We just stared at each other eye-to-eye.

"Heart-Eyed Cosplayers?¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯" Tenor Hilton said

"Do not call me that(ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)" I replied

"Hahahahaha! There is no way you just revealed your powers all over the internet! The private school will now know your ability"

"Wait, you didn't watch my fight with Bill ಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ?"

"Oh, oh right that was really, not your powers. But how did you have 2 different kinds of power? Or is it just a cosplay thingy?"

"Yeah, it's just a 'cosplay magic' So back to business, what is your abilitiesಠಿ⁠_⁠ಠ?"

Tenor spawned a small pile of cards on his hand, it is glowing green.

"There are only diamonds in here, the others have other ones and some have mixed ones" he said

He lifted the cards on the air like a telekinesis and it shuffled on its own. Then floated down back to his hand. He took out a card from the top pile and showed it to me. I squinted to see, 2 Diamond.

*Boom*

A sudden shockwave came around him.

"That's what I can do. Diamond of 2, each card has different use or effects, the higher the card doesn't mean the higher it does, it's just random. But there are cards that are hard to get, every time I draw 4 cards, the pile will automatically reshuffle itself which is a pain"

The cards shuffled and the cards stopped glowing, and went to Tenor's hands. He picked up the top card and showed it to me, a Ace Diamond.

"This card will be a common card to get. What it does is when I get this card, I can point it in any direction and it punches the enemy."

He then picked up the next card, Diamond 2.

"You just already have seen what it can do, but it's rare to get"

He picked the next card, 3 Diamond.

"3 of Diamond create a duplicate of me, my duplicate can also shuffle and pick cards, kind of epic for me to get"

"Diamond 4, it heals my wounds but not my energy and stamina, only wounds or fatal wounds. It is Mythical to get"

"Diamond 5, teleports me behind the enemy. It is legendary to get"

"Diamond 6, this card gives me energy on my hands, it's kind of similar to your power, I don't know what you do but it is never ending of the energy after each punch. 40 seconds duration, rare to get. Take note, cards that give me attack abilities and have duration, I need to wait for it's duration to finish before I could make a draw from the pile card again"

"Diamond 7, gain some kind of defense on my body which reflects damages the enemy gives me, 25 seconds duration, this is a defense with duration so I can make a draw from the pile"

"Diamond 8, kind of a bonus card. It only increases my chances of getting Legendary and Mythical"

"Diamond 9, It infinitely increases my defence, yeah like what I said, my defence will be infinite. Like I am immortal and tank whatever attack it is. It has a duration of 1 minute and 30 seconds which is kind of long, chances to get it is Mythical"

"Diamond 10, allows me to make energy bombs from my hand and throw it to the enemy, only 10 seconds duration and rare to get"

"Diamond Jack, allows me to summon a rift or dimensional rift beside me, allowing me to get items from the other side of the dimensional rift. The dimensional rift will go away for 20 seconds along with the item I got. Its chances to get is rare"

"Diamond Queen, it reverse time 7 seconds ago. Legendary card to get"

"And lastly, Diamond King, probably my most best attack card? I can summon hands everywhere from like dimensions, big hands. I can summon them to punch the enemy, grab the enemy, smash the enemy, and a lot more. Its duration is 2 minutes, and surprisingly, it's a Legendary card not a Mythical"

"Hooooo, that is a lot and sound powerful" my Gigantosaurus

"Uhhhh to be honest, I forgot everything he just said" I replied

"So, let's train?" Tenor said

I made a distance from him and stretched.

"Okay, no holding back"

We readied ourselves, I took deep breaths.

"On my mark... 3.... 2..... 1..... Fight!"

I charged up, I charged towards him. His cards glowed green and floated up and it shuffled. It stopped, the most top pile card floated below and went to Tenor's face.

"Oh, a Diamond 10"

"Don't worry, I remember anything he said, I think that's the energy bombs" my Gigantosaurus said

A ball of energy formed on his hand and threw it at me. I ran to the left.

*Bang*

It exploded after touching the ground, making dirt's flew around. I continued running towards him. Tenor makes a big ball of energy with both of his hands. He threw it up in the air, waited for it to come down and kicked it.

The ball of energy travelled fast at me, it touched my chest.

*Bang*

I flew away, and rolled on the ground and landed.

"Damn that hurts"

"10 seconds have passed, run up to him" my Gigantosaurus

I started running as fast as I could, he picked a card in the middle part of the card pile. It floated up and went in front of Tenor's face.

"Diamond King"

"Oooooh, a Legendary card, Diamond King"

"I think that's the one he can summon big hands from dimensions? And be ready, that has a 2 minutes duration" my Gigantosaurus said

He made a motion sign with his hand downwards.

"Above you!" My Gigantosaurus said

I looked up, there is a huge hand coming out of something, maybe the dimension. I rolled to the right, the hand hit the ground making the ground shake. I charged at him, a dimension was summoned in front of me, a hand inside going to come out of the dimensional rift.

I rolled to the right and continued running towards Tenor. During my training with Natie Gin, she teached me how to dance, dance like an animal, dance to dodge and evade attacks.

Hands infinitely summoned on my left, right, front and above. I dodged them rolled left and right sliding and jumping, kept moving my body to avoid getting grabbed by the hands.

*Tick*

Both of my arms and legs are finally half charged, and I finally arrived near him, I swung my right arm at him.

*Bang*

Making him fly to the dirt ground, dirt and particles flew off. He bounced on the ground, now what Blake taught me. I grabbed his leg. Suddenly, Tenor picked up a card from the pile and floated in front of his face.

*Tzut*

Huh? Tenor is far away from me, standing. No, I am the one who is far away from him. Tenor showed his card at me.

A Diamond Queen, the card I kept in my mind, reverses time 7 seconds ago.

"I somehow got 2 Legendary cards in a row, it also eliminated the pain you did to me since it reverses time. Damn, your punch really hurts"

I looked at my right arm, the charge I punched to him was gone.

"Yep, it also eliminates what you did, energy, or attacks I dunno. Kind of worth it to be a Legendary card"

He picked up a card from the pile, I ran up to him. He looked at the card, he then pointed the card at me like a gun.

*Thud*

I suddenly felt a strong punch on my stomach, making me fly away. I landed on the ground and stood up.

"I think that was a Diamond Ace, wherever he points the card everywhere, an invisible punch will be summoned, attacking whoever or whatever is on the way"

The pile of cards floated up and shuffled. Now is my time, I ran up to Tenor. He looked at me, his eyes were full of panick. He panickingly waited for the cards to come down.

I am in front of him now, I breathed out. I readied my body, I used my leg to make my body come to and halt, this is what Ryder taught me, to make me give more damage to the enemy.

"Steady, don't make me fly" Tenor whispered

What does he mean steady? My body steadied, my arm also. I swung my arm.

*Bang*

And punched him on the side of his stomach. Surprisingly, he didn't fly away. Green particles went to the side, the green particles floated back to me, going inside me.

Tenor's mouth is wide open because of the pain, he crouched down and lay down on the ground. That will be... Actually useful, he taught me something.

"Shhhhhiiittt, that hurts, can I have a rest for a bit?"

I nodded

"I'm pretty sure back to your province, this is the kind of pain you all be dealing with to your opponent"

"Yeah, very very very painful"
