Chapter 49

These feats were enough to score victories for Blackrock schools if they could manage the way she was used properly on the battlefield

The only issue was, that tactic couldn’t work forever.

As they kept using it, other participants would analyze and find a way to counter it unless they were idiots.

Just as Gustav was analyzing this, it was already happening on the battlefield.

Angy just happened to receive a hit from one of their opponents and ended up almost being sent out of the ring.

Although she wasn’t using her highest speed when the attack hit, the speed she was using was still higher than that of everyone’s so she shouldn’t have been hit.

The reason for this was, they were starting to predict her movement patterns after she managed to successfully land hits on two of their teammates and sent them out of the ring.

Another thing Gustav had noticed was Angy was not decisive enough when she wanted to hit an opponent. When it came to hitting people she would hesitate which usually affected her movement for a moment.

She had been battling softly since the beginning by only pushing them out of the ring with her speed but she hadn’t truly hit anyone hard and this was kind of affecting her efficiency but she didn’t notice.

Reflection Academy had stronger participants but now that two of their teammates had been thrown out of the battle ring, it was only a matter of time before they lost.

On Echelon Academy side they were doing pretty well too.

Unlike the first school they faced that had a strong Captain, this one only had an average one.

It took them no longer than ten minutes to end the battle and became the first to win the second round again.

"Echelon Academy wins!"

When this announcement was made for the second time, the students spectating had no doubts about Echelon Academy’s prowess being one of the highest if not the highest here.

Those that knew the history of Echelon Academy weren’t surprised since it was said to be where some powerful and well-known MBO officers graduated from.

The principals of other schools were among the spectators that weren’t surprised by their prowess.

Atrihea city’s principal created the exchange of knowledge event just so Atrihea city could win at least one of the two events that took place but now it was looking like he would be disappointed.

Some minutes after Echelon Academy won Atrihea City high school also won their duel.

Everyone’s power level on their team was pretty much balanced.

Their bloodlines complimented each other and were able to cover up the weakness of their teammates.

The other team from Salvation Academy had a bloodline user with a pretty insane power level. He had an A-grade bloodline.

He could transform into a mutated bear that had the ability to restructure the distribution of force.

A lot of the participants from Atrihea city high team couldn’t harm him with their abilities at first.

No matter how they hit, it just wouldn’t be powerful enough to make him flinch. This was because he was controlling the energy of the force around him hence making their attacks weaker before they could touch him.

He could also amplify the force behind his attack.

The captain of the team, Zim, studied him to discover his flaw when he noticed that they wouldn’t be able to defeat him easily.

What he figured out was the speed of the creature the opponent transformed into was lacking so he devised a plan and worked in accordance to it with his teammates.

They avoided him and focused on dealing with the other teammates first.

After that was done all of them attacked him at the same time. Of course, it would be impossible for him to reduce the force of every single attack coming from up to seven people around him.

Eventually, he was beaten up and thrown out of the ring.

The last school to win was Blackrock school and it took them quite some time even after Angy had assisted in defeating the two weakest teammates from the opposing team earlier.

Angy was still hailed as the most supportive teammate and everyone had to admit that she was the reason the team was still able to hold on.

Now that three more teams had been defeated only three were left.

Echelon Academy, Atrihea city high, and Blackrock school.

The principal announced that there would be a few minutes break for the participants to rest before the commencement of the third round.

"Let’s go see Angy," Lim grabbed Gustav’s right arm while standing up, pulling him along with her.

"Alright," Gustav said while standing up.

Elle and Arianna exchanged glances before also standing up and following behind the both of them.

They walked towards where the participants were positioned which was beneath the spectators seats.

They could already spot Angy in the distance and she just happened to spot them too.

She was clad in all black, same with the rest of the participants from Blackrock schools.

Angy started waving excitedly at them but when she noticed Lim holding onto Gustav’s hand as they approached, she pouted her lips and walked towards them.

When she arrived in front of them she immediately jumped into Gustav’s embrace causing his hand to be released from Lim’s grip.

Gasp!

The crowd surrounding them we’re surprised at the sudden intimacy.

’Gustav and Angy are dating?’ This was the thought circulating in their minds at the moment after Angy did that.

Even Gustav was surprised by the sudden hug.

Although this wasn’t the first time, he was still surprised since his life wasn’t in any form of danger this time.

"Did I do well?" She asked Gustav with a sweet smile after disengaging from him.

"Hnm, you did well," Gustav replied with a smile too.

The moment looked magical since Gustav wasn’t the type to smile all the time except he was up to something mischievous.

"This is all thanks to you," Angy stated.

"Hmm? Me?" Gustav asked with a look of confusion.

"Hnm," Angy nodded in reply, "Have you forgotten those nights?" She asked.

Gasp!

Another loud gasp was heard from the crowd surrounding them.

’They spend nights together?’ Hearing that gave the crowd a lot to think of especially those from Blackrock school who didn’t know about Gustav being her neighbor.

Angy happened to be popular among her peers in Blackrock school so this came as a surprise to most of them who saw her as an angel that would never fall for any guy.

The male students who were secretly admirers cursed themselves for not having the guts to approach her all this time.

"Oh," Gustav muttered with a smile. He remembered those nights he spent observing the neighborhood with her were mostly mixed-breed free due to his calculations so instead of lazying around, he decided to give Angy speed tasks to help her improve the usage of her ability.

Gustav hadn’t thought anything of it but Angy was really grateful and believed her current improvement was due to that.

"It’s all you... You don’t need to thank me," Gustav said with a dismissive look while Angy smile broadened even more.

Due to the eyes surrounding them, they decided to move their conversations somewhere else.

They found a place within the training ground to speak.

After an hour had gone by the announcement was made for the continuation of the duel.

Gustav advised Angy not to push herself too much. He didn’t bother trying to tell her to be ruthless when attacking her opponents because he knew a person’s nature wasn’t so easily changed.

Angy’s nature just happened to be the soft kind.

After the spectating students took their seats the third round commenced.

Echelon Academy would be going against Atrihea city high while Blackrock school would be sitting this one out.

The principal explained that the loser gets to battle Blackrock school and if the participants from Blackrock school were to win, they’d get the chance to battle for the first place.

After everything was explained, the principal gave the go-ahead for the duel to begin.

"Echelon Academy Vs Atrihea city high!"

It was practically red versus blue.

On the left side, Echelon Academy participants were laced in full red bodysuits while Atrihea city high participants were laced in Blue.

The battle went off with the seven students going against each other.

Gustav watched from his seating position with a look of boredom.

Unlike the rest who were intrigued about knowing which school was going to win, Gustav already had a school picked as the winner in his mind.

Even though he watched with a bored look he still analyzed the details of the battle as it played out.

Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast!

The entire vicinity echoed with blasts as the battle continued.

On a side of the battle ring, two students with similar bloodlines were duking it out.

Both of them could enlarge different parts of their bodies.

They would occasionally enlarge their arms before throwing a fist.

When the huge enlarged fists made contact with one another, the sound was like two rocks smashing onto one another.

Although it looked like they were even in terms of strength, Gustav already noticed that the one in red had the upper hand in fighting techniques.

On another side, a girl who materialized a blue energy tank with several mega cannons kept firing a blue blast at a large rocky-looking two-meter-tall creature. That creature was a mixed-blood.

The battles occurring at every part of the ring were fierce.

At this time the captain of Echelon Academy, Andrew, was going against two participants at a time. Surprisingly he was able to hold them off on his own.

One would wonder where the seventh participant of Echelon Academy was located since they couldn’t be found on the battlefield but in the next minute an explosion rang out.

Boom!

Two participants in blue were thrown out of the ring due to the Intense explosion.

Dust spread everywhere from the point of impact.

With that Atrihea city high had lost two participants but since they still had students in the ring they could send one of their substitutes in.

The person who was responsible for the explosion was the seventh student who had been hiding beneath the ground since.

No one saw him enter the ground at the beginning of the match because the girl who could create energy cannons covered his actions up when she did that.

The participants of Atrihea city high had been suspicious when they noticed that someone had disappeared from the ring but they weren’t given the chance to think about it since they were attacked fiercely by the opponents.

The attacks of these six were on par with a team of seven so they had no choice but to fight.

The missing participant had a bloodline that enabled him to use his body and create some special bombs that served as a kind of landmine.

Two of the participants that were battling Andrew earlier before being disqualified, stepped on the ground where it was inserted and both of them were blasted out of the ring with hideous-looking injuries on their bodies.

Two substitutes were sent in to replace them after that but even with that, the tide of the battle had turned.

Atrihea city’s high participants had to tread the battle ring with caution now.

They had no idea where bombs had been set on the battleground and no one wanted to end up like those two.

Also, Andrew was an example that the bombs wouldn’t detonate if a student of Echelon Academy stepped on any part of the land where it was positioned.

The fight continued as the Atrihea city high participants decided to gather together in a particular part of the ring where they wouldn’t take a step forward or backward.

They formed a kind of circle at the southeast part of the ring with their backs facing one another.

They wanted to protect themselves from stepping on a landmine hence the reason for this action.

The battle continued and no explosions were heard for several minutes after they made this decision.

All of a sudden one of them who was sensitive to sound, shouted for everyone to move away but before they could respond, another blast rang out.

Boom!

Three participants who were not able to escape in time were sent flying out of the ring.

One of them was blasted into the air but still within the ring. While he was falling to the ground, captain Andrew leaped upwards and thrust out his leg.

Bam!

His right feet slammed into the belly of a participant while still in mid-air causing his body to be sent flying out of the ring.

Gasp!

-"Captain Zim was defeated just like that?"

-"Atrihea high is finished!"

The person who had just been kicked out was the captain of the team.

Andrew never engaged him till now. He left the captain to Yuhiko all this time and Yuhiko did a good job of keeping him at bay.

What Atrihea city high participants didn’t know from the start was, the bombs underneath the ground could move at will and change their positions if the person responsible for putting them there, wanted that to happen.

This was the major reason behind the disaster that had just happened.

The captain of Atrihea city high glared at the ring furiously upon being sent out of it. He wanted to get back in but the blue force that surrounded the ring held him back.

He still had enough strength to fight because his Bloodline protected him from getting injured by the blast but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

He had a look of frustration as he walked back to where the rest of substitutes and disqualified participants were seated.

It didn’t take up to three minutes before the last participants of Atrihea city high were thrown out.

Echelon Academy had won the duel again.

Everyone was surprised again because they expected Echelon Academy participants to really have a hard time.

To their surprise, it wasn’t all that too difficult for them.

The principal of Atrihea city school sighed from his seating position.

He had expected this to happen but it was still humiliating nevertheless for a school from another city to defeat them in their own city.

Now that Echelon Academy had won this round again, everyone knew that they had practically won.
