“[color=aba000]...and I [i]think[/i] that’s everything.[/color]” Alexander handed the paper to the dolphin to check.

Dan took the offered papers and looked through them “Yep, these look fine to me. I got to say, I’m not surprised to see a guy like you signing up for Keijo” Dan said with a smugly raised eyebrow.

Alexander sighed “[color=aba000]You’re actually going to give me crap about this? Come on, it’s an entire gold coin, and all I have to do is play a round of this sport, why wouldn’t I sign up for that? Do I really look like that much of a greedy asshole?[/color]”

Dan just looked at him for a few seconds before responding with “You...you’re serious? Wow, okay, I have no idea how to respond to that.” He shook his head “Anyway, it might take awhile, since I think that most of our guests have already played an exhibition match, so there might not be anyone else willing to play, just as a heads up.”

“[color=aba000]And I don’t suppose I still get the coin if no one else signs up?[/color]”

“Nope”

“[color=aba000]Fuck![/color]”

Shion finally reached the sign-up location for Keijo. [color=00aeef]“This is the place where we sign up for that gold coin game, right?”[/color]

“Looks like you lucked out.”

Alexander sighed in relief “[color=aba000]That’s a relief. Yeah, this is the place. I’m just waiting for someone else to sign up for a 1v1 so I can play.[/color]”

Dan then held out a signup sheet to Shion.

[color=00aeef]”That’s perfect then.”[/color] Shion took the sheet and filled it out. [color=00aeef]”So when do you want to do this?”[/color]

“[color=aba000]As soon as possible[/color]” Alexander answered

“The arena can be ready in about a minute.” Dan supplied

 [color=00aeef]”Sounds good.”[/color] Shion sat down to wait. 

[hr]

Not long after that, both contestants found themselves in the arena, staring each other down as they waited for Dan to signal for the match to begin. Surprisingly, a fair amount of people were here already. ‘[color=aba000][i]Wow, they work fast. How did all these people find out about it anyway, were they just already here? It’s a shame that Lily’s in a bad mood, I feel like it would be nice to have her here.[/i][/color]’

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for a very special match; the battle of the sexes!” Dan began. “In this corner, we have the Bitter Bodyguard, the Salty Savior, the Knight in Sour Armor himself; Alexander Shields!!!”

“[color=aba000]Why do you sound like you want to eat me!?[/color]” Alexander yelled at Dan

“And in the other corner, we have… Who are you again?” Dan asked.

[color=00aeef]”That’s about the response I expected, yeah. Anyway, you ready to bash butts, Alexander?”[/color]

Alexander cracked his knuckles “[color=aba000]Oh, I’m going to do far more than bash butts[/color]” After saying that, he felt a sudden wave of killing intent from the audience

“Don’t worry folks, he’s not thinking about what you are, [i]trust[/i] me” At Dan’s words, the KI quickly vanished

“[color=aba000]What!? What did I do!?[/color]” After a few seconds of not getting an answer, he just signed and mumbled “[color=aba000]Girls...they make no fucking sense.[/color]” he cleared his throat and said “[color=aba000]Alright yeah, let’s get this started.[/color]”

“You heard them folks, it’s time to SLAM JAM!!!” Dan cried

With the word given, began pumping Beast and Reinforcement Magic through his body, making his fluffy ears appear “[color=aba000]This is going to feel so weird[/color]” he said before rushing at Shion”

“And Alexander is starting strong with a Rush Down! Despite his defensive skill set, he’s shown in the past to have a more aggressive fighting style. Let’s see how he applies it to Keijo!” Dan commented.

Shion stared down the rushing boy, standing still with her arms crossed until the last moment before using her Magnetism magic to launch herself into the air, flipping over his head and attacking with her butt when she landed. 

“A counter!” 

Alexander fell to his knees, but managed to keep from falling “[color=aba000]I knew it; this just feels so awkward. What I [i]want[/i] to do is just make a huge wall and use it to push you off, but I don’t think that’s going to work. It’s like I’ve got to unlearn how to fight.[/color]” Taking a deep breath, he stared at her for a few seconds, trying to come up with some kind of plan.

“Poor Alexander, I can feel his tart frustrations from here”

Alexander tuned him out as he got to work. He quickly applied a large half circle barrier around the ring behind him, and then began to slowly walk to Shion

[color=00aeef]”Unlearn how to fight? You’re totally wrong there. You need to use your whole body in a fight, especially controlling your movement and weight, which is all this is really.”[/color] With that, Shion ran toward Alexander and jumped to the side right before colliding with him, running along the wall with her Magic to get behind him before jumping off towards him butt-first for an attack. [color=00aeef]”He who hesitates is lost!”[/color]

Acting on instinct, Alexander threw up a quick barrier. Because he didn’t have enough time, Shion was able to break through it, but at the cost of her momentum. Acting quickly, Alexander rushed at her chest first, while also taking down the barrier wall

“And a spicy combo from Alexander. Despite his rather underwhelming start, he’s putting up a tough fight. Things are starting to heat up in here!”

Shion flew backwards and found herself barely still standing on the platform when she landed. [color=00aeef][i]Hmm… Is it worth it to keep this up? This isn’t the tournament yet, so…[/i][/color] With that thought in mind, she ran towards Alexander and slid as if to go under his legs, but used her magic to propel herself upwards at a right angle from her feet, slamming her chest into Alexander’s like a hammer.

“What an impact! What a crunchy attack from Alexande-”

“[color=aba000]ARE YOU PLANING ON EATING ME YOU-[/color]” Alexander’s rant at Dan was cut short when Shion crashed into him, sending him off the ring and into the water.

“...uh. We have a winner! And...maybe I should be more careful with my commentary in the future”

Alexander reached the edge of the pool “[color=aba000]Fucking dolphan.[/color]” He mumbled “[color=aba000]I swear, if I wake up at night to see you above me with a knife and fork, I [i]will[/i] stab your brains out![/color]”

“Epp! Understood”

[color=00aeef]”Whoa. Wasn’t expecting that to work. Oh well, not important.”[/color] She jumped off into the water and swam to the exit, shouting as she got there. [color=00aeef]”Good match, dude!”[/color]

Alexander held up a lazy hand in response “[color=aba000]Yeah, same![/color]” He got out of the water and shook himself off “[color=aba000]At least I’m getting paid for this.[/color]”
