There were two ways for one to partake in the virtual mecha fights as a viewer, one could directly enter the virtual world and watch from there after paying a small fee to the host of the fights which was an immersive and very life like experience or one could simply watch the fight on a television or through a mini hologram projected from their bracelet terminals. Most people preferred to enter the virtual world. At this moment so many people on the Blue star had already connected to the virtual network, entered the world and found seats after paying five star coins. Even those who could not afford had been sponsored by his highness the Prince Markay.
The fights were divided into three divisions, division one was for amateur fighters, those that were just beginning and rarely had any special skills which made it cheap and unappealing to those that were in it for the money. It was unusual to find a wealthy person watching a division one fight because it was hardly extraordinary. Division two was slightly better because the fighters had honed their skills, the fights lasted longer and this was where potential could be spotted. If one had potential then companies, guilds, nobles and wealthy families would come knocking to make offers that would change one's life. Even members of the royal family engaged in this madness, offering special privileges to those fighters that caught their eye. The mecha fights could turn one into an overnight sensation and often make one rich in an instant. This is one of the reasons why they were so popular among the common people. It was a ticket out of poverty and thousands of people tried their hand at it every year, but out of the thousands, not more than thirty made a mark on the world of mecha fighting. The last and the most coveted of them all was division three, this was where the expert fighters cemented their names on the list of the greats and finally moved from the virtual world to the real one. To conquer division three as the number one fighter was almost equal to being a top celebrity in this world, it would earn one fame, wealth, sponsorships and many other perks. But it was not an easy task to do or position to keep because one was constantly being challenged, everyone wanted to be number one. The longest reining number one had lasted a period of three years, it was so unbelievable, that man went on to form his own guild which was among the top ten guilds in the empire, the shadow guild.
Scarlet knew all of this knowledge by heart now because she had researched it all and learned the rules of the fights by heart. She even went as far as to study Shadow's old fights to see what he did different that had kept him at the top.
Tion had said that it was simple, Shadow was swift and ruthless. Within the first one minute of the fight he would gage his opponent learning their weakness and then he would use it to take out the opponent quickly by knocking them to a point of unconsciousness or sending them into the oblivion portal which was behind on every end of the ring. Once one was pushed into the black oblivion portal then the fight was over instantly. The oblivion portal was not dangerous, it simply disconnected one from the virtual world. So not only did one have to watch out for the opponent, they also had to watch out for the portal.
"What kind of record are you aiming to break anyway?" he asked her. "Enter your username here." he told pointed to her account on the computer screen.
'The hound.' she wrote.
"Winning three fights in thirty minutes." she answered.
"Shadow's record!!" Beord gasped.
