Chapter 111 - I'm getting there!

Nathan raised his brow as Diana charge at him with an enraged expression. She began throwing punches at him and trying to get closer.

Nathan found himself laughing out loud as he evade her attacks, yet Diana didn't give up. Aroma kept shaking her head, while the audience remained silent and kept looking at the scene in disbelieving.

Seeing her not giving up and charging at him non stop; Nathan reach out his hand and get a hold of her forehead, applying pressure on both sides of her temple to make her stop.

Diana felt her vision go blurry instantly. A headache assaulted her, making her feel weak. She reached her hands up to pull Nathan's hand away, but it didn't budge.

She dipped her fingernail into his hand, making blood sip from it, yet Nathan held her still, chuckling at her stupidity. If it were one of the seniors, she would have been knocked out by now.

The fact that she came at him alone is disqualification in the tournament, but he will make an exception for her.

Not willing to give up, mostly because Nathan kept chuckling at her struggle, and feeling her whole being weakening; she harnessed all the energy left inside her directly into her leg and throw a kick at Nathan's groin.

Already detected her next move; Nathan sighed and reach out his leg to take the kick. Diana let out a screech as their leg met.

Nathan released her head as soon as he detected that she has learnt her lessons. Two men entered the ring and carried her out, while she still felt her leg numb from the kick. She didn't struggle much, as she was being carried away, as her head functions seems to be reorganizing themselves after Nathan released it.

Aroma's hand remained at her temple all through the show. She just couldn't believe Diana's gut. She's so daring and stupid.

Nathan gestured for one of the organizers to come and spoke into his ear. The guy left immediately and soon asked for Diana to be released.

Seeing her being settled down by the guys taking her away; Aroma heaved a sigh of relief and walked towards her. At least she's not disqualified and punished.

The audience still remained silent. They still couldn't believe something like that just happened. But it actually did.

Aroma was scolding Diana at a corner, while the host continued the show. Everyone returned back to their senses and soon, Nathan name was written down as a winner. The people incharge of the bets began sorting the payout immediately. The lucky ones got their money deposited into their accounts before the next match even started.

Diana had her eyes staring at her feet as Aroma screamed at her, and told her to learn how to follow instructions in her life, instead of just acting foolishly. If she didn't manage to take Nathan down, she wondered what gave her the courage that she could.

Acting out of repulse would only make her get hurt here. Diana kept nodding her head repeatedly, but was burning with rage inside her. It hurts her feelings that she didn't manage to deliver a successful hit on Nathan, she want to punch his face really bad.

In between their conversation, the next contestants were already fighting each other, while cheering and exclamations filled the entire place.

Diana returned back to her spot among the others and kept watching the fights with an expressionless face. Her eyes occasionally darting towards where Nathan stood, smiling as he watched the fight. She wanted to rip the smile off at all costs, but she knew it was a wish that can never come true.

Most of the Seniors fell under endurance. Only four of them won, including Boyle.

All their handsome features got messed up within hours, yet they look nonchalant like it's nothing.

There was a short break after the Seniors were done, while the trainees that will be participating were instructed to get ready and go change into their fighting outfit.

The seniors also left to tend to their wounds and eat, as it's already evening and the tournament continues until everyone is done.

After the 30 minutes break, Diana walked into the Hall with Aroma, dressed in a body hug sleeveless black jumpsuit, that reached down to her knees area.

That's the outfit for females, while the male had on the same multi colour plant as the seniors. Their well built upper body out in the open, but Diana isn't in the mood to appreciate abs right now, not that it's as hot as the senior's anyway.

She nodded her head slightly as Aroma patted her shoulder and left to join the other seniors.

The fight was intense. Zika won in one go, while Beast fell under endurance, her wound being tended to by her groups, while her teacher still kept giving her instructions on what to do, as if her state didn't matter.

Those were the people Diana cared about among the trainees as they slept in the same room every night. After Zika was out and Beast isn't gonna be joining for a while till another 2 fell under endurance, which will immediately be grouped as their next opponent; Diana felt her nerves relaxed and kept watching the fight unfold, learning from their fight as instructed, and not getting swayed by their shouting and all.

It's finally Diana's turn. Immediately her name was called; her adrenaline rushed at an increasing rate. She took a deep breath and look towards Aroma's direction, who nodded at her in response, with an encouraging expression.

Her nerves relaxed after their facial interactions. She swallowed hard on her saliva and entered the ring, along with Wild. The crowd cheered for them as per usual.

Aroma gaze glued on the duo, while Nathan had a serious expression on his face, totally different from when the others were fighting. One hand covering his mouth, while the other folded across his chest.

Diana's eyes darted towards Aroma again and again and kept getting the same encouraging expression and an assuring nod.

Immediately the host left the ring, Diana focus entirely at the girl in front of her. Immediately the sound of the timer was heard; Wild held up her fist above her mouth, staring directly at Diana, who remained the same, not showing any fighting stance yet.

Just as Aroma taught her, she didn't rush and studied Wild's movement, studying the place she left unprotected and scheming in her head.

Wild took quick steps towards her and throw a punch at her, which Diana evade and stepped back, stunned at the force that followed the punch.

She quickly reached her fist up in shielding, as Wild rushed her, throwing punches at her from different angles, which Diana received with her arms that was shielding the spots that could weakened her, while she endure the blows received at the other areas.

Nathan squeezed his mouth with his hand out of reflex, while Aroma bit down at her lower lips.

Within the few hits Diana intentionally took, she discovered Wild's attack moves and suddenly pushed her with all her might, as she was cornered at an angle in the ring, Wild hovering above her, kicking her with her knee, which Diana kept receiving with her arms that still remained as a shield in front of her, while she kept hitting Diana's back with her elbow, since she's facing down at where she was cornered at.

The sudden push took Wild by surprise. She staggered back and quickly regained her composure. Her eyes met with Diana darkened gaze, which looked void of emotions and decided to take Diana out once and for all.

Regaining her composure, Diana make her move, she throws her left fist at Wild tummy in an uppercut form, but immediately the girl reached down her arm that was shielding her to block the attack; in a flash, Diana throw a punch at her neckline which was left open with all her might.

As Aroma thought her, one strong punch is better than 10 useless ones.

Wild teacher eyes darkened, while Nathan let down his hand that was squeezing his mouth and Aroma pursed her lips and didn't blink as her gaze still remained glued on the two of them.

Wild swallowed hard, as she stood up on her feet and twisted her neck that felt numb from the impact of the blow. She went rampage immediately and charged at Diana, who has learned a few of her moves and kept evading it while allowing herself to receive the ones at the areas that wouldn't weaken her.

Each of her own blows kept leaving a deep impact, as she's not just rushing her and being calculative as she was thought, while Wild kept trying to break her arm and legs at every chance she got.

The blows aren't as strong as the ones she received from Aroma, since she kept protecting her weak point at all cost.

45 minutes has passed and both are still fighting. Diana with bleeding lips and swollen eyes, while Wild could barely open both eyes that has gotten a good hits from Diana.

Wild eyes darted toward her teacher's direction and saw the enraged expression on his face and dashed toward Diana, copying her style; she pretending to wanting to throw a punch and immediately throw a kick at her, making her entire being crashed on the ground.

Seeing her rushed towards her while she's still on the floor; Diana recalled the fight scene she witnessed from the girls from Boyle's class, where the girl that was thrown onto the floor suddenly make a comeback by twisting her body on the floor and sweeping the other girl off her balance.

Diana did the same immediately Wild got near her, and quickly move on top of her at a frightening speed, pressure her knee into her stomach with half her strength and began rushing punches into her face.

Despite this Wild still held up both her hands towards Diana's neck and tried to choke her. Seeing that she isn't going down; Diana recalled Nathan's move on her a while ago.

She knew she can't use one palm like him and quickly reach both hands to both sides of Wild's temple and apply pressure hard, making Wild's hand on her neck weakened immediately.

Before Wild could react, Diana, with full force; headbutt her in the face, making Wild lose consciousness immediately, while blood sipped out from her nose and mouth.

"Yes!" Nathan and Aroma exclaimed at the same time.

The counter stopped at 52 minute. There wasn't any cheering as per usual, as everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Her roommates were the first to regain their sanity and cheered while the other joined i., except the people from Wild's class.

It was when the host came inside the ring and announced that it's a 'win' that Diana finally believed she won.

She breathes heavily and tried to get up on her feet as a smile blossomed on her face. She quickly look towards Aroma's direction and saw the big smile on her face.

She felt her heart got heavy as she stared at Aroma proud face and tears find their ways out of her eyes. 'I'm getting there.' she said in her heart and chuckled as the host lifted her left hand up, and the cheering became louder.
