Chapter 3 - Injured

Huh..

He snapped from his daze, he looked around him and about a hundred pare of eyes were staring at him.

Yeah! that's me Jacob replied

Since you are the only one that hasn't pared to fight with anyone so, you will fight Dame since no one wants to spar with him.

As the instructor said that; everyone started looking at him with pity, Jacob doesn't know who is Dame so he remained ignorant of who he is facing.

Not until Timmy approached him and whispered in his ear.

Jacob face grew pale the more he listened as Dame was the strongest in the dormant school of classroom B.

Jacob saw a huge shadow of a person behind him and all the students immediately quite down, as he turned back he saw a young guy who was unnaturally tall with a huge build, with an indifferent expression staring down at him with contempt, he guess it was Dame

Am I supposed to fight him? Dame asked the instructor. The cold looking man turned to Dame confirming it.

Jacob cried inwardly does this instructor have a beef with me or something, but instructor Becky came to his rescue.

The strength difference is too much we should call off the match! No the male instructor interrupted her; this kid unlike his classmates and have hardly trained or spar with anyone in this school.

So let this be his first match, the male instructor turned to him and Jacob has no choice but to agree...

With their their match being the last, there was a crowd of people watching with some awakened students in the mix.

Jacob picked a long slender sword and walked up to the platform with Dame following later and they both stood opposite to each other.

As Dame watched his body and face he noticed no fear in Jacobs eyes so he agreed to hold back some of his strength not to mess with his confidence.

Let the match begin!

The male instructor said and he started floating some meters in the air gaining the awe of the students.

Jacob with his short black hair stared at Dame that was a shoulder taller than him resolutely, and immediately rushed at him with his long slender sword.

And slashed at him vertically and Dame raised the great sword and meet his sword with a strike of own, Jacob felt the force behind the clash and his momentum was halted and he was pushed back eight meters before he stopped, his arms shaking from the shock.

Jennifer looked at him with worry among the student watching.

Other students were shocked that Jacob was still standing but figured that Dame must be holding back.

Dame give Jacob some seconds of rest and rushed at him quickly and slashed his great sword horizontally which Jacob immediately dodged and reached his back and slashed at him, and with incredible speed for his hight Dame twist his arms and cought his sword and Jacob quickly jumbed back leaving his sword.

Dame turned and faced him and throw him his sword back which earned some boos from the students.

Dame! Hurry up and end this it's a waste of time.

Dame turned to the crowd and saw a beauty which he know and she acknowledge him to end the fight, Dame turned to Jacob sorry buddy but I got to end this.

And he immediately rushed at Jacob with the intention to end it quick.

As Jacob looked at every student in the crowd and even his friends who had a bored expression he felt and indescribable anger within him which clouded his judgement.

And instead of forfeiting the match he also rushed at Dame with his sword raised high.

Don't do it! Jennifer shouted as she could Sense his state of mind.

As Dame saw Jacob rushing at him with furocity his instincts as a giant took over at the moment and he unconsciously used more strength than he was supposed to use which was stronger than a recently promoted Awaken. But it was too late

Jacob mustered more strength and speed than he know he can and clashed with Dame beast like strength, Jacob felt the force behind Dames strike and he knew he fuked up.

The instructor stared at Jacob with a face filled with malice.

And at that split second Jacob stared at the instructor in the air that was supposed to stop the match before any grave injuries but he knew that if he had forfeited before now this couldn't have happened.

And all the force he throw at Dame was redirected to him with much force, the sword flew from his hands and Jacob flew and crashed into the wall. And he lost consciousness.

And the healers quickly rushed to him to stabilize his condition as a lot of bones were broken in his body and to the healers shock his life force was getting low by the second, and if a stronger healer didn't come in time Jacob was going to die.

Jennifer stared at Jacob dieing body and stood up and walked to him and put a purple pill in his mouth which stabilized his condition.

"Jennifer walked back to her friends Nick, Alicia and Timmy" let's go she said and they immediately went away.

Nick turned to her it was because of you we were still friends with him, we should cut ties with him from today. Jennifer turned to her friends and seeing their faces she went on with it.

I owed his family for helping me when my family needed money the most Jenny said, I've already paid him back for protecting him all this time from bullies in school Nick muttered.

After the awakening we no longer know him...

Seven Days Later... Afternoon

A boy could be seen sleeping on a hospital bed with some bandages and wires on his body.

A red haired girl could be seen crying on the bed sheet where Jacob was sleeping. And a red flower on the side of his bed.

Am sorry for everything Jacob is not like I don't want to be your friend but my parents can't allow it anymore. There are some things I can't say but please Jacob don't ever meet me again she said.

After five minutes of letting herself out Jennifer stood up and reached the door before turning and taking a look at his body before closing the door.

An hour later Jacob woke up feeling dizzy looking at the room he was in and realizing it was the hospital and some unpleasant memories of the fight came to his head before he swat them away.

As he sat down he pressed a button and a nurse immediately came in. Checking his condition she then turned to him you have to stay for some weeks to fully recover.

We're they anyone in this room Jacob asked? Sniffing a familiar scent. Yes, but the person said to remain anonymous she said.

He turned and saw a beautiful red flower.

He was sure it was Jennifer.

Your parents are waiting outside she nurse woman said. Okay call them in Jacob replied.

Shortly later his parents walked in, leave us alone his mother said and the nurse woman went out. And his mother rushed in and gave him a hug gently.

His father brought out a near by chair and sat close to him.

Jacob turned and asked what have been bugging him since he woke up.

And his father and mother turned to each other and his father proceeded to speak that instructor Mr Rogers was my friend some years ago but now he is a mear instructor with me being the cause, as I caught him being involved with doing illegal things.

Which he should be punished with life in prisonment but with my effort he became an instructor.

I can't say much about what he did because it's classified he said.

He used Dame to get his revenge as Dame was under a strong spell that's why he went overboard at the last moment.

The more Jacob hears he became even more shocked.

So forget about that, remember your friend especially Jennifer without her your condition could have been much worst if not for the treasure she fed you when you got injured. So you should thank her when you get better.

As for your other friends don't associate with then anymore they didn't even visit you when you were in coma his father said sternly.

Jacob took a moment to digest all this information. And felt sad his friends had abondoned him at his moment of need.

After some moments of silence he asked; what's the date? O it's the day of Awakening it began since morning, his mother said.

What! Jacob shouted in shock.

Calm down son his father said you can do it tomorrow.

Please I got to go there today Jacob pleaded I want to awaken today.

Alright his father said; we will be there by Night time, he then called the nurse to get him ready before they go.

As his parents left the place, he muttered I'll have to awaken today. He took the flowers and sniffed them as it had a calming effect.
