Chapter 10 - 10: School Tournament - Part 2
People were agitated. After all, the best player was using weights and yet he was still so fast that the other students couldn't keep up.
The whistle blew and the game continued, but Elijah's, already despondent, team now felt humiliated.
Amon passed the ball a few times, but his team itself wasn't good and they only managed to score 10 points with luck; the rest of the 100 points were all scored by him alone. The opposing team barely managed to run and throw to each other until they got to the opposing side of the field and scored a lucky 3-point basket.
The final result was 110 for class 303 and 3 for class 301.
Elijah had a lump in his throat, he had never felt so angry in his life.
The other team that played against Amon's team lost too, it was just as bad as Elijah's, 115 to 5. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
At least they managed to score 5 points.
They gave it they're all in this game.
Then they made fun of class 301 who thought they were the best.
Meanwhile, the joy in class 303 was at its height.
"Next is the long-awaited martial arts tournament. Just warning you, Unlike genetics and martial arts, weapons are not allowed, let alone attacks. If I find out that anyone tried to kill their classmate, they will be expelled from school!" The director said in an authoritative voice.
The match was decided by drawing lots, the first name drawn was Laura Miller of class 301 against Samuel Smith of class 303.
It was as if the rival classes met, the stadium was round and made of huge white tiles.
The referee took the microphone and said, "The intercollegiate martial arts tournament will now begin. The first participants are Laura Miller from Class 301 against Samuel Smith from Class 303. At my signal, let the fight begin."
Laura shouted, "Earth thorns!"
Samuel managed to dodge the spikes of earth, and pointed his hand at her: "Burning wind!"
Laura wasn't quick enough and was buffeted by the wind and flung out of the arena with part of her clothing burned. With a furious look, she cursed Samuel, but she knew how to lose with grace and left right away.
"The first to be drawn was Maisa Queiroz from class 303 against... Pedro Henrique from class 301. My god, are these two classes destined to face each other?" The referee made a bad joke, but only some were foolish enough to laugh.
Maisa climbed into the arena. Pedro looked at her and said with a gentleman's smile: "Beautiful Maisa, I don't want to hurt you, so can you please give up?"
Pedro Henrique was almost 200 cm tall, with fair skin, blue eyes, and a bodybuilder's body. He was a narcissist and thought that even the flower of the countryside, Maisa, would fall for his charms if he tried, and now he was showing his 'kindness' by letting her give up.
"Let the fight begin." The referee yelled.
"Water bullet!" Maisa wasted no time and cast a water attack. It was so fast that it caught Pedro off guard.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Water bullet! Water bullet!" Very quickly, Maisa conjured two more water bullets in a row, it didn't have as much power as a single attack, but it hurt a lot.
And Maisa's accuracy was high, she was from the archery club after all.
The three water bullets hit the same place, and blood began to flow from the boy's shoulder.
"My, my blood?" The narcissistic boy couldn't stand to see his own blood and passed out.
"The winner is Maisa Queiroz!" the announcement referee to confirm that Pedro passed out.
"Next one is… Maisa Queiroz from class 303 again, she can choose to rest 30 minutes before starting. In the meantime let's see who her opponent will be… Elijah Ferreira from class 301. My god, it seems these two classes really are destined for a face off." The referee made another bad joke, but only some laughed again, foolishly.
"I give up, I'm not going to fight this pervert. He is going to take the opportunity to run his hands over me. I'm out~" Maisa knew she couldn't beat Elijah, but she didn't like him one bit and inevitably came up with a good excuse to give up.
Some looked at Elijah who climbed into the arena awkwardly, while others laughed at him. Elijah clenched his fists tightly and stormed out of the arena. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
With that, Elijah won a victory, even the referee was a little embarrassed when announcing the winner: "The winner is Elijah Ferreira..."
The audience didn't even react.
"Well, back to the tournament, the next one is... Claudio Nazário from the 303 class and let's see who your opponent will be... Amon Tang, also from the 303 class!" The referee announced and the crowd went wild, Amon has already made a name for himself in the other two sports tournaments. Now it's going to be the first time they'll see him fight.
"Errr…Amon, take it easy with me. I'm not going to give up, even though I don't think I'm going to win…" Claudio bit his tongue at the end, and couldn't even say something encouraging.
"Okay." Amon entered the arena with his hands in his pockets and looked at Claudio indifferently.
"Let the fight begin." The referee yelled.
Amon took exactly 2 steps. With the first one he arrived in the middle of the arena, the second one, he arrived in front of Claudio.
Claudio looked lost and agitated, he was about to conjure fire, his arms already showed red lines from the fire genes circling towards his hand, but, before he realized it, Amon was already in front of him.
He pointed a hand at Amon and grew anxious. The spell wasn't ready yet, he was going to open his mouth to cast the fireball spell but it was too late.
*Bang!*
With his hands in his pocket, he kicked sideways with his right leg catching Claudio's stomach and making him curl up in a U and open his mouth while spitting out what he ate and screaming at the same time because of the pain.
The kick was strong, if not for the barrier around the stands, he could have hit someone very hard and left with serious injuries.
Amon was quick to dodge the vomit and remained indifferent. He turned and looked at the referee who had the microphone in his hand close to his mouth, which was wide open, but there was no sound coming out of his mouth.
"Aaaaaa...." After saying 'a' several times the referee came to, as if he had been hallucinating; his eyes shined like a flashlight and he shouted as loudly as he could: "Victory! Student Amon Tang of Class 303 won this fight!"
As the referee announced his victory, Amon walked slowly towards the arena exit. The referee wanted to ask Amon questions but, seeing that he had already left and didn't seem to want to speak, the referee gave up.
The audience was still in shock, but with the referee's announcement and Amon's departure, the audience applauded.
Amon looked very cool, even with his hands in his pockets, he won so easily. But, what they didn't know was that he was squeezing his hand very tightly in order to control his strength and not kill the student with that kick.
Even so, the student needed medical treatment. A woman who had the water genetic unlocked started to heal him.
But this was only provisional, he would still need medical treatment; 3 of his ribs were fractured.
The applause lasted more than a minute. People were very surprised and thrilled by the strength Amon showed.
For those who know genetics better, they knew that all this was done by only brute force and some even guessed that he was holding back so as not to end up killing the opposing student.
"Well, let's get back to what matters, let's choose the next participants!" The referee yelled and looked at the roulette wheel: "The first chosen is... Laura Sousa from the 302 class against... Sophia Diaz from the 301 class."
"A fight between two girls, boys, don't get carried away." The referee jokes. When he saw the two girls go up on stage, he said: "Let the fight begin!"
Sophia was fast, she ran towards Laura, and Sophia's feet showed brown veins, she was reinforcing her foot with the earth element!
As for Laura, she was also a hand-to-hand combatant though she didn't use earth, but instead water, she quickly created a spell: "Water gloves." And defended herself against the kick.
The water greatly decreased Sophia's attack power and this made Laura smile smugly and went to punch Sophia's head with her right hand. However, Sophia's right arm was covered by a long sleeved jacket and, because of that, the earth gene veins have only just become visible in her hand.
Laura was startled by this and, while going forward, prepared to dodge or defend, but Sophia was quicker giving a right hook and making Laura go skyward and fall to the ground with a *Thud!* She fainted straight away.
"Sophia's victory!" The referee yelled and added: "And what a nice right hook, it made the poor girl fly through the air and fall heavily to the ground, I hope she's okay."
Sophia enjoyed being in the center of attention when she saw the audience applaud her, she waved and blew a kiss then she left the arena.
"The next participant has already appeared, it's Nick Miranda from the 303 class against... Sophia Diaz from the 301 class! She was chosen again!" The referee yelled and warned, "You can choose to wait 30 minutes, and in the meantime, another fight will follow, what do you think?"
The referee asked her, "Do you want to wait or continue?"
"Continue, I didn't even get tired." She pouted in an attempt to act cute. It worked with some people, but not all. Some girls who saw this got angry and started rooting for Nick.
"Well, she wants to continue!" The referee yelled excitedly and asked Nick and her to step into the arena.
Sophia didn't know Nick, but being from the 303 class, she sneered and already thought she won.
She starts conjuring her Earth genes as soon as the referee says "Let the fight begin." And runs towards Nick.
However, Nick was even faster than her, not in moving, as he stood still, but in conjuring his wind genetics. A bowling ball-sized sphere formed and he launched it toward her.
Sophia crosses her arms over her chest to defend herself, but the power of the attack was greater than she imagined.
This made her fall on her back on the ground with her arms hurting a lot, even though she used her abilities to protect herself using the ground.
"I quit." She was not a fool. With Nick's speed of genetic conjuration, if she continued, she would be a fool.
"Hehe, thanks for letting me win." Nick smiled at her. Which made her angrier.
Nick didn't stay in the arena for long and left.
Nick's secret was something only Amon and few other people knew, he actually had the luck that his first wind genes were all created in the arms, hence the little time needed to conjure his attack.
