I'm in my own world walking down the stairs thinking of the massive amount of homework I have from just Tactical Class alone.
My shoulder bumps one of the guys in a group of upperclassmen that are standing and talking in the middle of the doorway.
Fuck.
"Excuse you." The one that I bumped into said with a sneering voice.
"No," I said with a flat, blunt voice.
"Excuse me, what?" He said in a baffled voice.
"I know you know you heard head me, or is your supersonic hearing betraying you?" Of course I know who he is. He's the number one student at our school. Nastion Phaulius. I've done my homework, I know almost all of the powers of the Top Students. And it is just my luck that I bumped into him of all people. People with luck powers have it good.
"Wait, so you know who I am, one of my minor powers and yet you're still being a disrespectful piece of shit?"
"You were the one standing in the middle of the doorway."
"Fight me."
"Okay."
And we got teleported to an empty arena, people probably saw a pop-up since the Top Student was in a fight. But Nastion was always in one with weaklings to "show them their place," so no one bothered to watch.
We walk over to the referee and healer, my aunt Ms.Inies, to high-five her. This activates her powers so if one of us gets injured or dies she can just revert our bodies back to the way they were. A time manipulation type of power.
She gives me "the look" and I understood what to do.
As soon as I high-five her I stop time and we talk.
"You know that this will drastically change your social life as you know it right?"
"You're acting if I've already won," I say with a smile.
She sighs and says, "as long as you know what you're doing. Don't make my life any harder than it already is having to deal with you brats."
I chuckle at this and take my hand away and she is stopped in time. I look at my opponent and sigh, I hope I'll have fun with this.
I start time again and walk over to the arena. The main lights turn off; I ready myself and my opponent keeps his chill, leisurely body posture while facing me with his hands in his pockets.
I put my gloves on and ready myself.
He laughs.
As the lights and border forcefield turn on the sirens blare for the start of the match.
I stay where I'm at expecting his signature move.
"Hey! I'm gonna be merciful here and not kill your ass slowly and painfully." He says as I stay where I am and just I smirk.
"Say: 'I am sorry for running into you in the hallway. And I will respect you and all the other Top Students. I am just underclassmen trash.'" He scoffs in the middle of this. "And say 'I forfeit.'"
I drop my hands and straighten my posture. "I am sorry for running into you in the hallway. And I will respect you and all the other Top StuHA! Hahahaha." I burst out laughing in the middle of this clutching my stomach for dramatic effect, "sorry I just couldn't say it with a straight face. Gah! You should really know your opponent."
I stop time and walk over to him and run up behind him, jump up and kick him in the back of the neck, I start time again when my foot is milliseconds away from his neck. I am not too strong physically so I guide my leg telepathically to make sure my foot hits him hard.
He flies, and I keep pushing him across the stadium. He puts up his own force field to stop him from slamming into the border one.
He coughs and mumbles, "Beginners luck."
"Keep telling yourself that," I reply with a sarcastically sweet smile.
He sends a shock wave through the floor to throw me off balance. I stop time and balance myself out and get ready for his second attack, the start time again.
I am looking behind myself with my remote viewing and fall to the floor as a force field comes flying at me from behind. He is running at me and plants his foot to kick me in the face. I roll and move his foot up farther than intended unbalancing him and making him fall onto his butt.
There is a small audience that seems to be growing as the match sways in my favor. They start to laugh at him, I know he hears because he blushes and starts to get angry.
Let's see if the number one in the school can live up to his place.
He does not get out of control when he's angry, he gets more focused and dangerous, but at the same time, I can tell he's slowly getting more desperate. I have to stop time to dodge many of his attacks.
He gets in close to use his strength and skills to his advantage. I have only been playing defensively this whole time. I get bored, stop, walk away, start.
"You scared of me, you fucking bitch!? I can tell you're holding back you cunt. Or are you just a minimal?" He says sneering his words, spit flying out of his mouth with his rage, obviously getting very frustrated. He does not lose and I can tell his pride is getting shattered.
A minimal is someone who has very few powers or is very weak. The opposite of a thoroughbred.
"Aw, that hurts," I say sarcastically.
"I'll make it hurt!" He says with a snarl getting more frustrated.
"K"
He dashes at me and I sidestep and punch his back before he hits the ground I kick him in the stomach.
He coughs up some blood.
"Not so cocky now huh?" I say with a smile.
"You human!" He yells as he tries to squish me from above with his force field and I break it easily with my telepathy.
"Now that was just rude", I say straightening my posture and put my hands in my pockets. I trip him and take off his shoe and start hitting him with it, hard. Each hit sends him flying a few feet, I chuckle each time it hits him, I am very much enjoying myself. He tries to protect himself with his force field but I either break it or quickly go around it.
With one last hit to the head, he is down and out for the count.
The automatic voice calls out, "Winner: Rila Tempus.
New Status:1st place."

A/N:
Hey everybody that somehow made it to the end! Please give as much review and critique as you want, including grammar corrections and telling me when things are confusing. To make it more fluid when she stops and stars time I will now just do:
Stop.
Start.
To stop the repetitiveness of when she constantly uses her powers.

Thank you everyone who is reading this crap!
