Stalled
These nights, I go to the small training ground with Fanny and Bennet for intensive training in free fighting, but I neglected my good friend Herty, but Herty didn't care, because she knew my physical fitness too well, and knew that I was indeed not an ordinary weakness, only by studying and practicing weekdays would not fall behind, and she was not alone, but with Zhou Qing, Allen, Doug and other classmates hanging around, laughing and playing. Not only that, but I could tell from her words and expressions that she seemed to have a crush on her, and although she didn't say it directly, it was better not to interfere with her. Besides, her training performance is not bad, always hovering within the top ten, which is a thousand times better than those of us who lag behind. Today is the 10th day of the kickboxing duets training, and most of us freshmen are still relatively new to the actual combat of the fighting a few days ago, but as the training has deepened, we have all made some substantial progress.
Today's training is about to start as scheduled. After we gathered, I saw Amanda and Jessie and the others walking towards us, how could there be General Xia Zuo in this group of people?! I and the rest of the team were a little surprised.
After they stood still, General Xia Zuo took the lead in speaking. He said with a smile: "Personally, I am a great admirer of the army's free fighting skills, and of course, the leaders of the Fearless Sect also appreciate the warriors who possess this skill. From today onwards, I will come to inspect your martial arts training from time to time, hoping to unearth some talents with this talent, and at the same time, I hope that you will not despise this sport, and form a set of your own unique exercises. โ
"Yes!" The team members responded loudly, and the team was immediately filled with an urge to try.
Then Jiexi solemnly announced: "Today we will have the first two-man kickboxing practice here, please remove all the sandbags here to make room for the competition." After that, everyone came to me to draw lots to determine the order of the actual competition. โ
As soon as Jiexi's words ended, everyone began to take action, spontaneously dragging large and heavy sandbags to the corner of the wall in groups of two, and in this way, a large square of open space with a length and width of more than 30 square meters was cleared in a short time.
Amanda and Jess also brought a table and a few stools from not far away and placed them on the north side of the clearing, thus simply setting up a small observation deck. And we, the freshmen who had cleaned up the scene, gathered around the perimeter to prepare for the game.
The huge scene was unusually quiet, and everyone was silent, waiting for the lottery ceremony to be held in a while. I was so nervous that I could hear my heart pounding, and a sense of foreboding crept up in my mind.
Jessie prepared the big box for the lottery, so we lined up and walked to the big box on the table in front of her to draw the paper sticks that represented the order of the numbers. After getting the paper stick, everyone's expressions were different, some were smiling, which showed that his ranking should be lower, while some people were more nervous, this is really an obvious answer, it can only show that his ranking must be very high.
It was my turn to draw lots, and I knew that there was absolutely nothing technical about what was going on, just a trick of fate, but even so, my left hand was still shaking irrepressibly. I finally took out a piece of paper, unfolded it and looked at it, oh, the original nervous heart can finally be put back in my stomach, and I am ranked 26th, which is quite low!
I was still complacent, trying to tell the good news to Hetty behind me, but I was surprised to find that she was gone. I turned my head and saw her stop not far away. At this moment, she was holding a paper stick in her hand and froze in place, as if she had been petrified!
My first hunch was extremely bad, and I was sure that she was drawing a "lottery"!
I ran over and took the damn paper slip out of her palm to look at it, and sure enough, it was indeed too "lucky", and the upright one was entrenched on the paper like a funny leprechaun playing a prank. It was really bad luck to win the first place!! At this point, I just wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't find any proper words.
Hetty was nervous, and I wasn't any better. Now there is a glimmer of hope in front of us, and that is the second person in the draw rankings, that is, the person who played with Hetty, must not be too strong!
Immediately after that, Jiexi's voice was like thunder, "The first one to play is ------ Hety." โ
There was no way to reverse the situation, so I had to pat Hetty on the shoulder and encourage her, "Come on!! And Hetty could only walk slowly to the center of the field.
Then it was time to announce the second player on the field, and I listened with bated breath. But before Jessie could pronounce the name of the second person, a rugged woman ran to the center of the arena.
This person is none other than the famous Alva. If anyone on the team doesn't know her, that's weird! Because she's so dazzling. Although she always refers to herself as a woman, she is more manly than a man except for the fact that she has to squat to urinate. In fact, if you want me to say, she is a tall, fat, strong, tiger-backed man!
Alva never played with women in training, but she was unexpectedly drawn against a female team member in the competition! Now I don't expect Hetty to win the match, I just hope she doesn't get beaten badly.
Standing in the center of the circle, Alva and Hetty are very different in size. Alva is stocky and heavy, like a fat-headed, big-eared sumo wrestler, while Hetty is light and slender more like a graceful dancer. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a heavyweight opponent, even Alva knows it, you can see that her face is full of triumphant smirks.
Despite the obvious outcome, the game had to go ahead as scheduled, and all the good Samaritans sweated for Herty.
The bell of the game was more like a wailing death knell, and now that there was no way back, Hetie suppressed the fear and fear that kept churning in her heart, and set up a posture to face it. She stroked the shredded hair that was slightly covering her eyes, exhaled softly, and stared at the other party with deliberate contempt. And Alva was not to be outdone, the corners of her eyes were full of mockery. At this moment, both of them stared at each other intently, clenched their fists, and slowly moved in circles, and those two pairs of eyes also glowed with more agile and flexible characteristics at the moment, so as to observe the opponent's every move more accurately, looking for whether the opponent has a loophole that is not easy to detect.
My eyes were on them, too, silently praying that Hetty would be able to improvise.
Time seemed to have stood still, but in an instant, Alva suddenly attacked. She threw a punch into Hetty's pretty face, and Hetty dodged the blow with her head down and landed a left hook that hit Alva in the abdomen, who staggered back a few steps.
But Alva didn't stop at all, she stopped backing and swooped forward, like a tiger, and struck at Hetty's head again, and Hetty turned around and dodged her fist. Alva swept another kick, and Hetty grabbed her thigh and slammed it down, forcing her to fall on all fours on her back.
"Ah, that's good!" I silently admired them in my heart, but my eyes were still fixed on both of them.
Alva got up, and this time she didn't make a move, but spat to the side, but the wolf-like eyes didn't let Hetty go, and the cold look that seeped through them seemed to be about to kill. Hetty took the opportunity to adjust her breathing, and I noticed that her wheezing was getting a little louder.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and for a moment the time seemed to stand still, but the next second, Alva pounced like a beast that had broken free, and slammed her fist into Hetty's abdomen, and Hetty carefully took it. Alva saw that the fist that hit the abdomen was about to fail, so she took advantage of the situation and shook it to the head, and then it was too late for Hetty to dodge, although she dodged her head to the right, but she was still hit hard, so Hetty fell straight to the ground, but Alva didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, she took advantage of the victory to pursue, pressed Hetty with her heavy body, and brutally continued to swing her fist vigorously, smashing it fiercely at Hetty. Hetty swung her arms wildly, trying to stop her, but Alva was reckless, punching Hetty's nose, mouth, chin, shoulders and chest, Hetty was already powerless, she used the last little strength to overturn Alva who was pressed on her body, and then turned over with difficulty, and fell to the ground with her back up. She coughed and gasped, blood dripping from her nose that slowly merged with the blood spilling from her lips.
The limelight reversed sharply, but it was also a logical consequence, and Heti had already lost badly in this game. I looked at her distressedly, waiting for her to end.
Alva had already crawled to her feet, smirking contemptuously, fiddling with her knuckles proudly.
Hetty was completely defeated, and the situation was already very clear, but just as Jiexi was about to announce the result of the battle, General Xia Zuo pulled the microphone over and shouted unsatisfied: "Keep fighting." โ
Isn't it already stopped, why do you have to continue fighting?! We all looked at the observation deck in amazement.
Alva also looked at the observation deck not far away in a daze, if she really wanted to fight again, she didn't care, but Hetty was different, it could be seen that she was physically and even mentally unable to cope.
At this time, everyone's attention stayed on Hetty's body. Hetty knelt up slightly, wiped the blood oozing from her nose, but made her mouth even more bloody, and she shouted hoarsely, "I admit defeat!" I throw in the towel! โ
"You throw in the towel?!" General Xia Zuo slowly stood up, and he left the observation deck and walked towards the competition venue. He grinned mockingly as he walked, "Did God make you throw in the towel, or did the imps in the underground make you throw in the towel?!" โ
This sentence turned Hetty's consciousness back a bit, and she did her best to stand up and say loudly, "I have the right to admit defeat." This is the typical honest language of the unswerving faction, but it is very unwise to say it in front of General Xia Zuo at this time.
Her next words finally retracted a bit of an unsettling tone, "My martial arts training is too lacking, and I'll work it in the future." Next ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Although she hadn't finished her words yet, General Xia Zuo was already impatient to listen, he waved his hand, and said with a sneer: "Fighting, it's the last sprint in the battle, and you're still thinking about the next time, are you going to fight those imps who have been sleeping underground for five thousand years?!" โ
"But it's just a fight exercise of the same faction!" Hetty muttered quietly.
Maybe Hetty doesn't say this, and there is still some room for redemption. But now it's too late.
Xia Zuo's face suddenly changed from gloomy to cold, "Oh, it's not necessarily! He walked up to Hetty's side, grabbed Hetty's left hand, and dragged Hetty towards the door.
Amanda and Jiexi immediately ran over when they saw this, they wanted to grab General Xia Zuo, but they were broken free by General Xia Zuo's backhand.
Jiexi sneered: "Forget it, after all, it's still a child!" โ
However, General Xia Zuo was unusually calm, his expression was really intimidating, and he shouted viciously as he walked: "I feel that I have an obligation to let this little child see real martial arts, and let her also experience the feeling of life on the battlefield." โ
