A group of students gathered around a certain spot in the training grounds. There was a lot of cheering and the raw enthusiasm of the crowd was overwhelming. The reason for this was obvious: Two of the three rank 8's, the second highest ranking in the school, were engaged in a sparring match.

Well, it was a sparring match to them, but to everyone else, they were engaged in serious combat. The power coming from their blows was no joke, and the crowd kept a good distance away from them to avoid being injured. 

Shelly Harttman, an adept Avatar user was defending the rapid and powerful attacks from Anya Einstein. The third and last rank 8, Hansel Harttman was watching in the sidelines.
