-He beat you in a fair fight. Get over it.- Said, Lieutenant.
-I want a fight with the usage of our Esper powers. After all, that is what defines this unit.
-What do you think Osir? Do you accept his challenge?
-Whatever.- Said Osir with an empty look in his eyes.
-Okay then. In this fight, you’re allowed to use your Esper powers. Rules remain the same. Begin.
As Lieutenant announced the beginning of the fight, Nolan threw his knife away and raised his fists. This time Osir took a defensive stand with his hands close to his chest. Nolan took one step forward and then fast leap forward. With just one step he was able to close the long gap between them. Nolan went for an uppercut. Osir was able to prepare the block in time but his punch had much more strength than earlier. With that one punch both of Osir’s hands were high in the air.
-I’ve got you now!- Shouted Nolan while preparing for a jab.
If not for the loud announcement Osir wouldn’t be able to avoid that attack. Earlier he thought nothing about Nolan but when he saw the speed of the attack and the power just by feeling the wind from his punch, he recognized Nolan as a threat.
Osir was trying to get a distance between him and Nolan but his opponent wouldn’t let him and before he was able to get away. Nolan threw a punch at him which he barely dodged by spinning. What Nolan wasn’t expecting is that Osir would use that spin to attack him with an elbow.
-Just stop moving for a second!- Shouted Nolan after he checked if his chin was still intact.
-Can’t do.
-Why?!
-Because I don’t want to get hit.
Nolan got down on his knees, ready to make another leap toward Osir. While he was on his knees he noticed how sweaty he was. His vision began to blur and once again Nolan fell face to the ground.
-That trick again? Osir wins! Now cool him a bit. I don’t want him dying of some stroke.
-Yes, sir.- Said Osir as he dragged Nolan back to the line.
The next three fights were fast and one-sided making Momchil Todorov, Karin Todorov, and Gina Giordano the captains. There was one battle that surprised almost all of the class. It was a fight between friends that didn’t hold back their punches.
-Don’t you dare go easy on me Marcel…- Said with a serious face, Julia. She has long black hair and a slim figure. Her eyes are of bright red color.
-Wouldn’t even dare, against you.- Said, Marcel. A boy with short brown hair with shaved sides.
Before Marcel could even get into the fighting stance, Julia threw her knife at him. He stomped the ground and a pillar raised from the ground protecting him from the flying knife. The pillar that protected him became a weapon for Julia. She used it to hide her movement. Marcel realized that and destroyed his pillar to have a full vision of the field. Julia was nowhere to be seen.
If not for the shadows he wouldn’t have noticed her. She was above him with legs ready to kick him. She used his pillar as a cover and platform to jump into the air. He blocked her kick with crossed arms. She was wide open in the air and Marcel took that opportunity. He was going to land a hit if not for the flying knife that appeard from the side. He had to avoid it.
-If not for my earth control you would use those rocks against me.- Said Marcel as he looked at the rubble of the destroyed pillar.
-Did I say I wouldn’t use them?- Said Julia as she grabbed the flying knife right by her head.
-What? I just thought…
Marcel’s talk was stopped by the rock that hit him in the back of the head. At that moment Julia dashed toward him with a knife ready for a strike. A stone pillars rose from the ground trying to hit Julia but she moved swiftly and avoided any danger. Before Marcel could try anything else, Julia tackled him and pinned him down to the ground.
-I won.
-At least this duel was closer than the last one.
-And with this fight, we have seven captains for the squads. Now captains will choose their teammates one by one. Julia. You’ll go first. Who are the two lucky people to fight beside you?- Said, Lieutenant.
-I want Marcel on my team and… Martin.- She said as she pointed at a boy with short black hair and tired eyes.
-I understand you know each other?- Asked Lieutenant.
-Yes. We all come from the same country after all.
-Meanwhile think about the name of the squad. I need to put you in the system. You can change the name any time you want. Next is…
-We already have a name. My father was part of this special force. We’ll be named GROM.
