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 at Stas he looked a bit sheepish at his superior officer, "I didn't do her combat fitness homework which dropped her grade from a D+ to a D-." Stas sighed as he walked through the door and stopped halfway through, "Stand up for yourself more often. It does you wonders even if you lose. Never let someone break your back to reach their goals."

They walked through and sat down there were nearly 180 people but only 128 could qualify. They waited a minute before a girl walked in it was the newly promoted First Lieutenant Juila and she rose her voice to get everyone's attention. "Hello personnel, the sub-matches will be underway soon. I will demonstrate." She walked to a punching machine and punched it and it came to a total of 502. She then walked up to the treadmill and started running and after 10 seconds of running she got off.

"The treadmill matches your speed meaning that you can not run straight off. For the punching machine, you will have 3 tries and it will calculate the mean. Now number I will pick random numbers and they will be pitted against each other. For the first number, she pulled out her phone and used a random number generator, she looked up and spoke, "152 and 174." Jiang looked surprised and nervous as he walked up to the machine.

"Wait hold on, I also forgot to mention that the mean strength will be multiplied by speed. 152 since your number is lower, you punch first." 152 was a small boy with purple hair. He looked timid with freckles across his face. He pulled his hand back, he had no form and slammed his hand into the machine as it read, "61." One guy who was lanky, skinny with sliver hair started to burst out laughing at the guy's low score. She pulled his hand back again, "66" The whole room started snickering and "57." She added them then divided them by 3 then rounded. "61," She said as everyone started laughing.

    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.

    "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.
