Chapter 31

---

Second day of the interschool city competition.

Tanhausser academy who had been overwhelming the single matches finally faced defeats against other school. Most likely because their strongest members had already finished their battles on the first day. Despite this loses though, Tanhausser still held the top spots and most likely gonna end up as champion of the single match division.

The excitement of the first day also died down a bit but many people are still watching the competition with bated breath.

Meanwhile in a certain staff room occupied by the Tanhausser academy...

"I'm quite pleased with the result of the competition," declared the principal.

"Hahahaha! Indeed. The brats are doing much better than expected." guffawed Dylan's class' coach.

"This is most likely because of those two." said another teacher, referring to Dylan and Dianne.

"Right. Our students doesn't want to be left in the dust and are performing much better." said a female teacher.

"Hopefully they would keep this up till the end."

"We've already reminded them. I'm sure they know what they are doing."

The teachers and higher ups of Tanhausser academy continued their conversation while throwing out plans to help their school's students.

In the virtual world the netizens too are busy discussing the results of the competition. In a certain forum...

"It seemed that Tanhausser is gonna bag the single's championship."

"We can't be sure about that. Last years champion, Toro academy will not give them the championship so easily."

"Comrade above, are you a supporter from Toro academy?"

"My brother's one of the competitor."

"Whoa! So that's why? But do they (Toro) have monsters like Dylan and Dianne as trup card?"

"...No."

"Hehehehe! Then they have no chance! Better accept the facts now, comrade."

"..."

"Lol"

"That really burn, man!"

"I think the guy just went to the hospital to get treatment. Must be a 3rd degree burn!"

This sort of teasing are also happening everywhere in the virtual world. Whenever someone supported other schools besides Tanhausser, the trolls of the virtual world would go on an offensive.

Toro academy's staff room.

"Does any of you have any plan?" asked Toro academy's principal with darkened face.

He is staring at a large screen, reading the netizens' comments. And what he read displeases him.

The staffs and teachers are looking at each other their faces gloomy. Though it is just the second day, the netizens and the crowds are already crowning Tanhausser academy as the single division champion. This does not seat will with them considering that their school had been the champion for three consecutive years.

"So no comment?" the principal asked again before turning off the screen. "Then we just have to give them the single's championship." he declared.

"B-but principal!" a teacher protested.

"Oh? Could you have a plan then?"

"N-no..."

Sighing, the principal spoked again, "there's nothing we could do about the single matches but the group matches are different. As long as we tire their main team, we will have hope on the team competition." the principal declared.

"Principal, could you have a plan?" someone asked.

"I have my arrangement."

Toro's principal then explained his plan to defeat Tanhausser on the group competition. Hearing of the plan, the teachers looked at each other in shock.

"T-that's too dangerous! If we're caught then our school will be disqualified and disgrace!"

"As long as we keep quite no one aside from us will know!" declared the principal.

"But principal, for this to work we needed the cooperation from other school."

Smiling, the Toro academy's principal left the staffs and teachers with a cryptic sentence, "I have my way."

Unaware of Toro's academy plan, Dylan, along with Dianne, Liz, Vivian, their other teammates are watching fatty Jings match.

"The fatty seemed to be much stronger compared to last time." said Ed.

"He should be or his special training will end up in vain." answered Dylan.

"Special training? What sort of training?" Vivian asked curiously.

Crossing his arms, Dylan told them the content of fatty Jing's special training. Hearing the content of the training, Dianne and the others shuddered.

"T-that's. Isn't that a bit too much?" Liz asked in disbelief.

"I'm surprised he survived that..." Nami said while shuddering after imagining fatty Jing's suffering.

"His ability focused mainly on defense, and that's his greatest strenght but it also mean that his offense is greatly lacking. The beating, I mean, the special training he endured will compensate for his weakness." answered Dylan.

Everyone: "He just said beating!"

Wiping his sweat, Ed was glad that he and Dylan was not that close, he doubt that he could survive fatty Jing's "special" training.

On the stage a muscular and bronze skinned fatty is beating the shit out of his opponent as if trying to compensate the beating he endured on the special training.

"Gah!"

Fatty Jing send his opponent flying with a powerful body slammed. The fatty's ferocity had already shattered his will to fight a long time ago. And it's not like he didn't try to surrender, he did, plenty of times already. But everytime he did fatty Jing would either pummel or tackle him.

Tears has been flowing nonstop from the eyes of the unlucky competitor hailing from Lett academy (a seeded school). He couldn't understand why this damnable fatty is so bent on bullying him. Sure he might have said some insulting words before the match started but this is just too much!

The audience are also dumbstruck by the one-sided beating but since they are just watching, there's nothing they could do. Though they wondered what sort of grudge fatty have for his opponent...

The referee also feel helpless. Since the fatty Jing's opponent have not surrendered yet or rather cannot surrender, the referee could only smile wryly but cannot stop the match since the other side is not really in danger. Sure he might be enduring some terrible beating but he could clearly see that fatty Jing's controlling his strenght.

"This remind me of a certain someone..." Dianne said in a soft voice.

Cough!

Dylan cough after hearing what Dianne said. He agreed that what fatty Jing is doing to his opponent is very similar to what he did with Enzo. Though Dylan was sure that there's no grudge between the damn fatty and his opponent.

After several minutes more of beating, fatty Jing finally decided to end his opponents torture. With one last body slammed, the participants from Lett academy was sent flying out of the stage.

"That felt good!" yelled fatty Jing after wiping the sweat from his face.

Hearing what he said, the audience sweated while the referee face-palmed. He prayed that what fatty did will not become a trend.

Fatty returned to his friend only to get several kick to the backside from Dylan and classmates. After complaining for a while, they then had lunch and returned to watch the other matches till afternoon. And with that, the second day of the single competition ended.
