoy what's in front of our eyes, then." The Dwarf shrugged.

Matt replied. "Yeah, I try not to think about it too much. So far, I haven't had anything that wronged me."

Once they got to the stadium, Matt's mouth curved into a smile. He did not expect the building to reach 60% in just three weeks.

In his wildest dreams, he never imagined having his own stadium.

"Damn." Lognar whistled as the party made their way towards the arena at night, with only some lamps for the light. "It's so different from what I imagined."

"What?" Matt chuckled. "You imagined a boring round arena?"

"Yeah, I have to admit this is unique." Arael, the healer, looked up at the giant screen above the entrance to the arena. There are two smaller screens on either side of that thing. "I've watched fighting events many times, even though my friend forced me to do it. But I've never seen anything like it."

"I can't stand it anymore, sir." Elmar walked up and down the path that connected the entrance and the arena. The music director's smile widened. "I can't wait to see the warriors walk in here accompanied by their entrance music."

"It's bigger than I imagined." Viviane, the announcer, pointed at the partially built spectator stands. "What's the capacity? Five thousand?"

"Seven thousand, and we will continue to expand it when this organization gets bigger." Zaa approached the group with a smile. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

"You are amazing, Zaa." Matt approached the square metal cage that would become the battle arena. "In just three weeks, you have already reached this stage."

"Well, I don't work alone. My men do the heavy lifting." Despite saying that, the planner puffed up. "And it seems I must apologize to you, sir. After working on this building for some time, I'm starting to see your vision. It's incredible."

Matt stared at the white floor of the arena as his fingers clawed at the gaps between the cage's thick wire.

The overflowing emotions in his chest made him want to cry with joy. But instead, he laughed like a maniac, causing the others to freeze and stare at him. "Let's go!!!"

"Ah!!!" Elmar flinched in surprise. "I was too excited, so I forgot to call the shooting crew!!! Wait a minute, sir!"

The music director ran out of the stadium in panic.

Matt wanted to punch that elf for ruining the moment. He was so ready to start all of this.

"It will happen eventually, sir." Megumi fixed the president's collar. "Isn't it fine for a few minutes delay, as long as all goes well?"

Seeing the assistant's pink lips form a smile, Matt felt like his cheeks were being hit by the heat. He didn't realize that that woman was so cute when seen up close.

The assistant noticed Matt's stare, so he left his boss in a flash. After seeing that small moment, Vivianne and Sylvair whispered to each other with a grin.

Meanwhile, Javier Navarro held his stomach. "Ugh…. I hate myself. If there's a big event, I always have a stomach ache because I'm nervous."

Lognar who was standing next to the referee raised an eyebrow. "But you are a former gladiator. So before fights, you always want to take a sh*t?"

"That's why I always finish the fight quickly. It's not funny if I continued to fight with the sh*t in my pants."

"How would it be if you refereeing a match?"

Javier couldn't answer.

"Again, I am sorry!" Elmar entered the stadium again with the crew behind him. They immediately set everything up. Instead of using big cameras, they fly spherical camera drones using remote controls.

Yes, this summoning ritual will also be used as promotional materials.

"So, have you thought of a name for this venue yet?" Zaa stared in amazement at the futuristic equipment used by Elmar's crew.

Matt kept his mouth shut, and it lasted for a few minutes. Zaa turned his head to his boss and asked again. "Sir?"

The president slapped his forehead. "I haven't thought about that at all."

Megumi grimaced. "Sorry, I didn't remind you either."

"That's fine, you're too busy, and that's my responsibility…" Matt rubbed his chin. "Well, whatever. I'll think about it later. Without a name, this stadium will still function."

As soon as Elmar and his crews gave a thumbs up, Matt jumped onto a small podium.

"Where's the mic?" He looked around.

"I have enchanted this place to amplify people's voices. I will choose them, depending on the moment." Zaa explained while glancing at Elmar, who raised an eyebrow. "So, you don't need any loudspeakers."

"Ah, I remember that you said something like that once." Matt scratched his hair. He was too busy, so he missed a few things. "Well, are you all ready?"

The staff lined up to the right and left of the podium, then nodded or gave a thumbs-up. And then, Matt spread his hands. "Let's get this party started!!!"

"Introducing the first fighter!!!" Vivianne let out a powerful voice. "From Earth, Universe 22255, accompanied by Namie Mitsue, the Brightest Idol, Nia!!!"

After Matt pressed the summon button on his cell phone, a pair of girls fell into the arena on their stomachs and didn't move.

"Errr…." Matt waved to those women. "Are you all right?"

"What the f*ck?" Lognar whispered. "With one look, I can tell they haven't fought before."

"You wouldn't understand, Lognar. I've read their profiles, and I can assure you, they are fit for the job." Elmar chuckled. "And I can't wait to do a recording session with that girl, Nia."
