Mars has entered the arena, the opponent this time is Archer, the coach. He is being punished for his negligence and his foolishness following Samantha's plan. Archer had warned against always following the girl's wishes.
With the disappearance of Samantha giving a deterrent effect on Mars, they are currently in a duel without weapons. The other disciples were watching outside the arena. Duel like this has often been held once a week to test the strength of everyone. Any challenger may set the rules, and the recipient of the challenge may refuse at the outset but be barred from withdrawing from the agreement agreed by both parties, unlike the challenger who can resign before the duel is held.
Mars is ready with his horses, sharp eyes will not let himself off guard. The other coaches watching from upstairs also focused on both. Although their strength was unbalanced, but a duel without weapons was always considered a draw within the arena.
“You angry?” mars asked as they were spinning in the ring.
“Yes, no need for you to ask my anger.” Archer with an expressionless face.
“Alright, even though I haven't recovered. I will beat you!”
This battle relied solely on martial arts. Faster Mars is indeed superior, but the technique used by Archer is much better than Mars. Some bruises on the face decorate the face of Mars. The gunshot wound appears to be spewing blood again.
Although the spectators were horrified at the sight before them, but it was undeniable that this was an exciting duel. Mars continued to dodge with rapid movements, but Archer could always hit him.
“You gave up?” Asked Archer on Mars who was lying with blood seeping on his back shirt.
“No! I'm still capable!” Mars stood up with his feet standing strong.
“Okey, at least hold on until time runs out!” archer's reply was fierce, ready with a kick that shot quickly into Mars' upper abdomen.
The other coaches who saw this couldn't stop the fight. However, they know there are personal emotions that underlie this fight. They just continued to watch the fight that began to be filled with traces of blood.
They knew that neither would stop until one fell. And their egos are too high to admit defeat or surrender. Even Mars is no longer strong standing upright with his body bent, holding pain in his stomach and back.
Mars raised his gaze at the coach who seemed to still want to beat him up, he leaned his lips spit out blood in his mouth. His hand was ready to launch his fist. Archer who saw the persistence of young people in front of him also did not hesitate to retaliate against the blow.
Until the last moment, Mars fell unconscious. Archer told the man to raise his disciple, he passed away leaving the arena. His steps immediately led him towards the monitoring room. There the Sage is tracking Samantha's whereabouts.
“Still have not found the trace?”
“Nilhil! Looks like the one who brought Samantha was also a mutant. No trace of anything found. But from the investigation found mutant movements around the last place Samantha was.” Sage who could indeed detect the traces of mutants was quite made difficult.
“What is he dangerous?”
“Entahlah, but it can be ascertained if it is not the work of Rosgard. You also know that the news of Samantha's disappearance leaked as soon as we looked for her. And he also directly deployed his men to search. The world has gone awry because this quest involves a lot of mutants!” Archer nodded, he also knew that there were many mutants out there.
“Didn't they have Elgan, would it be faster to know Samantha's whereabouts because of it?” this was what Xavier was worried about, if Elgan were to join this quest, it would obviously be easy to find Samantha's whereabouts.
“No! There's no sound of participation, you know Elgan's not easy to control. Maybe Rosgard is having trouble with that mutant!” it's no secret that Elgan has mental pain.
“I think, even so Elgan should even be on the lookout. His actions are not to be guessed!” Archer never liked the mutant, for what reason, but he felt something was wrong with the mutant.
Sage and Archer had indeed faced Elgan directly, at that time Elgan was only a seven-year-old child who became a Rosgard doll. However, it can be seen from the child's dark black eyes if kept untouched secrets. It makes people around them feel cold.
“Just relax, if the satellite does not find the whereabouts of Samantha, me and Xavier will move directly to look for traces of her whereabouts!” sure Sage who understood his friend's worries.
Can be seen from the trace of emotion in the eyes of the man, Archer was already like a sister to Samantha, it was natural that he was the most angry when he found out if Samantha disappeared.
“You vent your anger on Mars?” not getting a reply from Archer, Sage continued, “you know if the child also feels guilty, you also know if the child has different emotions towards Samantha!”
While Mars is now conscious, his wound is being bandaged back because the previous bandage was already full of blood. The medical team also felt concerned about the state of Mars, he was injured and increasingly injured with many bruises on his body. Archer, that man is really angry.
“You should keep your wounds dry!” the warning from the nurse only got a nodding response from Mars.
The man closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking he was too tired to get up. He rested his body in the treatment room.
Until the dark sky replaces noon, Mars just woke up from his sleep. He decided to go back to his room. But his steps turned towards the horse stable outside the room. He approached River, Samantha's favorite horse. Took the grass to feed River, but the horse refused.
“You're not hungry? Your clicker is fierce! He'll be mad if he finds out you're spoiled like this!” he said that either River understands or doesn't understand.
“I want to look for it, but with this wound of mine, I can't!” mars is angry with himself.
Mars sits on dry straw, he is currently only cluttered with small lanterns on the pole of the cage. Mars recalls last night's events, believing the people he faced were not mutants, they were just people running underworld businesses.
From the information he got last night made it easier for Sage to track down people involved in human trafficking, but all he had to pay was to lose Samantha.
The cover used by human traffickers was also revealed by the intelligence agency. Because of the news, making the perpetrators become a fog. Plus the search for Samantha also makes the mutants come out to the surface. The world is fucked out there.
The quiet English city, turned a little chaotic with the number of cases that suddenly appeared. Deaths from mutant attacks were also quite troublesome for them. Even Samantha's father went to England as soon as he heard of the chaos in the country.
“Hey what are you doing, dude?” asked Brian who was standing next to River, rubbing the horse's head which got a dislike response from River.
“Hey this horse is aggressive once!” brian protested because he had never been able to ride Samantha's horse.
“He knows you're aggressive towards women, he doesn't want you to touch!” mars taunted his friend.
“Cih!” Brian squealed, then sat down on the hay.
“You think of Samantha?”
Mars replied in silence, he was looking for a way to get out of here. Since it was clear that his sentence would last up to a month, he would not be allowed to leave the House of Talent for whatever reason.
“Just relax, Uncle Sage will look for Samantha's trail with his instincts. If the satellite finds no trace of the girl, then Uncle Sage's instincts can definitely find her!” yep! What Brian said was true, Uncle Sage was the greatest mutant trail finder with his computer-like brain abilities.
“Why can't Xavier connect with Samantha?” this question is also a question many people are looking for the existence of Samantha.
“Yes, I'm confused too. Samantha and Xavier are often connected, is it possible that a more powerful mutant kidnapped Samantha?!” asked Brian in a loud voice to the surprise of the horses, the horses so shrieked Because of Brian's voice.
Brian closed his mouth, surprised as well. He did not intend to shout like that, he was just too enthusiastic about his thoughts. Mars just shook his head and left Brian, Brian chasing his friend's step, but ill-fated he did not have the power like Mars.
“Hey, even if you get sick, you're still fast!” brian grumbled annoyed.
