The Locker Room Brawl

Lilith handed Ted another small pouch which earned her a bewildered look. He was just walking to math when she had stopped him. She just shrugged. "Heard you had bull problems." She simply said as she walked off. Ted looked over the small leather pouch before stuffing it into his bag and walking off to class. Hopefully he won't need them anytime soon. He made his way to his seat just in time for class to start. As he listened to the teacher who was just going on and on about triangles, he placed his head on his fist.

"Psst."

Ted lifted his head and looked around. "Psst." His head snapped around trying to find the person only to find Cid sitting next to him. Has he always been in this class?

"Can I help you?" Ted asked uninterested. Cid looked around before sliding his phone out of his pocket and into Ted's hand. Ted looked at him and Cid motion for him to look at it. He did as he was told and saw his school's picture with some numbers under it. "What the hell is this?" He asked.

Cid smiled proudly. "Your fighting index. After watching your fight with Liam I decided to keep fighting records on everyone. You were the first." He explained. Ted just gave him an odd look. "So, you're stalking me?" He questioned. Cid quickly shook his head and tried to defend himself. "No, it's just, I want to help."

"Help? Help with what?"

Cid leaned in and Yes followed. "I want to help you take down the Demons." He whispered. He and Ted shared a glance and both began to chuckle. Looks like he just made a new friend.

"So you have the fighting records of every student at WWA? How'd you manage that?" Jim asked.

The group; Ted, Jim, Pip, Oscar, and Olivia, were all on the roof as Cid explained his invention. They were all impressed to the point of inviting him to join him as he excitedly told them everything about it.

"It took a lot of asking around and math but pretty much I found out how many fights everyone in the school's records have been. I then calculated how many they won and how many they lost and used that to make the fighting index. I can tell you all your numbers if you'd like." He offered.

Ted shook his head. "How about Raging Bull's instead?" If he was going to face him again it would be better to find out what he's dealing with. Cid typed the name in and a profile popped up.

"6,000." Ted raised an eyebrow. "And mine?" He asked. "100." The tension in the air was suddenly apparent when everyone shot looks to each other. This is going to be much harder than any of them thought. "Judging by the numbers, Bull must've been in 60 fights at the very least or won 60. Ted had gotten into one and won so he's at 100." Jim analysis. Olivia counted it in her head and confirmed it. Cid back it up as well. "Every fight is 100. Win you get 100 but if you lose you lose 100. Pretty simple stuff." He explained.

Ted groaned as he leaned back against the wall and stared at the sky. He was already tired just thinking of the fight that was bound to come. Olivia noticed this and placed a hand on his shoulder. She was blushing like a fool but she figured she should get used to being close with friends and physical affection seeing as Eve loved to hug her and Ted had a habit of subconsciously "petting" her.

"It'll be fine. I'm sure you can get through this." She assured with an awkward smile. Ted relaxed a bit as his friends watched the two. Pip smiled at his friend while Jim and Oscar stared with disapproval. "I'm rooting for him and Steph." Oscar whispered. "Nah. Team Eve all the way man." Jim disagreed. Cid was just happy to be involved.

To say Ted was exhausted would be an understatement. P.E. killed him on top of the injuries still healing. Hell, he was the last one in the locker room since he was still having trouble getting dressed. He sent a text to Jim to help out and he stated he was already on the way leaving Ted to sit on the bench waiting in sweaty gym clothes.
