Lilith handed Ted another small pouch which earned her a bewildered look. He was just walking to math when she had stopped him. She just shrugged. "Heard you had bull problems." She simply said as she walked off. Ted looked over the small leather pouch before stuffing it into his bag and walking off to class. Hopefully he won't need them anytime soon. He made his way to his seat just in time for class to start. As he listened to the teacher who was just going on and on about triangles, he placed his head on his fist.

"Psst."

Ted lifted his head and looked around. "Psst." His head snapped around trying to find the person only to find Cid sitting next to him. Has he always been in this class?

"Can I help you?" Ted asked uninterested. Cid looked around before sliding his phone out of his pocket and into Ted's hand. Ted looked at him and Cid motion for him to look at it. He did as he was told and saw his school's picture with some numbers under it. "What the hell is this?" He asked.

Cid smiled proudly. "Your fighting index. After watching your fight with Liam I decided to keep fighting records on everyone. You were the first." He explained. Ted just gave him an odd look. "So, you're stalking me?" He questioned. Cid quickly shook his head and tried to defend himself. "No, it's just, I want to help."

"Help? Help with what?"

Cid leaned in and Yes followed. "I want to help you take down the Demons." He whispered. He and Ted shared a glance and both began to chuckle. Looks like he just made a new friend.

"So you have the fighting records of every student at WWA? How'd you manage that?" Jim asked.

The group; Ted, Jim, Pip, Oscar, and Olivia, were all on the roof as Cid explained his invention. They were all impressed to the point of inviting him to join him as he excitedly told them everything about it.

"It took a lot of asking around and math but pretty much I found out how many fights everyone in the school's records have been. I then calculated how many they won and how many they lost and used that to make the fighting index. I can tell you all your numbers if you'd like." He offered.

Ted shook his head. "How about Raging Bull's instead?" If he was going to face him again it would be better to find out what he's dealing with. Cid typed the name in and a profile popped up.

"6,000." Ted raised an eyebrow. "And mine?" He asked. "100." The tension in the air was suddenly apparent when everyone shot looks to each other. This is going to be much harder than any of them thought. "Judging by the numbers, Bull must've been in 60 fights at the very least or won 60. Ted had gotten into one and won so he's at 100." Jim analysis. Olivia counted it in her head and confirmed it. Cid back it up as well. "Every fight is 100. Win you get 100 but if you lose you lose 100. Pretty simple stuff." He explained.

Ted groaned as he leaned back against the wall and stared at the sky. He was already tired just thinking of the fight that was bound to come. Olivia noticed this and placed a hand on his shoulder. She was blushing like a fool but she figured she should get used to being close with friends and physical affection seeing as Eve loved to hug her and Ted had a habit of subconsciously "petting" her.

"It'll be fine. I'm sure you can get through this." She assured with an awkward smile. Ted relaxed a bit as his friends watched the two. Pip smiled at his friend while Jim and Oscar stared with disapproval. "I'm rooting for him and Steph." Oscar whispered. "Nah. Team Eve all the way man." Jim disagreed. Cid was just happy to be involved.

To say Ted was exhausted would be an understatement. P.E. killed him on top of the injuries still healing. Hell, he was the last one in the locker room since he was still having trouble getting dressed. He sent a text to Jim to help out and he stated he was already on the way leaving Ted to sit on the bench waiting in sweaty gym clothes.

"This whole Demon situation is going to be harder than I thought. Hammer Fatty was easy enough but this Leon guy I just leagues ahead of me." He thought out loud. He glanced at the pouch Lilith gave him earlier and smiled a bit. "At least I got these this time around."

"You just might need them."

Ted looked up at the familiar voice to see Leon standing there with his arms crossed. Ted stood up and got into a fighting stance which earned a laugh. "You really think you can take me on like this? Don't make me laugh." Leon smirked. He uncrossed his arms and took a seat beside Ted. He looked at him. "Take a seat kid." Ted hesitated but took a seat.

"You're right about me being stronger than you. I have years of experience on you but I heard of your fight. Pretty ballsy honestly." Leon complimented. Ted simply say there uneasy. He kept looking back to the pouch and wondering if this would become a fight. Leon seemed to notice. "I'm not going to fight you right now. I want to talk first then we'll throw down." He explained. Ted sighed and allowed himself to relax. What was with this guy? Why was he being so friendly? Why not just get right to kicking his ass? "I like to get to know you. Maybe even recruit you."

"Recruit me? To the Demons?" Ted questioned. Leon nodded. "You already beat one of our own. You qualify so you can join, however you do still need to be punished for what happened." Even if he didn't start it? Ted simply jumped in to save his brother. Hammer Fatty started it all to begin with. Ted chose to keep his mouth shut instead. "I'll decline. Thanks for the offer though." He decided. Wasn't much of a decision really. He had a goal to take down the Demons. He wasn't about to join them. Leon seemed slightly disappointed.

"Very well. I guess we should get started in that case." He said as he stood up. Ted reached into his bag and pulled out the Boom Booms, turning to face his massive opponent. He briefly wondered if it was ok to use the Boom Booms with his injured hand but didn't have much time to consider it when Leon charged at him. He threw a right hook but Ted managed to roll out of the way only to be kicked away. He gathered himself quickly and jumped back up, throwing one Boom at Leon which landed on his chest. Leon cringed in pain for a split moment but quickly recovered and reached for the other boy. Ted sidestepped and slapped another Boom with his left hand on Leon's back hurting his own hand in the process.

Ted stepped back and held his hand in pain as Leon hopped around. "Now I'm getting pumped! You're dead kid." Ted was so caught off guard with the sudden mood change he didn't notice the boy swinging at him. The hit sent Ted against a nearby locker, denting it, and dropped. When he looked up he saw eyes of fire. "Let's finish this then." Leon grinned as he raised his hands. Ted blocked himself as those massive hands came down, only to hit something else. Ted looked back up to see Jim struggling to hold the arms in place. He looked back and gave his friend a smile. "Came just in time."

Leon retracted his arms as Jim quickly slid a can to Ted. "Oscar told me to give this to you. Hurry up and drink it. I'll hold him off." He ordered. Ted cracked open the can of Motley Drink and began to chug it's contents. Jim kept the big man distracted by dipping and weaving around his hits. Jim would dodge then throw a hit, knowing it wouldn't do much, and repeat the process. Leon got some good hits in as well but Jim always had a high pain tolerance. Finally, Leon had enough. He slammed his fist into Jim's gut and slammed him down on his face. "Enough playing around. You're not a part of this." Leon glared. Jim just laughed as he coughed up a bit of blood. "Yeah. You're all his." He grinned. Leon looked up to see Ted standing tall, empty can in hand.

"Let's do this."

Ted rushed at the large boy and threw a kick which Leon caught. Ted smiled as the loose Boom fell from his shoe and onto Leon's wrist which freed him. Ted the placed two more Booms into his hand as he swung. "I'm going to take you all down!" Ted yelled as his fist connected with Leon's face. A mini explosion blew up within Ted's hand and in Leon's face which caused the senior to stagger back. Ted dropped to his knee and looked at his hand. The bandages were done for and his hand was much worse for wear. As for Leon, he was done for. He fell back unconscious as Jim and Ted watched. They had won.

"Nice." Jim said before dropping his head back to the floor. Ted smiled but winced due to the stinging pain. "Let's get out of here." He decided. Jim got back up but so did Leon, guess he's not done yet. He had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes as he reached into his pocket and pulled out two pairs of golden brass knuckles.

"Shit."

Leon charged with his fists out and caught the two boys in their shoulders knocking them down. He then slammed his fist down but the boys managed to roll out of the way leaving only craters where they used to be. They stood up, Jim grabbing his shoulder, as they began to panic. "I don't got any more Booms. You got something Jim?" Ted asked. Jim shook his head. "Guess we'll have to use our last three brain cells." He joked. This joke was only met with a powerful hit to the face as Jim slammed back into the locker and collapsing onto the floor. Ted panicked and moved just in time for Leon to kick at him. He missed and Ted used the chance to take a swing at him but it was obvious it did nothing to the monster.

Leon smiled. "That's all you got pipsqueak?!" He swung his arm and knocked Ted away. Leon marched towards the boy but a loud bang stopped him in his tracks. His body collapsed as Ted saw what had happened. Behind him was Jim, with a fire extinguisher. The older boy dropped it and let out a sigh. "I get his knuckles." He stated. Ted just rolled his eyes. "You can have them."

--------

Ted and Jim were now sitting at the park holding cold cans of cola to their wounds as Pip and Oscar listened to what happened. Cid was there as well but he was only fixing the index with new records. "So it took two of you to beat him huh?" Oscar laughed. Jim flipped him off but groaned when he moved his shoulder. "They are victorious nonetheless. Cheers to our friends!" Pip said slapping Ted's back earning a cry. Oscar let out a chuckle as the two cheered while Jim and Ted just raised their fist in pain. "Woo." They tiredly, and unenthusiastically, cheered.

"We even get to celebrate further with an undoubtedly eventful trip to Fantasy Land this weekend in the presence of the lovely Eve and the criminally adorable Olivia." Pip reminded Ted.

Ted began to cry as he remembered that he will have to spend his weekend waking around an overpriced amusement park instead of resting and healing.

"Two fights within two weeks, this is a bit exciting isn't it?"

Lionhart was enjoying himself as Corey poured him a glass of coffee. Joseph, on the other hand, was less than enthusiastic. He was fed up with these Demons as much as it is and now they find out that one of their star players was a member. Not to mention, his best friend. Lionhart thanked Corey for the cup and sent her away to deal with club business leaving the two boys alone.

"You don't seem so happy. I thought you loved a good fight." Lionhart observed.

Joseph just sat there, eyes closed, as Lionhart sipped on his fresh cup of joe. "It was not a fight, it was a beat down. Those black marks were everywhere again. The person who took down Liam was responsible."

Lionhart raised a brow. "Really now? Do we have a Demon Slayer on our hands?" He then smiled widely. "And here I thought it was going to be a boring year! This is truly something grand. Fitting to end our school career with something like this." He stood up in a dramatic fashion as a spot light shines down on him from seamlessly nowhere. "We, as the senior student council, shall be the end of this unknown fighter!" He declared. Joseph simply sat there, ready for what was to come.
