"Eyy! What the fuck do ya mean I'm not allowed to bring mah damn flamethrower?"

It had been 3 hours since Hyde first set foot in the League of Legends inauguration entrance hall. Three goddamn hours dealing with petty bureaucratic bullshit and fucking stupid codes of conduct in size 11 print before finally being allowed to sign the document that would allow him to beat some poor sap into a pile of meat. But there was one catch that caused Hyde to reconsider not just lighting the whole building on fire.

The so called riot 'balance team' member held up his hands, "Oh, no no, you can keep the flamethrower."

"Oh, good. For a second there-"

The member shot him off mid-sentence, "You have to use one of these summoner spells instead."

Hyde just stared, "Mate. Do ah look like a wizard?"

"Well… um…"

The riot 'balance team' member gave a top-down look of the grizzled, but not quite a marine, individual before him. Wearing a metal harness that would have been everything defining the word uncomfortable on anyone else, on this giant of a man, it was about as matching as a cute frog-shaped hat on an equally cute kitten… except, instead of a kitten, it was a hairy gorilla in a faintly smelly wife-beater shirt and eyepatch. The riot 'balance team' member took a quick whiff just to make sure the savory smell of money was there.

Satisfied, the member responded, "You, uh, have that computer wizard smell, at least."

Someone in the background yelled, "Get it! He's talking about pc gamers!" But no one heard that.

Hyde glared in an unamused expression and began walking in the direction he most was the way to the arena, "Fuck this. Damn sods."

"WELCOME TO SUMMONER'S RIFT!"

Hyde nearly punched the guy wearing a fedora right next to him when he heard some lady scream so loud, it almost felt like she popped an eardrum.

"Who dah fuck said that?" Hyde asked out loud. He saw a pretty girl standing- er, floating roughly to the side of him. Maybe she was the one who was shouting in his ear?

"Eyy, lady!" Hyde immediately got her attention, "Don't take this personal, but I don't like some random lady screaming in mah ear."

She didn't say anything, except tilt her head and give a quizzical, confused look.

"Ah. All quiet now, are ye?"

The girl made a noticeable effort of showing herself glance left, then right. She gave a small, sheepish smile and a shrug of the shoulders. Hyde let a knowing smirk grace his chemically scarred face.

"It's alrite, hon." Hyde said, "I know when ya girls are playin shy."

Hyde turned to the battlefield and sauntered off at his usual pace, not paying any notice to the girl's bewildered expression behind him or the other hunters that were going off on their own. Regardless, it was time to get to work.
