Capítulo 4: Fight
"Well without any further adieu, let's fight."
I said and quickly made my way to the sparring area.
"Don't you have to change? Don't tell me you are gonna fight wearing that ridiculous outfit."
Jean said making me realise that I was wearing the clothes Emily picked out for me today.
"Remind me to never ask you for any fashion advice since you clearly have no taste." I said while getting off the training ground and making my way towards the changing room.
"Just give me two minutes and I will be right back." I said
***
Should I say thanks? I would have hated to have destroyed the clothes I had just bought. Not to mention, the outfit was expensive.
But I really don't like her personality at all so I will decide later.
I came out of the training room wearing black trousers, sneakers and plane white T-shirt.
"You sure took you time getting ready princess. A few more minutes and I would have thought you ran away." she said as soon as she saw me.
Yeah, I am not gonna say thanks to this bitch in a million years. Even if one day in the future she ends up saving my life or something I wouldn't say thanks to her.
"Well unlike someone here I do care about my looks. Unlike you I feel uncomfortable being ugly all the time."
"Alright cut it out! We did not come here to hear you two argue with each other. We came here to watch you fight." My grandpa said and I once again got onto the sparring ground.
"We will start the fight at the third beep get ready." father said
*Beep*
She took a combative position immediately. I was still standing there with my hands in my pockets.
*Beep*
She was clearly annoyed because of my nonchalance. But that just made me enjoy it even more.
*Beep*
"Die" she yelled as she sent an enormous fireball towards me but that in turn covered her line of vision.
'Soru'
"You know shouldn't let your enemy get behind you so easily." I said as I concentrated energy on my fists and threw a punch at her.
I really wanted to do the 'Thousand Years of Death' on her but I figured that will be a little too inappropriate.
She knew I was behind her as soon as she heard my voice and even before I could complete my sentence, she had charged up her fire to create a defensive wall all around her to block my attack.
Both of our attacks collided and were cancelled out.
Yes I did feel the pain of my hand burning but it was just some pain there was no proper injury. At least now I know that she actually is good. Probably on the same level as Eley or a little higher which is something to be proud about.
She was also quick on her feet. She was shocked to realise that I was behind her but she didn't hesitate in her next move. She had even created a good amount of distance between us again which is necessary for a long range fighter such as herself.
"So...Pyrokinesis huh?" I said as I wiggled the hand I had used for the attack previously in the air.
I can't be careless like before. I would indeed need to use my Armament Haki to deal with her. Her previous attacks and defence could hardly be considered the full extent of her pyrokinetic abilities.
Her last defence was shabby but that is to be expected but now that she knows I can speed blitz her easily, she knows what to expect and will stop attacking me carelessly and analyse my abilities first.
<3rd POV>
While Owen was having his inner monologue, the reactions of everyone present were different.
While his family members were proud and looking all smugly towards their guests, they couldn't help but think that he was much faster than before. They were all experienced awakened ones and knew about his abilities really well.
Owen was strong. Much stronger and talented for someone his age. To be able to create a technique like Soru or flash step as he had told his family members at the young age of 16 is absolutely jaw dropping.
Owen had taught this technique to everyone in his family members and they all could use it as well but his proficiency in the technique was simply a few levels higher than all of them.
They all experienced tunnel vision while using that technique and had decided to use it to only escape a long distance during a fight if they have to instead of using it offensively like him. The reason why he could use Soru that effectively was simple. He has the Observation Haki which is something that the others will never possess.

On the other side at the Omega group. They all had bewildered expression on their faces at the scene they had just witnessed.
It would have been believable if Owen's ability was speed but the Knight family focusses on brute strength more than anything so this came as a complete shock to them.
Of course, it wasn't as if they couldn't follow his movements clearly but for someone of his age, he was clearly the fastest person they had ever witnessed.
This caused Taylor Johnson the chairman of the Omega group to glare towards the Knight family scrutinising them internally for they have had such a prodigy in their hands yet had refused to tell the world about it.
The thought brought his gaze towards Charlotte as well because he couldn't help but think what if they had been training even more talented people in secret to increase their strength.

Meanwhile Jean was having trouble accepting what had just happened.
She wasn't mad about the fact that she got speed-blitzed, physical abilities had never been her strong suit. What she was mad about the fact that how she just got completely humiliated.
Owen had the chance to end the fight right there and then. If he hadn't spoken and told her where he was and used his strongest attack, she would have lost without even realising how.
But that didn't happen. Owen had gone out of his way to give her the utmost humiliation she could ever imagine by toying with her in front of the people who had their hopes on her.
Looking at the smug smile plastered on his face didn't help her anger either but she decided not to give in to her impulses since she would be playing right into his hand if she did that. So instead she calmed herself down.
'I made a mistake by underestimating him. That won't happen again.' she thought and started strategising her next move.
She is also an absolute prodigy when it comes to power control and that is in fact a field where not even Owen can hope to compete with her.
She created a red coloured translucent barrier around of her which was also covered in flames and she manifested a few dozen small fireballs in the air at the same time as well. She even spread her fire around the ground as a way to slow him down.
"You got some nasty control over there." Owen complimented her while marvelling at the sight.
"Don't think that you will be able to pull that off again. I am gonna go all out now!" she growled at Owen
"Well, if you are going all out then I guess I should get a little serious too." he said as he stretched out his right arm to his side and said, "Armament". Immediately afterwards, his arm turned to a shiny black colour with green hue around it.
Not wanting to give him a chance to attack, Jean immediately fired multiple fireballs towards Owen at a fast speed leaving trail of fire in the air. Each of her attacks were incredibly destructive but as if predicting each attack, Owen moved directly towards her dodging all of her attacks as if it were a child's play.
Closing the distance between them, the fireballs speeds were increasing more and more. It also didn't help that Jean had reduced the size of her fireballs. She had decided to sacrifice the destructiveness in exchange of accuracy and speed.
Realising that the distance between them was smaller than ever, Jean decided to send a wide area of effect attack at him which would cause him to use his previous technique to either appear right behind her again or he would create a wide distance between and will stop in his tracks.
And that was exactly what happened. Owen appeared behind her out of nowhere but she was ready for it this time and had launched a dozen fireballs directly at his position as soon as he landed.
She had expected him to dodge once again as had everyone else in the audience as well but contrary to everyone's expectations, Owen decided to meet the attack head on.
His fist met with the dozen fireballs coming at him from his front.
*BOOM!!*
The sound of the explosion reverberated throughout the underground training arena sending shockwaves in every direction including the flames.
Owen's attack was so powerful that it had brought shocked expression on everyone's faces because his attack didn't stop there. His attack completely overpowered Jean's even destroying her barrier and hitting her without ever coming into physical contact with it.
She was sent flying through the arena to stumble on the ground causing her to roll a few times causing a few of her bones to break before standing up as the dust settled.
However, without getting anytime to react or process what was happening, she was met with a punch to her guts causing her to vomit a mouthful of blood and sending her flying through the air and crashing into a wall and wrecking the wall as a result.
The training ground was made to withstand the damage and not making the house above cave in on itself. Though it will be a little costly to repair the wall again.
"So, do you give up or you still want to continue fighting?" Owen asked as he stood close to Jean and looked down at her with a menacing look in his eyes giving her the shivers.
"The fight ends here with Owen's victory." Owen's father said while walking towards them.
The result was a one-sided victory in Owen's favour. The reason why it was one-sided was because everyone had realised that he was simply passing time.
If he had used that attack from a distance without trying to close the distance between them, he could have won that way as well.
Instead he just treated the spar as a short training exercise.
Facing such a humiliating defeat at the hands of a group weaker than them made Omega's chairman to gnash his teeth as he ordered his other 2 underlings to take Jean away and escort her into the car.
Owen's Grandpa left to see the Omega group out to make sure they don't dare to attempt any funny business in their mansion.
Whereas Owen simply threw a smile and peace sign to the rest of his family members and celebrated his win later on by having the chefs cook a feast for him.
