CHAPTER EIGHT
EMERALD SCHOOL FOR GUARDIANS – HALLWAYS
Teresa unsheathes her sword and points it at Manny. "What are you doing here."
Manny looks down at Teresa's breasts and hearts appear on his eyes. "Wow! You've really grown, unlike your Sister."
Teresa raises her sword up and swiftly brings it down at Manny, but, blocks it with his katana.
"How did you beat Tyler, when you are so weak?"
Then, Teresa kicks Manny out of the school block and rushes to him, and they both continuously clash blades.
A member of the Student Council, with a sky blue luxurious wavy hair and a smooth skin begins to walk to where Teresa and Manny were. "That Teresa, she thinks she can hug all the spotlight."
"Out of my way". Jack says this as he pushes the blue haired guy back. Then he, runs straight to Manny and throws his fist at him.
Manny notices Jack's attack and moves back, leaving Teresa. "Don't be in such a hurry, it is not the right time yet."
Jack blitz over to where Manny was and throws his fist at Manny, but Manny dodges it. Then, Jack starts throwing a barrage of punch, only for Manny to dodge them all.
"How could you of all people, someone that I respected, use steroids."
Veins pop out of Manny's head as he hears what Jack had just told him and in complete rage, he swings his blade at Jack, but it is blocked by Teresa.
"You did not have to block it, I would have done that myself."
"You don't have a blade, so you would have been cut."
Manny moves backwards and sheathes his katana. "I didn't really come here to fight you, I came here to kill a bastard and his ego."
Teresa runs to Manny and attacks him with her blade in her left hand, but Manny blocks it with his own blade.
Then, Teresa removes a smaller blade, from her blazer and stabs Manny's shoulder. But, the blade bends.
"Huh?"
Teresa jumps back a few steps and looks at her broken knife. "How is your body that hard?"
"Let me enter the tournament and I'll tell you."
"No."
"It doesn't matter, I'll still enter it anyway."
Jack throws two big stones at Manny, and then zooms to him.
Manny cuts the two stones in an instant, but Jack's fist was already twenty centimetres away, from Manny's face. "Don't you dare defy a god, Pheasant."
With his other hand, Jack grips Manny's sword and it vanishes out of sight.
"My swo___"
Jack's attack lands on manny's face, but he does not move an inch. "Pathetic, and you call yourself a god."
Jack rushes over to Manny, and they both exchange blows.
Then, Manny kicks Jack in the stomach, his leg move up to Jack's jaw and then he kicks Jack.
Jack falls to the floor infuriated, with blood gushes out of his mouth. "What kind of steroids did you take? captain America."
"This is exactly what I don't like about you. You can't just admit someone is better than you out of their pure talent or hard work."
"Well, that is because there is no one better than me. Even with their cheap tricks or with their awakened abilities nobody surpasses me."
Manny's katana suddenly appears on the floor, in front of Jack. He stands up and stomps on the katana. "If you want your sword, come here and PICK-IT-UP."
Manny zooms over to Jack and readies his fists to punch him, and Jack stands ready and launches his fists at Manny.
Eliza zooms in, stopping the both of them with her black blades. "Please stop, I don't want to see the both of you try to kill each other."
Both Jack and Manny, who were thinking the same thing say out loud. "Eliza?"
Jack, surprised at Manny's reaction, decides to question him. "Hey, how do you know her name?"
"Does it matter?"
Eliza reaches out and grabs their arm. "The both of you should not fight like this, you used to be best buds."
Manny releases his arm from Eliza's grip and begins to walk away. "Well I can't kill you now, so I, am going to join the student Council elective event at the end of the year, and as you can see I qualify."
"And who is going to let you get away, young man?". Teresa says as she points her blade at him.
But in response Manny just keeps shouting out a name. " Poabla! Poabla!"
Then suddenly Manny's twelve year old sister, Poabla appears out of nowhere, while eating a doughnut. "Is it time to go already?"
"Yes, let's go."
Teresa runs towards Manny and tries to strike him. "Do you think I'm letting you go?"
"Don't worry I'll give myself in after the fight."
In an instant, Poabla and Manny vanish into thin air and so does his katana."
Teresa tightens the grip on her sword and stabs it on the floor. "I can't believe I let him get away."
Eliza stands still, tears rolling off her eyes. "Why does this have to happen."
"Eliza."
Eliza notices a voice reaching out for her, she turns and sees Jack, blood coming out of his mouth. He grips Eliza's shoulder and passes out.
A FEW HOURS LATER - IN A DARK ROOM
A girl sits on a throne, her legs crossed, looking down on at Manny, who was kneeling in front of her. "What was the meaning of that stunt you pulled, over there."
"Forgive me, my lord, I let my emotions get the better of me."
"You were just supposed to relay the information to the student Council. You know what the penalty is...right?"
"Yes, my lord."
CLINIC
Jack wakes up at a hospital bed strapped to a blood sac, he sees Eliza sitting on a chair next to him, he sits up and touches his abdominal region. "What are you doing here?"
"Can't I visit a friend anymore?"
"It seems like you are more damaged than I am, if you think you and I are friends."
Eliza slaps Jack and holds his shirt. "Why are you so difficult?"
"How dare you lay a finger on my face."
Eliza takes out a black glove with metal fingertips from her blazer and puts it on. "I am going to give you back all your memories."
Jack looks at Eliza with a confused expression on his face. "Now I do not even know what you are talking about."
Eliza places her fingers on Jack's head and memories flow to his head, memories of his childhood with Eliza and Manny.
