Confident Smile

Back at the stadium...

The whole place was abnormally silent. It was as if no one was there. If not for the fact that people could be seen filling the stadium, no one would believe that there were people even in the stadium.

The quietness of the stadium originated from the fact that everyone in the stadium was staring at the huge screen in the middle of the stadium with complicated emotions that filled their eyes. Some eyes were filled with surprise, others were filled with amazement and others were even filled with terror. They all had their eyes fixed on one thing. The Huge screen in the middle of the stadium.

The screen showed the face of a teenager. He was a tall handsome boy around the age of sixteen. He had black, short hair tight in a ponytail which reveals his thin, menacing face. His heavy amber eyes, set charmingly within their sockets, were currently looking at another person who was also being displaced on the screen with surprise. As for who this boy was, it was naturally, Lance. And the boy he was also looking at was none other than Travis.

"Di, Did, Travis punch just manage to move Lance?" a voice filled with astonishment and bewilderment suddenly sounded through the stadium. It was the voice of Mr James. He slightly whispered those words but because the stadium was silent, everyone heard him.

"He really did it! He manages to move lance even though he is a normal person!"

"OMG!! That boy has truly hidden well."

"This is simply abnormal! Abnormal!"

"A normal person moving a person with superpowers with his punch? that is insane!"

"No maybe, he has a superpower and has decided to hide it!"

"Woah..."

The previously silent stadium suddenly burst into an uproar. Voices of disbelief continued to sound through the stadium. They were completely shocked and stunned by Travis' performance. some declared that Travis was a normal person but others even said that Travis must be a person with superpowers else he wouldn't have been able to punch Lance.

At this moment, James had already gotten out of his capsule and was looking at the screen with complicated emotions in his eyes. He remembered how he had planned to lure Lance into chasing Travis. If he had known that Travis had a superpower that was strong enough to help him contend with Lance, he wouldn't have wasted his time trying to lure Lance away. Yes, he believed that Travis had powers. That was because he deeply believed that without having superpowers, there was no way that Travis could harm Lance as he had fought Lance before and knew how strong he was.

Visitor's Lounge...

At this moment, Mr Wright had his eyes fixed on the screen as complicated emotions filled his eyes. Even Mrs Rose was staring at the screen with disbelief. She had never expected Travis to have superpowers. Moreover, his strength is on par with someone like Lance.

"That boy has really hidden well," Mr Wright sighed and said. Even he wasn't expecting such a huge surprise. Hearing what Mr Wright said, the rest of the people in the room all nodded their heads.

Mr Wright then turned his head towards Mrs Rose. Seeing Mr Wright turning his face towards her, Mrs Rose quickly asked him,

"Is there anything you might need?"

"Don't worry. I just wanted to tell you that that child is too ruthless. At first, he was part of the few people that I had high expectations for but it seems that he is letting me down.", Mr Wright said.

"Yes, I also had high expectations for him but it seems like he is not really serious"

"Yeah, he is too ruthless," the moment Mr Wright said this, countless voices erupted at the same time all agreeing with Mr Wright.

"This..." seeing this, Mrs Rose started to feel a headache. She knew that it was because Travis showed his talent that they were all acting like this. If Travis is to lose out, these oldcodgers will act as if they never knew him.

At the Death Ravine...

At this moment, Lance continued to look at Travis with a look of surprise. However, that look quickly turned into that of anger, realizing that he was attacked by someone he believed to be inferior to him. Even with that, He purposely restrained his anger whiles smiling.

"I see. So you have superpowers. That was why you were able to fight with me in the alley. Can you tell me which power it is?" Lance asked with a smile on his face.

But being quickwitted, Travis easily saw through his plan. Lance was afraid. He realized that Travis must be on his level since he was able to injure him from the punch earlier. Even though it was minor injuries, Lance knew that only people who were at least on or above his level could cause harm to him.

That was why he began to act cautiously around him. He wanted to find out what Travis' superpowers were. If it was a high-level one, he would simply drop the matter. After all, he was a member of the first-class families whiles Travis was not. So, he believed that Travis wouldn't dare hurt him.

However, if Travis' superpowers were weak and he was only acting arrogantly, he would suffer enormously. Travis also understood this so he replied in a way that shocked even Lance.

"Why should I tell someone like you?", he said.

When Travis said this, a look of surprise appeared on Lance's face but it quickly changes into one of anger a few seconds later. He had anticipated all the kinds of answers that Travis would give him, but he never expected him to answer this way. In a fit of anger, Lance roared angrily at Travis.

"Do you think that you are someone that I must give respect to? A mere weak human dares to boast shamelessly in front of me!"

Sure enough, he revealed his real character after being insulted by Travis. Lance wasted no time attacking Travis. He had decided to attack with his dignity on the line. If Travis was as strong as he anticipated, then, he would lose his dignity if not, he would be able to beat the hell out of him whilst getting his revenge at the same time.

With all this in mind, Lance turned to look at Travis only to see a confident and mocking smile on his face. At that instant, Lance's heart sank thinking that he had lost all his dignity in one fight.
