Martial Arts System
chapter-209

The young men and women in the arena didn't know what to do. They are supposed to fight till death.

''I-I can't do this!'' One young man with blond hair shouted— he ran towards the edge of the arena and jumped off!

*Boo*

A booing concert appeared in the stadium, but the young man didn't care.

Few others thought about leaving the arena as well, most of them haven't had deathmatch before, and they could barely stand straight. They felt like their hearts were about to explode out of nervousness.

The young man who jumped off wiped his sweat and started walking towards the exit of the arena, but then...

*Bang*

The young man became stiff, and he lifelessly fell down to the ground. There was a massive hole in his forehead which was dripping with blood!

In one of the VIP stands. One man was holding a pistol with a smoking barrel.

''Useless!'' He shouted angrily. He was the one who recruited that young man, and because of him, he lost respect and money.

The young men and women paled. If even leaving the arena will cause death, how can they survive?!

One young man with bright red hair grinned— he saw an innocent young woman standing not far from him, not concentrating on the battle at all. She had a pale face with tears about to leave her eyes.

The red-haired young man stabbed his sword forwards!

*Stab*

''AH!'' The young woman cried out as the sword pierced through her heart.

The red-haired young man whispered, ''I like your screams!''

The young woman fell down on the ground without any sign of life.

*Cheer*

The spectator cheered after the first kill!

''Hahaha! Thank you, thank you!'' The red-haired young man bowed towards the audience, which caused another round of cheering.

A hundred meters away from that scene.

An average-looking young man with ordinary brown hair and a slim figure saw the scene. His name is Roy, and he is one of the fighters of Group A.

Roy saw as more and more young men and women started killing each other.

There wasn't anyone near Roy, since they entered the arena, he tried to find a place without any people near.

He held a sword and shield in his hands, but he had never used these before. He is a genius of hand-to-hand combat, but he has absolutely no experience with weapons.

Roy is from a small country in Arya, with a loving family. He was an Ace of their Martial Arts Club and managed to get his school into Battle of Countries, but he is only 16 years old while his team members were 18!

But, he was still the strongest on the team.

In the Battle of Countries, they lost in the first round, but it was still the first time their school managed to reach the Battle of Countries.

Roy's strength did not go unnoticed by Underworld, and he got recruited. He didn't have any choice other than accept— otherwise, his family would have been sold into slavery.

His family thinks that he is in training camp, but instead...

''Ahhh!'' A loud scream echoed in the stadium. Roy watched as one of the young men got his arm chopped off.

The arena's floor has already been stained with blood. Roy saw as the red-haired young man was slaughtering everyone— he was clearly the strongest one!

There were people trying to gang up on him, but only death awaited them.

''What am I doing here...'' Roy started retreating until his leg touched the edge of the arena. He felt tempted to jump off and start running away.

''I want to go home...'' He bit his lip with strength, but hundreds of different scenarios went through his mind. If he jumps off, his employer might not be satisfied and will sell his family to slavery.

His hands shook, his sword and shield felt heavier than before.

Thoughts that he had never thought of before surfaced into his mind.

Why should I care?

Even if they are sold into slavery, I will survive.

Roy felt even more tempted to jump off, but then the innocent laughter of his little sister surfaced into his mind.

His feet were about to leave the arena, but the laughter caused him to put his feet firmly on the floor of the arena. He turned around and looked at the carnage in front of him.

He looked at everyone with bloodlust— everyone in the arena was in his way. If he survives this, he can see his family again.

''Raaah!'' Roy screamed and ran straight towards the others.

In the middle of the arena.

The red-haired young man killed another one— he had easily over 20 kills already. His vicious face was stained with blood, and his athletic body had small wounds.

This red-haired young man's name is Daniel.

His face had a sickening grin while he was slaughtering everyone. He ignored their pleas for mercy and used his sword as his instrument of death.

Everyone in the stadium thought that Daniel must have been crazy since he was a child, but they were wrong...

In middle school, he used to be a model student and his class' representative.

Daniel was also friends with the whole male population in his class.

He was also quite good in Martial Arts, but not in the level of genius.

He also had a beautiful girl as his girlfriend— they were childhood sweethearts, everything seemed perfect.

But, everything in his life was a lie.

First of all, his so-called girlfriend had cheated on him repeatedly with all of his friends. They made fun of him because he didn't know they were banging his girlfriend behind his back.

The only reason he was chosen as class representative was to keep him busy while they were having fun with his girlfriend.

One day... He found out the truth.

He had to take equipment to the equipment storage, and there he saw the scene... All of his so-called friends having fun with his girlfriend, who seemed to enjoy it.

Out of disbelief, he stayed there to listen to their groans of pleasure, but he also heard them making fun of him.

That brought him to the edge of madness.

He was holding a baseball bat in his hand— he was supposed to take the baseball equipments to the storage.

He entered the storage, and everyone in there seemed shocked to see Daniel there.

They tried to make useless excuses, but Daniel's face was... A cold as ice.

The next hour, the storage room was full of screams of agony.

He used the baseball bat to crush every part of their body until finally ending it with one swift swing of a bat towards their heads.

He left his girlfriend last so she can witness everything.

That happened in the last year of middle school.

After he killed his girlfriend... He disappeared.

No one could find where he went to. Everyone called him a psychopath who killed his innocent girlfriend and friends.

He disappeared from the world, but he entered the Underworld! He quickly became infamous and rose ranks quickly. Then, when he reached 18 years old, he was recruited into this tournament.

This tournament has three gold ranked individuals— they are the so-called winning candidates.

And.... Daniel is one of them!
