Jaquan walked to the mirrored locker-room door admiring the suit Liana chosen for him.\u00a0 He liked clothes, but the clothing that Catlin made and enchanted was much better than he could ever buy.\u00a0 She had made a black silk tie, a red dress shirt, and black dress pants with red cloth on the outer half of the left leg.<\/p>\n
The suit coat was mostly black as well.\u00a0 It was designed to match the red patch covering his left eye that trailed around to the back of his neck.\u00a0 Just as his red skin would touch the suit, red cloth replaced the black.\u00a0 It covered his left sleeve and a portion of the back, curving towards his left side at the bottom.<\/p>\n
Interesting enough but when he put the suit on, the red portions of all his dress clothes turned reddish grey and sprouted glowing red cracks.\u00a0 It kept changing until it looked exactly like coals on a burning log.\u00a0 These \u201ccoals\u201d were harmless, of course, but Catlin seemed to outdo herself more and more these days.\u00a0 He was wearing<\/em> coals.\u00a0 It was amazing.\u00a0 This would light up the dance floor perfectly and let everyone know who the guest of honor was.<\/p>\n By the time he was ready to leave, even more reporters seemed to have gathered around the door.\u00a0 He could hear them.\u00a0 He also heard the cameras clicking and wondered why they needed pictures of a locker-room door.\u00a0 He would have to remember ask photographers later.<\/p>\n As soon as he opened the door reporters bombarded him.\u00a0 They made sure to say a minimal introduction as though it meant something.\u00a0 Then the question started.\u00a0 He pushed through using only his legs and chest, walking calmly and briskly as they swarmed him.\u00a0 He could have used a simple move to push them all away but he chose to contain himself for now.<\/p>\n The nearest reporter to his right muttered the first question he could understand.\u00a0 \u201cIt seemed like you were in trouble for the first portion of the fight.\u00a0 How did you turn it around?\u201d\u00a0 He was barely keeping up having to push against the other reporters to finish his questions.<\/p>\n \u201cWith machines, you gotta be patient,\u201d Jaquan answered without slowing his pace or turning completely, \u201cThey got really good burst damage so you outlast them.\u00a0 As fights get longer, sustained damage gets weak.\u201d<\/p>\n The previous reporter\u2019s microphone was long since out of range.\u00a0 By this time, another reporter managed to say a question.\u00a0 \u201cWhat were you thinking when the blaster bolt hit your leg?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt hurts when you\u2019re hit.\u00a0 Always does,\u201d Jaquan said honestly, \u201cNoobs panic and fall apart under pressure.\u00a0 Champions,\u201d Jaquan said pointing to himself with his left hand, \u201cFind ways to make things work out.\u00a0 I got tactics from my Talent Sets.\u00a0 They worked out pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHow did you prepare for this fight,\u201d spouted another reporter from behind him.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of my crew uses machines like Generosa Eh\u2019s.\u00a0 We started practicing really hard once I chose her as the challenger.\u00a0 I was ready.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the reporters started to mutter a question but was too close to Jaquan.\u00a0 The reporter had to press against Jaquan to talk but Jaquan didn\u2019t stop walking.\u00a0 To late the reporter realized his mistake and was knocked over and walked on, without a thought from Jaquan.\u00a0 As he reached the reporters chest he looked above the reporters and saw the night club portion of the hotel.\u00a0 That is where his party will be.<\/p>\n \u201cOrien Chuan says that he should have been next in line for the championship but you chose Generosa Eh because you were afraid to fight him.\u00a0 What is your response?\u201d<\/p>\n At that, Jaquan stopped to give a response.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m not scared of nobody,\u201d Jaquan said, stung by the question, \u201cI\u2019m the best!\u00a0 I\u2018ve proved it time and time again!\u00a0 I will be the best until someone can take the championship,\u201d Jaquan spoke clear and purposefully, \u201cI\u2019ve opened challengers to anyone that wants the shot!\u00a0 They all lined up and I\u2019ve beaten \u2018em.\u201d<\/p>\n The reporter looked smug, happy that she found something that could stop The World Champion.\u00a0 She continued, \u201cThen, why is it that you chose Generosa Eh over Orien Chuan, a man that has the greatest chances to take your championship?\u201d<\/p>\n Jaquan read her expression and saw that he had been trapped.\u00a0 He decided to finish the answer anyway.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m in it for the gold.\u00a0 Cars, clothes, and class, you think that\u2019s free?\u00a0 Generosa Eh paid the bill and got her shot.\u00a0 All Orien got is talk and cheap tricks.\u00a0 Next time we fight, I\u2019ll be ready for his cheese.\u00a0 I\u2019ll beat him worse than last time.\u201d<\/p>\n At that, Jaquan started walking towards the club again, put on a stone face, and stopped answering questions.\u00a0 The reporters eventually figured out that the interview was over as they could not enter the club without an invitation while it was reserved.\u00a0 They dispersed by the time he reached the club.<\/p>\n #1<\/a> –\u00a0Opportunity #2<\/a>\u00a0– Opportunity #4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jaquan walked to
