Chapter 16

"Hm, as expected... Young people these days like to make things like this." Tiara spoke as she watched Lubius, who was taking a long time to find a place that looked good as a background and also didn't have many people passing by. Basically, the match was going to start in about an hour, so it wasn't strange for people to start arriving around the stadium.

Lubius himself had just finished installing the camera and was currently being tidied up by his brother to make it look even more neat and handsome. He also used a wireless mic that his older sister had just bought for him. The camera he used was his family's camera. It was a little old, but it was enough to record well. With the circumstances he had, Lubius could only use what he had.

"Yeah, I grew up seeing all kinds of things from this video sharing website. So it's not strange that I'm interested in making the same thing that I've been seeing." Lubius replied to Tiara's words.

Of course, Lubius had seen and remembered. How people spoke in the video and also how sports fans usually spoke both in this world and in his past life.

Sure enough, Lubius had seen and remembered. How people spoke in the video and also how sports fans usually spoke both in this world and in his past life. He had already thought and written down what he would say. From the introduction, to the opening, to talking about how this was his first time watching a sport called Arena live in a stadium with his older sister and her friend.

Lubius didn't have much experience speaking and being recorded like this. He was also in a public place so he could see people glancing at him. Which surprisingly added to the tension he felt when he was about to speak. Besides, speaking from memory was not as easy as he expected, sometimes he forgot what he was saying plus he sometimes stammered when he said something.

As an audience member, Lubius always felt that it was better not to seem too enthusiastic, so he tried to act like himself, while at the same time speaking more clearly and somewhat louder so that his voice could be easily heard on the recording. He didn't realize that he was speaking while trying to keep all these things in his mind. It turned out to be quite exhausting.

In the end, it took some time for Lubius to get used to speaking properly and in accordance with what he envisioned. This happened after he saw the mistakes he made directly from the video he had just recorded. He learned from that before fixing anything that he felt wasn't good when he recorded it or anything that he felt he could still improve.

“Hah…” Lubius sighed as he finished tidying up the set of cameras he had installed and looked at the latest footage he had. You could say the footage he had was pretty good, right? For a beginner... Lubius could only hope so. He couldn't just trust his older sister Nadia because there was a possibility that she had a biased opinion of him.

“Here… Good work.” Nadia also gave Lubius some bottled water, which he immediately gulped down in one gulp because he also felt that his throat was not used to talking so much and for so long.

“Hah… I didn't expect it to be this difficult." Libius commented as he capped the bottle he had just drunk. Basically, he still wanted to take it until it felt better. However, it was time for them to enter the stadium.

In the end, the video was a brief introduction of himself and a preliminary talk about the video he made, which was Lubius' first time watching a live Arena match in a stadium. He also talked about the Arena rules that he knew and ended by saying that he was looking forward to what he was going to experience.

“What do you think?” Lubius asked Tiara as the three of them passed through the gate to enter the corner of the stadium where they had bought their seats.

"To be honest, it's not bad and it's nothing special. Just ordinary... But in my opinion... Still enough for a young lady. I think our girl will like it.” Tiara replied while again saying that the girl she knew was most likely an athlete from their club.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

“Is that so… Well, this is a new learning experience.”

"Geez, why don't you believe what I say, but you are satisfied with Tiara's comments..." Nadia commented as they also took advantage of buying drinks and food before walking to their assigned seats.

Lubius also realized that the place they were passing through was not as crowded as he had expected and everything that was taken care of happened quite quickly. It didn't take him long to realize that they had passed through the men's gate and entered the men-only corner of the stadium. Then it was the same as what happened at the shopping place Lubius had just visited this noon.

Only it seemed that this corner of the men-only stadium was not as strict as the mall because they allowed women who were not family members to enter as long as they had permission from their families and also did not have a criminal record against men. And it would be even easier if they were married women like Tiara.

“Oh…” Lubius was impressed when he managed to get inside the stadium, he could see a futuristic stadium with an oval-shaped field that was very spacious. The field in the center of the stadium somehow reminded him of movies where Roman gladiators fought each other or lions and the like.

Lubius could also see in the corner of the stadium where the spectators wearing the home team's kit were more lively and energetic than in his own corner. Even so, it was still a far cry from the ultras of the football supporters of his past life.

"The match between the two teams will begin in ten minutes. The protective shield will be activated, please sit quietly."

Lubius could hear the announcement and not long after that he could see that between the field and the spectator seats a transparent blue light was emitted. It seemed to take almost two minutes for the light to cover the entire stadium.

After that, the announcer introduced the ladies who were also players of this match. From the knowledge Lubius gained from Tiara and Nadia who briefly explained about the Arena, there were three rounds in one match.

And each round has different players and different match types. The first round is a one-on-one match on a field of the host's choosing, then the second round is a two-on-two match, before finally returning to a one-on-one match on a neutral field. You could say the first round was an advantage given to the hosts.

Then the match was usually a battle using Eron's abilities with the requirement that the players must put thirty percent of their capacity into a uniform specially made to provide protection to the players. Of course, that was just a condition so the player could have given their uniform more protection such as fifty percent, which of course reduced their Eron's capacity to attack as well.

From the knowledge Lubius had gained, most of the players in the Arena in this top league called the Championship League were women with Eron of rank A capacity.

“Oh, this is amazing.” Lubius commented as he watched the field in the center of the stadium slowly change. From an empty field to a fantasy field with trees and high hills. Something that gives the impression of a field that provides an advantage for players who use abilities related to the soil or the like.

Lubius could also see that there were many screens in the stadium, to bring the match even closer. He could see on those screens the two women wearing different uniforms. However, the uniforms they had were interesting because they were like the ones he had seen at the sports bar with Tiara and Nadia.

They basically wore a bodysuit that seemed to cling to their skin and was simple before putting on any armor they liked. One of the girls even wore a bikini armor that displayed her breasts and ass without any shame at all. It was basically because their bodies like that highlighted that they had extraordinary Eron capacity.

And Lubius could see that the woman was carrying a weapon that looked like a dagger made of glass that was as red as blood, so Lubius couldn't help but focus on the woman who moved quickly when the match started. As Lubius knew, Eron could strengthen and also make people move very fast so it wasn't strange for this to happen. What surprised him was that the speed at which they did it was much faster than he expected. Before then he could see something like a fantasy happening in front of him.

When the dagger made of red shard emitted a flame that even Lubius felt was not a fireball. It was huge and looked like a storm. Which then seemed to be held back by a defense ability from another participant using dirt.

It was like seeing an amazing battle from a movie made for hundreds of millions of dollars or an anime made by an amazing studio. And Lubius could feel it firsthand...

Lubius could hear the tremendous sound of the collision of the fire attack with the ground. He could also feel the strong wind from the collision even though he was sitting far away from the field. Somehow he could feel the heat of the fire.

“It was amazing… I wish I could do something like that too…” Lubius could only speak like that with a sparkling gaze and also a jealous tone of voice from his mouth.
