"Blue, let's get started" I said to Blue as coach Michael finished talking. Me and Blue came up with a plan since we did not really know the capability or fighting standard of the contenders. We decided to collect data from the sparring arena as a precaution at least we would know what we were up against in the competition.
"Leave it all to me" replied Blue as the analytical ability of my eyes turned on immediately as numbers kept popping up one in front of me while assigning stats to the two guys sparring I was watching in real time, while he collected the data.
"How long will it take to collect everyone's data in the sparring arena?" I asked while looking around.
"we won't collect everyone's data today, your brain can not handle the calculations I'm be carrying out for such a long period of time, so we'll do it gradually" replied Blue as took a drag from his pipe with a smile on his face.
"Ok"
"Why are you standing there like an idiot" scolded coach Michael. I did not even realize that they were already advancing into the sparring arena.
"Sorry coach" I said while scratching my head, "I could not believe the size of this place" I added as Coach Michael kept on looking at me.
"Better get used to it because you'll be competing in places as big as this" he said.
"What do you mean place?" I asked, "isn't the competition held in the building?" I wondered as I looked at coach Michael confused.
"Grey, Enri, you should understand that the qualifiers and elimination round is being held here, the main competition will be held in different places in the city" explained Coach Michael as he looked at us seriously.
"What the…"
"That's why I'm telling you guys to keep a low profile because everybody participating in the AGC is here for a single reason, which is to display their immense talents in the hopes of getting sponsors who can help them get access to the best resources in the world" he explained further.
"So, all these guys are only here for the qualifiers and elimination round" I said with a shocked expression.
"That's not all, some people will not even have to participate in the qualifiers and elimination round but will move on to the next phase of the competition" said Coach Michael.
"Isn't that unfair to other contenders?" asked Enri.
"There is no such thing as fairness" said Coach Michael, "Those guys that won't participate in the first phase of the competition have already proven their strength and talents" said Coach Michael.
"Are you trying to say that those guys are the real people vying for the top positions in th competition?" asked Grey.
"No… look at it this way, those guys are already confirmed as the top talents in the competition but even among the people in the qualifiers and elimination round they are people who can also fight toe to toe against them which is what makes this phase the most watched phase" Coach Michael explained, "Don't over think things and just observe and try to get a feel for the strength of the contenders from sparring against them but don't use your whole strength you want to keep something hidden just in case, do you guys understand" he added.
"Yes" we answered.
"Good now go observe" he said before leaving.
The moment Coach Michael left, Grey and Enri had terrified expressions on their faces as they became lost in thoughts.
"Look at that expression" said Blue as he laughed, "This is an expression for the ages" he added with a sinister look on his face.
"I don't like your smile what are you planning?" I asked as I noticed his creepy smile, it was not something a child should look at or else they might end up with nightmares.
"Shush, you'll soon find out" he said.
Beep beep, their phones suddenly vibrated as they received messages at the same time.
opening the messages from an unknown ID, their expressions went from terrified to angry in a split second.
"Hyla" they both screamed as they lunged at me tackling me to the floor.
"What happened?" I asked confused.
"stop acting like you don't know" said Grey as he put me in a headlock as Enri restrained my movement in a single moment.
"I don't know" I replied.
"let's see how you're going to get out of this one" Grey said as he turned his attention to Enri saying "show him".
Enri immediately brought out his phone which had a picture of Grey and Enri with terrified expressions on their faces.
"I didn't do it. It was Blue, I swear" I replied while trying to hold back my laughter.
"Damn, I hate that guy" said Grey, "He better not get a physical body or I'm going to destroy him" said Grey as he slowly released me from the headlock.
"Destroy? No, that's too nice, I'll make him suffer forever" said Enri as he let me go.
Beep beep, their phones rang again, as they received new messages.
The messages read, "Dream on fools, I'm untouchable".
"Ahh" they screamed after they read the messages.
Without realizing everybody in the sparring arena was already looking at us, we had turned into the center of attention and everyone was looking at us.
They began to whisper here and there, I'm pretty sure they were wondering something along the lines of 'Who are these idiots? What are we doing? These guys are fools'
Smiling we hurriedly picked ourselves off the floor as we acted like everything that happened had nothing to do with us.
"Grey, that was a nice tackle and headlock" I said as I tried to make it seem like we were suddenly sparring.
"yeah, like I said you should watch you center of gravity and put in more power to balance when trying to break free from the headlock" said Grey.
"The coordination between the both of you was sublime" I said as I scratched my head.
If Coach Michael was here he would give himself a face slap.
