Exceed!!

Tuesday, 3:15 p.m

Walking out of the front doors of my school, I relax while the sun and wind slaps the back of my neck gently.

Successor high Academy (SA high): A highschool of education for successors and non-successors alike. This massive school is equipped with many talented students ranging from ages 14-19. This school's goal is to educate and guide students farther into the systems of the world. Most that graduate from this school, go for the career to become a National guard for the state.

During the end of every school year a tournament is held to determine the strength of every student. And for that, students would need to train every day so they can not only be strong enough to compete, but also push past their own limits.

Today is the start of training, so I need to get home quickly for me to start. I turn my head slightly to see a six foot, white skinned student with short, wavy, black hair in school uniform. K'yun is his name. I respect him for who he is as a person to everyone else, but to me alone, he likes to mess with me. Why is that?? I have no clue. But he seems to make things between me and him a competition at times. If he wants to be my rival, then next time he can go about it another way. "What do you want, Yun? I see you've brought your many number of three lackeys with you to see me.". "I heard that you're gonna participate in the tournament this year. Let's just say…my friends and I don't want that.", Yun grins. "So what? Are you mad that I may be competition to you in the event? Are you afraid to be embarrassed and lose to me??"

I replied almost immediately. "I'll show you…". Yun rushes in at me with all of his friends. I block a kick from Yun, roundhouse one of his minions, slip under a punch from another, and while still on the ground I crotch shot the last one with a rising knee, getting up before body slamming him. Yeah, he's done. Yun and his last two lackeys get up and rush me from all sides. I lean back to weave a punch from one of the nobodies before kicking his knee and sending him down. I then spin around and kick the other nobody about-faced while Yun hits him with a fist of rock that cracks his jaw accidentally, when trying to hit me.

Another one down. I step back as Yun steps up with a gauntlet made of rock. He attacks. I sidestep his straight punch, parry the right hook and try to counter with an elbow but K'yun blocks with his left.

He tries to sweep my leg but I step back and throw two jabs which Yun dodges. I then fake out a jab into a straight and catch Yun off guard, hitting his ribs.

Yun puts his guard up more before his last lackey comes running in behind him, shooting a great amount of flames at me. While using Incineration, I walk through the fire and chin check the last lackey with an uppercut as I turn off my ability. Now there is one…As Yun has his guard up I begin to bully it with combos and mixes of attacks. I parry a kick, throw an elbow but miss, block and parry a multitude of punches while trying to find an opening. Finally after a bit, I see a tiny opening and go for it. Thankfully I did, because with a heavy kick up high, I break Yun's block and stun him.

"I've been working on this for weeks! Let's see the final result shall we?". With a one-inch punch to K'yun's stomach, I whisper, "Shatter…". The blow sends Yun crashing back into the school building, knocked out. "Sighhh!! You and your stupid group made me late for training! Whatever. I guess fighting you guys was a good start for training today.".

I turn to leave but I am met with a tall 6 foot chocolate skinned student that goes to this school. I see her around, but never have we interacted. Her name is Juno Takata, a popular student in SA high who scores the highest grades in the whole school. Her large afro sways back and forth, covering her eyes as usual as she leans down a bit to get to my level. Though I can't see where she is looking, I know her eyes are locked on to my blue pupils.

Juno smirks, looking around before talking right at me. "Ex-shin, right? The second highest grade score in the school, right behind me by only one point…

What's a role model like you doing fighting in front of the school?". "Role model? And wait. These guys were the ones who attacked me first! All I did was defend myself from these losers...". Juno stands straight up, forcing me to look up at her as I continue talking. "Nevermind that, I need to go home and train for the tournament-"

"Tournament", Juno smiles as we say in unison. "Yeah, that's why I came to you, Ex-shin. I need a training partner for the tournament. I heard that there's gonna be a final 2v2 match, and you, Ex-shin…you are gonna be my teammate!! I saw how you were fighting a bit ago…you have skill, I'm dying to know who taught you how to fight, Ex-shin. So what do ya say, bestie? ". Pondering, I tap my foot repeatedly as usual. "Oh why the hell not! Yeah, I'll go with you. Besides, if you give me some good training I'll show you what I can really do. …Also, just call me Ex…", I smile.

The tournament of SA high is three days away!

Time of tournament: Friday, 10:00 a.m
