Rex leaves Adhara to herself, he thinks that Adhara will probably be like that until the Dark Moon arrives.
Rex and Rosie left Adhara alone and went to their usual place around the middle of the training hall.
The lecturers, vice-principals, and principals are already seated on their sit,
The match is about to begin, the referee goes inside the Arena and declared loudly, “We will resume the tournament! The students that are called please get inside the Arena”
The matching board started to roll again,
“Next match! Ivy from class 1-D and Logan from class 1-C”, the referee announced before a blue-haired woman with a dashing light blue armor walks gracefully to the Arena.
She is waving to the crowd with a gentle smile,
The crowd especially the guy becomes hectic after getting a wave from Ivy,
“YOU GO, PRINCESS!!”
“SHE WAVES AT ME!!”
“LOOK!! She wears her famous armor, Blue Current!!”
Rex was intrigued, Class 1-D rarely interact with other classrooms because they are a privileged student so they are trained very hard by the university.
Rex approaches a guy beside him and asks, “Who is she? Why is she so famous?”
The guy didn’t even turn his head to Rex as he answers, “Did you live in a cave or something? She is a celebrity, she is in the entertainment industry, movie and stuff”
The guy is unwilling to look at Rex by sacrificing his time to look at Ivy,
‘Huh…My bad’, he smiles wryly before focusing back on the Arena.
Rex looks at Ivy and Logan’s stats and shakes his head, ‘One is a peak-rank three, the other is an early-rank three’
Ivy is standing in the Arena like a goddess, she still has a gentle smile on her face even after her opponent is standing in front of her.
Her opponent didn’t stand out in any way, Logan even has a nervous expression on his face.
The referee stands beside both of them and said, “The rules are still the same as before, no life-threatening blow, knock your opponent out of the Arena or surrendering to become a winner”
After the referee saw the both of them nod, “BEGIN!!”
Before Logan can even concentrate his mana, Ivy already arrived in front of him with her fist covered in a blue aura.
“Eh?”, Logan was still processing what just happened when suddenly,
BAM!!
Ivy’s fist landed solidly on Logan’s face, If one looks closely they will saw a tiny water explosion just after the hit landed.
Logan was sent flying away crashing to the ground outside of the Arena,
The referee looks at Logan before announcing, “Winner, Ivy Larson!”
“WOOWW!!”
“THAT’S OUR PRINCESS!!”
“NO GIRL CAN MATCH OUR PRINCESS’ POWER!!”
The crowd burst into cheers, the guy is racing with each other to give more praises to Ivy.
Ivy looks at the crowd while raising her arms, she then winks cutely to the crowd making the guy’s heart melt because of her cuteness.
Rex was standing still while folding his arms, ‘That’s as expected, her power is way above that Logan guy’
After the match ended, Ivy got down from the Arena but suddenly her eyes met with Rex’s.
Her expression turns weird for a second before returning to her usual gentle smile expression, the change in expression was caught by Rex.
‘Seems like she hates me too because of the field test’, Rex thought sighing.
“Rosie, you ready? I got a feeling you’re up next”, Rex said while teasing Rosie a bit by poking her waist with his elbow.
Rosie was annoyed and replied, “Stop that! Just see as I shock you with my power”, she scoffed loudly but inside she felt nervous, especially when she is only an early rank three.
“Alright, I’ll watch over you”, Rex said before his eyes glister to look at Rosie’s stats,
<rosie></rosie>
Race: Human
Power: Early Rank Three – Wind Elementalist
Mental: 21
Strength: 19 (+5)
Agility: 30 (+5)
Endurance: 12 (+10)
Intelligence: 33
‘Well she did improve tremendously, I think she will manage as long as the enemy is not a peak rank three’, Rex thought.
The matching board starting to roll again, the roll felt longer to Rosie for some reason but then suddenly the matching board stops.
The name the matching board displayed makes the surrounding students silent,
“Next match, Rosie from class 1-B and Adhara from class 1-C please get inside the ring”, the referee said loudly breaking the silent atmosphere.
The words sent lightning to Rosie’s mind, she was stunned.
Her mind went blank for a while, “Eh? ADHARA?!”, she shouted feeling shocked.
Rex was also shocked beside Rosie, ‘Out of all the students that are in here, she has to fight Adhara’, Rex thought, feeling sorry for Rosie.
“It’s okay, just do your best”, Rex said trying to cheer Rosie on although it sounds dry.
Rosie glances at Rex and saw a gist of doubt in Rex’s expression, she gritted her teeth and walks to the Arena.
“A fight between Rex’s girlfriend and his mistress is about to begin”
“Mistress? Adhara? Why did you say that?”
“Well, I saw Rex flirting with Adhara. Forget it, even thinking about it makes me mad”, the guy thought with a scene where Adhara got choked with a satisfied expression seeps past his mind.
Rosie arrives at the Arena with cold feet, she held her sword tightly as she saw Adhara enters the Arena with a calm look.
“Should I go easy on you?”, Adhara said calmly.
Hearing this, Rosie gritted her teeth in frustration.
Rosie knows that Adhara is way stronger than her, especially when she knows that Adhara got almost half of the points during the field test alone by killing countless Skeletons.
Rosie then gets into her battle stance as she replies, “You better not regret going easy on me”
Adhara scoffed, “Please, Don’t overestimate yourself”
Rex got closer to the Arena just in case, he feels that Adhara is not her usual self because of the Dark Moon approaches.
Rex looks at Adhara’s stats and widened his eyes,
<adhara alpenore=””></adhara>
Race: Half-Werewolf (Silverstar)
Power: Mid Rank Three – Fire Elementalist
Mental: 32
Strength: 26 (+7)
Agility: 30 (+5)
Endurance: 23 (+3)
Intelligence: 40
Looking at Adhara’s stats, Rex was shocked.
‘She improve drastically from last time, her physical abilities raise so much is probably because of becoming a half-Werewolf’, Rex thought but seeing her intelligence, Rex knows Adhara is probably working hard.
“The same rules applied to both of you”, the referee said as both Rosie and Adhara nodded their head.
Just as the Referee wanted to start the match, Adhara stopped him and said, “Wait, just to be fair”
Adhara stripped her armor off,
This scene makes Rosie’s eyes widened in shock, “You!”, Rosie felt hurt, she thought that Adhara and she are close but who would’ve thought she mocks her this much.
The students watching are also gasping in surprise,
“She’s that confident huh?”
“Well, they have a beef with each other so this seems right”
“Did you forget? Adhara and Rex is like an unstoppable duo during the field test compared to Rosie who passed out cold during the field test, she is more compatible with Rex”
“Oh yeah! Now that you said it, this will be an easy win for Adhara”
A woman sitting on the vice-principals seat is looking at Adhara with interest, her eyes are blazing with passion as she looks at Adhara.
The referee looks at Adhara, “Are you sure?”
Adhara nodded her head before the referee shouted loudly, “BEGIN!!”
Swifty after the referee start the battle, Adhara already condensed fire mana on her hands and shouted, “Burning Scimitars!!”
Immediately after,
Sixteen scimitars appeared above Adhara, the scimitars are circling around above Adhara’s head like a hawk stalking at its prey.
Her Burning Scimitars becomes stronger than before,
During the field test, she can only summon up to 12 scimitars but now it increased to 16 scimitars.
Rosie can feel the power behind the scimitars, the condensed mana is more powerful than anything she comes up with.
Adhara points one of his fingers to Rosie,
One fire scimitar that is circling above her head suddenly jolted, it then spins its body making a burning blaze of fire heading towards Rosie.
WHOOSH!!
Rosie gritted her teeth and shouted, “Dual Wind Blade!!”
Wind Mana converges onto Rosie’s hands, she then slashes both of her hands towards the burning scimitars.
SWOOSH!!
Two wind blades slashed the air and went straight to the burning scimitars, Adhara smiles mockingly seeing Rosie’s attempt.
Both attacks collided with each other,
Contrasting with what Rosie expect, the wind blades that collided with the burning scimitars immediately dissipated as the burning scimitars becomes even bigger than before.
Her eyes went round in surprise, “Boost!”, the wind element gathers at Rosie’s feet as she rolls to the side avoiding the burning scimitars.
BOOM!!
The ground exploded because of the scimitars, the impact sent shockwaves to the surrounding even managing to push Rosie to the edge of the Arena.
‘Adhara has a natural counter to Rosie, Fire will only become stronger against the wind element. I’m afraid she can’t win this’, Rex thought.
Rosie got up from the ground, ‘I’m too weak, Adhara is way stronger than even I anticipated’
“Are you feeling like giving up now?”, Adhara said calmly, in her eyes Rosie is not even an opponent that can make her go serious.
Without even answering Adhara,
Rosie musters the wind element around her as her body glows with a green hue, she then imbued her sword with wind elements.
The sword on Rosie’s hand glows green, the sharpness of the sword increased because of the wind element.
SWOOSH!!
She dashes like a gust of wind, her speed is faster than before making the lower-ranking students unable to see her movement.
Adhara saw this as she waves her hand sending the burning scimitars towards Rosie,
Rosie spent her all on this attempt, her sense is put to the max as she dodges each of the scimitars thrown at her.
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
Rosie dodges each of the attacks by propelling herself left and right, she managed to avoid all of the scimitars because of her speed.
“Futile attempt”, Adhara said.
She held her hands up and slam it down sending six scimitars towards Rosie simultaneously,
Seeing this, Rosie gather the wind element below her feet as she jumped avoiding all six of the scimitars.
Adhara was quite surprised but then,
Rosie who is in mid-air suddenly kicks the air behind her and launches herself towards Adhara’s direction, ‘Let’s use that spell’, she thought as her hands glow bright green.
The wind mana becomes more violent on her hands as if the wind itself becomes alive,
She waves her hand, “Way of Enlil”
Beneath Adharas’s feet wind elements are gathering like crazy, she wanted to dodge the attack but the win gripped her tightly in place almost sucking her in.
“First Stance, Wind Pillar!!”
WHOOSH!!
The ground beneath Adhara exploded with wind element as Adhara propelled upwards,
Before Adhara has the time to recover, Rosie already appeared in front of her with violent wind on her sword,
The wind on her sword exploded violently, Rosie’s eyes turn green as she slashes the air, “Second Stance, Wind Eruption!!”
BOOM!!
Immediately, a wind hurricane that can tear anything apart exploded from her sword heading towards Adhara.
Adhara felt pressured by the hurricane, she can’t dodge the attack in mid-air,
‘I Win!!’, Rosie thought as she saw the hurricane was about to hit Adhara.
Then suddenly Adhara’s surprised expression turns into a grin, the rune on her shoulder glows brightly as she disappeared from her spot.
Rosie landed on the ground and jumped backward while looking left and right trying to find Adhara but she can’t find her,
“Too bad, you’re too slow”, a whisper comes from Rosie’s back.
Rosie snaps her head to the side and saw Adhara was already behind her, her body glows red.
‘When did she?’, Rosie thought in surprise then suddenly,
“Ignite!”
BOOM!!!
