Luis didn't put much thought into everything George told him, if there were people who frightened him, George wasn't one of them after all he did beat him in an unfair fight as a Demi-Angel and now that he was an Angel with new tricks up his sleeves, George wouldn't stand a chance.
"Give it up for Rodney for his third victory tonight." The kid in the middle who was acting as the referee said as the students burst into cheers.
"Our champion does not want to step down yet so who else is going to try and beat him?"
A boy was about to raise his hand when two hands came out from nowhere and dragged him down, immediately after that another boy walked into the ring and gave the referee a piece of paper.
"Since no one wants to step up there will be a random selection and whoever that gets picked must fight him." The boy acting as the referee said.
"Random selection?" One of the boys in the crowd said.
"When did that become a thing?"
"I haven't heard of this before."
"The selection will be done by the spotlight."
A white spotlight shone from above, it kept moving around the room until it finally fell on Luis.
"Looks like the spotlight has made a decision." The referee said.
All eyes immediately turned to Luis who the spotlight was still shining on.
"How can this be possible?"
"He's only a level three higher and they want him to fight someone who's level six."
There were critical reactions from the students as the first place their eyes went was Luis' watch.
"I don't want to fight," Luis said with a calm tone.
"What are you doing bro, these guys will beat you up." Ace whispered to him
"You can't say that, the spotlight has chosen you and you must fight."
"Really?" Luis said.
"Yeah, or these guys will make you."
The crowd cleared the way as two huge people made their way to where Luis was standing, these guys looked nothing like normal students and if it weren't for the uniforms they were putting you wouldn't believe they were students.
Luis was sure he would be able to take both of them out as he looked at their watches which displayed the number five with a h close it but doing that here would stir up a commotion and he didn't want that.
"Fine, I'll fight him," Luis said as he slowly walked to the ring.
The strangest thing about this place was that sixty percent of the students here were all third-year students, the rest were second-year students while the three roommates were the only first-year students here.
Being the only first-year students here meant that nobody knew exactly who they were except for George who had gotten into a scuffle with him once as he believed and had gotten the news of all the trouble he has been causing him so far.
'Nice move George.' Luis thought as he stepped into the ring.
Rodney was a muscular student, noticing that was clear since he had his shirt off and comparing between him and Luis everyone was already putting their money on Rodney except for someone.
"I'm putting my money on the level three student," Dylan said as he dropped two silver coins on the betting booth.
"What makes you so sure he will win that you're betting with the last of your funds?" The student inside the booth asked.
"When you know the difference between someone who's human and someone who's not, you'll know," Dylan said.
The student couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle as he grabbed the two silver coins.
"Don't even bother coming back for these, I gave you the chance to rethink and you screwed up." He said as he dropped the coin into the metallic container below inside the booth.
"Ready on the left?" The referee asked, pointing towards Rodney who responded with a thumbs up.
"Ready on the right?"
"No," Luis said.
"What?"
"First I need to know the rules," Luis said.
"No abilities or weapons, those are the rules." The referee said.
"Ok, I'm ready now," Luis said.
"Let the fight begin." The boy said quickly climbing out of the ring.
Being the only class that was taught martial arts, Luis knew he was at advantage in a fight where abilities and weapons weren't allowed.
Rodney was the first to charge in with a flying punch which Luis found to be too slow and simply stepped out of the way causing Rodney to run into the rope.
"Where did you go?" Ace asked after spotting Dylan returning from the crowd.
"I went to the betting booth," Dylan said.
"And you better on who?" Ace asked.
"Luis of course."
"Well let's just hope he wins." Ace said as he turned his gaze back to the ring.
Rodney was fuming with anger after missing that attack and quickly charged in again but this time with his head which was quite easy for Luis to avoid by sliding in between his feet.
Sliding under his feet put Rodney in a vulnerable position as the Angel kicked both of his legs; he would have fallen flat on his face if his face hadn't gotten caught on the rope instead.
A loud gasp was heard from all those who were supporting Rodney and there were cheers coming from those who were happy to see someone hurt Rodney in some way.
"You bastard!" Rodney yelled as he quickly got up, his face had gone red from roughly hitting that rope.
With his rage he charged in at the Angel, sending multiple blows at him all at once but the Angel was calmly avoiding each blow as he kept stepping back slowly.
"The guy with the watch displaying level six is supposed to have this easy but instead it's the other way round." Someone in the crowd commented.
When Luis saw that he was about to hit the rope he decided to try a punch of his own, an accurate punch received on the face sent Rodney staggering backward.
His nose had gone red now and looked like it was about to start bleeding.
"You have crossed the line," Rodney said with his teeth gritted as he slammed his fist on the ring's floor.
Luis didn't quite understand the reason for that until an invisible force had lifted him and slammed him to the floor.
"I thought abilities aren't allowed." Ace complained from where he was standing.
"He should be careful before Luis unleashes his abilities on him," Dylan said.
"He won't." Ace said.
The referee was about to say something due to the complaints from the crowd when he received a piece of note from the same boy who had given him the first one.
"At this point of the fight, anything goes." He said after reading the note.
There were murmurs among the crowds as rules being changed like this didn't sound fair but there were still others who liked it because now it seemed like Rodney was getting back on his feet again.
He slammed his fist on the ground again and this time Luis flew and crashed on the rope.
Rodney didn't even give him time to recover as he ran towards him ready to do his signature flying punch but this time there were gasps among the crowd of students as his soul weapon which appeared to be fist blades appeared on his fist.
Luis hadn't even recovered from the last hit when he felt a stinging pain in his thigh.
"Nooooo!!!" Dylan screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!" Luis screamed in pain as he shook his head.
"You thought you could humiliate me," Rodney said. "Well here's the prize for trying."
He was about to stab the other blade into Luis' other thigh when the Angel grabbed hold of the blade, the blade was cutting his palm but he didn't care.
"You want to fight dirty," Luis said with gritted teeth. "Let's fight dirty."
There was a shocking expression on Rodney's face as he couldn't pull the blades away from Luis, the blades were beginning to get hot and their sudden color change to red was proof of that.
Rodney had no choice but to pull his hands away from the grapplings attaching the blade to his fist but before he could step back Luis grabbed him by his collar and quickly slammed his hands on his chest.

The slamming was followed by a kick from his right leg which sent Rodney flying out of the ring and crashing in the middle of the crowd.
