《Into The Portal: Monster Invasion》156- Beginning to Shine!
Advertisement
Miles woke up a little bit tired since he spent most of his night in Virtual Machine. He fought against lots of opponents, and all of them in different arenas. But, he was able to overpower his opponents with only his physical powers, like he always did.
Elemental Vision was a great help. He could see where the attack’s range began and ended, and could even dodge attacks invisible to the normal eyes. He even matched with a person using aftershocks as his main attack, but thanks to Miles's elemental vision, he could evade them easily. Of course, his strong body was also important. Without a body supporting his speed, he wouldn’t be able to dodge fast attacks like wind blades or lightning swords.
Miles’s pseudonym also got famous once again after not appearing in Virtual Arena for some time. When he first came, he defeated one thought to be the Marooner, then won against tricky opponents, and people started to notice him. When he fought against Mountain Fist yesternight, no one was there to watch him live, and both he and his opponent Mountain Fist chose not to share the fight, so people couldn’t watch it. But they still knew that the infamous Mountain Fist lost the fight.
“That arrogant nickname ticked me at first but he seems capable of bearing it.” One of the girls in the crowded group said with a sigh.
“Which nickname are you talking about?” Her friend asked. He was from a strong family and wasn’t that bad himself. He was trying to woo this girl for some time because of her looks, but she was indifferent to her. He planned this gathering just for a chance to meet with her. After all, she was refusing his approaches all this while.
He instead talked to the girl's best friend and gave her some gifts to convince bring her friend with her. After all, the easiest way to cajole a girl is through her friends. Once her friends put some good words for you, you are half a foot inside. So he thought, but at least she was there and he had a chance to impress her now.

The girl looked at the man nonchalantly and replied, “Thousand kills in Thousand miles.”
“Oh, isn’t that the person who won against Princess Gerda?” One other man asked.
“Our ‘little’ princes Gerda lost?” One of the girls said with a giggle.
“Yeah, they fought yesterday. But both parties didn’t want to share the match, so we don’t know what had happened. We can’t watch the game anymore.” One other said. They were all familiar with Gerda, also known as Mountain Fist. She didn’t change her features in Virtual Arena, because she had a distinct body, so what was the point?
“That is not certain. After all, Carmen’s father is the owner of the Virtual Arena; if she wants, she can access the footage. Then, we can see how humiliating her defeat is.” Carmen was the girl who was irritated about Miles’s pseudonym, and the one speaking was the teen who wanted to woo her.
This was one of the reasons why he wanted to chase her. Her father was the owner of one of the biggest computer companies and her grandfather created the virtual arena. Their company was one of the richest in Unity.
“I can’t do such a thing. It would be invading their privacy, and our company would never do such a thing.” The girl said with a frown. It would be nothing if someone she was close to asked such a thing. She would at best act sorry, and refuse anyway. But a person she hardly knew wanted to breach the privacy agreements of the company in public. Wasn’t he trying to sully their name?
“I didn’t rebuke you when you tried to woo me so many times, and never tried to insult you, but you still try to come after me by organizing this meeting.” She said with a harsh tone. Her friend’s face turned red when she realized she got busted.

“But now, you are trying to breach my company’s one of the golden rules to watch a silly fight just so you can mock one of our friends. How can you call yourself a man and human? Please stop coming after me, or my answers will not be as polite.” She said and stormed out.
The man was mortified after he heard what Carmen said. He never experienced such humiliation before, let alone in public. His friends looked at him weirdly, most of them could hardly keep their laughs. Man’s eyes changed. Faint killing intent seeped through his eyes and he too stormed out.
“That serves him right. He was pestering Carmen for so long.” After he left, his friends talked behind his back. They were mostly hanging out with him because of his family. He wasn't a good character at all.
“His family must be disappointed to have such a son.”
“Welp, he should behave from now on. He is totally humiliated.”
Miles didn’t know, but he was about to become a scapegoat for a man who wanted to woo Carmen, but thanks to incidents following he didn’t have to deal with a spoiled young master. But even if Miles knew, he would hardly care. After all, he was fighting for the sake of gaining experience. Win or loss hardly mattered to him. He chose the name because he didn’t know what else to choose.
Miles was talking with Rayen at the moment. The little girl was a lot better so Miles was ready to leave for his house. He still had many things to do, and he didn’t want to delay them any further. But at this time, Merlin knocked on his door and entered. Miles knew Merlin would come, so he wasn’t surprised. There was no way Merlin would let go of the Rayen that easily, so it was still expected for him to show up before Miles left the mansion.
