Natasha was surprised and at the same time pissed off that Tania had won the fight, as soon as Craig had dropped to the floor after the yank from Tania she had walked to a part of the room where Todd wouldn't spot her.
The contest with students stepping up, getting eliminated, and advancing to the next round.
"The next round will be between Hayley Williams and Natasha Rowland."
An evil smile appeared on Natasha's face as she slowly made her way to the middle.
"Right now I'm just feeling sorry for Hayley." One of the boys in the room said to his friend.
"Why? She's a good fighter."
"Yeah, but the other girl is crazy."
The two contestants stared at each other from each end but Natasha wasn't really looking at Hayley, she was looking at the person behind her.
She was looking at Tania and immediately after Tania's eyes met with hers she smirked.
The signal to begin was given by Madam Nelly as Hayley began with a slow approach, moving close to her without going out of her axis.
"We don't have to do that," Natasha said as she shifted a little bit.
"Huh?" Hayley said after she stopped moving.
"Exactly," Natasha said with a smirk as she quickly ran towards her and with a sliding kind she wasn't expecting sent her tumbling on the floor.
Hayley quickly got up and tried to punch Natasha while she was still trying to get up but that was a mistake as Natasha avoided it and yanked her forward.
Hayley kept staggering until she fell flat on her face but it didn't take her long to get up again but just as she turned to face Natasha she was already upon her.
Natasha ran towards her and with a little jump wrapped her legs around Hayley's neck and pulled her down.
"That was cruel." One of the students said after seeing that Hayley had fallen on her face.
Hayley groaned as she rolled away from Natasha, it didn't look like she was going to be getting up soon.
"I thought I've told you to be careful when fighting your fellow students." Madam Nelly said after stepping up in the middle.
"I didn't even do anything too harsh to her," Natasha said with her usual smile as she got up from the floor.
Madam Nelly wanted to say something but after seeing the look on Natasha's face she sighed it off.
"I just hope you get matched with your brother next." She said as she walked away from her.
"I wouldn't want that now," Natasha muttered as her gaze turned towards Tania.
Tania didn't look away and kept looking back at her until she winked at her and began walking back to her position.

Classes for the day at Crockel academy were shortened to also focus on the upcoming tournament and currently five of the martial arts students in Nicole's class.
Dylan was really quiet which was quite unusual, even at times when he was really low he still raised topics but abstained from talking much.
His strange attitude may have gone unnoticed by Orah and Silvia who didn't care that much but it didn't go unnoticed by Ella who had approached Luis now.
"What's wrong with Dylan?"
[ ??????? detected ]
The Angel got that feeling he always got whenever Ella was around him but now he was no longer sure if it was the necklace or her as she didn't appear to have the necklace on her neck.
[ Aura vision activated ]
He scanned her with his aura vision to see that the green necklace was in her pocket and the green aura around it appeared to have increased in size from the last time he saw it.
'What's wrong with him?' Ella thought as Luis hadn't replied to her question yet and was just staring down at least that's what it looked like.
'He's sensing me as always but he still has no idea.' Jasmine said.
"Luis," Ella called.
"Oh sorry," Luis said as he realized that he had gotten lost in his mind again.
'You should stop doing that in front of your friends.' Lena said.
Luis ignored her as he decided to answer the question that Ella had asked earlier.
"I don't know what's wrong with him, he just came home one day with blood all over his body and after we took him to the clinic he's been acting like that," Luis said.
"Did you say he had blood all over his body?" Ella asked.
"Ella."
The two turned to where the voice had come from to see Silvia standing a little distance away from them but the others were long gone.
"I don't know if the both of you have noticed but you've been standing there for quite a while now, we just got to class," Silvia said.
"Oh," Ella said. "Come on, let's go, you can explain more to me before we get there."
Luis explained everything to her from the time they went to the fighting club in the warehouse and how Dylan had returned there to get his coin.
"Don't you think they did something to him?" Ella asked as they stopped in front of the door.
"Come on Ella," Silvia said as she opened the door and walked into the class, she didn't even care to know what they were talking about.
"I have my suspicions but I don't think they did anything to him besides beating him," Luis said, opening the door to the room.
The reason he was saying that was because he had scanned Ace's body with his aura vision several times to discover that there was nothing to be suspicious about there.
But he was still suspicious because he had lied to them the other day after returning from the clinic and he had also seen him yesterday returning from the same path that led to the warehouse and he was quite sure he had lied about where he had really gone to.
The two walked into the room to see that everyone was already there including Michael.
Michael kept his gaze on Luis as he walked to where the rest of the students were standing before turning back from them all.
"We have a day left before the school competition begins," Michael said slowly, turning to face his students again. "And that's why I will be choosing the best fighters to represent us today."
There were slight murmurs among them before Michael continued.
"I will match each one of you with someone to spar against but unlike the other spars you're allowed to use your abilities in this one but no weapons," Michael said.
"Yes," Henry muttered under his breath as his gaze turned towards Monica who was standing close to Silvia.
Michael walked to the other side of the table and picked up his tablet where he had already arranged everything.
"Ok, Silvia versus Monica will be the first fight," Michael said as soon as he returned with his tablet.
The two who were standing close to each other turned to each other immediately after they heard their name.
'Finally, I get to face the wonder warrior.' Monica had quite the cheerful thought as she stepped up into the large space in the middle of the room.
'At least she will be able to put up a fight more than the last person I fought with.' Silvia thought as her gaze turned towards Luis.
"Ok remember, you either win by knockout or the other person surrenders and, no weapons," Michael said. "You may now proceed with your battle."
The fight started slowly with the two circling around their axis but immediately after Monica had gotten to the spot where Silvia had been standing before a long piece of metallic ropes shot out from her hands heading for the wonder warrior.
The metallic rope wrapped around her arm and a smile appeared on Monica's face.
Monica yanked her to the side with the help of her metallic rope and before she could get up yanked her to the other side.
She was about to yank her again when Silvia grabbed onto the rope with her hands vibrating as fast as ever, with the fast movement of her hands she was able to pull Monica close to her before sending her back with a kick.
"Cool ability," Silvia said as she pulled the metallic ropes off her hand, it was easy now that Monica was no longer holding onto it.
"Yeah, I know you can do better," Monica said after getting up from the floor.
Silvia sped past her as she quickly turned but that was just a distraction as the wonder warrior quickly returned with a superspeed punch aiming for her but she noticed it on time as she formed a shield to block the attack as Silvia's fist collided with the shield and made a clanging sound.
"You missed the point," Silvia said with a smile as she sent a sliding kick on Monica's legs which knocked her back with her shield flying along with her.
