___________________________________________________________
Third Point Of View:
"Mind introducing us?" Was said by Marcus as he gave Akalea a wink her way. It kind of irritated Dawn and Shawn for some reason but they shook it off. "So Akalea, this is Marcus Rogers over there, Troy Moore, Bach Henderson, Dean Powell, Zachary Adams, Amy Brown, Alice Cooper and Eve Walker. They are the rankers you saw earlier." Shawn says, introducing everyone to Akalea. "Hey, I'm Akalea but you can call me Aka if you want." Aka says with a smile but it was on the nervous side of a smile.
"You know, you're much prettier up close." Zachary compliments Akalea and Akalea just blushed as she didn't expect that. "And cute!" Dean exclaims as he throws his arms around Zachary's shoulder which made Aka blush even more. "Hey! Hey, stop it she's going to burst just by blushing." Alice says as she moves closer to Aka. "Don't mind them. They're always like that when they meet new people." Alice tells her with a reassuring smile which made Akalea calm down.
"Why don't we eat first then talk? I'm hungryyyyy!" Dean utters with his bottom lip out trying to look cute. "Ugh, stop that. It disgusts me." Marcus spoke and that made everyone at the table laugh and Dean pouts even more. They began to eat as if they were really hungry. "So what are your powers or should I say categories?" Aka asks as she took a spoonful of food in her mouth. "I am a warrior and a knight same as Dawn, Shawn, Eve and Bach. My powers are mind control and speed." Troy says after drinking his water.
"Teleportation, Water and Fire are my powers." Shawn says. "Control of Time, Wind and Earth." Dawn says coldly and continues to eat.
"Invisibility and lightning are mine." Bach says with a proud expression as he looks at Akalea when he spoke. "Phasing(walk/go through anything) is mine, lil beauty." Eve says while looking at Akalea from head to toe. "Well, I'm a warrior. I shapeshift(transform/change self's body) and read minds." Marcus says with a wink smiling afterwards and continues to eat.
"I'm a warrior and my powers are strength and control of gravity." Zachary says then took a spoonful of food. "Stealth and speed is mine hence I'm an Assassin." Dean says as he suddenly appeared next to Akalea which startled Akalea to which she gasps. "Oh shit." Akalea swears, her eyes wide and the next thing she knew Dean was back at his seat, eating. Akalea didn't expect that and tried to calm her heart.
"Dean, look what you did." Akalea saw Amy flicked his forehead as she said that. "Here drink some water." Amy held out her hand and my cup of water levitated towards me. "Telekinesis?" Akalea asks and grabs the cup and drank. "Yup! Annnnd regeneration(it's like healing but like regenerating a hand that was cut off something like that.) hence I'm a Warrior and healer." Amy says smiling showing her pearly white teeth. Akalea nods her head and puts down her cup.
Now finally it leads to the last one who hasn't spoken yet. "I'm a Healer and my power is Healing." Alice says shyly sending Akalea an awkward smile her way. "Don't worry, she'll get used to you soon." Shawn whispers to Akalea as Akalea just nods her head smiling at Shawn. Dawn sees this and he felt some kind of way which he isn't familiar with so he just shrug it off and continued to eat.
"How about you, Aka? Do you have powers? I mean, you haven't been tested with the Crystal of Light yet so we don't know your category." Alice ask her voice shaky as she was nervous asking Aka because she's shy. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Akalea . Akalea was frozen on the spot, not knowing what to say. Shit.
"Oh uhm... I.." Akalea stops trying to find the right words and hoping that a miracle can save her from this situation. "I-" The bell rang stopping Akalea from speaking any further. "Oh shit. It's time for Combat Training. Josh is going to kill us if we're late." Marcus says alarmed and stood up. "Right you are, Mr. Marcus." Just then a man emerged from behind Marcus and took him by his ear.
"Oww!" Marcus welped from the pain and pouts at the man behind him. "Oh come on!" Marcus flails his hands as the man pulls Marcus with him. We laugh at the situation and stood up ourselves to follow them.
Lunch was over and everyone began to pile out to go to their class. The Rankers and Akalea went to their class together following behind the man and Marcus. As usual, Akalea is in between Dawn and Shawn as the others were in front of them talking to one another.
Akalea smiles at the Rankers in front of her. How nice. Akalea thought to herself.
Akalea felt happy as she continues to look at them as it is her first time having friends. But she was curious as to who the man was. "That man is Josh Hughes. He's our Combat Training instructor." Shawn says at the right time as if he read Akalea's mind. "Oh, okay." Is all what Aka says as she didn't see clearly what the man, Josh looked like.
Aka then heard people chattering behind them and she looked. The other students were behind them following them. She saw some girls sneered at her and some guys wink at her to which she faced forward and continued to follow the Rankers and the instructor in front of them. They were lead to the same field in Skills Enhancement class and were lead away from the weaponry filled area and went to the empty space.
Josh then lets go of Marcus' ear and Marcus rubbed his ear to rid off of the pain and ran towards the rankers. Everyone stopped in front of Josh which gave Akalea the chance to look at Josh clearly. Long black hair which complimented his chiseled face and scarlet eyes. He's as tall as Dawn or maybe a bit taller than him. "My name is Josh Hughes and I'm the instructor of this Combat Training class. You must be Akalea Knight, right?" Josh came up to Aka and took her hand, kissing it which made all the girls gasp in shock. This made Akalea flustered as the handsome mid 20s man gave her a smile.
"Y-Yes, I am Akalea Knight, s-sir." Akalea being flustered, stutters when she replied and shuts up. Dawn didn't like what Josh did so he grabs hold of Akalea's wrist, pulling it out of Josh's hands. Josh chuckles at what Dawn did and went back to his position in front of everyone, standing firmly as he looks at everyone. "Stop playing with the normie, sir Josh. She's just... a nobody." Steffan(the girl from Three: Classes(part1).) says with a smirk looking at her nails as her little posse girlfriends laugh at what she said.
"Hm. We'll see if she really is just a nobody like you said, Ms. Steffan. But as I heard, she was excellent in P.E and Skills Enhancement...." Josh says and trails off which made the posse of Steffan shut up and Steffan scoffs. "Okay! Enough of that. Since this is Combat Training, we'll train with Hand-to-Hand Combat. You have to defend yourself against an enemy who is aiming to fight you physically under the circumstances to fight with no powers. You have to fight back as well."
Josh was circling the group of students watching them closely as he said those words. His eyes hardened and firm. "First, on behalf of Ms. Akalea here since she's new we have to show her what it's like." Josh says and walks in between the students. The students in the way parted to give way for Josh. Josh was now in front of everyone once again. "Dawn, come up." Dawn follows and went to where Josh was. "Get ready."
Josh and Dawn calmed and got in their stances. Dawn started to move, his right arm motions to punch Josh but Josh evaded the punch as he tries to punch Dawn which Dawn avoids. Dawn tries to punch Josh again with his right arm but in a split second Josh caught Dawn's arm, locking it with his own and slides his right leg behind Dawn's, knocking him down. As Dawn was knocked down, Josh's elbow was on Dawn's throat but wasn't pressed on his throat just above it.
They were both catching their breaths as Josh lets go and stood up. Offering Dawn a hand to help him up. Dawn accepts and Josh motions him to go back. "As you can see when in Combat, you have to calculate your opponent's moves so you can counterattack it. You have feel it, sense it and move."
Josh says giving us a smile but then his handsome face turned serious. "Rankers, please form a line next to me." Just like earlier in Skills Enhancement, the Rankers went to Josh's side and stood straight looking at us all. Akalea saw that Emily was now with the Rankers. Where was she? Akalea just shrugs it off and listens to what Josh says next.
"In all our Combat Training class, we'll be using our hours by training with Hand-to-Hand Combat and doing some training in the woods, doing some obstacles as well. So in these hours today, is Hand-to-Hand Combat. The Rankers will choose their opponent. Then, be displayed in front of all of you to watch and once defeated or not eager to go on, move to the next opponent. Go."
Josh motions the Rankers to choose their opponents. Akalea was just waiting if ever one of the Rankers would choose her. I mean, she's urging for one of them to choose her as she felt excited. She missed the training with her father and the feel of combat. Stay lowkey though. Wouldn't want to catch attention to myself. (Uhm duh. What the hell happened earlier did get you attention though!) Akalea thought to herself but then she remembered that she did caught the attention of her fellow classmates during P.E when she put her hair up in a ponytail showing her face and her skills in Skills Enhancement.
Just then, Akalea saw that Shawn and Dawn was going to her at the same time. Shawn looks at Dawn's stern face which surprised him as it was one of the few first times he saw that expression on Dawn's face. Shawn would always see Dawn's stern expression when Dawn is fighting demons or someone stronger than him. Which made Shawn think, Does Dawn like Akalea or is she stronger in Dawn's eyes?, this made Shawn smile at Dawn.
But before Shawn and Dawn could even offer Akalea to be their opponent, a girl blocked them and is now in front of Akalea with a wicked grin. "Mind to be my opponent, normie?" Akalea saw that it was Emily in front of her. "No." Was all Akalea said and Emily smirked. Emily looked behind her seeing the brothers behind her watching the scene in front of them.
"Sorry boys. She's mine." Is all what Emily says and looks at Akalea waiting for her to move to their designated area to duel. Akalea began to move and Emily's eyes glinted knowing how she'll play with Akalea. But boy did she not know that Akalea is going to play with her instead. Emily not knowing this, they both continued to walk towards the area till they are now on the opposite side of each other.
The brothers 'tsk' and chose another for their opponents. The Rankers have now chosen their opponents and were in their designated area. "The first one to win out of all the opponents of the Rankers, will get 10 gold from me. If you win that is. Get ready." Josh holds out a little bag waving it in front of us.
It didn't matter to Akalea. She just wants to fight but Emily here just wants to beat her badly. "You ready, normie?"Emily asks with a smirk as she got in her stance. So did Akalea as she was so ready. "May I ask though why you don't like me? What did I ever do to you?" Akalea asks which triggered Emily so she charged at her.
Emily uses her right arm to punch Akalea yet Akalea avoided the punch. Emily uses her left arm to punch while going to kick Akalea's leg hoping to knock her down. Akalea avoided the punch and jumped the moment Emily aimed her leg towards Akalea's legs. When Akalea jumped, she twisted her body in the air and roundhouse kicked Emily in the face. Emily took the hit, was knocked down by the impact and was too shocked to react that she, Emily, got knocked down first.
"Damn, Ms. Akalea. You're the first one to knock down a Ranker. The Fourth Ranker at that. Whoo! Here ya go." Josh praised and was shocked to see Emily on the floor. Josh gave Akalea the little bag and went to Emily to check on her. "You okay? Do you want to continue?" Josh bent down next to Emily so he could check if she's still awake. Oh, yay got more money now. Akalea thought and smiled as she kept the bag in her pocket with the other one.
This enraged Emily, who got up and took her stance again. The other Rankers haven't even started their fight because Emily and Akalea began to fight before Josh could even say start. Everyone was watching them fight. They were rooting for Emily to beat Akalea but boyyyyyy did they see it was Emily who was knocked down by Akalea.
Everyone was too appalled that they didn't believe what they saw. "The next one to knock down a Ranker will get 10 gold as well. Come on! Focus!" Josh went back to watch the others fight and everyone came back to reality and watch the others fight.
At the same time, Dawn smiled a little bit as he knew that she isn't at all a 'normie-normie'.
In that moment, Dawn suddenly felt something he hasn't felt before about a person which is a jolt to Dawn. For him to 'wake up', he got ready to fight his opponent. Dawn's opponent witnessed him changing expressions which scared his opponent.
At the same time, Shawn proudly smiles at Akalea as he knew she wasn't really a normie as they thought. He knew what he started to feel about Akalea and shakes his head as he smiles, getting ready for his fight.
At the same time, an unknown figure saw what happened between Akalea and Emily. Hiding behind a tree in the woods far from the students and the academy. Far from the radar as to not get caught. The figure walked backwards towards the darkness and disappeared. (I literally said "Oh shiii" here when I reread what I typed)
After what happened, Emily was in her stance getting serious. "I just do." Is what Emily says and began to charge at Akalea again. She ran towards Akalea and jumped, her right leg aiming at Akalea's chest. Akalea jumped to her side and stood the moment Emily landed. Akalea started to punch Emily multiple times as fast as she could which Emily barely kept up. Emily finally caught Akalea's fist and twisted her arm towards Akalea's back, and Emily snaking her right arm against Akalea's neck to rid her off of oxygen.
"Who's going to help you now, huh?" Akalea sees this as an opportunity for Emily to knock her out which Akalea didn't like at all. As Emily tightened her arms, it was getting hard for Akalea to breath. The Rankers who were done with their fight saw the scene and hurriedly called Josh. "Sir Josh! Akalea's in trouble!" Alice shouted which alerted Josh, Shawn and Dawn. Josh began to run towards the two girls as did Shawn and Dawn. Both Dawn and Shawn stopped their fight just so they could go to Akalea.
Akalea started to get light headed so she tries to think of something to counterattack. "Emily, stop it right now!" Josh yells at Emily which Emily scoffed but Emily did not let go, Akalea stomped on Emily's foot which made Emily loosen her hold on Akalea from the pain. "Ow!" Akalea saw this as an opportunity and pulled her left arm with all her might and using both hands to grip Emily's right arm and flip her to the ground.
It was cool to look at for everyone. The three guys, Josh, Dawn and Shawn, stopped running as they saw the situation in front of them. Akalea let go of Emily's arm as she saw that the impact left Emily out of breath. "I did. I helped myself." Akalea said as she catches her breath. "Need help?" Akalea offers her hand to help Emily up but Emily slapped her hand away and got up herself.
Emily glared at Akalea and before she could leave she said this. "Next time, normie. Next time." She left the field and went in the Academy. "I'm sorry." Akalea apologized not knowing what to do. "It's fine. It must have been a shock to her. It's probably the first time she was beaten by someone let alone, you. Can you continue? You just have to fight in her stead, then." Josh told Akalea and she just nods her head.
"Okay, Ms. Akalea is going to fill in for Emily. If you want to be her opponent just come up to her." Josh says and everyone nods. Dawn and Shawn came running to Akalea checking up on her. "You okay?" Shawn asks as he looks at her neck. Shawn's hand went up to check on Akalea's neck which he got too close. Dawn coughs and pulls Shawn's hand down. "Good to see you're fine." Dawn murmurs which Akalea heard and Akalea's heart skipped a beat.
"Yeah." She nervously smiles at both the brothers. Dawn gave her a little smile and left them to go back to his fight. "You should go you still have your fight." Akalea pushes Shawn away which made Shawn chuckle and quickly left to his fight. "So who's up?" Akalea asks as she looks at the remaining students who haven't fought yet.
"Me!" "Me!" "Me!" Everyone raised their hands which surprised Akalea for she do not know what each of them plan on doing. "Me!" Someone from the crowd emerged and looked in Akalea's eyes. "Maybe Emily was just rusty. You can't be that good. Let me experience it myself." Lee(the girl from Four:Classes(part2).) said with her arms crossed against each other.
The two girls were now facing each other. Lee felt too prideful as she knows she can beat the 'normie'. When they started to move, the next thing Lee came in contact was the ground. "OOF!" Lee grunted out as pain shot up her body. "Okay I experienced it. I'm done." And out of the circle she goes.
One by one, the Rankers and Akalea dueled the rest of the students. Not one beating Akalea nor the Rankers. "Now, since you have already experienced hand-to-hand combat how does it feel?" Josh says as everyone murmurs 'painful' 'hurts' 'tired'. "So we still have an hour left-" Josh checks the watch he has on his wrist. "Let's use this time to see some of the Rankers fight. You'll need to see that you have to work hard and train hard to become one of the best." Josh says to encourage everyone.
"I mean I can see that Akalea has some knowledge and experience in this type of combat. Who taught you?"
Akalea went rigid as everyone was now looking at her. "Oh yeah, my master has taught me a bit to defend myself..." I say and scratch my neck while nervously laughing. "Okay!" Josh claps which got everyone's attention. Akalea was glad that the attention wasn't on her anymore as she felt uncomfortable. "1st Ranker, choose your opponent." Josh says and Dawn went in front. Akalea was relaxing on the side as she was tired. Her eyes went wide as Dawn looks straight at her.
Wait, he's the 1st Ranker? Oh come on! Akalea thought to herself so she tried to avoid it by looking behind her and to her sides. "I think he chose you." Someone beside Akalea says and pushed her out. Akalea stumbles on her footing and looks up. "Me? Nah it's not me-" Akalea laughs it off and tries to get out of it but she looks at Dawn and their eyes locked.
"Okay....." Akalea agreed shrugging her shoulders in the process while walking towards Dawn. "You could have picked one of the Rankers not me." Akalea argues yet Dawn just gave her a firm look. "But I chose you, didn't I?" Dawn says looking at Akalea's eyes. Just with that her heart skipped a beat again. Quit it! "O-Oh oka-okay." Akalea stuttered which made Dawn chuckle on the inside.
Cute. Dawn's own thought surprised him as he never thought of anyone as cute.
"Akalea's right but I would like to see Akalea and Dawn fighting though. So get ready!" What Josh said at first made Akalea calm down but the next she was looking at Josh with horror. Before Akalea could say anything, Dawn begins to punch Akalea which Akalea leans to the side avoiding the punch.
"What was that fo-" Akalea didn't finish as Dawn kept on pulling punches towards Akalea. Akalea tried her best to avoid most of them but one punch hit her right in the face. Akalea's body leaned to where the impact was headed. Damn he can punch. Akalea thought and spit out blood. Dawn's eyes went wide as he didn't expect his punch went through and stepped forward to Akalea to check on her. "Okay, that's enough-" Josh starts to say but Akalea held up her hand, stopping Josh and Dawn.
"It's okay. I can still fight. It's just a light punch. That's all." Akalea says as she stood straight up, wiping the blood off of her mouth. "You call that a light punch?! You're bleeding!" Someone from the crowd yells in disbelief. "When in a duel or a fight, you can't stop just because of a little blood. In a real battle, you can only stop when you or your opponent is down or dead. Unless in a real battle, you want to die first then be my guest. It takes courage to hold on and keep on fighting. Never become a coward. " Akalea says, taking her stance as she looks at the crowd then back at Dawn as she remembers the words her father told her whenever they trained.
"For I don't want to die nor be a coward. So I would rather give my all than not at all."
Dawn liked how Akalea's eyes showed him how much she experienced and went through. "Well said, Ms. Akalea." Josh said and everyone started to like Akalea at how bold she was since everyone thought she was just a normie who is good at these kind of things. Josh was now interested in who Akalea really is.
"Can we continue?" Akalea asks Dawn and he nods. Akalea starts the fight by moving forward, aiming to punch Dawn. Dawn started to lean on the opposite to avoid it but the punch was feigned. Akalea pulls her arm back and moves her right leg to kick Dawn. Dawn didn't have the time to react and was hit. Dawn moved a bit as he took the hit. Akalea pulled her leg back and jumped backwards to put space between them.
This excites Dawn as he felt pain on his leg. Nice hit, little Aka. Dawn began to run towards Akalea and did multiple punches and kicks. Akalea tried to avoid them but except one which kicked her side. Akalea felt pain shot up but didn't mind it as she tried to find a way to counter.
She thought up a plan and tried to find the timing of Dawn's punches. When she got the timing, she caught Dawn's right arm with her left arm pulling him a bit close to her so she can put her right arm behind Dawn's neck. The closeness caught Dawn off guard and didn't expect what came next. She did put her hand behind Dawn's neck, kicked Dawn's stomach. "Come on Dawn!" "Go Akalea!" Everyone was cheering as the two were fighting.
Dawn bent down at the impact and the pain he felt. This gave Akalea the idea to kick Dawn's leg for him to fall on the ground. Akalea's plan ceased as she missed to kick Dawn's leg as Dawn curved his leg to the side. This caught Akalea off guard giving Dawn the opportunity to push Akalea down, grabbing both her wrists and sitting on top of her, putting her arms above her head.
Akalea being pinned down and not having the chance to escape. "Seem familiar?" Dawn bent down to Akalea's ear and whispered. Akalea realized that he did the same thing she did to him in Skills Enhancing class. "Oh no you didn't." Akalea's shocked face turned to her laughing. "You got me." Akalea admits defeat so Dawn lets go of Akalea and stood up.
He helped Akalea up. Akalea was smiling and laughing at the same time. In that moment multiple eyes set upon her beauty as she smiled and laugh. Beautiful. Were the thought of three guys, Dawn, Josh and Shawn. Dawn's eyes held a little sparkle as he was mesmerized by the beauty in front of him.
Josh saw that Akalea was done smiling and laughing that he snapped back to reality. "Ahem." He coughs and claps his hands.
"Second Ranker, come up." This made Dawn snaps his head towards the crowd and surprisingly, he gently pushed Akalea towards the crowd with him. "Oh. Oh." Akalea blurts out as she was pushed out of the ring as she saw that Shawn was going towards the ring.
Him, too?! Akalea thoughts to herself hardly believing that the two brothers were top two Rankers. Dawn and Akalea were now back at the crowd looking forward to Shawn's fight. "Who will you choose to fight?" Josh asks as he motions to pick amongst us. "Come here, Aka." Akalea saw that Shawn was looking at her doing the finger thing like the 'come here' motion finger. "You, too?!" Akalea flails her arms as they laugh at what she did.
"Come on, we haven't fought each other yet. Come on!" Shawn runs towards Akalea and drags her back to the ring. Dawn sees this and felt a hint of a feeling he couldn't put his finger on not figuring out what he is feeling. "Fine." Akalea groans out in defeat and stood opposite of Shawn. "Can you still continue, Ms. Akalea?" Josh says with his hand on his chin, observing. Akalea gives him a thumbs up and both Shawn and Akalea proceed to take their stance.
"Fight!" Akalea took the first move, lunging for his mid section to hold/hug tight. Akalea planned to lift Shawn up and plummet him on the ground but didn't happen as she tried to lift him but his heavy body prevent her to do that. Akalea scolded herself as she forgot she doesn't have enough strength to lift him up as she sealed most of her powers. Shawn took this chance and elbow Akalea's back which pain shot up to Akalea. Everyone uttered 'oooof' as Shawn did that and felt the pain.
Dawn wanted to stop the fight and take care of Akalea but he stopped, wondering why he thinks like that as he just met the person so Dawn just continues to watch. Grunting out the pain, she loosens her hold on Shawn and Shawn grabs both her arms pulling her off of him. There were fairly enough space between them as Akalea stood up and looked at Shawn. "You're going to pay for that." Akalea says and smiles getting ready to charge again.
Akalea tries it again, lunging and grabbing hold of Shawn's mid section. Will she lift him up or did she think of another way?
