Chapter 109 - Her opponent

After they've placed their bets, everyone of them headed out of the Hall to do some warming up and have a chat with their teachers.

"Remember what I've been telling you since all these while, don't get distracted and don't force yourself. make sure to learn okay?" were the only words Diana got to hear from Aroma.

Meanwhile….

"Give your all to win."

"Show no mercy."

"Don't let me down."

"Crippled your opponent if possible. Do anything to win."

Those were the kinds of words the others got from their teachers. Their motto is to win at all cost.

While everyone was worried about making their teacher lose face; Diana was calm, since there wasn't any pressure on her.

Except for the fact that she just foolishly throw away the money that could round up more than a years salary as a secretary; she doesn't have any issues at all.

They did some warming up and exchange few blows to make sure she's prepared and all, before leaving to get ready for the fight.

A few hours later.

The trainees were all in the Hall, chatting and laughing with each other, which made Diana wondered if they could hit each other when there's this sort of closeness between them.

But then she recalled all the beating she got from Aroma and how she still ended up laughing with her after.

She took a deep sigh and stood quietly alone. She's the only trainee, as she has no partners, but others were together cheering for the nominated ones from their classes.

Giving them words of encouragement and all.

All she had in mind at the moment is how to get her money back, even if just half of it. The thought of parting with such a large amount of money still make her heart ache.

A big flat timer hung above them, where they could all have a clear view. About 30 minutes later, A blonde woman in a sexy bum shirt and a crop top walked sexily inside the ring.

"Attention please!" She said, one hand on her hips while the others held onto a piece of paper.

Gaining everyone's attention; she began speaking. "As you all know, the rules for the tournament changes every time it was held. There's a new setting, which I will be explaining to you all now, please listen attentively." She said and walked towards a young man who stretched his hand into the ring, extending a microphone towards her.

Diana could tell that she's the host for today and listen attentively. She's really curious about the so called setting.

"As you might have understood while placing bets, the goal for today is 2. Win and endurance.

For the win: within 60 minutes; you must achieve a critical hits that will make your opponent unable to get up on his or her feet for 5 seconds, or make him/her admit to defeat with whatever methods you could come up with. If you manage to do that; it falls under the win categories immediately and you're done!.

For those that bet for a contestant to win and it did, you will get your money back, while the money placed on your opponent will be shared among you guys, according to the ratio of the bets.

That's all for win.

For endurance. If both opponents managed to last 60 minutes without a winner; they will still remain in the game and get to face another opponent after a few rounds, leaving them to catch their breath. A contestants who managed to endure three consecutive matches and neither win nor lose will fall under endurance.

Those who placed their bets on the contestant will get back their money, while the money of those who bet for them to win or lose will be shared among you guys, according to the ratio of the bets.

That's it for endurance.

"Sh*t!" Diana cursed. She wondered why she didn't go for endurance. She's confident In enduring pain now, and believed she could do it. But having to achieve critical hits on these people who are used to pain is a dream she didn't think will come true. '10,000 bucks' she said the amount again in her mind and sighed as she felt her heart tightened. She felt suffocated and pissed at herself, but since it can't be reversed; she let it be after a few minutes of thinking.

Four tall guys stepped into the Hall with a large white papers in their hands, with some words written on it. They nailed the papers to the wall and headed out.

Everyone rushed towards it. One of the papers contains names of participants and their opponents. The first on the list were Maniac and Aroma.

She raised her brow and wondered what they were thinking by pairing up that slim model figure, who looked like she could break into two if one hug her too tight; with a well built dude like Nathan.

Before her imaginations could run further, she recalled how the tiny girl managed to stop Ethan from approaching her when Nathan threatened her life to make Ethan behave.

She scrolled through the list and saw that only Zika and beast were nominated from her roommates to participate.

Her eyes caught her name at the middle of the list and saw her opponents name to be 'Wild'.

Recalling how they were named according to something related to either attitude, appearance, personality and all; Diana sighed. 'how can they match ugly with wild.' she thought, before realising she just refer to herself as ugly.

She walked to the other papers which outlined the bets placed. Everything was printed out on the paper, where she saw the shocking sight ever.

She saw her name at the top with the highest bet. Nathan and Aroma name stared at her, along with the ridiculous amount they bet on her to win, just as she predicted for herself, even though it's just a wish.

'What the hell were those two thinking?' She asked in her head as her eyes looked like they could pop out from their socket at any moment from then. "F*ck!" she cursed, "I need to win." She added.

"Your wish." She heard someone said from behind her.

Turning around; she saw a brunette with a sharp gaze staring at her, with a mocking expression. She recalled her face immediately and also remember she's the girl called wild.
