Go for It

I rolled my eyes, utterly fed up. Why was he so shameless?

 

"If you want to have a powerful child, shouldn't you go find Bernice and them? I don't have any abilities!" Did he really think I didn't see through his evil intentions?

 

He twisted his brows, wrinkled his face, scratched his head, and his gaze began to drift. "Um... I can't beat them."

 

Get lost!" I pushed him towards the end of the corridor, where a door appeared. He stumbled a few steps backward and leaned against the door. It wasn't the usual metallic door; it was a more advanced white pod door with a blue glow around the edges.

 

He leaned against the door, dejectedly lowering his face. "Well, it seems I can't stop you, but it's okay." Slowly lifting his face, his lips curled up with a somewhat sinister smile. "You won't pass the DR test." With that, he pressed a button on the side of the door. Instantly, the door opened, revealing a massive circular chamber, resembling a basketball court.

 

Surprised, I walked in. The white floor made you reluctant to step on it; it was covered with evenly distributed, small-sized dots emitting a faint blue glow.

 

Above the chamber, there was a circular window. As I turned around, I saw Coach Celeste and Princess Asna standing above. Dawn was lying on the glass, pouting, looking at Celeste and then at me. Soon, I heard her voice, "Such a waste~~~ Testing like this consumes a lot of energy."

 

"Cut the crap!" Lindsay gave Dawn a stern look, speaking as straightforwardly as when she talked to me. "She's not an Abilities Holder; there's no need for environmental simulation. What energy would be consumed?"

 

"Hmph." Dawn pouted.

 

However, Celeste just focused on me, a smile playing on her lips, her gaze brightening. "I believe you won't disappoint me. Yvette, are you ready?"

 

"Yeah!" I nodded firmly.

 

Farley, sitting on Lindsay's neck, waved to me. "Yvette, go for it!"

 

Bernice remained behind Celeste, expressionless. Amanda stood on the other side, watching Emery by the door.

 

When I lowered my head, I saw Emery leaning against the door, smirking. He extended his arm and waved, "Can I handle close combat, Mom?"

 

"Sure." Celeste smiled. "But you know the rules. You can't use your abilities. I think Yvette would really like to give you a good beating.""Huh?!" Emery immediately straightened up, stunned as he looked at me. "Wife, you want to beat me?!"

 

I remained silent, just quietly staring at him. Suddenly, a tremor flashed in his sapphire eyes. Could he feel my murderous intent? Tremble, Emery!

 

"First test: close combat, get ready, begin," Celeste's voice echoed in the white testing room. "Swish!" The door behind Emery closed, startling him. He jumped, "Mom! Could you give a heads up before closing the door? Almost got squished!" He walked over in frustration, hands on his hips. "Wife, I won't let you down. I just want to ask Celeste if we can fight freely."

 

Celeste smiled, "Yes, Yvette, give it your all. Don't worry about him being my son."

 

Since Celeste said so, I wouldn't hold back!

 

Emery approached me, "Wife, can we talk..."

 

Before he could finish his sentence, I kicked him directly!

 

Emery was startled and quickly dodged. His movements were swift, easily avoiding my foot. It proved that he intentionally let me kick him before.

 

I began to swing my arms gently, showcasing my moves.They could be lethal! My dad said that a girl like me might be at a disadvantage against opponents with stronger energy like Farley, so he taught me martial arts to compensate.

 

Emery playfully lifted his lips, circling around me. I moved with him.

 

As he walked, he looked me up and down. "What is this?" He touched his chin, then suddenly rushed towards me with fast punches. I, with quick eyes and agile hands, grabbed his arm, entwined it with mine, turned, used force on my waist, leveraging the force, and heard a "crack!" Emery's arm was directly dislocated by me.

 

Yes, Emery's arm was dislocated by me in an instant.

 

My dad told me that when dealing with enemies, you must strike ruthlessly. If you don't, the opponent will retaliate and go for the kill. Especially for a girl like me, who might be at a strength disadvantage, it's crucial to go all out from the beginning!

 

Facing enemies, a one-hit-kill strategy is necessary!

 

"Ah!" Emery cried out in pain. I slowly released his arm, and he kneeled on the ground, holding his right arm. I lowered my arms and looked up, seeing Celeste and Asna in shock behind the glass window. They seemed temporarily stunned, standing frozen in place.

 

Lindsay widened her eyes, "Not bad at all!""Yvette, you're amazing!" Farley exclaimed, waving her arms with excitement.

 

Amanda opened her mouth in astonishment, anxiously glancing at Emery. Meanwhile, Bernice slowly walked out from behind Celeste, approached the window, and lowered her face, looking at me. Her snow-like eyes held a quiet gaze, intense like the calm before a storm.

 

Suddenly, Elder Arufa emerged from behind the window, followed by Uncle Dominic. Dominic immediately leaned on the glass in surprise, "Emery! How did you get taken down by Yvette in one move! Don't go easy on her!"

 

"Hiss—ha—" Emery gasped in pain, kneeling on one knee, supporting his dislocated right arm on the ground. Suddenly, I saw his right arm rotating on its own, and then with a "crack!" it reset itself!

 

I looked on in surprise; he reset it so quickly! And it wasn't like the usual method of resetting. Normally, a dislocated arm wouldn't rotate on its own but could be shaken around like a loose sleeve. So... was this Emery's ability? Some kind of... restoration ability?

 

Emery stood up again, turned to face me, and smirked, "Wife, I underestimated you. I let you just now."

 

"Tch." I turned my face away; I didn't feel like he let me.

 

He twisted his neck, swayed his waist, shook his arms and kicked his legs, "Now, I'm serious!" He came at me with punches, incredibly fast!

 

Emery's close combat skills were decent.

 

Seeing him throwing punches at me, I immediately twisted my waist, drew circles with my feet, and my figure shifted to Emery's front. I grabbed his wrist, leveraged my force again, pulled him forward abruptly. Emery was thrown flying from my shoulder, and I quickly followed up with a kick to his lower back. As he thudded to the ground, I swiftly leaped onto his back, pinched the major artery in his neck with force. He didn't even make a sound; he had fainted. This was, in fact, acupressure. The whole process integrated combat.

 

Seeing him silent, I retreated from his back, stood up, observed him for a moment, and then looked up again, witnessing Celeste and Asna still in shock.

 

Elder Arufa straightened his eyes, Uncle Dominic slid down from the glass, making a "sizzle" sound. "Emery... the woman you've set your eyes on... is truly... one after another formidable... I'm left without... a daughter-in-law again... sigh—"

 

In the long and mournful sigh of Uncle Dominic, Celeste snapped back to reality, starting to applaud for me, "Clap! Clap! Clap!"

 

Lindsay and Farley also joined in, applauding for me.
