10 - Part E:

Time to hit the arcade.

We went to the arcade called "Time for Fun" which is located at the fourth floor. As we arrive, Lokki, Roc, Maple and Zack are already there.

"Woah Linel! What's with the harem party?"

Lokki greeted us jokingly.

"What harem party?"

I reacted.

"Wren, Aeris, Ace and Louise, the head maidbot of course!"

Oh, he means that...

Wait!

"Uh Louise?"

I asked the additional person.

"What is it young master?"

She responded.

"Why are you here?"

"Because master has ordered me to accompany you young master."

So she won't stop following me till gramps say so.

Oh well...

"I see..."

I said my usual.

"Well then! Let's wait for Kana and Mathias to show up before having some fun."

Lokki told everyone.

After few minutes, Kana and Mathias have arrived.

We started having some fun.

The two gun freaks (Roc and Maple) competed with each other at Time Panic. Because of their competitiveness, we didn't get a chance to play. We decided to leave them alone and play something else.

While we were strolling around, we spotted the air hockey table. Zack who saw that became hyper and tell everyone we should play it. Zack suggestion is a good idea since air hockey is fun to play and everyone could take turns competing with each other. The only problem is that class 3 who's also currently in this arcade is monopolizing it. We decided to come back later once they're done. So we decide to play with the punching game first.

Me, Zack, Lokki, Mathias, Ace and Wren decided to have a competition with each other on who's the strongest and who's the weakest. Those who end up becoming the weakest will get some kind of punishment. Since Aeris and Kana are the weakest link when it comes to physical strength, they decided to sit this one out and watch us.

First one to go is Zack.

"Dude! Watch this!"

I'm pretty sure Zack is really strong since he could carry that giant Booster Sword on his own.

Pak*

Zack executes a head butt instead of punching the pad. I forgot that Zack is crazy.

The strength gauge slowly goes up until it reaches 197. By the way, the maximum is 300.

"Ha ha ha! Dude! That was awesome!"

Yup an awesome head butt alright! I bet anyone who receives that head butt will experience an instant K.O.

"It's my turn huh."

As Ace said in a cool manner and takes the stage.

Ace is good at handling bladed weapons while doing acrobat at the same time. I wonder about her punching strength.

Ace took up a martial arts stance and gets ready to punch the pad.

Bam*

She executed the punch skillfully and waits for the gauge to go up.

After few seconds, the gauge reaches 203.

I guess she's strong for a girl.

Ace backs away from the machine and Mathias took the stage.

"Be sure to watch me my darlings."

Mathias said in a flirting manner and approaches the machine closely.

Mathias is the balance type as I remember so I'm pretty sure he's strong.

Pak*

Instead of punching the pad normally, he executes a hard cold slap.

Alright! That's so freaking weird.

The gauge slowly fills up and reaches a perfect 200.

I wonder if that's a coincidence or Mathias intentionally did that.

Next is Lokki.

If I remember correctly, Lokki is the normal type when it comes to strength judging by his performance in Melee Training.

Lokki put a stance like he's intending to do a cork screw punch.

Bam*

He executes it successfully and the gauge slowly fills up until it reaches 123.

That's the weakest cork screw I have ever seen.

"Alright I'm up!"

I said and took the stage.

I'm pretty confident with my strength since I've been doing martial arts training since I was a kid.

I put on a fighting stance and get ready to punch.

Woosh*

As I punch the pad, I missed because someone uses brainwave manipulation to move the thing forward before my fist makes a direct hit.

I know who the culprit is.

"Alright Lokki what's the big idea?"

I accused the culprit.

"Hey that wasn't me!"

Although Lokki try his best to deny it, he was grinning which gave it off.

He wants to play dirty huh.

Have it your way then!

I took up a fighting stance and to try again.

I synthesize a small compress air bubble on my fist before making a direct hit.

Pak* Woosh*

Even though Lokki used brainwave manipulation to move the pad again, I was still able to hit it using the explosion of the air bubble.

The gauge fills up quicky till it reaches 300.

"Hey! That's cheating!"

Lokki complained.

"Cheating? What are you talking about?"

I played dumb.

"I saw you use atomic synthesis back there!"

Lokki was trying to point it out.

The only way to convince Lokki if everyone plays dumb.

Time to test our so-called unity.

"Really? I can't remember? How about you guys, did you see me use atomic synthesis?"

"No dude!" (Zack)

"I didn't see anything thing." (Ace)

"No my darling." (Mathias)

"No." (Kana)

"Hmph! Only losers will step that low! So no!" (Wren)

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention so I don't really know." (Aeris)

Good job everyone! This is our first step to unity.

"Ah whatever you guys!"

Lokki reluctantly accepted it.

Suddenly, I heard a bunch of people talking behind our backs.

"Freaks of nature!"

"Show offs!"

What's their problem?

I look at my classmates to see if they heard them and it looks like they did. They silently stare at them til they buzz off.

Problem solve I guess.

We resume our game.

Now it's Wren's turn.

She approaches the punching machine and quickly punch the pad.

Bam*

The gauge quickly fills up till it reaches 300.

Well, that was expected.

And the loser is Lokki.

As for his punishment, we made him got to the karaoke machine and make him sing one of Luna's songs with feelings while everyone takes a video of him.

As we did, we were all stunned by his performance to the point that we couldn't laugh about it. He's totally a good singer. He was able to convert Luna's girly idol song into a manly suave song. Now that was totally unexpected.

Time to check the air hockey table to see if it's available.

As we did, class 3 is no longer there and they're playing with the punching game.

Good, it's available.

Since Aeris and Kana didn't join us in our little game earlier, we let them play first along with Zack who is psyche up about it.

As for Roc and Maple, they're still playing Time Panic.

Aeris teams up with Ace to fight against Kana and Zack while the rest of us watch their match.

Bam*

Zack was up for service and he smashes the puck into their goal which gave them the first point.

Although I knew that Zack is crazy for air hockey but I didn't know he was an expert.

Ace was up for service and she hits the puck while targeting Zack and Kana's goal but Zack quickly intercepts it and returns the favor.

Bam*

He smashes the puck into their goal once again.

Ace takes the puck and gave it to Aeris for service. Aeris gave a weak serve and Kana intercepts it. After that, she returns the puck to them and Ace intecepts it and returns it to them. Zack intercepts the puck and smashes it back to them Ace quickly blocks it but it was too strong for her and the puck flies off the table and landed on front of me.

I duck to pick it up.

Suddenly I heard multiple foot steps and metallic clicking sound approaching us.

I raise my head to see what it is.

"Freeze! You are all under arrest!"

A bunch of police S.W.A.T team came from who knows where and points their sub machine guns at us.

What the hell is going on?
