Chapter 244 Water Skill Advantage

The competition was becoming more and more interesting for Luis who couldn't wait to face any of the strong fighters still left in the competition.

The selection process began again as Pearl's image stopped in the first box before the image of Jayden Sunblade had stopped in the next box.

"The next fight will be between Pearl Reeves and Jayden Sunblade." Lieutenant Kate announced.

Now this was a fight Luis was super excited to watch, a fight between someone he knew had a very impressive water ability and another person who he was told came from the family with the strongest water ability.

"Paired with another fire user," Pearl said, making her way to the earth pillar.

"He may be a first-year student but his fire ability is stronger than most of the fire users here and will eventually become stronger than all the fire users here," Tammy said.

"So are you trying to scare me or what?" Pearl said.

"Just be careful and don't underestimate him," Tammy said.

"I know," Pearl said.

Luis had checked on the glass container hanging over the arena when Lieutenant Kate had started the competition to see that neither Kelvin nor General Freelyn was there and after checking it again now he could see that they still weren't there.

'I wonder why they decided to ditch the competition.' The Angel thought.

The two students in the arena stared at each other as the countdown began and as soon as it had ended Jayden began his attack.

He used fire streams in his hands like thrusters to push himself forward and as soon as he had gotten close to Pearl he pushed himself up with the help of the fire thrusters and was descending on the third-year student with large flames extended like two large flaming swords.

Most people would panic in this situation but Pearl didn't as she formed a large water ball in her hand, raised it up with her water control, and divided it into more water balls which he quickly shot upward toward Jayden.

She had made the surface of the water balls to be a little like blades.

The water blades slammed into his face forcing a groan out of him and causing him to lose control of his attack as he fell to the ground with the flames heading toward Pearl who formed an equal stream of water to extinguish them.

She turned to the side to see him breathing heavily as she could see the vein in his head budging.

Her water balls had done the trick as Jayden's face had a lot of cuts on it now as drops of blood fell from it to the ground.

"I thought those were ordinary water balls," Presley said, showing up behind Tammy.

He slammed his fists into the ground and with a loud yell fired an outrageous amount of flames toward Pearl.

Pearl tried to stop the flames with a large stream of water she had formed but that wasn't enough to stop the flames as they pushed her back until she had gotten slammed into the wall.

The reason she had escaped getting burnt was because her water ability had reduced the force of the flames.

"Ok, the arena is partially flooded now." Lieutenant Kate said as she watched Pearl's water cover the floors of the arena.

Although the water had covered the whole arena floor it wasn't that high and could only cover the legs of Jayden who was standing now.

"I think Pearl's in trouble now," Presley said.

"No, he's the one that is in trouble now," Tammy said.

"Huh?" Presley said turning to the screen, to him what she just said didn't make much sense judging by what he was seeing on the screen.

"You're good but Sunblades are not that easy to defeat," Jayden said, panting.

His legs were shaking and that was the only thing you needed to know that he was really tired.

Pearl had her back against the wall with her body in the water, she was conscious but she wasn't looking alright.

"My father will be so proud of me when he hears I defeated one of the strongest third-year students in the academy," Jayden said, moving closer to her with staggering steps.

"Are you sure about that?" Pearl asked with a weak voice.

"About what? Aren't you one of the strongest third-year students?"

"I mean, are you sure about defeating me?" Pearl said.

"Of course," Jayden said as he stretched his hand to blast her with a fire attack but before he could release the attack ropes in the form of water burst through the water on the floor and wrapped around his hands.

He tried to use his leg to send the fire attack but his leg had gotten stuck as water ropes had wrapped around them preventing him from making any movement.

"Sorry, Jayden but it's not today," Pearl said, slamming her hand into the water.

The water ropes followed her motion as they quickly slammed the first-year student into the water.

He was already weak from Pearl's earlier attack and had also used a lot of energy to hit Pearl with that amount of fire attack, those were the reasons why that heavy slam into the small pool of water had been enough to knock him out.

Pearl used her hand to clear the water in his part to reveal him lying on the ground motionless.

"Ok, that was quite an interesting fight as Pearl Reeves makes it to the next round."

Presley who had watched the turn of tides had his mouth wide open as he turned to Tammy.

"I told you he was the one in trouble," Tammy said.

Presley wasn't the only one who was in awe of the skill Pearl had just used.

'Is there a limit to what she can do with her water abilities?' Luis thought.

'You should take a few lessons from her, it may help.' Lena said.

'Yeah, that's going to be a problem.'

In a special military base at Eukerion Bryan could be seen in one of the rooms with a large monitor screen in front of him.

He was watching the footage of the scroll falling from the sky when two men dressed in black uniforms walked into the room.

"We found it, sir." One of the men said.

"A man had taken it before we arrived but we had managed to retrieve it from him before he went too far." The other man said.

"Let me see," Bryan said, stretching his hand as the man with the scroll gave it to him.

He opened the scroll expecting to see something a little understandable but what he was seeing now was far from that.

"Bring the translator." He said.

The men checked the table on both sides of the room looking for the translator but they still weren't able to find it.

"That's strange, I saw that translator this morning," Bryan said.

"Looking for this?" A female voice was heard coming from the door.

Bryan turned towards the door to see his colleague holding the translator which looked like a medium-sized tablet.

Layla was a Lieutenant in the military force just like Bryan she was also putting on the black uniform but hers had blue designs running through the edges.

She was one of those women that looked really good in black and her black long hair made her look even better in black.

"You know you're not allowed to leave with my translator Layla," Bryan said.

"Sorry I just picked it up on my way out because I knew something like this was going to happen and you were not going to call me to check it out." She said walking up to him.

Bryan stared at her for a while as she stared back at him with a daring gaze.

"Just give me the translator," Bryan said, placing his hand in front of her.

"Okay," Layla said, handing him the teleporter.

He got up from his seat and walked to the clear table on the left side of the room where he fully spread out the scroll.

"Ok, I haven't seen that one before," Layla said, looking at the strange language written on the scroll.

Bryan brought up the translator which had a screen just like that of any smartphone or tablet and clicked the large translate option in the middle.

The scanner at the back of the translator turned on as the blue light began to go through the scroll scanning the strange letters.

[ Language unrecognized]

A female monotone voice spoke through the translator as the message displayed on the screen.

"Huh?" Layla said. "I thought this thing could translate every language available in the world to any language of your choice."

"Yes, it can," Bryan replied after a while with his gaze still on the scroll and what was written on it.
