"Tsk. I hate those other pussies." Xavier and Atar look at the voice near them, it is a massive kid, who was definitely older than them, number 5. The two boys immediately stand up and get in their stances, "Ugh, can we not just rest?" Atar asks, "No, it's insane that you two are rated higher than me! I'll prove that I can beat you in a fight right now!" 5 charges forward and tries to grab.

Xavier and Atar dodge the grab, "Please! Why do you have to kill us!?" Xavier asks, "So 17 gives me lessons, and to prove that I'm stronger!" 5 punches Atar, who is flung into the wall, 5 doesn't wait any longer, and he punches Atar's stomach. Atar coughs up blood, but manages to kick 5 off of himself.

"FUCK YOU!" 5 screams out, "0 my ass! I deserve that title!" Xavier slide tackles 5 causing the giant kid to fall over. "Get him Atar!" Atar jumps on 5's head. "GET OFF ME!" 5 punches Atar off of himself. "YOU-!" 5 Goes for a right jab at Atar.

"Get off them"

A weird transparent ball of blue energy shoots through the air, and cleaves 5s arm clean off. "AHH! WHAT THE FUCK!?" Xavier and Atar look to see none other than number 2 Shijima Teika standing there. Teika jumps forward and, with his fist covered in blue energy, punches 5. A crater forms below 5 and his head and upper torso explode.

"5 has been eliminated."

"Teika…" Teika takes his fist out of the pool of blood, and wipes the blood on his fist on his shirt. "What was that!?" Xavier asks, "It's Heat, it's what did me in in that combat class." Atar chimes in. "0s right, I was put into a special training centre after I unlocked it in my fight. I was there with 42." Teika informs. Xavier thinks for a second, "How do you unlock Heat?" "I don't know, it just felt like my opponent was going to kill me and I just wanted to kill him desperately."

"Sorry for running away earlier!" 23 walks up, "DAMN YOU!" Atar shouts, "I need to inform you that 17 has been put in 'Special Training' for some reason, so you should be in the clear for a day or two." The 3 top boys sit there in shock, this means that 17 has unlocked Heat.

They stare at each other, each one thinking about what to do. "Well 2 you're numbers higher so you should be able to beat him, right?" Atar questions, "Maybe, but should we bet on that?" silence returns as they continue thinking.

"What's the problem guys?" 23 asks. "Basically, 17 has unlocked that Heat ability wayy earlier than everyone else." "Is that bad?" "Very, at least for us, he seems to be having a tantrum that we basically drew in our fight." Xavier squats down and starts fidgeting with a rock.

"Couldn't you just teach us 2?" Atar asks, "I could give you hints, but the problem is, I completely forget how I unlocked it, I just know how to manifest it now." "Still though this is our best bet. How long were you in special training, just one day, right?" "Yes." "Then we have a day."
