Act like a Fool, Shines like a Star!

Chapter 21: Basement Arena.

"Hello? With Pixel Construction Company?"

Lavi called Pixel and greeted him with that. And that confused the hell out of Pixel. He doesn't know how to reply to that message. But he know that he need to ask him what's happening.

"Lavi. What's the matter?"

"Pixel~ I want you to make me a Basement. By combining a Space Magic with it."

"Can I ask you what you're going to do in there?"

"Training."

"Got you. I'm going in."

And suddenly. Pixel arrived at Lavi living room. He easily find Lavi coordinates and teleported to the Living Room.

Pixel sat down on the Couch and there's tea in front of him.

There's only them in the Living Room. The girls are training on the Training Ground.

'I don't have problems with the girls training there. But as expected. They just destroy everyone there. And that's quite a troublesome thing.'

That's the reason why Lavi want Pixel to make him a Basement. Pixel understand the gist of it and he immediately get to work.

"Lavi, I'm going to make the space 50 x 50 Meter okay?"

"Yes! Thank you Pixel!"

"No problem."

Pixel smiled to Lavi. Lavi smiled big to Pixel. Using his Ground Magic and Space Magic. Pixel magically converted the ground below Lavi house into a giant 50 x 50 Meter cube. It's quick and simple.

But Pixel is quite an artistic person. He can't just make the Basement Dirty like this. So he immediately manipulate it into an arena.

There's a lot of chairs on the side of the Room and there's a big circle on the middle of the room. That's the Fighting arena.

And for added beauty, Pixel put an arch along the room. It's just give a really 'Arena' Feeling. It took him 30 Minutes to set all of that up. With his Magic efficiency, He can do that really fast.

If Lavi do that by himself, It took him days to finish. But Pixel only need under an hour.

"Thank you Pixel! You really help me out here!"

"No worries. It would be better if you add your little touch here and there. Do you want to call everyone to test the Arena?"

"Yes please! Can you bring everyone here?"

"Anything for you."

Pixel teleported to everyone and convince them to come. It took them 1 minutes of convincing to come to Lavi new Kingdom.

While Pixel convince everyone. Lavi put a bunch of Magic Stones and enhance the Arena even further.

He added Invulnerable Fortress. Barrier. Soundproof Barrier. To the Arena. And on the Resting area. Lavi put another Magic stones. That Magic stones is Sanctuaries. So everything is useful.

For Lavi, He started to use his Original Silver Annihilation more. Because the Mari Sword is too strong, He only use it when a really dangerous time appear.

It just give him another cool point when he summoned his sword. And not only that, He doesn't find any enjoyment on using that sword all the time. He really likes his Normal Silver Annihilation or his other sword that's weaker.

'It just give me a challenge.'

Lavi thought. He go inside the Arena and then, Pixel arrived with everyone. Including Gwen, Riri and Bianca.

Lavi take his sword out of the ground and said.

"Everyone. Please use your Original Sword. And then we can fight together!"

Lavi said. Everyone nodded and they take their original sword out. Without any hesitation. Lavi charged at Leon. Since Leon is always his opponent when fighting.

Lavi is so fast that when Leon realizes it. Lavi is already swinging his sword. Lavi jumped and swing the sword using his right arm and swing it to Leon neck.

The only way they realizes Lavi movement is because Lavi eyes are so cold that everyone get chills. Leon immediately panicked seeing Lavi fast and cold movement.

Leon immediately lean to the Right. He fall down to the ground and using his free hands. He pushes himself up and then take his sword out. He slam Lavi sword down.

Leon immediately swing his leg to Lavi face. Lavi jumped back and left his sword there. Leon charged to Lavi. He put his shoulder in front and charged at Lavi with really fast.

Without swords or the physique to fight Leon face on. Lavi use his Airwalk and jumped to the air. He immediately push himself to the Sword.

Then, The Ground explode. Lavi roll around on the ground and he forces himself to stand up. Leon charged to Lavi again. Lavi get shoulder press by Leon. Lavi was blasted out of the Arena.

'Bloody hell... It's hurt! But FUN!'

Lavi grinned. He immediately spin around in the air and use His Airwalk again. He jumped and spin his leg really fast. Leon put his arm to the air and Lavi hit Leon arm.

Leon Arm break.

"Huh?!"

Everyone was surprised by that. Even Leon didn't know Lavi can break his arm. Lavi get to the ground and he jumped. He lean to the side and slam Leon chest with his feet. Leon was blasted to the side.

"Shackles!"

Lavi use his Shackles and throw the Sword toward him. Once again. Lavi grab his sword. But the Sword explodes on his hand.

Riri look slightly concerned. But everyone is enjoying the fight throughly.

Lavi hand exploded and it bleeds heavily.

"Wow Leon. No Mercy as usual huh."

Lavi said. Leon smiled.

"Of course. No one can act like a good person in battlefield. How many time I taught you that Lavi?"

"Haha. Too many time. It was engrained in my brain. Anyway. How is your arm? Does it feel nice getting your arm Broken the first time?"

Lavi asked. Everyone is listening on their conversation. It's a normal thing between Lavi and Leon. It give them a time to recover from the pain.

"Well, I want to ask you that. How can you broke my arm? The old Lavi didn't have the physique to break my arm. Instead, It's your leg that's going to break."

Leon stated. Riri was shocked by that fact. Lavi isn't strong enough to break his arm. How strong is Leon physique really is?

Well, In term of Raw Physical Power. Leon is on the top. Followed by Brendon not too behind. Their power is Similar. If Leon is 10. Brendon is 9.8. That's how close their power is.

And then, Followed by Lavi with 8. So Lavi is not the strongest in term of raw power.

"Well, You know the spin that I did right? The more I spin, The faster I become. And the Faster I become. The stronger the Kick. So, Even if you're stronger and denser than me. My speed is enough to counter your muscle."

Lavi explained. Leon and Lavi wound vanished. They were healed by the Sanctuaries that Lavi put. Turns out, It cover the whole arena as well.

Not that it's a bad thing.

"I see... That's nice. Let me try it as well! Lavi, Be ready to blocked okay? If not. You're going to be crushed!"

Leon said. Everyone let out a cold sweats. Their face is saying 'Eh? Uh oh!'

Lavi panicked.

"Oh Lord... Leon is going in for the kill..."

Lavi smile turn into a panic grin. Leon spin around in a very fast speed. It started to make a whirlwind. Suddenly, Leon leaped to Lavi.

Lavi dropped down. He sighed and his eyes turned serious. He put his Sword away to focus on retreating.

Leon come closer to Lavi. Lavi jumped away. But then, Leon left hand reach Lavi leg. Lavi was pulled. Leon Swing his Right arm to Lavi in a very powerful way.

It hit Lavi on the Shoulder. Lavi can feel his shoulder shattered. He started to feel the pain despite the Pain Resistor Max. Lavi was blasted to the wall. Lavi passed out and he fall down to the floor.

"Thank you Lavi. You make me stronger once again."

Leon said. Everyone clapped. It's always like this when Lavi fight Leon. Every time Lavi find something to fight against Leon. Everyone copies it and it makes everyone stronger.

So not only that Lavi is becoming stronger. Everyone is becoming stronger with him too. Everyone just let Lavi passed out on the side. There's nothing broke because of the Invulnerable fortress and Lavi will get healed by himself.

And then, everyone want to see Bianca and Riri improvement. Since they're the weakest in that specific room.

It's crazy thinking that the weakest in that room is able to destroy a whole Knights Army.

Bianca and Riri take their sword out. In term of Swords alone. Bianca sword is better than Riri Sword. Because Riri sword is Lavi 2nd Sword.

It's 10x worse than Bianca and everyone sword.

But that doesn't mean that she can't defeat Bianca. Because, Swordsman is not only look by the sword. But by the efficiency they use their swords.

The better the swordsman. The less they need to use good weapon. But if they do use great swords. That just elevate their power even more.

Bianca and Riri charged at each other. From the Start. Riri and Bianca is going at it. Everyone is shocked by how well Riri put up a fight against Bianca. Every Bianca calculated s***h, Riri counter it with well calculated s***h as well.

The whole Arena is sounded with sword clashing against each other. Riri spin around like Lavi does. And then she s***h toward Bianca shoulder.

Bianca saw that coming from her Calculation. Bianca easily crouched down and stand back up. She spin around and kick Riri on her side. Riri goes limp and absorbed all the impact. Riri flip around and charged to Bianca with her sword pointing at Bianca neck.

'It's about time.'

Bianca thought. She was preparing a pretty nasty tactic that only she can do. Because of her set ability.

'Golden Beacon!'

She only let Riri see that Golden Beacon. And it right in front of Riri. She was disturbed by the Golden Light. Riri stopped moving and she was covering her eyes. Everyone there didn't know what's happening.

But Gwen have any ideas. Everyone look at Gwen.

"I think Bianca is inspired by Lavi flash. So she make a Golden Beacon and blinded Riri with it."

Gwen said. And that's exactly what's happening. Everyone was taken a back by how much Bianca evolved in this short time.

Bianca dashed to Riri. She swing her sword to Riri side. Riri suddenly block it. Bianca was shocked.

"How can Riri blocked Bianca s***h?"

Bianca asked. Riri is still can't see. But she replied.

"By feeling. Bianca. Riri have been working hard to get past Lavi. And Riri still couldn't do it. So Riri make a choice. To become stronger with Riri own style. Even if Bianca take Riri eyes, Riri still can feel the space disturbed by Bianca slash."

Riri said. Everyone there was shocked. That can only be done by a high level people. And not even them can perfect that technique. But Riri. She managed to perfect it in short amount of time.

Bianca smiled.

"Bianca understand Riri determination. But Bianca can't lose here! So Riri. Let's enjoy the fight."

Bianca said. Riri smiled to her and Riri open her eyes.

"Okay! Let's do it!"

Bianca and Riri smiled and they do one last s***h that will end the match. Both Riri and Bianca sword is on each other neck. Bianca hold her sword using her left hand and put it on the back of her neck. Where Riri neck is located. Riri hold her sword with her right hand and she pushed it before Bianca neck.

It ended with a draw. Lavi wake up and said.

"Ah! I just missed their fight!"

Lavi walked toward the rest of the group. Leon asked Lavi.

"Are your shoulder alright?"

"I don't know. It's still limping. And I can feel unbelievable pain come from it."

Lavi said. Gwen sighed and she healed Lavi directly. Lavi shoulder was fixed.

"Oh my god. Lavi whole side is destroyed. No wonder the Magic Stones have a hard time healing him."

Gwen stated. Leon immediately blurted the air inside him.

"Lavi! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to destroy your side like that!"

"No worries! Anything that doesn't kill you just make you stronger!"

Lavi said with a smile. Everyone sighed and muttered.

"Typical Lavi."

Lavi run to the arena and Hug Riri and Bianca.

"You guys did a massive good job!"

Lavi said. Riri and Bianca run at him. But then. Their sword thrust Lavi abdomen.

"B-Bloody Hell."

Riri and Bianca panicked and they apologize to Lavi. Lavi take the sword out and blood started spurting. He healed himself and said.

"Please... Before you hug me, Take your sword back to the Scabbard and hug me! I don't mind if you knee my stomach but, Don't stab it. It's hurt..."

Lavi said. Riri and Bianca nodded. And then, They get out of the Arena. And now. It's the battle between Brendon and Leon. The battle between the two raw power.

Everyone is excited about this Battle.

Leon and Brendon take out their sword. And they smiled at each other.

"How long since the last time we faced off like this?"

Brendon asked. Leon replied.

"I don't know. A year probably?"

Lavi from the resting area.

"No! It's actually 10 Month!"

"Thank you Lavi."

Leon and Brendon said. Lavi is such a mood killer. They just laugh it off and the serious atmosphere turn mellow a bit.

"Well, Let's do it."

Leon said. Brendon nodded. They just charged at each other and exchange a really heavy hit. But Since Brendon is a Berserker. The longer he fight. The stronger he become.

3 Minutes passed since they exchange their blows at each other. Brendon take a step back. Leon also step back.

Suddenly, Their Aura become heavier.

"Burning Leo."

Leon muttered, Suddenly, His whole body was covered by flames. Brendon smirked.

"Berserker's Rage!"

Brendon strength multiplied. Brendon become much Stronger. But Leon in his Burning Leo is also stronger than before.

Brendon push the button and take his Long Sword out. Brendon jumped and swing his sword down to Leon. Leon put his sword to the side and he was getting ready to blast Brendon away,

Everyone was cheering. And then. The inevitable happened.

"Blast!"

Leon swing his sword. Brendon and Leon Sword collided. Making a massive Explosion inside the arena. Both man were fine. They were holding their body up with their sword. They wait for a bit and the Sanctuary heal them both.

They go at it again.

Brendon swing at Leon side. Leon swing his sword down and deflect Brendon sword to the Ground. Brendon foot was planted at the correct spot. And his Muscle bulge. He spring himself up and s***h Leon on the chest in one singular motion.

Fresh blood splatter to the Sky. Leon hold the pain and punch Brendon on his face.

Brendon was blasted away from Leon. Once again. The Sanctuary heal them both, They laughed at each other and they just beat the s**t out of each other.

Riri look at Lavi.

"L-Lavi... Are you sure they're okay? Their blood splatter every where... But they didn't seem to wobble around from the blood loss."

Riri said. Lavi smiled at her and explained how Sanctuary work.

"So Riri. I never tell you this. But Sanctuary is the highest form of Healing Magic. It can heal any type of disease or injuries. It can grow limbs. It can regenerate Blood that you lost. Anything is possible with Sanctuary."

Riri was surprised by that. She never thought that there's a magic like that. And then she muttered.

"It must've eat a lot of Magic..."

"Oh yeah. Gwen can only use it 4 Times. But Magic Stones. It can use it max 100 Times. But it does need a charging. Meaning that I need to be there to store the magic again."

"I see..."

"But that doesn't mean Gwen Sanctuary is worse than the Magic Stones. Gwen Sanctuary can complete a healing process in just 1 second. While Magic Stones. It take a long time to heal people. That's why, An Injuries as big as my shattered Shoulder. Take a long time to recover. It's maybe better to think of Magic Stones Sanctuary is similar to Slow Sanctuary that Gwen use to heal people when sleeping."

Lavi explained. Riri actually understood what Lavi explain to her. And oncce again, She was shocked.

Leon and Brendon is bleeding all over. This is probably the last blow. Their sword have fallen to the Ground. They planted their right foot forward and swing their left fist.

Double Knock out from the hit to the chin. Once again. Everyone clapped their hands.

Lavi use his Shackle to grab Brendon and Leon to the Resting room. Lavi also use his shackle to grab the sword to him. He put the sword beside them and they just wait until the two man wake up.

And everyone get their turn. Pixel fight Luke. Pixel win. Eve fight Gwen. Gwen win. Kiara fight Erina. Erina Win. And that's how the Duel. Basement Arena Edition ended.

Everyone go back up and eat dinner that Lavi cook. After that. Pixel drop them off to their respective area and they go to sleep.

Before sleeping. Lavi, Gwen, Riri and Bianca have a little bit of self reflection. And after telling each other what they were scared about and how to fix that. They just went over to talk about some stupid stuff.

"Wait Riri. You can use Space Recognition?!"

Lavi was shocked when hearing about the Riri and Bianca fight.

"That's what you call it? And yes. I can use Space Recognition."

Riri said. Lavi was amazed by the result of Riri training.

"You know that none of us here can use that right?"

"Really? I thought you can use it."

Riri said. Lavi shake his head.

"No. I can't use it. Even with my CQC magic. I can't use it. In our entire Party. There's 2 people who can recreate your Space Recognition. Pixel and Kiara."

Lavi said. But then, Gwen make a great point.

"Well Lavi. Your Aura read can do that too right?"

Lavi go quiet. Everyone look at him weirdly.

"See? You can use it after all..."

Riri immediately get disappointed. Thinking that she finally able to defeat Lavi at something. Lavi look at her and said.

"Sorry Riri... But I do can use it... Damn it Gwen... I want to make Riri feel good!"

Lavi said to Gwen. Gwen chuckled. Gwen pull Lavi down to the Bed and hug him. Riri slide down and hug him too. Bianca is already asleep at that point.

"Buu..."

Riri pouted to Lavi when she heard that. Lavi let out an awkward chuckle and kiss Riri forehead. They go to sleep after that.
