"Davin Dean and Duke Perez come up to the middle of the arena". The instructor said. "Please note that this arrangement is not alphabetical but arranged according to the admission".
"Why did they pick me first". Dean said. Aziza put her hand on her shoulder and spoke. "Don't worry I know you will ace this".
"Thanks". Dean said, took a did breathe and began moving closer to the middle of the arena. From the other side a chubby boy, freckles around his face, with orange hair made his way to the middle of the arena. The arena had a circular shape in an enclosed area (It is a building). The walls were painted white and at the edge of the arena the sits were arranged to circle around the arena with stairs leading up to the next sits and it continued to go up until nearly reaching the top. Openings were made in between the sit arrangement in order to allow players and viewers to come in and out.
"Players are you ready. The rules are simple, anyone that leaves the ring will be disqualified, also anyone that falls flat on the ground will also be disqualified. That is all". The instructor said, and both the fighters looked at each other with a death glare.
"Three"
"Two"
"One, fight".
Dean raced towards Perez and gave him a kick in the stomach sending him flying. Perez stabilized himself and ran toward Dean with the intension to kick her, but Dean held his leg and punched him in the stomach. Perez knelt down and held his stomach shouting. "What gives, why are you attacking my stomach".
Dean smiled and spoke. "Sorry for that". And she kicked him on the head sending him crashing on the ground.
"And the winner is Davin Dean".
"That was fast". Someone said, and everybody nodded in agreement.
"Aaron Rodrigo and Hella Harper". The instructor called out.
"We meet again Aaron". Hella said.
"Three"
"God, why did you put me with her". Aaron lamented.
"Two"
"I am going to beat you up" Hella said looking furious.
"One"
"Good luck". Aaron said.
"Fight".
Hella ran toward Aaron with full speed shouting. "You are the cause of our people down fall". Hella was ready to hold him, but he dodged.
"It was not my fault I had to save myself, you all were going to die anyways". Aaron said trying to explain his self. Hella tried to kick him again but like before Aaron just shifted aside and grabbed her neck.
"I am a child, you are a child, we are not the cause of our people's death it was the fault of the demons. Even if I was to go back, I had zero percent chance of actually winning those are demons for Christ's sake they are not children like us".
Hella burst into tears and spoke. "But you saved Eric, and you know what he is known around the village for".
"Yes, I know he is known as a fighter, a thief and overall, a criminal, but he had no parents same as me, but no one was actually willing to take him in I was lucky to actually have family members who took me in, but he didn't". Aaron said.
"But, what about the family members that took you in you still let them burn".
"At that time, I was closer to him, and I had to just save him first". Aaron said and let her go. "Let us put the past behind us, and fight".
Hella wiped her tears away and spoke. "Sure, let us end this fight"
Aaron smiled and kicked her knee and pinning her down to the floor.
"The winner is Aaron Rodrigo".
"Aaron you Lier, you tricked me". Hella said looking furious.
"Technically we both agreed to continue so…" Aaron walks into one corner, sat down and hugged his crying. He felt someone continuously tap him until he put his head up and he shouted. "What do you want". He saw a girl crouching down with a worried expression on her face. "Are you okay".
"Yeah, am alright". Aaron said with a forced smile.
"Then why were you crying". Aziza said and sat down beside him. "Is it about what you guys were talking about".
"It all started when I was six years ago". Aaron said.
