The World We Do Not Know 108 Old Enemy, New Laughing Stock

The match ends with George losing to Ranada, but Ranada too received physical injuries, but it doesn't matter as they already have a subst.i.tute and the nanoresucts.

The only drawback is nanoresucts can only restore your physical injuries but not the spiritual energy that is already spent.

Faust witnesses a pure fight of skill, techniques and raw strength. This is actually tougher than he antic.i.p.ated, some of the captains are not to be taken lightly. A captain with martial arts techniques is already dangerous, but a captain who is well versed in martial arts and also possess tons of spiritual power is leagues above a captain like Faust.

"This gluttony is not to be taken lightly, they are second place in the first round with a young captain. And now this Ranada is like a veteran who is leagues above the young captain I beat. And that young captain felt stronger to me." Faust declares to his squad.

"Well, these are veterans Faust! While you and that young captains are beginners. We will be happy if you win at least one match! That will keep us in the home." Fab suggests, sensing the nervousness creeping up into Faust's heart.

It is true, the gluttony squad in the first round is tougher than any other branch Faust and his squad faced. He barely won over them by the help of Fab, Jonathan and Rachel and by using different strategies and by eliminating them.

It is different in this round! You have to make your opponent give up or knock him out to win this round. And there are no buildings or any covers in this Arena.

"The next matchup! The crowd favourite! From the–are you sure about this?" While announcing, the host faces a problem regarding the name of one of the branches. 

A member from the management approaches Faust to confirm the name of their branch house and Faust nods his head in agreement.

Fab, Jonathan and Rachel including Tsumugi's mom is curious as to what bizarre name it is that the management itself came to confirm. Faust tells them to wait until the name is announced officially.

"From the house of Devils! Welcome, Faust! And the other side, from the house of Richard's! Let's welcome Barkha!" The host announces loudly and the crowd goes nuts hearing the name of the kid that created history in the first round of the purge.

But on the other side of the crowd in the n.o.bles balcony.

"D-devil's house?" 

"How did you even come up with the name Faust?"

"That's it, I'm leaving the house tomorrow, I'm gonna go pack my bags."

Rachel, Fab and Jonathan are surprised to hear the name. It is not a friendly name or anything special. The three expected a unique or cool name from a cool and powerful guy like Faust.

"What? That name is the coolest! The name of our house itself is the House of Asuras, which literally mean the house of demons so why not? You all are just jealous! I'm sure Grandma Aiko would love this name. Only she knows the true meaning of cool names." Faust implies to the name of the house they belong to, adding that Tsumugi's mother would find this name more befitting since her husband named the house as the House of Asuras.

"Good Lord! That is our name? I was wondering what fool came up with such a name. That name scared me, G.o.d's house would have been better ain't it?" Aiko replies back, shattering Faust's heart along with his hopes.

"Please, Faust from the Devil's branch!" The host invites Faust again who is lost in the debate about the name of their branch house.

"It's finally his time!" Hades whispers under his breath, as he curiously sits straight on his throne to view Faust's every move.

Faust goes inside the arena, in between Ten thousand people, fighting in a city like structure in between no audience is no pressure but he takes a deep breath to calm his heart down in between ten thousand people.

"Yes, you better be scared! You even grew height of a couple of inches since the last time I saw you." Barkha, the older brother of the bully Ahito, who beat Faust in the past back in Mindoro says in an arrogant tone.

"Y-you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! What the h.e.l.l are you doing?" Not being able to believe what he is seeing in front of him, Barkha shouts in desperation! He is in despair that Faust did not listen to anything that he said in a deep voice to scare Faust.

"Ohhh! Ahhh! Thank you!"

"Eyahhhh! Not really! It's not that big a deal."

"Eyahh eyahh, don't make me shy guys."

Meanwhile, Faust is holding his hands in front of him, his head lowered with cheeks turning red. His eyes are lowered too, ahy to look at the crowd around him.

And his b.u.t.t is twitching and poking out, goofing around acting shy due to the compliments raining on him from the audience.

"Hey! It is our match you know! b.a.s.t.a.r.d, pay attention to me." 

"Start the match." The referee announces the match and Faust gets all serious. 

"I will make you remember who I am." Barkha takes out knuckle dusters from his pocket and puts them on his knuckles.

"I'm sorry I didn't hear you, I just don't hear s.h.i.+t!" Faust says as he goes on to take out his sword from his portal.

He is goofing around till now but as soon as he hears that the match started. He wants to fight seriously by giving his all for the sake of his family. 

"You sure learned how to talk, but in this adult world, I need to te" before Barkha finishes, Faust appeared right in front of him, he is holding his scabbard tightly in the middle with both of his hands and before Barkha could react.

A hard blow from the scabbard lands on his throat. And Faust pushed Barkha onto the ground with that and kept smacking his head with his scabbard. He didn't even draw the sword out. He knocked out Barkha by smacking his head with the scabbard.

After Barkha pa.s.sed out, Faust stood near him with one of his feet on Barkha and waves to the audience and starts blowing flying kisses like a celebrity with a cute expression on his face.

It's a completely one-sided match, some did not even know that the match has started. Barkha lost his two upper jaw teeth and is not waking up no matter what.

Some are wondering how it is possible to knock the person out completely with jusf hitting them on the head with scabbards.

"Uh–and with that–Faust has wo–won his first match." The host announces while being confused. The match has just begun and already ended? Barkha is a captain cla.s.s that we are talking about.

"It has ended already?" Hades asks in surprise, he is still expecting Barkha to get up on his feet.

"It is Richard's house we are talking about." Leviathan helps Hades with clues.

Richard's house is the house with the lowest points till now in this purge. They have not won a single match in the entire purge.

"Are we sending them off this time?" Hades asks for his son's opinion.

"Well, the lowest has to go."

"Good, and don't let this soldier be in any of our branches! Kick him out or send him off to farthest dimensions." Hades expresses his disappointment with Barkha.

"Still, do you think he must have sensed the weak spiritual power of his opponent." I don't know if he sensed it but I cannot seem to sense it from him, I can't even sense when he jumped from one place to another like teleportation. I could not notice any power level.

"Did you hear tales about Ares?" Hades asks in a serious voice.

"Yes!"

"It is said that Ares did not have spiritual power too when he first joined the house."

And with that Faust wins a match early on the second day. Faust's squad along with Tsumugi takes a deep breath, they are relieved and now sure that they will be staying in the house until another purge arrives.
