Recruiting Mike

In a large room with a ceiling almost 30 meters high. The room had no decorations other than several weapons hanging on the wall, the room was spacious and on the opposite side there was a huge platform with a small square rise.

That was the room (fight / weapon / combat), call your preference. The weapons room was far from the main school building, it was in a separate building. It is a platform magically hidden behind the barrier between the platforms.

To reach the platform, you must walk directly to the barrier that divides the platforms. There is a guard outside the entrance who oversees the entrances and exits of the platform. After going through this platform, you will find yourself in the weapons room.

Standing at the end of the corridor was a blond man with long hair in a ponytail, wearing light armor and a beautiful foil.

The man kept his eyes closed, silent. The room slowly began to fill with students. After a while, the class had about 50 students inside.

The students spread out and started to pick up the weapons of their choice. In this gym you couldn't walk with a gun in your hand, if you wanted to train you had to come to the weapons room, you could also use the training room, but there would be no one to fight you.

Watching how they choose a weapon of their choice, James just remains silent. After they took up the weapons, he started to call the students forward.

"For the first sparring, two people will come up, and we will all watch and comment on what can be improved. Who will go first? Do you have any volunteers?"

In an instant, Leo was the first to raise his hand. Without waiting for James to say anything, he took the stage and waited for his opponent to fight him. He had a chain wrapped around his fists, these were not one of the weapons that were often seen.

After a few seconds, an equally muscular man climbed onto the platform. He had gloves that covered his hands and went up to the elbow. It was made of a strange and resistant material.

"This time I'm going to finish you off, I don't intend to lose again," said the man.

Leo did not take his words seriously, it was not the first time they had a fight and the man always said that. Nodding, Leo assumed his combat position and waited for his opponent to attack.

The man attacked with a straight fist when the fist came towards him. Leo also attacked with a punch that made his fists clash.

With fists in shock, the man attacked with his left fist while retreating with his right before using it again. A shower of punches covered Leo, who responded by finding fist by fist.

A minute passed like that. Using his 'Stone Lion' blessing, it was possible to see Leo's skin change to gray. Turning his body to the side avoiding the blow, he flexes his knees a little and with a push he lowers the center of gravity (CdG) with his fists he gave a hook that hits the target entirely, knocking out the opponent.

...

In the bathroom, after Zyan knocked out the three brothers, he was about to leave when Mike asked.

"Why did you help me?"

"Your eyes, I don't see fear in your eyes." he said.

Looking into his eyes, Mike asked.

"Did you help me because I didn't fear them?"

"I hate people who play 'the' victim. But the reason I helped you was because I'm making a team and I wanted you on it ... I also didn't like those idiots"

He had nothing to hide, so he simply spoke his reasons. Zyan knew that if he didn't want to form a team, he probably would have ignored what was going on here.

"Yes? I can't even use my blessing, there are better people than me ... Why me?"

Looking at Mike who was confused to learn that he wanted him on his team, Zyan decided to show off.

"Ha ha ha ha ... Others may not know your blessing, but 'I' know it ... How about that join me and I will help you with your skill."

"Y-do you know my skill?"

"Heh, it doesn't matter. I'll tell you the requirement for you to use your blessing in return. You join my team, how about it?"

Hearing his words, Mike looked shocked the sooner he passed, he didn't believe Zyan's statement, after all other experts couldn't find his blessing as someone random he just found would know?

Looking at Mike's face, Zyan realized that he didn't seem to be convinced.

"Don't think too much, you don't lose anything at all," Zyan said.

Taking a flask of liquid out of his pocket, Mike drank and his body began to heal. Standing up, he looked him in the eye.

"If you help me with my skill, I will join your team."

Zyan didn't pay much attention to what he said, he was more interested in the liquid that Mike took so he asked.

"Hey what was that"

"Oh, that? Just something my dad did" Mike said as he raised the bottle.

His father did ... A pharmacist probably. Zyan thought before leaving the bathroom.

Upon seeing him leave, Mike followed him while asking about the requirements for using his skill, which Zyan replied with "I'll talk later."
