Chapter 226 Didn’t Stand A Chance

Luis was really excited to see Pearl fight and how well she was going to do all the sparring matches weren't really what he called them as he had been more concentrated on unlocking and improving his water ability.

Their last sparring match was nowhere close to a sparring match as all Pearl had done was blast him with her water ability while he tried to hold his ground and not even attack back.

'Wasn't the girl Johnny fought against answering Reeves as her last name?' Lena said.

'Yeah, maybe she's related to Pearl in some way.'

Pearl had reached the arena floor and was tying her hair back as the countdown began.

Carlos was from the elemental class and had a really good elemental ability.

He was a bit taller than Pearl, had short black hair and his beards were beginning to come out.

As soon as the countdown was over flames appeared in both of his hands which he had held out.

"I'd like to keep this fight short." He said as he shot the stream of fire towards Pearl.

The fire seemed a bit wild and was heading towards Pearl with full force but the blonde-haired teenager didn't move an inch.

"Is she planning on getting roasted or what?" Ella asked.

"I don't think that fire is going to be a problem for her," Luis said.

"What do you mean?" Ella asked.

"That's what I mean," Luis said, nodding towards the screen.

Just as the fire was about to consume Pearl a large stream of water shot out in front of her and consumed the fire instead putting it out on the spot.

"Oh, she has water ability," Ella said. "But how did you know?"

"She's Tammy's classmate, the one we met on our first day here, at this same arena," Luis said.

"Oh, yeah," Ella said with a low tone as she turned her gaze back to the screen.

Carlos was surprised by how Pearl had stopped his fire with her impressive water ability, the thing was that he knew most of the skilled elemental ability users and he couldn't remember having Pearl on that list.

"Are you in the elemental class?" He asked.

"No, I'm in the physical combat class," Pearl said.

"Physical combat," Carlos muttered.

"You've tried your special skill, it's time for me to try mine," Pearl said as she began to rotate her hand as a long pile of water followed her movement.

It seemed like she was dancing with her hand movements and steps as the long stream of water circled her.

She stopped moving and quickly raised both of her hands as the stream of water broke into large balls and all flew up above her.

"That is one neat skill." Ace said in amazement.

"Yeah," Monica said.

Carlos got ready for what was about to come as flames covered his hands.

With a flick of Pearl's finger, all the large water balls began to head for her opponent, there were many of them and they were all heading towards him at once.

"How did she do that?" Luis couldn't hide his amazement.

'It's amazing, yeah, but that's basically water control, you will be able to do it if you practice and perfect it.'

'Yeah, but she must have a lot of water points to control and manipulate that amount of water.'

'She's a level six third-year student Luis, of course, she has a lot of water points.' Lena said.

'If there are lots of other humans like this, then he isn't going to find things as easy as he thought.' Orah thought.

Carlos was trying his best to avoid and block the water ball blasts but it didn't seem like his fire ability was making any effect.

He had summoned his sword and tried to throw it towards Pearl to knock her down and stop the balls but before he could do that, a water ball had knocked his sword off his hand.

He immediately tried to pick it up and that was where his downfall began as a water ball slammed him at the back of his head causing him to tumble over.

He tried to catch his balance as he had one knee and hand on the ground but he was quickly knocked off balance again by a water ball hitting him on his face and another one following through to smack him on his chest.

Carlos was now on the ground as three more water balls smashed him down there.

"Her water control is so fluid," Monica said.

Tammy was watching the fight with a smile on her face, this was the first time she was seeing Pearl use this particular skill and she found it to be very cool.

"You know sometimes I wonder who is stronger between you and her." She heard someone behind her.

"What are you doing here Presley?"

"What? Being in the elemental class doesn't mean I can't pop up to your side."

Presley was one of the prominent elemental ability users and was popularly known as the Ice Prince.

He had a good body although he wasn't that muscular and had black short hair. If there was a list of good-looking boys he sure made it.

"I didn't say you couldn't be here, I asked what you are doing here?" Tammy said.

"I wanted to say hi." He said.

"But you've already done that this morning," Tammy said.

"Well, I felt like doing it again." He said.

Tammy let out a sigh as she turned her gaze back to the screen.

Carlos didn't seem to be moving and Pearl had one more ball rotating above her.

"I think that's enough," Pearl said as she pushed the water ball further a little and with a snap of her fingers, the water ball turned to normal water and poured on the floor.

"Ok, that fight was way easier than the first one as the ruthless one makes it out on top." Lieutenant Kate said. "He didn't even stand a chance."

"I don't think ruthless is a word that describes me," Pearl said.

Dylan was sitting on his bed staring at the wall, his eyes looked really dead and that was because his mind was in a big mess now.

'I should have told him, it really would have been better but I was a coward and now I've lost his trust. I don't think he'll ever forgive me and I won't blame him for that.

'Why did I have to be given such a weak ability and body? I wonder what he's going to do once the competition, you had an Angel who trusted you and you had to screw it up, Dylan.'

He couldn't let his mind rest as he kept cursing himself and thinking of the ways he could have done things the right way.

A knock was heard on the door but it wasn't enough to knock him back to reality.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The knock came again but there was still no response from him.

The knock didn't come again as this time the door was pushed open by Michael and Nicole had walked in after.

Despite the noise he had made when opening the door, Dylan didn't notice them.

"Dylan," Michael called but there was no response from him.

"Dylan," Nicole called but there was still no response from him.

Michael walked to him and grabbed him on both shoulders.

"Dylan!" He said shaking the teenager to pull him back to the real world.

"What! What!" Dylan screamed in a startled voice.

Michael was quiet for a while as he stared at him while he stared back at him.

"Dylan."

"Yes," Dylan answered with a Shaky voice.

"What is wrong with you?"
