Chapter 16 - Duel?

the military academy is very huge, occupying lot's of lands and space in the vast open planet of Euphoria. while the military academy is monstrously huge, the PT stimulation was no joke at all too, also occupying lot's of space in the school's building extending up to several feats high.
the training building was built for many purposes, and can withstand lots of damage thrown at it, but it's main purpose is for the students of the military academy to train themselves. in order to gain battle experiences through duels and also learn to utilize and control their abilities properly.
what the-
"you can't be serious, miss Vivian." drip was speechless as he wasn't expecting the teacher he met a while ago to challenge him to a duel.
he knew she didn't approve of him but he didn't expect her to outright challenge him.
he looked at PT jack with a pleading look hoping he would step into the matter and resolve the issue anyhow.
"ehhm Vivian you can't be serious right... he's just a newbie, and the rules clearly states that a classroom teacher, can't challenge a student to a duel." PT jack said looking at Vivian.
ha. Vivian chuckled lightly as she looked at PT jack clearly stating he misunderstood her.
"it's just a friendly spar between both our students, nothing serious..."
"i can't believe you thought i was the one who was going to fight him... "
drip heaved a sign of relief as she said those words, even tho he was strong he hadn't had much battle experience, and wasn't confident he could last long in a fight with her not to talk of beating her.
but... she continued speaking as looked at drip with a smile which the latter took a step back.
"the duel is between you and a student in my class, f2. about the same level as you, so you don't need to worry much as it will be a fair fight."
"b-but what if i refuse..." drip retorded
"you can't, didn't PT jack explain the rules to you in class or didn't you read the rules in the library?" Vivian replied softly.
drip could've cursed himself out loud right now, for skipping classes
if not he was in the midst of a crowd ...
as he had skipped class on the first day of school and the second, so he guessed PT jack must've explained it on the first or second at most.
and he also hadn't been much of a reader also, as he rarely had time to study, mainly because of his "little problem".
"ok then let's not waste any more time shall we... " she said already walking off the stage with her students following behind.
drip! drip was surprised to see PT jack coming close to him.
"i wanted to wish you luck newbie." he said with a smile.
drip wanted to pounce on pt jack for not helping him out but there's nothing he could do since it was the military's rules not his..
"luck? but do you think luck will help me win the fight, and why did she pick me out of everyone else..."
"ehhm Vivian has her own ways she does her things, she probably just wanted to test you, to know your capability but i know you can win."
"really... why the sudden encouragement, i mean for a minute there i thought you where going to eat me raw..."
"don't be silly newbie am your teacher so you need to win this fight or else people may think class F1 is weak. so you better win..."
"no wonder the sudden encouragement, he must really care about his ego. " drip muttered.
"the duel is starting now PT jack please head off the arena." Vivian yelled from afar.
ok quick tips newbie...
"your opponent is likely to be male, so i would suggest you don't go all out and try to deal in the first strike, let him come to you first so you can study the way he moves and learn his fight pattern."
but wha-
drip was interrupted by miss Vivian who actually came to drag PT jack off the arena as the latter gave him a thumbs up.
drip shook his head as he turned to have a look at the opponent he's about to face.
i-it's a girl...
PT jack also had a shocked expression on his face showing he didn't expect the "turn of events". "shit losing to a guy might be acceptable but losing to a girl is definitely not even tho she's a LV... 08."
"that's nim the LV 08 in class f2..."
"yeah she's really skilled, that drip boy doesn't stand a chance..."
"he should just forefeit now, while he has the chance..."
drip's enhanced hearing was picking up all the information he could get partaining the girl called him.
mummurs were spreading between students of class F1 and F2, concerning the fight about to occur, as other students in the training center didn't even stop to watch dimming the fight unimportant.
looking at the girl she was captivating with her dark wavy hair which reached her waist brown eyes average in height and body.
"ok everyone the duel about to take place is between a student from class F1 and F2, i'll explain the rules so the match can officially begin." she said as she stepped forward.
"the rules are simple you are just meant to fight until one comes out victorious or the latter quits in the match there will be no killing intent once the match seems to be getting out of hand we will step in to stop the fight. understood...?"
the girl just nodded, as she remained in her position staring at drip while the latter also nodded.
"the match will commence in 3, 2, 1, begin..."
the girl immediately charged forward as she was surprisingly fast but not faster than drip, as she proceeded to punch the latter's head to which he avoided by shifting to the side.
she then went to kick drip's head with her left foot as drip could feel the strength in that kick he used his right hand to block the attack momentarily.
his left arm was a little sour from that hit he took as a system notification popped up.
[Hp: 89/100]
"hmm... 3 hp, is it just me or is this girl trying to kill me?" drip thought as he ducked down avoiding a heel kick.
"what's he doing... why isn't he fighting back?" Vivian thought with a perplexed look.
even nim's expression had changed due to drip either just avoiding her attack by ducking down or to the side or just blocking it as frustration was building in her.
"how is he even keeping up with me, isn't he meant to be a level 06..."
"why the hell are you running, just fight me damn it." nim couldn't take it anymore as she yelled at him.
"am afraid i'll hurt you..." he replied, honestly drip was afraid if he went all out he might kill her, or seriously injure her that's why he's been stalling looking for an opening to end the fight quickly.
then i'll help you do the honours. nim said charging forward again with her speed increasing.
"was she holding back, no it doesn't matter i'll have to finish this so she won't get hurt." he thought as got into a fighting stance, she was close to him aiming to knead his chest as she was really fast but drip's movement were faster with him perform a downward kick which disrupted nim's balance causing her to fall downwards with drip pinning her down.
"t-the match is over, drip is the winner." drip didn't even look towards miss Vivian as his eyes were still on nim or so to say "he was on nim."
he noticed Vivian right leg had a fracture as he had used a little much force with the kick but her face was bright red all a suddenly like an overiped red tomato going to burst.
are you okay?
y- yes... c-an you get your hands off my... ch- chest. nim said her face going more brighter red than before.
"oh! a-am so so-rry i didn't realize that was w-here my hands were." embarrassment was written all over his face as he quickly got up attracting numerous looks and whispers.
"that newbie really sure is a pervert." PT jack thought with a smirk heading towards drip with miss Vivian who just glanced at drip for a while before going to check up on nim helping her to the school's nurse.
"well that was something... who would've believed you were a pervert."
"am not!"
"well you sure showed it here, that's no denying."
"i-i didn't realize my hands were there, i mean everything happened so fast the falling and me pinning her." drip wanted to defend himself, but he bit his tongue hard after saying those last words only making the matter worse.
"ha! you should be happy, you've gained the attention of quite some girls, and maybe some popularity."
drip wanted to bury his head right now as his day couldn't just stop getting more awkward at the very least.
******
"arghh that idiot! i'll make sure to repay him for what he... d-did."nim whinced in pain her face red from the pain or who knows?
"hmph! not only did you lose to him, but you also managed to be disgraced in public." miss Vivian said supporting nim to the nurse's office.
"but the the best thing for you to do is recover now...."
"thanks for the help miss Vivian..."
"oh! it's nothing... but what i don't still get, is how did he manage to apply that much strength, in that kick to dislocate your leg." she asked confused.
"i too am confused as you, indeed it is strange for a LV 06 pt trainer... nim said as they arrived at the nurse office."
"i guess i'll have to look into the file of that drip boy..."
upon entering they were greeted by a sweet white curly haired woman, with her hair extending up to her waists, she's wearing the white doctor's coat a bit taller than miss Vivian in her early 20's as her presence was charming.
"Vivian how are you, it's been a while?"
"am ok Nia, i just rushed here to help my student nim you remember here don't you?"
"of course i do you never stopped bragging about your star pupil..."
now Vivian was the one to feel embarrassed as she recalled what happened the few minutes that passed.
"ok let's set her up on the table." they then sat nim on the round metal table, as she closed her eyes and stretched her hands to nim's leg, white mist started to form and enter the leg healing it.
"so what happened to her leg?" Nia asked taking a bandage to wrap nim's leg.
"s-she was i-t was an accidental duel." she lied
"accidental duel... but the two students are meant to be aware, before the fight with at least one class teacher present."
"weren't you there?"
"i was but!..."
"i understand mistakes happen that's the point of duels, so they can learn their mistakes." she said as she touched Vivian on the shoulder cheering her up.
"anyways i sped up the healing process of her leg, and it has healed but not fully so it will take like some time for it to heal naturally by itself." Nia said grabbing some files.
"am heading somewhere now but you guys can stay as long as you want, i mean it is the hospital..." she said with a soft giggle that was so pleasant to the ears of anyone.
"alright see you later." with that she left leaving miss Vivian and nim alone in the hospital building....
"you don't have to wait for me miss Vivian, my leg's already healed i'll join the class shortly."
"no need to worry, i told them to train in the training center for today, so today's basically free for me."
"oh i see.. then i guess we're stuck here together huh mom...."
