Mr. Adam smiled as he pulled the other two papers from his pocket.
"The next match will be Allura vs. Nicole. Please head to the arena." Mr. Adam announced while smiling more expansive as he waited for them.
Allura and Nicole obliged and walked to the arena before arriving and standing still once they reached opposite ends of the arena. Nicole had short red hair and green eyes that seemed to hide a faint bloodlust within. She wore her gauntlets and smiled slightly.
'This will be tough for Allura. It will be difficult to disarm Nicole.' Natasha thought as she watched.
"You may begin fighting." Mr. Adam announced as he sat down on the ground.
Nicole ran towards Allura, and while she did, she kept her hands balled up and in front of her and looked at Allura solemnly.
Allura ran at Nicole as she aimed and pierced at her wrist, trying to probe her defenses.
"Hmph!" Nicole snorted as she punched Allura's rapier head-on. She felt that this battle might be difficult but not impossible.
Allura frowned as she sidestepped and stopped her attack before she attacked Nicole's left arm. However, this didn't work out well, as Nicole tackled her side before spinning around and punching her in the face three times.
"I will win this request." Nicole stated darkly before trying to punch again.
Allura rolled out of the way just in time as she quickly got back up and sidestepped to the right, avoiding Nicole's next punch before she started her barrage of attacks toward her.
"You should give up!" Nicole warned while smiling and blocking the attacks with her gauntlets before kicking Allura in the knee and punching her face. Subsequently, her bloodlust grew as she looked at Allura ferociously.
"Ugh!" Allura yelled as she backed away before she ran at Nicole again, as her expression turned ugly while blood dripped from her lip and nose. She felt dizzy and lightheaded as she gritted her teeth.
Nicole then jumped at Allura with a smile as she began to punch again from the side, though it missed. However, she kneeled and twisted 90 degrees blocking an attack from Allura perfectly using her right gauntlet before spinning around and punching Allura's rapier to the side.
'Oh no, Allura's losing. No, you can beat Nicole Allura!' Natasha cheered in her mind as she saw the battle.
Allura activated her technique as she was desperate to win now, and her rapier began heating up quickly as she did so.
"I will win this request, and no one can stop me!" Nicole proclaimed as she smiled bloodthirstily before punching Allura's rapier to the side again before dashing to the front and punching Allura hard, cracking her arm bone.
"No!" Allura yelled in agony as her eyes widened. While she felt her bone break before being pushed to the ground.
"I will not lose. I'll never!" Nicole yelled, lost in bloodlust, as she dragged Allura across the ground by her arm.
"Please, I concede, Nicole. Ah!" Allura pleaded as she tried to hold her hand up to tell Nicole to stop.
"In this competition, there will only be one!" Nicole yelled as her bloodlust became visible. She pushed Allura over, picked up the rapier, held it with both hands, and aimed it at Allura's heart.
"No, Allura!" Natasha yelled as she began to cry, hoping Mr. Adam could save her life.
Mr. Adam quickly arrived as he knocked out Nicole and had an ugly expression on his face.
"This competition has ended, and Natasha and Allura can request me something. And so can Hendrix. However, this will happen tomorrow. Please head back to your dorms while I handle this." Mr. Adam instructed as he looked at the other students watching with narrowed eyes.
The other students nodded and left quickly. At the same time, the nurses picked up Allura and placed her on the stretcher before leaving the premise. After this, Mr. Adam called security, and they quickly took Nicole away.
"Every year, there is a serious injury. Now a possible death! Why!? I placed training weapons, and yet it isn't enough!" Mr. Adam's yelled while he clenched his hands, and veins appeared on his neck.
Hendrix POV
Hendrix sat on a chair by himself in the common room of the dorms contemplating his next move. He knew what he wanted, but he didn't know if his request was enough.
"Hendrix, Valentina! Allura is seriously injured!" Natasha yelled with tears in her eyes as she sat on a couch.
Valentina opened her door and arrived in the common room after hearing what Natasha said.
"What happened?! Did Theodore cause this?!" Valentina asked, hoping this was not the case. She thought Allura was in a condition similar to Hendrix's past one.
Hendrix looked over with his remaining eye and sighed.
"Who caused it then?" Hendrix asked with a fake shocked face, not wanting anyone to know he didn't care.
"Nicole did. She almost killed her. Let's hurry and see Allura!" Natasha yelled as she continued to cry.
"Alright, let's go! Hendrix, do you want to come?" Valentina asked.
"Why not? I should check up on her too." Hendrix neutrally replied as he got up and grabbed his cane, and began to walk to the door slowly.
Valentina, Natasha, and Hendrix departed and headed toward the medical ward. Once they arrived, they asked a nurse for directions.
"Valentina is currently having surgery done to her arms. You can come inside after her surgery." A nurse warned before sighing while holding a binder filled with documents.
"Thank you, we'll wait outside the room then." Natasha thanked her as she sat down in the waiting room on a couch.
Valentina and Hendrix followed suit and sat down in other places within. However, Valentina got up and pleasantly hugged Natasha.
{This is a little sad, though I know you don't feel sympathy, right, Hendrix?}
'Your correct, Ackalon. I have none for any human. No one saved me from my horrors, so why should I care.' Hendrix thought, remembering his torment, and shivered a bit.
{Oh dear, when you sleep tonight, ill comfort you some more.}
'Thanks, Ackalon.'
{You're welcome, Hendrix.}
