Chapter 25 Training Partners

I looked in front as the teacher called us for another instruction.

"Listen, guys and girls! I will pair you up, so you and your partner will have a battle together in our class for the whole sem. They will be your training partners, or you might call it a sparring partner." He instructed as he continues explaining more, then he started calling names for partners.

"Drenalyn Montero and Adrian Imperial..." I smirked while Drena gasped and looked at Adrian with anger, while Adrian bites his lips hiding the smile that wanted to show up. She cursed lowly.

"Daniela Morales and..." I felt Drena hold my hand "Claire Tan." she squeezes it while cursing.

I took her hand and hold it to calm her, she breathed out.

"She's dead meat." I heard a guy said.

"She's done." A girl stated.

"One punch and she's knock out!" A guy said laughing.

The students started mumbling I looked at Daniela to see her smirking at me, her eyes were hungry to fight with me.

I can't help a smirk flows from my lips for just a moment, which made her stop and glare at me. I can see the guy with eyeglasses smiling at me, he sees me smirking earlier... the Adrian guy was looking serious from the announcement of my name and Daniela as partners.

"Go now to your partners and start your training!" The instructor shouted while clapping, for all of us to hear and move.

Before Drena walked away from me I held her wrist.

"Never dare to stop a battle, especially mine." I looked at her wearing a serious face. I will get what I wanted today.

She looked shocked to see my face, she never saw me had any emotions, but just now. She nodded in response.

"Promise me." I ensured.

She was hesitant for a moment but then "I promise." She said but held worry.

I walked passing her and went to my position.

Daniela positioned in front of me while I just stand there waiting for a hit. Pain.

She laughed "You? You look someone who can't fight." She said in between her laughter, so I smirked.

I just wanted to play along with people. Did I do it right? Well, I guess not because she quickly lunged at me for a punch, but it did not even make me move on my spot. Just my head, then I felt blood on my lips. My own blood. I felt my eyes sparkled for a moment but no one can see as my head was lowered.

I heard gasps coming from the students, maybe because she gave her strongest punch which made a noise. I want this to last, I have to think how. I looked up smirking, ensuring that only she can see. It made her angrier than she gave a flying kick, I wanted to look normal so I acted falling to my knees.

"See? You don't know how to fight! Fight me! Fight me!" She yelled desperately.

I stand up slowly making it look like it was difficult, giving an act and then I looked at her "Is that all? Such a baby." I whisper lowly wanting only for her to hear.

Why do the students so noisy watching us? Don't they have a battle of their own? Well then, it's better because no one could hear me except Daniela. They might think I am mute.

I spotted Daniela's weakness, she's sensitive. I smirked more to myself. Pain.

She punched me twice that I decided to act backing away, it's hard to act when I'm yearning for it. The moment I acted to stumble back, she pushed me hard which made me fall down on the floor, and then she took it as a chance to jump above me. Enough for my face, so I covered my face using my arms. She started punching my stomach instead which happens many times, trying to break my ribs. Just then, I heard a whisper-yell coming from Drena "No!"

I looked at her and see her crying while Adrian is caressing her back, she's resisting the urge to stop the battle. I smirked, she took my words.

She's been punching me so many times breaking my ribs. A normal person who couldn't fight, in this state definitely be dead from the start. But I'm not. She may think my ribs are broken with the use of her strongest punches but she's just getting tired of her own.

She keeps on cursing many times in my face, I just let it happen. My bones are more than metal, it can't easily be broken as it was broken many times or there's nothing left to be broken? I smirked more to myself again.

Carlo can't satisfy me and she's not even half to Carlo's strength. This is stupid, why did I ever choose to stay in this school? Why did I choose this school? There's a part of me, pulling me to come here, and I'm already here so there's no backing up.

I felt her loosen in me when I looked up, Mr. Cleo is already holding her tight.

"You bitch! Lousy! Coward! You can't even fight! So don't call me a baby!!" She yelled trying to get out of the instructor's hold. Tch. I'm not satisfied yet. I let my head fall down which made my hair hide on both sides of my face.

I felt two hands helping me to sit up, Drena. So I go with it. She's supporting me until I stand up. I can stand on my own, but I have to stay with the act so I just let her, but she can feel it, she can feel that I don't need support as I don't let out weight on her...

"Class dismissed!" Mr. Cleo said to the students.

I sensed him faced Drena "Bring her to the clinic, and Claire" he called my name "take a 3 days' rest, you're excuse but I'm expecting you in my class next week." He dragged Daniela with her which I can still feel wearing a deadly glare to me.

I smirked at myself, mine can kill you. But my face is wearing blank.

"Woah! What a good scene! How come you're still alive?" The guy with eyeglasses said shocked but smiling widely, Adrian was beside him, still spacing out. But I didn't dare to look at them as I stayed looking down.

"Shut up, Lucas!" Drena said angrily as we started walking, with her still supporting me.

"What the! Are you serious!? You could still walk!?" Lucas' voice gets louder like he saw a miracle in front of him. I ignored him and continue walking away.

I'm far, but I can still hear them "Adrian! Have you seen it? Her feet are still moving! I think I'm dreaming!" He said with a surprised voice.

"Me too." Adrian murmured. The students are still gossiping to each other.
