Because of the standoff between the two, the few new students 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, Carmilla 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 new students?
"Not bad." Sumire was very satisfied. On one hand, Annie's combat skills were indeed very strong.
On the other hand, she finally recalled Carmilla Black's true identity—
Carmilla 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... Sumire didn't have a deep impression of her, only remembering two things.
The first thing was why Camilla was the third generation Scorpion—
