After being beaten repeatedly, Cale and Dante remained on the ground, bruised all over. Newt Reagon, unlike them, still looked very well.
Cale scowled at the man standing over him, while Newt had that annoying calm smile on his face again.
"Aren't you supposed to be the best students? Why are you so weak?" the muscle in Cale's jaw twitched as he asked in surprise.
'I'm sure that bastard asked that on purpose'
"It's ridiculous that you think we can beat you at SS rank!" Dante said under his breath as he looked at Newt.
"You're right, though I didn't use all my power."
"That was a small fraction of your power," Cale laughed soullessly.
"All kidding aside, you're pretty good," Cale and Dante looked at him in disbelief. "Don't look like that, I'm serious. At least you tried to talk back to me. Some people can't even do that."
"How flattering!"
Newt sighed when Cale spoke sarcastically.
