{ Tori's POV }

I get to the gym and I see Luca and Alex in the ring. I immediately start to notice that neither of them seem to be able to get the other down.
I walk towards Diego, Lorenzo, Marco, Valente, Francesco, and Riccardo.

"Why are they the only ones fighting?" I ask

"They were up first and it's been a draw ever since." Riccardo answers

"Of course it has." I say

"You say that as if you already knew it would be..." Francesco wonders outloud

"Because to me it's obvious. I'll explain."
I say as I walk into the ring and distract the guys from fighting.

"Both of you are just tiring each other out. It'll always be a draw because both of you are at the same level." I state what should've been obvious to everyone.

"How do you know?" Valente questions seeming doubtful that I know what I'm talking about.

"It's obvious. Luca is pure muscle making him physically stronger and all of his hits come with force and are direct. He's skilled yet isn't afraid to take risks to win." I say but pause

"Go on.." Luca says looking at me with a smirk

I give him a nod and continue..

"Alex, however is pure speed with laser focus. Overall Alex is probably more skilled but that is also a weakness, because he is so skilled he doesn't take needed risks to win a fight." I say

"And what's your suggestion to fix this?" Valente questions seeming impressed but I can tell he's trying to challenge me.

"Neither of them are bad fighters. They are probably two of the best I've seen..but they need to learn from each other. Luca needs to speed up on his attacks, as do the rest of you. Alex needs to learn how to take risks, even if it means fighting dirty. Whatever it takes to win."
I say with a shrug

Everyone looks at me almost dumbstruck.

"I think you broke them.." Alex jokes snapping everyone else out of their trance.

"We don't have time to study each other." Marco says

"You do, if you do what she does.." Alex says

"Which is?" Riccardo questions

"Learn fast." Alex replies

"You've fought with her?"
Luca asks raising an eyebrow

"Yes." Alex says

"None of us have actually fought with her."
Lorenzo said

Although that's not completely true, they haven't fought with me to the extent that Alex has.

"It's probably safer for you that way. Tori likes to play around with whoever she fights...."
Alex says giving me a smile

"I did learn from the best." I say

"He's the one who taught you to fight?"
Luca asks seeming tense
