CHAPTER 88
~Jade's POV~
Like every other day, advanced combat training was intense, particularly with Xander. And unlike when we trained with the other Professor in respect to the Mock Trials, this specific class was different.
It was more of brute strength, strategic attacks, using your opponent's weakness against them and taking him or her out within a minute.
At first, everyone thought such training was impossible, but when ten of us attacked Xander, one at a time, he took us out in mere seconds.
The only person who stood a chance and lasted more than fifty seconds was Dean. He, too, was defeated at exactly one minute.
And me, well, I lasted fifty-five seconds against Xander.
Part of which I was sure he only toyed with me and prolonged my ultimate defeat just so he could tease me and watch my face flush considering he had whispered those words to me while he had me pinned against his body before shoving me so hard.
