I don't know when it happened, I was watching at the sidelines like everybody else. I knew the fight was entering its final moments, so I decided to activate my dragon eyes skills.
I could see Monks energy flow, after the ten-minute mark his energy was getting smaller and smaller but when the sword broke and everyone thought it was over, his energy seemed to double in size as he was aiming to grab the pieces of the broken sword. A last-ditch effort to win the match.
That's when my body started to move on its own. Suddenly I was directly by Monk's and Gary's side, I reached out my hand and grabbed the wooden like dagger, inches away from Gary's neck.
All three of us were frozen in place for a moment, the crowd was silent. Just seconds ago they were cheering with excitement.
Monk removed his grip from the weapon and started to bow down in front of me and Gary.
"I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me."
What Monk didn't know was I was thinking the exact same thing. I was originally going to let whatever happened in this fight happen. It would have been a lesson for them both in the future.
Monk quickly then used his skills to leave the field silently going through the crowd of people. Gary just stood there in silence, trying to comprehend what just happened.
The crowd of people started to speak amongst themselves.
"So who won the fight?"
"I'm not sure, that red hared kid came in when Gary was about to win."
"What are you on about? Monk was going to win."
The crowd then started to argue over who had won the fight. Some believed that Gary had won, while others supported Monk. In the end though, the anger and hatred in the crowd started to steer towards one person. The person who had stopped the fight.
"Why did that red-haired have to get involved?"
"Perhaps he didn't want to lose all his money?"
Kyle seeing that the crowd was starting to get riled up towards the match, stepped into the centre of the field.
"Hey guys, sorry to say but due to the involvement of a third party member, the match has been voided from official rankings. So don't worry you will all get your money back."
I don't know if Kyle was doing this on purpose or not. But his words just made the people steer their anger more towards me. It seemed like he was just out there to save himself.
As I was standing in the field, a bottle came towards me from the crowd. I moved my head slightly backwards avoiding the bottle. Once the first person threw an item at me, the rest started to join in throwing all sorts of different objects.
It was impossible to avoid all the objects. So instead I simply just let the objects hit me as I walked away from the training field. Walking out from the crowd of people, I made note of every single person who threw something at me. As I would plan my revenge on every single one of them.

Slyvia was standing at the sidelines of the field watching the fight just as carefully as everyone else. When she saw Monk grab the broken pieces of the wooden sword, she knew Gary was in trouble. Just as she was about to shout out the words stop. Ray had already appeared in front of them stopping Monk's weapon with his bare hands.
Slyvia was in disbelief at the sight. She could have sworn that Ray was just by her side a second ago. And before she could even react with words, Ray had already moved and stopped the weapon.
"Did you see when Ray got over there?" Slyvia asked.
"No, I was too focused on Monk and Gary, he must have been right next to them the whole time," Dan said.
A lot of the students thought the same as Dan, simply that Ray had been moving closer to them while everyone was too focused on the fight, ready to stop the fight at any moment. It was hard to believe that anyone would have been able to move that fast from the sidelines.
Slyvia could see that the crowd was starting to turn on Ray due to his intervention. They simply had not understood that Monk's last strike was lethal and Gary wouldn't have avoided it in time. There were only a few people that were watching the fight that understood what had happened.
Slyvia went and grabbed Kyle by the arm seeing things were starting to get out of control.
"Kyle you have to do something before there's a riot. This is your fault in the first place if you hadn't turned this match into a stupid betting war."
"I know, I'll go out there and explain everything."
Kyle at this moment thought the crowd at any second we're going to turn their attention towards him.
"Hey, guys, sorry to say but due to the involvement of a third party member the match has been voided from official rankings. So don't worry you will all get your money back."
With the crowd's anger now focusing on Ray, Kyle quickly went back to hide in the crowd.
Then out of nowhere, an object was thrown towards Ray. A few seconds later it seemed like everyone was chucking objects at Ray. Slyvia, Ian, Dan, and Martha we're doing the best to try to calm down the crowd of people but nobody was listening. They then started to block some of the objects hitting Ray getting hurt themselves in the process.
When Slyvia turned to look at Ray to see if he was okay she could see a look on his face that frightened her. Rays eyes seemed to have a yellow glow to them, as he carried on walking away from the crowd.
Ray hadn't noticed the involvement of his roommates, for he was focused on every person that had thrown something at him that day.
