Chapter Seventeen

The hall was crowded as everyone was both expectant and nervous. The kungfu teacher was a Chinese man who was really scary and most students avoided him and infact the man never appeared in public except on occasions like this.

He never failed to show off his students during competitions although they never passed the semi finals which alone was a tough hurdle.

Charles bowed to his teacher as he entered the ring with a grin. He raised his hands up and his supporters shouted. Tamiloore walked down the stairs as Semiloore followed her.

Tara burst into laughter at the sight of the black belt tied around her waist.

"Is this some kind of joke huh?" Tara asked.

"Wearing a black belt? I thought you would come with some better tricks Tamiloore" she said again.

Semiloore grinned at Tamiloore "Take it easy"

Tamiloore winked in reply as she walked towards the reply.

A frown greased the teacher's face as Tamiloore bowed in the kungfu way and it was an entirely different way. She entered the ring and smiled at Charles.

The referee blew the whistle as they greeted each other and moved backwards. Charles gave a stance that sent the crowd reeling. Akin fidgeted were he was.

"Why would you allow such fight in the first place?" He asked Tomiwa the social perfect.

The latter frowned "Its not the first and why are you freaking over it?"

"His girlfriend is the one fighting"

"Huh?"

"Shut it!" Akin snappe.

Charles attacked first and the hall went silent. His eyes widened when he noticed she dodged it;he didn't even see her dodging it.

Tamiloore kept her hands behind her and gave him a small smile. Charles chuckled as he launched at her again and she dodged again. The crowd was surprised and a tiny bit of hope had began to grow within them.

Charles became furious;how was she dodging them all? And he couldn't even see her dodge it! It is a trick,he told himself as he started launching different attacks but Tamiloore kept dodging each one with a straight face and her hands at her back. Charles was getting really frustrated as he increased his attacks.

Tamiloore kept dodging as usual and everyone watched as her hand came out of nowhere and met his shoulder and in seconds, Charles was on the floor wide eyed. She had blocked his shoulder qi point. Using his left hand to fight would be useless now.

He stood up again and trying attacking using his legs and Tamiloore dodged as she pin pointed his legs severally and in seconds he was on the floor again.

He tried standing up but he couldn't stand up. He discovered his qi points had been severally attacked and blocked.

"What did you do to me?!" He yelled.

"Nothing much,you'll be fine, in four days" Tamiloore replied.

"Four days?!" Charles asked in horror.

"I took into consideration that you were supposed to go for an excursion next week which would be very helpful for your state exam" Tamiloore said.

Charles stared at her,there was no way on earth she was an ordinary kungfu fighter. His eyes went to the belt on her waist. The belt was no joke at all. He wanted to stand up but he just couldn't.

Semiloore broke the tension in the hall as she stood up and started shaking her butt in front of F class students. She stuck her tongue out to them like a child.
