Chapter 215 Fire User On Rampage

Luis stared at Dylan with a cold expression on his face, that depiction of his shock and worry for what was about to come if something wasn't done.

"So he has managed to get that many students in his gang," Luis said.

"Who is he?" Dylan asked.

"The person running that secret fighting club and leader of those students," Luis said, getting up.

He stared at Dylan who in turn was staring at the two punctures on his uniform.

'Wonderful healing.'

"We have fights to finish at the arena, you can go back to your sleep and keep in mind that I'm not done with you yet," Luis said and turned to leave.

"You should have asked for help Dylan," Ella said with a wave of her head before quickly following after Luis.

Back at the clinic, Serene had just finished wrapping bandages around Rodney's face and hands and was just waiting for the third-year student to wake up and explain what happened to him as it didn't seem like he had fought in the arena yet, John was sure of that as he had checked every single fight since the beginning of the competition and there was nobody like the student.

He also checked the way every student had gotten knocked out and it didn't seem like any of them were related to what happened to Rodney.

She could have just placed her hands on his face and healed him but she always found it better to allow the healing process to take place naturally and only use her ability whenever it was urgently required.

John was watching the fight currently going on in the arena when another injured student was brought in.

Serene directed them to drop them on one of the free beds there and as soon as they had dropped her, she began to examine the body of the red-haired female.

"Her ankle seems to be broken," Serene said after dropping her right leg back on the bed.

"Yeah, she did not get knocked out in a good way," John said with his gaze fixed on the screen.

"Yeah, but she didn't sustain many injuries. All I need to do is tie a bandage on her broken ankle and give her some pain…."

Serene couldn't finish what she was saying as she was interrupted by coughs coming from Rodney.

"He's awake," Serene said with a smile as she slowly walked to him.

"Where am I?" Rodney asked with a cough as he tried to look around.

"Hey, just relax, you're in the clinic," Serene said.

"Clinic," Rodney said with a confused tone.

"Yeah, you were brought in here a few hours ago with a burnt face and hands," Serene said.

"Burnt," Rodney said as he slowly touched his bandaged face with his bandaged hand.

Serene waited for a while before she decided to ask the questions she had prepared to ask him whenever he woke up.

"So how did you get your face burnt?" Serene asked.

"Huh?"

"You haven't fought in the competition yet right?"

"Yeah," Rodney replied.

"Then it must have been some sort of accident or someone did it to you off the arena, do you mind telling me what really happened?" Serene asked.

Rodney was silent for quite a while as he tried to think of what to say.

Of course, he knew what had happened but he wasn't going to tell Serene that he was trying to hurt a first-year student and then the student turned around and blasted his skin away.

"I forgot to ask, what is your name and class?" Serene asked.

"I'm Rodney, I'm a third-year student," Rodney said.

"Ok Rodney, can you tell me how you got your face burnt?"

"I was heading to my class alone to pick something up when someone jumped out from the woods, blasted me with fire, and ran away," Rodney said.

That was the best made-up story he could come up with and you could tell by the way he had told the story that he wasn't the smartest of students.

"Did you see the face of this someone?" Serene asked.

"No, I was blinded by his flames."

Serene didn't say anything as she walked off towards John with a horrid expression on her face.

"Come with me." She said pulling John along with her as she walked out of the room into the reception area.

"What's the problem?" John asked.

"Call Kelvin," Serene said.

"Why?" John asked.

"We may have a fire user on a rampage," Serene said.

Two more fights had been concluded after Monica's fight with Zoey and Orah had been patiently waiting for his turn.

The third fight had just been concluded and he was expecting to see his image in one of the boxes but it seemed like he would have to wait longer.

"I guess your fight is the last one," Silvia said.

"Yeah," Orah said.

He had done the calculation to come up with the conclusion that only two students were left for the first year part of the competition and those two people were him and one other person.

Silvia wasn't really paying attention to the current fight and was still wondering where Ella had gone with Luis.

'I wonder what is taking those two long, it's been almost an hour since they left.' Silvia thought.

She had already made up her mind to go look for them but just as she turned towards the gate she saw the two approaching them.

"Where did you two go?" Silvia asked, giving them a suspicious look.

"We went to get something in the classroom?" Silvia said.

"What?" Silvia asked. "It doesn't look like any of you is holding anything."

[ Mind read activated ]

Luis' face had turned red as soon as he had heard the thoughts Silvia had in mind.

'Seriously, why would she be having thoughts like that?'

'She's not exactly wrong to think that way considering the way the both of you left.' Lena said.

"What did you go to get?" Silvia asked again as the pressure was building up and Ella didn't know exactly what to say.

"This," Luis said, revealing his Anti-gravity boots. "I bought them recently and wanted to show her."

"Oh," Silvia said with a voice that showed that her suspicion had been cleared a little. "But what took you so long?"

"Errrrr, I couldn't find one of the pairs earlier because someone kicked it away," Luis said.

"Oh, ok," Silvia said and slowly turned back to the screen.

"For an Angel, you're really good at making up things," Ella whispered to him.

"That was a really short fight." Lieutenant Kate said.

Looking down at the arena through the screen, Luis could see that one of the students was being carried away in a stretcher while the other one was still standing and looked perfectly okay.

"This is going to be the last fight for the first year's round." Lieutenant Kate said.

The matching process began as an image of a blonde-haired female was the first to stop before that of Orah had stopped at the other side.

"Alright, the last fight will be between Scarlett Treason and Orah Smith."

"Finally," Orah said as he walked to the pillar and was brought down where Scarlett was already waiting for him.

She had a blue spear in her hand which Orah found strange as he had only seen students summon their weapons after the fight had begun.

The countdown began and immediately it was over, Scarlett's spear took on a white glow as a bolt of lightning shot out from it, caught Orah unaware, and knocked him off his feet.

"It's quite interesting to see a first-year student with a mystic weapon." Lieutenant Kate said.

"No wonder she had it in her hands before the fight began," Orah said.
