"Your finally up" tera said to Carlos who just woke up,he had been fast asleep , throughout the time he was washing and cleaning up, " sorry , who are you, and why are you , oh I am in so much soup, wait where are the plates, and why is everywhere so clean" carlos just kept asking he was trying to make sense of what just happened , " I took care of it , you can start by saying thanks to me and your grandpa" tera said to Carlos, "causing tears to fall from Carlos eyes" I knew grandpa loved me , no matter how mean he always is". He had been going through one of the toughest periods of his life and help had come in , making him so emotional , he wanted to hug tera ,who had cleaned up the whole place without getting even one drop on himself, tera quickly sidestepped dodging Carlos attempt at a hug.
"You need a bath and you stink , don't even think about it" tera said to Carlos. "Not even a little hug , side hug " Carlos begged , " no , I am not your mother , neither am I your girlfriend, if you want to thank me get a bath and save me from this smell" tera replied. ." Your punishment is done , let's go, " Tera said .
Tera's shirt was ruined so he was going to have to walk through the campus without shirt, he didn't think it was going to be much of a problem, Carlos was completely dirty from head to toe , walking beside tera only made it more obvious, but he didn't care , he was just happy to be done , and be free, to feel the breeze on his face.
While they were walking, they began to hear a lot murmuring around them, people initially turned to look at the shirtless tera in shock and awe , but their face quickly soured when they saw Carlos and perceived the odor in the air , coming from him, some girls wanted to approach but they were quickly turned off by the smell, so they only snapped pictures with their communicators and shared it with their friends, the news quickly got to derrick and brian ,Brian had since arrived and was with his henchmen, he had heard the news of the fight and seen the videos, but he was still unfazed, he had enough confidence in his own strength, he was no ordinary noble , he was the heir of his house and was specifically nurtured since birth.
"Let's go" he said to his henchmen, " let me show you how it's done" he said while cracking his knuckles and leading his men towards where the intel said tera was," get out of the way" derrick who was being pushed in a wheelchair screamed at the crowd in front of him, a small crow had formed in front of Tera, they all wanted to see who the handsome young boy was , who there had heard so much rumors about ,more and more news of his past deeds kept coming out.
Tera stopped walking, he saw Derrick coming with a huge noble who he assumed was Brian, he looked like what a hybrid of a bull and human would look like , one thing was sure he didn't look weak , but he didn't look smart either, before they could say anything another wheelchair rolled in , it was Zuma.
" It's good that you are all here" tera said, " we meet again" Zuma replied," let's settle this once and for all " Brian said having no time for small talks he knew why he was here and it wasn't to play, or talk " I agree" tera said, "Carlos, stand back " tera said, he said this while sizing Brian up, from what he could tell from analyzing, Brian with his eyes, that was seven hundred pounds of pure muscles and bones, he could definitely give and take a hit .
Zuma quickly distanced himself, he wasn't in a state to fight , he came here to meet his nemesis out of curiosity, not to get into a fight , he was not trying to die here, derrick and Zuma ended up side by side at the back with their wheelchairs, this was a depressing sight for them, it seems all those that crossed tera , ended up in wheelchairs, what of Brian then what was going to happen
Tera's heart pounded in his chest, each beat growing louder in his ears as he faced Brian. The gymnasium echoed with murmurs and jeers from the gathering crowd. Derrick and Zuma, in their wheelchairs, positioned themselves at a distance, trying to stay out of the potential danger zone, but their wide eyes followed every tense movement.
"You sure you want to do this, Tera?" Brian sneered, rolling his shoulders. The guy was built like a tank, with muscles bulging from his arms like they were trying to escape his skin.
Tera knew Brian was stronger. Everyone did. But something about Brian's cocky grin made Tera's blood boil. He couldn't just back down now, not after the taunt that had started this whole mess. "You talk too much," Tera shot back, clenching his fists. The truth was, Tera wasn't strong—at least, not physically. He wasn't like the others, cultivating strength or practicing magic. He was… different. And today, he was about to prove it.
