Chapter 48

The students in the spectators’ seat cheered for their favorites as the battle commenced.

On Echelon Academy side, captain Andrew was going against the captain of Redemption high.

Both of them had B-grade bloodlines and were also skilled in using their abilities so it was turning out to be a really fierce battle.

The other Echelon Academy participants clashed with the participants of redemption high.

From the first exchange, the more powerful side was determined.

Apart from the captain of Redemption high, the rest didn’t hold a candle to Echelon Academy participants.

They were gradually being pushed back as the battle progressed.

The captains of both teams were going full ballistic against each other at the moment.

Captain Andrew of Echelon Academy and Captain Romeru of Redemption high.

Andrew had his muscular arms covered in red scales and with four pointy claws.

His legs from his kneecaps downwards also had the same scales and four pointy toes on each foot.

His speed along with his attacks that sliced through the air and created burning effects were still dodged by the captain of the other team.

Captain Romeru had two black wings sprouting out of his back. The wings were black and surprisingly metallic.

At the start of the battle, two long feather-like swords protruded out of his black wings which he grabbed onto and pulled out.

These black feathered-like swords were about four feet in length each.

He had been using them to fight against Andrew since the start of the battle.

His flight speed was very fast, allowing him to dodge most of Andrew’s attack, however, he also couldn’t touch Andrew because the scales covering Andrew’s legs also blessed him with good speed.

Although Andrew speed wasn’t as flexible as Romeru’s due to Romeru having flight ability, he was still able to keep up pretty fine.

They were both quite skilled after all.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Both of them clashed repeatedly causing sounds of metallic collision to echo across the vicinity.

Andrew leaped up and spun diagonally with his claws extending forward, towards Romeru’s chest.

Zwweeiiii!

His sharp claws sliced and burned through the air crazily and fierce.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Romeru placed the feather-like swords in front of himself blocking the multiple spinning swings in mid-air.

Due to Andrew’s claws slamming onto the feathered-like sword repeatedly, the stacked up force caused Romeru to be catapulted backward by a few feet.

A red glow spread from the point of contact to other parts of the feathered-like sword.

The sword broke into two while Romeru was still being catapulted backward.

’Tch, not again,’ He said internally as another two swords started protruding out of his wings behind.

Andrew landed back on his feet after his initial attack and dashed forward at full speed.

Swoooshhh!

He arrived before the catapulting Romeru in an instant and swung his claws towards Romeru’s chest.

Romeru had to stop the process of creating another sword and quickly used his wings to cover himself.

Slash! s***h! Clang! Clang!

The wings perfectly shielded Romeru from the multiple slashes Andrew sent out causing sparks to fly across the place.

His wings became red hot but in a few seconds, they reverted to normal.

Andrew’s claws had a certain kind of burning effect. Once his claws made contact with any hard surface, that hard surface was guaranteed to melt from the high temperature of his claws.

Romeru’s feathered swords had been destroyed repeatedly due to the high temperature that could easily burn through a metal plate but the temperature wasn’t high enough to burn through his wings.

Seeing that his claws were not able to cut through the wings, Andrew slashed downwards towards his Romeru’s leg.

Swoooshhh!

Romeru reacted by flapping his wings and dashing upwards with speed causing the claws to miss him.

Andrew didn’t wait for a second after noticing that his claws didn’t connect.

He leaped upwards immediately.

Fwoosh!

His body traveled across the air, crossing a height of more than five meters in a few seconds.

As he was catching up with Romeru in mid-air he slashed out again from underneath.

At this time Romeru had finished recreating the feathered swords and dragged them out of his wings to clash with Andrew.

Blam!

The sword and the claws clashed just as they crossed the twelve meters mark above the ground.

Bam!

Seeing that his attack was blocked, he kept s***h out severally but Romeru also returned the attacks by swinging at Andrew’s claws repeatedly.

Bam! s***h! Bam! s***h! Bam! s***h! Bam!

Andrew was still able to s***h out a few more times in mid-air before the law of gravity started pulling him downwards.

As he descended Romeru flapped his wings again and followed his descent while swinging out the feathered swords in his left hand.

The sword headed for Andrew’s neck with Intense speed.

It was only a few inches from making contact with his neck as they closed in on the ground.

Andrew raised his right arm to block the Sword and also threw out his left arm.

Slash! Skrryhh!

Romeru’s sword cut three inches deep into Andrew’s right arm while Andrew’s left hand cut three long slashes across Romeru’s chest.

Bang!

They both landed on the ground with their bodies bleeding.

Andrew landed on his back while Romeru landed on his front.

Both of them Immediately jumped back up to their feet after landing in that manner and dashed towards each other again.

It was as if they didn’t feel any pain with the way they stood up and dashed towards each other again with their bodies bleeding profusely.

Just when they were several inches away from making contact with each other again a blue beam suddenly appeared from the right side.

Bam!

It slammed into Romeru’s side catapulting his entire body several hundred feet towards the side.

His wings had blocked a part of the beam due to reflex action but the remaining power was enough to still send him flying.

He stabilized himself after flying towards the side for a few more seconds while blood leaked out of his nose.

He hovered above the ground while checking out the source of the attack.

A blue cannon made of light was standing on the left side of the battle ring.

The attack shot out earlier had come from his blind spot. He was focusing on his battle with Andrew so he didn’t notice it until it was too late.

A long blue-haired beauty sat on the cannon which was currently pointing at him.

"You didn’t think I was the only powerful mixed-blood here did you?" Andrew said with a strong voice.

"Even your impenetrable wings will not be able to stop her cannons from ripping you apart," Andrew said before dashing towards Romeru again.

Romeru figured that one of his teammates was had already been disqualified which was the reason for his current predicament.

Ptoi!

Another beam shot out as he dashed forward also.

Swoooshhh!

He was able to easily dodge the beams now that he knew about them.

Swwoosshh! Ptoi! Swoooshhh! Ptoi!

He dodged the cannon several times as he flew across the air before arriving in front of Andrew.

Another battle commenced but Romeru was not able to fight effectively like before.

He would have to dodge the deadly beams which for some reason couldn’t hurt Andrew even when it made contact with his body.

This made Romeru go from attack to defense.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After trading blows repeatedly one of Andrew’s attacks finally connected with Romeru’s body, blowing him back but before Romeru could stabilize himself, the blue beam slammed into him again while he was still in mid-air.

Bang!

He was once again catapulted towards the left while spitting out blood.

His body was still spiraling in mid-air when he noticed a monstrous-looking green foot suddenly appear from his right side and kicked forward forcefully.

The large foot slammed into his ribs with intensity.

Splurt!

He spat out a mouthful of blood as his ribcage collapse with his body sent flying towards the right.

’Another one,’ Romeru’s eyes were currently spinning with his face showing an expression of pain yet he was still able to analyze a bulky-looking beast with green skin standing on the side.

’Another one of my teammates has lost?’ Romeru said internally as he flapped his wings causing his body to suddenly ascend with speed.

Swoooshhh!

Boom!

A loud explosion rocked the air around him when he reached the height of twenty meters and the strong blast it created sent him tumbling down.

Bang!

Even when his body slammed to the ground he still didn’t know what hit him.

Romeru was also unaware that at this moment all his teammates had been kicked out of the ring and he was the only one left.

Right now it was seven against one.

Romeru was only able to hold on for a few seconds more before he was also sent crashing out of the ring with a battered body full of diverse injuries.

"All teammates of Redemption high have been evicted from the ring!"

"Echelon Academy wins!"

A loud voice that announced the defeat of Redemption high and the win of Echelon Academy reverberated across the training ground.

Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

The students erupted in cheers.

Echelon Academy was the first to defeat their opponents but after a few minutes, other schools were also starting to finish up.

"Atrihea city high wins!"

"Salvation Academy wins!"

As time passes more and more announcements were heard.

"Black Rock schools wins!"

Gustav only clapped when the announcement for Black rock school winning was made.

When Echelon Academy’s win was announced earlier he didn’t even react.

From the spectators’ seat on the east side, he stared at Black rock participants coming out of the battle ring.

"Good job Angy," He muttered with a smile.

"Good job Angy," He said with a slight smile.

Angy happened to be one of the participants representing Black rock schools.

Not only did she participate she was also one of the participants that supported the most during this duel.

Her speed outstripped that of every other participant and her combat power was not lacking either.

Although it still fell far short of Gustav’s prowess it was nothing to scoff at.

Especially in this battle where everyone was slower than she was.

Gustav also noticed that her speed had increased since the last time they raced.

She was able to use a new ability with her bloodline that was also related to speed.

Gustav figured that it was similar to him using sprint however there was a difference.

Angy’s speed was multiplied by four times when she making use of this ability and although she couldn’t maintain it for long before running out of energy, being able to use it for ten seconds was more than enough to cause havoc on the battleground because it was more than two times of Gustav’s speed when he activated sprint.

Angy used her speed to take out two participants from the opposing side.

She was seen as the most valued player since the rest of her teammates were able to focus on the strongest participant due to her help.

This led to their win since the battle power of the strongest participant on the opposing side was more powerful than their strongest participant.

The first round came to an end and the schools that won were announced.

Echelon Academy, Atrihea city high school, Salvation Academy, Black rock schools, Brair Bullet High, and Reflection Academy.

Now that the other schools had been disqualified, the next round was only going to involve the participants from these six schools.

The principal of Atrihea city high had announced the commencement of the second round after all the participants who lost earlier left the training ground.

"Echelon Academy Vs Briar Bullet high! Participants should move to Ring-A!"

"Atrihea city high Vs Salvation Academy! Participants should move to Ring-C"

"Reflection Academy Vs Black rock schools! Participants should move to Ring-E!"

Principal Durk announced in successions and left the rest to the referees.

The participants were back inside the ring facing different opponents this time.

In the second round, another rule was implemented.

Every school now had three substitution slots which they could use in exchanging a player so even if a participant was disqualified, it was possible to send in another participant from the same school to fill in the slot.

This could only be done three times and every school had the opportunity to do it so unless a school defeated another school very quickly to the point where no substitutes were able to be called on, they would still have to battle at least ten participants from that school to win.

After a brief moment of speaking, the go-ahead was given for the second round to begin.

The participants lunged towards one another again with battle intent.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chaotic sounds collision rang out again as they clashed with one another.

The students in the spectators were cheering for their favorites once again while watching the duel with a tense look.

"Gustav, which school do you think has the highest chance of winning?" A mature feminine voice questioned from Gustav’s left side.

Gustav turned to the side to stare at her for a few seconds with a look of contemplation before turning back to stare at the battle rings.

The other two females on Gustav’s right also had expressions that shown they were also interested in listening to Gustav’s reply.

"Among all the schools, Echelon Academy and Atrihea city high school, have the highest combat power... Also, their battle formation and the way they battle with such teamwork is better than the rest of the teams so I can say with almost a hundred percent certainty that the final round will be between both teams," Gustav explained with a solemn look.

The girls who were sitting beside him were, Elle, Arianna, and Lim.

Elle was seated on his left side while Lim and Arianna were seated on his right.

"Does that mean our Blackrock school doesn’t stand a chance of winning?" Elle asked with a look of dissatisfaction.

Gustav stared at the battlefield again with a contemplative look before replying, "I don’t think so... At most your school will take third place,"

Gustav had studied the initial battle of all the schools so he could tell that Blackrock schools participants were lacking in prowess compared to the rest of the schools that also won.

The only reason why he felt Black Rock might have a chance to get to the final round was because of Angy. Having Angy on their team was a huge plus for them.

Even if by any chance she happened to not be powerful enough to defeat the opponent placed before her she still had enough speed to disrupt the flow of attack on the battlefield and cause distractions.
