7 Stop Nagging me

A sword and an axe clashes, the two weapon holders are equally matched. Both confront their opponent gaze fully filled with ferocity.

"Now I will show you the reason why in am called Widowmaker", said the sword welder.

"I thought that was because your parents had to become divorced, so they can divide the burden of your disgusting presence", said the axe helder.

With a vein pulping in his forehead the sword helder appointed his weapon for his opponent, saying, "How dare you... Ah!".

Not letting the opportunity created by the enemy losing his focus, because of is anger, the axe helder was swift when he hit the sword helder in his leg, macking he shout a pained cry. The sword helder was surprised by his opponent smooth moves, he fell on the ground embracing his leg saying, "Bro what's is your problem? You hit my knee. Argh it hurts"

"You that is to slow, man.", said the axe helder.

"My knee! You jerk! Don't you know what is fair play? You hit my knee!... Ooh... It hurts!... My knee!".

The axe helder don't think that his friend can act like an professional soccer player, so he was starting feeling guilty, he said, " Listening man, I'm sorry... I didn't thought that it was hurt you this much... You kn...".

The sword helder interrupted him, "Shut up! you hit my f@@#@ knee!"

From bellow the 10x10 meters arena, a person in one jump covered the 7 meters distance between him and the boys, starting the duo. The person who arrived was a Qillin, with two big fangs, a pair of big round ears, grey pur, with exception of his bull horns, all of his racial characteristics show that he has a rodent affinity. Wearing a sweatshirt, sport tennis and cap, that suit very well with his athletic slim body.

The 1.74 tall man said aloud for the boys and the audience,"Alright! Alright! Enough! This match Tales was the winner."

The sword helder hearing what he said tried to defend his cause, "Teacher Mike! Tales hit my knee with the intent..."

The P.E teacher Mike looked at his student, sighted and said, "I know that Tales played dirty. That wasn't a move with sports ethical, but, this was a spar, not a game. In a spar is needed to simulate a real fight, so isn't wrong play dirty... and the school spar weapons are dull, so you can't be this hurt".

"Ahh... My knee still painful, but you may be right... next time I will beat the shit out of you", the last part the sword helder was saying appoint for Tales, the axe welder.

"hehehe I'm waiting", said Tales.

In Hexus World many society, if not all societies, have fighting as a intrinsic part of their culture. This was needed for them to survive in the harsh environment were they are born. Even with the modern era technology, societies are unable of erasing all dangers from of the world. An example of this is that between countries usually exist areas of hundreds, if not thousands, of kilometers of inhabitable area full of monstrous beasts, they are called Wild Areas.

Just like all sapient species have a use for mana, others animals have a use to it too. They may be incapable of cast a spell or even use simple magic, but is normal a animal be exceptional in using mana to reinforce his body. Different from the years of hard train that a sentient species individual would need, some animals achieve supersonic speed, hercules strength, shout lighting or grow to gravity defying heights just by eating and aging.

With the duo existing the arena, Mike called another students from the gym grandstand. Some complained about today class be a spar and other are excited to fight, after all, just like any sport isn't everyone who like like fighting. This spar was special, it was the first spar of the class in the year, and was in it were the rank of combat prowess of the class would be determined.

From the students from the class that is in the gym now, just a little less than the half of the students are determined to try get a rank, from the rest of the class who don't wanna participate, four of them are on some of the last rows of the grandstand, chit chatting.

"I will participate", said a girl with than skin and a grumpy look on her face.

An Yellow Entomo Beetle who was laying down on the row of sits, chilling lustring his horn looked at his human friend with a incredulous look, not that the girl could tell what face he is doing, and said, "I thought that you wasn't participate this year. Getting your ass beat today changed your mind?".

Korvaurora tickled her tongue when Orfeu comment about the early event, she looked at only green head lower in the grandstands, her face became more grumpy and she said, "You are d#*$ right. I will beat that sneaky bastard ass".

"He won against three thugs from 'The Pride' alone and above all, he was unscathed. If I should bet with money in stakes between you two, I would bet in the new guy", said Orfeu.

Korvaurora looked at her friend yellow shameless face and said, "Thanks for the support. I don't even need enemies if I already have you as friend".

Orfeu was putting more oil on the fabric that he was using to polish his only horn in middle of his forehead, as he said, "Hey Korva! if hadn't money in stakes, I would bet on you. After all I am your friend, Heheheh".

Yasmin who was entertained watching the fight bellow, had her attention catched by their conversation, she said, "Korva had a good position on the power rank last year because of her spell, she may be able of winning if he is slow an is afar from her".

Korvaurora grinned and said,"Yasmin is my only true friend here. Different from some traitor beetle".

Orfeu acted like Korvaurora commentary about his nature was a compliment and happily continued to polish his horn. Korvaurora looked back at her knew sworn enemy, the only one beside her father in law, Louis. She said, "After the end this fight, I will challenge the new guy".

In less than a minute the match on the arena ended. When the teacher Mike looked for anyone who wants to fight, Korvaurora stand up and was starting to going down. When a vividly voice was heard by all persons on the gym, "I Will!".

From the center of the grandstand an individual was going down the stair. He had dark crimson scales, a muscular body build, the spikes in his spine can be seeing even with he wearing the school uniform, sharps teeths are showed in his almost perpetual crazy smile and even having just 1.50 meters of height, he had the aura of a wild beast.

Jamil who was sneaking playing a game on his bracelet, hearing the red Alzawarif voice, lowered his game and looked at the arena, saying, "Finally will Zaaz fight? Now it will become interesting".

Zaaz jumped 2 meter in the air and fell on the arena, of course I wasn't high as Mike did early, but it still a great feat for a tweenager. Mike looked at his student eager for a fight and smiled, he thought, "Oh! I miss have this energy. At least as a adult what i haven't anymore in energy, i have in money... what isn't much".

"Zaaz will fight, anyone want to spar with him?', said Mike.

Before anyone could have the chance of accept, Zaaz said, "Teacher can I do a challenge?".

"Of course", said Mike, he didn't found any problem in some healthy competition.

Hearing Mike letting him do as he like, Zaaz looked at the grandstand and said aloud, "I challenge you new guy! Did you have the courage fight me?"

Martre who was on the grandstands talking with some girls, looked annoyed at Zaaz, he scratched but he still getting on the way for the arena. Orfeu saw Korvaurora returning and sitting back were she was before and asked in a mocking tone, "Wasn't you going to challenge the new guy?".

Korvaurora tried not mind too much about Orfeus venomous commentary, and said, "The new guy is screwed, Last year Zaaz was the best fighter In or class. I don't wanna steal Zaaz prey"

Orfeu made a mocking smile, as he said, "Yeah you could steal his prey hahaha. I am fortunate besides my shiny horn i have a humorist as my friend"

Korvaurora made a magic circle in front of her and said, "Who friend of yours is a humist?".

"Hahaha take it easy lets watch the match and see the new guy take a beating", said Orfeu.

Korvaurora after some seconds staring Orfeu,nodded and looked back for the match, she was more curious about the battle than angry at Orfeu usual nagging. Martre took a training sword from a cabinet and he jumped in the arena, there he said, "Let's do this quickly. I fight without rewards is pointless".

Zaaz walked away from Martre, until they have the appropriate distance to start a fight. He stopped, turned around, assumed a battle pose and said, "I heard that you was strong enough to defeat three guys alone".

Martre didn't assumed a pose, he was just there standing, as he said, "And you will be the next. So do your best".

Zaaz for the first time he stopped his smile since he walked in the arena, with a serious face he said, "I recommend you to take this fight serious".

Martre yawned, with one of his eyes still closed, said, "I will take this battle serius if i felt that i need to. Just come on".

Zaaz lowered his body, the muscles of his legs expanded in an unnatural way, as he said, "Alright, is your funeral". Suddenly Zaaz disappeared from the vision of many people, Martre as if had heard the sound of Zaaz kicking the ground finally became alert, but was to late. Zaaz was above him on air, with a powerful punch he crumpled Martre head on the ground.

Zaaz saw Martre body not moving, he walked away laughing lunatically, saying, "You shouldn't had such arrogance without power to back it up... like I have hahahahaha!".

When Zaaz was near the arena edge, he heard a voice,"Sorry by my behavior early". Turning around he saw Martre standing with his nose bleeding. Martre spat a bit of blood, assumed a battle instance and said, "This battle just begun".

Zaaz grinned, assumed a battle instance and said, "I knew that battling you would be fun".

Martre and Zaaz run in each other direction. As a ferocious battle, as said by Martre, just began on the arena, everyone in the gym was watching it enthusiastically... besides one person.

"Aren't they just teens? How can they be this good when fighting?... And why are everyone ignoring the Arena's stair?", startled thought Korvaurora.
