The orange headed boy began to head down from the stage and entered the clear space, and a well built boy with a red sleeveless vest, black pants and shaved hair, stepped out of the crowd he walked towards Michael and was a inch taller than than Michael.
"Duel of gain, if I win when we reach the main base you become a lackey for." The built boy stated with confidence, Michael chuckled "Okay but I'll like intermediate tier weapon or armour." Some in the crowd laughed looked some what not amused and other smiling, "Do you think I'm some rich kid like the last one that weak slacker only got money going for him, so obviously I got nothing."
Michael grinned and began to speak "Dude your joking we will go on hunting trips in future so what up?, Wait are you scared you'll lose?!" Michael shouted at the end for everyone to hear, Michael scoffed then continued to speak "What a wuss."

Null was going to check out his rewards, but the ginger intrigued him and after he shouted about the built boy lack of faith in winning but when he insulted after he understood his aim.
'His provoking him, even though the built boy challenged Michael, but it seems that he was the instigator of the duel, basically his clouding his thinking with his mockery, that is.....entertaining, i guess this military school isn't as bad as i thought but i shouldn't be hasty with my thoughts.' that was Null's thoughts at that moment when seeing the ginger's tactics to profit from the duel.
"Fine, but you better keep your end." The built boy said with hostility.
But after the quote on quote last match they were taking longer so that so called cheap tricks like what Null did, seeing this he saw that it would take time.
'Guess i should check my rewards, while I got time.' Null internally called up the screen notifications.
[Branch Quest Rewards]
[Two Instant level ups]
[15 Unallocated Stat Points]
[Active Skill:Inspect ] (new)
Null began to look at what he had received than he brought out his status window.
[NAME :Olvi'Doro] [LEVEL:2 ]
[HP :100/100 ] [FATIGUE :0 ]
[MP :Undetermined ] [RACE :Human (??)]
[STRENGTH :7 ] [INTELLIGENCE :20 ]
[AGILITY :8 ] [STAMINA:9 ]
[ENDURANCE :9 ] [SENSES :12 ] [VITALITY :0 ] [WILL:10 ]
----
[USP :25]
[SKILLS ]
[Unique Active Skill:Inspect ] (new)
Null was curious on why he had 25 U.S.P rather than 15, so he thought it was the level up, meaning by every level up he would get 5 USP, 'System, description on inspect skill.'
[Active Skill:Inspect ]
{Allows host to analyze the statistics of what host chooses to "inspect"}
'That's a pretty interesting ability, no skill. System description on USP.' Null internally said.
[USP:Unallocated Stat Points]
'that is pretty short but helpful, this is going to help me a lot, I'm pretty weak the only, only way I could of won in the duel was by directly hitting the chin of the boy even though I won i only was able to make him lose balance and be dazed for a few seconds, but being able to knocking people out would be better.' Null decided when he is finally back in his dorm he would manage his stat points, but for he observed the duel about to commence.
'Wait, maybe I could test my skill out.' Null thought before inspecting the ginger head.
[Michael Q, Sùdù]
[INTELLIGENCE: 12]
[STRENGTH: 15]
[DEXTERITY: ???]
[ENDURANCE: 25]
__________
[META-GENE GRADE: ??? ]
[META-GENE ABILITY: ??? ]
'Wait, why are there question marks is it because I'm weak or is the skill not strong enough?' But before Null could continue on to guess the system answered for him.
[The player and skill is at a insufficient level ]
'So basically it is both, but doesn't that mean his strong but i can not be sure as i haven't yet seen him in action, as well i haven't inspected a strong person's stat's yet, but his other stats that are not question marked, are above human capabilities so i suspect that his ability is strength related but is not dexterity speed related.' Null after theorizing about the ginger's ability he decided to inspect the built boy, he was up against.
[INTELLIGENCE: 5]
[STRENGTH: 17]
[DEXTERITY: 8]
[ENDURANCE: 15]
__________
[META-GENE QUALITY: Grade 2]
[META-GENE ABILITY: Enhanced Strength]
Null read through, and there was a description of his meta ability that said he was able to multiple his strength but only by 4. Null was as well confused if the built boy is just weak, unrestricting his senses he heard whispered that the built boy was considered a powerful person so Null came to the conclusion that the ginger head was stronger than a fair amount of people so Null decided he will use the ginger as a comparison of strength. Null looked at the two boys apart from each other 7 or 8 meters
apart.

"BEGIN!" The head general shouted, the built boy ran to Michael, unexpectedly Michael stepped back in a surprised scared manner with shock plastered to his face, when the built boy raised his hands entangled together a few feet away he brought his hands down on Michael, Null and a few others saw Michael grin as the attack was inches from his face, Michael shifted to the side of the boy but the crowd instead saw a blur, and at the same moment the boy brought his hands down putting his body into it.
~Boom~
The sound reverberated as well was it felt any, Michael took the opportunity to knee him in the neck than follow up with a punch to the jaw, grab his head knee him in the face, taking a step back than kicking him in the temple, twisting his body to add momentum. Resounding cracks to be heard.
_ _
Null was speechless as all others in the crowd though a small few were not. Null could not see the ginger he was able to see him when he stops to attack but when he proceeds to attack nothing but barely seen blur that was what he saw. The ginger to the crowd but specifically to Null, he was out of sight.
