"Looks like you manage to set us apart" I cheered.
They began launching their attacks. Now that we are apart, we can now move more freely.
But the assassins used that as their advantage. They started attacking at the back.
"Wise thinking but all of you are still too slow to touch me" I teased
Then numerous daggers were thrown directly at me. I quickly evaded it. Then sun light struck the invisible threads revealing them
I saw Draxx finally pulled out one of his blades.
"Hey Draxx, what's with that dagger?"
"Are you getting beat back their?" I teased.
"I lately noticed the threads attached to the daggers."
"Okay assassins that's enough. You made Draxx pulled out his weapon and that's enough to count as a win for you."
"Now clap and be proud of your achievement"
"The next time we challenge I hoped you can land a single hit."
The day ended successfully. The students are slowly improving. Now the event is closing in.
Today is the Tank's event. Sora seems busy finalizing everything. The Assassins are all ready for their task to record the rankings. The Healers are all in standby. The rest of the students are watching from the building corridors. Us instructors are at the grounds watching as well.
The Tanks all entered the battlefield and find their places. Sora made the pairing, so it is fair. I hoped.
At Sora's signal the event finally started, and the tanks started battling each other.
I focused on watching the battle of the top one and top two Tanks.
"Hey Sora, you surely know that whoever loses first the highest possible rank is the middle of the class, right?" I asked.
"That's why a paired them by rank to give chance for the low-ranking Tanks excel."
"And the top-ranking Tanks to not back down to their elite"
The two top dogs are clashing, alternately landing punches with tremendous powers.
The crowd goes wild as they saw the tanks put up a great fight. Everywhere you look the tanks seems all getting pumped. Enduring every hit
"Sora I can't help being noticed that no one is dodging any attacks?" A medic said.
"It's because if you dodge an attack that's mean you are already decided to forfeit."
"The purpose of this event is to showcase the endurance, strength and agility of my tanks."
"So, if no one dodges a hit they are showing how tough they are. The fastest way to win is to overpower your opponent by delivering more powerful punches in rapid succession" Dr Edwin said
"If you think of it a regular student can't take one blow with that much power even if he or she manages to block it" a medic said.
"Agreed with that kind of punch it will surely break your bones is you tried blocking it" a medic said.
"But look at the Tanks they don't even mind at all. It's like they don't even feel something" a medic said.
"Your wrong, the tanks are all getting exhausted if you look closely their breathing has all changed" I said.
"Wise analysis Chris" said Dr Edwin.
"You see the heavier the Tank is the stronger his or her punches are" Sora said.
After some time, the tanks started to fall one by one. The assassins immediately wrote down their rankings. The healers immediately transported the knocked down tank.
Some tanks are given a time to rest as they wait for their next opponent, but the others are not so lucky. After their fight they immediately have another battle
The first round seems to be over except for the top tanks battling that are still clashing.
The crowd cheered for the two Tanks. The cheering made the two more pumped and their punches as getting more stronger every hit.
The crowd goes wild. Even I could not believe what is happening. Sora seems amused in the performance of her students.
With a skull crushing blow in the head the second ranked tank falls to the ground. The top one tank seems pretty worn out the battle.
The crowd goes wild as the fierce battle ended.
Then the top three tanks entered the arena. She is well rested compared to the rank one which is catching his breath. The battle started.
"Looks like the victor is finally decided" a medic said.
"Tell me about it" a medic said.
"Well, that's the event supposed to be. If you are worn out immediately you lose"
"But I am proud of my students whatever their ranking maybe" Sora said.
"Well, you trained them well if you ask me" Dr Edwin said
"Look!" The medics are all shocked in the turning of the events.
We all stood up to see what is happening. The top tank has unleashed a Divine Aura. We are all surprised.
The top tank punches his opponent, but she evaded it. Wise thinking from the top three tank. Good thing she forfeits the match.
The top tank them dropped on his knees and his aura slowly fades away.
Sora did not stop the event, so another opponent challenges the elite. The elite chooses to forfeit. The healers immediately take into action.
The group of tanks that is close to me felt all worried for their boss.
"Don't worry about me besides, you wanted all to dethrone me, right? Now is your chance so better step up or ship out."
"But boss?"
"Don't fail me now okay”.
"Come on let's go”.
The healers immediately went on their way to the infirmary.
The event continues but Sora, Draxx and I went to check on the top tank.
"What happened to you back their?" Sora asked shouting.
"Calm down Sora I think he is fine now" Draxx said.
"Yeah, Master I am completely fine nothing to worry about" the tank said.
"I am sorry that I didn't asked your name then. May I know who you are and what were you thinking when that happened?" I asked.
"Well, Headmaster I am Maximus”.
"And back when I am about to lose, I had this vision of my mom telling me that she has given me extraordinary strength."
"By the time I opened my eyes I felt powerful. The only thing inside my mind back then is to win."
"Moments after I started to lose all my strength."
