Chapter fourteen- a quick match

Training day

_____________

Kyutie, Markus, and I walk down the pathway. Many students walking in their direction or the opposite.

The sun came down pretty hard due to the fact it was in the middle of the day.

Actually, today was training day. The fighting stadium was in clear view. Almost like a football stadium. I large screen in the middle of the stadium, hanging high with cameras facing in all directions. The chairs and seating sat high above the fighting ground.

The doors to enter were open. I and Markus look at each other as students walk in and out. Some already admitting on the bleachers to watch whatever the students were doing in the stadium. Mann and his crew enter.

Like entering a black void, to the right of them were lockers rooms for the males and females were on the left of them.

Not too far ahead were the entrance to the bleachers and a little stairway that led to another set of bleachers. Me and Kyutie were nervous due them getting ready for their training time.

I wanted this. If I went a rank higher which is incredibly difficult, I'd be put in a luxury part of the school that is detached from the rest of the one he currently stayed in.

In fact, that part of the school he wanted to go to was on a different island, not far from here.

Students laughed and others stood around and had a conversation, all turning their heads to me as I make my way past them. That's when the whispers began to happen. I could only make out a few words. "Mente" "Jason" "Rank 1" "God Level" I ignored all of it.

"Are you okay?" I look to Kyutie who had her lips curled and eyes wide.

I came back to Earth and shook my head and looks in front of me. Markus walking upon the bleachers as a man held out a clipboard.

"Names please," he says.

His hair is a large Afro.

"Mann Kingsman," I reply.

"Kyutie Pellon."

He turned over a page and clicked his pen before knowing ever so softly.

He scoots to the side.

Clearing his throat, he swallowed. "No hurting each other, no real fighting, no jumping people. Everyone is permitted to wear their safety gear at all times. Take it as training and no personal fights. And... that's it. You guys may enter," he warns. Kyutie and I walk forward.

The light at the end of the tunnel got closer. My heart began racing as we entered the area that will determine if I get into that luxury home.

I was greeted with a sense of fame as we entered the large area.

Almost 200 times larger than a football stadium.

The ground was nothing but dirt. In the middle of the area were weapons that could be used. Metal gear with the names of the components above them in giant letters.

I saw mine.

Right next to mine was Jason and Kyutie's.

Kyutie grabs my arm and zips in front of our armor. So beautiful. She had a rank 2 armor set. Silver, a thin metal that covered from the chest down. A full body armor with a red diamond in the middle. flexible and soft. Enough to take as manage without being too hurt.

I had a rank 1 armor set. Golden, thin metal suit with a glowing white diamond shape in the middle of it.

People stared heavily as I touch it. Rubbing my fingers across it felt so sexy. Like being special. I could feel the energy popping off of it. "Wow..." Kyutie says.

She touched my armor.

I chuckle.

"I don't understand... How could I get so lucky with power like this?" I ask.

I gaze upon the armor.

Kyutie smiled and rubbed her fingers across the armor again. I noticed she had hers on. Along with a pair of goggles.

I step back and admired her for a few seconds.

"Haha! You look cute in that!" I laugh.

Kyutie looks down at herself. "Really???" She sticks out a leg, showing that she was trying to look at herself.

"MANNNNN!" I hear.

I turn to see Mezy and Arianna walking towards Kyutie and I.

"I never thought I'd see you here, Kyutie!" Chris speaks.

"Who wants to do a fight?" Arianna had her suit on. Same as Kyutie. I touched my armor one more time. My heart stops as it covers my arms, slowly covering my body like scales on a fish. Absolutely fantastic.

I was ready now.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" People looked at Mezy who raised his voice.

"Kyutie and Mann first. Kyutie took on Mente for three rounds and no damage. Let's see her against Mann who is MUCH weaker!" Mezy speaks. I smile and shake my head a bit.

"I don't know if I can fight the-" Before I got to finish, Kyutie chimes in.

"I accept the challenge," she says.

My heart drops as Mezy and Chris began to hype each other up. "FIRST FIGHT OF THE DAY!" Chris yells.

"EVERYONE! MOVE!" Mezy began yelling at the other contenders that were spread out across the stadium fighting grounds. That's when I noticed there were much more people than I originally thought.

the bleachers were filled with people wanting to see the powers of us.

"The bleachers are never this filled. I'm guessing they want to see what you have to present to us. The last time there were this many people was when Mente wanted to fight," Arianna says. Arianna backs away as Mente and Chris still hype reach other up, backing up while pointing to us. I look at Kyutie.

Everyone was out of the way. In a blink of an eye, Kyutie was about 500 meters away. In her fighting stance.

The screen above began flashing something.

A Power Meter.

Showing how much of our power we were using.

Kyutie: 0%

Mann: 0%

I get into my fighting stance.

Mann: 1%

Kyutie: 0%

My heart began to race.

"GO!" Chris screamed.

Faster than I could think, Kyutie was in front of me. Throwing the nastiest punch to my chest, I fly back.

flipping backward, I land on my feet. Zooming off to her, I broke the ground under me. The stadium began to shake as I take off. I throw a nasty punch to Kyutie's face only to be dodged.

She did the matrix, bending backward ever so swiftly.

caught me off guard. I stumble to the ground before seeing Kyutie come at me, kicking me in the stomach.

The kick created a shockwave that sends harsh winds in all directions.

Kyutie: 0%

Mann: 2%

I was sent flying, trying to get in the mode.

As I fully through the air helplessly, I could make out Kyutie zipping past me so quickly, ending up behind me, waiting for me to reach her.

As I do, she kicks my back, sending me flying back the way I came from.

The crowd went crazy.

"What the hell am I doing? Making myself look bad in front of everyone. I'm supposed to be a rank 1. Not no damn rank 2!" I think to myself.

As I land on the ground, Kyutie made her way in front off me. As she goes for the kick to the face, I grab her leg.

She fazed right through my hand with her speed, going for another kick to the chest.

I dodge it, smacking her in the face before going for a kick to her chest. I went right through her due to her using her speed. She kicked my back, sending me flying again.

I flip forward, launching into the air and coming down faster than sound.

Kyutie did something I never knew she could.

Running in a circle faster than light, dirt began forming into the air. Creating a dirt tornado. Just as I hit the ground, I was lifted back into the air. Kyutie found some damn way to make her wya into the air, punching me, kicking me, slapping me around in the air like a toy.

Kyutie: 1%

Mann: 4%

She stopped, letting me fall to the ground.

No control as I forgot how to use my flight power in the moment.

Just before I hit the ground, I covered my face with my arms as the ground came closer and closer. I was tackled my Kyutie in which she got me in a chokehold.

The crowd went crazy as I just sit there confused at what the fuck just happened. Kyutie had me in between her legs, restraining me from moving anywhere. "I win, Mann!" Kyutie says in a low tone while restraining me.

People clapped heavily as the score board showed Kyutie's name with the winning sign.

I couldn't focus on what happened.

Kyutie really won against me.

"BRUUUUHHHHH!" Chris and Mezy come screaming as Kyutie let me go. I get up from the ground.

"SHE USED 1 PERCENT OF HER SPEED!" Chris yells.

More and more people rush into the stadium. People recording and cheering. I could hear Kyutie's name being spoken everywhere. Kyutie stands, barely breaking a sweat.

"For sure can't beat you in a race!" Chris pats Kyutie on the back.

"Go ahead and give that rank 1 badge to Kyutie, fam!" Mezy messes around. Arianna smiles heavily and takes Kyutie by the hands.

"She was tough," I say.

"Trust me, we know," Arianna replied.

"Good match." I hold out my fist.

Kyutie bumps it.

"GG," she replied.

She certainly lived up to her power. Her speed was no joke.
