The start of the event wasn't as impressive as the build-up to said event, unlike how it had been before; the start was something as simple as the teacher person without enough money for clothes standing in the middle of the testing area.
"Css A, The Golden Egg vs Css E, The Fuzzy Tiger." The teacher person with short clothes said.
As she spoke, a group of five kids walked forward. They set up as if prepared to go to a war; two stood on the outer area behind the side that was supposed to be Alexa's side, while the other three stood in the inner rectangle opposite to Alexa's side.
"Let's go then, we don't want to make the tigers wait," An said with a sigh as he walked to the arena.
He was walking to the outer rectangle on the opposite side, as was the original pn.
"Will you go to that side too?" Alexa said to Glory, she then pointed to the other two kids that had stood on their side, "They are on this side after all."
"No," Glory said shaking her head, "They are on this side to make it harder for us, but it also means that An will have an easier time, if the ball goes into the outside we are going to lose the point anyway, it's better this way, if they are busy bullying me, then they can't defend as well."
But Alexa didn't want people to bully her friends!
"Also, if you and An take this chance to score points, then they will need to change their strategy accordingly." Glory said after a second, "So them being on our side is more helpful than not; besides, if they bother you, you can just eliminate them; if you hit them and catch the ball, it is good as if they are eliminated. People rarely do that since it's harder to eliminate them, as people can dodge, and if you miss, then it's a minus point for the one that threw the ball."
So Alexa could eliminate them so long she didn't miss, easy.
"Then let's go," Alexa said walking forward to the testing area, the people watching them from the stands roared in unison as soon as Alexa walked under the lights.
"And there it is people! The start of our match, the daughter of the Saintsworths!!" The announcer said to the masses, Alexa obviously turned around searching for this star of the match, she would need to be wary of them too.
If they were a Saintsworths then they could be dangerous! Alexa would need to be extra wary of them.
"They mean you," Glory said from the side in a tired voice, as if she wasn't sure why she was saying these words.
"Alexa? But they already knew Alexa was a Saintsworths, and they hadn't reacted like this before." Alexa pointed out this important fact, after all, she had introduced herself as a Saintsworths from day one.
"After you confirmed your status as a Saintsworth the people will take more note of you." Glory said sighing, this one sighed quite often, why did people sigh when near Alexa? Was it because she was this cute? Probably.
"Well, I guess that makes sense," Alexa said waving at the people that brandished cameras at her, she wanted them to stop, but for some reason waving at them didn't seem to be working as Alexa intended. She still did it, since it felt like the right thing to do though.
"Get into position!" The teacher person with very little clothes said, so Glory walked to the outer side of the area, as soon as she stood there the other two students from the fuzzy tigers stood at Glory's side.
Alexa took notice of their position. An stood on the other side in a straight line from where Alexa was, and three kids stood between them.
Alexa didn't recognize them, but then again, she hadn't paid too much attention to the random [Humans] that were in her previous css; she hadn't paid that much attention to the ones in her current css either, so it was understandable, if anything it was a miracle that Alexa knew people at all!
But that was beside the point, really.
"The ball will start in possession of the weaker css as part of the rules," The teacher person said, giving the ball to the wrong team; she gave it to the Fuzzy Tigers.
But shouldn't it go to their side?
"The Fuzzy Tiggers have a lower overall result on their exams and are a full civilian team with no links to known Heroes or Vilins." The teacher person said, then pointed at Alexa's side, "By contrast, the Golden Egg team has at least one Core User and known links to the Super Hero community in the way of deals to provide the superhero community with gear! And as shown by one of their members, they also have a Saintsworths!"
The lights focused on Alexa, who, thanks to her new clothes, shone brightly under the spotlight; she liked being this dazzling, to be honest, but was also annoyed, so wearing the superior clothes had become a way to prove that they were stronger?
Dang it, she had hoped that her current cutestest appearance would help them by giving them some time of advantage; most humans seemed to make their own narrative when it came to expining Alexa's behavior and things. But in this case, it hadn't worked!
"It's okay Alexa!" Glory screamed from behind, "Stick to the pn!"
The pn? Oh right…the pn.
"The pn!" Alexa said aloud back to Glory, "I'll stick to the paaan!"
The ultra super secret pn! What pn? Alexa didn't know! But Glory didn't need to know that Alexa didn't know! If she acted like she knew, then the people would worry and prepare for the pn! But since Alexa wasn't following that pn, then they would prepare in vain! And that would become an advantage that Alexa could take!
So the pn would help her! Even if Alexa didn't know what that pn was! Perfect! Alexa was a genius!
As expected of Alexa!
As expected of the twin sister of one of the most brilliant men on Terra Nova!
No, wait, why was Alexa twin sister of that asshole again? Alexa would need to check on that, it was weird that Alexa was a twin sister of someone when she was just barely becoming what she was, she didn't think that P4 had these type of thoughts before becoming Alexa, at the very least, of that Alexa was sure.
“Ready….set…..Py!" And like that the teacher person threw the ball into the air, she angled it so the ball would go towards the other side of the pying court.
Alexa was half of a mind to jump and hit the ball, but decided to watch, and it was a good thing that she did so, because as soon as she stopped looking at the ball and turned to look the other pyers, she noticed that the one that was to the forefront was running towards the ball.
At the speed he was going and at the size he had (He was taller than Alexa), he would arrive sooner to the ball than what Alexa could do so, and more importantly, if he arrived sooner, then he could have more time to attack.
And that he did, as soon as the [Human Kid Stage] got to the ball he hit with the palm of his hand open in a downwards motion, the ball got shot straight towards Alexa's side of the court, and sure enough with the speed and strength added from a downwards attack it shot at great speed towards Alexa.
"Alexa!" Glory screamed from behind while the people that were watching from seemed to scream as they watched the event unfold.
“[Accelerating thought process… Increasing reaction time to the limits set up by host.]”
Alexa could see the ball flying towards her; at the speed and trajectory it was going, it would hit her straight in the face; it would surely hurt and probably incapacitate her for a few seconds, enough for her body to hit the floor and for the ball to fly away from her.
At the angle it would rebound from Alexa's cute face, it was almost guaranteed that Glory would not be able to catch it, if anything it would probably end up in the hands of one of the enemy team members.
So Alexa would need to either dodge or catch it, and since dodging it would mean they would lose one point (Since the ball would touch the floor on their side and end up god knows where), then the answer was obvious. Alexa needed to catch it.
So, steeling her resolve, Alexa prepared to move; she was in an accelerated thought process, but her body was moving at the limit of what she could tolerate right now, and that wasn't very fast. Even so, Alexa had just barely enough time to make it work.
Step one, Alexa first raised both her hands up; she pumped as much strength as she could into her arms and moved the arms upwards; she pced her open palms into the trajectory of the ball; this way, she would kill most of the momentum of the ball and send it flying straight up, not towards Glory or back to the enemy camp, but straight up, 90o grades upwards.
The ball would remain on Alexa's side of the court so she would have enough time to recover and move to her next move.
Step 2, while the ball was floating above her side of the court she would follow the example of the enemy team, she would jump to use the advantage of an attack from an elevated position towards an enemy that is down.
She would jump and hit the ball downward towards one of her enemies, something like giving them a taste of what they had done to Alexa, she didn't enjoy what she would suffer after all.
Now who would she attack first? She had four options in front after all; the first would be the kid who had jumped to attack and was still in the air and was now falling to the ground; he was a bck-haired kid with brown eyes and a smirk on his face.
On the floor behind him stood two other options, the first was what looked to be a girl, Alexa thought it was a girl since she had long hair set up into what Glory had said was the twin tails style, it looked cute, Alexa didn't like the fact that the girl looked cute, perhaps she could hit her in the face like how they had wanted to hit her?
The second option was a male kid that was round-ish, just like how the girl Ale had impersonated during the bank heist, this one had great reservoirs fo fat on his body, if he could move all those resources as a way to attack then he was the most dangerous of the three.
And of course the other two kids that were behind her were also an option, unlike the three that were on the other court, these were taller and seemed to be more dangerous, Alexa wondered why they were on this side and not on the attack side, at least if one of them had attacked instead of the one that had done so, then Alexa wasn't so sure about her answer to the dilemma.
Either way, it was time for the pn to go forward.
“[Threshold achieved, returning thought to normal speed.]”
And like that, Alexa's world resumed to normal speed; her body had already been pre-programmed to move as she had pnned, so her arms shot straight up to intercept the attack.
*BAM!*
The sound of her cute palms hitting the ball resounded on the court, and the people went wild.
"And the Daughter of the Saintsworths blocked the first attack!" The announcer person said as Alexa felt the sting of the hit on her hands, but she didn't have time to deal with that, as she needed to move to her next movement since the ball was in the air and the other kid was about to hit the floor then he would be ready for her attack.
So steeling herself, Alexa jumped!
In one single movement she was behind the ball that was in the air, looking down onto the [Peasants] Alexa picked her target, Alexa didn't want to hurt her palms before she had time to fix them, so instead she opted for an easier solution,
She balled her fist, and with a downward motion, she hit the ball with her closed fist; aiming in such a situation was more than hard, so Alexa didn't have the chance to prepare something that complex to determine who would win.
So when Alexa was at the eye level of the target she had been sent to, Alexa noticed something else, the other kids were wearing surprised expressions on their faces; the only one that wasn't wearing such an expression was An, who was smiling so widely that Alexa feared that his mouth would rip open.
Either way, Alexa had hit the ball, aiming roughly at the area where her opponents stood; she had plenty of fait that she would at the very least hit the ground and score a point; in the best-case scenario, she would hit one of them even!
She had way more average strength than what her opponents would have, at the very least, and if to that it was added the fact that she was attacking in a downward motion, then her power should surely be increased beyond the norm; Alexa was sure it would be a banger attack!
Or, at the very least, an attack with enough strength to incapacitate one weaker opponent.
*BANG!* *Wail* *Sound of a skull being crushed(?)[No skulls were crushed on this case]*
"And we have a hit! I repeat, we have a hit!" The ball that Alexa sent flying down hit the rounder [Human Kid] on its way down, afterwards it bounced out. "And we have a save from An Harmonia!"
After the ball hit the [Round Human Kid], it lost most of the momentum, the kid in question hit the floor and for some weird reason his eyes backed out and turned white, but that was not important, what was important was the fact that the ball had lost all of its momentum and was rolling on the floor. An, who was alone in the field's outer area, merely walked towards the ball and picked it.
"We have an early elimination and one extra point for the Golden Eggs!" The announcer person said, and the public started chanting 'Saintsworths!' 'Golden Egg!' and 'Harmonia!' even. "The ball returns to the Golden Eggs! Now, will the pyer Harmonia take this chance to attack from behind? It seems that he is speaking to the referee! Oh, we have a message, he will cede the ball back to his teammate!"
And so An threw the ball towards Alexa, it was a zy throw that made her doubt if it would make it to their side, but against all odds the other pyers didn't attempt to get on the way, instead they allowed the ball to pass through.
"Golden Eggs! Wait while we check on the health of the Fuzzy Tigers pyer!" The teacher person with clothes that seemed about to rip open said, Alexa turned to look at Glory who nodded her head.
So Alexa decided to py with the ball for now, the make of it seemed to be mostly of rubber, and on the inside was filled with pressurized air, a novel approach, Alexa could probably do the same to work as a way to cushion her falls in the future, fill her legs or body with hair and increase the bounciness of her body, that way she could probably kill plenty kinetic force from falls.
Even so, she wondered why they were taking so much time…
"The student is okay!" The teacher person screamed, and the people in the audience cheered, 'Golden Eggs!' and 'Saintsworths!' and a small number of people even chanted, 'Alexa!'.
So it seemed people knew who she was, which was interesting. Now, it was four versus three.
"Let's continue then," Alexa said smiling as she took the ball and examined her [Prey], now…who she would [Hunt] was the question…
