Chap 47 - Day Before the Big Day

Saturday soon came by. I won in each round in the ring but my body's all been bruised up. The only thing i've been protecting was my face .. i didn't want my face to be purpled up when i try to attend my graduation

it's stupid . my gang companions regularly tell me that it's pointless to go there because it's not in my nature to pursue my education

i sometimes think about it and they're right but .. what do they know? why are they telling me what i can or cant be? i'm helping them in this fight and yet all they've been doing to me was trying to pull me down

sure they didn't succeed in school but i did — i passed and i'm proud of it.

if it wasn't for me being indebted to Vixon, i would have totally refused them. Tch this is so annoying

When prepping for the real game, reiju's words kept echoing in my thoughts, causing me to become distracted.

i really do wanna go back .. to the Empress .. but this .. is holding me back

morning to afternoon, all i've been doing was busy fighting. some noticed that i've been blocking my face and they would make counterattacks to hit me directly

so annoying

"Dude you look like shit" Niku whatever his name was, said

"Shut up" I plainly let out. "Aren't you going graduation tomorrow?"

"I failed the finals so no," he shrugged

"You could always try again you know.."

"I know but right now, i'm going to continue my dreams"

"You?" I scoffed, "I didn't think you had dreams"

"Haha real funny. All people have dreams, It's the purpose of their life. Just some don't know if it's really what they want and well some also don't have a choice, they either listen to their head or to their heart yanno"

"Since when were you such a quote geek?" i giggled, hearing him say such weird words

"Ugh shut up. Let's spar" he said stepping in the ring

"Okay" i grinned. "Feel free to use that same technique you used to me back at the academy"

"I play fair. Now, sir, I shall only use that against my deserving opponents."

"Did you just call me sir!?"

"I did, indeed. Our future is in your hands tomorrow. Now then.. come and get it!" he sneered, and rushed.

i lowered my eyes as he said that last part

He rushed, swinging a strong right hand. It was too late for me to attempt to block his punch since it caught me really quick, but I decided to take it on the mouth.

I spat blood but I grabbed him and violently threw him onto the ground, creating a dust cloud in the process. He rolled over like a cat, gasping for breath.

Shit is he actually stronger than me-

he's a pretty scrawny guy with arm muscles but nothing below that.

Once more charging at him, I gave him two strong blows to the head. He braced himself and began to swing in a blind rage with both hands swinging with as much force as he could muster, his skull roaring with pain and nausea.

He grunted in desperation at his own strength, wondering how the hell can i hit him this hard

he soon shifted his attack with lightning speed. He missed a right, and following it in with the weight of his body, slid his arm around my neck, and jerked up his feet and sat down hard,
