Elimination Battle (3)

In just a few minutes' time, the names were announced. 

"No way…" Juin sighed when he saw the name of his opponent on the list that was currently being distributed out to everyone. "Paul Patterson. Isn't he… only 10?" Juin looked at Tucker, hoping to be proven wrong. 

Sadly, he was right. Juin had met the boy briefly, while they were on the way to Atlantis from Earth. The boy, Paul, was extremely gentle and was constantly stuck to his teacher's side, ignoring most people who tried to talk to him.

"Well, I guess… Just try not to hurt him too much," Tucker said with a chuckle. "Oh, come on! Given that most of the participants are younger than you, you should know that there's a high chance for you to be paired with at least one kid."

"I can't beat up a kid!" Juin pointed out. He then pointed at the kid who was now talking to his teacher and said, "I'd be made fun of by everyone! He's like half my size!"
