Chapter 341 A Sparring Condition
Chapter 341 A Sparring Condition
Sony and Max had resumed what they were doing before they were summoned to the stadium.
They have asked all the students they met who were from Crockel academy and even met a few Luis' from Crockel academy who all happened to be the wrong ones.
"This is getting frustrating," Max said as they stopped a little distance away from the skyscraper meant to accommodate the students from Eukerion and Tron Ville academy.
"How did you not think it would get frustrating?" Sony asked. "There are over one thousand students in the academy currently and we are just looking for one specific Luis."
"He said he's from Crockel academy so we're not looking for him among all the students, just Crockel academy," Max said.
"What if he wasn't telling the truth?" Sony said.
"Of course, he was," Max said.
"Didn't you see the way he acted the first time we asked him how he could do all the things he could do in the game?" Sony said.
"That was because he didn't trust us enough to tell us," Max said.
"And then the next time he just suddenly gains trust in us out of nowhere and tells us," Sony said.
Listening to what Sony had just said, Max knew he had a point, some things weren't exactly clear with the things Luis told them.
"But we know he knows the creator of the game because he knew exactly how we found the headsets, maybe we can find him here since he's a martial arts teacher and then he can lead us to him," Max said.
"Yeah, and how do you know he also didn't lie about that one?" Sony asked.
"About what?"
"About the creator of the game being their martial arts teacher," Sony said.
"Well, then we'll have to check and find out," Max said.
"How?" Sony asked.
"There's a list of all the staff from all the academies in the staff block, come on let's go," Max said, already making his way toward the area.

Ace could say he had partially succeeded with his actual reason for following Chloe as he had gotten to know a few things about her during the time they were at the stadium and now he was following her back to the skyscraper.
She said she wanted to head back to her dorm room and Ace had volunteered once again to follow her back which wasn't necessary in any way.
"Hey, I was wondering if you would like to grab dinner with me tonight." Ace said as the two stopped just a little distance in front of the building's entrance.
Chloe stared at him for a while before letting out a little chuckle.
"What's funny?" Ace asked with a baffled look on his face.
"You mean like a date because I usually go to the cafeteria with Tania," Chloe said.
"Ummmm… not exactly like a date but something like that." Ace said.
"I know what a date is, Ace," Chloe said, giving him a cold stare.
"Okay, so will you go with me then?" Ace asked.
"Yeah," Chloe said with a nod.
"Really?" Ace said as he was quite surprised to have her agree that quickly without any conditions.
"But it will be under one condition," Chloe said, finally dropping the bombshell on him.
It wasn't quite a bombshell as he was expecting between rejection and this.
"What condition?" He asked.
"You'll have to beat me in a spar," Chloe said.
"A spar?" Ace said as the expression on his face had suddenly changed.
"What's wrong, are you afraid that I'll beat you?" Chloe asked with a mocking tone.
"No, it's just that the last time my friend sparred with a girl because of a date, it didn't end well for both him and me." Ace said, sticking his hands in his pockets.
"Oh, but that's the condition, beat me in a spar, what's your response?" She asked.
"Of course yes, I don't back down from fights." Ace said.
"We'll see about that," Chloe said. "This is going to be fun, my first time fighting someone with a wind ability."
"Wait, you haven't fought someone with wind ability before?" Ace asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah," Chloe said with a nod.
"That's good because you won't know what you'll be facing." Ace said.
"Given the fact that you're just a level three student, it won't be much," Chloe said looking at his wristwatch.
"Oh, really and what level are you?" Ace asked.
"A level four," Chloe said, bringing out her watch from her pocket to show him. "I don't like wearing wristwatches."
"You wouldn't be showing me that if you knew that I defeated a level four student who had ice ability just like you during our academy competitions." Ace said.
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm but that doesn't change anything because I'm not that person."
"Oh really." Ace said locking eyes with her.
"Yeah, it doesn't change anything," Chloe said. "Now let's look for a good place and get this over with."
"I know a place." Ace said.
Ace had led her to the area where Luis had sparred with Jaren and now all that was left was to begin the fight.
"Are you ready?" Chloe asked after she had walked a little distance away from him.
"Yeah." Ace said with a nod.
"Good," Chloe said as she quickly formed numerous ice blades and sent them all toward Ace from below.
"What the….?" Ace said with a shocked expression on his face as he quickly used his wind ability to thrust himself up allowing the ice blades to zoom past him.
"You like playing tricks don't you?" Ace said after he had dropped to the floor.
"What trick?" Chloe asked.
Ace expected the blades to come directly from up just like Henry did when they fought but Chloe was smarter than that.
She knew a blade from up was going to be easy to block which was why she sent them from below.
Blades from the below would be harder to block and a good blow on the leg would mean her victory.
"Well, two can play that game." Ace said as he quickly sent out wind slashes from below to knock her down.
Chloe quickly did a flip to block that and began to run towards him while jumping and sliding to avoid his wind slashes.
She closed up on him without getting hit by his wind attacks and had quickly summoned her scythe with which she tried to hit Ace with but he had also summoned his scythe at that time and used it to stop her scythe from hitting him.
"Oh, I see you made a good choice for a soul weapon," Chloe said as her soul weapon was beginning to freeze and the frost was heading toward Ace's weapon now.
He knew what she was trying to do there as his soul weapon quickly vanished from his hand and he blasted her back with a wind blast.
The wind blast had pushed her far from him but not that far as she had frozen her legs on the floor to stop the wind from pushing her.
"Well, this is going to be harder than I thought." She said as she formed another scythe out of ice and Ace summoned his soul weapon again.
