Chapter 104 The Tournament (20)
The following fights were very good to see since all the people were top students. Erik did know each of them but wasn't on friendly terms with them, so their win or loss didn't matter much to the young man. Though, he had to admit that some of the powers were terrifying. For example, Darragh Montgomery had an earth manipulation power, which he could use for defense and attack.
For now, the young man didn't have much control over his power, so he had a fighting style similar to Adam Bond's, with him sending small earth projectiles to his opponent.
Clearly, Darragh won but not without creating a mess all around the ring, and the fight ended with many angry workers having to fix the damages he created.
The following match was between Jacob and Serena, and saw the first one win. The guy had a cloning ability which basically made the match a 3v1. He couldn't make more clones than that, but Erik had no doubt this would be a cheat-like power at high levels. The guy won easily, and the fight was spectacular since Jacob had a very acrobatic fighting style.
The last match before Amber's was between Charley and Stefan, with the latter having a phasing power that made him invulnerable to physical attacks and that gave him victory in the end.
Erik noticed that it had Priya's power same deficit, which was that before attacking, he had to materialize himself, giving any opponent a chance to attack him. Though, the fight was not simple since Charley had a psychic brain crystal power to which Stefan was not immune.
Now it was time for Amber to fight; her opponent was Brittney Santiago. The girl was a top student with brown eyes and long blond hair.
She had a very bulky figure and wore an outfit that showed off her well-toned body. Her breasts looked rather large from what little of her chest you could see through her clothes, and her waist was huge. She looked like an ox.
The woman had a very nasty power. She could emit sonic screams so strong as to generate airwaves that threatened to make you jump out of the ring and rupture your eardrums, causing confusion and loss of equilibrium. However, it was nothing Amber couldn't deal with
The fight wasn't going to be simple. Still, Erik couldn't see Amber lose since her power was a highly destructive one.
She could, in fact, create a highly corrosive gas with her brain crystal. Since basically everyone knew this, all the people waiting for the fight to start decided to stay as far as possible from the ring, lest they got injured by her power.
"Are you ready?" Gwen asked Amber.
"I am, don't worry," The woman replied.
"Good, let Brittney see who the strongest between you is..." Gwen said, and Amber nodded.
Then the announcer called Britney's and Amber's names.
"And now, Amber Joyce and Brittney Santiago will fight the day's last match! A round of applause for the two contestants!"
The crowd erupted in cheers when both women entered the arena, but it was clear who they were cheering for.
Despite Brittney being a very intimidating young girl, when Amber went into the ring, she stole the spotlights. The young woman was a sight to behold. She had short red hair that swayed with every step she took, her skin was tanned, her legs toned, and her ass was perfectly rounded. She wore a pair of black glasses that gave her a sexy look, and her breast was at the perfect size, not too big or too small. Amber was wearing very tight black leggings and a tank top that hugged her breasts tightly. It also revealed part of her belly button, promptly sending all the males in the audience into a frenzy.
When the two contestants entered the ring, they approached each other and then hugged, showing that there was no enmity between them. Thanks to her kindness and friendliness, Amber was well-loved by everyone, and the girls loved her like a sister.
Then, after a few seconds, Amber broke away and faced her opponent. This time, on her face, there was a look of pure focus.
Amber took a deep breath and exhaled sharply, letting the sound of her voice reverberate throughout the crowd. At that moment, the bell rang, and the battle began.
Amber wasted no time and immediately unleashed a very dense and corrosive fog inside the ring, not only creating problems for her opponent to move but also to see past the fog. Since Brittney knew Amber's power well, she wasn't very concerned also because her own power could counter her if used effectively.
As the fog spread and quickly approached Brittney, the young woman started inhaling as much air as possible. She channeled mana through her lungs and throat, releasing an ear-shattering scream that dissipated the dense fog in front of her.
Though Amber wasn't stupid as she too knew Brittney's power, and while her opponent was busy channeling mana, she started running toward her.
Once Amber was close to the young woman, a battle ensued. Still, from the first minutes, it was clear to everyone, Brittney included, that Amber was much stronger and more experienced than her opponent, despite both being top-ranked students.
Amber unleashed a roundhouse kick at Brittney's head, though the latter was a skilled fighter and avoided the move cleverly. However, Amber's experience and skills were high, and she wasn't done yet.
Using the momentum she gained from the last kick, she spun in the air and kicked the young woman in the stomach with the back of her left foot, pushing Brittney several meters back and making her bend forward.
However, Amber didn't have the time to make another kick, so Brittney had enough to recuperate before Amber went into attack mode again. This time, Brittney didn't want to leave her opponent to do as she pleased.
She channeled mana and unleashed another sonic scream at Amber, who barely had the time to cover her ears with her hands, but she was thrown in the air inside the fog she had created.
For Brittney, it was impossible to attack Amber since she fell too deep into the gas. For this reason, the red-haired woman leisurely stood up since her opponent wasn't attacking her and started channeling an insane amount of mana through her body.
A couple of seconds later, a massive amount of gas spread into the air, and Brittney started to panic. The ox-like woman channeled mana again into her lungs and released another sonic scream, much bigger and stronger than the previous one.
She created another corridor inside Amber's fog, but now she didn't see the young woman rush at her; she was nowhere to be found. The fog quickly mended itself and started spreading toward Brittney again as its owner released the gas into the air.
She panicked at that point, so she channeled mana again and released another sonic scream. At that moment, Amber went out of the fog, unleashing a flying kick at Brittney and disrupting her channelization of mana.
The sonic girl did her best to defend herself but could do nothing as Amber trapped her in the corner of the ring. The young woman had no more space to move.
There were two alternatives: the first one was to fight while going inside the fog, but that would mean that she would be burned by the corrosive substance, but at least Brittney would have enough space to fight.
The second was to engage in melee combat inside the small corner of the ring, but that would mean that she would fight with a handicap. Since Amber was much better than her fighting, that would mean her defeat.
However, the young woman wasn't aware of the fact that Amber grew bored of the fight and was planning to end it once and for all.
