Chapter 101: Ange’s backstory 7 ( Points)
In that place, Arol’s eyes started to feel heavy.
He almost fell to the ground.
It was as if he had no strength left in his arms.
Ange quickly held him.
"Is it okay, Arol?"
He turned his head for a few seconds and nodded.
Then they both ignored the boy who had walked up beside Ange.
The boy got angry that they didn’t give him his time.
He gritted his teeth.
And pointed a finger at her.
"You. You will fight me."
"The rules are simple. The one who falls to the ground loses the game."
Ange heard everything he said.
And she stared at him.
Her facial expression darkened.
"You’re wasting our time...
The only moment I enjoy the most."
The boy smiled and wiped his nostril.
He looked her up and down.
And thought to himself.
I’ll go easy at first...
Then I’ll finish the fight in a few seconds.
On the card they gave each child, everyone had 10 points.
The boy placed 5 points on the line.
And Ange approved it.
Others were watching them.
And once the points were registered,
the next second, the kid ran toward her and threw a punch.
Ange slowly stepped to her left and dodged it.
She was very calm.
She needed to end the fight fast and take the points.
He moved backward.
And the kid stopped for a few seconds.
"Do you need any help?"
His friend laughed with him for a moment.
Then he attacked her again.
His punch came straight for Ange’s face, fast.
Immediately, a slight burst of mana came out from her body.
She avoided it.
And threw a low kick.
The boy jumped twice in pain.
And he let his guard down.
She ran behind him and kicked his backside.
And he fell first.
As he fell, all his friends were surprised.
Silence settled for a few moments.
Then a little girl smiled.
And all the girls cheered for her and insulted the loser.
Ange’s clothes were wet.
She was sweating.
She wiped the sweat off with her sleeve.
Arol made a sign with his finger.
Good.
On the other side, Ken was against another boy from Group 2.
The battle started.
It was to draw a specific picture.
Ken was bad at things like that.
But he couldn’t refuse a battle the first time.
So he accepted the proposal.
He had no intention of failing.
Immediately, he called out to the boy.
As the boy turned, Ken quickly picked up his drawing.
And showed it to everyone.
The boy turned back.
He didn’t see his paper anymore and asked.
Everyone said the same thing.
"Which drawing?
Were you even drawing something?"
And since the boy never saw his work again,
he eventually lost.
And Ken gained 5 more points.
The other kids were battling with questions and other games.
Meanwhile, Arol and Ange were sitting together,
discussing and writing words on paper.
Ange was learning how to write and draw.
Even though she kind of knew it, it wasn’t perfect yet.
But it felt like fun to them.
Each of them discovering new things.
Then, Arol took another piece of paper from his pocket.
And he started drawing.
Ange just watched him attentively, with a smile.
When he finished, the picture was of a little girl.
As soon as she saw it, she said.
"Is this me?"
Arol stayed silent for a few seconds.
Then he wrote.
"Maybe it’s you."
Then she took her pen.
And she drew her own.
Ange tried to copy him,
and she glanced at him slightly.
When she finished, the drawing was catastrophic.
Arol saw it and smiled.
And this time, it wasn’t fake.
Then he wrote on a paper.
"Is that me?"
He pointed his finger at himself.
And Ange wrote back the same words as him.
"Maybe."
Then he stood up.
Ange grabbed his hand and asked.
"Where are you going?"
He looked at her,
and gently removed her hand from his.
And he gritted his teeth.
Arol walked forward,
and some kids moved away.
Some were afraid of him.
He chose one kid.
And showed him a paper.
But unfortunately, the kid didn’t know how to read.
Immediately, Arol cracked his fingers with a malicious smile.
The boy had vertical scars on his face.
He was from Group 3, always alone.
Part of his mouth was burned.
The only thing he loved was fighting.
Just fighting.
As soon as he saw Arol, his face twisted.
And he threw a punch.
Arol blocked it.
He didn’t move back at all.
Then he placed 10 points on the line.
And said.
"How many punches can you block?"
He took a combat stance.
Took a step forward.
And a punch came flying at Arol.
He blocked it,
but he was pushed 1 meter back.
Arol’s arm trembled a little for a second.
Then Arol looked at him and smiled abnormally.
His arm turned to gold.
And he threw a punch.
The other boy blocked it.
But Arol kept punching.
Again and again.
He didn’t stop.
All the rage he had from the crazy researcher,
he released it on this boy.
Meanwhile, his opponent was only blocking.
Until the last punch.
The bones in his arm cracked.
His guard dropped.
Arol threw a punch straight to his face.
Two of the kid’s teeth flew out.
And he fell to the ground.
Then Arol’s arm turned back to normal.
At that moment, all the kids looked at him.
Some thought he was more frightening than the other boy.
Ange was surprised by that.
And she whispered.
"Is he so strong?"
The other kids said similar things.
The comments were both negative and positive.
At that time, Ken asked himself.
"Can I beat him if I go all out... maybe.
But he’s the best here.
I need to recruit him."
Ken started walking toward him.
And immediately, the bell rang.
All the kids moved toward their respective rooms.
And that was only the beginning of something big.
