"You should flash freeze him again, eh, Frost?" Stas spoke up with a hint of annoyance in his voice, "As fun as it would be it just wouldn't be fun. Make them want to die as a result." A guy in front of them was muttering under his breath, his hair was grey from stress and he looked weak. Stas just noticed him but he was muttering and mumbling, Stas tapped the guy on the shoulder to ask what was wrong.
The guy looked scared and looked on edge, "They are coming?" Stas raised an eyebrow as the eye locked eyes with Stas. His eyes looked bloodshot and he could see the veins in his eyes, "I don't know but they are coming. They will kill everyone on earth, they keep speaking to me. I keep hearing their voices." He went back to mumbling and Stas looked concerned, it wasn't just weird, it was disturbing in a confused way.Seth just shrugged, it didn't bother him. Either the guy was insane or telling the truth, maybe he was making it up? The guy ran out of the line and left, Jiang didn't seem at all concerned and only Stas was weirded out by the whole situation but he wasn't sure if he could brush it off. The line started to move again as more and more people started to go to the back for the sub-matches.They finally reached the front and Stas suggested that Jiang go first, he walked up and was asked for his name which he gave. He was given a number. "Number 174." He said confused, "What does it mean?" The guy at the desk looked at him and then he answered his question, "You are given a number and when you go to do the sub-matches they will call up your number."Jiang nodded with a smile as he walked to the back and waited by the waiting room door as Stas and Seth got their number. Number 176 and Number 177 respectively as they walked towards Jiang. A girl stood over Jiang and Jiang looked scared, "Why are you scared you little bitch?" She slapped him across the face, Jiang looked like he was about to cry, not from the pain but from how rude she was.She raised his hand to strike him and as it was coming down. He whimpered and closed his eyes at the punch but the punch never came. Stas grabbed her wrist as it was an inch from his face. "Stas, no..." She looked at him annoyed as she called him an ugly fucker. "Stas, she's a friend." The girl looked at him with rage in her eyes. She looked mad at Jiang, "I'm not your friend, nerd.""Do we have a problem?" The girl laughed, "You, you twat looking bitch." Stas laughed, not at her but at the situation as she got annoyed at Stas holding her hand. She punched Stas in the stomach, "Oh a bully? I hate bullies." The punch didn't hurt but the girl, still confident used her leg to kick the side of Stas's face.The kick connected but it didn't do anything, Seth stood behind Stas and smiled at the beating this girl was going to receive. Stas took a breath as she used her free hand to punch the Commander. "Stas, it is really okay." Stas looked at her and back at Jiang before looking back at her and smiling, "You see, she just hit me, I can't let it go now!" Stas slammed his fist into the girl, and she dropped to her knees as all the breath left her lungs.She tried to get back up but Stas let go of her wrist and slammed her face into a wall. He let his hand go as she slumped to the ground hurt and nearly unconscious. There was a splatter of blood on the wall as she scurried away, Jiang looked more happy. "Commander... It wasn't your concern if I was being bullied." Stas looked at Jiang with a small smile as the lines were closed and emptied."What kind of Commander would I be if I turned away from the bullying of my subordinates? Why was she even bullying you in the first place?" He looked up
Seth looked at Jiang with a smile, "This should be a piece of cake." Jiang smiled too as he walked up to the punching machine, "Alright your opponent got 61. How easily will you top this?" She gestured for Jiang to punch the machine as he pulled his arm back and slammed his fist into the machine. The rating went up to "214." He looked surprised as she yelled, "214!" Some guys started to snigger as the score was read out. He pulled his hand far behind his back as she slung it into the machine. The reader went up to "223." He looked surprised at how much higher he was than his opponents. He smiled as he punched the machine again and it went up to 225. I blinked once as he smiled at Julia as she, "225," Stas smiled, despite his weakness, he was going to qualify for the sub-matches. "The mean number is over two hundred at a staggering...220! You beat your opponent with relative ease." Julia selected a random number and the number was 65. She picked another and it was 98. Retha Caro (bet
The guy looked downcast and started to walk away until Stas spoke up, "Wait, Reset the machine!" Julia looked at Stas before turning it off and on again to reveal a score of 2093. The room was shocked and he smiled as he read the score, "If we add 12+10+2093 divided by 3 we get a score of 705, so contestant number 85. You move on to the starting rounds of the tournament."The lean tall guy looked at Stas with a smile stretching from cheek to cheek, "Thank you, sir. I have finally gotten somewhere because of you, sir." Stas looked at him with a confused face and raised eyebrow, "Gotten somewhere?" The guy was still smiling as he bobbed up and down slowly. He spoke, "Because of you I move on to the tournament and have a chance to get promoted. I am still a private because every time someone stole the limelight. Thank you, sir." Stas smiled as number 85 walked away cheerfully."That was certainly interesting," Seth commented as he sat down matches passed for around an hour, and after the
"5,471!" Julia yelled as the other personnel conversed amongst themselves. The pink hair girl stood up enraged and screamed, "HE CHEATED! HE WAS IN HIS TRANSFORMED STATE HE THREW A PUNCH. I thought it was RAW STRENGTH." Julia considered this for 3 seconds as a door burst open and heavily armoured men with canons on their right arm walked in. Their insignia was a golden trident encased in a black circle. On the circle was 'TITAN COMMODORE' in big, bold, white letters. The trident was extended onto the circle. The men were carrying massive guns which looked like futuristic rifles but the rifles had two modes, a flamethrower mode and a taser mode.They had helmets which had mouth covers with goggles which were tinted black. They were wearing military helms. Their leader pointed to areas where they should be stationed. The men secured the back of the room and hugged the walls. "Well, we did ask for the full power of punches without the direct use of power." The girl was enraged by Julia'
"Alright, I get the point." She blinked slowly and sighed, "I think they are about to start the tournament." She sat up as a Red Sail Lieutenant moved to the stand and spoke to the General of the Army and Special Forces, Ana. "My Commander, why did you come here, you still have not told me."She gave him a disgusted look, "I told you to guard the flagship not try to chat me up." He sighed as she stood up, "For your insolence, I will punish you right now." Magnus looked at Ana with an eyebrow raised as she was about to slap the lieutenant. "Ana, he is not that important, please just enjoy the tournament."He then looked at the Lieutenant, "Run along and guard the ship now." Ana sat back down as Voll stood back up and walked off the platform back to the 8 cages. She then signalled to one of the security guards as he got closer, she spoke, "Is there a person called 'Dante Tobias' here?" The security guard opened his phone and looked through the applicant list. "I believe he should be. Sh
"So, you became friends with the guy who made an attempt on your life? You should have made him suffer as you did." Dante sighed now sat down, "I tried but I was killed protecting two of my Officers." She raised an eye to his response, " Died? I thought you were stronger?" Dante looked at her with a solemn expression. "Apparently, the attack was supposed to make their hearts blow up. So I split my power amongst them and I took the attack. My heart blew up and I died. But instead of staying dead, my family has a way of cheating death."Flashback: Five months ago, 2222.Dante stretched out his arm as the laser came in a zigzag, and the attack hit. Dante panted heavily as a squelching sound came from his chest. He fell on his back feeling significantly weaker, Rama and Isak ran over to their weakened commander who was laid out on the ground. "I used my intangibility to save you but I could save myself. I'll only live for the next couple of seconds. Use this opportunity to run and I will
"What do you know about strength anyways, Ana? Judging by the marks on your necks and the possibility of you being able to teleport and fly, you were burned. Maybe you weren't able to register what occurred meaning the person was too fast for you to even react to. If I keep prying you will cry." She looked at him with anger in her eyes and glared at him."So if the person was able to move so fast, you couldn't think properly and was left open. Did you come into contact with one of the Holzer clan?" She looked at Dante and chuckled as a loud explosion came from one of the cages. It was Abels, who stood atop another student. The student was unconscious, "Next time get someone capable to fight me," He yelled angrily.Ana looked at Abels with disgust and spoke in an annoyed tone, "I hate people like him, cocky, overconfident and plain annoying. I remember the first mission I was on, A third-year captain, now a first-year Colonel was commanding a mission and told me to step back and he wou
After some time the first eight matches concluded and the next 16 jumped into the cage, the most notable match was Retha vs Olivia. They stepped up to the cage as Olivia got into a fighting pose and Retha transformed into her strongest demon form. It looked like an actual demon with claws, horns and fires at the end of her horns. Her skin was pale and she was 10 feet tall.Olivia looked up at Retha with Retha looked down at Olivia. The referee yelled, "Begin." As Olivia went on her guard as Retha walked over to the giant and gut-punched Olivia. Olivia coughed up spit as she clutched at her stomach, she finally recomposed herself more angry than before.Her pupils vanished as she grew inside becoming more muscular and powerful becoming the same size as Retha. Olivia pulled back her fist and punched Retha in the face making her stumble back. Olivia then swept Retha's leg, dropping her. Retha looked annoyed being put on her back but Retha got up.Retha tried to kick Olivia's stomach but
