Chapter 10: Male Spelunker, Leo Kliesen
The next day, Jin goes with Rhima while taking recovery from his serious injuries last night. He was happy that Rhima treated his injuries after she gets drunk knowing of her hospitality.
"So, that's why you want me to go with you, Jin." Rhima smiled.
"Yeah, sometimes it's pretty boring when you're inside the house." Jin seems pretty happy to her. Until, someone greets them.
"It's been a while, Jin." Lars arrives to greet both Jin and Rhima.
"Lars, you look changeable on your clothes." Jin nodded and Rick arrives putting a confrontation towards Rhima.
"Well well, Panganiban. I'm going to fight you in that game, right now." Rick said vigilant to Rhima and she disagrees.
"You don't learn aren't you, Rick. You already lost twice to me within those months ago. But still you haven't changed." Rhima commented.
"Aw, quit it. I won't forget about what you did."
Jin and Lars knew Rick is going to fight Rhima since during the game plays in arcades.
"Jin, I think what he just wanted is to fight Rhima, that will be much more disrespectful." Lars said calmly.
"I know… she will tell him about us, game characters…" Jin said silently.
"Game characters… what do you mean?"
"Actually, game characters are similar to us like real people. But we're came from the game that they currently play right now." Jin explained.
"Oh…"
"You don't understand, Rick. You have no idea that Lars actually comes out of the arcade machine kit. The fact is that game characters are easily comes out when someone using his/her characters in the game."
"Game characters…"
"You don't know a lot about those… I've learned that from Rei by that time when I released Jin in my PSP." Rhima said seriously.
"Man, in your PSP will come out too…"
"But I don't have time for you to fight; you were nothing just to fight me." Rhima said as she leaves him.
"Lars, I'm sure you need to discipline him much more." Jin said as he coldly leaves his half-uncle. Lars however wanted to find out more about Rhima.
At the hospital, Rei visits his distant nephew, Crimson since she can finally walk.
"Wow, I'm glad that I can walk right now. Thanks for taking me in the hospital, Rei." Crimson smiled.
"There's nothing to worry about. But, I'm glad that you're okay." Rei said happily.
"Anyway, I heard that Asuka is with you. There's no way that Hwoarang has a huge type of her." Crimson said while Rei put flowers in the vase.
"Huh? Really…Game characters can be together too…" Rei becomes shocked and Crimson starts to blush while bursting out of laughter.
"Hahaha… this guy sometimes is a pretty jerk but, getting in love on Asuka and her big boobies." Crimson laughed.
However, Hwoarang confesses his love to Asuka. In which he likes her, he decides to make their feelings for each other not to tell his rival Jin.
"Listen, Asuka. I don't want to tell Kazama everything our relationship right now since I want to fight him one last time."
"Oh… you surely want me to get with you at times like this." Asuka smiled.
"Yeah… that's what I've thinking."
Meanwhile at the lover's lane in UST since she never show up in her teachings. Then, Lars came in and wanted to know something for her.
"You still by yourself…"
"Uh… Lars why are you here?" Rhima said sadly.
"Sir, we'll be worried if you go off like that." Lars said and he goes sitting with her.
"Jin said that he goes to buy some food then he visits in the hospital to see Rei. I hate if Rick tries to fight me in one simple reason." Rhima said explaining.
"Don't worry about him, he told me that he is going to teach his students at Lyceum. I came here to know something about Rick." Lars said wanted to know answers for Rhima.
"Rick sometimes has no respect even if he gets lost to a woman like me. He became vigilant when he tries to fight me in that game."
Flashback:
Rick and Rhima were playing the arcade machine kit, Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion in SM Manila and the 3'TC gamers were watching both are playing the game.
"Oh shit…" Rick uses Lars in his player 2 outfit while Rhima uses Jin in his player 1 outfit.
"I guess that you're not pretty good." Rhima said commenting as the Jin character performs his win animation. "You're a joke"
"Argh, that's it. I don't want to lose it from you." Rick becomes vigilant and he still using the Lars character in the game.
"…what a bummer…?"
Both were still playing and their win is still tied and they made to final round.
"All right, I'm not going to lose it from you." Rick said putting a vigilant on her actions since she does not listen to him.
After the whole thing, Rick lost again and Rhima becomes mad at him.
"Oh well, you still no good on beating me." Rhima commented while the Jin character performs the win animation by crosses his arms and breathes heavily while opening his eyes.
"Urghhh… you're going to far…" Rick became pissed and the 3'TC gamers were interested on Rhima when she plays.
Flashback over
"And that's what happened. He always pisses off when he gets lost from me. Sometimes he is really pitiful and no respect to a girl like me." Rhima said feeling sorry for her actions.
"It's okay… by the time I came out here; I finally understand why Rick became so mad." Lars said smiling.
"Why…?"
"It's because his data card won't work after I came out here. He begins to piss off when he can't use a game character like me."
"Ouch…"
"But I understand his loss to you. Even he uses me in the game but he ended up losing. That causes his weak point for not anticipate my fighting moves properly." Lars said calmly and both see a man was searching for someone.
"Excuse me, have you seen a young German just pass by." A man asked.
"You must been, Robin and what do you need." Rhima recognizes the man.
"I think he is searching something. Let's find that young man he is been looking for." Lars decides to go with Rhima to find the young German in which to be Leo Kliesen.
In the main fields, Lars and Rhima see Leo who got cornered by some female soccer players.
"Hey calm down… do I think I'm a boy." Leo reacted and some female soccer players were crazy about him.
"That's the one he is looking for. She must be a game character like you and Jin."
"I'll take care of this. Just watch me, Rhima." Lars goes to confront the girls as he starting to charm them. "Hey girls, you want me to get something to you…"
The girls were charmed from his looks since he charms them and Rhima finally saves Leo from them.
"Let get moving, Rhima I hate if some girls that I charmed is crazy about me." Lars goes with Rhima and Leo leaving the girls gets unconscious from his looks.
After that, Robin was impressed finally found Leo.
"Thank you for getting her back. I felt so worried for her."
"So, Leo was a male spelunker, am I right. He seems exploring around in the main fields until some female soccer players were crazy about him." Rhima said noticing of her appearance.
"Thank you for saving me…" Leo said became thankful to Rhima.
"I'd better get going, Rhima. I hate if Jin finds out about this. But I finally got your word." Lars waves goodbye to Rhima as he leaves.
After the whole incident, Jin seems pretty anxious towards Rhima after she never showed up in her teaching schedules because of her best friend Ayamie.
"You don't have to be sad Rhima. I was lucky that I'm helping you out today."
"Yeah…" Rhima said finally agrees him to help her as she requested. "Hey, could you help me something about the cooking tonight? I know it's special."
"Well, okay… I like if I helped you out." Jin was happy to see her smiling and they went home together.
