“She should have waited for the announcer to finish speaking before jumping out of her seat. Instead, she decaded she would rather act like a hooligan.” Kain crossed his arms and our eyebrow twitched.
Jason walked up behind Alora in time to hear what his cousins were saying. He was highly amused and knew Alora to be when the burst into laughter. Alora’s voice was like music, the notes were filled with her emotions.
Those emotion laden notes wrapped around those in hearing distance, filling them with Alora’s feelings of amusement. Jaxon could almost see them, it was interesting. laxon also saw the emotions in the eyes of his twin cousins.
He knew what those looks meant, because he was feeling the same emotions those looks spoke of Kain and Galen had the
Alpha they wanted to serve as their Delta Enforcers. Then Galen and Kain finally noticed Jaxon was behind Alora and waved a hello at him.
Jaxon nodded, acknowledging their greeting. “Did you two see that Sarah challenged Alora?” He asked the twins.
Kain and Galen looked at Alora with matching expressions of surprise. “Really?” They asked in unison.
Alora nodded. “She did.”
“How do you feel about that?” Galen asked Alora.
Alora shrugged, then with a half grin said, “I’m kind of looking forward to it.”
“That’s if Sarah even wins her first fight.” Serenity said, her voice coming from behind Jaxon.
Jaxon and Alora turned to look at Serenity at the same time, but it was Jaxon who asked. “What do you mean?”
“Sarah, while ranked in the top five of the Enforcer fighter class, has to fight someone in the top five of the Delta class or the
Beta class in order to fight Alora.” Serenity explained.
“Why?” Garrett asked.
Hand on her hips, Darien’s arm around her shoulders, Serenity huffed adorably as she glared at the others. “Were none of you paying attention to our VP while she was explaining the rules of the challenge?”
1/3 her first fight.”
Every male of the Alpha Class but Darien started to shuffle and look off in a different direction with various expressions of guilt.
“It’s not that they were not paying attention to our VP.” Alora said, and all heads snapped in her direction, their expressions now a combination of panic and embarrassment. “It’s that they were paying attention to how gorgeous our VP is, instead of what she was saying.”
Serenity’s glare had more than one male look at her with apologetic faces. With a snort she said. “It figures.” With a shake of her head her gaze focused on Garret and began to explain,
“The rules are… you are allowed to challenge two fighters to advance your rank. For your first fight, the fighter you challenge can’t be ahead of you by more than two fight classes. They also must be within five rank placements of your own rank in your fight class. If you win your first challenge, the rules of the challenge will adhere to your new fight class and tank.”
“What happens if you fail your first challenge?” Mason asked,
Serenity turned to Mason to answer. “If you fail your first challenge, and your second challenge is outside your current fight class and rank, your second challenge will be canceled, and you won’t advance.”
Lexus raised a hand, his fingers half curled. “What happens if you win the first, but fail the second?”
Turning her head. Serenity again looked directly at the one who asked her a question and answered. “If you win the first challenge, but fail the second, you remain in the same fight class and rank that you advanced to in the first round.”
“Meaning Alora will only get to fight Sarah if she wins her first fight.” Jaxon said with a sigh, repeating Serenity’s earlier statement.
“Exactly.” Serenity said with a bright smile.
“Did anyone see who Sarah’s first challenge was?” Mason asked.
“No, I only happened to look because it had Sarah challenging Alora.” Jaxon said.
Several more “nos’ later and everyone looked at Serenity with questioning expressions. Serenity looked at each one of them in turn in silence.
Finally, Serenity shrugged and said, “I think Sarah was wanting to play it safe so she could challenge Alora. Her first fight is with the fourth ranked Sighter of the Delta Class”
Jamison let out a startled laugh, and when everyone turned his way explained. “I only know who the male is that you are talking about, because he is in my science class. I caught him and Sarah doing the deed in an empty classroom one day.”
“Ewwww.” Serenity said, cringing.
“Doesn’t surprise me.” Alora said placidly.
