The bus hovered over the bridge as rain fell onto the channel. The day looked dull. Everything looked dull. Stas replied instantly, "So if we hit him fast enough or if he forgets about you. We can hurt him." Sylvia nodded, "Judging by the fact that my ability takes 12 hours to take effect and ends in 14 days. He is already getting weaker but he has lost around a two-point three percent of his power.""Well enough about him we have a match to complete to win today." Sylvia turned to look at Stas, "Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the matches." The bus hovered immobile at Edge Warren Square as students rushed on to get out of the rain. The whole school was supposed to come in that day.The bus hovered down the street zig-zagging before entering the bus lane as it stopped in more time to pick up students, before going to the station. The announcement system chimed before speaking. "This bus is terminating at Eden Law Station. Please pack your belonging. This bus is terminating."They bo
They entered block six. It had double doors and stairs leading up. On the other side of block six, it had double doors that lead to the north battleground. They took off their soaking jackets before going upstairs. To a room that had code 6N2E. They walked in to see that half of the class arrived there before they did.Voll hadn't arrived yet. None of the Sergeant had arrived yet. Stas and Sylvia moved to the back of the classroom. Voll walked in three minutes later and after that, the three Sergeants walked in a minute later. "Alright, today is the day you show off your strengths. After you all left to go home I received an update from the United Fighting Students headquarters."Magnus continued, "All ranks now have lower and higher tiers. So for example, if you were a private you would become a private lower tier. Every rank up until Major is a lower tier rank. And every rank past that is a higher rank. They didn't want people to rank up to faster.""Well, we need to head to the bat
"BEGIN!" Julia said with a megaphone as raindrops fell onto the battleground. The ground was hardened cement. Class E dashed at class H as they held a defensive position. Stas followed in the second wave as a blonde brat came out from the back. As H keep the defensive line Rama Garcia took a massive gulp of air. "Red hypergiant!" Rama said as he spewed a giant ball of fire. Most of class E managed to evade but some did not. Stas did not see the fireball and got charred. His skin was charcoal colour as his body temperature started to cool down.A bright light shone through Stas's body as his body refurbished itself. "Stas!" Rama spotted as the rest of H charged at E. A loud bear-like roar emanated from the H class. As a bear-human hybrid ran rampant. A multitude of giant rocks flew at the bear stunning the bear. "Stas!" Rama cried out as he darted for Stas. "Rama," Stas said calmly as Rama threw a flurry of fire coated punches at Stas. Stas dodged as he threw a point blank punch at R
Rama's neck was charred and smoking as the boy dropped him, "I'm sorry but who are you?" The kid got pissed, "I just helped you and you ask who I am instead of saying thank you! I am the private who tried to kill Colonel Voll! I am Abels Abraham." Stas sighed in relief, "Thanks, Abels."Abel's walked off. The bear rampaged on clawing and slashing every in its path. "It seems like you are struggling Sylvia." A voice said. The person had white skin, black eyes and black hair. "Yeah maybe if I could get assistance," Sylvia yelled as the bear tried to bite at her.Retha just laughed. She dashed at the beast as she grew grey horns from her skull. She met the bear man as he struck its chest. The bear looked hurt then it growled before swiping at her. She dodged backwards as Sylvia stabbed at the bear the bear had a wound on its side. Retha then punched at the cut as it groaned in pain."You bitches!" The bear charged at Sylvia and opened its massive mouth. It tried to sink its massive teeth
"I think his power is when he yells tank the amount of pain he feels gets cut in half. He still takes the injury but he just takes less pain." Stas proclaimed. "Simple explanation will not stop Big Ten!" Sylvia looked at Stas whilst she was still on the ground. "Is he stupid?" Retha would step back. She then started to walk towards Big Ten slowly. Her skin turned pale and rocky. Her horns became elongated. Her horns went from grey to black. She grew from 6'3 to 7'2. Her walk turned into a sprint.She then disappeared as Big Ten got flung back. Stas used all his might to punch Big Ten upwards. "Tank!" Big Ten yelled as he got sent into the sky. Sylvia then jumped to Big Ten. "Tank this!" As Sylvia reflected a slash of his axe."Big Ten will not lose to puny, small kids!" Sylvia cut off his hand as his hand fell back to earth along with Sylvia. Sylvia prepared to hit the ground but her falling body was caught by Stas. "Thank you, Stas."Retha then appeared above Big Ten. "Prepare to hi
"I Am Powerful! I Am Stronger! I Am Better Than Voll In Every Single Way!" The Lieutenant General looked at the former Brigadier General Ivana. "Tell me, Ivana. When was the last time you were useful? Colonel Voll here offered to train the newest year!" He wasn't happy anymore."Ever since the Sarasota incident when did you do anything? It's September and the Sarasota Incident happened in March. So what have you been doing? Training recruits? Because as far as I'm concerned you wiggled your way out of doing your duty but you want to keep your rank."Then why was I, a general officer, in the first place? It was because I was strong, wasn't it? Was it not?" The Lieutenant General laughed then his face grew serious, "No! It was because of your popularity. Since it's based on missions, strength, and power. You are now Former Brigadier General, Colonel Ivana.""Now get out of here colonel. Now," He pulled out a cloth-wrapped plastic, "Your trench coat. Brigadier General Magnus Flenn Voll. N
The door opened as Voll walked in. He closed the door behind him. Before he sat down in his chair. "Training starts tomorrow and all of you must be here. I will train you as a class directly but before that, we must celebrate!" "Before we start I must tell you all something!" Voll became serious again. "I ranked up so remember how I said anyone who ranked above the major rank is upper tier."Stas started to say aloud, "If you were Colonel upper class and you ranked up," Stas's face went pale. "Then that means you are Brigadier General Lower tier!" The class looked at Voll."I closed the door and showed my back to you guys and you didn't notice the trench coat with a star on it." The whole class celebrated. Voll would walk out of his class as the class of E celebrated, the class of H slumped in defeat while their 3 Sergeant were recovering."You all are embarrassments!" Captain Jelle yelled. As she yelled furiously, the door opened, It was Voll. "You guys need to train and also Jelle
Julia dipped her hands into the box and pulled out one ball, "C" she plucked another ball from the box, "I. You have thirty seconds to get ready." Class I and class C scrambled to the battlefield. Second Lieutenant Julia counted down from 30."Twenty-four, Twenty-three, Twenty-two, Twenty-one, Twenty." Class C scrambled into a wave formation. A tall black student stood among Class I as he wore a blue jacket that was overlapped by a grey blazer. "Ten, nine, eight." Class E had 5 divisions with 1 Sergeant lower tier and 4 people who ranked under Sergeant. "Three, two, one! Commence!" The entirety of Class I rushed to class C but the charge was led by Dante Tobias.Dante threw off his jacket to reveal his rank. His arm showed the rank of Staff Sergeant. The insignia was sown on the arm and under the insignia were the letter E and the number 6. "Hold on he was a Staff Sergeant?!" Stas went wide-eyed."You know him?" Retha questioned. "Yeah, he beat me up yesterday for no reason." Retha t
"Stop using that paper-thin ability and fight me fairly." She just looked at him with a smile as she laughed, "Or I'll burn you alive." She looked more serious now as he spoke, She got ready and using her paper-thin power glided past Stas' punches, She then hit Stas in the face, Stas' head moved back as he asked, "Why do you always start some great speech about being a champion of the Balbin Clan? Every time. Even back in Elementary.""Is it because I rejected you in year 5?" She gritted her teeth, "Stop trying to get me angry." She walked in front of Stas and hit him again in the chest this time, "Is that why you started working out?" She punched Stas even harder now, causing him to stagger, "Shut up." Stas walked back up to her and tried to punch her but as she dodged, his fist burst into flames burning her clothes. Stas looked at the fire, more intrigued but she tried to jump up and punch him in the face, he blocked with one hand and punched with his left. The punch was hot, causi
Olivia walled off the stage to see Dante panting as had neck trauma but nothing too life-threatening. He spoke in a raspy voice as she turned her body towards him, "Do you think?" He coughed profusely, "That if you got angry could Isak calm you down?" She considered it with a smile before she spoke, "Of course, he could." Dante smiled as her face became one of confusion, "Yeah because you would do anything for him." Dante laughed as she become grim she took a step towards him, "Don't fucking mock me." She grew in size to ten and a half feet tall. "Don't swear at me I am your Commander." She looked even more annoyed as she grew to 15 feet and 9 inches tall."Chill," Dante said with a smile as she grabbed him by the body Stas walked up behind Olivia, "Would you mind putting Dante down?" She looked at him then growled as she then bear hugged Dante and attempted to German Suplex. Dante using his fast thinking phased from her arm and onto the ground.As she tried to do this Isak walked up
The other matches finished as the other contestants ran off scared. Olivia got back up and towered over Retha, the fear was starting to get to Retha as she roared again as more fire came spewing from her mouth. It hit her again and was now doing less damage, Retha dashed at her tackling her and started to pummel Olivia in the ground as she used her Demon magic to stop her from growing in size and strength.Olivia using her size to her advantage flipped over and kicked Retha into the ground as she rolled, Olivia started to grow in size again she grew twice in one event and grew to the monstrous size of 53 feet tall. Retha was now terrified as she punched Olivia's gut but it had no effect as Olivia grabbed and bear-hugged the much smaller Retha and bent over backwards, German suplexing her into concrete. Olivia laughed as Retha's size was too small to keep up with so she evolved into her last form, her most powerful form meant taking over the third hell from her father. She grew to a s
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
"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
"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
"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
"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'
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
