Chapter 18-Wrestle

While walking through the bustling streets of Nast filled with laughter and yelling with the sun shining down on me while carrying bags filled with ingredients needed to make meals for a few days I turn into a closed alley and see two young men seemingly on the cusp of adulthood wrestling.

One had black hair and the other blonde.

I couldn't really make out more of their appearances from that brief moment since the black haired one flew into a double leg and slamed the other into the ground.

While on ground the blonde one put the black haired boy into a guillotine and locked his legs around his hips as to not allow him to escape.

'Quite impressive.'

While the blonde haired boy was tightening the guillotine around the black haired boy's head, the black haired boy started to stand up and to try and slam his back into the ground while he was still holding onto him.

The blonde haired boy unlocked his legs from the black haired one's hips and tried to go for an armbar, he started positioning his legs so that his knees would be bent around the other's arms.

His left leg went over the black haired one's neck while the other leg went just above his waist, and while this was happening he was gradually shifting the position of his hips as not to be right in front of the black haired boy but instead to lean on the left so he would be able to complete the armbar and break the other's arm.

The blonde haired one had managed to trap the black haired one's arms and elbows between his knees and just as he was about to grab his arm and break it he saw something from the periphery of his vision.

It was a figure!

On the cusp of defeating his opponent he instead just let go and looked at the figure, the figure was dressed similarly as the detectives of the Enforcers were.vThe figure wore a black short top hat along with a black coat with an ordinary black suit underneath.

His heart sank into his throat.

The other boy confused why the blonde haired one let go of his victory over him and looked at him.

Just as he was about to speak up he aaw the petrified expression of the other and suddenly had a bad premonition. He followed the blonde's gaze and saw a figure dressed like a detective.

Instinctively he took a step back with his mouth wide open, he clenched his fists and his pupils dialated.

Now that Urvashi had gotten a good look of the two boys he began analyzing their appearence.

The black haired one had bright green eyes along with a slim face and high cheekbones, he was hearing a torn up with shirt along with dirty pants.

The blonde one also had green eyes but instead of the bright green like the other's they were more hazel. He was not as skinny as the other but he was still on the skinnier side. He wore similar clothes as the black haired one.

Thinking of what to do Urvashi sudenly had a mischievous idea. It was to pretend to be an Enforcer!

That was because ever since brawls on the streets were prohibited a few years back the Enforcers were allowed to beat up anyone they saw fight. To a degree of course.

Coughing lighly so he could adjust his voice to sound scarier Urvashi began speaking.

"Do you two idiots have any idea what you're doing?"

Their expression became even more horrified.

Seeing this Urvashi suddenly had to look away and cover his mouth with a hand as to not laugh.

But it didn't take him long to regain his composure.

Seeing as the blonde one was about to open his mouth Urvashi stopped him with a single raise of his hand.

The blonde boy seeing this backed up and dropped his gaze to the floor.

The black haired one did just about the same thing.

"Now now, i wonder how long it's been since i caught people doing something as dumb as this."

Urvashi continued.

"I've been yearning." Urvashi put his hands up to his chin immitating a boxer's stance "yearning to beat up someone dumb enough to break rules in my presence without suffering any consequences."

Having said this he broke out in a laugh. He just couldn't take it anymore after seeing their faces.

The two boys hearing his words were on the verge of crying. They missunderstood his laugh and though a maniac was about to hand them a beating. And fighting back was out of the question if they didn't want to spend the rest of their lives in a prison.

"Y-You imbecile i knew this would happen. How many times have i told you we should do this somewhere else." The black haired boy said to the blonde one.

The blonde one meanwhile was looking at Urvashi with a vacant expression, it was unclear if he even heard the other one.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Seeing as he wasn't about to reply he smacked him on the head.

This was enough to 'wake him up' and he almost immeadialy slapped the black haired one.

"O-Officer it was all his fault he just attacked me out nowhere." The blonde one started pleading.

Hearing this the black haired one looked at him with a betrayed expression.

"That's not true officer! We are just practing our wrestling."

'Wow. How cold. He betrayed him without a moment's hesitation.'

"Don't listen to this lunatic officer!"

"You gotta believe me officer."

"It doesn't matter to me one bit who started it or why. I just know both of you sre leaving this place beat up." Urvashi spoke up, but with reluctance. He wasn't sure if he should keep up the act anymore. Who knows what lies could be said, and if what the black haired one said was true how much longer would their relationship last.

Both of their nearly fell on the ground hearing this, but before they would get on their knees and start begging Urvashi spoke up again.

"I'm just messing with you. I'm not an Enforcer."

Upon hearing this they had an expression that suggested they were extremely shocked and angry at the same time, but most of all relief was written across their faces.

"You, you swine." The blonde one said as broke out into laugher.

"I really though that was it." He continued.

The blaxk haired one meanwhile said.

"That's not right man, it just isn't."

"Yeah, you are right. I was out of line." Urvashi said before continuing.

"So let's go and eat something, i'll pay."

Hearing this their eyes shone brighly and they agreed.

---

After eating Urvashi spoke to the two boys.

"So how old are you anyway."

"We're both 17." The blonde one spoke up.

"Alright, but before i ask anything else can you tell me your names." Urvashu replied.

"Raisa." The blonde one spoke up.

"Samo." The black haired one spoke up.

"Alright Raisa and Samo why were you wrestling back there?"

"I already told you, we were practicing. Not what this liar said." Samo replied.

Hearing this Raisa apologized to him but Samo still remained mad.

"Alright, why were you practicing?"

"I want to be a proffesional wrestler." Samo replied again.

And not long after him Raisa spoke up.

"Yeah, me too."

"I have to say I'm very impressed. I didn't see much but with wrestling like that I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you become champions." Urvashi said.

Upon hearing this their faces softened and they just thanked Urvashi.

"Oh and by the way what's your name?" Raisa spoke up.

"Urvashi, Urvashi Sauvageon."

"Well Urvashi we'll get going we need to return to our homes, I know I do atleast." Samo said.

"Alright, be safe." Urvashi replied.

"You too." Both of them spoke up.

After seeing off the two wrestlers Urvashi went on his way back home, after all he still needed to keep an eye out on Sharron.

He hadn't gone out much during these past few days that she stayed at his place. Matter of fact this is really the first time he's been outside of his apartment, apart from a couple of times when he went out just to inhale some fresh air but nothing past that.

These few days were not bad at all when look back on it, I've been training my output whenever I could and I've gone from a modest 1% to 2.5%.

Meaning that i still couldn't manage to use a single move from Fool's Gambit but it was an improvement.

Yes, i had yet to develop 5th Rank abilities after all this time but I can't really stress over that.

Upon returning to my apartment i saw Sharron just laying down on the couch looking at me.

"So what did you buy?"

Handing her the bags i said.

"Have a look for yourself."

As she was going through the bags I continued.

"How's that wound anyway?"

"It's... mostly healed. Well what can i say, a no rank like you wouldn't understand."

"Oh so that means you'll leave soon." I said while ignoring her insults.

After a while she simply confirmed.

"How about another round of cards" she asked.

And having nothing better to do i agreed.
