Learning to Kill
Cassius was still taking a break, in the restroom, but then heard footsteps approaching him. Cassius was swift and quiet as he hid himself and his staff, out of sight and in a stall. Cassius held his breath as he heard the footsteps enter the restroom.
"Check the stalls! Find anyone to kill! The more fame the better items we can get!" Commanded one of the intruders.
Cassius's heart dropped as he knew he would need to confront the intruders. The first stall door was kicked down, and Cassius heard as the intruder walked to the next one.
(It's you and them…)
The stall next to him was kicked down, and he realized that he was next.
(I should have invested in defense…)
Cassius then jumped up as the stall door came flying at where he was, Cassius then saw the saw that the intruder still had his foot in the air. Cassius then planted his feet on the wall and launched himself to the intruder, and as he went to strike he noticed the weak spot hidden underneath the intruder's hair.
(ATTACK)
Cassius swung his fist down and open through the intruder's skull as landed down. Cassius swallowed down the guilt of killing another person as he saw the 3 people left standing. Cassius grabbed his staff as the leader waved his hands signaling him to stop.
"Hey hey, let's stop King. I never thought I would see the day that the king of this college would kill someone," Said the leader.
"Yeah, don't you feel bad killing another person." Said the armed students.
"I don't care leave and we won't have trouble," Commanded Cassius as he tried controlling his adrenaline.
A screen appeared giving Cassius all the dead student's items and Fame.
"Hey, you got one of my guys and his stuff. We'll leave you alone, just hand us the staff, and we'll be on our way," negotiated the Leader.
"Go fuck yourself. Leave," Commanded Cassius as he hoped that this could be resolved peacefully.
"I'll give you the option one more time, leave your…" Said the Leader until he finally noticed the slime in Cassius's hood. "Leave you staff and little friend with us and you can live."
"Level Up," Commanded Cassius as his eye looked soulless.
(I only regenerated 3 mana, but 9 minutes is more than enough to destroy these bastards.)
"Level up? The hell are you…" Asked the armed student until he was struck by Cassius on the nose using his staff.
The student wasn't dead as he had invested in his defense, but took serious damage since Cassius struck a weak point.
"YOU ASKED FOR IT!" Shouted the Leader as he went to strike Cassius, but was surprised when Cassius caught his fist.
"I'm faster than you." Said Cassius, as he elbowed the leader in the nose. "I'm stronger."
The last unharmed student rushed at Cassius, but unlike any previous attempts Cassius one handed swung his staff at his solar plexus.
"And I am definitely better that all of you." Announced Cassius at the 3 student.
They looked at him with pissed faces as they were all harmed, but all nodded at each other. They all rushed Cassius, but Cassius prepared himself as drove his staff at the armed student's neck and back kicked the other student on the head. Cassius then took his first Player blow to the head by the leader and was knocked to the ground.
"What level are you?" Asked Cassius as he stood back up as he grabbed his staff and secured his hood.
"Level 5. You?" Asked the leader as he picked up the dead student's sword.
"Level 4." Responded Cassius.
"Investing in both Strength speed and Defense. Not bad same here." Complimented the leader.
(Fuck… He dealt 10 to me and it wasn't even a weak point. If I didn't level up he would have killed me… if he strikes me in a weak point I am dead. 10 so he spent 3 level ups on strength, Meaning the last one was in defense…)

[Gods are watching the confrontation. Bets have been placed.]
[Cassius: 1,200,750 Fame]
[Dallas: 40,290,000 Fame]
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
(I need 2 more strikes to his weak point, while he only needs one. My one advantage in this battle is both speed and sense.)
Cassius then sees that Dallas got a message.
"So I can kill you in one hit if I strike you in the nose, neck, or groin," repeated Dallas as he looked up at Cassius. "No wonder you managed to kill them so easily."
Cassius then swung his staff as he knocked the sword off of Dallas's hand.
"50," counted Cassius as he rushed at Dallas.
Dallas blocked his weak spot as Cassius hit Dallas's arm. Dallas then tried grabbing the staff, but Cassius quickly realized an retracted his staff back. Dallas then threw blow after blow, but Cassius continued to block with his staff.
(If I am on the defense, I deal no damage!)
Cassius then blocked a kick using his foot. He was now being challenged from both below and straight. The exchange continued for a while as Cassius continued to be on the defense. Cassius then got a notification to the side.

[The Gods that bet on Cassius are nervous.]

"30," said Cassius as confused Dallas for a slight second, but took full advantage and threw him back as he struck Dallas in the solar plexus.
Dallas then grabbed the sword and threw it at Cassius. As Cassius dodged, Dallas got up and rushed at Cassius, but Cassius jumped over him and as he was in the air, he struck down at Dallas using his staff at the one weak point in his head. Dallas just manage to avoid getting hit in his weak point as his head crushed against the ground. Cassius then was near the exit as Dallas was cornered in the bathroom.
(He is one hit. Doesn't matter if it isn't to a weak point.)
Cassius rushed at Dallas, but as he went to punch Dallas kicked Cassius in the side and he flew and hit the urinals. Now Cassius was one hit. Cassius picked himself up and quickly moved back. Cassius and Dallas looked at each other as they feared the other.
(If I leave we can both live… So why don't I want to move… Right… I still fear dying… I lost people I love, but I still don't want to die…)
"Just go ahead and leave," Commanded Dallas.
Cassius was about to leave, but he thought about it.
(If I leave him alive, he'll only get stronger… At this moment he is the weakest I'll ever face him… Live. live…)
"LIVE!!!" Shouted Cassius as he rushed at Dallas.
Cassius ran straight ahead at Dallas, Dallas then kicked Cassius again, but Cassius used his staff to reach him this time. Cassius collapsed after he hit the stall, and Dallas fell back on the wall as he laid there unconscious. No one moved for a couple of seconds, but Cassius finally stood up as he stood with one health left.
"Thanks for protecting me Ali." Thank Cassius as he laid there on the ground. "Healing every minute is such a helpful ability. Level down."
Cassius then returned to his normal stats as his health was still at 1.
"Glad to know it won't auto kill me." Said Cassius.
Four screens then appeared in front of Cassius.

Cassius tried catching breath as he looked at the scenes. He immediately picked the +3 stat from the Level reward.He then invested all 3 stat points in Defense and felt himself become stronger. Cassius swiped away the other two screens about Fame, and stared at the last Reward.
Cassius waved his arm and pressed Skill as he fell unconscious.
