My Angel system

Chapter 206 Strongest Fire Ability

The murmurs above the arena had increased immediately after the woman's voice had resounded through the speakers.

"For those who didn't get the introduction the last time, I am lieutenant Kate Blaze." Her voice resounded in the speaker.

"Her dressing doesn't look soldier-like to me."

Luis quickly turned to see Ella standing behind him.

"Yeah," Luis said, turning his gaze back to the Lieutenant.

"This competition is held every year before the tournament and I believe most of us know how it works but for the sake of the few first-year students who may not know, I'll go over the procedures and rules to be followed.

"This is mainly a fighting competition but this year the principal has decided to add a few other things like the range battle mainly for archers and other students with weapons that require range.

"And the speed evaluation to test your normal speed and speed ability."

Lieutenant Kate had paused for a while now as he looked around.

Everywhere had gone quiet as the students were paying attention so that they wouldn't miss anything.

"I will go over the procedures for the main event which is the fighting competition. The fight will start with the first-year students, six students each will be selected from each combat class and will be randomly matched with each other.

"Two fighters will be picked randomly to face each other but for the first round, students from the same combat class will not be facing each other.

"Instructors of the three first-year combat classes should please bring forth the names of their six chosen competitors for the fighting competition."

"Now where's Michael?" Nicole muttered as she began to look around.

Lieutenant Kate formed a path with earth pillars that enabled the two instructors for the combat classes to get to her.

They should have been three but Michael wasn't there yet.

"Where's Michael?" Ella asked after seeing that he wasn't among the instructors heading to the Lieutenant.

"I don't know," Luis said, looking around.

After collecting the data he needed from the instructors, the Lieutenant quickly went down with the help of her earth pillar.

There was a computer system attached to the wall by the side and as soon as she had turned it on two large screens placed side by side descended from above and were now hanging over the arena.

It didn't take long before the screens had brightened up displaying the logo of Crockel academy, a red shield with two silver swords crossed in between.

Lieutenant Kate was filling in the information she was given when she discovered that one combat class.

"Who is the instructor of the martial arts class? Because I don't have his list of chosen students." Kate said.

"Where could he possibly be?" Nicole said with gritted teeth as she brought out her phone and dialed his number.

The call was going through but there was no response from Michael.

"The instructor for the martial arts class should please bring his list of chosen fighters. If not, I will have to automatically disqualify his class from the competition."

The word disqualify seemed to have sparked up a reaction in Silvia as she quickly approached Luis and Ella.

"Do you guys have any idea why our instructor isn't here yet?" Silvia asked.

"No," Ella replied.

Nicole had brought out an earpiece from her pocket and had quickly inserted it into her ear.

"Nova please head to Michael's building and see what's taking him so long." She said,

Immediately after she had sent out that message to Nova Lieutenant Kate had said something that had caught everyone there by surprise.

"Ok, I have the list of the martial arts students now." The Lieutenant said.

"Huh?" Silvia was quite surprised but Luis and Ella didn't seem surprised.

It didn't take long before the CEO spiraled up with the help of his wind ability.

"Hey guys, sorry I took so long." He said after stopping in front of Luis and the two girls.

"You're lucky," Nicole said as she touched her earpiece. "Never mind Nova, he's already here."

"I've given her the list so it's up to you guys now," Michael said and was about to walk off towards Nicole when Silvia called her back.

"Can you at least tell us those you chose?" The wonder warrior asked.

"Don't worry Silvia, your name's there," Michael said as he continued walking toward Nicole.

Ella looked around to see that the other two instructors were giving their students some kind of prep talk which Michael didn't even bother to do.

Orah had joined the group immediately after Michael had left and Monica and Henry who were heading towards them immediately after they had seen Michael were there now.

"Where's our instructor?" Monica asked.

"Oh look, he's over there talking to that cute teacher," Henry said, pointing at Michael who was standing with Nicole now.

Monica looked at them for a while before bringing her gaze down.

"Did he tell you guys anything about those he chose?" Monica asked.

"No, and I don't think he wants to," Ella said.

"Ok, we are set for the competition." Lieutenant Kate said immediately after she had come into everyone's view. "But first we must welcome the principal of Crockel academy Mr. Kelvin Grove and general Freelyn." She said pointing up at the container.

Luis didn't need to look up as he had seen them enter the glass container.

"Isn't that the general that locked you and other green-eyed students up because of some sword?" Monica asked.

"Yes, that's him," Luis replied as his gaze turned to Orah.

"Ok, now it's time for the first fight which will be picked by a program in the computer down there." Lieutenant Kate.

Two circle boxes appeared on the screen with vs between both of them.

Pictures of the students began to display in the boxes, the pictures were changing to different students so fast that no one could actually recognize any of them until it had stopped with two students now in both circles.

"Ok." Lieutenant Kate said, taking a closer look at the screen. "The first fight will be between Oliver Portman of the soul weapon class and Jayden Sunblade of the elemental class."

The two students slowly stepped up as two pillars got raised in front of them and as they stepped on them, it slowly brought them down to the arena floor, now everyone could see both of them from the large screens.

"Anything goes in this fight but once your opponent is down you are not to attack," Kate said. "I hope that is understood by everyone?"

The two stood opposite each other as the number five appeared in between them and a monotone male voice began the countdown.

"Five, four, three, two, one… Fight."

Oliver was quite a skinny boy with short brown hair and he looked to be the tenser of the two as he had quickly summoned his long sword even before the countdown was over.

Jayden on the other hand looked quite muscular and had very dark hair which seemed to go well with his slightly tanned skin.

Jayden looked as calm as ever as Oliver ran towards him with his sword, he closed up on him with his sword, and just as he was about to slash it down on him, Jayden caught the sword directly on its edge.

There were loud gasps from the crowd as they expected to see blood drop on the floor but that didn't happen as it seemed like the sword was the one bleeding instead.

The blades had completely turned red and it didn't take long before the whole thing had melted off the hilt leaving Oliver with just that to hold on to.

"Your soul weapon is inferior," Jayden said as he sent a punch down his gut which sent him flying and crashing to the floor.

"That's quite an easy win for Jayden Sun who is now through to the next round." Lieutenant Kate said.

'His fire ability has to be really strong to be able to melt that sword.' Luis thought.

'Or the blades were just weak.' Lena said.

"He could have still won without destroying his soul weapon," Monica said with a frown on her face.

"He's from the Sunblade family right?" Ella asked.

"Yeah and he sure likes to show that off," Monica said.

"What's special about the Sunblade family?" Luis asked.

"The Sunblade family is one of the prominent families in the world; they are part of the world council," Ella said.

"And why is that so?" Silvia asked.

"They have the strongest fire ability," Ella said.
