After what seemed like an hour I finally arrived at the Runasi Haruhiko Portable Arena, where he hosts an opportunity for anyone to come and kill him in a battle. There was a front gate where you had to register to be added to the line. There were so many guards there I couldn't even get an exact count of how many there were. This place is more guarded than the school. Also at the front gate there was a sign listing the rules of the place, if you didn't follow them you will be shot and killed. The rules were as follows.
NO WEAPONS ON THE GROUNDS
EMPTY YOUR POCKETS AT THE FRONT GATE
NO FIGHTING INSIDE OF THE PERIMETERS
NO KILLING ANYBODY INSIDE THE PERIMETERS
NO SKIPPING THE LINE
PLEASE REGISTER HERE
GIVE YOUR FULL NAME AND AGE
YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO DO A FINGERPRINT SCAN TO MAKE SURE THE I.D MATCHES
THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING THESE RULES
The rules were very clear that it was stupid to not follow them. Luckily, the entrance gate didn't have that long of a line, so I can ask if Eric has registered. If he has, then I need to get in there and tell him off. I waited in the line and I was pretty inpatient, which is very understandable. It finally got up to me and the receptionist asked.
"Name and age please"
"I'm not here to register, I need to know if a person named Eric Pulpis has registered here. He's eighteen."
"I'll check"
The lady looked over at her terminal and typed in the name Eric Pulpis.
"Yep, he checked in about a minute ago"
Shit, he's already checked in, I was hoping I would get him before he went inside. Now I have to go inside, I owe it to my family.
"Actually, I'm gonna register." I said back to her.
"Alright, name and age please."
I told her my name and age. I did my fingerprint scan and she let me in. When I walked in, or should I say I ran in the place that looked like a prison courtyard. People all around, mainly males, some females they all looked around the age of 20-30. I looked around all over the place to find Eric but I could not find him anywhere. Did that woman lie? No, that wouldn't make sense she has no reason to. Finally, after a minute I saw him. Time to talk him out of it. I ran all the way up to him and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"What the fuck are you doing!?" I yelled, shaking him.
"How the fuck did you find me!?" He responded back, pulling my hands off of his shoulder.
"I got home and heard from mom you went here. Why!? Just why!?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"I don't need to understand, I just need you to come back home!"
"I can't"
"Yes you still can! You can come back home and apologize to them."
"There's no way they'll ever accept me again!"
"You don't know that!"
"I do, Lee! Ever since i've graduated from school is the day I was officially disconnected from the family. They've looked at me differently ever since, as the monster I'm currently am today."
"Come on Eric, you're not a monster."
"You know that I am better than anyone else! You saw what happened in that alley yesterday, I saw that look on your face. You were scared of me, so don't act like I'm not one. I know what I am!"
