Unveiling emotions

After Akira forfeits the match, Mr.Zane comes out of his special stands.

"Are you sure Akira?"

Akira clenches her fist.

"Yes, I'm sure. Please end this match."

"Ok, then in that case, the sixteenth match is over and Emiko wins by default!"

Mr.Brown also announces on the mic the match results. When the crowd hears the results of the match, they all start booing Akira.

"Boo!"

Stuff like drinks, popcorn, and other foods start getting thrown at Akira. When Nixion sees this, he stands up and grabs the mic.

"Do none of you have home training!"

Everyone looks into the announcer's room in shock after hearing Principal Nixion scream.

"I told you all at the beginning of the tournament to be respectful to our students, and I stand by that no matter what! If she refuses to fight, no one here will force her, so hold your tongues!"

The crowd calms down after hearing what Nixion has to say.

On the battlefield, Akira starts walking back to the exit. As she does, Emiko looks around with an angry expression.

"What the fuck do you mean forfeit? Are you scared of me or something? When you ruined my life, I didn't get the option to forfeit and walk away like nothing happened, so why should you? This is some bullshit! Come back and fight me, you coward!"

Akira looks back at Emiko with a sad expression and keeps walking.

"I said come and fight me, coward! Or what is losing too much for you?"

Emiko takes a step, but Mr.Zane instantly steps in front of her.

"Please leave the battlefield in the other direction."

"Tch!"

Akira has walked past the waiting room.

"Maybe I'll just go back to that closet in there so I can catch up on that new anime that came out."

As she's walking, Akira sees her father, Chris Sato, walking toward her with an infuriated look on his face.

"Oh, father!"

Chris gets in front of her and smacks her in the face.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Akira! Did you not hear what I tasked you with? I said crush your sister to the point of no return, but instead, you sat there and dodged her until you quit the fight! Why didn't you do what I told you?"

"It's just that..."

"Answer me Akira!"

"I won't do it! I won't make Emiko suffer any longer than I already have! Please, I beg of you to just let her live the way she wants! That's all she wants—nothing more."

Chris clenches his fist tight.

"I see you still believe in that bullshit! Did you forget you're just a tool, or do I need to remind you?"

Chris pulls his arm back for a punch.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you never forget!"

Chris tries to move his arm but realizes he can't move it.

"Wait, why can't I move my ar—"

Chris looks behind him and sees Paul holding his arm back with one hand.

"What! Wait, your that Paul kid!"

"Please refrain from using violence, or I will have to teach you to keep your hands to yourself."

Chris hears a click on his left, and when he looks over, he sees Wayne with his pistol pointed to his head.

"Wait, you're here too."

Wayne looks over at Akira and sees that she's crying with a red mark on her face. He then looks back at Chris.

"What type of father are you?"

"An asshole, that's what!"

Chris looks to his front and sees Kage, Unknown, and Selena walking to him.

"Well said, Unknown!"

After hearing Kage speak, Chris asks a question.

"What the hell are you doing over here?"

Selena answers his question.

"Simple, we all saw our classmate in a vulnerable state, so we came to check on her, but who would think we would find such a disgusting man here with her?"

"Do you idiots realize who I am? I'm Chris Sato, the third-most powerful man on the planet! You can't come at me like this!"

Kage, hearing this statement, becomes furious.

"Hey, old man. I don't give a shit who you are!"

Kage cracks his knuckles, and veins start to pop out of his head.

"If you lay another finger on my friend's head, we're all going to beat your ass, and then after that, I'll kill you, my damn self!"

Chris, seeing how serious Kage is, starts to sweat.

"Fine, I'm done here!"

Paul removes his hand, and Wayne removes his gun. Chris walks in the opposite direction of the group. When he's gone, Akira looks around at all her classmates.

"You guys, if you actually fought him, you all would have been disqualified, and we would have lost the dagger."

Paul kneels in front of Akira.

"That doesn't matter right now Akira; all that matters is that you're okay." 

Unknown kneels down behind Akira and says, "Yeah, we can't just watch you suffer just because of some old dagger.

Akira falls into Unknown's arms and starts crying out of control.

"Ahhh! I was so scared!"

As Akira releases all her emotions at once, Kage walks over to Selena, who has her back on the wall.

"You ain't going to comfort her?"

"No, but I'm surprised you aren't with how angry you were."

"Well, I'm not really the make someone feel better type of guy, but you said I was angry? Ha, even though I was, I wasn't the angriest person in this situation. They might not have noticed, but I was standing right next to you, and I've never seen you show so much emotion. You were so pissed that your anger felt like it was flowing in the wind."

"Oh, and I thought I was hiding."

Selena's face turns from calm to agitated.

"This is a world where trust doesn't exist, and to watch someone throw away someone as genuine as her made me way more upset than what Chris Sato has done. I think someone needs to be taught a lesson."

"Ooo, it seems you have put a target on someone's back."

"You could say that."

While that encounter was going on in the stadium outside, Mr.Brown started to close out the first day of the Grava Acadamy tournament. With the sun setting, Mr.Brown picks up his mic and starts speaking.

"Well, that's it for today, folks! Those were the first sixteen rounds of the Grava Acadamy tournament, and I'm glad to announce the contestants we have left!"

On the screen, all the students left in the tournament were shown.

"Now the fighters you'll see tomorrow are going to be Kage! Liz! Damion! Selena! Elias! Unknown! Jason! Chika! Wayne! Paul! Blaze! Kai! Max! Seth! Aurora and Emiko! Class one is the one with the most students left, with five students remaining. Class three and class four are right behind them, with both of them tied with three students remaining, and behind them is class six with two students. Now class two, class five, and the lower classes are in hot water, with each of them having only one student remaining! Let's see how things continue to heat up tomorrow in round two!"

After Mr.Brown finishes speaking, the stadium starts to clear. On the east side of the stadium, where the little boy and the mysterious man took their seats at the beginning of the tournament, the mysterious man gets up and starts walking away. The little boy grabs the mysterious man's cloak.

"Hey, thanks, Mr! Thanks to you, I was able to win all of my bets."

"Oh, no problem."

"Oh, then, if you're going to be here tomorrow, can you help me again?"

"I'm sorry, but I won't be here for the rest of the tournament since I will be busy with something, but I will be here on the last day, so I will help you then."

"Oh, that's fine. I will be waiting for you on the last day."

The mysterious man smiles and walks away. At the same time as this conversation, the lower-class representatives have left the teacher stands to walk out of the stadium. Mrs.Lez steps in front of Mr.Srout.

"Mr.Strout you can't just keep blowing this off!"

"She's right, Mr.Strout."

Mr.Baz walks past the both of them.

"We need to devise a plan to mess something up in the tournament, or our one opportunity to become teachers of a top class slips away."

Mr.Strout smiles as he pushes past the two teachers.

"Like I said before, we still have Elias, so everything will be alright." 

"You can't just keep saying that, damn it!"

Mr.Strout continues walking despite Mrs.Lez yelling at him.

"What is with him?"

After the stadium was fully cleared and all things were said and done, every student who chose to went to a hotel near the stadium to rest. In the lobby of the hotel, Seth has come down from his hotel room to meet someone.

"What did you want to talk to me about Alexander?"

Alexander who was on his phone prior, turns around to talk to Seth.

"Don't give me all that attitude, Seth; I just wanted to give this to you."

Alexander hands Seth a box with some cake in it.

"Huh? What the hell is this for?"

"Well, I recently remembered that cake we destroyed when we were kids, and I also remembered that we never got to eat any since it was all over the floor. It might be a few years late, but here's the cake I said I would help you get."

To Seth's shock, Alexander starts to walk away.

"Wait, Alexander, you don't want to eat it with me?"

"That small piece? Yeah, no. Plus, I'm going back home. I got some things to sort out within myself."

Alexander walks out of the hotel.

"Wow, not a single insult."

Upstairs, Kage walks out of his hotel room after taking a shower.

"Aye Unknown I'm going downstairs to grab some snacks!"

"Alright, bro! I'm going to hop in the shower!"

Kage closes the door and starts walking down the hall.

"Today I might've won, but tomorrow I want to really show my true power!"

When Kage makes it to the elevator, the door opens. The person to walk out of the elevator is Jason, the number one of class three.

"Oh, hello, Kage. I saw that you survived my avalanche attack. I would have come to say hi to you, but after my match, I was anxious to go see my parents."

"Always so damn polite."

Kage walks past Jason to get to the elevator. Before Jason could walk too far, Kage looked back at him.

"Aye, Jason, you know I'm going to beat your ass, right?"

Jason looks back with a smile.

"You can try; actually, I hope you try your hardest."
