Chapter 214 Element Of Surprise
Dylan was not only shocked to see Luis he also couldn't comprehend the fact that he looked absolutely okay, that feeling of shock and surprise didn't last for long as the teenager felt a shiver run down his spines.
"You're okay." He stuttered trying to sound cheerful.
"You sound surprised," Luis said, pulling him up and pushing him against the wall. "Because you don't expect me to be okay."
"I'm sorry." Dylan stuttered, his voice sounded hoarse like he had been crying for a long time.
"And you think your sorry would have fixed anything if that guy had hurt me," Luis said.
"I didn't want to do it, he was the one that forced me," Dylan said with a trembling voice.
"We sleep in this room together every day, you could have said something," Luis said, tightening his grip on Dylan's neck.
"I wanted to but he threatened to kill me if I didn't do it right," Dylan said.
"So that's what this is all about," Luis said with rage filling his voice. "You traded my life for yours."
"He said he was just going to beat you up," Dylan said.
Luis was really hurt and disappointed, he never thought someone like Dylan would do such a thing to him.
His rage was getting the better of him as he pulled Dylan up and swung him to the side causing him to crash into Ace's bed almost knocking it over.
"Luis stop," Ella said as she rushed over to him and grabbed him before he could take a step forward.
Luis didn't try to resist as he stared at Dylan who had slowly gotten up and had his back against Ace's bed.
"You should have told me, we could have figured a way to deal with him together, you had Ace, you had me," Luis said.
"What would you guys have done? He wasn't the only third-year student there, we are just first-year students." Dylan said.
"Just first-year students," Luis said with a half-hearted chuckle. "That is where you are absolutely wrong Dylan."
"We could have done something together, you saw what happened in that ring that day. Aren't you wondering how I'm standing here after you abandoned me in the woods?"
"What did you do to him?" Dylan asked
"The same thing I'll do to you if you don't give me proper answers to my questions," Luis said as a large bubble of water began to form in his hand.
"Luis," Ella said slowly, bringing his hand down. "Why don't you try asking the questions first?"
Luis stared at Dylan for a while before the bubble in his hand slowly faded away.
"What did you do to him, Luis?" Dylan asked.
"I think I'm the one supposed to be asking the questions here," Luis said slowly walking out of Ella's hands.

'If he hurts Rodney the others might come after the both of us.' Dylan thought.
"Let them come, I'll handle them the way I handled him," Luis said, squatting down in front of him. "Now do you mind telling me who these others are?"
"You can read my mind," Dylan said with a shocked voice.

The fight between Monica and Zoey seemed to be one-sided for the meantime as Monica was getting tossed all over the arena by the red-haired female.
"Arghhh!" She yelled as she flew and crashed against the wall of the arena creating quite a dent.
There were a few tears on the arm part of her uniform and her face seemed to have a little dark stain on it.
"I'm surprised that didn't knock you out," Zoey said after stopping in front of her.
She looked perfectly fine and still had her chain in her hand.
Monica gritted her teeth and dragged the sands with her hands to form a fist with both of her hands.
"This fight isn't looking good for Monica," Orah said.
"I really expected her to do better," Silvia said, folding her hands.
She expected a reply from someone and when she didn't get it, she began to look around.
"Where's Ella?" She asked.
"Didn't you see her leave with Luis?" Orah asked with his gaze still on the screen.
"She left with Luis, why?"
"I don't know, they didn't tell me," Orah said.
"This fight is over," Zoey said as she got her chain ready to slam down on Monica but just as the chain was about to descend on Monica she summoned something she had been saving for a moment like this.
She wrapped her whip around Zoey's chain and with a metal path pushed herself backward and then pulled Zoey down.
"I didn't see that coming," Josh said with a breath of relief as he had been watching the fight with crossed fingers since the beginning.
Zoey tried to get up but Monica pulled her whip which was still attached to her chain and pulled her down once more.
"Impressive, she was saving her element of surprise for the last part.
"Yaaaa!!" Zoey yelled as she pulled her chain back forcing the whip to loosen on it.
She didn't waste time flinging the whip towards Monica trying to toss her around again like she had been doing but this time Monica wasn't going to allow it as she formed a metal path and slid on it to prevent the chain from touching her and then wrapped her whip around the chain.
She was heading towards Zoey with her metal path and having her whip wrapped around the red-haired female's chain meant that she was about to get dragged to the floor.
She got the gist of what was about to go down as she was pulled to the floor and in order to prevent Monica from getting her way, she was forced to let go of her chain.
"Yes," Monica said under her breath as she yanked the chain away from them.
Everyone watching the fight was really surprised as to how the one-sided battle had completely turned around.
"These martial arts students really know how to play with their opponents." Lieutenant Kate said.
"I don't need that chain to beat you," Zoey said as she stretched her hands and summoned the light red balls which she didn't waste time sending toward Monica.
"And I'm not letting those things touch me," Monica said.
She formed a large shield to block the balls and as soon as the shield had done its job she formed an elevated metal path and placed a shield in front to prevent making the same mistake she had made at the start of the fight.
Zoey threw two more of her restraining balls at Monica but the shield seemed to have done its job well as the martial arts student closed up on her and flung her whip aiming for her legs.
The whip wrapped around her leg and Monica didn't waste time pulling her up with the momentum of her moving metal path.
Once Zoey was mid-air she quickly turned and let out a barrage of metal discs which all hit her before she touched the ground.
There was a moment of silence in the arena as everyone including Monica watched Zoey lie on her back with her eyes closed, it was like they were expecting her to get up but that didn't seem to be happening.
"Well, it doesn't look like she's getting up and that means Monica Smith after a tough battle advances to the next round." Lieutenant Kate said.
"Yes," Monica said as she fell off her metal path and landed on her back.
