John was aware that they would not allow him to leave the restroom freely.
"So boys, this is how it is going to be; I will let you both walk out of this room unharmed.But if you insist on leaving here with me. I am afraid I will break a few of your bones, Remember, the decision is entirely up to you." John explained.
"Who does this old guy think he is? One of the military men said with expressed annoyance.
Both military men attacked John, throwing earthen balls at him.
John, not wanting to waste time, destroyed the balls with his bare hands while moving quickly, then grabbed one of the military men and slammed his face against the mirror.
After slamming his face into the mirror, John grabbed and twisted his arm, causing a loud crack.
"He fucking broke my arm," the military man exclaimed before passing out.
The other man began firing at John. John dodged the bullet quickly, landing a clean punch on his opponent's face that broke his nose. John grabbed his legs and twisted them, causing a crack followed by a loud scream.
"Now that this is resolved, I should probably return," John said as he grabbed both unconscious men by their collars and dragged them on the floor.
The guardians of military division I stopped John on his way to the competition.
"Hello, John. Could you please tell me why you are walking around with two of my officers unconscious?
"I would like to know why these two were following me." John inquired, sternly.
John and Albert were both known to despise each other intensely. The reason for this remained unknown to everyone.
"Tailing you? I see. I only told them to try to figure out who was behind the mask, not to get themselves beat up, and I apologize for any inconvenience they both must have caused you. Please I apologize on their behalf and would caution them". Albert clenched his teeth as he spoke.
"I promise that the next time they joke with me, I will kill them both." John expressed himself sternly.
John took his seat just as Zahra and Alden were about to begin their match.
John muttered, "Great, I arrived on time."
"Begin!!" The announcer's loud voice booms through the microphone.
"Hey, Alden. What is your ability? Are you going to do some magic? Because the Alden I knew as a child had a genie or something." Zahra said this while making fun of Alden.
"I would do more than magic; I would crush your bones!" Alden exclaimed angrily.
"What is that supposed to do? Scare me. Because it does not work that way." Zahra mocked Alden again.
Alden moved quickly as he delivered his punch to Zahra.
Zahra evaded the punch as Alden struck nothing but air. Zahra raised her hands, creating numerous daggers as they all fell down.
Despite the rain of ice daggers, Zahra could be seen attacking Alden. Punches and kicks were thrown at Alden as he desperately attempted to dodge above and below.
The daggers stopped falling from above as a large grin spread across Alden's face. He thought it was over as he charged forward to punch Zahra.
A large groan escaped his mouth as his punch was about to land on Zahra. The daggers that were previously stuck to the ground were now stabbed deep into Alden's legs. Blood was everywhere as he sweated profusely.
You can give up, or I will keep stabbing you until you run out of blood. Zahra said, staring deeply into his eyes.
"I give up," Alden said as he turned away from Zahra.
"And we have a winner; Zahra has advanced once more to the next round.
Zack and Esha will be up next. The announcer's voice emerged once more.
The two moved on to the stage, and as soon as Zack stepped on it, the entire place caught fire.
Esha used the block ability to cover herself, but due to a lack of fresh air, she was running out of breath.
Looking towards Tahir, Tahir nodded indicating she was free to give up.
She tapped her hands as a sign of surrender. She let go of her ability as Zack canceled his fire ability and threw a punch at Esha.
Before the punch could reach her, Tahir jumped onto the stage, followed by Kris and Jude.
Kris held Zack's left hand while he activated the ice ability, and Jude held Zack's right hand as earth began to form around it.
"If you move even a little, I swear I will punch you," Tahir spoke with rage in his voice.
Zack struggled, and Tahir's punch landed on his face as his head was flung back; Zack was already out, passing out instantly.
Immediately the punch landed on Zack. His team was already prepared to jump in when they noticed long ice daggers pointing at them.
"Move an inch, and I swear I will kill you all." Zahra's tone was vehement.
"Let us all calm down," someone who appeared to be the referee said.
"Why would three of you disrupt the match? We were in control of the situation.
If he had punched her after she had given up, we would have disqualified him."
"If his punch had hit her, his head would have been rolling on the ground, detached from his body,"Tahir remarked coldly.
The entire stage fell silent as soon as he spoke. He did not seem to be joking.
"Well, since Zack has been knocked out, we have no choice but to disqualify one of you from the match."
"I will go; I have a one percent chance of leading us to victory. I am still weak, and that is the pain of it all. So, I will leave the rest to you two. Just make sure you do not give them a chance to give up; trash them so bad they pass out." Jude said as he walked off the stage.
