Book 1: Chapter 80.2: Sizing up the Team Part II

Scarlet

Denise just waves back at us after reaching the arena with a smile, then focuses on the instructor. We all then watch as a torrent of red energy begins enveloping her body, following which she slams her fists together and sprints towards Artorius at an incredible speed with her fist pulled back to strike.

Oh. Wow.

Shes fast.

But despite her speed, Artorius just avoids the strike without much struggle, and she continues flying past him into the border of the arena, smashing her fist into it with a very loud noise that hurts my ears a little. The girl doesnt let that bother her though as she simply turns back around and rushes at him again, but this time with a pale blue energy coating the red energy on just her fist, making for an odd sight.

A pale blue mist leaks from her fist as she flies towards him, and this time the guy decides to take her attack, likely to show us what she can actually do. And when her fist strikes his palm, light freezing sounds come from the two collided fists as the mans glove begins to freeze slightly before he throws her away.

A physical enhancement skill and an ice fist skill so far. Not bad.

After that she does a roundhouse kick one of the moves I learned from Sylver with that same icy energy coating her foot instead of her hand now. Meaning its not an ice fist skill but some sort of ice strike?

Either way though, the instructor blocks it just as easily has hed blocked the other one before pushing and sending her flying several meters. But despite the height she reached, she still manages to land on her feet. Then she raises her hands palm out towards the instructor and quite literally shouts, Fireball! out loud before, low and behold, a fireball forms in front of her hands and flies towards the man. But of course, he just swats it away like a fly.

You really shouldnt do that, Michael shouts at her, and she just shouts back, I know! Im trying to resist the urge! I really am!!

My brows furrow in confusion.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

The instructor allows the fog to touch him, making me hear tiny sizzling sounds signifying something melting while at the same time I see some of the cloth tying his long hair in a ponytail dissolving. But other than that, the man is too strong for the acid fog to do anything else, and he rushes forward to strike at Emily.

Emily barely manages to stumble out of his hit before sweeping her arm horizontally, spraying what I think are tiny green needles at the man, but most of them bounce off of his armor. I do see two striking his skin though, and it begins to cause what looks like necrotic poisoning around the wound. For a split second, that is, before the wounds heal and the needles are forced out.

So acid fog and necrotic poisoning needles? Pretty good so far. Not much in the way of physical combat though. And the way shes moving kind of reminds me of a ninja from a movie.

I also feel like I vaguely notice some tiny black particles moving about the instructors skin, but I cant tell what theyre doing. Because they dont really seem to be doing anything.

Shes using a skill that gradually builds up maladies in the target, but it just isnt effective against someone like him, Sylver answers my thoughts, probably noticing the confused expression I had on.

I hum in response, not taking my eyes off of the fight, which is probably the worst matchup amongst the three. Since her attacks literally dont do much of anything to him at all, what with them all being focused on building up maladies and poisons.

The fight continues for a few minutes before ending with her awkwardly walking out, looking quite down in the process. Which I can understand, considering that she didnt really do much of anything to him.

Not that the other two did much better.

I wonder what level the three are at anyways?

Everyone turns to look at me, prompting me to start walking towards the arena.

Well, guess its my turn.
