Alex took Zion to the training area. He saw many people were weightlifting, some were having practice matches. It was a very lively atmosphere. "I thought the club would teach you some fighting techniques," Zion did not hide his disappointment. "Anyone could be stronger with the physical exercise and muscle memory."
"To learn those things, one should prove that he was worthy. Why should we waste our time and resources on people who don't treasure what they got?" Alex reminded the Zion not to underestimate the club on its outside look.
"So where was the real thing, take me there," Zion said with great interest.
"Now, let's go to the arena. That was the place where people test their abilities. You could see a wide range of fighting sequence in each war. They were priceless, especially the twins."
"My siblings were that good!"
"Not only simply good, but they also had their own missions and have a good track record," Alex explained.
"So what should I do to let the big shots of the club takes notice of me?"
"They already started watching you. You have a good father Zion. They were waiting to watch whether you humiliate yourself or make a miracle. Your reputation precedes you."
"Who was the best one currently in the arena, Alex?"
"Why do you need to know about that Zion? Are you intending to bring shame to yourself, while dragging your father down with you?"
"I have no such intention and tell me who the best one around here was. Do you want to see me attracting rage from everyone? You will also get some while staying close to me."
"OK, Duke would be the person you need to watch out for, he and your brother have an intense rivalry. He never got a chance to have victory; perhaps he may come and challenge you to a match.
You could not afford to refuse them because that would be cowardice." Alex explained after watching Duke who was coming at them.
Duke was coming straight at the Zion that was listening to the explanations of Alex. Alex was obviously irritated at the shamelessness of Duke for coming to pick a fight senselessly.
"I heard that younger brother of Logan was here! And as a good senior it would be my duty to let the newcomers like you to experience this wonderful place," Duke claimed shamelessly. "Senior Alex what do you think?"
"Don't look at his attitude, Zion. He is powerful." Alex secretly informed Zion.
"OK, then we could go to the arena, what is your opinion about a fight? It would be purely for educational and demonstration purpose. We don't need to have anyone injured in a battle. Aren't we?"
The crowd in the arena suddenly burst into laughter. The entire arena turned into a cheerful atmosphere. "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers." Someone said from the crowd.
"How about this, we could forgo the weapons and fight with the bare hands." Duke was very strong in the close combat. The crowd started to murmur about the shamelessness of Duke on picking fights with a newbie.
"So, senior Duke wants to give me a lesson. Please grant me the instructions. Zion mocked Duke and started to climb towards the ring.
Zion talked no more and invited Duke to the ring. Duke was now gloomy after the jeering of the crowd as they started to surround the ring. He knew that there was nothing to gain from this fight.
Whether he wins or loses. It would be nothing more than humiliation. For a second he blamed himself for this stupid action. 'I let my emotions get better of me' thought Duke.
"OK, let's finish it quickly," Duke mumbled and followed Zion to the ring.
Duke got up to the ring and took a fighting stance. He kept both his eyes on Zion as he raised both hands up and let the shoulders relax. He peacefully waited for Zion to attack him.
"What were you doing, I thought you were going to attack me. Why were you standing there motionlessly?" Zion berated Duke as he stood on the ring relaxed with calm. He knew that his physical quality did improve after the sleep. 'It should be the work of that fruit and energy I absorbed last night' thought Zion as he continued to mock his opponent.
With extreme anger, Duke lets go of all the stances and came at Zion with brute force. "You damn newbie; you should know your place and respect your seniors." He roared and punched Zion that went forward with the wind. Zion evaded each barrage of attack from the Duke and looked at him with mockery. This was only further increased the rage of Duke.
Phew…
"Stop right there and take that punch you piece of shit. Stop running away and fight like a man." He screamed at Zion as the barrage continued.
Suddenly with extreme agile, Zion shifted his weight and pushed himself forward to the right side of Duke. He lets himself have a firm ground and throw a powerful punch at Duke.
Bang!
As punch went forward, Duke tried to defend himself by shielding his body with the hands. One hand to guard and another to block the punch. Zion stepped his left foot forward and thrown a punch at the stomach with his left hand.
Duke had to take another strike on his body; he was unable to dodge this punch. Duke collapsed and staggered backward. Zion rushed forward and strikes on his foot at let him fell down.
Duke dived and rolled on to another side with extreme pain. 'Who the hell said he was a newbie'. Duke who was at the end of every punch, started to think that Zion was treating him like a punching bag.
Calm… Duke started to calm down as he stood up on the ring. "I was wrong to think that you were a newbie. You are better than many of us here. I won't be holding back anymore. You proved yourself to be worthy of my full strike." Duke spoke with an extreme confidence.
Duke stood straight and let every ounce of energy inside his body gets concentrate into his hands. He took this brute force power and stroked at Zion.
Zion was peaceful as he saw the Duke. He raised his hand and caught the incoming punch with his bare hands. This intense collision let the body of these two people to shake. The entire muscles moved and an acute ache started to feel on the body. He did not waste the opportunity; instead, Zion raised his leg and threw a powerful punch at Duke.
Bang…!
Duke was thrown off the ring and fell down with a thud. He struggled to rise, but he collapsed as his eyes blackened out with an extreme dizziness on his head. He did hear something before he fell unconscious. "You never asked how strong I was, I did hold back a lot even now. Do you know that?"
Even though Duke intends to bring a lot of trouble to Zion. He respected Duke for the unwavering will he have shown at the fight. It was something Zion appreciated.
Clap…claps… A resounding loud noise has come from the behind of Zion. "We shouldn't expect anything else from you, Zion. That was one marvelous fight you have shown us. As expected of Nathan's son."
Zion looked back and saw his father was coming with a few other individuals. He guessed they might be the other comrades of his father.
