Chapter 342 Won The Date

There was a loud clang as Ace blocked both of Chloe's scythes with his scythe and now it was time to see who would wear the other out.

Ace wasn't really looking forward to that as he quickly thrust himself up and with a flip landed behind her but before he could hit her with his scythe, she turned, knocked his scythe off his hand, and sent him a few steps back with a marching kick to his chest.

He was still trying to regain his balance as Chloe converted her ice scythe into a spear and sent it flying toward him.

Ace knew he was going to be in serious trouble if that spear hit him which was why he quickly used his wind ability to redirect the spear causing it to zoom past his face without touching him.

"Are you planning on killing me?" Ace asked, breathing heavily.

"If that spear had hit you then you have a useless ability," Chloe said as she formed numerous ice blades and sent them all flying toward Ace at once.

Ace knew there was a point in trying to avoid the blades and that was the reason why he wasn't planning on avoiding them.

He slowly rotated his hands to create a large swirl of wind and as soon as the blade entered the area, they all got caught in the wind.

"How do you like the taste of your own medicine?" Ace said as he quickly sent the blades back to their sender with increased force.

"That's not good," Chloe said as she quickly formed a shield out of ice to block the blades.

The shield did its job and prevented her from getting hit by her own ice blades but Ace wasn't done yet as he quickly sent out a large blast of wind toward her.

She was caught off guard as the wind blasted her back, she expected to hit something or hit the fall and had her hands covering her face but she had suddenly stopped moving.

"Huh?" She said removing her hand from her face to see that she was floating in the air.

It didn't take long before Ace had shown up in front of her and had sent back with a kick powered by a thrust from his wind ability.

He didn't even allow her to hit the ground before he thrust himself forward and slammed her to the ground.

That attack was too brutal and Ace had gone all out to do it as he was breathing heavily.

"I guess I'll see you tonight then." He said looking at Chloe who was lying on the ground and seemed to be unconscious.

"Oh, you're too gullible Ace," Chloe said as she quickly grabbed his legs, pulled him down, and froze both of his arms together.

"How are you still fine?" Ace asked with a shocked expression on his face as he lay on the floor.

"Did you really think a few blows would be enough to knock me out?" Chloe said standing over him.

"You tricked me?"

"Yeah because you're gullible," Chloe said with a little chuckle.

"Freezing my hands doesn't make this a fair fight." Ace said, sitting up on the floor.

"The fight is over, I won because you're out," Chloe said.

"I can still use my legs, you know." Ace said.

"Do you want me to freeze them too?" Chloe said as the cold look on her face returned.

"Fine you've won, just unfreeze my hands, this is painful." Ace said, getting up on his feet.

"Ummm… you know you did put up a really good fight," Chloe said.

"Yeah, but you won't still have dinner with me anyway." Ace said.

"Not really," Chloe said.

"Huh?"

"I'll be seeing you tonight Ace but right now I have to go," Chloe said, already walking out of the area.

"Wait, is that yes?" Ace asked with a brightened look on his face.

"Yeah, see you later Ace." She said running out of the area.

"Hey wait, what about….." He had stopped as she was already out of sight. "She did this on purpose." He said looking at his hands which were covered by ice.

Winning the date was nice but he didn't like the price he was paying for it.

"I just pray I find Luis or someone with a fire ability before my hands completely go numb." He said walking out of the area.

Ella and Monica had gone straight to their room after being summoned to the stadium.

Monica wasn't back yet so it was just the two of them.

Ajax had quickly rushed to Ella as soon as he heard the door open and close.

"Oh hey boy," Ella said, grabbing her.

Just seeing Ajax now had reminded Silvia of something she wanted to talk to Ella about.

"It's only been a few hours and you've missed me this much," Ella said as she sat on her bed with Ajax trying to climb her head. "Why don't you try to climb Silvia's head?"

"You know I always thought of Luis as a normal person with nothing special until the past few days," Silvia said.

"Huh?" Ella said, turning to her with a confused expression on her face.

"I thought being able to tame beasts was something really special but I didn't know there was more to him that I didn't know," Silvia said. "Why did you keep this away from me?"

"Because he asked me to keep it a secret," Ella said.

"Okay, can I ask you a question?" Silvia asked.

"What?"

"Are there more secrets about him that I don't know yet?" Silvia asked.

"I don't understand," Ella said.

"Are there any more secrets he asked you to keep that you haven't told me yet?" Silvia asked. "All you have to do is say yes, I'm not going to ask you to tell me what it is."

"No," Ella said, shaking her head. "Why would you think there were more things about him that I haven't told you yet?"

'That's her instinct working.' Jasmine said.

"Well you didn't tell me anything about these ones but through fate, I had to find out somehow," Silvia said.

"You're acting really strange, Silvia," Ella said.

"Luis is a mysterious person and I believe there's still something strange about him I don't know yet, it's either you don't know yet or he hasn't told you," Silvia said.

"Are you saying this because he's from another world?" Ella asked. "He's still a normal person like you and me."

"That may be true but to me, there's still something off about him," Silvia said. "Don't you ever get this feeling that he's not being exactly honest with you?"

Ella didn't reply as he stared at her roommate slowly shaking her head.

"What?" Silvia asked.

"Just a few minutes of being with him and you've already made these assessments about him," Ella said. "You've been thinking about him all day and that's why you were quiet throughout our time in the stadium. You're developing an obsession, Silvia."

"I am not, I'm just telling you what my instincts are telling me and with time you'll know that I was right," Silvia said.

'Yeah, she will.' Jasmine said.
