Time- 15:28

Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Air Space

One after the other, those who were moved by Wyatt’s speech ‘You are the hope of the South’ began to gather at the edge of the void at the Sky Blossom City’s air space to answer the question Wyatt ended his speech with, ‘Who is the Hope of the South?’ They all had interpreted Wyatt’s speech in their way and now they were here to give their answer to his question. It did not take long for these groups to form factions based on their interpretation of the speech and their answer to it. With the difference of opinion, the tension in the atmosphere soared. And amidst these factions, one person stood alone, Jaya Keith.

Jaya ignored Gloria and instead focused on the people with threatening auras among crowd that managed to awaken her innate viltronian fighting instinct that she did not know existed within her until today. She felt a sense of excitement. She wanted to just rush into the crowd and conquer them all. Her mind said, ‘That’s suicide’ but her heart said, ‘Bring it on.’ The crowd also noticed the change in Jaya. Especially those that were eyed by her. They felt a sense of trepidation from her. They could not help but lift their brow as the person they considered prey turned out to be a cornered predator. Seeing Jaya ignore her, Gloria was pissed. She could not believe that some random country hick dared to ignore her in front of her clique. This was the highest level of disrespect anyone had ever shown her. Gloria could not stomach it, she had to teach the country girl a lesson, regardless of the crowd’s opinion.

“How dare you?” yelled Gloria as she threw her ‘Shadow Fang’ aiming at Jaya’s ample chest. Even in rage, she did not forget the source of her initial shame. However, to her surprise, the knife that cut through the air and reached its target at insane speed bounced off Jaya’s body suit causing her bountiful fun bags to giggle a little. Similar to the ripples on the surface of a lake when a pebble’s thrown into it.

Seeing this scene, Gloria’s eyes widened while the onlookers could not help but swallow their saliva. Following this some unknown hero in the crowd yelled, “Girl Fight!” with the hero’s reminder and lead, the crowd began to chant, “Girl Fight!” ” Girl Fight!” “Girl Fight!” ” Girl Fight!” “Cheap shot,” Jaya wasn’t fazed by this in the slightest. Rather she stood tall with her chest puffed out. The first lesson she learned in her training was to stop being conscious of her body in the middle of a fight as it would cost her life. She had to be alive to worry about her purity. “Deviants!” Aria uttered seeing the crowd’s reaction. She almost lost it when she heard someone ask if they had recorded the scene. Not everyone was lucky enough to witness the majesty of Jaya’s twin peak. Influenced by the exaggerated reaction of their fellows they could not help but blame themselves for missing it. “JJ, I don’t care what you do but help me escort the civilian back to safety,” Aria asked her cousin to help her rescue Jaya. Listening to Aria’s words, the crowd cheering for a girl fight paused and focused their attention on JJ waiting for his answer. As the leader of the biggest faction present his word held a lot of weight compared to Aria who was an outcast because of the Southern Watch armor she donned. Even though JJ was a royal, he was here as one of them, unlike Aria. “Captain Aria is right. I don’t think there is a need for us to harm a civilian in our quest,” It wasn’t JJ who spoke up but a gingerhead female. She led a faction of descent size most importantly all of her faction members were girls, beautiful girls. “Adriane, stay out of this. That cow is mine,” Gloria warned the red-headed girl only to be ignored by her. Gloria was pissed but she did not dare to attack Adriane. Adriane walked toward Jaya, planning to take her under her faction protection but Cervos walked out of the crowd and blocked her path saying, “You heard her, stay out of this.” Adriane was not afraid of Cervos but noticing that his faction was almost three times hers, she hesitated worrying for the safety of her followers. But as the leader of her faction, she chose to stick to their creed otherwise there would be no point for them to gather under a common belief. Therefore, she fearlessly locked eyes with Corvos and warned, “Step aside, or I will make you.” Listening to their leader, Adriane’s followers prepared for a full-on battle. Meanwhile, Corvos stared into her eyes, and with a creepy smile he said, “Oh, I would like to see how you will make me.” Seeing that the crowd was about to rip themselves apart even before they gave Wyatt a chance, Aria shook her head and nudged JJ to speak up and put an end to it. Forced by his cousin, JJ had no choice but to speak up.

*Ahem* JJ cleared his throat aloud and immediately became the center of everyone’s attention. With everyone’s attention on him, he said, “Cervos, chill.” Then turning to look at Adriane he said, “You too, Ms Adriane.” “I am not stepping back until I make sure the civilian is safe,” Adriane declared to which Cervos announced, “I would like you to try.”

“Shut the fuck up, you two,” JJ suddenly snapped at Adriane and Cervos only to instantly become the target of their rage. Ignoring their stares, JJ announced, “The crowd has spoken: Girl Fight!” With his words, the crowd regardless of their faction cheered chanting, “Girl Fight!” “Girl Fight!” “Girl Fight!” “Girl Fight!” “Standard street rules applied, now fight!” JJ announced staring at Gloria and Jaya. Listening to him the Crowd moved forming a ring with Gloria and Jaya in the center. It was because JJ was such a prodigal royal, he had such a die-hard following among his age group despite his age. Aria was shocked by her cousin’s action, forgetting their surroundings she instinctively twisted his ear asking, “Have you gone insane?” However, it was too late. The ring was set, the players were ready, and the crowd was beyond control.

Just then, a scarlet butterfly monster appeared in the makeshift ring created by the crowd from nowhere, no one seemed to notice its presence until it landed on Jaya’s shoulder. Jaya did not attack the butterfly monster instead she smiled ear to ear and looked at it endearingly…..
