Wearing  simple track pants,a t shirt and a hoody over it I entered the so called training arena

The environment was intense
Like they all had to fight the battle of their life today

A lot of men and women were warming up and training on their own while only a few stood in groups chatting and relaxing.

I thought this would be a men's academy but I was wrong
Alot number of girls stood there and I admit I was jealous of some of them

They wore sports bra with their abs at full display..well defined biceps and toned legs
Even though they showed too much skin in this cold weather but they knew their assets well
After all they have developed them after hardcore practices.

As I went there and stood among them I felt out of place
They were much taller than my 5" 7 frame
They were fit while I was out of shape.

I had a really good metabolism
No fat accumulated on my body but my body lacked toning..
It was toned well few years back but now being out of touch there is no doubt I lost my strength and stamina.

"Good morning trainees!!"
Ron said entering with a smile on his face and excitement in his voice

He was accompanied by 3 other men ..one of them being Mike
No!! Not this psycho again

Everyone greeted him and on their own arranged in three lines.

I stood awkwardly looking around where to join in.

Without further adieu I joined the closest line next to me

"Congratulations to all for reaching here!!You all proved to be worthy of being here by showing your skills...here in Kingston academy we train the best to become the bestest....you will be tested and broken at every step...but you must remember that what dosen't breaks you makes you stronger...we will break all your limits and only those who adapt will survive.....so best of luck to all!!"

Next Mike started

"Today we will start with ranking you according to your abilities...for that we will have a face off....5 minutes each.....no rule ,no restrictions ...we randomly choose your opponent...those who show the best skills go to higher ranks..."

"And yes there is equality of genders here meaning girls will have to fight boys....no conditions applied...

Okay then get ready...!!
1st fight begins in 15 minutes

What the hell!
I have to fight these hulks!!
Oh noooo!

Not that I can't defeat them....
But I can't show my skills...

If I do Dan will definately think that I was pretending earlier

Oh man what do I do now!!

The first fight started ...it started smooth with each sides defending but ended really nasty.
The boy was lying on the ground with bloody nose and broken  ribs.

The one who defeated him wore an arrogant smirk on his face as everyone around cheered for him.

A strecher was brought and the boy who was defeated was taken for immediate medical attention.

My heart sank when his body passed near me...his whole face was disfigured...

"This is not a place for weak!! Those who can't bear the bloodshed can leave right now!! No such oppertunities will be given later!!"
Mike announced

But no one left...they were determined when they came here...

On the other hand I wanted to leave
I don't want to live this life again
It was worse than hell and I had a 1st hand experience in it.

I looked at Mike and it seemed he understood as he shook his head telling me I didn't had a choice.

The fights continued

4 hrs later almost half of the fights were over...
Most of the fights were normal only few envolved bloodshed

The worst ones were boys vs girls
The boys didn't show mercy on girls
Those girls without muscles and skills ended screaming in pain and agony
But few managed to impress us all with their exceptional skills and defeated the boys.

Then all of a sudden everyone started whispering something while looking at someone behind me.
Confused I looked around to see him enter with 4 other men behind him.

He had his phone pressed to his ear as he looked up

My eyes met his and I immediately turned my back to him.

The girls that stood in front of me had wide smiles on their faces looking at him
They were whispering to each other

"Oh sh** he is Daniel Kingston!! He is so damn hot!!  "

"Oh my God he just looked at me!!"the other said

" Man I am doomed seeing his face! I don't think I will be able to concentrate on my fight with him watching!!"

The others agreed

I just ignored them and sat on a bench waiting for my turn....
They were going number wise and I was the 123 rd entry

I will be the last one but that didn't matter much
I was conscerned with who will be my opponent...
I will be the odd one out then who will fight with me....

I looked up to see Daniel sitting near the fighting Arena
His eyes were fixed on the fighters as he assessed their skills
The two men behind him kept whispering and discussing while he sat silently with one leg placed on the other .

"He is a man of few words..."
I heard someone say behind me

I saw a girl sitting next to me
Her hair tied in a high ponytail...water bottel in her hands and mischief in her eyes...

"Sorry..?"
I asked

"You were looking at Daniel right??I said he is a man of few words.."

"..but how do you know??"

"Oh come on girl I am the database of this place...I know everything about everyone here......."

She pointed at the girl fighting in the ring and said
"She is Shelly Wayfield ..daughter of the famous KM jewls owner...which is a sham company of the diamond mafia....so in short she is the daughter of the diamond mafia and plans to assist her father..."

"The boy who she is fighting with is the son of the Police head chief ...he wishes to join the police so he wishes to be best trained here before joining the academy..."

Wow! She really knows everything !

"Who is the man standing next to Daniel...?"

"The blonde?"
I nodded

"He is Ronn Richards....the host of this program...he is also called A2 which stands for agent no 2 ...he leads Daniel's plans and is among one of his most trusted men.....he looks friendly but is actually the most dangerous one...presently there are 4 charges of murder on him but all cases are undergone as he kills without any evidence..he can never be proved guilty.. he himself believes he is not guilty because the people he murdered were the bad guys who have murdered and tortured innocents."

I looked at the girl shocked while she smiled an innocent smile at me.

This girl was dangerous ...she knew much more than she should

"But I guess you are more interested to know about the man sitting at the centre known as Daniel Kingston..."

I looked back at Dan and she continued
"Man of few words...crusador of hearts and anyone's worst enemy Daniel Kingston is a mystery very few are able to solve...his hands are clean...just like his records and those who know how are already dead.. He dosen't has a heart which can beat for anyone ..so please don't serve yours to him ...he may look like a tempting fruit but remember he is not only the forbidden fruit but also a poisnous one...."

True...she damn true

This girl is not only a database but can be a dangerous virus as well....that virus which corrupts all the files stored on the hard disc.

"Don't you know more than you should know....be careful...a little knowledge can be a really dangerous thing.."

She laughed fully at my comment

"Hey I like you already...hi I am Emma Rosewood"
She said extending her hand

"Rosaline Thompson"
I said grabbing her hand

"Rose..?? It suits you with this beautiful face and thorny attitude..."

"Thorny attitute? Excuse me Emma I don't think you know me enough to know how thorny my attitude is...."

She smiled as if expecting my question
"See this is what I call a thorny attitude...protective and dangerous at the same time"

I smiled at her remark and she smiled along with me.
She has brains got to admit it.

"I got to go...se you later thorny Rosaline..."

With that she was gone leaving me wondering who the hell this girl was..

The matches continued and next was my turn...
Everyone was done then who was I going to fight with?

Ronn called my no and I stepped into the arena

He said something in Dan's ears and Dan nodded

"Being the wild card odd entry Rosaline Thompson is going to fight one of us.... Mike get ready.."

Oh no not this pervert!!
Anyone else but not him...

Everyone around me started whispering but none the less almost everyone encircled the Arena
They wanted to see how a proper warrior fights and how bad I loose.

But I was ready to give them a show

"Can't I fight anyone else other than him..?"
I asked Ronn while Mike gave me a sick psycho smile

"No you can't ,you don't have a choice "
He said with a sad smile...I looked at Dan but he looked least interested

He was busy typing on his phone ignoring my request

Okay then let it be...

My strategy was simple

Only defend no attack
Don't let him touch me knowing the pervert he is...
And lastly but most importantly stay calm don't get angry

As we stood face to face waiting for the bell he whispered with an evil smile

"You are gone little girl,count the number of bones I break and screams you make..!"

I smirked and showed him a small side of my true nature

"Easy boy learn to appreciate silence...because that's what you will only get"
