The Strongest Clan

15- The decision (3)

The next day Kai woke up and went to the training centre. This time he only got there at 9 am because unlike yesterday, today's operations didn't require set-up.

Once he got there, he greeted Emily Frey who was waiting for him, then he opened the building. Afterwards, he switched on the light. Then both him and Emily Frey walked into spar court. They spoke to each other while waiting for the girls to come.

"Are you ready for today?" Emily Frey asked.

Kai smiled, "Tip-top condition. I am a bit nervous though, today is the day..."

Emily Frey laughed, "Ah the nostalgia. I remember when I chose my partner. I was nervous too. Just like you, I had a lot of options to choose from. I wondered if I would choose correctly. In the end, I chose the best partner a girl could ever ask for. Don't sweat the small stuff you will know when you find the right one." She said and patted him on the shoulder. She tried to reach for his head but he was too tall so in end, she opted for his shoulder.

When she patted his shoulders Kai looked downwards at her and then smirked.

"Shut-up" Emily said and then they laughed briefly.

When they were done laughing the first girl walked in. Kai had already told them yesterday that they should be here at 10 am. So she knew that she had to wait for the appointed time. As time progressed more and more girls walked in until it was 10 am. Now the spar court had 45 girls inside, five girls didn't show up. Kai was disappointed but ultimately it was their decision just like it was his to choose.

Kai stood in front of the girls, "Thank you all for coming today. Today we are going to continue with the spar session. We will spar and then I'll decide if you pass or not. After every cycle, I will increase the standard as to what I am looking for to filter out the ones that don't meet the requirement. This will continue until there is only one girl left."

The girls all nodded their heads and then Kai lead them to ring 8. Kai walked into the ring then another girl walked in the ring and so it began. One after one the girls came in the ring and they sparred. Compared to yesterday the standard Kai was looking for increased because of that only 18 out of 45 were left after the first round. Then Kai took a 15-minute break, he would take a break after every round.

After his break, round 2 began and Kai sparred with all eighteen girls. This time only 7 remained. Kai surmised that there would probably two rounds left until the end. So after his rest, he began round three. This round took a lot more physical effort from him because now he was fighting multiple rounds at 1700 PI. Because of that, his break was longer too. After round 2 there was only one girl left. It was the blonde girl who he spoke to last night.

So he walked to her, "Seems you really were holding back, not only are you knowledgeable, you are strong too."

"I've still been holding back." She teased.

"We will see about that... Reveera? I did say your name correctly, right?"

She giggled, "It's Revera but I appreciate the effort."

Kai put his hand on his forehead covering one eye, "My bad." Then he chuckled, "Just think how cool I would have been had I been was correct."

"You literally have my name on a paper," Then she chuckled, " But it's cool, I'm not offended. Plus you will have all the time in the world to practice how to say it correctly."

Kai raised both his eyebrows, "Oh wow, you sure aren't lacking in confidence."

She looked him in the eyes, "None whatsoever."

"Well, then shall we see if you have the skills to back that confidence?"

"It would be my pleasure."
