It didn't take me long to find the bath area. It's a room connected to the prize room too.
Once I was there—
"Hmm?"
I looked around to check my surroundings.
I saw some people, about seven of them. Making me the eighth person here.
Looks like the seven people are split into three groups.
'One with three members, and two duos.'
I noted in my head, seeing them grouping together.
And after that—
I didn't waste any more time.
I removed my ragged and dirty shirt, leaving me with my rug-like shorts only. I put it aside, and then—
Tap- tap- tap—
I started walking toward the small pool in here. It's just as big as the room that I was staying at back at the copper place.
One of the duos was actually there while the others were cleaning themselves outside the pool.
As I was walking closer—
I felt everyone's eyes on me, it was uncomfortable.
"..."
But I just ignored them all and kept a poker face.
Then after reaching the pool—
SPLASH—
I immediately jumped inside it!
"Haaaaa..."
I relaxed and let out a sigh as I felt the water soak into my body. Some of my wounds stung, but I didn't pay attention to them.
I just sat at the corner of the pool alone and started cleaning myself.
"Oh, they have something like this, huh."
I mumbled to myself, seeing a small metal dipper not far from me.
I took it and started pouring water all over my body while still in the pool.
Splash—
'I'm going to enjoy this place to the fullest.'
I thought as I poured water over my head, slightly smiling.
I felt refreshed.
Nothing beats taking a bath and soaking in water after eating some delicious food.
But then...
As I was just minding my damn business—
"Hey, kid."
I heard someone call for me from my back.
"Ugh..."
I immediately groaned before even looking to see who it was.
'Can't people just leave me in peace?!'
I exclaimed in my head, annoyed.
Fwish—
I quickly turned my head back with a big frown on my face.
And there—
"Woah, what's with the face?"
I saw the three-member group looking at me.
"What do you guys want?"
I asked them, raising a brow and getting out of the pool.
"..."
The four other people here were looking at us curiously. Then, I saw one of them looking at me like he was feeling sorry for me.
And because of that—
'Shit... Is this trouble again?'
I immediately knew things could go wrong fast.
I prepared myself for the worst.
Moving on—
"It's my first time seeing you here, you new?"
The man in front asked. He was the one who called for me. He's fat and topless, he looked like a pig monster from a game that I played before.
'Was it called a piglin...?'
Anyway—
"Yeah, I'm new."
I answered the guy.
And at my words—
He looked at his two henchmen on his sides. The three of them smiled and nodded their heads.
The two henchmen were skinny as fuck. It looked like their leader was taking their food... Poor bastards.
"Are you a gladiator too?"
The fat guy asked another question after shifting his focus back on me.
"That's right."
I replied.
"Wow, and you look so young... How old are you?"
He followed up, walking toward me.
"Sixteen."
I shortly said, still frowning at him.
Then, at that moment—
Pat—
He placed his right hand on my left shoulder.
"Sixteen? You're still unripe, hehe."
He said with a creepy laugh.
And with a disgusting smile on his face—
"That's just how I like it."
He whispered under his breath, looking at me with predatory eyes.
"Heh heh heh..."
His breathing suddenly got heavier and his hold on my shoulder tightened.
"Kehehehe..."
"What a score."
The two men behind him mumbled to themselves, stepping forward too to follow their leader.
"..."
I just looked at them with a blank expression on my face, not saying anything.
"Kehehehehe..."
"Kekekeke..."
"Hehehehe..."
They were just laughing weirdly like idiots.
"..."
I didn't move and just calculated things in my head.
And then, after that—
As I was staring at the fat bastard straight in the eyes—
SPLASH—
I poured water on their faces with the metal dipper in my right hand!
"Ugh?!"
"Fuck...!"
"Shit!"
They all closed their eyes because of it, they were caught off guard.
And at that moment—
"Fucking weirdo."
THUNK—!
I swung my left hand and slammed the metal dipper into the fat bastard's face as hard as I could!
"GAH?!"
He shouted in pain as he stumbled back.
And not missing that opportunity—
BAM!
I pushed him with both hands!
THUD!
"URGH?!!"
He slipped on the wet floor and fell on his back.
"Huh?"
The two henchmen opened their eyes at that moment and saw their boss on the ground.
"...?"
They were confused, their attention completely away from me now.
And with that—
"Fucking idiots."
THUNK—
I slammed the one on the right side in the face too with the metal dipper!
"GAAARGH?!"
THUD!
He fell on the ground and slammed his head pretty hard.
"Wha?!"
The other one immediately turned to me, eyes widened. He was frozen in shock.
And before he could even react—
BAM!
I kicked his knee with my right foot!
"GAAAAAAAAHHH—!!"
He shrieked in pain.
And to follow up—
THUNK—!
I smashed the metal dipper straight into his nose, shutting him up.
THUD!
"GUGH?!!"
He fell onto the ground and hit his head badly.
The two henchmen passed out.
And so with that—
"Ugh..."
Only the fat bastard remained.
"You fucking kid... I'll fucking kill you..."
He muttered as he tried pushing himself up with his fat arms.
I shifted my attention back to him.
And as soon as he opened his eyes back up—
"Fucking pervert."
"Huh...?"
BAM!
I smashed the metal dipper in his face.
BAM!
Again.
BAM!
And again.
BAM!
And again.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
I continued beating his face with an annoyed expression on my face.
