"You know we don't have to fight." "Don't coward out of it now. You're a nobody and I'll make sure you understand that in your dense big head." After stating this he used his power and zoom around me and punched me occasionally. He was too quick to read or even counter. I had no choice but to let him beat me to the floor as blood flowed from my mouth. "Pitiful, you couldn't even land a single blow on me. You don't deserve to have a power you useless weakling." That triggered something inside of me. I rose to my feet and looked at him with an expression of anger on my face.
"With this power, I'll carry on my parents' legacy especially my mother's. I'm not useless or a weakling. You might be stronger than I am but I'll make sure I get stronger and learn how to use my power more effectively in the future. Because of my goal, I won't ever give up because someone stronger says I'm a nobody." "I'll show you you're not even a nobody." He did the same thing but before he struck, I dodged at the last possible moment and struck him. He was puzzled but thought it was a lucky blow so he did the same thing again but this time I countered it with a kick.
I then used my powers to throw him in the air and back down in the ground. He didn't like being thrown around at all and elbowed me in the stomach. He then blasted me with lightning. With my body exposed to lightning, I couldn't move as fast as I could but with my newly acquired hypermotility, I was able to keep up with him. Blow after blow this fight became a war of attrition. He tried to punch me in the face but I caught his punch and threw him to the ground and got on top of him. "Looks like you lost Blake." He sparked me with electricity and struck me off of him.
As soon as he got to his feet, he got on top of me and punched me relentlessly. I kicked him off me and punched him to the ground and then punched him without holding back. The momentum of the battle switched multiple times as we both were losing stamina till; I fell to the ground and lost consciousness. "How dare that weakling reduce me to a state like this. He got his power just yesterday but yet put up a bigger fight than most of the children in this school." he thought to himself. "From now on the only person you're allowed to lose to is me." he stated before leaving without talking to his sister.
Emily rushed to my aid and started hauling me over to the school's nurse. She's gotten into a fight again huh. But who beat him up like this?" "Blake. He sparred with Blake." "Geez, he should know that Blake doesn't play around. I'll start treating him so wait outside." She left the room and for the rest of lunch she sat outside the door waiting for me to leave the nurse but I didn't and lunch ended. She headed to class, informing teachers why j was absent from classes. At the last class, I appeared all patched up and sat in my seat with everyone staring at me.
They all witnessed the fight from afar. They were shocked that I was not only able to hit Blake but bruise him seriously. Their eyes were finally opened to my strength. Ever since that day they treated me with respect. No more ambushing or assaulting happened and I was glad to see that come to fruition. Even if it didn't stop, I would have pummeled them using what I learned from my dad's training sessions. Each day when I arrive home, he would spare with me and teach me how to use my power. Soon I was strong enough to beat any student even Blake.
With the upcoming academy exams, I was prepared to excel. When the participation sheets were passed around, I signed up and started Blake down. He had become my rival and I swore to surpass him. He began training as well. After our fight, he more vigorously trained. He wanted results more than anything. He was ready to break his body for results. One day when I walked with Emily to our training spot, we saw how relentlessly he trained. It inspired us to train even harder. We prepared for the exams and we were confident that we would ace them.
The day of the exams arrived and I almost overslept. I was extremely tired after all the training I did the day before. The first part of the exams was a theoretical portion. We sat down and took our tests. I had faith that I passed but I knew that I didn't excel. After the tests, we waited for the results to be sent to us. Participants with less than fifty percent would be eliminated so tension was through the air. Soon the results were emailed to us and u got sixty-five percent so I was content. Emily had a ninety-three percentage so she was ecstatic. Blake scored the highest with a ninety-seven percentile.
Knowing that I passed the theoretical portion, I began training while I waited for the physical part of the exam. With a lower score than Blake, I knew I had to do better in the physical part. The others conserved their stamina but I did the opposite and spent it training. The rules of the exam were explained. Everyone was given a badge. If you have your badge at the end of the exam it is worthless fifty points. If you steal someone's badge it's worth twenty-five points. To pass the exam you need one hundred points in a half-hour.
I was targeted at the start because they thought I would be tired but that turned out in my favor. I gained enough points to pass the exam after stealing my pursuers' badges. That was my plan along. I wanted others to fight me so I can put them down. It was fun and all I had to do was evade the others for twenty more minutes. I then met up with Emily who also had enough points to pass. We teamed up and protected each other from ambushes. Together we were a great team so we both ended up passing. I had two hundred points and Emily had one hundred and fifty points. Unfortunately, Blake gained five hundred points as he hunted for me but couldn't find me.
