"There's nothing to be afraid of, it shouldn't be the original gene." Hazel tried to comfort him.
David was taken aback."Who said anything about being afraid?"
"I was only trying to figure out what Demi-God gene the person might possess." David tried to explain but then, he was reminded of who he was talking to, Hazel.
She would tease and humiliate him whatever chance she got which included this moment. He then proceeded to ignore her. Since he couldn't win an argument against her, he would remain silent.
After getting up and then replacing his bloody clothes with the new one, he then turned to leave the sanitarium.
In the stadium, the battle between Class One Strucker and Class Eight Conan was getting more and more intense by the second!
The battle arena reverberated and the wind roared as fire battles against the stormy wind. They both had activated their own supernatural powers and it was the final moment. The result of this showdown would determine the winner of this battle!
Now one had expected for Class Eight to hide such a talented person as Conan. He had fought with all of his strength and was even showing signs of overpowering Strucker!
But then, Strucker seem to have experienced way more battle than his opponent had. With skillful execution, he twisted his hands and the raging fire pouring out from his hands pieced through the stormy wind and blasted against Conan's chest, immediately kicking him out from the arena!
The crowds of students cheered upon watching such an intense battle. And felt pity for the new dark horse. If only he was a little bit experienced, he might have actually won the battle.
"Class One Wins!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe referee then came out to the battle stage. Spreading his hands outwards, he calmly spoke.
"Now, this years battle was particularly more intense and hit blooded than the last few battles I've refereed over the years. And I can tell you that, the next battle, is going to blow your mind!"
The crowds roared in cheer as his words.
"Now now, calm down. Class 15 seem to have being particularly lucky in the past few stages of the match and we're super lucky to have received the Free card in the previous draw, making them sit out the battle. But now... "
"Now... They have no choice but to battle!"
The over enthusiastic crowds screamed for blood as the referee gave his wonderful speech.
"This final battle is between Class 1 and Class 15, such a massive difference in class. It was obvious who would win the battle but then again, Class 15 had fauve us a few surprises over the last few matches which was unexpected."
"Without further delay, let the final opponents come to the stage!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!!"
"Fight!!!"
David breathed out as he heard the shouts in the stadium. Cracking his tensed body, he began to walk out from the stand.
His body movements were stiff and his legs movements were short as though he was a little sick.
The spectators who were screaming for blood instantly had their drive lessened.
"Is this not the guy that got attacked by an instructor? What is he doing here?"
"I heard he died on the way to the Medical Center, I guess he survived?"
"Look at the way he's walking, I don't think he can withstand a single punch from me."
"Who is talking about a punch? The shockwaves from my fist would probably topple him to the ground."
"Seems like Class 15 has given up on this final fight which is why they are sending him here."
Various discussions rose up amongst the spectators as they speculated on the development of the situation at hand.
Even the referee was stunned and didn't know what to do for a second. He had promised the crowds an exciting fight but with what he was seeing, looks like his promise was doomed to fail at its Infancy.
David stiffly walked to the battle stage and as soon as he got there, he was face to face with his opponent, he was slightly astonished.
His opponent was a stunning looking girl with an innocent expression on her face. She was the type of person that looked as though she couldn't hurt a fly no matter how monstrous it seem to be.
Her eyes were glossy and watery as she gazed at him with curiosity. So innocent and pure David's heart almost melted instantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was confused. The girl seem to be just at most 8 or even 7 years old. He was more than twice her age infact. 'What is a girl her age doing at a place like this? David wondered.
"You must be confused." her voice sounded so soft, David really wished he could just forfeit the match and let her win.
But, he had given his word that he would win and he wasn't about to go back on it.
"Yea, I am." David admitted to it.
"You have a strong will. Others would have forfeited the match immediately." The girl's innocent voice sounded out.
"Yeah, I can see why they forfeit. But I'm really not others. Moreover. I gave my word to the instructor that I will win the battle." David stiffly shook his head as though in pity. His body was still in an unbelievable pain it was almost heart wrenching.
He had wondered if he would be able to battle in this situation but now that he had seen his opponent, the worry flew right out the window.
The girl pursed her lips as she glanced at David with a confused look on her face. "You don't know who I am do you?"
"Sorry, this is the first time I'm meeting you." David confessed.
"Oh, I see." The girl nodded with a look of realisation on her face after hearing his words. "It's no wonder you didn't forfeit."
"I'm Lilith by the way." She said with a smile, a smile so pure it dampened the sun it self.
David squinted his eyes as he tried to decipher her meaning but nodded his head in response. "I'm Davi-."
"I can't see through her." Hazel interrupted him. This sentence was very simple. Just a phrase with five words in it. But then, this words made David's heart skip a beat.
