Chapter 20

The room we entered is just a simple room. With a television and a couch in front of it for entertainment I suppose. There's also a small pantry area for those that wants to eat while waiting for their turn. It's already five hours ago since we entered this room and I was just sitting in the corner of the room while Mr. President kept on moving around. I was just playing with my ability when I suddenly heard him talk.

"You know you were only here for a few days yet you managed to be the talk of the whole school already." I looked at him boredly.

"And what about it?" He looked at me and frowned. "What? Am I supposed to do something?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"Aren't you happy? You already got the attention of the whole school." I squinted my eyes at him and scoffed.

"You see Mr. President, I am not like those attention seekers and whores that you call by the name of Venice and her friends. That is if she even thinks of them as her friends. I prefer to stay on the side and watch. However, your obnoxious ass kept on bothering me and I can't let myself be bothered by the likes of you." I chuckled humorlessly.

I could see irritation form in his face as he stared at me.

"By 'the likes of me' you mean?" he asked, quoting.

"I mean some spoiled and bored kid finding something to play with" he gaped at me as he heard what I just said.

"How- you- how dare you-"

"Oh please you technically just accused me of being an attention seeker earlier" I rolled my eyes at him still feeling and looking bored.

He took a deep breath to calm himself.

He can't do anything to me here. Our turn to fight is near and he needs to rest or at least relax to not lose energy.

"Touche'" I smirked at his response.

"AND OUR LAST PAIR FOR THIS TRIAL. ZACHARY DEON DEINSFORD AND WITHER ROSE VERRONE!!" I stood up when I heard our names. I could immediately hear screams and squeals from the people in the arena the moment they heard the president's name.

I rolled my eyes and looked around the room as I felt it move completely 360 degrees.

Well that's surprising.

When it finally stopped moving Mr. President opened the door where we came from earlier knowing that this is my first time in this trial. He went out the door followed by me and the screams and cheers became much louder if that's even possible. There are some people that are cheering me on, however most of them are mocking me and laughing at me for being the president's partner in this trial.

Oh please, it's him that has the honour of being my partner here though does it still count if he doesn't know anything?

I shaked my head to clear my thoughts. I don't need distractions.

We walked straight till we climbed the stairs to the stage of the arena.

I looked around as we stopped right in the middle of the stage. Students that are already done with their fight are sitting in bleachers that's surrounding us. Basically all of them are already sitting in those bleachers since we're already the last pair. I looked up only to be met by the sight of the blue sky. The weather's wonderful today.

I looked around in hopes to find Sapphire but I frowned when I didn't see her. We are the last pair so no one's supposed to be in those waiting rooms as I call it. I looked around more to see anyone familiar from our class yet I didn't see them. Though I saw the principal in a high stadium watching us from there.

Something's wrong. I wonder what it is.

Suddenly all of our classmates entered the arena and the audience immediately screamed and cheered more not expecting this.

I frowned more, aren't we supposed to fight a dragon?

I scanned my classmates and noticed that there are some people that I haven't met before.

"For this last game, the pair will be fighting the whole class-A of school with the addition of the rest of last year's top 20 rankers because of a strength gap between this pair and the other students. This is to see your full potential. Whoever steps outside of the stage will immediately be out of the fight." The crowd scoffed at that, basically saying that it's not true.

I smirked at their ignorance.

"How about we have a bet" I looked at Mr.President when I heard him whisper that to me. Also how our classmates started surrounding us. I raised an eyebrow at him signalling him to continue. "Whoever loses will do anything the winner will say to them within a week. Whoever finishes their opponents first will win regardless of it's number."

I looked around us thinking of the pros and cons.

"Fine" he grinned at my answer.

We stood back to back in our fighting stance in order to avoid surprise attacks.

I noticed how there's a total of 19 people that stepped back once while the others started circling us. I figured they must be last year's top 20 rankers.

I tilted my head a bit and looked at them, mocking.

"What? Will we just stare at each other here?"

"Let's get this over with" I said and attacked.

Due to the fight, Mr.President and I were separated. Not that I mind though. I looked at the president's side and noticed that there are more people who want to fight me. Except the top 20 rankers of course since they seem to be just watching us. Hoping that the president and I will be tired after this fight which will increase their chance of winning since we already lose some energy.

Kicks and punches and dodges were all I made for the past 10 minutes. Pushing my opponents out of the arena, some more injured than the others. By the time that I was already finished, I smirked as I saw Mr.President just about to give his last blow to his last opponent.

I fakely gasped when he's finally done. "Is this true? I won Mr.President"

He looked at me and rolled his eyes as he replied. "Oh please we still have more waiting for us"

By this both of us turned our head to our remaining opponents. Smiling wickedly as we are both pumped with excitement to win the bet. They all visibly gulped as our aura changed to both excitement and thrill.

Last year's Top 20 rankers...
