Era of Authority

12 Another Trouble

[Back on Poseidon]

After Greg caught up with the ship he jumped up into the board.

When his legs touched the ship's floor he looked around to make sure nobody saw him jumping up from the water.

After he looked around he walked back where he was pulled inside the ocean. When he arrived, he saw that on the table the food and drink he had ordered was there.

After he sat down he started to eat. Just as he was about to start his meal he heard a voice from behind, "So you were here. We didn't know where you dissapeared to"

As he turned around he saw Dorothy and Isla behind him. The one who said that was the former.

"Ah I didn't want to disturb your chitchat with those men so I decided to come here. But know that you are here do you ladies want to take a seat?" asked Greg with a smile while pointing at the two chairs in front of him.

Seeing his handsome smile both Isla and Dorothy blushed a little. After a while Dorothy said, "If you don't mind then we sit here." And with that they sat down next to him.

After they sat down, a waiter came to them and asked "Well, how can I help to you ladies?

"Give me please your best food on the menu with the most delicious salad. Oh and please bring some champagne." said Isla without the slightest hesitation.

"I understood, and you young lady?" Turned the waiter to Dorothy.

"I think I will try some nice soup.... no, some steak..ah no! This! I want some pasta! Ah nevermind. Bring me the same as my sister please!"

"I-I see, I will bring your orders in a minute."

After the waiter went away the two looked at each other and smiled. When they turned to Greg they saw that he was looking at them with a confused face.

"What? Something is wrong?"

"Ah. Nothing. Just the way you order something so expensive without the slightest hesitation. It suprised me a little."

"Well, they said we don't have to pay, so we just live with the chance."

"Ah I see."

After a while later they got their food and started to eat. They talked about a lot of things like where they came from, what they like and how did they get into this new school.

When they finished eating they stood up to go inside, but as Greg turned around he clashed with someone.

*Splash!*

"What the hell?? Can't you see, you peace of sh*t!?" Shouted a teenager in a nice white suit, which got a huge black stain in the middle of his chest.

"William? What are you doing here?" Asked Isla somewhat suprised.

"Isla? Dorothy? I should ask the same question. But before that", and he turned his gaze back to Greg" You! What will you do now, ha? You ruined my night dress and it wasn't a cheap one."

"Um...Well, I'm sorry, but I don't have money with me."

While Greg said that, a guy behind William, stepped next to him and whispered something into his ear.

"Ohhh? He is poor? And an orphan on top of it? Hehehe! What a joke. Hey trash! Because you made me look like this I challange you into fighting."

"William, we know you can do a lot of things but you will step the line with this fight." Said Isla trying to help Greg.

"Ohh? So you don't know? This academy isn't an ordinary one. I won't tell you beforehand, but I can tell you that fighting there will be as important as learning."

"Huh? Nobody told us anything about the academy, so how can you?" Asked Dorothy.

"Well this is why your family is the second and not the first. We have information that's how it goes." answered William with a mocking smile.

"You--" Isla was about to say something, when Greg stopped her and stepped forward.

"I don't want to see a conflict to start between you because of me, so I will accept your challenge. But where do you want to fight?"

"Hehe. So it seems you know it well how to behave. Well then, follow me!" And with that he turned around and started to walk.

While they walked Isla walked next to Greg and asked, "Are you sure about it? Do you even know about him?"

"Yeah. His name is William Miller, born in Germany, 18 years old and the son of the richest man alive, also known The Strongest Giant. Their family is not only rich and has influence, but they know how to fight."

"You knew this, but you accepted his provocation?" asked Dorothy from the other side.

"Yeah, it's because I promised something very important to myself." Replied Greg with a serious face that made Isla and Dorothy somewhat shocked.

After walking a while they arrived into an arena which was 100 meters long and wide.

Greg and William walked up, while Isla, Dorothy and the unknown guy walked up into the spectators place.

After the two stood opposite of each other William took off his suit and threw it away.

His thin yet muscular body was on full display. He started to warm up with some stretching while saying, "So now. While we are here and you were the one who got challenged, I give you the choice to set the rules."

"Okay then, Let's see. Hmm...."

While Greg was thinking about the rules Dorothy asked from Isla, "Sis, What are the odds? Does he even have any chance to win against William?"

"I don't know. William was unbeatable since young age. He is a really talented fighter. But I feel Greg will win somehow."

"Hahaha, you really think that trash will win? Haha! What a joke! William will put him next to death's door as I know him." suddenly the strange guy spoke up.

Dorothy turned around and asked him "Thomas, I knew that you and William are good old friends, but why is it good for you to bully a weaker one?"

"Ohhh? We aren't bullying. We just collecting our debts. He ruined his belongings, so we can challange him no matter what. Didn't you read the information, which was in your room?" Liam said in a sarcastic tone.

After hearing this they couldn't say anything, so the two turned back and listened what rules will Greg choose.

Greg looking around and seeing the arena was not so small he asked William, "What about sword fight? Can you handle one?"

"Boy, My family is the best in the fighting field. And it includes a lot of area. Sword fight is one of them. So the question is not that, if I can use a sword or not, but if you can or not?"

"Nice then it's settled. We will fight with wooden swords and the winner is the one who can hit the other on his head or stab on the left side of his chest where the heart is."

"Nice, then with the rules set let me talk about the rewards. If I win you must pay twice my suit's price."

"And what will happen if I win?"

"Oh, If you are so confident in your ability to win, then I will make one thing you want. But, Haha, that's just a nice dream, which won't come true."

"Okay, deal."

"Hmm...Interesting. But whatever."

*SNAP*

William snapped his fingers and a man in black suit with a sunglass appeared holding two wooden swords.

He gave one to William, while throwing the other one to Greg. After picking it up he held it in front of him. William did the same while taking out a coin. "I will throw it up and when it touches the ground the fight begins, understood?"

"Yes"

"Well then." With that William threw the coin up.

When it couldn't fly further, it halted in the air and started to fell down.

And when it touched the ground with a metallic sound the fight began...
