Chapter 75: Quest 69- Colosseum

“Alright its time for you to come!” said a member of the Hermes Familia.

“Hm.”

Cirrus gets up with his mask still on with only his armor and weapons on hand.

With each step he takes he could hear the crowd of people roaring for the fight.

Cirrus looked at his hand to find it slightly shaking along with the emotion Freya brought out of him.

‘My hands haven’t shaken in so long…guess I can still be this scared and excited.’

He clenched his fists tightly while under his mask a big grin forms. He continued forward until eventually he came out of the tunnel and into the arena.

The crowd’s roar was deafening with Cirrus’s entering the arena.

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“LETS GO!! LETS GO!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Cirrus enters the dirt arena and see Ottar standing on the other side wearing simple armor but sturdy and flexible with two great swords.

“Big crowd huh?” Cirrus said holding back his excitement.

“Yes…are you ready.” He says as an aura of intimidation covers him.

“Heh~ I’m ready when you are.”

“I’ll be sure to wipe that smirk off you.”

Cirrus said nothing as he realized he actually was smiling.

‘Great. Seems I’m learning more about myself. Did Freya actually speed up my puberty? My voice hasn’t cracked so…’

 

As the two stand across from one another several people and gods were watching.

“Do you think Astraea’s kid is gonna put up a good fight?” said Loki.

“My moneys on Ottar!” said Gareth. “I fought him enough times to know he can pack a punch!”

“I would have to agree with Gareth.” Said Finn. “We have fought with Zephyr but never against one another his speed is the fastest of all of Orario, but Ottar has his defense is what allowed him to fight the members of Zeus and Hera.”

“What say you Riveria?” said Loki. “You don’t have to worry those 3 geezers are keeping watch on the city!”

“Well…from what I have seen Ottar would be the most obvious choice…but something about Zephyr is…its nagging me?”

“Well the guild reported that he did level up to level 5 a couple weeks ago when he went to kill some monster Evilus released.” Said Loki.

“What elf? You think he’s hiding his level?” said Gareth.

“Nonsense!” Loki said. “Astraea is to responsible to fake a level up!” she said it with such certainty they believed her.

“Who knows, Finn what do you think?” said Riveria looking at Finn.

“….I don’t know, we shall have to wait and see what this rising star can really do when fighting a strong opponent.” Finn said with his eyes focused on the two fighters.

 

“Man its lucky we made it here on time huh Hephaestus!” Tsubaki said with some food on hand.

“If only you!” she said looking at Eupheme. “Had gotten up early.”

“Mmm why are you not made at Tsubaki? She was working all night?”

“I am, I swear when we get back ill have you both working non-stop for months.”

“I already do that!” Tsubaki said as she stuffs her face.

“Haaa…so Eupheme you wanted to see your patron fight?”

“Hm, yes I wished to see how he uses the weapon we forged together with help from his parent.”

“His parent?” Hephaestus said shocked. “Was their parent a normal civilian or some adventurer?”

“I can’t say I promised him I wouldn’t and on my pride as a blacksmith that I wouldn’t tell of anything pertaining to the weapon other than it is one of a kind.”

“Oh~” Hephaestus and Tsubaki said.

“Well let’s see how your weapon holds up!” said Hephaestus.

“Hmm when are they going to fight!?” shouted Susanoo.

“Now, now calm down, they’ll fight eventually I’m sure they just building the anticipation up.” said Kushida. “Kamu where is Ai?”

“Huh? she should…” she looked over and the rest of the Familia shook their heads. “Ill go get her! She um went to get some food at the vendors!” she quickly got up as did a few of the Familia members.

“…You know they lost her right?” Kushida said to Susanoo.

“What!!!!!!!”

 

“Hmmm…” Alise said looking down at Cirrus from her spot.

“Um why is Alise looking so intently at Zephyr?” said Rethusa asking Neze a level 2 Werewolf beast-human of the Astraea Familia.

“She’s just watching carefully so she when she fights him again, she’ll win.”

“Heh~.” Said Cale. “He pretty tough I doubt anyone could beat him.”

“Heh! Heh!” Alise said with a big grin on her face and hands on her hips. “Ill beat him one day!”

“Doubt it.” Said Phi under her breath.

“I know right.” Said Lyra, a 13-year-old Pallum.

 

“Look at this spectacle Shakti!” said Ganesha looking around in amazement. “One day when our Familia has grown, we could build something like this on the surface so all can come and enjoy!!” he then started to flex his muscles.

“Then we will need more Familia members.” Shakti said. “Right now Hashana and Ilta are really pulling their weight.”

“I know but we must be careful! These are trying times!!”

 

In a private section of the Colosseum.

“Hmm do you think Zephyr could give Ottar a fight? Mia, Allen, Anya?” Freya said looking at them with Mia sitting next to Freya with Allen a 13-year-old Cat-Person and Anya his younger sister a 10-year-old with spears side-by-side around Freya.

“My moneys on Ottar, I’ve seen that deer kid running around every now and again helping out with Evilus. I trained Ottar myself so if he doesn’t want to go through hell again, he’ll better win.” Mia said looking down at the arena as Hermes appears.

“Allen what do you think?”

“I’m not sure but relaying on what I seen at home Ottar has the better chance.”

“And you Anya sweetie?”

When Freya looks at Anya, she could see Anya finding her words.

“W-well um I-I think Ottar would win!” she said as best as she can.

Allen could see her hands slightly shaking.

‘She must have trained till late at night.’ Thought Allen looking at his sister.

“Aw…no one is betting on the little deer?” Freya said as she crossed her legs and rested her head with her right arm. “I’m sure he’ll give Ottar a good fight.”

With Hermes finally arriving with Lydia and Asfi behind him he gets a mic.

“Sorry for keeping you all waiting! I was seeing when all the seats were sold out so we can begin! Now shall we get this fight starteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“URAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The crowd erupted in a roar that could heard from all through the floor and even to the upper and lower floor.

“To my right the Warlord of Orario and Vice-captain of the Freya Familia!!!”

“WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“And to my left! The roaming White Beast of Orario and member of the Familia of Justice the Astraea Familia! Zephyr!!

“WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Are both fighters ready!!!!!!” Hermes said as he walks back with Lydia and Asfi.

“Hm!” Both Cirrus and Ottar nod their head as they place their hands on their weapons.

“THEN LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
