Awakening of a Forgotten Threat

Chapter 2: Was That a Challenge...?

Reader's POV

"Oi~, y/n-san~!" I heard a call from far away. I spun around on my heels. It was one of my new friends, Alicia Patterson. (Alicia is in the picture above!)I saw her small figure wave to me behind the gates of the vast park that held her. I could see a crowd behind her, focusing on something.

How the hell had I not noticed her when I was walking past?

I quickly ran up to her. A smile was plastered on her face. "Y/n, you gotta see this!! There's a fight going on!"

I was immediately intrigued. A fight going on? How interesting...

Once I was behind the gates of the massive park where Alicia was, I stripped my bag off and we went to join the crowd.

What I saw was... Amazing.

There were two young women in the middle of the huge crowd, kicking and punching each other. I didn't recognize them, but I knew that the fighting was intense.

The girl on the left, who was a brunette, dropped herself to the floor as soon as the girl on the right, who was a blonde, tried to scissor-kick her. The brunette saw her chance and seized the blonde's leg as soon as she dropped one leg to the ground. The brunette pulled her leg towards her and the blonde came crashing to the ground.

The brunette smacked one hand on the ground, and pushed herself up heavily, legs first. Then she backflipped ands he landed on the blonde's chest with her feet!

The blonde convulsed and didn't try to get up again.

At first silence overwhelmed the crowd, but then a burst of congratulatory yells erupted shortly after. However, I was the only one who kept silent. I was speechless. What the hell just happened...?

The brunette stepped down from the blonde's chest slowly. Then she raised her arms to the heavens like an opera singer.

"So! Who else wants a taste of Loretta Wilhelm?!" She shouted to the crowd.

Wait... Isn't Wilhelm a first name...?

(Play music)

I stepped forward. "I would, please." I challenged.

The yells immediately ceased and became whispers and mutters.

"What the hell?"

"Is she serious?"

"She'll get her ass kicked."

"Isn't that Y/n L/n...?"

"They say she's the best fighter in her other town!"

"Well, she ain't never met Loretta before."

"This is a fight I gotta post on YouTube!"

"Who do you think will win?"

"Loretta, dumbass!"

"What if y/n wins?"

"She can't."

"What if she can?"

"Then I'll fight her myself!"

"If she wins, you're bound to get your ass kicked."

All the whispers ceased when Loretta snapped her fingers once. Inwardly, I was impressed by how she ran things so smoothly. But I wasn't impressed by all the whispers that were happening.

"So," Loretta started. "Are you sure you want to fight me?"

I stepped towards her bravely. "Of course. Why else would I challenge you?"
