Tiraz, his amusement undeterred by Tristan's display of supernatural agility, focused his attention on the battle at hand.He knew he couldn't let Tristan's cheating tactics undermine his own determination.As Tristan lunged forward with a swift kick aimed at Tiraz's midsection, Tiraz reacted instinctively.He crossed his forearms in a block, his hands absorbing the impact of the blow. A crack echoed through the training arena, causing a momentary pause in the action.Tiraz looked at his hands in surprise, a mixture of concern and humor playing on his face."Oh, Tristan, I think you broke my hands! I guess I'll have to write you an apology letter... once they heal!"Tristan's smirk faltered for a brief moment, but he quickly regained his composure."You're tougher than you look, Tiraz. But don't get too comfortable. I have plenty more tricks up my sleeve."Their banter continued, fueling their determination to outwit and outperform each other.The spectators, unaware of Tristan's use
Mr. Arkram leaned against his desk, his gaze fixed on the attentive students before him.With a knowing smile, he began to speak in his characteristic cool and composed manner."Power," he began, his voice carrying a hint of mystery, "is a fascinating concept, my dear students. It exists within each and every one of us, waiting to be awakened, waiting to be harnessed."He paused for a moment, allowing his words to sink in, before continuing."During special cases, such as intense battles or moments of extreme emotional turmoil, individuals may experience the awakening of their dormant powers. It is a transformative process, unlocking abilities beyond ordinary human potential."Tiraz and his friends listened intently, their previous encounter with Tristan still fresh in their minds.They now understood that what had transpired during their fight went beyond mere physical prowess.Mr. Arkram went on, his voice resonating with a sense of intrigue."But here's something fascinating, my yo
The Academy bell rang, signaling the end of the day's classes.The students dispersed, some chatting animatedly about their classes and the teachings, whereas others talked about awakened abilities and their future plans.Tiraz said his goodbyes to Luna, Aria, Marx, and Kael, a sense of determination shining in his eyes as he made his way towards his bicycle.Tristan and his group had already left from view. Mr. Arkram always used to stay behind the classroom whenever the day ended.As he walked, Tiraz couldn't help but replay the events of the battle in his mind. He flexed his hand, still amazed at how it had been miraculously healed."I thought it was broken," he muttered to himself, shaking his head in disbelief."But then Mr. Arkram... he changed everything with just a snap of his fingers."Tiraz's thoughts wandered as he continued his solitary walk.He remembered the moment he had regained consciousness in his class after being knocked out during the battle.The pain that had cou
After his job as a delivery boy, Tiraz finally reached his small makeshift house.He sighed with relief, grateful for the chance to relax before the training session later that night.As he stepped inside, he closed the door behind him and took a moment to savor the familiar comfort of his humble abode.Glancing at the clock on the wall, Tiraz realized it was already 9:30 PM. He had limited time to prepare before heading to the city park.With a sense of urgency, he quickly changed out of his work clothes and into something more comfortable.As he moved about his tiny kitchen, Tiraz turned on the television to provide some background noise.The news program blared into the room, reporting various events happening in the city. It was a routine he had grown accustomed to, finding solace in the familiarity of the television's presence.While the news anchors talked about mundane topics, Tiraz's attention was momentarily diverted when a breaking news segment caught his ear.The reporter's
Everyone stood in stunned silence as Mr. Arkram revealed that they would be hunting down the serial killer.Aria's voice broke the silence, filled with disbelief and concern."But Mr. Arkram, how are we supposed to find the killer? We're not even awakened, and even the awakened heroes have failed to catch them," she said, her voice trembling slightly.Tristan, unable to resist the opportunity to mock Tiraz and his friends, interjected arrogantly, "Yeah, what can a bunch of amateurs like you do? You'll only get in the way."Tiraz shot back with a mischievous grin,"Oh, Tristan, don't worry. I promise not to trip you up if we're running away from danger."A chorus of laughter erupted from the rest of the group, lightening the tense atmosphere momentarily.Mr. Arkram raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by the banter."Enough, children," Mr. Arkram said, his voice carrying a sense of authority."You need not worry. I will be supervising you all throughout, ensuring your safety."He exuded a
Tristan clenched his fists, his muscles tensing, ready to confront the threat head-on.Tiraz, however, held his ground, his mind racing with thoughts of Mr. Arkram's words.Remembering their two options, Tiraz whispered to Tristan, "We have a choice, Tristan. What do you say?""Do we run? or do we take this battle head-on?"Tristan sneered, his arrogance seeping into his words."You can run if you're too much of a pussy. I'll take care of this."Tiraz's eyes narrowed, a defiant glint in his gaze."I'm asking in case you're pissing your pants."Tristan's lips curled into a disdainful smirk, but he refrained from responding.He knew deep down that he needed Tiraz's support, even if he would never admit it out loud.Side by side, they took battle stances, their bodies tensed and ready to face the imminent danger.The golden aura that surrounded Tristan began to emanate once again, a manifestation of his awakened power.As their eyes locked with the sinister gaze of the serial killer, the
The atmosphere around the killer seemed to crackle with an aura of darkness and malevolence.The sheer intensity of his assault threatened to overwhelm Tristan and Tiraz.Drawing upon his awakened power, Tristan unleashed a flurry of blows, his strikes infused with a newfound strength.Each punch carried the weight of his determination and resolve.Yet, despite the force behind his attacks, the killer proved to be an elusive opponent, evading most of Tristan's strikes with inhuman agility.Tiraz, his wounds stinging, refused to let the pain hinder his resolve.He darted around the battlefield, seeking openings and exploiting the killer's moments of vulnerability.His movements were swift and calculated, his strikes aimed with precision.Their battle reached a critical juncture as Tristan and Tiraz launched a coordinated assault.With a synchronized effort, they aimed their strikes at the killer, their combined strength surging through the air.But the killer, sensing their intent, twi
Tiraz and Tristan sprinted through the park, their hearts pounding in their chests as they sought to escape the unsettling emptiness that surrounded them.The once familiar pathway was now cloaked in darkness and shadows, the trees looming like ominous sentinels.They came to a sudden halt, their breaths ragged, as they realized they were trapped in the heart of the park.The dense forest pressed in on them from all sides, leaving them vulnerable and exposed.Tiraz's eyes darted around, his senses on high alert."Tristan, we're surrounded. We need to find a way out of here."Tristan's gaze swept the area, his mind racing to find a solution."There's no way out," he muttered, his voice laced with frustration."We're cornered."Suddenly, a flash of movement caught Tiraz's attention. Without warning, a knife hurtled through the air, aimed directly at his face.In a split second, Tristan reacted, his reflexes honed by his awakened powers.He reached out, grabbing the knife just inches awa
