Chapter 128 - The Ghost

Aiden, after hearing that last warning from the head instructor, vanished faster than his shadow, he arrived first in front of the notice boards and found Anaya's name, she was in the third combat ring.

He disappeared again before even the level ten mages had time to arrive, and went back to Anaya.

He saw her smile and said in an annoyed tone : "You are in the third combat ring, and don't smile like this, if I ever take care of you badly, Liam will never trust me again."

Anaya chuckled but said in a serious tone : "Let's go !"

As they walked to her combat ring Anaya still asked him seriously : "Aiden, in your opinion, what is the best technique I should apply, I thought I would have the right to use the daggers ..."

Aiden smiled at her and patted her reassuringly on the head, he said to her : "Easy, you're a level six mage so they're not going to see you as a threat, obviously they will team up to get down the stronger first.

However, there are several things you should keep in mind, stay in a corner of the ring your back will be protected, do not trust anyone, it is out of the question that you make friends with them because at the slightest opportunity they will eliminate you.

Also, and even if thanks to your bloodline you can face several of these level ten fighters head-on, wait for them to approach you and do sneak attacks on them, try to do it as discreetly as possible so that no one will suspect you.

In the end, try to gain as many points as possible by remaining discreet, understood ?"

Anaya nodded, she understood his advice perfectly, this eliminatory round was not advantageous for her, if she had been able to use her daggers she could have gone to face them all without fear, but here it was better to play it discreet as had suggested Aiden.

Once in front of the combat ring Anaya jumped on it and took place in one of the corners of it, she turned to Aiden and said : "Thank you for your advice, I will definitely take it into account, and I won't let you down, Liam will be very happy I promise."

Aiden had a small smile and said to her : "Make him proud of you, the rest it's not important."

Anaya just nodded and looked for Celia in the bleachers, when she found her, Celia waved her hand to her and made two signs with their code, she said she was fine and that she was looking at her.

Anaya nodded to her wife and then focused on the participants who were now all in the combat ring, it wasn't going to be easy but she was spending her time training against opponents much more powerful than her, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Anaya heard the countdown begin, she would do what her wife had taught her so as not to waste too much chakra, rather than trying to stop the spells, she would use her chakra to deviate them from their path.

She would use lightning element and her natural speed, due to the training with the gravity, to do quick attacks, not to mention the spells she could use for sneak attacks and which would allow her to kick her opponents out of the combat ring, three ..., two ..., one .. ., Fight!

There we go ! Anaya felt the adrenaline rush through her body as she watched her opponents from her corner.

It was exactly as Aiden had told her, some were already forming alliances, some looked at her and seeing her level snorted and looked annoyed when other looked at her with disdain, some even dared to present their backs to her, they were sure she was not a threat to them.

A carnivorous smile appeared on Anaya's face, she was going to start with these three fighters who had dared to turn their backs to her.

Liam had taught her all the weaknesses of the human body, it was very easy for Anaya to temporarily paralyze her opponents, there was precisely that point on the top of the neck that paralyzed all the motor functions of the human body, including speech, it was the perfect one to teach these bastards a lesson.

She gathered her index finger with her middle finger on both hands and concentrated a small dose of chakra on her fingers, that would be enough to cripple them for ten seconds and she only needed six though to kick the three of them out of the combat ring.

She was careful that no one would notice her and then she started her sneak attacks.

These three fighters were still talking about fighting technique when suddenly they felt a pain in their neck, they were completely paralyzed, and couldn't even make a sound.

The first felt propelled by an unknown force out of the combat ring and there was nothing he could do to stop it, he crashed heavily to the ground and soon his two friends joined him, also crashing head first.

When they could move again just a few seconds after their fall, they could not see who had trapped them like this, they would have to ask this level six fighter who the hell had kicked them out, and besides, why their opponent didn't get rid of her too ?

Anaya kept an impassive face throughout the eliminatory round, every time she saw an opponent isolate himself to regain his strength she took the opportunity to stealthily kick him out of the combat ring, some spells happened to go straight to her when they had missed their main target, but she had easily avoided them.

She followed Aiden's advice and kept a low profile, no one suspected that the fighter they had nicknamed "the ghost", because of the disappearance of their friends that were always done in the most complete discretion, was this cold looking young girl level six fighter who had never budged from her corner.

When they were down to twenty participants, an examiner had stopped the fight and they were all anxious to find out who was the one who had managed to eliminate the most opponents.

Anaya, on the other hand was really very satisfied with her performance, and she turned to Aiden for his opinion, she asked him : "So how have I been ?"

Aiden laughed out loud, which was rather rare for him, but he could see that Anaya was really waiting for his verdict so he said quite proud to have been by her side for this eliminatory round : "As Liam would say, sweetheart, you have completely crushed them, I m very proud of you."

He lifted his thumb in the air to make her understand that she had been perfect, those assholes even nicknamed her "the ghost", they were all going to have the shock of their life when they will find out who "the ghost" was, he really can't wait to see their face.
