They regained their wits after hearing my voice, but their eyes still bulging. They keep looking at me and 'Number One'. Well, I understand their feeling. Someone whom they underestimated won the fight, with shocking abilities as well. Not from luck.
"Am-I-Win-?" I said word per word so they can hear it more clearly.
"Yo..y..You win, but what ? We are not betting anything. Only you betting something." Principal said it.
"..." I was stunned. I really forgot to make them betting on something because of nervous. I really regret it now.
[What's the deal ? Ask them to play again. Raise your stakes.Give them an advantage. Ask for something equal. Simple. I will help you again.]
[Really ?]
[Of course. If you die now, I will have no hope and place to stay.]
[What if they refused it ?]
[Then provoke them, like last time.]
{Okay. Let's do it.]
"Let's play once again. This time we raise the stakes."
"What ?"
"Hmm ? What with that surprise voice ? Don't tell me you are afraid."
"Youuuu. Don't think your's win against him can make you win against me." Said by the supposed 'Number Two'. I don't know his codename but I will assume his codename as it. He came forward to face me.
"Wait. I don't tell you about the stakes yet."
"Hmph. If you win you go. If you lost you stay."
"Let's forget about that. We raise the stakes a bit." I said with smile.
"What the stakes ?" Before number two response, Principal answered.
"How about this, my life and her life, as well number one's. If I win, Miss Ann and I will be free and your Number One's life will end. If we lose, our life in your hand and you Number One will be saved."I said with smile.
"Oh. And you can use a weapon to fight me. Of course except firearms." I added before they open their mouth.
"I accept." said Number Two. Principal give his approval with nod too. With that we came to the center again. I look at Number Two's weapon. It's seems he choose a knife. His body a bit skinny. His hand too a bit longer than normal people. It's seems a troubling opponent.
[Be careful. His abilities was with knife. Also be careful of his speed. Give him the first move.]
[Roger.]
"You first." I said.
"Okay then." with that he walk toward me. I concentrate my mind, so I can move as soon I heard the instruction.
[Lean right] I leaned right, but his knife still managed to scratch my hand. I was surprised. He was so fast. I saw him release the knife in his hand and grab it with his another hand.
[Backstep] I do it without hesitation. He tried to stab me with his reverse grip. I managed to avoid it this time.
[Lean left and half-step backward] with that move, I managed to avoid it and his knife happen to be around 25cm in front of me. [Imagine your hand as a blade. Chop it to his wrist.] I imagine my and as a blade and chop it to his wrist. The knife fell from his hand. [Lean left.] His knife stabbed to the air. [Another chop with right hand.] Once again his knife fell from his hand. [Left elbow to his chest.] I do it without another thought. My elbow struck to his chest. He took a few step backward and hold his hand to his chest. His eyes full of shock. [Take the knife and hold it with reverse-grip then slash it to him, but stop once neared him.] He raise both his hand to block the knife. [Switch to forward-grip and stab him to his heart.] He was surprised when doesn't feel anything when trying to block the knife. But before he can do anything, I already stabbed his heart. He saw his chest with surprised expression. Clearly he doesn't think I can stabbed him. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward with his eyes wide open, still not believing what happened.
He doesn't move anymore.
