Testra sits in front of the camera, showing a firm expression. "Perhaps all of you are wondering why I, who have been with that organization for a long time, moved. You could say that my existence is synonymous with that organization."
Standing behind the camera, Matt gave a nod of approval to that horned creature.
"But they never progress. I'm tired of killing those weaklings. I was happy when they decided to make a championship." The minotaur's breath began to get heavier. "But they're scared to do more than that! They haven't changed their choice of fighters! They'll still hire vicious monsters, making their fighters boring!"
He then stood up, causing the crew to flinch because of his intimidating aura.
"They say they don't want to lose their identity. But in reality, they are afraid of losing their old fans. They are too comfortable with what they get, so they become cowards."
Eyes wide, the minotaur brought his face close to the camera lens. "
"Then, how about your next match?" Matt asked, standing next to the Zerneider. "Are you going to hesitate again?" Jun was silent, while Greg kept looking at Zerneider's face with his innocent expression. “You miss these moments, Jun Tokuma?” The president also looked at the pictures in those frames. "When you manage to defeat those monsters or save innocents. You miss seeing the smiles of those you protect." Greg chimed in. "Now you can make the fans smile by fighting your best!" Jun Tokuma crouched down in front of that boy. His smile is now accompanied by a sad look. "But those smiles resulted from fights that shouldn't have happened. We were forced to destroy each other for entertainment. Don't you see anything wrong with that, Greg?" "I don't understand what you mean, Jun." Greg tilted his head. "They seem willing to do it." "Even Shori wants to keep fighting here; her reason is beyond saving her tribe." Matt continued
Askreim sat on the floor of her magnificent palace, looking out over a large pond in the center. The pool shows Matt walking with Megumi. "Ah, you're finally here too, Teagan." The goddess smiled as she saw a man with long black hair approaching her. A giant scythe was slung over his back, and his dark gray shirt was decorated with skull-themed patterns. "That's because you didn't respond to my messages, Reim." The afterlife guard sighed. "Yeah, I want you to visit me. I've come to you many times. This time, it's your turn." Askreim put on a smile. "How do you feel? Do you feel stronger because you were immortalized as the name of the MFC stadium?" "Yeah, little by little." That God was standing next to Askreim. "I have to admit. At first, I didn't agree with that and thought we would be better off finding another way to exist." The goddess chuckled. "You really don't like interference from outside, huh? Well, you've always refused m
Jun Tokuma walked at the bridge leading to the arena. The 'abyss' has surrounded that cage. He entered the arena and sat cross-legged in the middle. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the white floor and spoke. "All this time, I've been fighting for reasons that might make you cringe and think I'm stupid. To make people smile, so they don't feel afraid and live peacefully." That man raised his head, looking intently into the camera. "So, are you all smiling watching me fight? Do you guys enjoy us being pitted against each other?" Sitting in one of the stands, Matt could feel the intensity in Jun's tone. That man is being serious. "You want me to fight my best to make you smile?" The veins on Jun's face started to tighten. Through clenched teeth, he continued. "Fine. I will fight for your smile so you will be entertained. There are no evils here for me to defeat, so I have no choice but to do this." He then stood up, but a growl from the speaker interrupted him. He glanced toward t
The lights in the stadium are off. The monitor screen displays the Teagan Stadium. "Multiverse Fighting Championship, where individuals fight for various reasons." A woman's voice came out of the speaker. [Narrator: Megumi] The scene changes to show Rory Egan's face. "For glory." Then turned to Elisa Weinreich. "For a promise." Nia and Namie now appear in that thing. "For recognition." Next, Lexi Mirea's face fills the screen, complete with her seductive smile. "To show who they are." The cheers of the audience started to rise. "For their own happiness." Testra and Salvia's faces alternately appeared on the screen, followed by Jun Tokuma. "Or for the happiness of others." The scene shifted to Shori, who was looking down. "There are also those who fight for the sake of fighting." And finally, the screen displays the rest of MFC's roster. "And more." Dramatic music filled the arena. The crowd's voices grew more intense. "And all of that culminates in the big gold." Megumi's n
{A week before MFC 6}Shin entered a tent workshop while carrying a plastic snack pack. "Excuse me, I hope I don't bother you."Thea Salazar, working on Salvia's skates, stopped what she was doing. She got up from the floor and asked the ninja. "Did I do anything to make the best shinobi here come to see us?""I'm surprised you know about the name 'shinobi." Shin smiled and glanced at Salvia, who was taking a nap on the floor with her mouth wide open. "I don't know if this is Salvia's favorite borgirs, but I hope you both like it. I don't know what you like, Thea Salazar."The mechanic laughed as Shin lifted the snack pack. "That's not real burgers, but candy called gummy. It tastes fruity.""Ah, sorry." The ninja eyed the ping-pong ball-sized gummies from the transparent plastic wrap. "One of the workers from the new not-yet-open shop suggested this to me when I asked if they had instant burgers. The burger shop isn'
"I'm just one step away." Nia hissed. She looked like she would cry, but not a single tear fell. "By reaching that title, I will prove that Namie Mitsue is the greatest scientist!" "Sorry, you won't get this title," Shin replied. "But you have become proof that Namie Mitsue can make a formidable warrior." Suddenly, Nia's skin and clothes caught fire. It's like there's heat coming out of that idol's body and doing that. Shin frowned, choosing to go first and attack his opponent. Nia didn't do anything when she received the slash-and-stab combination from the ninja. Her mouth let out a voice with a flat tone. "Overcharge. Warning. This procedure carries the risk of causing major damage." Suddenly, the iron plates on Nia's body were released at high speed. Shin's body was thrown away by the force of those things flying from the idol's body. "What in the world?" Lognar held his breath when he saw Nia's body. Now, the idol is just a thin fr
When will this end?Only a few seconds had passed since the drill destroyed one of his hips, but Shin felt like it had been hours. The ninja can't stand it anymore. He wanted to lie down and close his eyes, forgetting the pain.Unfortunately, the match would probably be a draw if he did that. He will still hold the belt but will not be satisfied if this match ends like that.As champion, he must win.He could also lose if he let his body fall. Nia has started to wiggle a little. She is not a living creature consisting of flesh and bones. Who knows, maybe she can still stand up."Please…" Without realizing it, Shin said that in a barely audible voice.The referee nodded to Matt, then returned to the center of the arena. While pointing to the winner, she gave a signal to the official.Cheers from the audience returned again."Viv," Matt called the announcer.Vivianne, who was still shocked by that, flinch
"The match will start with two participants entering the arena. Then, every 90 seconds, a new participant will enter." Vivianne explained the rules of the special match. "Participants can be eliminated as soon as they enter the arena. The way to eliminate opponents is to remove them from the arena, but this only works if both of the participant's feet touch the bottom of the abyss. The winner is one participant who manages to survive until the end. And they will get a title match for the MFC championship!"The screams of the audience filled the stadium, followed by accordions playing. Apart from the large screen displaying Norug's name, two small screens beside it showed the number one."Come on! You didn't shout loud enough!" Norug smashed a clay alcohol bottle to his head. "You guys want to see me win, right?"Matt commented. "Norug told me that this match was like an obscure brawl in a bar but watched by many people. To be honest, I didn't really unders
