Ava woke up in her room with a pounding headache it hurt to even open her eye's she slowly got up looking at the clock it was 7pm. Dragging herself to the kitchen she found that her dinner had already been made and was sitting in the fridge with a note saying to not worry that everything was taken care of. Grating her salad from the fridge she sat on the couch and turned the TV on flipping to the news there was nothing unusual until a story of a group of men was found half beaten to death that were arrested. With a splitting headache she went to bed.
The next week passed and nothing happened Spenser was still nowhere to be seen then the day of the start of sports festival began the two biggest schools were EEC from the east and WEC from the west where she attended luckily this year her school was hosting so she could watch Spencer live unlike how she usually had to watch at the school.Looking at her phone as she made her way to the arena there was a live interview with some of the contestants and Spencer was coming up
“... next up we have the most well-known athlete participating in the competition Spencer Baldr thanks for coming on
“Sure no problem glad to be here”
“So you started the day with track and field then some team sports how do you still have energy after all of those competition”
“As boring as it sounds training and not having wasted movements”
“Wasted movements?”
“ basically when I run or do anything I only use the minimum to do the it “
“So a lot of people want to know about how you fight mostly why you are so good at it”

“Well besides fighting being second nature to me it’s all about thinking about what the opponent can and can’t do”
“Like what?
“So if I punch with my left I can’t immediately punch with it again I’ll have to pull it back and do it again or use something else meaning that you could ignore my left for a second”
“Thank’s for the information, we have a clip from the first round fight that we’d like you to comment on”
As the video started Spencer approached his opponent with no guard as his opponent started punching left and right they all missed due to spencer’s swaying to dodge finally he tried a right high kick on spencer who ducked under it placing his left hand on the ground and spinning his momentum into a left heel kick for a knockout.
“So spencer first off why did you have no guard”
“In all honesty because I didn’t need it for the fight”
“I see as we saw in the video you only used one move for a KO were you aiming for that”
“Yes and no I knew he had certain moves that he used with annoying opponents so I was watching for one”
“Alright thank you for your time and good luck with the rest of the tournament”
“Thanks for having me”
Walking to her seat for the last fight Ava saw the principle talking to a police officer who looked to be barely in his thirties as she approached she heard Spenser's name quickly hiding behind a wall she listened in
“Officer Bryan it has been awhile since I've seen you what brings you here”
“ well Spencer called me about EEC and how they tried to attack his friend Ava If he wasn't there who knows what would have happened”

“True altho I feel sorry for those kids who attacked her Spencer protects those he cares for with a vengeance”
“haha you should know”
“yea after that I quit, what happened to his sister anyway”
“.... actually I'd rather not say”
“Ah that bad, don't say anymore why are you here now?”
“Well after the fight we're going to arrest a large amount of EEC students well after Spencer has gotten through to them they probably feel safer with us, anyway the fights about to start I've got money on him destroying that punk under 20 seconds”
“Alright you’re on
As the two approached the railing overlooking the arena, Spencer and the EEC fighter were standing in the middle of the ring talking then as Spencer turned the air seemed to get colder. As the bell rung Spencer seemed to teleport across the ring hitting the temples on both sides with enough force to be heard in the nosebleed seats. then he kicked each knee with enough force that the snap could be heard outside the arena. Spencer quickly not letting him hit the floor alternating between left and right to the ribs the opponent couldn't even lift his head as Spencer finished the fight with a jaw shattering spinning heel kick to the jaw. The timer had barely counted down 10 seconds and the medics were rushing in.
Spencer left the arena with a cold expression leaving for the locker room.
When Ava finally found Spencer he was leaving the arena in his usual baggy cloths except he seemed larger than before how ever his cold expression had been replaced with his usual smile. As they started home Ava couldn't put the fight behind her and had to ask
"hey Spence"
"what's up?"
"what was with you today you usually try to do the minimum to your opponents having fun, dodging and making them look bad. But that last fight seemed like you just wanted to hurt him"
" long story short they tried to blackmail me into throwing the contest"
"WHAT!"
"Yea they were going to use you as leverage against me so I'd rather not talk about it"
"fine...... Spencer, why didn't you tell me you had a sister
with pain in his eye's he stopped walking and looked blankly at the ground"
"It's none of your business"
"I just want to know about your family"
"Listen I don't ask questions you don't want to answer don't ask me questions I don't want to"
"Why are you trying to shut me out I was just wanted to know more about you and your family"
"Just drop it I'm not talking about it."
With that the two walked in silence back to the apartment with a quick see ya they each entered their own homes.
Spencer who had been busy for the past two weeks finally made it back home however he was too tired to do anything much plus if he was correct his delivery should be arriving the next day. With that he collapsed on the couch as he usually did.
