The Runaway is a Politician's Daughter IV.II Virtual Fighting
Athena craned her neck at the massive signage blaring in front of her, a faint sense of excitement building up for every second that she stared at it. Even living all her life in Midas never let her take for granted the majesty of the big yellow logo plastered on the front of the building in front of her.Saint Midas Mall.As the largest mall in the city and possibly in the country, the SM Mall. as it was locally called, boasted roughly a whopping 200,000 square meters worth of retail and restaurant space split across its three floors. From grocery stores to famous clothing brands, to the latest in cutting edge technology, the mall has a fairly daunting selection of stores and kiosks compared to other malls in Midas. The mall was divided in three different sections: the Hub, The Annex, and Cyberzone. As the Hub suggests in its name, it was located at the center of the mall proper and it's the largest of the three, where most of the general kiosks, groceries, and clothing stores were si

As much as she tried to deny it, the nostalgic novelist truly missed going to this section of Saint Midas; its multiple stores filled to the brim with technology as far as the eye can see. From cellphones to cameras to laptops to PC parts, Cyberzone had it all. Although not as advanced like from those that were found in the capital city, it was already more than enough for most as only the truly tech-savvy even bothered to make the trip up north to Lamina. Athena never really cared much about that life, heck, this was where she bought her current laptop. She didn't need some new cutting edge phone if it would just become obsolete in a year once the phone companies release a newer and better model.Besides, the trip wasn't worth the effort anyway.The broken hinge on your old flip phone suggests otherwise.She got burned the last time she did it. Best stick to the reliable stuff.Holding her breath, Athena felt a sense of trepidation on a level that she hadn't felt in what seemed like f

Sixty seconds of playtime counted down as both characters on the screen sprang to life, quickly establishing space between one another. The movement of both players' sticks were apparent both on the screen and in real life, with both characters weaving in and out of their respective ranges in time with the audible clacks echoing from their hands. Murmurs rang from the crowd, amazement evident from the tone of their hushed voices."Look at that movement. This gon' be a real match!"The fight stick bent to her will as Athena's hand jiggled back and forth, poking and prodding her opponent with each button press of quick jabs and safe moves. Judging from what she observed earlier, Udongein had a tendency to throw out safe jabs and kicks, conditioning the opponent to block whenever he approached followed by an unexpected *unblockable to catch the enemy off gua-*Crash!*Tch- She got careless as Slim's uppercut launched her into the air, guaranteeing almost half of her health to be taken.

Wasting no time, Athena went for the down kick, making the opponent stagger as he was busy establishing distance.Don't give him an inch!Up forward three.*Crash!*Kunimitsu kneed Doll, launching it into the air. Bread-and-butter combo.It was all coming back to her. She didn't even need to think about the inputs as much anymore.The opponent's health now lied at 40%.The fired-up woman can barely hide the glee that was beginning to show on her face. Her hands felt faster, her eyes now starting to pick up windows of opportunities that weren't apparent to her before. The wooden man on the screen was starting to show caution in its movements, adjusting to the aggressive playstyle that she was now exhibiting. The demon lurched forward, trying to bait out an attack- There!Down three plus four, three, four.*Crash!*The wooden doll's jab whiffed as the katana wielder suddenly sat down before delivering a devastating kick to the chin, launching her opponent high-Forward dash three plus f

"YOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" The crowd exploded upon hearing the revelation about her identity.That's going to come back to you, you know~Athena spared no thought as she let herself be immersed in the game that she once loved. Smiling ear to ear as her hands moved as if it had minds of their own, inputting sequences hard engraved into her muscle memory and applying constant pressure to the slowly falling health bar of her opponent. Sooner or later, he's going to throw a running-Sidestep, down back two.*Crash!*"OHHH!!!!"Too easy. Udongein was getting desperate to try and get some hits in. Too bad she's tilted him enough to make reading his moves as easy as reading an open book."OH! OH! OH! OH! OHHHHH!!!!" The crowd chanted along each landed hit, vigor renewed with the prospect of witnessing high-level gameplay.*K.O!*"That sidestep was sick! Did you see the reads?!" "Tch!" She heard him make a noise as his character landed with a heavy thud on the ground. Haha! How delicious was his suf
The Runaway is a Politician's Daughter IV.VII Virtual Fighting
Athena was frozen in her seat, hands unmoving as a thousand thoughts ran through her mind. How did Arbiter know!? The mysterious woman never contacted her ever since the deal was struck.. Why now?She has eyes and ears everywhere. She told as much.*Crash!*The novelist was knocked out of her stupor as she heard the sound of the sword-wielding demon flying through the air, his health bar taking damage as her opponent threw calculated jabs and kicks.Shit! She had to focus! She beat her once, she can beat her again! Losing means death.Shaking her head as she stamped down on her growing fear, grim determination taking its place, the hooded player gripped her controls intently, ready to make a stand against the mysterious opponent. Deftly rolling back and establishing space, Kunimitsu's health hovered at 60% as the wooden doll dashed back and forth out of range, waiting patiently for its opponent to make the move.The hooded woman weighed her options. Rose was always known for being un

Focus. Study her movement. Forget the fact that losing meant more, take each round one at a time. She can still win this- A parry!One plus three.*Grab!*Kunimitsu withheld his sword mid-swing, avoiding the welcoming hands of his opponent, instead suddenly enveloping the surprised doll in an embrace before lifting it higher and squeezing, snapping the wooden doll's proverbial spine before unceremoniously dropping its body to the ground-Up, three plus four.*Crash!*He then disappeared into the air before delivering a devastating double heel kick, smashing Doll even further into the ground-Down three.*K.O!*Before then delivering a low kick to seal the round in his favor.Laser focus. No time for celebration just yet. She just had to win one more round.*Final Round!*One more round. Just one more round!*Fight!*Down three.*Parry!*The determined novelist winced as the doll intercepted the low kick, resulting in her character being slammed into the ground-*Punch! Kick!*Then puni

"H.y." Ughhh..."A.hena." Who...The sleeping woman grumbled as she heard voices calling to her in her sleep. "C'.on Ath-na.." Nah... "Wake up.." No... This was the best sleep she had in years. "We have to go home Athena.." The stubborn author purred as she tried turned her body, a hard sensation now making itself felt on her side. "Really 'Thena?" Whoever was calling her needs to shut up and let her sleep. The rough leathery pillow didn't really help either. "Wake up!" The nerve.."What is it?" The bleary-eyed novelist growled, unaware of the sight that would greet her."About time." Wait... "C'mon. Let's go home." Eremes?! How stubborn can you get?~How? Why? Where? And why was his face the first thing that she saw? Surprise and confusion flooded her thoughts as she tried to recount how she ended up in this situation-"Uhh.. Do you mind?" What now? "I kinda want feeling in my legs back." The novelist's face turned from befuddlement to realization to horror as she slowly put to
