The holographic screen flickered once more, displaying the next matchup:
[Jayden Starrk, Class 3-C vs. Jessica Smith, Class 3-C]
[Modifier: Ability]
Before the other students could even make comments, Jessica groaned dramatically, slumping back in her seat. "Oh, come on!"
Jayden smirked. "Guess we're up."
Jessica shot him a deadpan look. "Yeah, no. I'm not fighting you." she chuckled. Having witnessed Jayden's strength forehand and seen what he could 'really' do, she knew there was no chance she could win against him in a fight. She was even starting to conclude that Jayden could defeat Tasha and Cassandra in a fight.
The crowd murmured in surprise as Jessica stood up and stretched, then waved a hand dismissively toward Mrs. Valerie. "I forfeit!"
A few students gasped.
"What?!"
"Jessica, you can't just—"
"But you're one of the strongest in our class!"
