9 Hit that dummy (1/2)
All the students were looking at each other. Leonidas display was impressive, especially since most of them had no actual combat training. Noticing the impatience of Mr. Greyson Hera was taking deep breaths trying to muster the courage to step forward.
However, someone beat her to it.
”I'm next!”
Pamella took a few steps forward, staring at the dummy.
”Very good lassie, tell us yer name and show what ye can do,”
Pamella kept looking towards the dummy, and with a frown said
”I'm Pamella, but my friends call me Blue, and teach I have a problem. What I know how to do is based on grapples and throws. I don't know if it will work against something that doesn't move.”
Mr. Greyson nodded and pressed something in a tablet near the wall. The dummy in front of Pamella took two steps forward and threw a punch towards her. Then it reset its arm and punched again. On the third punch, it was clear the dummy was doing the same motion over and over again.
Pamella who was a few steps away from the dummy gave a cocky smile before looking at the teacher
”That's will work, Thanks!”
Mr. Greyson just gave a smile and a nod and watched as she was getting ready to attack. She had one foot to the back and on to the front, holding both of her hands in front of her in different heights. It looked like something out of a kung fu movie, but at the same time, the way she moved her legs reminded Hera of boxers.
Pamella moved closer to the dummy, gauging the distance between her and her target. She was taking her time, making sure not to make any mistakes. Hera saw her arms tense just before she started to move.
In a flash, Pamella grabbed the wrist of the dummy with her left hand, turned her body while positioning her shoulder under the attacker's arm, making her back press to its chest. With a loud scream, she pulled the dummy arm, using its weight to throw the target on the ground.
The dummy hit the floor, making a noise louder than what the spear had just made. The mannequin then got up from the ground and moved back to the position it was before starting to punch the air once again.
”Very good Lassie, 20 points. That's no small feat for a counter,”
Pamella was panting a bit, Hera wasn't sure if it was the pressure of the moment or the move that she just did, but that seemed to take a lot out of the girl.
”Thanks, I guess double my strength is pretty good,” That remark made Mr. Grayson laugh once again
”Pretty good? Yer a goddamn monster lassie, even ah can only increase by a bit over half of my strength, without a skill”
”But she was just kidding, right? Your strength is not 10 is it?” The boy who had made the teacher angry asked
”Yes it is, and I can show it to teach to confirm it.” Pamella said staring at the boy.
”No need lassie, I read all yer files,” Mr. Greyson looked at Hera ”Well, almost all of them,”
Hera felt the rest of the class staring at her. She just realized that the way she showed up made it seem like she was getting special treatment. Which in a way she was, but not like they would think.
”Now, who of ye will go next?”
The students hesitated once again. How could they follow these two monsters?
Hera was still thinking about how she could clear any misunderstandings when she heard Mr. Greyson calling her
”Hera, how about ye show us yer moves?”
She came out of her daze and stared at the teacher. But it was clear she had no other choice. Walking towards the wall, Hera looked at all the weapons there. There was almost any weapon you can think, swords, shields, whips, gauntlets, sickle, even what looked like a battering ram. She looked at them and approached Mr. Greyson.
”I.. I never used any weapons before, and I can't do it with my hands,”
