Tammy and Pearl had been best friends since their first day at Crockel Academy, they weren't childhood friends nor had they known each other before coming to the school but one thing brought them together and that was a day when one of their classmates tried to molest a girl in the class because she had refused to talk to him.
Sure there was no way he would try that if a teacher was in the class but the class was practically empty which made him make his move but he had forgotten that there were two more girls in the class.
They weren't sitting close to each other but both of them had their eye on the scene playing out in front of them.
The boy pushed the girl back on her seat as she tried to walk out on him.
"Hey what's your problem!" The girl said slumping back on her seat.
"Problem." The boy chuckled.
He dropped his head on her desk looking at her face, then his eyes slowly made it's way to her chest, she had removed her jacket when class was over. The boy was staring at her cleavage and eventually licked his lips, off course this didn't go unnoticed by the girl who quickly hit him on the face with a thick note.
"You pervert!"
The boy pulled his head up, touching his nose as he could feel the blood running down his nose.
"Why did you that?" He quickly grabbed the girl's arm, his annoyance was clear in his voice.
"Hey let go!" The girl screamed.
"You hit me with this so I should return the favor." He said grabbing the book from her.
It was at this point that Tammy had intervened, she just couldn't bear sitting and watching a girl being bullied by a boy, but he wasn't the only one who had that thought as Pearl had also intervened.
Thomas was a huge boy blessed with a nice body which many people would be afraid of in their class, so he wasn't afraid when the two girls came at him but he forgot that a nice body couldn't make up for skill and strength.
He couldn't even get one hit in as the two girls tortured him with their speed, fist, and kicks.
After that day the two girls bonded because they had similar fighting styles and Thomas well let's say he was a little bit cautious of girls from that day onwards.
**************
The two girls were busy having a nice chat in their dorm room when Tammy suddenly fell to the floor with her hand on her chest.
"What's wrong Tammy?" Pearl asked giving her friend a worried but confused look.
"My soul weapon." Tammy managed to say.
"What about your soul weapon?"
"It's been destroyed."
"Huh?"
Pearl was wondering if Tammy was in her right senses because there was no way her soul weapon would be destroyed while she was here doing nothing.
"I don't mean my primary soul weapon, I mean the other one, I gave it to Luis but there was no way it could have gotten destroyed in a little training. I think he's in trouble."
Pearl had forgotten that her best friend had been special enough to have two soul weapons, but why did she give it to Luis?
"Come on I can still find him before the sword vanishes," Tammy said walking towards the door, the pain in her chest seemed to have stopped or lessened.
"Ok," Pearl said and followed behind her.
Tammy had followed the remaining energy of her broken soul weapon, she was surprised that it was leading them outside school, into the woods.
"Are you sure you know where we are going?" Pearl asked a few minutes after they had entered the forest area.
Tammy didn't reply as she kept looking ahead and that was when Pearl caught sight of what she was looking at.
"Oh no!"
Tammy didn't waste time summoning her daggers and using them to stop George's fist before it could reach Luis and at that time Luis had muttered something and passed out, no one heard what he said apart from Tammy but she thought it was just desperation talk.
Tammy didn't even need to push George back as he jumped back creating a distance between the both of them.
"What are you doing here?" He was trying his best to appear less startled.
"I knew you were a jerk," Tammy said shaking her head and turning towards Luis who had blood running through his mouth. "But this."
"He was the one that started it by attacking us."
It looked George was trying to give Tammy an explanation instead of being his arrogantly confident self.
'Is he afraid of her?' Zach thought noticing his boss' change in attitude.
"There's no way he would just attack the four of you," Tammy said.
She looked at Luis and beside him, her broken sword started to turn into red dust which the wind blew away.
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" George with a smirk as he looked at a passed-out Luis.
The next second a splash of water came from Tammy's side and went straight for one of the boys with Zach, it hit him on the face knocking him out cold.
The other boy seeing his friend knocked out cold with just one strike was panicking, even he couldn't do that with his water ability, the same thing could be said for Zach who had a worried look on his face but George managed to keep his composure.
Pearl was about to perform another water attack but Tammy held her hand stopping her, her hands were vibrating.
When George had smirked telling Tammy to ask someone who wasn't conscious something in her head had switched off and she decided to just give him a test of what he was going up against. She knew that if she hit George it wasn't going to knock him out but still make an effect so he decided to target the weak ones at the back first.
But Tammy didn't want to get into a fight, she could clearly beat the crap out of George but she didn't want to resort to violence when there was another way of solving things.
"We will report this to the teachers." She said.
"Ha. You don't exactly have any proof against us, do you? It's your word against ours." George said. "Let's get out of here." He turned to Zach and said which he agreed to with a nod.
Pearl wanted to go after them and teach them a lesson for hurting her best friend's cousin, but she knew that wouldn't be the best action and Tammy wouldn't want to do that.
Just as George was about to leave with his men they saw three people rushing into the forest.
Two girls were running up ahead while a boy was keeping up from behind while panting.
"How do they have so much stamina?"
Dylan stopped to observe his surrounding as he could see that Ella had run to Luis ignoring the people who were already there.
"Luis!" She called raising her head. "What happened to him?" Ella asked looking at the two girls.
And now it had just hit them how stupid they were for not checking up on Luis first, they weren't even sure he was alive up till now but Tammy had seen him before he passed out.
Tammy turned his gaze towards George and his group who were leaving the forest now.
"We have to take him to the clinic," Ella said gesturing for Silvia to come to help her which she did.
'Isn't that the wonder warrior?' Tammy and Pearl wondered as they watched Ella and Silvia walk out of the forest supporting Luis on their shoulders, it was a strange thing to see girls do.
Dylan hadn't even been able to do anything because he was too tired from running and decided to follow the two girls.
***************
Luis woke up feeling a heavy pain in his head.
'What happened?' He thought.
Suddenly images of everything that happened recently started to flood through his brain up till the point where Tammy had arrived and he had passed out.
'That bastard, I should have roasted him when I had the chance.'
Luis noticed that there was something on his lap but he couldn't see what because the room was partially dark.
Trying to get up he realized that it was a person's head, but whose?
Noticing Luis get up Ella got up from his legs rubbing her eyes and that was when Luis could see her face.
'What is she doing here?'
"You are awake." She smiled.
"Yeah, and where am I," Luis asked looking around the partially dark room.
Ella explained everything to him including how she had found him and brought him to the clinic.
'She was this worried about me, but why?' Luis never believed that someone who didn't know him that well will ever look out for him up to the point of staying with him until he woke up.
"Thank you." He said.
The nurse later came in and turned on the lights, she was happy to see that Luis was okay and after giving him some drugs told him that he was going to spend the night there.
After making sure that Luis was okay Ella left leaving Luis to check out some things.

That was all Luis needed to know about the new skill, looking at it now he knew it was kinda worth what he went through, with this new skill he would be able to increase his stats and put up a fight next time. He wanted to test out the skill but there was nothing to test it on so he decided to leave it until tomorrow.
Another thing Luis was happy about was that his little scuffle earlier had granted him enough exp and he just needed ten more to level up, his daily quest of eight hours of sleep would do the trick.
Luis was unaware that his eighth hour of sleep was almost complete due to him passing out earlier.
He watched the clock as it struck twelve midnight and that was when he received a message.

"Evo what?" Luis said.
He could feel his bones and all the tissues in his body breaking down, it was a painful experience and he tried his best not to scream in order not to startle Serene.
