After having their breakfast, Ivan and his friends immediately left for their next training that was to be held in the class section.
They entered the section and began to look for the place, every door that they passed had a plaque on it which had the name of what that class was used for on it.
Finally, after two minutes, they came across the first door with the words "combat training" written on it and they entered.
What appeared in front of their eyes was a large room that was the size of two basketball courts combined and it was completely empty without a single piece of furniture, only the people inside showed they this room was actually in use.
Currently, aside from Ivan, Glen, and Ralph, there were the five repeaters who were Luke, Sommy, another girl who they did not know and two other boys.
Also standing with her back resting on the wall of the room was the cold faced Miss Elora in her well fitting black uniform, the skirt of her uniform stopped above her knees while a pair of black hose ran from under her skirt into her long black boot; she looked incredibly compelling that Ivan couldn't help but stare at her without restraint.
As if feeling his gaze, Miss Elora raised her head and shot a cold glare at Ivan which caused him to quickly look away. The three of them moved to the side to wait just like everyone else since they did not know what else to do.
While they waited, Ralph and Ivan took the chance to observe the five repeaters. For one thing, the five of them didn't look like they were familiar with each other as they stood separately from one another.
They were already familiar with the red haired Luke and the somewhat friendly Sommy, who left three repeaters.
Standing opposite them on the other side of the large room was a petite girl with shoulder length brown hair and a short bang covering her forehead. She had a small round face that was somewhat cute but her eyes were half closed yet Ivan and Ralph could see those sharp yellow pupils gazing back at them.
They gulped and quickly looked towards the next person, standing ten meters away from the petite girl was a dude who was more than two meters tall and had a very buffed figure with wide shoulders on which he hung the jacket of his tracksuit. His gray T-shirt glued tightly to his body and perfectly outlined his bulging muscles and well defined abs, he had a serious look on his face with two sharp eyebrows resting above two closed eyes. Also, he was bold.
Ivan could not help but stare at this guy in amazement as he had never seen anyone with such a figure before, he looked like a small giant while his bald head added a bit of innocence to his scary look.
Moving their eyes to look at the last of the repeaters, they saw a boy with normal height yet he looked abnormal to them; for some reason, they found this boy more scary than the previous dude.
First was how his black hair fell all over his face and acted as a shade for his eyes. They wondered if he was able to see like that. Another reason was the ominous aura that they were feeling from this boy. He had the height of a normal person, standing at a 1.70 meter height but he gave people the feeling that he was staring down on them; like literally looking down at someone tiny.
'So these are the repeaters? They all look extraordinary in their own ways. I wonder how those who passed would look like by now and how did they fail to pass? They all look strong' Ivan wondered, he tried to imagine how he would be at the end of the six months training. Would he look as impressive as them? Would he pass or repeat?
'No! I can't think of that, no matter what, I have to pass! If it means increasing my training then I'll train more than anyone else!' Ivan thought to himself while clenching his fist, his fighting spirit blazed within him.
This small action of Ivan's caught Miss Elora's attention and she glanced at him through the side of her eyes before looking away the next moment.
They waited for a while as more and more trainees entered the room, the room soon had about a hundred trainees who still looked dead tired from the morning training.
At this point, Miss Elora finally lifted herself from the wall and walked toward the door. She opened it and came face to face with a trainee who was about to open the door. Behind the trainee were many other trainees who were chatting with one another.
"This place is filled up, find another place" she said bluntly before slamming the door shot on the trainee's face.
After telling the trainees to go look for the other combat training classrooms, Miss Elora walked to the front of the many trainees in the room and she immediately got their attention as they all turned to look toward her.
After a quick scan of the trainees with her eyes, Elora slowly opened her mouth and said.
"For the next months that you'll be here, this will be your classroom for learning hand to hand combat from me. Lateness will not be tolerated so make sure to be here by 7:30 every morning, we will now begin"
Miss Elora's explanation was short and straight to the point, she did not elaborate more than needed as she immediately got the trainees to distance themselves from one another to avoid any incidents during the training.
The trainees followed her instructions and were now standing in neat rows while facing her, excluding the five repeaters, they were all still standing in their previous positions and acted like whatever was going on did not concern them.
Elora's face showed a frown when she saw this, she looked at all five of them before saying.
"What is the meaning of this? Why aren't you doing as instructed?" Her voice was laced with slight irritation.
"Why do we have to join? We already went through this and are far better than these bunch of newbies. Besides, you are only a few years older than us, do you think that you're qualified to teach us?"
Luke replied to Elora's questions, he was visibly annoyed to be here.
Elora stared at him upon hearing his words, her eyes piercing cold like a glint on a sharp knife.
"You think you are better than them? Why didn't you pass with your bunch then? And if I'm unqualified to teach you? Why don't you come try me?" Elora muttered back in anger.
Luke was a hot tempered guy so when Elora hit his sour spot with her words, he was already starting to tremble from anger. Getting the invitation to show his skill was like an opportunity to vent his anger, he immediately matched forward and faced Elora.
Luke took a fighting stance while Elora remained standing calmly as before, she didn't seem to take Luke seriously despite how close they looked in age.
Luke raised an eyebrow seeing how calm Elora seemed to be taking this challenge, his anger erupted like a volcano as he dashed toward her while shouting.
"You'll regret this!"
Luke shouted as he arrived in front of Elora in a matter of seconds, his fist tore through the wind and headed for her face.
Elora calmly stepped to the side, dodging Luke's punch. Luke immediately reacted after missing his attack and losing balance, he used the force to launch himself into a spiral spin and sent a flying kick toward Elora who once again stepped out of range of Luke's leg.
Immediately after landing on the ground, Luke rushed at Elora again and sent another attack. Strike after strike were aimed at Elora but she easily dodged them all no matter how fast or how close Luke was, she was always faster and able to calmly dodge it without changing her expression or moving an arm.
This went on for a whole minute as Elora danced around Luke, easily dodging all of his attacks. Luke was on the verge of erupting, he felt that Elora was purposely making fun of him in front of the new trainees.
"Are you just going to keep running away? Fight back if you dare!" Luke growled angrily after failing to hit Elora once more.
Elora raised an eyebrow at Luke's words and replied with a faint "Alright"
Luke came at her again with a rotating elbow slam, this time she did not dodge. She blocked his elbow with her palm while at the same time slamming her other palm into Luke's rib.
"Kikh!"
Luke made a painful sound but refused to give up after getting hit, he pulled back slightly before sending a swipe with the side of his fingers but before his hand could touch Elora, she poked his shoulder, arm, and rib once more in fast and fluent movements.
Luke only felt a wave of pain and paralysis before his vision suddenly turned.
BAM!!
His back slammed heavily into the ground and he was currently looking at the bewildered trainees upside down.
He felt shameful and wished to disappear but the pain he was feeling currently made him temporarily unable to move.
Elora stood beside Luke and stared right at the remaining four repeaters.
"You were asked to repeat the training because you were not good enough, that means you have to go through everything again. Now stand in line unless you want to know if I'm qualified to teach you or not" she said to them in a cold voice.
Aside from Sommy, the other three stared at her for a few seconds before sluggishly moving to stand with the other trainees. Luke was helped up by some trainees after the paralyzing effect wore out.
At the side of the room, Ivan looked at everything that had happened with sparkling eyes. He had guessed that Elora was strong enough to be able to wear the black uniform despite being around their age but he did not expect her to be so impressive. She had easily subdued the arrogant Luke in a few moves!
This was strength, this was what he wanted!
Wave of excitement rushed through Ivan's body, he could not wait for the training to start!
