It was also at that moment when Warren noticed Fabian’s presence as well. He was equally as startled as Fabian was as the two eventually walked up to each other. “You’re… The champion of Sunnydale’s Youth Taekwondo team, right? I watched your national match last year!” said Fabian, respect reflected in his eyes. “That’s me, and you got second place in this year’s Salford Youth Taekwondo match, didn’t you? I heard it was a close spar and that you could easily have ended up being the champion as well!” replied Warren, still a little surprised to see him there. To think that both of them had been invited by the school to perform. It didn’t take long for the other contestants and the audience to begin looking in their direction after realizing that the two martial arts experts were having a conversation. “Yeah… I recall that you got to a pretty high rank in the nationals too. Truth be told, I’ve always wanted to spar with you. Looks like this will be a great opportunity to do jus
Even though the event was about to end, the crowd only seemed to have grown larger. Everyone wanted to watch the match between Warren and Fabian. The entire stadium was now so filled to the brim that in a way, it resembled a busy beehive. Warren and Fabian themselves were currently warming up. “Both of them are equally amazing! You know, Fabian’s the first runner up in our county while Warren’s the champion of Sunnydale! Their reputations are sky high!” “Oh? Well this is definitely going to be interesting then! I’m still supporting Fabian though! Let’s hope he brings honor to the Salford Province!” “I personally support Warren! He just looks so experienced!” Almost all of the audience members were discussing the lively event among themselves, and that included Gerald’s classmates. “Say Gerald, who do you think will win?” asked a few girls curiously as they surrounded him. “I think they’re both equally great! I really can’t say!” “Aww, come on! Don’t you know Warren to
“What exactly is your problem?” huffed Gerald. “Humph! So Fabian lost, big deal! If you think you’re that good then why don’t you get on that stage and fight instead?!” yelled Isabelle. It was crystal clear that she was simply directing all her anger and frustration on Gerald. She even picked her bottle up and tried splashing water all over Gerald! Thankfully, he was able to avoid getting drenched in time. However, he was now extremely tempted to give her a tight slap across the face for doing that. Luckily, their classmates stepped in and pulled Isabelle aside to prevent the situation from further escalating. Maia herself simply glanced at Gerald for a brief moment before returning her gaze to Warren who seemed to be exuding a radiant aura. She knew he wouldn’t let anyone down. At that moment, a judge walked up the stage and approached Warren before saying, “I’ve honestly never met someone your age to hold that much skill and grace! You truly are the champion of Sunnydale!
A short while later, Jasmine returned though this time, she was donning her uniform. Her hair had been tied into a ponytail and the whole look complemented her beauty perfectly. While most of the guys were gushing over her, many of the girls were green with envy. Even Gerald had his eyes fixated on Jasmine. He hadn’t really expected her to know how to fight. Seeing her, Warren began blindfolding himself with a black strip of fabric. His action immediately swooned the audience. How cool and manly! After making sure that the knot was tight enough, Warren then taunted, “Come at me, now!” While his actions were condescending, Jasmine didn’t say a word. Instead, she lunged at him with lightning-quick speed! With a loud thud, Warren was kicked right in the face! He wasn’t able to block or even dodge her attack. He only realized what was happening after being sent flying out of the ring and crashing hard onto the ground. Everything simply happened too quickly for him to even p
Wyatt was still busy helping Warren up when he heard his sister calling out to him. Realizing that someone was trying to pick a fight with her, he immediately felt a burning rage in his chest as he rushed toward them. He had already been embarrassed enough by the fact that he didn’t even have the courage to challenge a girl who was able to beat Warren up. After all, he was one of the best fighters in the school. Now that his sister was being bullied, he simply couldn’t allow his ego to be crushed any further. If he didn’t stand up for her now, he would definitely be the biggest disappointment to his family! “How dare you! Do you have a death wish or something?!” roared Wyatt as he launched himself forward, directing a kick at Gerald’s chest. “Oh god, Wyatt’s mad!” “Of course he is! Not only did that guy hit his sister, he’s probably equally as angry at himself for not accepting her challenge!” “I know right? Wyatt’s definitely going to take it all out on that guy!” Ever
“Come fight her like a man, you coward!” yelled Mindy as she looked at Gerald. She honestly wanted to see both of them spar. “Yeah! Fight like a man!” chanted several of the other girls in the stadium as well. Gerald could only shake his head with a wry smile on his face. There was no way he was going to be able to worm out of this one. Knowing that, he could only agree to the challenge and slowly got onto the main stage. Throughout his brief training with Finnley, he had been taught a total of five self-defense moves. Each move was different, prioritizing on protecting the user from either punches, kicks, or weapons both long and short. The fifth technique, on the other hand, could be utilized under situations where one was being restricted from the back. While all these would definitely help Gerald defend himself should he come face to face with danger, they were still essentially only self-defense moves. They were completely useless in a fight like this. Upon entering th
Hearing that, Mindy immediately left her room to notify her teachers. However, she returned not too long after. “None of the teachers are around, Jasmine. The rest of the adults in the mansion aren’t present either. They’re having their meeting in the meeting room! Have you forgotten? Today’s the day they host their annual big meeting!” explained Mindy. “Ah, I just remembered. No matter then, I’ll just talk to them tomorrow,” replied Jasmine with a nod as she sat on her bed. It didn’t take long before Jasmine realized that Mindy looked as though she still had more to say. “What’s wrong?” enquired Jasmine. Hearing that, Mindy then skipped over to Jasmine’s side before cheekily asking, “Say Jasmine, what do you think they talk about in that mysterious annual family meeting that only our family’s males can attend?” “How should I know?” replied Jasmine as she shook her head before realizing something. “…What are you scheming of, Mindy?” asked Jasmine as she looked Mindy in th
“Indeed… After the young master passed on, no other Fenderson was able to challenge our rivaling family. After all, you were already at an old age when that happened, big brother. It truly is a shame… Thank god our little Jasmine is extremely talented. Her skills could easily match the young master’s! With enough training from us, she could become even more amazing!” said another old man. “While I’ve considered allowing her to participate in this, she’s still Ethan’s only daughter. She’s the last of her bloodline! I’ve been protecting her from the outside world for the longest time… I just don’t have the heart to let her in on all this!” exclaimed the Fenderson patriarch. “She’s still young and she’ll eventually be married off as well. I should also mention that not even young master Ethan had been able to handle the family. What can she do? Her parents had both been killed in that incident, do you think they’d hesitate to take down a little girl?” said another middle-aged man with
