''You know what to do?'' Petter asked while taking a glimpse at the audience and saw the principal and Major of the City of Architecture having a lengthy discussion.
''Humiliate them?'' Juuso said with a grin.
''Correct, let everyone see that barbarians like them are inferior beings,'' Petter said with venom and glared at Patti, who actually dared to look him in the eye, and he was only a second away from bashing his head.
Sami turned his head towards the audience, and his eyes sparkled as he saw Sini.
Her face, for some reason, was pink as she and her friends were cheering, at first it seemed that they were cheering for Damio, but that might not be the case.
''Hey, Sini!'' He shouted and waved towards the cute and youthful girl.
Sini turned her head towards the voice and saw who it belonged to. She gave an awkward smile and did a small wave before turning her head back.
''Heh, I love when she is shy,'' Sami said and leaned on the chair, having no idea that she wasn't feeling shy, instead disgusted by his presence.
Lauri patted his shoulder, ''Concentrate on the match and show her how cool you are.''
''No problem, Captain.'' Sami said and took a glimpse of the Arya's representatives, ''This will be an easy victory, they are so pale and sickly-looking, they must be terrified.''
Lauri nodded and didn't feel any threat coming from them, especially not from the muscular youth, who at first glance seemed to be strongest, but he didn't feel any aura of any sort coming from him.
'Martial Soldier scum.' He thought the reason was because he was a Martial Soldier. After all, usually, people in that rank have no aura.
Petter turned his head towards the principal, who gave him thumbs up.
He nodded and stood up, ''Alright, it's time.
Lauri, Sami, Juuso, and Onni stood up and slowly walked up the stone stairs, which led to the arena.
''Ok, it's time,'' Patti said with a hurry; his heartbeat started racing, and he hoped that it would be at least a close fight so that they won't get completely humiliated.
Ichiro and the three young men stood up and walked up the stairs.
Once they were on top of the arena, they stopped around 10 meters away from Damio's fighters, whose endless confidence and arrogance were more than visible.
Hessu, Antti, and Antero seemed very small in their powerful presence. They are only Martial Leaders with no Battle of Cities experience, and now they have to fight a battle which was about the pride of Gensa and Arya.
Petter appeared in the middle of the arena and shouted, ''I am a referee for this match!''
It didn't come as a surprise to the audience, but it did for Patti and the rest.
'That seems... Unfair.' Ichiro thought to himself, and it seems that Damio wasn't going to have any risk of accidentally losing.
''The last team still standing will be the winners. Good luck, fighters.'' Petter jumped off the arena and shouted, ''FIGHT!''
Hessu, Antti, and Antero weren't prepared for the battle to fight so suddenly, but Damio's fighters were.
Juuso grinned and lunged towards the first person he saw, and it was Antti!
Antti paled and took a step back by instinct.
Hessu and Antero paled as well and were about to start retreating like Ichiro instructed.
But then, a blur passed them and appeared right in front of Antti.
Once the figure became clear, it was clear who it was. A young man with beautiful jet-black hair and a muscular body, whose aura alone brought safety to the young men.
Juuso didn't retreat after the sudden appearance of Ichiro. Instead, he unleashed his attack, which was a flying roundhouse kick.
He spun around in the air and unleashed his kick, which has countless times made his opponents wail in despair.
The audience erupted in cheers and expected to see another powerful display of strength by Juuso, but soon they became silent.
Ichiro grabbed the leg effortlessly and pulled Juuso closer effortlessly, who looked shocked and pale.
*SMACK!*
Ichiro's powerful and solid fist struck Juuso's face, and it was like the time had stopped.
Everyone's eyes slowly widened in shock as they saw Juuso's short body crashing onto the ground of the arena with a broken face.
His nose was broken, with his teeth leaving alongside a stream of blood.
Juuso managed to stay conscious for a few moments longer before his vision became dark and he became lifeless.
At first glance, he looked like he was dead, but his chest was still moving up and down, which told everything that was needed about his condition.
Patti, Hessu, Antti, and Antero looked at Ichiro's powerful back like he was a God Incarnation!
The audience was still shocked, and no one knew what they were supposed to do. Juuso, the third strongest in School of Flower, was defeated effortlessly!
Petter almost fell down on his butt after seeing the shocking scene, and he had a sinking feeling that this wasn't going as planned!
Lauri became very serious, and so did Sami, who went into his fighting stance.
Onni, on the other hand, was enraged after seeing his friend getting bashed with such ruthlessness.
Ichiro crouched and grabbed Juuso from his collar before throwing him out of the arena.
''You bastard!'' Onni screamed and was about to go after Ichiro but was stopped by Lauri, who managed to stop him in a rather straightforward manner.
''Hessu, Antti, and Antero attack the tall fellow, I will fight the captain and co-captain,'' Ichiro instructed and stood straight.
Hessu, Antti, and Antero nodded seriously and looked towards Onni, who looked enraged. They paled because they have to be the ones who will have to deal with his anger.
''Sami, he is strong— let's deal with him quick,'' Lauri said, and Sami nodded as a result.
''I will deal with him!'' Onni screamed and started running towards Ichiro without letting anyone object.
''Onni, fuck!'' Lauri screamed and quickly ran after him with Sami.
''Go!'' Ichiro shouted, and Hessu, Antti, and Antero bursted into motion and attacked Onni simultaneously.
''Fight me, coward!'' Onni screamed after getting pushed back by a surprise attack of three young men.
Lauri and Sami ran past them and made a pincer attack against Ichiro.
