A Challenge and a bet

In the realm of absolute knowledge, the teacher's decree rings through the air, cutting through the stillness of the classroom. "Emma and Henry, please, step forth," resounds the call.Emma's eyes meet Henry's as the challenge is announced, a spark of mischief dancing within her gaze.~Hehe~ Her lips curl into a smirk aimed at Henry, a playful challenge in her eyes, as she rises from her seat and makes her way toward the instructor.Henry, bewildered, turns his gaze towards Gideon, yearning for an explanation to this unforeseen turn of events.Gideon meets Henry's gaze, offering a subtle shake of his head. "Sorry, dude. I'm pretty sure she's about to give you a run for your money. But hey, look at the bright side—she won't go for the kill," Gideon consoles, patting Henry's shoulder with a gentle touch."Before you start sympathizing with me, you can't be certain who'll emerge victorious," Henry asserts with a touch of pride."Oh, really? It's crystal clear to me. I doubt you'll even survive her initial three attacks," Gideon retorts."None of her attacks will even touch me," Henry proclaims, his pride evident."Now then, shall we make a wager? If you manage to dodge 10 of her attacks successfully, I'll oblige to any request you have. But if not, the tables will turn," Gideon proposes, an air of challenge in his words."That's an enticing offer I can't afford to pass up. It's a bet," Henry affirms, their crossed index fingers sealing the agreement.Henry grins triumphantly at Gideon before advancing towards the teacher.*Hopefully, my strategy pays off. Let's see how this unfolds. Don't let me down, princess,* Gideon muses, resting his chin on his fist.As both Emma and Henry approach the teacher, she hands a coin to Emma and directs them towards a transparent tube adjacent to the glass cubicle.The tube can accommodate two individuals, with separate ones designated for each gender.Henry enters the tube labeled "Boy," while Emma chooses the one meant for girls.~Tsssssss~The tube emits a distinctive sound as its doors seal shut, akin to water sizzling on a heated surface.In the next moment, the two students are drawn into the depths of the tube with a forceful gust of wind, as if being pulled by a vacuum."Aaaaaaaaah!" Henry's voice fills the air with a terrified scream, while Emma remains eerily composed.~Thooom!~ The tube comes to an abrupt stop, and Henry falls to his knees.~Tsssss~ The doors of the tube slowly open, sliding to the side.Emma emerges from the tube, exuding confidence. She surveys her surroundings, taking in the unfamiliar training room.It spans 70 meters in length and 50 meters in width, completely constructed of metallic walls.At the far end of the room stands a podium, its short stature adorned with intricate technological designs.Your typical metallic silver body with a blue lining, emitting a subtle glow.As Emma familiarizes herself with the environment, it being her inaugural visit, Henry grapples with an upset stomach.Meanwhile, the students above can witness everything unfolding within the training room.The glass cubicle now acts as an output device, projecting all the action transpiring in the training room."[Henry, Emma, can you hear me?]" the teacher's voice resonates through a speaker within the training room."Yes, ma'am," Emma responds, while Henry manages a feeble thumbs up, still clutching his stomach.[Firstly, one of you needs to select a location or backdrop for your duel. You'll flip the coin, and the victor will approach the A.I. box over there to communicate your chosen setting. The entire battleground is a virtual sandbox, mirroring your imagination.Now, for this duel, there are only two rules: First, no lethal or life-threatening injuries to your opponent. And second, if someone is attacked and unable to rise within 3 seconds, they lose.Understood?]"Yes, ma'am," Emma acknowledges.[Commence the selection of your duel setting.]The teacher issues her instruction.Emma approaches Henry, who is slowly regaining color in his complexion."Heads or tails?" she inquires."Ladies first," Henry quips, trying to maintain his composure after recovering slightly."I choose tails," Emma declares before flipping the coin.Catching it and concealing it within her palm, she opens her hand, revealing..."Who would've guessed? I won. Is this a sign that Lady Luck favors me?" Henry teases."Hurry up so I can hand you your defeat," Emma retorts, visibly annoyed by Henry's narcissistic demeanor."Heh," Henry chuckles before heading to the podium.Placing his hand upon the podium, he whispers, "A beautiful garden filled with an abundance of flowers and a water sprinkler."As he finishes his utterance, the backdrop begins to transform according to his desire.*What on earth is he plotting? I'm sure it's something mischievous,* Gideon speculates, observing from the classroom.epng?
