As the name would suggest, kickboxing incorporated both the hand-thrown blows typical of<br />

boxing, along with the power kicks, knee strikes, and leg sweeps common to Asian martial arts.<br />

Which, to Ort-Meyer's way of thinking, meant kickboxing was the perfect form of unarmed<br />

combat for the clone-soldiers of the future to master. Each round of the competition would be<br />

supervised by the headmaster, Lazlow. He was a big man, one of the reasons the boys feared<br />

him and always did what they were told. Lazlow wore his hair in a comb-over that failed to<br />

conceal a large bald spot, and he stared out at the world through a pair of Coke-bottle-thick<br />

glasses.<br />

Round one–which was intended as little more than an appetizer–ended quickly as Number 21<br />

threw three rapid-fire volleys of head blows, spun, and delivered a reverse kick to 9's solar<br />

plexus. Then, as the boy known as “Niner” struggled to recover, 21 hammered the youngster to<br />

the floor.<br />

Round two was a bit more entertaining, as the combatants traveled the length and breadth of<br />

the ring before 32 finally managed to run a younger boy into a post, thereby knocking his<br />

opponent unconscious.<br />

That brought up round three as what felt like an ounce of liquid lead trickled into the pit of 47's<br />

stomach and continued to lay there as he scrambled into the ring. Lazlow's expression said that<br />

he already knew who was going to win the third round as he checked to make sure both boys<br />

had their protective mouthpieces, cups, and hand wraps.<br />

“All right,” the headmaster said, as 6 danced around the ring. “Don't kill each other.” And with<br />

that admonition, he was gone.<br />

47 had a plan–a fantasy, really–in which he would find a way to beat 6's defenses down and kick<br />

the other boy in the head. But that's all it was–a fantasy. Which quickly became apparent when<br />

the fight began. Even though both boys were made of the same genetic stuff, it was as if 6 had<br />

been imbued with an extra something that gave the bully a distinct advantage.<br />

While 47 attempted to put Number 6 on the defense with a series of body blows, the other boy<br />

was able to reach around and grab him behind the neck, delivering a series of knee strikes to the<br />

groin.<br />

“Take that, bitch,” 6 said, “and that, and that, and that!”<br />

He was going to lose, that much was certain, so 47 did the only thing he logically could. And<br />

that was to take just enough punishment to make the fight look convincing, take a fall, and<br />

walk away with the fewest number of injuries possible.<br />

But 6 seemed determined to polish his image as the toughest student in the school. So rather<br />

than put his opponent down immediately, he pushed 47 away, and subjected him to a succession<br />

of front kicks, side kicks, and a fancy roundhouse that landed 47 on his back. A blow so hard,<br />

and so well delivered, it left 47 gasping for air.<br />

That brought Ort-Meyer and his associates to their feet as 6 accepted a loud round of applause
