Chapter 32
When Jake stepped out to throw the ball, the whole room were shocked especially Harry and the second-years. Meanwhile Peter who was half unconscious earlier woke up fully and he was surprised by Jake stepping forward. Jake caught Peter's gaze, he didn't need to hear the words to know what his friend was thinking.
"You fool! What are you doing? Get back now!" Peter thought in his mind. But Jake's smile was all he could give.
"Don't worry, everything is going to be okay. I'm doing this for you friend." Jake thought smiling.
Then Jake held the ball tightly and focused trying to activate the stone and then he felt a warm energy flowing from him towards the ball and then the ball glowed that it almost illuminated the room.
"Impossible!" Harry exclaimed. "How can a first-year who doesn't have any training in Qi activate the ball to its full potential?"
Jake unaware what this meant, scanned the room properly for what he was about to do next. There were two second-years on either side of the board Peter was tied on and there were also two second-years blocking the entrance. While eight second-years surrounded the whole first-years and finally Harry and two more second years by his side. Making it 15 second-years in total including Harry.
Jake smiled, then he aimed the ball at Peter and waited for the right moment then he swung the ball with full strength and speed that in less than a second, it connected with the board therefore resulting in a loud bang and a hole in the board.
Harry and the other second-years mouths were all left hanging by what they saw while Jake just smiled and bent down to pick another ball and he focused again making it glow bright yellow and he swung it again but this time not with his full strength and it wasn't aimed at Peter instead it was aimed at one of the second-years who stood by Peter's side.
The ball connected with the second-year's stomach making him curl forward while clenching his stomach in pain. Snapping out of their earlier daze, Harry was now furious.
"Attack them!" Harry shouted and immediately the whole room turned chaotic.
The second-years were all attacking the first-years while one of the second year standing beside Harry earlier charged right at Jake to deal with him. Jake waited for the student to get close. When the student got to Jake's position he swung his wooden sword very fast but Jake quickly blocked with his blade but unfortunately, Jake's blade broke.
"Shit! How did my blade break? Isn't it the same materials our blade were made from?" Jake thought worriedly.
Without any weapon on him, it proved difficult to even attack back. All Jake could do was dodge and avoid the second-year's strikes but Jake couldn't dodge forever. He was getting hit in different places causing cuts on his body. Luckily, they were not in anywhere fatal as Jake did a good job protecting his vitals.
Meanwhile the remaining first-years weren't fairing well against the second-years. Only the higher level of the first-years were able to hold them off until they started using Qi therefore tipping the fight into the second-years favor.
"Damn! This guys are too strong. Even me, an unable to do anything against them." Sophia thought while trying to punch a second-year but he dodged it while the second-year kicked her hard in her stomach causing spit and blood to come out of her mouth.
Meanwhile Vynn wasn't doing any good at all. He was unable to do anything against his own opponent, he was getting hit over and over until Kate came over to assist him and then with the two of them, they managed to knock their opponent down quickly moving onto the next opponent.
Peter who was tied up, seeing his friends fighting like that, made him feel sad that he was unable to help. If only he wasn't tied up. Meanwhile, Jake was still having a hard time against his opponent and there was nothing he could do until Zee spoke up.
"Jake! Use your system. They have skills or abilities you don't have and so do you. Use them."
Heeding to Zee's advice, Jake quickly activated his system and activated one of his skills
Jake was now panting hard with his hand on his knees panting due to tiredness and then he saw a shadow in front of him and immediately, a punch landed on Jake's face sending him flying back into the fighting students.
"Crap! Who the hell punched me that hard?" Jake angrily said while standing up but he was feeling quite dizzy.
"Darn it! That person's fist really packed a punch." Jake said while staggering his way back to where he was earlier hit to see who hit him. Standing there with an angry expression on his face, was Harry.
"Oh! So the big bad wolf decided to join in." Jake said already a few feet away from Harry.
Without wasting time, Harry charged at Jake and threw a punch towards his face with a speed that looked inhumane meanwhile Jake barely avoided the hit. Then Jake threw a hook towards Harry's stomach that barely made him flinch.
And then Harry quickly repositioned himself and released a furry of kicks on Jake that Jake was unable to avoid, block or dodge. Therefore leaving Jake helpless, finally, Harry decided to give Jake a breathing space to see how he was holding up. And Harry was surprised to see that Jake was still standing and not unconscious.
"Hmm, you must be really strong or you have a good endurance but too bad you're going against me." Harry said.
To which Jake just spat. "You know, that was the same thing Sebastian said to me before I defeated him. I think history is gonna repeat itself again."
Harry furiously charged right Jake again with full speed and launched a punch towards Jake but he avoided it by using 'The Triple Threat' technique and getting behind Sebastian then he quickly activated
Then Jake moved back a bit to create a bit of space between him and Harry by using 'The Triple Threat' technique but he was shocked by what he could see when he looked up at Harry. The reason for Jake's shock was that Harry was completely okay not even a scratch was on him. It appeared like as if he wasn't even hit.
"I can't believe that this thing called 'Qi' could be useful." Jake thought.
Harry just laughed out loud seeing Jake's facial expression. "Are you shocked? Hahahaha. Too bad you can't do anything against me because, I'm out of your league."
Harry said then he ran towards Jake to Strike him, Jake tried moving away but his legs were refusing to budge.
"Huh! What's going on? Why can't I move?" Jake asked.
"I think, it's because you have used 'The Triple Threat' technique multiple times so it affected your stamina." Zee said.
"Shit shit shit! I'm gonna be hit if I don't move away soon. What do I do?" Jake asked but it was too late for Harry was upon him with a punch towards Jake's face. Which caused Jake to instinctively close his eyes awaiting the hit.
But then Jake heard a shout. "If he's out of your league, then fight with someone who's in your league." The voice said while stopping Harry's fist completely in its track effortlessly.
