Vol.2 Ch.74: 30F - Battle x Gamble (6)

30F - Battle x Gamble (6): The story picks up, where it ended in the previous chapter. The participants for the last round are announced along with the new rule about all-inning with a 3000k bonus.

Considering all odds, both Koon and Leesoo come to the conclusion, that the match between Anak and Ran won't end with both of them passing, so it's a 50:50 betting chance. While Koon's decision is unknown, Leesoo decides to put his faith into Anak and all-ins the rest of the money on her.

In a dark corridor, the silhouette of a man with glowing green eyes says to himself: "Finally, is it my turn to shine?". As the scene skips to the arena he's revealed to be Parakewl. His sudden appearance makes both Koon and Leesoo uneasy, as the latter starts to wonder if Rak is somewhere close by as well. As usual, he taunts everyone at first, but as the match begins, he's the first to run for his life.

While chaos breaks out everywhere, the participants in the group with Ran and Anak still haven't moved an inch. While both parties are just glaring at each other, Wangnan asks Vlador, who he thinks will win that match. Vlador vaguely replies, that while Anak is stronger in the terms of raw power, Ran's techniques may yet give him the edge he needs in this kind of battle.

After a while, Ran asks Io to change the rules. On demand of both the other participants and the 'audience', Punk tells him via his communicator to comply. As of now the rules for the final match are:


 * a one on one battle between Ran and Anak with only possible one victor,

After both sides agree on the new rules, Anak mocks him for his overconfidence asking if he'll be using some tricks like last time. After telling her that this time he'll be going all-out, Ran starts chewing his own lightning. Anak starts with a premature attack, before Ran manages to swallow, sending him flying, what instantly puts her on top of Ran's bothersome list. Standing up fully charged, with electric currents spiking his hair and a spot appearing under his right eye, Ran tells Anak that she'll regret making this opportunity for him to fight with full force. He immediately discharges a powerful wave of lightning, creating a fissure by ripping a piece of the arena away. Anak dodges the attack by jumping in the air, but is hit from behind by an even more powerful attack.
 * the 6 remaining participants can compete for the 2 remaining plug slots.

In the meantime in Viole's room, the stranger sitting on his bed introduces himself as Beta, who says he's the same as him, a living weapon.

SIU's Afterword
If your hair stands up, you become stronger.

I dunno why, but that happens with all the famous characters in animes.

But the reason Ran's are standing up like that is because of the electricity flowing through his body haha, the fight between Ran and Anak will be a bit different from what you have seen before, because of how their bloodline is quite special; it's quite hard to draw it too.

Take it easy guys.. the individual matches will be finished after those to and some unanswered questions will finally be answered.

Well then, I hope that you will anticipate the next week's chapter.
