Zian stared at the hefty girl who was standing side by side with the master. She is about 6.5 feets tall and was a well built student. She had a huge armor protecting her, a sword by her side with a shield on her left hand.
This girl standing in front of Zian and Titan was Angela Wick. The best student in her entire academy. Why would the master choose Angela Wick to go up against little Titan? Was this some kind of a joke or a suicide mission? Titan stood no chance against Angela Wick and even the master knew that. Doesn't she think she is over estimating Titan's capabilities? Or is it that she just wants to teach this little creature a lesson? Whatever it is, this was far too cruel.
Titan sighed inwardly. Indeed this is going to be a difficult task but what can she do except confront this mini giant? Thankfully, she had a backup plan.
"Are you ready?" asked the master. Angela Wick looked at Titan condescendingly and scoffed. 'Is this little boy the reason for my being here? Is the master underestimating me? Well this shouldn't take long. He'll be down in seconds.' She murmured. She took a few steps backwards and put down her sword and shield then removed her heavy armor.
Now that she had let down all her arms, she was still about two and a half feet taller than Titan but her body wasn't looking too scary as it was before in fact, it was more petite than expected. This made Zian relieved a bit but the fear was still apparent. Angela Wick has never lost a match against any student in the entire school.
Angela walked up to Titan with a smack on her face and stretched her hand out for a shake which Titan received. Thankfully, this Angela Wick has no cunning actions under her sleeves.
She then again stepped backwards then muttered "Let's get this over and done with.". They began to walk in circles and as a senior, Angela allowed Titan to take the first push which she narrowly escaped.
"It seems I've underestimated the tiny one. He seems faster than expected." Angela thought.
Asides swordsmanship, Titan was also tought archery, fighting with bared hands and other skills.
Angela knew now that she had to increase her agility so she immediately turned her hands into a fist and began to return punches on Titan. She was fast and her punch contained exclusive strength even Titan could not keep up with her speed. She couldn't attack even once all she was doing was trying to block all the punch that was directed to her vitals with her hands but in no time, Titan fell to the ground with a 'thump'.
She stared at Angela Wick who showed no mercy. After several failed attacks and defence against Angela, She then tried her backup plan which was surprisingly her amulet which was hung around her neck. She held the amulet with her hands and thought, 'help' this was considered cheating but whatever. Who would find out? But to her surprise, she called out to her amulet countless times but nothing happened it was as if the amulet was asleep now that she needed it the most and once again, she suffered a devastating blow from Angela that sent her flying 10meters through the training field. She rolled on the ground and spat out a mouth full of blood.
Seeing that Titan was not backing down and was trying to stand back on his feet, Angela Wick became so furious. No one had ever made her spend so much time on the field. The fact the it was a boy was more annoying. She could feel her blood boiling and in no time, she walked up to Titan and delivered a super kick to finish the job. As soon as her leg swung in air, a protective blue shield formed round Titan repelling Angela's kick and in no time, Angela's body flew to the other end of the field and she became unconscious from the repelling effect of the kick .
Titan who had her eyes shut tightly, was waiting for an excruciating pain to be delivered but when she got none after a while, she opened her eyes but couldn't understand why she wasn't hit. By this time, the blue shield had already disappeared so she had no clue why she was safe and why Angela was no where in sight.
She turned to look at Zian and the master to find out what happened but when her eyes came in contact with theirs, Zian had her eyes widened and she had an expression of someone who had seen a ghost. The master on the other hand had a solemn expression on her face which was totally contrasting that of Zian. She was unpredictable at the time and this solemn expression on her face frightened titan even more than the look on Zian's face.
The master remained fixed at one spot and didn't lift even a finger. This act of hers only made titans heart beat faster. She had no idea if she has lost or not but from what she remembered, she fell to the ground. Could it be that Angela Wick backed out?
What was running in Titan's mind was the complete opposite of what the master and zian were thinking about. Apart from the fact that a shield appeared from no where, Titan had a completely different look. Her hair had turned silver and her eyes were completely blue. This look was completely abnormal but Titan had no clue of how she looked.
Zian was not just shocked at how the match turned out but was also astounded by this little creature' look. She didn't even check the sundial to see how long the match took. This was truly a sight to behold. She had seen a lot in only one day and she felt like she was going to faint very soon. "Who is this mysterious boy and how's all this even possible? Am I sleeping? Is this all just a dream?" She wondered. A lot of questions were floating in mind but she knew no one had the answers.
With an expressionless face, the master ordered, "Open the scroll. And read what's in it." Titan was confused but hesitantly, she took it from her pocket and opened it. But what she saw was rather surprising. She looked up at the master confusingly. The bright blue light that emanated from her eyes made it hard for Zian to stare directly into her eyes.
The master turned back and began to walk away not waiting for Titan's answer. She had her arms folded behind her as she walked away. When she got to the wooden door that led to the exit of the field, she turned and spoke to Zian who was still stupefied. "Show this girl to her room and don't speak of anything you saw here today. Also ask some student to help Angela to the school health place."
'She just called me a girl. Does she know? But how?' Titan wondered. Zian on the other hand was to surprised that she didn't even hear the master call Titan a girl.
As they walked to the room where Titan would be staying, the blue color of her eyes had disappeared but the color of her hair remained the same. Titan walked slowly to the room assigned to her. She was lost in her thoughts as there were a lot of things she could not understand like, how the master knew her true identity and she also could not help but think about the scroll. Why was it..... Why was the scroll... 'BLANK?'
