Chapter 10: School Tournament - Part 2 (1/2)
People were agitated. After all, the best player was using weights and yet he was still so fast that the other students couldn't keep up.
The whistle blew and the game continued, but Elijah's, already despondent, team now felt humiliated.
Amon passed the ball a few times, but his team itself wasn't good and they only managed to score 10 points with luck; the rest of the 100 points were all scored by him alone. The opposing team barely managed to run and throw to each other until they got to the opposing side of the field and scored a lucky 3-point basket.
The final result was 110 for class 303 and 3 for class 301.
Elijah had a lump in his throat, he had never felt so angry in his life.
The other team that played against Amon's team lost too, it was just as bad as Elijah's, 115 to 5.
At least they managed to score 5 points.
They gave it they're all in this game.
Then they made fun of class 301 who thought they were the best.
Meanwhile, the joy in class 303 was at its height.
”Next is the long-awaited martial arts tournament. Just warning you, Unlike genetics and martial arts, weapons are not allowed, let alone attacks. If I find out that anyone tried to kill their classmate, they will be expelled from school!” The director said in an authoritative voice.
The match was decided by drawing lots, the first name drawn was Laura Miller of class 301 against Samuel Smith of class 303.
It was as if the rival classes met, the stadium was round and made of huge white tiles.
The referee took the microphone and said, ”The intercollegiate martial arts tournament will now begin. The first participants are Laura Miller from Class 301 against Samuel Smith from Class 303. At my signal, let the fight begin.”
Laura shouted, ”Earth thorns!”
Samuel managed to dodge the spikes of earth, and pointed his hand at her: ”Burning wind!”
Laura wasn't quick enough and was buffeted by the wind and flung out of the arena with part of her clothing burned. With a furious look, she cursed Samuel, but she knew how to lose with grace and left right away.
”The first to be drawn was Maisa Queiroz from class 303 against... Pedro Henrique from class 301. My god, are these two classes destined to face each other?” The referee made a bad joke, but only some were foolish enough to laugh.
Maisa climbed into the arena. Pedro looked at her and said with a gentleman's smile: ”Beautiful Maisa, I don't want to hurt you, so can you please give up?”
Pedro Henrique was almost 200 cm tall, with fair skin, blue eyes, and a bodybuilder's body. He was a narcissist and thought that even the flower of the countryside, Maisa, would fall for his charms if he tried, and now he was showing his 'kindness' by letting her give up.
”Let the fight begin.” The referee yelled.
”Water bullet!” Maisa wasted no time and cast a water attack. It was so fast that it caught Pedro off guard.
”Ahhhhh!”
”Water bullet! Water bullet!” Very quickly, Maisa conjured two more water bullets in a row, it didn't have as much power as a single attack, but it hurt a lot.
And Maisa's accuracy was high, she was from the archery club after all.
The three water bullets hit the same place, and blood began to flow from the boy's shoulder.
”My, my blood?” The narcissistic boy couldn't stand to see his own blood and passed out.
”The winner is Maisa Queiroz!” the announcement referee to confirm that Pedro passed out.
”Next one is… Maisa Queiroz from class 303 again, she can choose to rest 30 minutes before starting. In the meantime let's see who her opponent will be… Elijah Ferreira from class 301. My god, it seems these two classes really are destined for a face off.” The referee made another bad joke, but only some laughed again, foolishly.
”I give up, I'm not going to fight this pervert. He is going to take the opportunity to run his hands over me. I'm out~” Maisa knew she couldn't beat Elijah, but she didn't like him one bit and inevitably came up with a good excuse to give up.
Some looked at Elijah who climbed into the arena awkwardly, while others laughed at him. Elijah clenched his fists tightly and stormed out of the arena.
With that, Elijah won a victory, even the referee was a little embarrassed when announcing the winner: ”The winner is Elijah Ferreira...”
The audience didn't even react.
”Well, back to the tournament, the next one is... Claudio Nazário from the 303 class and let's see who your opponent will be... Amon Tang, also from the 303 class!” The referee announced and the crowd went wild, Amon has already made a name for himself in the other two sports tournaments. Now it's going to be the first time they'll see him fight.
”Errr…Amon, take it easy with me. I'm not going to give up, even though I don't think I'm going to win…” Claudio bit his tongue at the end, and couldn't even say something encouraging.
”Okay.” Amon entered the arena with his hands in his pockets and looked at Claudio indifferently.
”Let the fight begin.” The referee yelled.
Amon took exactly 2 steps. With the first one he arrived in the middle of the arena, the second one, he arrived in front of Claudio.
Claudio looked lost and agitated, he was about to conjure fire, his arms already showed red lines from the fire genes circling towards his hand, but, before he realized it, Amon was already in front of him.
