397 Shattered Expectations Once Again
With Mirinda out of the competition now it was down to only two participants, Mason and Luis.
After the whole commotion coming from the way Mirinda had attacked Luis and stabbed him had been settled it was now time to continue the contest but before that, the sergeant wanted to know if Luis could continue after that nasty stab on his shoulder.
"Are you sure you can continue?" The sergeant asked him for the second time.
Luis didn't reply as he stared off toward Mason and as soon as the two made eye contact, he returned his gaze to the sergeant.
"Yeah, I'm sure." He said with a nod.
"You know if you fail because of your shoulder I won't be able to do anything about it, I can tell your teachers to bring on a replacement for you." The sergeant said.
"No, I can continue," Luis said, shaking his head.
The sergeant stared at him for a while before he turned and began to walk back to the disc-shooting machine.
"Luis Miles has stated that he can continue, he has a very serious injury on his shoulder but he's certain he can continue. I would have asked for a replacement to be brought on but he cannot be taken out of the competition against his will." The sergeant. "If he fails in this level because of his injury, that would mean the end of the competition for Crockel academy."
"Who is that boy?" Jack leaned closer to Kelvin to ask.
"My student," Kelvin answered.
"I mean which family is he from? I don't remember any popular family with the name Miles." Jack said.
"I don't think he's from any of those families," Kelvin said with his gaze still on the pitch.
"Gotten attacked twice, has a wound on his shoulder, and still wants to continue, he's brave," Mia commented.
"I call it naivety and foolishness," Jackson said with both of his hands joined together.
With the level five round about to resume, Ace and Dylan had returned to their seats.
"It took you that long to find him," Chloe said.
"Did I miss anything?" Ace asked.
"Yeah, all the action," Chloe said.
"Action?"
"Yeah, Luis got attacked twice, first by something invisible that came from nowhere and almost hit, and just a few minutes ago by the girl from my academy." Chloe disclosed.
"Mirinda?"
"Yeah, you memorized her name."
"I didn't memorize her name, the sergeant called their names before the competition began and I just have a good memory." Ace said, tapping his forehead.
"You wish?" Chloe said. "I'm guessing these attacks have something to do with the person who's trying to hurt slash kill him."
"It has to be, why would she just attack him like that, they don't even know each other?" Ace said.
"She didn't just attack him, she stabbed him on his shoulder."
"Waoooh, that is definitely the doing of this mind controller." Ace said.
"My thoughts too, but I'm surprised that he still wants to continue the competition after that deep stab," Chloe said.
"That's crazy." Ace said, feigning a shocked expression on his face.
Dylan had not said anything since he returned, well that didn't make any difference for Tania given the fact that he has been that way since they arrived at the stadium.
"Hey, I don't want you to feel like I'm prying but you were gone for a way longer time than the others." She said expecting a response from him but there was nothing. "Where did you go?"
There was still no reaction from Dylan after she had asked that question and just before she could say anything else, he slowly turned his gaze to her.
"What would it benefit you if I told you?"
"Oh," Tania said before slowly turning her gaze away from him.
She didn't exactly like the tone he had used in asking that question and judging by the look on his face, she knew he didn't want to say anything.
Mason didn't seem to be struggling as much as Mirinda did in this level, there were no flashy skills being displayed by him all he was doing was basically avoiding the discs without much jumping.
The last four discs came flying toward him and all he did was move his body to avoid all four of them, he didn't even shift from where he was standing.
"He's through to level six." The sergeant said as soon as the light on the edges of the disc lit up.
He was loudly applauded by the students from Phoenix academy especially as he slowly stepped down from the disc.
"I think this marks the end of the journey for your friend," Mike said.
"I don't think so," Ella said, shaking her head.
"Really," Mike said with a chuckle. "I know he's been doing great so far but he has a serious wound in his shoulder and this level doesn't look easy."
"I know but he'll still cruise through it," Ella said.
"You say that as if you're absolutely certain."
"Because I am absolutely certain."
Mike stared at his little sister for a while with a strange expression on his face before returning his gaze to the pitch.
"Let's watch and see." He muttered.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the stadium expected Luis to crash out once again, he would have had more people believing he could make it past the level if they hadn't seen him get stabbed in the shoulder.
"Twenty seconds Luis." The sergeant said before closing, clicking the start button.
'Remember Luis.'
'I know, make it believable.' Luis cut her short to help her finish what she wanted to say.
Twenty seconds had been surpassed now as four discs came flying toward him at the same time with full level five-speed.
His golden fortification was still active so dodging the discs wasn't going to be hard for him, but he had to make it believable.
Throughout the level, the Angel feigned scenes of struggling and falling and had almost gotten hit on several occasions but with his speed, he was able to get out of the risky situations he was putting himself in.
The few Crockel academy students who were supporting the Angel seemed to be at the edge of their seats any time he did something like that while the ones who were expecting him to get him any time soon were quite surprised by how he was finding his way out of those situations.
The Angel continued like that until he was now down to the last four discs.
The discs were all shot out one after the other with the only way of avoiding all of them being to either roll flat on the floor or spin through the middle but both options were a bit risky as there was a chance that he could touch the tip of any of the discs.
The slide seemed to be complicated for him so he went for the spin right through the middle.
He sprang up and spun his body to dive through the middle before crashing on the floor for the lights around the disc to light up green.
"He's through to level six." The sergeant said with a surprised tone to his voice.
"He did it," Mike muttered with a stunned look on his face.
"Told you so," Ella said, turning her gaze to him.
They couldn't believe it but the Angel had just shattered their expectations once again.
"What family is that boy from?" Chris inquired.
"His last name is Miles I guess," Mia said.
"Haven't heard of them," Chris said, shaking his head.
"Me too." She said before turning her gaze back to the pitch.
'There's something special about that kid, his family isn't established as a top family, if I can get him on my side he will be a very special asset.' Mia thought and she wasn't the only one with that specific thought in mind.
