The Mafia's Flower ( #2 in the Mafia Series )

nineteen

{ Reia's POV }

I freaking passed the fight with Nicolás, at first he kept pinning me down, and I kept letting him, because I was trying to see how much strength he really had. Which is a freaking lot.

He still kept the upper hand for a while due to his strength and height. I couldn't beat him with his style of fighting because he literally born to fight that style. That's how skilled he is with it.

The Russian style wouldn't work because it's calculated, forceful, and cold. I won't have to time to calculate him properly, nor do I have the body strength that Russians normally have.

The Asian style also wouldn't work because its all planned out attacks, tactics, and such.

The UK style was also out because that's strictly weapons, and the rule was not to use anything as a weapon, unless it's a body part.

So that leaves the American fighting style and the Italian. The American style is fast, and forces you to think even faster. The Italian style is very old school yet effective. It's using forceful strength but in a smaller effective way. Italian's wear their hearts on their sleeve when they fight because they use there emotions.
Which is reckless to a degree, however was effective today.

Nicolás didn't know what I was going to do, or what I was even doing while I was doing it..

I won by getting him off his feet by swiping his legs out from underneath him, which is an American trade mark. Then I managed to use some pinned up anger to hold him down by putting my foot on his throat, but not really applying pressure. He tapped the floor and I helped him get up. I mean he could've easily gotten up and we could've continued but he stood up and he told me I won fairly, and that I had passed the test.

Luis was supposed to be here to watch as his underboss so we brought him in with FaceTime. Another witness had to watch as well. So I chose Sabrina.

<{🥀}>

"Well that was freaking awesome!"
Sabrina says

"Yeah I only gained a few bruises. I didn't know if I was really going to be able to do it or not... but I did ; I passed." I tell her

"I know, and offense but I'm honestly amazed." Sabrina says

"I'm not surprised with all of the training and work you've put in over the years. You were bound to put someone on their ass with all of those built up emotions." Nicolás says

I just shrug.

"You did good." He tells me

"Thank you! Now I'm going to go rest, and drink some water until it's midnight. Where I go and face the torture until sunlight." I reply

"You take punches better than most full grown men I've seen, this will just prove to them that you aren't breakable." Nicolás reminds me

I give a nod.

"I'm mainly proving to myself I'm not breakable. The rest will believe what they want regardless." I tell him

"I don't think you would ever be truly breakable even if you tried..because if you were, you would've broke in isolation. Isolation breaks a lot of the strongest fighters, and yet it couldn't break you. That alone talks volumes to the strength you carry." Nicolás says
