Chapter 17 - Humble.

"Me". Xadia's voice resonated through the room.

"You want me to spar with you a level one, you must be joking". Kale said.

The assertive stern on Xadia's face said differently as he had gotten into a fighting stance, ready for the duel.

"Oh well, at least I'll get to wipe the floor with your face". said Kale with his fist stationed by his face.

Soon all the other duels had stopped and all the students had gathered together ready to witness a precedented defeat from kale, or so they thought.

"What is he doing? Doesn't he know that kale is a level three augmenter, he wouldn't land a single blow". "let's just watch and see".

Soon Kale rushed at Xadia with a fist by his side aiming at Xadia's face, it was at a very fast pace, however, it wasn't as fast as the energy tentacles that Xadia had bested,

moving his head to the side, Xadia dodged the blow.

Not wasting his time processing how Xadia had dodged his blow Kale swung his foot aiming at his opponents thigh, but Xadia could see it coming, a silhouette of energy predicted Kale's attack.

"Hmm, he really is a special one," Paku thought stroking his beard having joined spectating at the duel.

The students were amazed at what they were seeing, not only had Xadia dodged two blows from Kale, he had done so without breaking a sweat, and he was still dodging more of Kale's attacks. "What level is he?". Kale is a level three augmenter, and I've never seen him struggle like this in a fight".

Kale's blood was boiling, he was using all of his power, after Xadia had dodged two of his attacks, he had even started to use the forms he had learned from the holographic screen yet he was losing to a level 1.

"How does it feel, losing to a level one like me, although strength and power are two great things, you should at least learn to be humble". And with that, Xadia threw his fist delivering an uppercut to Kale ending the duel.

Standing up from the wooden floor, Kale stormed out of the room, his footsteps weighing heavy on the floor.

"What just happened, did kale just lose".

"It seems so".

All eyes were now on Xadia, he had defeated the best student in the class and was also at a ridiculous fit.

"Who is he".

"He's that new student in our class". one of the students said having recognized Xadia's sneakers.

Soon the chatter died down, and the students returned to sparring with each other with no one daring to challenge Xadia.

Eventually, the lesson ended, Xadia then made his way to the school shop looking to get an ashe-sonic.

Going through the various sections in the shop, Xadia had found what he wanted and it was in a plastic enclosing.

Moving to the counter, Xadia then placed his hand in the payment port, paying for the item.

Now outside he then started to peel off the plastic enclosure revealing the item. it had the shape and size of a toothbrush but there was no brush, there was only a button at the center of the item that led to an opening atop the ashe-sonic.

Pressing on the button an ash-jell-like substance sifted out of the ashe-sonic.

Putting the substance in his mouth it had begun to spread enveloping his teeth and tongue, a hard substance could be felt in Xadia's mouth.

Pulling out the substance looked to have solidified after absorbing the germs in his mouth, his mouth was now clean as he couldn't feel the gummy plaques that coated his mouth.

"What an invention, beats brushing and scrubbing my teeth". Xadia said delighted.

"I wonder if tyson's done with his lesson, won't hurt if I check him out". Xadia thought heading for the cultivation class.

Suddenly Xadia could feel a quick motion behind him but he was too late, a stake-like rigid object had impaled right through Xadia's stomach and it was made of ice.

Falling to his knee, Xadia gritted his teeth as the pain was overwhelming and unbearable, a figure soon stood in front of him.

"How's this for being humble".

Lifting his head up, Xadia could see who it was.

"Kale?"

A kick came toward Xadia's face knocking him down to the floor, making him lose his senses.
