CHAPTER 94 LUNAR'S CHARM
Lunar enjoyed the continuous cheers of the crowd.
He looked around the massive amphitheatre as he stood at the center of the stage.
Lunar had stumbled into a legal fight club in the city.
He had been searching for a hobby he could enjoy without doing too much.
When he spotted a poster of the open fight club, he couldn't help but engage.
One thing led to another and he stood in the center of the stage for his first fight.
"This people must love me"
Lunar smiled as he waved both hands at the crowd.
But of course, the people weren't cheering for him.
"And facing the new purple hair guy, our one and only.... Vortex!!!!"
The stage announcer yelled with spirit energy enhancing his voice.
The cheering increased as a man clad in grey leather armor walked forward.
The fight club was for Beast Masters only. Any ranking was allowed and the match up was strategic.
Most Beast Masters used it to earn a living, along with a local title and recognition.
Others use it to scout for talents.
Even royal knights use it to pass a free time.
The fighter Vortex stood some feet away from the absent minded Lunar, who still waved at the crowd.
"Is this my opponent?" Vortex raised a brow at the announcer nearby.
"Just start the fight and end him quickly "
The announcer walked away.
"Alright then"
Vortex nooded as he summoned his spirit weapon, a long double edged blade glowing with the power of a Beast Knight.
Vortex could see that his opponent was still a Noble, though close to evolving.
But a noble is still a Noble.
With that in mind, vortex charged at Lunar.
Lunar felt an incoming energy surge and he spun to the side.
SWITZH..
A sword flew past him.
"That was a close call"
Lunar breathed and smiled at his opponent.
"This isn't a joke, focus!"
Vortex snapped.
There was something about the purple hair pretty boy's smile.
It was.... charming.
He had that look that could make Ladies flock over him.
It was..... annoying!!!
Vortex fled with jealousy as his energy surged.
He charged at Lunar again with another strike.
SWITZH...
The blade cleaved through the air.
Lunar dodged again.
Vortex didn't falter as he kept swinging his blade.
But each time, the purple haired boy kept dodging. He was like a slippery eel.
"Quit dodging and fight back!"
Vortex yelled.
"You asked for it"
Lunar smirked
His body flashed and he appeared right before Vortex.
Before Vortex could blink.
BAM!!
A palm strike landed on his face.
His eyes widened as he flew back and crashed against the hard marble floor with a bang.
The whole crowd went silent.
They felt the sting of the slap.
The announcer mouth dropped.
"Where'd he come from"
Lunar smiled as he waved at the crowd.
The smile sparked something in them and they burst into a loud cheer.
Lunars wave increased.
"I think imma love it here"
Lunar said.
********
Lunar walked back staged with some silver coins in his hand. The money he earned from the fight.
"I got like three other storage rings from dad, so I don't even need this stuff"
He smiled as he pocket the money.
"Hey there"
A man suddenly appeared before Lunar with a big smile.
Lunar paused.
He scanned the man and raised a brow.
The man was clad in a black business suit with an overall coat. He had a large afro hair and multiple gold rings on each fingers, ears and gold chain around his neck.
He looked weird, but he screamed of wealth.
An Acsendant?
Lunar thought.
"Can I help you?"
He smiled.
"Actually, we can help each other. I'm Marcus, nice to meet you"
He smiled offering a hand shake.
"Lunar "
He shook his hand.
"You showed great talent today. And when I see talent, I see money!"
Marcus was a fast talker.
At least his intentions are clear'
Lunar thought
"I'm listening"
"How'd you like it if I become your manager. With my connections, I'll have you on multiple fights with strong opponents. I tag you as someone who enjoys a good fight, along with fans"
"Well I do love a good fight. That last guy was a wimp that wasn't really worth my time"
Lunar shrugged.
"Well then, work with me and I'll make you a star!"
"Im in. Deal!"
They shook hands.
Few moments later, Lunar stood at the center of the stage.
Another opponent layed plastered on the ground, passed out.
This time he crowd cheered loudly for him.
"I love it here!!"
