"Is that all you've got?" Loki muttered, disappointed. He'd expected the floor master to be comparable to Hisoka, but he was only slightly stronger than Bodoro.
"The floor master! The floor master!" the announcer exclaimed. "The floor master, who's never been defeated in five years, the top ruler of floor 200—Puma!"
[note: Puma is only a Fictional Character]
Puma struck a pose he considered cool and, with the announcer's introduction, stepped onto the ring. Compared to him, Loki looked tiny.
"It's been over a year since we've seen Puma fight!"
"We thought Hisoka was most likely to challenge the floor master. This kid got ten wins so quickly!" the audience exclaimed, excited.
"Don't underestimate him. He got ten consecutive wins. His strange flames even defeated Hisoka!"
"Yeah, I bet everything on this kid! I'll make a fortune if he wins!"
"Go, Fire User! Beat the floor master!"
Puma roared, his Nen erupting. It was terrifying; a gust of wind blew, and the ground cracked. The ring was filled with cracks.
"Amazing! Puma's power shattered the floor!"
"As expected of the floor master! Puma is undoubtedly strong!"
Puma looked powerful, but Loki looked frail. The announcer was pessimistic.
"Despite Loki's miracle ten wins, winning against Puma's power will be difficult."
Puma's muscles bulged as his Nen erupted; veins looked like snakes. He looked terrifying.
"Kid, your talent is good. You learned Nen at this age and defeated some weaklings. But Nen isn't that simple," Puma said, raising his fist. He shot forward like a cannonball, shaking the arena. His huge body was like a runaway truck, charging at Loki.
'Arrogant kid! You'll be meat paste! Hahaha!' Puma thought, smiling coldly.
He slammed into where Loki had been. The ring cracked; a five-meter-wide crater appeared.
Puma smiled coldly. 'I held back. Using Ken, he shouldn't die, but his bones should be crushed.' He stood up, looking at the crater. Small rocks fell from him. His eyes widened.
'No one?' Puma stood up. "Impossible! I targeted him; he couldn't have dodged my attack."
He looked around the ring. "Where is he?!" Loki wasn't there.
"Was he crushed into paste?!" Puma wondered. "No, no blood. How did he disappear?"
Puma didn't see Loki, but the audience was stunned. Loki descended from the sky, light as a feather, landing behind Puma. His white cloak billowed. Loki stared coldly at Puma.
'You think you can beat me with that?' Loki thought, furious not just at being tricked, but at being underestimated.
"Unbelievable," the announcer said after a pause. "Loki disappeared and dodged Puma's attack."
Puma heard the announcer and looked up; Loki was gone. He saw Loki behind him and turned quickly. He broke out in a cold sweat.
'Impossible!' 'I hit him! When did he dodge?!' Puma realized something terrifying. This kid had easily dodged his attack. 'No, he's just a kid! He can't be stronger than me! I trained hard for decades! A kid can't surpass my decades of training! Impossible!'
Puma stepped forward. "Jumping kid! Don't dodge!" He punched Loki.
"I won't dodge," Loki said.
An unbelievable sight appeared. Puma's huge fist was stopped by Loki's left hand. It didn't move! A terrifying wind erupted.
Everyone opened their eyes. Loki stood still, unmoved by Puma's punch.
"He… he blocked it!" the audience exclaimed, stunned.
That punch could easily shatter the ring. But Loki's thin arm had stopped it.
Puma was the most surprised. He'd used his full strength, but Loki had easily blocked it. Sweat dripped from his face; his expression changed from a smile to tears.
Loki gently released Puma's fist.
"So insignificant. Is this the floor master?"
Puma stepped back, terrified. 'Why does a kid have such terrifying aura?' He didn't want to fight. Fear rose from his heart, caused by the kid.
A voice said, 'Run! Run!' He looked at the audience; someone's hand trembled. He heard someone yell, 'Damn it, get him! What are you waiting for?' His voice was lost in the cheers. But Puma understood.
He clenched his fists, looking at Loki. "Damn it!!"
"Overdrive mode activated!!"
Boom!
His huge body erupted with even more terrifying Nen.
