He keeps finding me

Vanessa stopped the timer, "Fourty-five minutes. Very good, next up Loraine. As long as you can! Noah, you will also now measure your strength." After Noah had been sitting for about 10 minutes, Loraine was almost dead, and Noah went to his grip strength measurement. He picked up the device and squeezed it hard. The numbers on it went higher and higher until it stopped at 41,6 Kg. Which was in the average category, leaning to the weak side, though. He went to Vanessa and told her the number. She nodded and pointed to the instructor, who was fighting Zenix at the moment.
Zenix pulled a lot of hard kicks, flying fists, and agile movements to avoid the instructor's movement. He managed to defend himself well, was rarely hit, and if he was punched, it didn't even look like it hurt him. The instructor's timer went off producing a light ring, Noah was surprised by the sound he didn't hear it when he was running. Or when he was there for his grip measurement. He walked up to the instructor, it was a bald muscular man. He had many tattoos, but a very upright posture. Focused eyes were looking at him, but there was no change in his face. Noah was 99% sure that the man in front of him served in the military. And that wasn't just because of the straight posture, the focused gaze, or the emotionless face. A necklace he wore told him that, the dog tag, that is what they call it. They have an identification number on them, but he wasn't 100% sure because some family members also keep them.

The instructor was still looking at Zeinix and then put one hand on his shoulder, "You are really good at fighting, a bit disappointing that you aren't an ability user though." Zenix nodded sadly and walked to the treadmill, he also sneakily shot a wink at Noah. Noah smirked and walked in front of the instructor, the instructor although not showing it on his face, Noah could feel the other looking down at his stature. The instructor then set a new timer of five minutes, left the timer on the floor, and attacked Noah. He was as fast as a snake and avoided an otherwise very heavy punch. The instructor didn't care though and set out a kick that would have landed right between Noah's family jewels. If Noah hadn't dodged again, a back-and-forth was created between Noah and the instructor. It was a back-and-forth in which Noah didn't even try to punch or kick just avoided every punch, kick, or other tricks from the instructor. Almost three minutes have gone by and Noah slowly began to get into the fight. He looks at weak spots in the defense of the other while also making sure not to get hit himself.

Then he saw his opportunity, the instructor punched the air as Noah dodged and left his right side unprotected. So his body almost flew over as his hand flattened out and hit an acupuncture point, SP15, just on the right side of the stomach. The instructor didn't feel the hit until his stomach was rumbling a bit and gas wanted to get out. He shot a calculating gaze at Noah, ignored his stomach pain, and wanted to kick him. Only for Noah to avoid it and kicked at the left side of the knee that wasn't trying to kick him. The man he kicked, fell over and was now looking like he was going to propose. That is because he caught himself with the other leg. But Noah didn't wait for the instructor to get up, he directly roundhouse kicked his face. The instructor was now fully on the floor, he wanted to get up but his legs were pulled away from him again. His face kissed the floor, and Noah was just standing above him. Seeing the instructor like this he felt a bit bad, but he was promised points. Although he didn't really know what they would be used for he wanted them. But that bit of thinking cost him precious seconds the instructor was already on his feet again, kicking, punching, and trying some faints he hoped Noah would fall for.

But Noah didn't, he defended himself and also punched the instructor's face, sides, and shoulder blades often. They were both enjoying the fight as well as feeling frustrated every time they couldn't break through the other's defenses. The timer rang and the five minutes were up, only Noah and the instructor were still in the feeling of the fight. Noah was kind of glad the timer rang through, his body would not have held on for much longer.
He shook hands with the instructor as a sign of peace and also a sign of goodwill after the match they just had, "Just like the guy before you, if only you had an ability. And I'm sorry, deep down I thought of what a weakling you were. But in turn, you showed me that size and outer appearance don't necessarily mean they are weak." Noah smiled and walked to the treadmill, to watch Zenix.
