章 7: Superior Club
Jacob was a VR-type gamer and due to that, he was built way better than 'Controller Gamers'.
He was of average height, had black curly hair, and was incredibly handsome. He had emerald eyes and sharp facial features.
"Then let's prove it." The younger Aristevo twin suggested.
"And how would we go about doing that," Hubris asked his brother.
"Simple, something that we all need to excel at in our clubs." Ava interjected.
"What would that be?" Hubris began thinking about a quality that all 4 clubs had to possess, to excel in their fields.
After minutes of failed suggestions due to them being biased towards a certain club, Jacob finally made a fair suggestion.
"Reaction speed."
"Do you really think your reaction speeds are on par with ours?" Ava taunted.
Hubris began laughing at Ava's comment and declared proudly.
"Us boxers are much faster than the rest of you."
"Then let's prove it." Hagan shrugged his shoulders.
"Let me explain the challenge. Kebabbing, we throw chunks of meat into the air and use a skewer to catch as many as we can. Whoever catches the most, wins."
The one to come up with the challenge was Jacob the captain of the gaming club.
"To make things more fun, no vice-captains or captains can participate," Ava suggested with a confident smirk.
"That wouldn't be fair."
The one to speak was Eidikos Avenoir who sat at the end of the table, the captain of the boxing club hadn't said anything the whole evening.
The 57 other students at the table and even the coaches turned to face the young man who was speaking, all with surprised expressions. Eddy wasn't one to join the captains' petty competition.
"And why is that? Are the captains the only talented people on the boxing team?" Ava began chuckling mockingly.
"No, because the fastest member in our club is neither Hubris nor I." Eddy replied calmly.
'Is he bluffing. No way anyone is faster than Eddy, he is the sole reason I suggested no captains, not even I can compete with him.' Ava was confused by Eddy's comment.
"Then prove it." Ava calmly shrugged.
Jacob was also slightly intrigued by who Eddy was speaking about, while Hagan couldn't care less and simply wanted a chance to beat his brother.
Hagan looked around his table before he spoke.
"So, pick your representatives. I pick Mason."
Hagan pointed at a tall, muscular, dark-skinned 3rd year with short curly black hair with dark brown eyes.
"Then I'll go with Lilith. "
Ava patted the shoulder of a tall, athletically built pale 4th year with long wavy brunette hair which was tied in a ponytail and hazel eyes that were sitting next to her.
"Gregory."
Jacob looked at a short, bulky tanned, baled 5th year with blue eyes and a forearm tattoo of a dragon, who sat next to Drako.
"Well, I'll pi-" Hubris was interrupted by a deep monotone cold voice.
"Tensei, you're up." Eidikos looked at the youth who was sitting next to Hulk.
Percy's face scrunched slightly upon hearing the name of his fellow first year.
The young teen with deep red eyes and jet-black long hair was drinking water sadly when he heard his name being called.
'Since I didn't bring my wallet, I'll drink water.' Kiko internally cried.
Hulk patted the back of the first year whose name was being called.
"Oh, you mean me?" Kiko looked at his captain who had called his name.
"No, the other Kiko Tensei." Skylar said sarcastically.
Kiko's facial expression twisted hearing the tone of his fellow first year.
'She's getting on my nerves.'
'Well, this could be a chance to improve my left hand.'
All the club members, whose names were called out stood up and walked to the empty space in between the coach's table and the students.
'He has to be kidding right. He picked a first year?' Ava looked at Kiko with eyes of curiosity.
Lilith- Girls' volleyball club
Gregory- Gaming club
Mason- Basketball club
Kiko Tensei- Boxing club
Everyone turned to look at the contestants and they began cheering on the representative of their clubs. Even the coaches who were having light drinks stopped to watch their club members' competition.
'There's no way in hell that young tadpole will lose.' Azure thought as he chuckled.
"Here we go!" Hulk stood with a plate of 20 small chunks of cooked beef in his hands.
The first to compete was Lilith, the 4th year stood with a long skewer in her right hand waiting for the chunks of meat to be tossed.
Hulk the appointed referee, threw the meat high into the air toward Lilith and took a few steps back.
The pretty 4th year closed her left eye to get a better read on the trajectory of the meat and to improve accuracy. She used the stick to skewer multiple pieces of meat in the air and the ones she couldn't catch landed on the plate on the floor by her feet.
She caught 12 chunks of meat.
"Phew, that was harder than expected."
The same scene happened with the other 2 members of the other club with various results.
Lilith-12
Gregory-11
Mason-9
Kiko's turn.
Kiko sighed as he walked up to hulk with the wooden skewer in his left hand.
"Clearly the challenge is over, it's evident we're the better club" Ava claimed smugly.
Both Hagan and Jacob had gone quiet after their club members had disappointed them and were now practically sulking.
Hubris was grinning confidently as he saw his first year walk up.
"You better not disappoint me Kiko."
'What's the point, if I'm not going to even eat it.' He sighed again.
Kiko looked at the confident volleyball captain and smirked as he thought of an ominous idea.
"Hey, you seem confident I won't beat Lilith's score. Care to make a side wager?"
"Sure, what is it." Ava laughed at the cocky first year.
'Was Eidikos right about this kid?' She quickly brushed off the ridiculous idea.
"You pay for my meal." Kiko tried fighting the urge to smile menacingly.
"And if I win?"
"Whatever you want." Kiko shrugged.
"If I win you become my personal pet for the next month, and if you win, I'll pay for your dinner and buy you a meal whenever you want." The captain smiled at the thought of owning a first year.
'Pet? What the hell is wrong with her?' Kiko was wondering.
"It's a deal." Kiko declared.
All the volleyball club members laughed at the thought of their captain having a pet.
'Let's see what someone who seeks 'fun' is capable of.' Skylar wondered curiously.
"Poor Ava is going to be bankrupt." Drako chuckled.
With the skewer in his left hand, Kiko looked at Hulk and nodded for him to start.
'Isn't he right-handed?' Coach Azure wondered.
Hulk tossed the meat into the air and stepped back allowing the teen to work his magic.
'That's meal ticket number 2.' Kiko internally giggled.
Instead of closing one of his eyes to improve coordination and accuracy Kiko kept both open and took a deep breath.
In an instant he struck multiple pieces of falling beef and they stacked onto his wooden skewer, his speed was far superior to the previous contestants, but his accuracy was poor due to it being his left hand. Due to this he sometimes had to aim for the same piece of meat once or twice to get it onto the skewer.
After he had concluded the challenge, he sighed as he was now mentally exhausted.
Not a single piece of meat fell onto the plate at his feet.
'Hmm, my coordination and accuracy were extremely poor. When I finally get into my first bout my opponent will be moving, so I should stop using the heavy and light bags and start using moving targets. To improve my left-hand coordination I should start doing daily tasks like brushing my teeth and writing with my left...'
Kiko continued analyzing his performance which he deemed subpar.
Hulk the referee finally announced the winner after a few moments of silence as everyone was trying to process the phenomenon that had just occurred.
"First place goes to Kiko Tensei of the boxing club. pieces of meat caught: All of them."
With the skewer still in his left hand, the youth went to go sit down as everyone looked in his direction in awe except for Eidikos.
"I told you it wasn't fair." The boxing captain stood up and went to the bathroom.
Kiko sat down in his seat ignoring the stares and demonstrated another monstrous feat, he put all the pieces of meat on the skewer in his mouth and swallowed it in one go.
"This is delicious. Thanks, Ava!" He smiled as he began devouring everything in sight like a carnivorous beast.
'This kid is a demon!' She thought as she watched him eat and remembered the spectacle, he put on in front of everyone.
"You really didn't want to be my pet, did you?" She teased the youth.
"Huh, I didn't care about that. I'm just hungry as hell."
She laughed amusedly as she watched the youth wipe out every piece of meat in his way.
