Chapter 21 - The Battle Begins
1195 Words
After a while Jin Kazama's group and several other prisoners had finished, they were still waiting for the appearance of the Cerberus masked man.
Just waiting for a few minutes, the figure of the man in the Cerberus mask appeared in front of everyone.
“Looks like everyone here has finished their discussion with your group.”
“Alright, now is the time for me to tell the rules of this individual battle to all of you.”
The man in the Cerberus mask walked towards the prisoners.
"The first rule is not to kill your opponent."
The masked man said that while approaching Rubuck's group.
"The second rule is that you can't use firearms, but that's an exception if you have that kind of ability."
The masked man said in a firm tone as he approached Jin Kazama's group.
It was as if he was saying that Jin Kazama's group had similar abilities.
“The final rule is that the participants cannot be substituted for another person.”
Then the man in the Cerberus mask walked towards the group of prisoners led by the burly man with long diagonal strokes on his eyelids.
It was as if the man in the Cerberus mask was implying to them that they shouldn't think about substitutions.
Looking at the group of prisoners there, Jin Kazama and the others felt an aura that was extremely fierce and fierce as if they had been soaking in the battlefield for a long time.
Even so, everyone paid more attention to the little girl who was on the group leader's shoulders.
The little girl has blue hair in her cute dress.
“Hey Rachel, looks like you can make friends with a kid your age.”
Jin Kazama spoke in a teasing tone, towards Rachel who was beside him.
"I told you, I'm not a child."
Rachel said it in annoyance while kicking Jin Kazama's shin.
“Perhaps among you, there are some people who think how many times you must fight with the enemy.”
The man in the Cerberus mask then floated above them all.
“Don't worry, you don't have to worry about fighting all the time.
“Since this individual fight is a one-off fight, if you lose then there is no rematch even if both sides agree.”
"Well, now it's time for you to see who will compete."
The man in the Cerberus mask raised his hand.
Then a large virtual screen lit up above the man in the Cerberus mask.

“Since one group consists of 10 prisoners, individual battles will be held for 10 days.”
"So, do any of you want to ask me something before we start today's battle?."
The man in the Cerberus mask asked the prisoners who were here.
“Why can't we still use our points? is there some kind of error in your system?.”
A man from the Z-OO group asked the man in the Cerberus mask.
After hearing that person's words, the other prisoners looked at him.
When he saw that he himself became the focus of attention, he immediately broke into a cold sweat.
“Ah I see… do you want to buy another prisoner's information to get a chance to win?.”
"But it's a shame that in this first battle your points still can't be used, if today's battle is over then from then on you can use the points."
The man in the Cerberus mask snapped his fingers understanding what the prisoner wanted to do.
“Is there anything more to ask?.”
The masked man turned to the other prisoners.
After a moment of making sure no one asked again, he then disappeared from their sight.
Then the man in the Cerberus mask appeared on the large virtual screen above them.
"Since no one else is asking, the first fight of Ricky from D-H& vs Makoa from Z-OO begins."
After the man in the Cerberus mask said that, the ground in front of them all shook.
Then the ground in front of them opened like a huge gate, then a large arena rose from below and appeared before the prisoners.
“What a huge arena!.”
Jin Kazama and the other prisoners exclaimed in shock upon seeing the scene before them.
“Are you surprised to see this? hahaha, I really like people's expressions when they are surprised.”
"For the prisoners on the list, please go up to the arena."
The Cerberus masked man chuckled at the prisoners' expressions and reminded the prisoners to hurry up to the arena.
“Rachel, I hope you don't act recklessly on the arena. I hope you can win this battle.”
Jin Kazama looked at Rachel seriously.
"Who do you think you're talking to? of course I will win this battle with ease.”
Rachel said annoyed that Jin Kazama ordered her, but even so Rachel didn't reject what Jin said.
Because he himself has never lost even once to others.
Rachel walked up to the arena with her smug little body.
When Rachel walked up to the arena, her battle opponent also climbed the arena.
On top of the arena, the prisoners were shocked to see who would be fighting.
It was a little girl wearing a white gothic lolita dress and a white beret that covered her short silver hair.
And a little girl with short blue hair who was the same height as Rachel.
“Oh my, have the people going crazy? exile children like them in this prison of Tartarus.”
A male prisoner who was 1.8 meters tall and had long black hair said in confusion.
“Sis, aren't you aware that the little boy previously didn't exist at all among the new prisoners?.”
The female prisoner beside her reminded her sister while pointing at Rachel.
This woman has a tall body and smooth stature with long white hair, she is a member of the Rubuck group.
"If you think about it, it's true, there's no way that a unique prisoner like that little girl didn't even see her."
A male prisoner who is 1.8 meters tall and has long black hair answered his sister's question in confusion.
On the other hand, the G-BF group.
"Kyousuke, I didn't expect that little lady Tsukiyo's opponent was also a child her age."
A male prisoner who had an ear wound said to their group leader.
“Wouldn't this be an easy battle for him?.”
A burly male prisoner asked all of them happily.
"I don't know Fernando, I'm not so sure. Because I sensed a dangerous aura from that little girl.”
The answer to their leader named Kyousuke had diagonal scratches on his eyelids.
“Wouldn't it be dangerous for little miss Tsukiyo if what you said was true?.”
A female prisoner with short purple hair asked in a worried tone.
“Yes Evie, that's why I hope Tsukiyo doesn't push himself.”
Kyousuke with worried eyes looked towards the arena.
