Alex was currently standing in the front of the classroom with a piece of paper in his hand while everyone else was sat down on chairs. Alex was scratching his head as if he was struggling with what to do.
"To be honest, I was kind of hoping that everyone would be here today," Alex said as he put the sheet down on the table in front of him. "This here is information on our opponent next week for the VSW tournament."
Alex kept stopping between his speeches as if he was struggling to make a decision, until finally.
"Alright, I guess you guys can go home and rest for the day, after all, it was only yesterday we had the match. We'll try to regroup tomorrow with Dan and go through this then."
A big smile appeared on Ashley's face. "Actually, it's probably for the best, I'm pretty worn out for the day, I've been getting questions non stop."
"Looks like you're the ace of our team," Alex said.
Ashley quickly blushed and put her head down. Although she had been hearing nice things all day, it was weird to hear it from Alex the club leader.
The group then parted ways as they each went to do their own thing, on their day of rest.

Meanwhile, Dan was currently in the abandoned warehouse on the south side of town. A crowd of 200 people plus had gathered inside and had formed their own little ring. The crowd was full of delinquents and gang members but there was also the odd man in a suit mixed in as well.
The crowd was bigger than usual tonight, as there was a special event that had been announced by the gang Noir.
A man with a black wolf tattoo on his shoulder was currently going through the crowd collecting betting money.
Once the money had been handed over to Kyle, Noir's leader. The man quickly went back into the centre of the ring.
"Ladies and gentleman, finally the match you have been waiting for, we have a fan favourite that hasn't been seen in the ring for a long time, you all know him as the little black cub!"
Dan then entered the ring from the crowd with his shirt off. His rock-hard abs and muscles from years of playing top-level sports were on full display. With only his hands wrapped up by cloth to give his hands as little protection as possible while giving out the most damage.
As soon as Dan had entered the ring, he had been greeted with wolf whistles and howling of all sorts from the crowd. Many of the women were just imagining what they could do with him if they got their hands-on Dan.
"I haven't seen him before, who's the pretty boy?" A girl asked from the crowd.
"Oh, right you've only been watching these events for a month or so now. That kid is the younger brother of the leader of Noir. He had his first fight here when he was only 12 years old."
"That's crazy, they made a kid fight in these things."
"What's even crazier was the kid, back then it seemed like the kid would do anything to win. Biting the other contestants, hitting them in their week spots. He had gained quite a following with the crowd."
"So, what happened then?"
"Of course, a kid is just a kid after all. Apparently, some big shot from the Ruman family paid a lot of money to see the kid go up against a real opponent. A full-on Professional fighter. It was clearly a fight just for show. The kid was good but at the end of the day, he was only a kid. On the day of the fight, he never showed up again until today that is."
Although many of the contestants didn't know that Dan was still a kid in school. His body had grown quicker than other boys his age. And his body was defiantly not that of a regular fifteen-year-old. Many would be shocked if they found out the current boy, they were looking at was still in school.
"And his opponent today, will be the up and coming Green frog. He jumps he leaps, currently undefeated with 4 wins under his battle, please welcome him to the stage."
The green frog entered the stage with a giant green mohawk on his head, as he did the crowd started to boo. The green frog was an unpopular fighter as he often licked his opponents while fighting them and spitting on them after already winning the fight.
The crowd was more excited to see how much the little black cub had improved.
"Fight!"
As soon as the man said that, he stepped back into the crowd of people.
The green frog then leapt with his arms wide open trying to grab his opponent. Dan had recently been playing the game a lot in his spare time and although he didn't win in his games, he hardly ever lost in a one on one fight.
"Too slow."
Dan had seen many different players fight and he paid special attention to Ashley in their game against Eton. He was obsessed with her speed with the sword and realised that he needed to be just as fast if not faster if he was going to use his fist in a sword fight.
As the Green frog went for a grab, Dan ducked down avoiding the grab and using the power in his legs sprung up with an uppercut. His fist made an impact in the perfect place, hitting directly on the chin.
The green frog's eyes were already spinning, but Dan wasn't finished yet, he didn't want to give the green frog a chance to recover and hit him with a right fist before his feet could even land on the ground.
The crowd was silenced for a few seconds, then everyone burst into cheers. Dan went over to the crowd where a man was currently holding his shirt. He took it off the man and quickly put it on.
Kyle then walked over towards Dan.
"Impressive looks like you have only gotten better." Kyle then handed Dan a pile of cash tied up with an elastic band. "Your winnings of course."
Dan took the money and started to walk away.
"Before you go," Kyle said. "I've received another offer from the Ruman family, you can't run away from this one Dan."
Dan gave a thumbs-up as he continued to walk away.
