Natasha vs Valentina, Hendrix surrenders and Damascus vs Valentina

Mr. Adam pulled out two more papers from his pocket and smiled as he did. He chuckled.

"The next match is Natasha vs. Valentina." Mr. Adam's said, smiling as he looked at both students.

Valentina brought her long sword and shield while Natasha brought her katana, and both walked to the arena with serious expressions. Once they reached the opposite of one another, they waited for Mr. Adam to tell them to begin.

"You may start." Mr. Adam announced while wondering how this fight would go.

Valentina walked a bit into the arena and then took a defensive stance as she waited for an opportunity.

Natasha ran with her katana inside its sheath, and once she was right in front of Valentina. She drew it and swung at Valentina's shield, wanting to cause her to stagger.

Valentina narrowed her eyes while blocking Natasha's swing. Before sighing as she pierced towards Natasha's right hand with her long sword. As she felt she needed to win this no matter what.

Natasha backed away quickly, dodging Valentina's attack, as she swung her katana at Valentina with a flurry of attacks, as she wanted this battle to end as soon as possible.

Valentina blocked and counterattacked Natasha's onslaught. Both students continued to fight one another, not caring for their stamina, both wanting to win badly.

The sounds of metal clanging emanated throughout the gym as they fought with all they had. Eventually, they hit each other's hands and caused a tie. And both combatants passed out.

"It's a tie, so both can fight again later." Mr. Adam announced with a smile.

Many students eliminated others as the first round continued. As this occurred, Hendrix's expression remained the same, though, in his heart, he knew he couldn't win without exposing himself.

Once the first rounds of fights were over, the second round began.

"The first matchup for the second round will be Hendrix vs. Allura." Mr. Adam proclaimed as he looked at Hendrix and Allura.

"I surrender. I give up on this competition." Hendrix stated as he backed away. He felt he had already won to get one request. He didn't need to be greedy here and jeopardize himself.

"Are you sure, Hendrix? You won't be penalized due to your body's situation, but you'll lose your chance to get three requests from me." Mr. Adam questioned with a brow raised.

"Hendrix, let's fight. I'll go easy on you." Allura responded hurriedly, wanting to face him and learn about Hendrix's fighting style.

"No thanks, I already did well enough, passing the first round. Someone else can also get a request." Hendrix replied while shaking his head. He wanted to make his classmates think he did this out of goodwill. He didn't need friends, but he didn't need enemies, either.

"Alright, please leave the gym. Once class ends, you can find me and tell me what you want." Mr. Adam instructed as he kept true to his word about the request.

Hendrix nodded and left the gym on his own, and slowly walked back to the classroom as he planned to wait there until it was time to request what he desired.

Natasha arrived at the gym, and once she was there, Hendrix was nowhere to be found.

"Mr. Adam's, where is Hendrix?" Natasha asked, hopeful she could fight him, even if she had to hold back not to kill him or seriously injure him.

"He surrendered before his match with Allura began and left the gym. Though I'm happy your back." Mr. Adam's explained as he pulled out two names.

Natasha narrowed her eyes after hearing this, wondering what could have made Hendrix surrender without fighting.

"It will be Damascus vs. Valentina." Mr. Adam's said as he watched both students walk towards and stand across from each other in the arena.

Valentina held her shield and longsword once more while Damascus held two daggers in his hands. And both looked at one another with competitive gazes.

"You may begin." Mr. Adam announced as he watched.

Damascus ran towards Valentina in a zigzag pattern while holding his daggers outwards and smiling creepily.

As this occurred, Valentina ran at Damascus and swung her long sword to the right, trying to knock one of his weapons out of his hands.

"Heh, nice try." Damascus said as he backed away and attacked with his right dagger, though it was a feint.

Valentina tried blocking Damascus's feint but realized he was planning this all along and used his other dagger, trying to hit her hand, which was holding the shield.

"No, you don't." Valentina stated as she rolled out of the way just in time and kicked Damascus in the leg before suddenly turning around and widely swinging at him.

Damascus barely blocked Valentina's attack just in time, and both students were in a blade lock and pushed at each other to break it and gain the advantage.

Damascus stopped blocking with his right hand as he struck at Valentina's one holding the long sword with the other. As he did Valentina's cut his hand, he cut hers, and she dropped her longsword while he dropped one of his daggers.

"Valentina, I am willing to do anything to win. As long as it doesn't disobey the rules, please surrender." Damascus suggested, smiling, thinking he won since Valentina only had a shield left, letting his guard down.

"Your wrong, Damascus." Valentina disagreed before running at him and ramming into him, and kicking at his other hand, resulting in him dropping the dagger.

"Valentina wins this round." Mr. Adam proclaimed with a smile.

"Oh well, good fight." Damascus stated to Valentina with a smile and reached out and offered a handshake.

"Likewise Damascus." Valentina replied, smiling and shaking Damascus's hand before letting go.
