Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit Rematch
Bam!Joel’s fist came crashing down like a meteor with no restraint whatsoever, kicking up quite a bit of dust as a result. However, Joel’s expression changed because despite how fast and strong his attack was just now, Finnian seemed to be a step ahead. Just before Joel’s fist could reach him, Finnian sprung into the air, making Joel hit nothing more than empty air. However, Finnian had no intention to stop here.Bam!Finnian shot toward Joel like a bullet, sending a kick to the latter’s face. Luckily, Joel was quick enough to defend in the last second, but the force from the impact of the collision still washed through his body making him stumble backward. Almost coughing blood, Joel clutched his chest. “What just happened?” He hadn’t expected his first clash with Finnian to be this strong. As a matter of fact, he hadn’t imagined being the one to be in such a position where he had to suppress the impulse to cough up blood.Joel looked across to his opponent to him simply standing li
Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit Shocking Discovery
The fight became increasingly intense with every passing second. One side focused on attacking relentlessly while the other simply patted the attacks to the side, with both sides showing no sign of exhaustion. Joel just figured out that Finnian was effortlessly deflecting his attacks and instantly grew frustrated once again. He was giving it his all yet his opponent seemed to match his every move. Truthfully, this would be frustrating for anyone, especially for one who was currently going all out at the cost of exhausting his stamina to the max.However,Just when Joel thought nothing more could happen, he started to notice something shocking. Finnian wasn’t only matching his speed but was gradually starting to surpass it!Joel could now say that this was outside his expectations. With the strings of events that had happened in this fight, this was the most unexpected. It wasn’t how Finnian could deflect so easily his attacks, nor was it how he could match up to it, but how he could s
Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit Special Class Cyph
It’s been six hours since the trial began. With just four hours till the end of the trial, the activities of the students became livelier. In a different location on the island, up north, the special class Cyph, Benji was currently facing off an opponent. His opponent was the lad named Clinton, Caesar’s opponent in the class F simulation. The two just happened to bump into each other here as they passed by.Clinton immediately became anxious. His nerves, as well as his senses, stood on end. Though Benji’s classification as a special class Cyph was kept a secret by Centurion and he too wasn’t allowed to say a word about it so no one in school knew. However, though he was called an elite, he was seen as much more. Clinton cursed his luck for being bad so bad. He thought he had been careful enough to avoid the paths of the elite, but then again, the rules warned against staying in a fixed place for more than an hour. This would no doubt promote more battles and the students would have mo
Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit Fighting A Special Class
“I know you,” He said with a frosty tone, narrowing his gaze to the sudden visitor.Finnian had just sighted Clinton when he heard the latter’s comment. Though there wasn’t anything provoking about it, but the tone and obvious intent behind them wasn’t hidden. He wasn’t so pleased. He knew he was popularly known among the first-year but not for a good reason.“And?” Finnian raised an eyebrow, tucking on his glasses. “What’s with that sassy tone of yours anyway? You think you can do anything to me?”Veins appeared on Clinton’s forehead; he was clearly pissed by Finnian’s words. His hands trembled as proof of how pissed he was. Who was this good-for-nothing to talk to him that way? Clinton knew Finnian as a fellow classmate and was also among those who thought Finnian was being boastful when he had nothing to show for it. ”I’ve had it with boastful comments for one day. You think you got skills? Then show me!” Clinton roared and shot forward like a raging bull.Finnian didn’t quite unde
Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit "I'm Not Here To Look At You..."
Boom!! An explosion rocked the ground, creating cracks that spread out like spider webs. Benji’s fist was buried deep inside the ground, yet when he looked around, he didn’t find his opponent. He’d struck nothing. Spontaneously, he looked up to see that Finnian had already taken to the air, landing safely on a tree close by. “Hmm?” Benji frowned. He looked around to analyze the impact of his punch just now. After a short time, he turned to Finnian. “That wasn’t how my attack was intended to be. You deflected it and borrowed its momentum to safety; talk about thinking on your feet.” Saying this, Benji didn’t have his usual grin, but a solemn expression. Even if he anticipated that Finnian would dodge, he shouldn’t be unscathed. And even though Finnian had evaded, the impact from his punch should have caused no little damage to his opponent. Still, his opponent had not only evaded but had done so without sustaining the slightest damage. It didn’t matter if his opponent’s strength was
Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit Finnian Goes Wild
Benji’s fist came charging forward like a meteor. The sheer force from it caused sounded out like one striking a metal gong. It was safe to say that even though Benji might not have used his full strength in that punch, he had used quite a significant amount, no less. He had already been provoked by Finnian not only by words alone but in how he could move around so quickly in avoiding Benji’s attacks. Finnian flew backward, crashing into a tree and knocking it over. The tree wasn’t overly big, but it was considerably thick. Benji was inwardly surprised to see this. To think someone like Finnian could do something like this was beyond expected. And what surprised Benji the most was the sensation he felt in his fist. Though slightly, he felt a numbing pain course his fist. He thought back to when he hit Finnian, and though he was certain his punch had connected, it still felt like he had hit a steel wall. The numbing sensation was proof of that notion, and he only felt this when he occ
Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit Centurion Watches The Trial
Bam- Bam- Bam- Bam…Frightening vibrations resounded as a result of the collision between these two. This was a fight with fists and kicks only, so one can imagine just how strong these blows were to create such vibrations. It was understandable for Benji but not for Finnian.Benji might not know Finnian on a personal level but he has heard of him… alias ‘freak with the weights’. No one truly understood the reason for this, and though they suspected that it had something to do with his ability, no one cared. The abilities were cool at first, but after discovering the weaknesses that accompanied them, everyone had to tone it down a notch. For Finnian, it was seen that those weights were what made up for the weaknesses of his ability, whatever it is.However, at this time, the Finnian standing in front of Benji wasn’t the Finnian he knew. In fact, this Finnian was beyond what he could ever imagine. Butting heads with him? Benji didn’t believe Finnian could butt heads with anyone at all!
Besieged (Book One): Rise of the Misfit The Confused Senior Commissioners
Centurion, a world-class research organization, came to light around the time the Ravenwood incident had just reached the World government. Ravenwood wasn’t a big city, to begin with, but it wasn’t a backwater metropolis either, with a population of about 700- 900 thousand people. Not many people knew the details of it, but the news about Ravenwood had spread to some parts across the globe. At first, the news recorded the crime rate and death rate in Ravenwood had suddenly spiked to a whole new level, and if nothing was done to curb it, the city would be registered as felonious. This might not seem like much, but it was as grave as being a war-torn country. As this went on, the city attracted the attention of neighboring cities, which offered their military might to subdue the alarming increase in crime. But when those sent to fight didn’t return and numerous distress calls were sent forth, the alarm was raised yet again. This time around, it was because some videos were leaked, and

District Chief Of Human Research Affairs
Finnian’s body went cold. It was akin to being seen through by the principal. Finnian was known as an unrepentant dawdler in everything. He’d always move slowly and was often taunted by Martin for being slower than a snail. Unfortunately, this habit of his affected his punctuality in school. There were times when he’d come to class after three classes were over. And some other times he’d get to school during lunchtime. By now, every commissioner working in the school had noted this behavior of his and reported it to the principal.Finnian didn’t know what to say to defend himself and simply replied,“I understand sir. I’ll do my best from now on.”The principal nodded,“That’s fine. That will be it for our little meeting. I hope to see more outstanding qualities in the next trial.”The principal beamed a smile as he sent the students off,“Seek the commissioners for more details.”Outside the office, Finnian felt relieved the meeting was over. It was sort of embarrassing being scolded

A Trip To The Principal's Office
Seeing the girls enlightened faces made the commissioner smile more. Stephanie was more convinced by it than anyone else. “Of course, that has to be it!” she took a deep breath, “I’ve been thinking about this for a while; it felt like my head was going to explode.” Stephanie wasn’t the only one who shared this sentiment. They all exchanged their views about it, as the commissioner listened. “However,” her voice trailed off, drawing the attention of the students once again. “However, what?” Stephanie asked. “However,” the commissioner smiled. “It could also be that Finnian’s enhancement is as good as his ability. He could be one of those who tend to keep their abilities private. It’s not really against the rules to do so, hence we have quite a few of them.” Saying this, she turned to one of the elites, Emma Graham. “Emma, you’re both in the same class. Maybe there’s something about him you noticed that we haven’t.” Emma was surprised at being unexpectedly called upon. She thought b

Commissioner Julia
“Quit your fussing,” Benji said coolly. “It’s not the end of the world if he joins us.”“Hey, whose side are you on?” Caesar fumed.“There are no sides to this. Compared to us, the girls did a better job. We no doubt messed up in the trial. The sooner you accept that the better.”Benji was no sage, but he tended to be a realist when necessary. He too had lost to Finnian but that he wasn’t fuming like Caesar didn’t mean he wasn’t hurt too. Caesar had nothing to say. Or rather, anything he said would be of no use. He gnashed his teeth silently and grumbled inside.…The winner of the female category, Feigh Omah, was also undergoing treatment in the elite ward. Her mates weren’t resentful toward her but they more or less faked smiles to ease up the atmosphere. Feigh was a decent fighter even among the elite, so although some of them had their misgivings, it was easier to accept nonetheless.“The boys are having a hard time it seems…” said Tania, one of the elites. With a height below ave

After effect
“Hey,” Finnian piped up. “I’ve got a question for you.” He turned to Joel. “What is it?” “I’ve fought both you and Evan and you both excel in speed. But I’ve been wondering for a while now… who’s faster between you both?” It was just as Finnian had said, both Joel and Evan excelled in terms of speed. And although he asked this question, he knew deep down who was more problematic to deal with. Simulating his fight with Joel and Evan, Finnian found it a bit surprising that Joel posed more of a threat than the elite! Joel’s physique would throw anyone off about what enhancements he excelled in. Only by fighting him would one come to figure out that this meaty fella wasn’t in any way to be trifled with. Speed aside, Finnian also felt that Joel was a good fighter too. For someone his, he was both flexible and agile. The same thing went for Evan. Finnian simulated his fight with the elite, and though the latter was quite something, he fell short of Joel in some ways. In terms of speed,

How'd You Do It?
Martin walked over to Finnian’s bed. He too had a couple of scratches that required attention, but not as bad as his friend. “You look horrible,” He snickered.“Yeah well… you’re fat.” Finnian couldn’t come up with a retort and snapped with that instead.Martin slightly frowned, “That’s low… even for you.”“You didn’t give me much of a choice. Besides, aren’t you supposed to be on bed rest, what are you doing here?”“I heard you were in a terrible condition and wanted to check if you were dead yet,” Martin shrugged. “Also, unlike you, I don’t badly need bed rest; I can move around as I want.”Finnian faked a smile, “Good for you, now leave me alone. With you around, I don’t think I can recover at all.”And before Finnian could finish his sentence, Martin already made himself comfortable by perching on a corner of his bed. Finnian already expected this and didn’t bother to struggle.“Sure, make yourself comfortable. It’s not like I need the space or anything…” said Finnian sarcastical

Declared Winners
The students were awe-struck by Finnian’s performance in the trial. The crowd unconsciously shifted for the lad to walk through; not a single opposition. With how silent everyone was, even the slightest whisper was audible. Finnian’s expression was cut from stone; he spared no one a single glance. Bystanders obviously would think he was putting on an attitude, not knowing he currently wasn’t seeing properly. His left eye was wounded and covered with bandages while he couldn’t see with the other without his glasses. No matter the reason for it, all added to the intense bearing of his performance. Even if some people had something to say, they couldn’t say a word. Getting to his initial position, he was suddenly greeted by a slight punch to his wounded shoulder. His eyes contorted from the pain as he angrily turned to see who had done it. “What, you want to fight me?” Martin had a wicked smile hanging on his face. Seeing it was his friend, Finnian’s anger subsided, or rather; the la

"Un... believable..."
The one arguing with Doyle wanted to laugh but restrained himself, “You’re taking this too personal; that’s why. It’s no one’s fault the elites are that strong. It makes no difference if you hate them or not.”“You’re not getting the point,” Doyle cut in. “The elites are strong indeed, but why can’t someone else be strong as well?” This was his argument.The crowd around them was stirred when Doyle said this. Most of them were passive toward the elites and Doyle’s statement pointed their minds in another direction. The mixed crowd was provoked into an atmosphere of intense arguments, to the point where the commissioners had to step in to maintain decorum.“Please remain silent, the counting isn’t over.” Commissioner Glenn announced. This was supposed to quell the intense atmosphere, but the reverse happened.Not yet done? Who else was left?The commissioners stepped in again and the noise died down. Over at the counting station, Finnian had a look of indifference, but truth be told, h

Taking The Center Stage
Finnian’s result so far was indeed intimidating compared to that of his peers. The female category loathed him still, but they had to admit that he had taken them unawares. He was among those least expected to achieve much in the trial, and you couldn’t blame them for thinking like this. When it came to bulk physical appearances, Finnian was without a doubt at the bottom of the list. The few times he participated in school sports was a disaster. He never even made it past tryouts in most cases. One time, he tried participating in a race but his weights dragged him down and his team lost. That was the very last time he was seen near anything sporty.Teenagers had a nasty way of spreading rumors and dragging someone’s name into the mud. Finnian was the butt of all jokes for almost an entire school year. Although this didn’t lead to him being bullied, as that was against the rules, it still hurt to be overlooked by your peers. Finnian did well to develop a thick skin to all the comments

The Counting Continues
The crowd became increasingly agitated but soon became calm because another name had popped up on the screen. The counting continued!Everyone had something to say but swallowed it to not make a fuss out of nothing. After all, it wasn’t a crime if Finnian’s skill and raw combat prowess could get him this far. Some thought he cheated but even they knew that was near impossible. Anyone who could pull it off might be seen as the greatest mastermind of all time. The eleventh name was a rather promising student and the one who had been Finnian’s opponent in the simulation, Joel Adric.The kid named Joel can be considered one of the few students who drew the attention of the organization besides the elite and special class. His records so far drew Centurion’s attention because, in terms of speed, there wasn’t anyone who could match up to him, except for Evan. And even at that, Centurion couldn’t conclude who the fastest was between them. Also, in terms of combat prowess, he was among the fi
