sses hadn''t started yet as Luis sat on his seat looking at the ckboard while Ace sat on his own seat with his eyes glued to a book on his desk.


    The two were the only ones in the ss until E had walked in along with Silvia.


    "And here I was thinking we were going to be the first ones to make it to ss," E said.


    "Oh hi, E." Ace said.


    "Ace," E said with a nod.


    "Hi, Silvia." Ace said.


    "Thank you." The Wonder warrior said as she walked past him heading for her seat.


    "Thank you," Ace muttered, finding her reply to be an odd one.


    E slowly walked to Luis who didn''t turn even after hearing her voice.


    "Hi, Luis." She said immediately after she had pulled up in front of his desk.


    "Oh, hi E," Luis said.


    "So have you figured out what''s wrong with Dn?" She bent closer to his desk to ask. "Where is he by the way"


    "I haven''t found anything yet but he says he just wants to be quiet," Luis said.


    "And you believed that?" E asked.


    "Not really," Luis said with a wave of his head.


    "Good morning Luis," Orah said behind him, causing E to bring her head up.


    "Good morning E," Orah said with a smile.


    "Morning Orah," E said, smiling back at him.


    "Is your body properly healed now?" Orah asked.


    "My shoulders still feel kinda sour but it''s nothing serious," E said.


    "Ok, I''m d you''re okay," Orah said.


    "Thanks," E said.


    The bell for ss rang as the students began to troop into the ss, that was E''s cue to return to her seat.


    Luis turned back as the students walked into the ss and just like he suspected Dn and his supposed new friend Dn were thest people to walk into the ss.


    He kept his gaze on Dn until he had sat down before turning to face the ckboard.


    Just like yesterday, Nova wasn''t present in the ss which Luis found strange given that she was supposed to be assisting Miss Nicole.


    The lesson periods were being cut short because of the uing and that meant that the students were going to be having lunch after theirbat training in their variousbat sses.


    Luis waited for the bell forbat ss to ring before he made his way to Nicole''s table.


    "Any problem Luis?" Nicole asked.


    "Not really, I was just wondering where Miss Nova is, she wasn''t in ss yesterday and today," Luis said. He just wanted to make sure that she was still working here and something hadn''t happened to her as he still had unfinished business with her.


    "Nova is helping with other things so she won''t be in ss throughout this week," Nicole said.


    "Ok," Luis said as he slowly walked away.


    The martial arts students all headed to theirbat ss together to see that Michael and their mates from the A-ss were already waiting for them there.


    Immediately after everyone had settled down, Michael grabbed his tablet from the seat beside him.


    "ording to yesterday''s fight, we have four people left in the contest who will be facing each other today," Michael said, scrolling through his tablet. "Luis Miles, Orah Smith, Silvia Cane, and Dn Hart."


    "I just hope I don''t get to fight with any of these two weaklings, especially the blonde one," Silvia muttered to herself looking toward Luis and Dn.


    "Ok, here''s how things will go," Michael said. "The first fight will be between Silvia Cane and Dn Hart."


    "You''ve got to be kidding me," Silvia said as she made her way to the middle of the room. "If I beat him, I can still make it to the final and fight the new boy."


    Dn sluggishly made his way to the middle spot and looking at him he didn''t look like he was ready for the fight.


    "If you promise to put up a little fight, I''ll go easy on you," Silvia said immediately after Michael had given them the signal to begin.


    "It''s no use, just knock me out and get it over with," Dn said.


    "You''re saying you''re not going to fight back," Silvia said.


    "Yes," Dn said.


    Silvia stared at him for a while like he wasn''t being serious but the dude was being really serious as he didn''t make any move.


    "That''s it," Silvia said.


    "What?" Michael asked.


    "I am not fighting someone who clearly doesn''t want to fight me, if I do that then it wouldn''t be a fight," Silvia said.


    Michael turned to Dn and was about to say something but before he could say it the teenager had already made it clear he didn''t want to fight.


    "I surrender," Dn said.


    ______ _______


    The contest in the Non-Ability Users ss of Eukerion academy didn''t end yesterday but there were a lot more fights which had seen the best sixteen fighters emerge to the round of sixteen.


    Todd was among the sixteen people without a doubt and so were Natasha and Tania.


    The first fight was called between two students as the both of them stepped into the spot mapped out for the fight and began to have a go at each other.


    It didn''t take up to ten minutes before a winner had emerged between the two as one of the boys was moaning on the floor.


    "Good job Mike." Madam Nelly said, stepping into the spot.


    She held up her list of students in the round of sixteen to call the next pair to face each other.


    "Ok, next up is Natasha Rond versus Bliss Cage." Madam Nelly dered.


    Natasha stepped into the spot with her usual creepy smirk on her face.


    Bliss, a blonde-haired girl who had her hair braided behind her, had slowly stepped up immediately after Natasha had entered the spot. She looked really calm but judging by how herst fight had ended yesterday she could really be dangerous.


    "You think you can do that against me?" Natasha said.


    "I can try," Bliss said, getting in her fighting pose.


    She was the first to attack with a fast kick which Natasha was lucky enough to dodge but she wasn''t two times lucky as the second kick quickly followed hitting her on her jaw and knocking her back.


    She slowly got up as she spat out the blood that had gotten into her mouth.


    "Alright, that does it." She said quickly heading towards Bliss who was being quite cautious.


    She tried to kick Natasha again but the girl seemed to have entered her crazy mode as she grabbed her foot and pulled her to the ground.


    "Your legs are dangerous," Natasha said, holding her to the ground with her leg. "How about we break this one for a change?" She said with her creepy smile as she twisted the leg forcing a scream out of Bliss.


    "Alright, that''s enough Natasha." Madam Nelly said as Natasha immediately let go of her legs.


    "Onto the next round," Natasha said as she walked off the fighting spot but not before finding Tania and giving her a wink.
