Instructor Grink: Oh? Show me what you got then kid.
Ashton pulled out twin daggers with black blades and red grips and held them in a reverse grip in a low stance.
Instructor Grink held his sword in front of him preparing for Ashton to attack. The instructor had his eyes on Ashton to watch his every move but then....Ashton disappeared.
Ashton appeared right behind the instructor in the air with his dagger ready to strike at him. The instructor quickly turned around barely being able to block Ashton's dagger in time making him stumble.
Instructor Grink: 'What is up with these kids?!?! They're insane!'
Instructor Grink ran back a few meters before preparing himself for another clash.
Alex: 'This is very entertaining. Very, very entertaining.'
Alex was on the side watching them battle with a smirk on his face. He was ready to fight too.
Ashton ran towards the instructor head on this time prepared for their close combat clash. Ashton got directly in front of him and ducked to cut his ankle. The instructor lifted his foot to avoid the slash and swung his sword down towards Ashton. Ashton rolled away and threw his dagger towards the instructors face making him move his head to the side. And that was exactly was Ashton needed. Ashton vanished from Grinks face and he quickly turned around ready to intercept Ashton, except, Ashton wasn't there. Grinks' eyes widened when he realized what was going on but it was much too late. Ashton's blade lightly touched Grinks' throat making him surrender.
Instructor Grink: I give up. Good job kid. This is the first time a student has beaten me in this exam.
Ashton moved his blade from his throat, took a step back, and bowed. He was about to stand up straight again until he heard clapping. He turned his head to see Alex with a huge grin on his face.
Alex: Incredible, Ashton. You've come so far from when we were younger. I'm truly happy for you. Now it's time for me to show you how much I've grown.
Ashton stood there with a small smile before walking to the side. Alex was about to walk onto the field until he saw someone standing there already.
Alex: You've got to be kidding me...
Finn was already standing in the middle of the field stretching getting ready to fight.
Finn: Alright sir! I'm ready to go!
Instructor Grink: Show me what you got then.
Finn started running towards Grink with his gauntlets on for a fun fight. He got right in Grinks face and gave a right hook straight to his jaw. The instructor moved his head back out of the way but it still barely hit his jaw which shook him. The instructor tried to get more space but he was very wobbly and took a jab straight to the face knocking him to the floor. He was out cold.
Finn: ...
Alex: ...
Ashley: ...
Ashton: ...
Literally everyone: ...
Alex: Are you kidding me...You couldn't have taken it lighter, Finn?
Finn: How was I supposed to know he'd get knocked out so easily? And it's his fault for not dodging quick enough.
While Finn and Alex were going back and forth, everyone else stood there in a daze still trying to process what was going on. Soon, another instructor ran out and moved Grink to the side.
Instructor Randy: Hello kids. I'm Instructor Randy. Since Grinks over here is done-zo, I'm here to take his place. With that being said, who's next?
Without hesitation, Alex's hand shot up.
Alex: Me! ME!
Alex quickly ran towards the center of the field pushing Finn away not caring about how he ended up. Alex did a few warmups before getting in his fighting stance. He would be going barehanded in this fight.
Instructor Randy: Barehanded huh? I guess I'll humor you then.
Instructor Randy also stood barehanded and got in a fighting stance. After gesturing towards Alex to attack, Alex ran straight for it. When he got there, he went for an uppercut towards Randy's jaw. Instead of dodging, Randy slapped Alex's hand away and gave a quick jab towards his face. Alex dodged to the side and did a roundhouse kick towards Randy's rib. Before it could land, Randy grabbed Alex's foot and lifted him up preparing to slam him on the ground. Alex used his other leg to sweep Randy off his feet making them both land on the ground. Alex stood up quickly and jumped in the air with his elbow out. When Finn saw this, he shuddered from an awful memory. Alex descended and landed his elbow right in the middle of Randy's chest. Randy felt like his heart had been compressed to the limit as he burst out into a fit of coughs after rolling over.
Alex stood up and simply walked away with a plain look on his face. Alex was severely disappointed.
Alex: 'Was that really it? I expected more from this academy.'
Finn: Wow, "Take it easy" he said, then you go pull this. Way to go man, way to go.
Alex: Shut up Finn, it wasn't even that hard of an elbow. Want me to show you?
Finn: Hard pass.
As Alex walked back to the group, Ashton was on the side trying to contain his excitement after seeing the prowess of Alex's fighting ability.
Ashton: Hey Alex, let's fight.
Alex: Huh?
