Crine falls to the ground and picks himself up, panting "Again!" He goes back to a boxer stance. Katie smirks "you're really persevering, hm?" Waiting for Crine's reply, but he continues to glare at her while breathing heavily
"Okay then" Katie tells herself going back to a boxer stance. Cynthia worries on Crine because they've been doing this for half an hour already, asking them if it's already too much. Before Katie could tell Cynthia to ask Crine about it, he nods side to side, saying no.
Katie initiates the attack, jabbing alternatively, Crine blocks each attack and finds an opening to grab her arm. He does so and pulls her closer to him, hitting her head with his elbow and turning right to hook her with his right hand and hit her bottom with his knee. Katie recovers from the series of blows quickly and fires a flurry of punches. Ending it with a hard hit to the head, making Crine fall.
"We should really end it now, you don't look so-"
Crine stands up and tries to punch Katie while she's off guard. Katie blocks the punch and noticed something, Crine gleamed with a grey iris and blue pupils for a few seconds, just enough for Katie to notice it
After it, Crine starts glowing in a greenish color, surprising everyone. While the essence starts diminishing all around him and gathering on his fist. He tells Katie that he isn't done yet and gauntlets form. "Just as expected, want to go another round?" She asks with which Crine fixes his gauntlets and steadily walks back.
The door suddenly opens and Ryuku emerges out of it, reminding the group of what time it is, that they should go back to their classes. Everyone groans in disappointment, complaining why they can't have enough time
The professor discusses about the history of Collosse, the origin of the Collosseans and how one day, they went down to their land seeking refuge.
When the professor start talking about the Collosseans that seeked refuge on their land. The thought spared a memory within Cameron's mind
"You'll have to go down.."
"#the limbo would be unrestrained then?#"
"Set it on a timer"
Cameron raised his hand asking the professor as to why he doesn't know about the war that lead them to Edenia. The professor along with a number of students were shocked, Crine asked him how he knows more than their history book. He replied that he had a dream centered on Eliseo and the last war Collosseans have fought before going down to this land for safety.
Upon hearing this, the professor asked Cameron if he knows what he is talking about because it seems nothing but gibberish. Cameron refused, asking if the professor knows the names of 4 of the Collossean high ranks and their capabilities as warriors. The professor flinched and asked back if he knows, Cameron replied back information regarding the four that he knows: Li Jin, Charlene, Eliseo, Alaizo and their capabilities. The professor stood in shock and is slowly panicking, instead of continuing the history lesson he dismissed the class early. Having all eyes focused on Cameron as he left the classroom
Hailie asked Cameron "how did you know all this?" Crine added on "from a single dream?"
Cameron stated again that he had a dream about all that. Which lead him to enroll to the school, hoping to learn more about it. "But I guess it isn't the case"
He says
"The people here are either not experienced, or are hiding information" Cameron whispers to himself.
Hailie told Cameron that he should keep low about these things until it could be used later. Because if he keeps on doing so, the school might keep their eyes on him.
He lets out a deep sigh and puts his hands on his team mates' chest, pulling them back as he sits straight, telling them to just wait for the next period. Crine taps Cameron's shoulder and points at Hailie, who's face is red because everyone is looking at them while Cameron is resting his hand on her chest. She takes action, sending a flurry of slaps on Cameron, reminding him to atleast watch where he's going to be holding the next time.
Back at the canteen again, without Zelig's team. The group is eating waiting for them while Cynthia, who's stirring her hot choco, asks Cameron about what happened the previous sessions because he hasn't been talking a lot lately. Cameron taps his elbow unto Hailie, who proceeds to explain what happened. While eating his sandwich listening to the story, Ryuku's eyes widen upon hearing that Cameron stood up to a professor.
"There's no way you just did that out of the blue, bud"
Cameron swallows a bite of omurice and tells Ryuku that he just did, and there's no way he could've stopped it. "The professor was discussing about fragments of the real thing. Why not explain the whole instead?" He replies in defence
A darkening aura infests the table and everyone's attention get drawn towards Cynthia, who pushes their glasses in which the lenses are suddenly white, covering her eyes. Cameron is frightened to the brim wondering what she would do to him.
As Cynthia stands up, Cameron prepares himself and Cynthia just held Cameron's head lightly, telling him to not do it ever again. To which Cameron replies with a nervous nod
"Hey Crine, want to have that match on the arena instead? I got it reserved for the afternoon!"
A familiar feminine voice calls out. Ryuku speaks "oh, Katie" bringing the other three's attention to the back. Crine eagerly accepted and brings the group along to watch how it'll unfold.
It's a very empty place, only 4 people on one aisle, looking over Katie on the far east and Crine on the far West of the arena. "I'm betting that you're all rested after awhile ago?" She shouts towards Crine
"And I've got a few tricks up my sleeve!" He replied confidently. Both Brawlers summon their gauntlets and ran towards each other, not losing momentum.
Both clash fists and Crine finds that Katie's is pushing against him so he drags the fist down the ground. Pulling her off balance with it, having his right fist over head, moving fast towards her.
She pushes her left fist down to reach the ground, and then quickly pushing herself off to grab the approaching fist with her left hand. The right hand completely blocking the other, she throws Crine off to the other side of the arena.
After some time, struggling to keep balance, he manages to drag his fist through the dirt slowing his momentum while Katie is keeping hers, dashing towards him.
As soon as he gets to to stand up he has a hand ready to catch an upper cut which Katie did. Blocking the attack, he drags her left fist down to the ground and does the same to her right fist. After doing so he immediately hits her with his knee then land two punches that pushed her back
"He's getting tough.." she tells herself as he's fast approaching. She blinks and her eye color changes from normal black to sapphire blue. Streaks of the yellow/green colored gauntlet fall off, revealing a different shade of color more centered to her eye colour.
She grabs Crine's blow and pulls him towards her, rendering him off balance. She ten punches him twice, pushing him a bit farther back then an overhead kick and an air kick to send him off flying.
Expecting Crine to immediately stand up to face her, she plans on upper cutting him to an air kick towards the wall, making him completely defense less.
As he stopped rolling, he lowers himself and fires a flat punch, Clashing with Katie's. Crine groans and arcs his left fist for a punch to which Katie dodges and counter with a low kick to make him trip.
Crine's iris gleam in a greyish color and his pupil into blue again, taking Katie's attention. She puts herself in a defensive stance, wondering what Crine could do while in the "state" he is in currently.
Crine charges at her and lands a powerful punch that sent out the same shockwave Feiry and Cameron had when they classes fists. "He's unstable, I have to knock him out quick.." she tells herself after experiencing the punch he dealt. But he was not done
He air kicks to Katie's left, but instead of it being powerful, it was more of like a movement tool to bring him towards Katie's back as he lands a punch to the nape. Katie plans to knock him out with all her force during the small window of time she has left.
As Crine is about to land another heavy punch, she redirects it towards the ground, leaving his hand stuck and a crater on the area. She then kicks him on the nuts and delivers a punch to the face, completely knocking him out.
"She'd never use that much force unless something happened.." when the thought sprung, she dashed quickly to the fighting ground. Prompting the other 3 to follow her. "What happened? You'd never use-" She gets cut with Katie raising her a finger to stop her "whenever his eye color changes, his fighting style and power changes drastically, too."
Ryuku walks in over hearing the conversation
"Similar to yours?" In which Katie replies with a nod
"But I can control mine, his is more of like a last stand ability"
Hailie speaks out about what happened during the teaming up part of the year. "Though Crine was a pretty funny guy, some things really tick him off. That ability must be some kind of temper tantrum, of some sorts"
"For the meantime, let's get him to the clinic and have him rest, Ryuku and I will do the explaining, the rest of you can go home."
The other 3 nod and move out of the arena. Hailie turns back for a bit, looking at the two carrying Crine to the other side. Cynthia looks back and reminds Hailie that Crine will be alright and she can go. She nods and tries to catch up with Katie and Cameron
