I stare at Ace, bewildered, and he continues to eat, oblivious of my eyes. My stare turns into disgust as he stuffs his face with food. He looks at me and raises an eyebrow. I shake my head and smile, stuffing more fries into his mouth. He glares at me but gulfs down the food anyway.

"What was that for?" He glares.

"Nothing. Anyway, you never force me to win a competition. What happened this time?" I question.

"Alex, it is 'The Don', 'THE DON' DO YOU HEAR ME?" He shrieks.

"Yep, loud and clear," I wince.

"If you defeat him, you will become the unbeatable champion," He exclaims.

"IF," I stress on that word. "He is called unbeatable for a reason," I state.

"Yep. So, I asked Asher to train you," Ace smirks.

Asher is the only person who knows 'THE DON'S' identity since he runs the place. But, 'A girl who defeated the undefeatable champion', the name does not seem so bad, and a slow smirk forms on my face.

"Let's do it," Soon, school comes to an end, and I meet Ace outside.

"About the fight, I want you to stop fighting other opponents until the competition," Ace declares.

"Every Saturday and Sunday, you will train with Asher, and the rest of the week, I will train you,"

"You are not strong enough to train me," I shrug, popping a piece of gum in my mouth. BIG MISTAKE, I TELL YOU.

"You know, there was once a girl named Alex, and by accident, she said some words to her best friend she knew she was going to regret for the rest of her life. Can you guess what happened to her?" He smirks.

"Since he was such an amazing, beautiful, kind and lovely person, he let her go, and they lived happily ever after," I nervously laugh, slowly backing away.

"WRONG," He grins, cracking his knuckles while slowly walking toward me.

"I AM SORRY," I shriek, running away as fast as I can to save my life.

"I will make you regret saying that," He states and chases me.

"You know I love you both very much, right? So please spare me," I beg for my life.

Ace chased me all the way to my house, and currently, my hands are tied behind my back to the chair I am sitting. Both Ace and Ado smile evilly, and Ado hands him the deadly weapon called 'THE FEATHER' to kill me.

"I swear I will do anything you both ask for the next two weeks," I bargain.

"Two months," Ado negotiates.

"One month,"

"Fifty days,"

"Forty days,"

"Forty-five days,"

"DEAL," I yell happily, accepting their negotiation.

"DECLINED," Ace smirks and starts taking off my shoe.

"Then why the heck did you start negotiating?" I question, trying to free myself. Ace successfully removes my shoes, and before he touches my socks, I kick him using my right foot, but he blocks it using his left hand but loses his balance, and he places his right hand on the floor to balance himself.

Perfect. I smirk.

Before he could react, I lift my left leg and stomp him hard on his right hand. He groans and removes his hand, and taking that opportunity, I use both my legs to push him backwards. He falls back with a thud, and I quickly put both my sneakers and Indian sit on the chair. I smirk and wait for him to get up.

"Oww oww, that hurt," Ace groans, sitting up. He looks at me and smiles.

"I sometimes forget how strong and brainy you are. I give you a ten for that,"

"Adora, close your mouth, or else a bug will build a nest in your mouth," Ace laughs, looking at his sister's stunned expression.

"WOW. It all happened so fast. I couldn't really tell what was going on. But that was amazing," Ado exclaims.

"This is the first time you are witnessing her do this, right? I will ask Asher if you can come to see her fight. You will be amazed,"

"Guys, I am still tied here," They did free me but tickled me to death after that, too.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" August and I simultaneously ask each other.

"WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?" I ask Ace,

"WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?" August questions Asher.

"We should have talked about the timing," Asher informs Ace.

"Definitely should have," Ace mumbles.

I glare at August, and he glares back. Is Blue training with Asher too? It is finally Saturday, and I am here to train with Asher.

"You guys can fight each other. It is good practice for the both of you," Asher advises. Fight August? That is not a bad idea. I could use more experience from August since he fought 'The Don'.

"I am fine with that," I announce.

"Yeah, me too," August informs.

"It's settled then. I will train both of you together on Saturday, and at the end of the day, you will combat each other," We both nod.

I change into more comfortable clothes, and Ace wraps my hands with tape. I am getting excited about this. I do simple warm-up exercises to loosen the muscles.

"Okay, since August already fought D once, tell us what you learnt," Asher suggests.

"Well, for starters, he is incredibly strong,"

"That is obvious," I mutter.

"You said anything?" August questions.

"Nothing, something got stuck in my throat," I fake cough and smile sweetly at him. Ace gives me the stink eye, and I murmur an apology.

"Continuing, he has very sharp reflexes. He can also decipher our next move by our body moments," That is very bad. If he can guess our next move, landing an attack on him will be challenging.

"His main strength is feint attacks. He will feint us with one move and land a completely different attack. It all happens so fast we won't have any time to defend ourselves, and the technique works ninety per cent of the time,"

"I lost mainly because of the that," He concludes.

"Then all we need to do is think of a counterattack," I smirk, "I might just have the perfect one,"
