Light And Death.

Chapter Twelve: Safe

I didn’t realize it at the moment but Kamal was only going easy on me, I should probably have thought of it since he could beat my dad but I guess I was engrossed in my fight with him, beating him made me so happy. He asked me to pause for a while and asked me a question, he asked me why I showed no interest in knowing who trained him and taught him how to fight so well, I told him it was simply because it didn’t matter who trained him, so far as he could train me and………. He shut me up before I could even complete my sentence, he told me he was making a wager with me on a fight, if he wins, I listen to what he has to say, if he loses, he would clean my room for a year, I immediately agreed, a year ain’t a short time, little did I know that hell was right up for me. I agreed to the wager and asked when we would have the fight since I was confident of beating him especially after today, he gave me a simple reply, he simply said “Now”, I was really unprepared, and I was like now? Like right now? This minute? I hadn’t completed my sentence by the time I picked it up, Kamal was cloaking himself with electricity, I could hear the crackling and the light blue strands of light, I wondered what he was doing that for, was it to increase his speed? I wondered if I could also do it but Kamal gave me no time or room for thought, he charged at me and God knows, I had never seen something so fast and considering the fact that I was faster than time and everything appeared really slow to me, I estimated his speed to be about a few tens above light speed, it was something of a miracle I could even see him so clearly, reacting to his speed was on the other hand very difficult, I was only barely keeping up with his speed, and even at that, there were a series of lapses, I wasn’t matching his speed all too well. He charged at me and threw a punch at me with his left hand which I deflected with my right hand, he almost immediately threw another punch with his right hand but I deflected that with my left palm, he was however already prepared for that, he aimed a kick at me and that was almost impossible to avoid, did I say almost impossible? My bad, it was simply impossible, the strength of the kick didn’t just throw me a few centimeters away from my original position, it beat my force field and I felt the kick hitting my stomach at probably a trillion miles an hour, that tore my shirt, gave me a deep scar and turned my organs inside out, I flew a few centimeters away and spat out a large amount of blood, I knew from that moment that Kamal was too powerful, he was the one truly worthy of being called elite, I was no match for him, I instantly lost all my will to fight, I had neither the strength nor the will, I had already lost this fight and I was going to have to listen to one of Kamal’s long and excessively boring history lessons. I was still about all of that when I saw Kamal right over my head, he was ready to land a kick on my head and I didn’t have the strength to block him, I mustered the strength to turn away and watched as he landed on the concrete used to cover the floor, I saw as his leg went into the ground, almost up to his knee, three things went through my mind, first, was Kamal trying to kill me or what in Adam’s name was all this bullshit, secondly, had he anticipated I’d move away or was he prepared to kill me, the last but not the least was if this was his true strength, if he was stronger than he displayed, then my dad was smart to run, Kamal was a literal god. I was still on the floor obviously in pain but Kamal was not done with me, he raised me to my feet and although I had no balance, he gave me a very hard kick on the jaw which sent me flying but he still wasn’t done, he came towards me mid-air and punched me several times from the chest to my stomach region and that sent me an extra few inches into the air Kamal smiled and disappeared or at least, it appeared like he disappeared, he reappeared behind me almost immediately and gave me a kick that sent me back to the ground, I stopped circulating my electricity because it really wasn’t helping and I started getting better, I started healing, my wounds and cuts were healed in a matter of seconds, I got up to my feet and looked at Kamal who was smiling once again, I was mad at him for beating me up so badly but I guess it was fine. I asked him why I could heal so fast and he simply told me once the absorbed electricity was not in use, it simply acts as an healing agent. I nodded since that made perfect sense and then, I asked him if that was him going all out, and with a smile on his face, he told me I had only seen ten percent of his powers here, he told me if he went all out, I would already be dead, I looked at him and nodded, it was finally time to listen to his shitty history lesson, but instead, he told me I had five minutes to get home and congratulated me for lasting fifty-seven seconds against him. I looked at him in shock, did he just say seconds and what did he mean by I had five minutes to go home, he told me to leave and I immediately bolted out of his house, I ran and got to my house in just over three minutes, two minutes later, a few patrol men came over to say high and asked if I had been staying in, they for some reason chose to not check my leg for my electronic tag which was something I was thankful for since I wasn’t putting it on, I was really SAFE…………..
