*MC POV*

Today I plan on starting to fight everyone in the clan in the betting match. There are lot of strong guys in the building so I don't have to worry about opponents running out.

I took my comms and informed the guy called Fizo, who was the one proposed this fight. Then I was asked to come to the bar to discuss the details.

I went to the bar and found Fizo sitting among his friends as usual. As I walked towards him, he noticed me and nodded his head at me and whispered something to his friends.

"Hey wine maker, do you still want to fight us?" He asked with a tone laced with malice.

"Yeah sure, where do you want to fight?" I asked to him.

I know that they think I'm weak and they are ready to swindle some money out of me. But do I care? Not one bit, because I know these guys are weaker than me now. They are merely a stepping stone to gain some credit and some reputation to fight the real fighters who were stronger.

"Let's take this to the ring, you don't mind if we broadcast this in the internal servers, do you?" He asked playfully.

"It's fine but we need an intermediary person who would be neutral." I said to him cautiously. I'm not afraid of them. I'm afraid I won't get the credits that I win so, I plan to bring someone else as neutral party.

"Neutral party, eh? Fine. Who is it?" He asked with arrogance.

I pointed my hands behind his back. He looked at the person coming and was startled momentarily. He was not expecting him to be here. Franco.

Franco is one of the captains and a powerful one at that. He also manages the bar as he would get commission from that. I went to him yesterday and asked him to be an intermediary. At first he said no but I convinced that he would get 30% of the bet money the winner gets. He was convinced, so that's how I got him on board.

I have to swallow some losses to gain something, so I didn't mind him getting the cut. Now Fizo was looking at me asking for questions.

"Well, captain Franco will be our neutral party. He will get 30%of the money you get from winning. So if we bet 100 credits he will get 30 credits of the losers bet which will go to the winner. Are you fine with that?"

"Fine.. but you have to atleast have 10 matches with our group. This is my condition. Are you okay with that?" He asked with a smirk.

'I know what this douche is thinking. God. He is thinking along the lines, 'because of the captains appearance I lost my chance to gain some credits but if I fool this guy into playing more matches we can gain even more, looking how eager this guy is he will accept for sure. Ahahahaha.' I'm not a psychic but I can almost read what's going on his mind. I say, atleast hide that until I accept.'

"No, I'm not okay with that." I said.

He was shocked to hear me say this. But he eventually asked,

"Why?"

"Well, the number is too low. I want atleast 20 fights in this week. That is from your group." As I said that Fizo looked stunned and started laughing like a maniac and his friends started doing the same. As I was saying this Franco already appeared in front of us.

"So, are you all ok with the deal. If you do so register your names for the 20 fights. From Justin's side its only Justin. What about you Fizo?"

As Franco asked Fizo respectfully greeted him and answered him.

"Hello captain. Our entire squad is going to fight him all 20 of us including me, sir."

"Okay. That's settled. Then let's go to the arena. Whoever backs out from this, I'll personally hunt them down got this?"

Everyone became tense and answered tensely.

""Yes sir""

"Yes" I said.

As the situation was established we went towards the elevator. As I was going I got a message. Looking at that I smiled. The message was from Komiko and Arora.

"I hope you are not planning to lose because I'm planning on placing some credits on you winning. Be sure to win."

I smiled at that. And I looked at Arora's message.

"If you earn big you have to give me a treat. After all I taught you everything."

I shook my head and went with Franco to throw arena.

The elevator opened to the 4th floor and when I entered I saw a huge hall where some stages are located in the middle and there were spectator stands on the side of the hall.

'Did they just allocate a whole floor for arena?' I thought to myself. Soon the group went to one of the stage and Franco registered our fight. The first fight was not between me and Fizo. It was one of the other guys in the group as he will be testing my strength I suppose?

We soon entered the fighting stage. The guy opposite of me looked like a lizard man while holding a spear. Franco checked the weapon to find any hidden laser or any blaster.

It I didn't let my guard down.

"Alright, Start fighting now."

As soon as he said that the lizard man dashed towards me with the spear in the stabbing motion. I looked at him without moving. As soon as he got close to me I moved my body a little bit backwards and deflected the spear.

As soon as the spear was deflected I punched the lizard with a hook right to his jaw. The lizard man flew away from my punch and went out of the stage and there was no sign of him standing up. From the moment I deflected the spear to the moment lizard man flew away from my punch, it happened in 2 seconds. Franco then announced the winner.

"The winnner is Justin."

The crowd was shocked. Atleast the one I brought here. They didn't expect me to win so easily. I then looked at Fizo and smirked. He was fuming like was cheated out of his money. God I love his face. I really wanted to punch his face before when he was smirking like an a villain. I wanted to tell him that he was a canon fodder but if I did that where would the fun be.

Then another fight continued. It's result was not any different. Then another one. Seeing me without any sign of tiredness, everyone was hesitant to get on stage to the fight.

Franco looked at the fighters that didn't want to come up. Fizo couldn't take this and slowly walked towards the stage. I know that he is a bit stronger than the rest of his 'friends'.

As soon as he got on stage he looked at me and said.

"You cheated me."

He looked infuriated. I could imagine what he was feeling. But I didn't care.

"No, I didn't cheat you at all. You were the one trying to cheat me. Alas..hehe"

I laughed at him mockingly. He couldn't stand any of this and rushed towards me. He was not holding any weapon, so I was ready to block whatever he threw at me.

He rushed towards me and threw a punch towards my face. I blocked his punch and threw a punch of my own. Suddenly I felt the hands which he punched me earlier slip as his skin was slippery. His hands soon landed on my shoulders.

Because I was in the middle of throwing a punch I stumbled a bit. Fizo then used this opportunity and threw himself at me. That's when I saw his mouth open up like a shark and aiming to bite my neck.

Soon I stabilised and I pulled on his hand and hold him in a triangle choke by closing his mouth with his own hand. He struggled for a bit, seeing he couldn't escape he broke his own shoulders and got out of the choke and pounced on me again.

I got frustrated and kicked him in the gut which gained me the distance I want. Soon i got into a stance and looked at Fizo. He was unconscious and there was a deep foot print in his chest. I winced looking at his injury.

But didn't feel sorry a tiny bit. If I was a little bit careless the f*Coker would have bit my neck off. I'm stronger than him in every aspect but he forced me like this. That's when I realised that fighting has a lot of unexpected factors which could cost my life.

I slowly got down from the stage and looked toward Franco who announced my victory. I went to Franco to collect my share on the bet. It was 280 credits. I earned that by fighting 3 easy fights and one unpredictable one.

I looked at Franco and asked,

"Franco, I want the rest of the fight to be finished within three days. Is that possible?"

He looked at me and nodded and informed the other fighters about it. They were disgruntled but they picked a wrong prey this time and they knew it. So they reluctantly accepted to the change.

The remaining fights were not worth mentioning. Some gave up immediately after seeing the damage i caused and some fought with all the got, with poison laced dagger, nails and stuff. I got to know that by unknowingly stabbing a guy with his own dagger. As soon as I did that he was frothing from his mouth and fell down. I do t think he is going to survive this.

I didn't feel any guilt or remorse of any kind. I just did what he would have done if I'm not on guard. That was the only death in the fights. No one cared about the dead guy.

After three days all fights were finished. In total I earned 1400 credits from all these fights combined. It was a significant amount for me as I was only earning 200 per week.

But this was not the major benefit. The major one was I got permission to enter the arena anytime I want. If the opposite party is interested I can challenge anyone to a fight. This was the real benefit that came out of this. Oh, like a good transmigrated, I'm going to grind.
