Fighting in the club felt amazing
The adrenaline rush, the cheering of the crowd, the quick thinking needed to avoid attacks, it was all there
"AND OUR WINNER IS, Y/N!"
The winning streak he was on felt just as great, what first was an effort to make a little money turned into hours of fighting in the club with seemingly endless stamina.
To be fair, none of the fighters really came close to beating him in the first place, most of them being vagrants looking for a quick way to make money after escaping from their fragmentum overtaken homes.
Getting out of the ring for what felt like the hundredth, he takes off his hoodie and ties it around his waist, despite being on a frozen planet still feeling hot from all the fighting he'd done
Turning to the usual spot the managers been standing in for what felt like hours, he approaches him
"Hey, think I can cash out now?" He never thought he'd ever have to say this in his life in connection with fighting in a club and not when he'd get angry at his lagging phone while cashing out online.
"Sure, give me a second" he said, leaving Y/N standing as he walked off, speaking with another guy before disappearing into the back of the club
After some time though, he returned with 3 bundles of what he'd presumed were credits and a clipboard tucked away under his arms
He hands him the bundles before taking the clipboard from under his shoulders, scratching out content on it
"You've fought 23 battles today, a won battle gets you 10.000 credits, since you won all of them, this is the total sum." He ended his sentence as he circled the number on his clipboard, turning it to show him the process of calculating as well as the total sum which was 230.000 credits
He can't really tell if this was a lot or not, always having having upwards of 20.000.000 million credits in game and never using them other than to level up his characters, so he took the cash with a smile and excused himself.
He tucked away his credits in his sweatpants, thankfully having baggy enough pockets to fit them all, having left his bag on the express for thinking it would end up being a hazard when in combat
Walking out of the club he felt something grab his shoulder, being spooked he backed away slightly, this 'something' being heavier than the average hand. Only to reveal it wasn't your average hand, but a robotic one.
He was met with the blue eyes and fiery red hair of Luka, who was smiling brightly at him
"Ya got a second?" Lowering his hand he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly with the other
"Yeah sure, ya need something?"
He was worried about what was going to be the consequences of doing good in the fighting club
"I'm Luka, pleasure to meet you, I saw you fighting in the ring, you're pretty good."
"Thanks, High praise coming from a champion." He wanted to make sure Luka knew that he knew that he was champion, trying to avoid the almost inevitable question
"Ah, so you're familiar with my title already" Somehow his smile only grew even brighter at that
"Sure am, 30 tournaments, 28 wins, I'm familiar." He was trying to further reiterate that he knew how good Luka was in the ring compared to a beginner
"Great! Then you must know how much I enjoy a good fight in the ring?" This was heading exactly where he though this was heading
"Would you like to duel, just you and me in the ring?" He sounded so excited, but he couldn't risk fighting against Luka, especially with viewers there to see.
Luka held a prestigious title in the underground, a senior member of wildfire, champion of the fight club
So what would happen when a person, that randomly appeared in the underground, fighting for the first day in the fight club beats the undefeated champion in the ring for everyone to see?
He just couldn't risk attracting that kind of attention, especially right now since their still wanted, if somehow anyone caught wind of this other than the underworlders, this could cause serious problems for the crew.
He just couldn't risk putting the others in danger like that
"Oh, I don't think I'm quite on the champion level of fighting, I'm just a beginner."
"Nice try but you can't fool me like that, your more than an experienced fighter"
Well shit
"Well you're right, but I really can't do this right now"
Luka seemed like he was about to question why so he immediately gave an explanation
"Look, I really need to get back to my friends, their at Natasha's clinic and I really need to check up on them." That seemed to do it, Luka looked a bit sad which looked a lot like seeing a puppy lose it's favourite toy
"Oh, I didn't know" he seemed to be taking this more serious than it is, and Y/N felt kind of responsible
"Look, I'll come back to the club eventually after I've arranged some free time, and I promise you're the first person I'll look for when I do."
That seemed to get Luke's spirits right back up, smiling again as he hit his shoulder playfully "hell yeah dude, how 'bout this, I give you my number and you call me when you have some time on your hands?"
Well this was certainly something he didn't expect
To bag a champions number on his first trailblazing expedition
You go dude
"Sounds great!" He was smiling now too, Luka's positive energy seemingly infecting him
He handed Luka his phone, and after some tipping, handing it back to him with a new added contact, Luka having saved himself as 'Luka 🥊💥'.
"I'll see ya around then, time to defend my honour as a champion!" He said, patting him on the shoulder before walking off after getting a goodbye from Y/N.
Well this certainly worked out better than expected
He'd still have to fight Luka, but he'd have time until after they seal the stellaron, it'd set his friends in less danger of getting caught while still wanted.
Who knew that fighting in a club could give you this many benefits?
