Business Proposal

Troy's eyes widen in pain as Gideon's fingers grip his jaw, forcing his mouth open. He lets out a muffled scream as the healthcare team starts to arrive, witnessing this unusual situation.

Gideon smirks as he continues to taunt Troy, "Come on, Troy, say 'aaahh.' You'll need all the help you can get after that crash." With no other option, Troy opens his mouth as Gideon removes his makeshift paper ear muffs and inserts them into Troy's mouth.

"Mmmmph! Mmmmph!" Troy struggles, but Gideon forces his mouth closed.

As soon as he's done, Gideon stands up and dusts his hands, making way for the healthcare team to carry Troy to the infirmary.

Onlookers, a mix of laughter and disbelief, watch as the unexpected turn of events unfolds in this unconventional fight. Gideon has outsmarted Troy, not through brute force, but through clever tactics and wit.

Gideon steps further back, satisfied with his victory. He may have just silenced the attention-seeking bully and proven that intelligence and strategy can prevail over brute strength.

The crowd continues to murmur about the match, and it's clear that Gideon's unorthodox approach to the fight has left a lasting impression.

The teacher does not appreciate his duel because he didn't fight, which was the main point of the duel. She despises him even more, believing that he does not understand the concept of martial arts and is abusing the privilege he has in the school that many have dreamed of but cannot attain.

Sighing, she approves of his win. She never mentioned anything about using tactics; she only said, "win and do not withdraw."

The remaining fights were quite interesting, and as the last subject of the day, the class closed, and everyone went home.

"Gideon, go and meet Kai-sensei," the teacher reminds Gideon of his punishment for losing.

With a gloomy expression, he nods and heads towards the exercise room. Just as he's about to open the door, a voice calls out to him.

"Is this a good spot for our discussion?" Priscilla asks Gideon.

"Ahh, I almost forgot," he says. "I don't see anything wrong with it. So, what do you want?"

Most of the students have gone home, so there's no one passing by at that moment. It's only Priscilla and Gideon standing in front of the gym building.

"Me? I want to make you a business proposal," Priscilla says with a smirk.

"Explain," Gideon says.

"I want to offer you a new life, a life you dream of, but the only difference is, this life won't be yours; it would be mine."

"Hmmm, what a tempting offer," Gideon says, rubbing his jaw. "But how do you know the kind of life I dream of?"

"That's simple, it's because it's the kind of life everybody dreams of, to live in everlasting wealth."

"What's your proposal?"

"I want you."
