Because of the standoff between the two, the few rebirths who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, and several even ran back to crowd the edge of the area to watch the fun.
They also wanted to know which of these two equally aggressive girls was stronger.
There was no referee, no countdown.
The two moved almost simultaneously.
Camilla's movements were bizarre and supple, truly like a slick venomous snake.
She lunged forward, her legs wrapping directly around Annie's waist, attempting to take Annie down by shifting their center of gravity. However, Annie's stance was extremely stable; she didn't retreat but instead pressed forward with the momentum, crashing directly into Camilla's embrace.
"Bang," came a dull thud.
The two bodies, both brimming with youthful vigor, immediately became entangled.
They tumbled onto the thick rubber mat.
Their faces were almost touching, the hot air from their breaths spraying near each other's ears.
"Quite strong... Blondie," Camilla gritted her teeth and whispered a provocation into her ear.
Annie didn't speak. Her azure eyes remained terrifyingly calm. She took advantage of the opening when Camilla exerted force, her waist and abdomen suddenly bursting with astonishing power, forcefully breaking free from the lock. She then turned the tables, pressing down on Camilla herself.
The situation reversed.
Annie knelt with one knee between Camilla's slender legs, using the positional advantage and her own weight to pin down Camilla's hips. She grabbed Camilla's right hand, firmly nailing it to the rubber floor, while her other hand choked her fragile throat.
Annie looked down at the girl beneath her from above. Due to the intense movement just now, a few strands of her originally neat, pinned-up blonde hair had come loose, swaying gently with her breathing, brushing against Camilla's cheek, which was flushed with embarrassment and annoyance.
"It's over," Annie's voice was still cool, only the slight rise and fall of her chest betrayed the fact that she had also exerted considerable effort.
Pinned underneath, Camilla couldn't move. She looked at Annie, who was so close.
Since birth, Camilla Black had never encountered a peer who could challenge her.
This feeling of being overshadowed brought her an unprecedented sense of humiliation, but beneath that, looking into Annie's azure eyes, which were as indifferent as if looking at a pile of trash, an unfamiliar shiver crawled up her spine from her tailbone.
It inexplicably made her cheeks burn even hotter.
"Hmph." Camilla turned her head away, letting out a displeased snort through her nose.
Her tense body finally went limp, ceasing the futile struggle.
In just two moves, the victor was decided.
The silence in the training hall was finally broken.
No one spoke, only the sound of gasps for air rising and falling.
They originally thought Camilla was very strong, capable of beating the instructor into the infirmary.
But it turned out Camilla couldn't last three rounds under Annie's hands.
There are still experts?
Are the two of them really just rebirths?
"Not bad." Su Modie was very satisfied. On one hand, Annie's combat skills were indeed very strong.
On the other hand, she finally recalled Camilla Black's true identity—
Camilla Black (Doesn't this look familiar?)
She was the third generation Scorpion in the comics.
Yes, Scorpion, the one who wears green armor and is often beaten up by Spider-Man.
One of the permanent members of the Sinister Six.
It's just that Camilla is the third generation, and actually doesn't have much of a connection with Spider-Man.
She is the biological daughter of Monica Rappaccini, the'Supreme Scientist' of A.I.M., which stands for Advanced Idea Mechanics.
Calling her a daughter is more accurate to say she is a product of Monica's genetic modification experiments.
She is a very obscure, rebellious young female character.
The same short hair, the same venomous nature, the same hairstyle, the same mask, the same shade of green, the same Agent status, and she can even spray poison from her hands.
Later, S.H.I.E.L.D. made Camilla an undercover Agent to infiltrate Advanced Idea Mechanics... Yes, if you live long enough, you can even see S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltrating other organizations instead of being infiltrated by them... Su Modie didn't have a deep impression of her, only remembering two things.
The first thing was why Camilla was the third generation Scorpion—
This wasn't because she was related to Mac Gargan; it was purely because of her mother's experiments that Camilla gained the ability to absorb toxins and use them for attack.
During that period, the original Scorpion, Mac Gargan, was possessed by the symbiote and became the new Venom.
Scorpion Venom
This left the title of 'Scorpion' vacant.
Thus, the newly emerged Camilla casually took over this unclaimed codename.
Later, Mac Gargan planned to sell his experience to Hollywood to make a fortune from a biographical film. However, he worried that Camilla, currently causing trouble under the 'Scorpion' name, would ruin his IP value, so he aggressively showed up to cause trouble.
The result? This veteran villain, along with Venom, was soundly beaten by Camilla.
Not only did she not reclaim the title, but the old senior also completely lost face.
Yes, although the name sounds a bit like 'Little Camilla,' Camilla is actually quite strong.
Since Camilla's comic book appearances are a bit old and I couldn't find any good pictures, everyone can just picture her as a younger version of Viper; the look is identical anyway.
The second thing was that Su Modie remembered Camilla's little-known background: she was Banner's daughter.
This time it was truly a biological father... It was rumored that Monica and Banner had a passionate romance during their university days.
After they parted ways, Monica became even more obsessed with biological experiments. She used preserved genetic samples of Banner, combined them with her own Genes, and engineered Camilla in the lab while she was still in the womb... Is that believable?
Su Modie looked at Camilla through Annie's eyes, hesitating on whether to tell her this earth-shattering secret.
"Hey, sister, that green giant smashing things on TV is actually your long-lost biological father."
...Never mind.
Camilla probably wouldn't believe her, and might even think Su Modie was insulting her.
Furthermore, the relationship between Su Modie's Villainesses and Dr. Banner... was quite 'nuclear-friendly'.
In the previous battle in Harlem, Reze shifting the blame greatly angered the Hulk, and Perona made him lose face with her Negative Ghost.
They directly caused Banner not to hide as he did in the original plot until he was recruited by Natasha in 2012, but instead to be directly contained and imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D.—this was what Makima found in the S.H.I.E.L.D. network.
It's hard to imagine what expression the Hulk would have if he met those two again... Returning to the Training Ground.
Since Annie let go, Camilla also got up from the ground.
She rubbed her wrist, which Annie had hurt earlier, and mumbled awkwardly, "...You win this time."
After speaking, she didn't wait for Annie to respond and fled the training hall.
Annie didn't say anything either.
She didn't care much about winning or losing anyway. Under the awestruck gazes of the other trainees, she turned and headed toward the assigned Dormitory Building.
The living conditions at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy were quite good, following the tradition of American universities, mostly double occupancy dorms.
Annie found Room 303 according to the room number on the key.
"Click."
She pushed the door open.
However, the moment the door opened, the air solidified again.
Hearing the door open, her 'Roommate,' who was taking out earphones to listen to music, looked up.
Black hair, green highlights, and a look of annoyance.
It was Camilla, who had been pinned to the floor by Annie just ten minutes ago.
The two stared at each other, frozen at the doorway.
Annie's hand was still on the doorknob, unable to step in or retreat.
The earphones in Camilla's hand were suspended in mid-air.
The two girls stared at each other in the awkward atmosphere for a long time.
Neither could manage to utter a 'hello' or 'what a coincidence'.
Finally, both withdrew their gazes; one silently tidied the bed, and the other silently put on her earphones to listen to music.
Watching the two figures occupying opposite corners of the room, ignoring each other, Su Modie was quite speechless.
How did this massive S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy manage to put this pair of 'Sleeping Dragons and Phoenixes' in the same dorm?
Isn't that quite a coincidence?
Well, thinking about it carefully, it wasn't a coincidence at all.
There were only two female students in the entire combat academy freshman class... However, Su Modie quickly thought, this might not be a bad thing.
Annie was a Villainess, and Camilla was also a typical Villainess.
Perhaps they... would get along well...?
