'Now, I'm in a tough situation.' Lumina thought, still calm.
He dodged a kick, a punch and letting the claw shred through a bit of his forearm.
Retaliating, he grabbed the hide-meta's arm mid swipe, a bit of his claw still in his forearm.
Lumina twisting his body dragging the hide-meta to cover him, the speed-meta stopped his attack mid-way...
The same can't be said for the strength-meta, his foot landed firmly in the back of the hide-meta.
Pulling his foot back immediately.
Lumina using this moment, swiped at the strength-meta's only leg planted on the ground, tripping him.
He rolled and stood.
But a fist met his face, sending him rolling on the floor.
Recovering again he stood, learning from his mistakes, his arm's raised.
The speed-meta's punch grinded into his forearm but, focused and calm, he grabbed hold of the speed-meta's arm, and twisting his body threw him into the recovered hide-meta.
Resulting them, falling to the floor.
Lumina looked at the charging strength-meta...
He side stepped.
The boy skidded on the floor.
Stopping in his tracks, he turned, resulting in his head being flung to the side by Lumina's firm and swift kick.
Hearing movement behind him, he moved to the side as, the already attacking speed-meta's fist planted, straight in the face of the strength-meta.
Who was attempting to look at his attacker...
Again.
But, Lumina didn't let up, his fist landing.
Sending the speed-meta stumbling back.
But, there was another, his fingers together nails sharp as he aimed for Lumina's head...
But...
He was stopped in his tracks...
His wrist tightly gripped in Lumina's hand.
He was slower, weaker having taken to much damage.
Lumina clenched his fist...
Bam
Bam
Bam
Lumina sent out punch after punch, his stomach, jaw, chest and lastly face.
Sending him to the floor.
'One, down.' Lumina thought, his arm's raised as, he blocked the attack from the speed-meta.
He punched back, the speed meta retreated back.
Lumina ducked, evading the strength-meta's fist but, his head was flung to the side, the speed-meta's kick landing.
Lumina stumbled back, keeping his feet to the ground, not wanting to be sent flying.
He used the wall as leverage.
He moved his head to the side.
Dodging the strength-meta's punch, striking him back.
Rapidly.
Then he blocked a punch from the speed-meta, countering but the speed-meta dodged.
Swiftly as if a blur, he sent a kick aimed at Lumina's thigh.
And he didn't miss...
"Haaa!!" Lumina screamed.
Fed up, Lumina grabbed the leg of the speed meta and precisely and swiftly twisted.
CRACK
Lumina broke his ankle, let go of him, dodged a attack from the strength-meta and...
Bam
A hook to the jaw clean and firm, dazing him.
Lumina, proceed to limp, to the speed-meta's pain filled form on the floor.
And succumbing to his broken thigh, he fell to the floor but, not with out landing a brutal hit on the speed-meta's jaw.
Breaking it.
And knocking him out.
'Two, down.' Lumina thought.
Lumina, quickly used the wall to stand.
Looking at the wobbling strength-meta.
'He has to be a Grade 2 Strength-meta with, a Grade 0 Durability sub-trait but, he could have a high sub-trait, a Grade 1 Durability sub-trait.' Lumina analyzed.
'I have a huge pool but, but control is abysmal.' Lumina grit his teeth.
'But, I have to do this or, I'm done for.' Lumina steeled his resolve and crouched and pulled back his fist.
First a warmth.
Then a glow.
Then his fist started to shake violently.
As, the last of the trio recovered and rushed at Lumina anger ablaze in his eyes.
But...
Lumina side stepped, grit his teeth and, swung his arm into the larger boys stomach.
Placing more weight upon his injured thigh, leaning into the punch.
The boy's body bent in and, was flung back.
4 meters.
'I didn't use my ability...I used what he teached me.' Lumina thought, he would of been happy but, his sorry state refused.
Bruise's.
A clawed back.
And internal bleeding.
Lumina wiped the blood from his mouth.
And he noticed the bandages on the hand that had a glow, was shredded and, broken, falling to the floor.
Then he grabbed his watch, from his pocket.
---------Saturday 07:30am.
Lumina was, frozen as he looked at the time.
"People are going to be walking around soon." He muttered to himself.
He placed his watch back in to his pants and looked at the surroundings as, students began roaming but, they only took a few steps and, stared
and murmured.
"Three kid's laid out in the morning!! Yanks."
"That kid, seems bloody."
"Ya! His from my class, he sits next to that small dude who, beat Jern."
"And, it seems they both sure know how to fight."
"Hey yo, ain't those guys Grade 2 Meta's?"
"They sure are."
"Wait aren't those guys in Keld's gang."
"Can't wait to see, his reaction."
At that exact moment, the ground split.
And a boy with blonde hair and black eyes stared at Lumina.
MALICIOUSLY.
'This is not good, not at all.' Lumina thought, moving back and gritting his teeth.
As he grabbed at his thigh with a hand keeping his eyes on the approaching figure.
The boy kept walking closer and, closer...
Thud.
His shoulder bumped into another's.
He turned furious, then...
Petrified.
His gaze met another.
Michael Sùdù
He turned back towards Lumina, proceeding to him again, two others following.
Murmuring began once again.
"Bumping into a 'Pillar' boi was, for sure shaken."
"What you mean by, 'Pillar'?"
"Pillars are the for sure four strongest military privates, for there own strength or, influence, like a faction leader, that's what Keld is aiming for."
"Wait, aren't we students?!"
"Ya, but we're gonna go through an assessment, some will be kicked out, others will be accepted and, during the assessment the other three strongest privates will show themselves, just by there performance."
Keld, in his spacious clothing stop a meter away from Lumina.
A girl a bit taller than Lumina, a metallic gloved hand with a spiraling spear with no smooth surface, just a spiraling weapon, with two sharp end's, bigger than her body.
Then a thinner but taller boy than the other two.
Unique looking, cross bow's on both forearm's and a bow on his back including, a dagger on his side.
"You..." Malice.
Clear
Potent
In that single word.
"Before this..." Keld, gestured to the bodies on the floor.
"You beat, Wim that we needed to use two, .. two different restoring meta abilities!"
'He... he was in that bad a shape.' Lumina thought glancing at the, only hand with bloody bandages, then back at Keld and his companies.
"Hey, everyone makes mistakes." Lumina said, steady, standing up right, enduring the pain.
"What you did was, not in any case a mistake, broken jaw, left shoulder shattered and disdolged and, broken nose which, we needed to align it before healing it!" The girl said looking at the, bodies on the floor.
Then at the speed-meta's slowly, healing jaw.
"Same here..." The taller boy muttered, inspecting the bodies.
Keld, chuckled, "You know something, I'm not going to be okay with just crippling you." He paused breathing in.
"I declare a, 'Duel of fate' !"
He said out loud.
The crowd whistled and cheered.
'That was...a really smart play.' Lumina thought.
A Duel of fate, explained before, basically the initiator states the crime the offender has done against them and, if the initiator win's, that person will decide the punishment, even though the punishment's are still heavily watched over.
And, if the offender win's the initiator will not complain about that subject ever again.
But, there was another, function where the Duel of Fate is considered a 'Cheat Law Duel' the offender...
Can
Not
Refuse
Or, be found guilty of the crime the initiator, has stated, automatically...
LOSING
So, the duel is a door for the offender, to have a ground to fight back.
Even when the offender, has a bloody palm.
"Now let's talk about this... Okay!?" Lumina, said as he limped back.
Then with explosive speed, the girl thrust her spear at Lumina's head.
'A, slight tilt of the head, will be enough for me to dodge but...' Lumina thought, grinning 'Why would i need too, when there here.'
Crack
Bang
The girl, confused, as she stared straight at the orange crystal wall, that her spear is enlodged in here.
She pulled it out, retreating.
And, Keld stared at the blacked haired girl with red-ish orange tips and, green eyes.
Unstable
She emanated, unstable danger.
And, a shorter boy with, a tied back bun, the curly hair and, the why it received the shallow lighting.
Gave it a fog like a appreace.
His eyes blue dark and dim, half open and, meeting his gaze quietly.
Patient
He, didn't emanate a presence but, a unsettling feeling of Patient Danger.
But, it wasn't like he gave a feeling of danger they couldn't handle.
There just being cautious.
The two new comers didn't give Keld's group any positive emotions.
Not at all.
