Chapter 418 Water Vs Ice



Pearl was on the platform now with her gaze on her opponent who looked like he was trying to intimidate him from where he was standing.

Michael Jonah was a dark-haired third-year student, he had quite thick arms and a face that looked pretty intimidating but Pearl wasn't someone that got intimidated easily especially when this isn't her first time in this competition.

"Hey, your ability's hydro, right?" He asked with his gaze on Pearl but she didn't respond to him and just stood there with his arms crossed.

"Are the two of you ready?" The sergeant asked and the two replied by nodding. "Alright, you may then begin your fight."

"Well, you don't have to tell me, I saw you during last year's tournament, the way you fight is pretty mesmerizing," Michael said as a black sword slowly appeared in his hand.

"Oh, so this is your first time in the tournament, that's cool, welcome newbie," Pearl said before putting on a warm smile.

"Newbie? I don't like being called that, but I guess I can bear it if it's coming from you, either way, I'm knocking you out."

"Okay." She said, still standing the way she was.

Looking at her, it felt like she wasn't even aware that she was in a fight or maybe she was just playing with him.

"Pearl lost out in the rounds before the last rounds last year just like Tammy, but she was knocked out way faster compared to Tammy," Chloe muttered.

She wasn't really expecting anyone to hear that but Luis had sharp ears so there was no way that was going to escape him.

"How fast?" He asked.

"Under three minutes," Chloe replied before turning her gaze to him.

"Under three minutes? Who knocked her out?" Luis asked.

"She was a level five second-year student that year and was paired against a level six third-year student who had a very powerful fire ability." Chloe expressed. "He was able to easily vaporize her water defense which came through for her until that point in the tournament.

"She held her ground for a while in their sword clash after exhausting all her water points but it didn't take long before she started to get overwhelmed because her opponent also had a super speed ability that he didn't reveal till that point, it was an easy victory for him as soon as Pearl exhausted all her options."

"The way you explain it, it sounds like it lasted for more than three minutes," Luis said.

"Well, it didn't."

"She's going to get pretty far now that that student is no longer in the academy, right?" Tania said.

"Yeah, I can already see that," Chloe said before turning her gaze back to the fight.

Michael was the first to attack, but he didn't use his ability right off the bat.

He rushed toward Pearl with her sword but just before he could hit her with it, she quickly moved further back with back flips until she was standing on the edge now, falling off from there was only a matter of one step back.

Michael believed he could use this to his advantage as he quickly summoned three ice blades and threw them toward her as fast as he could.

"So, that's your elemental ability." She muttered before summoning her sword which she used to shatter the ice blades.

"Well, I would be disappointed if I was able to knock you out that easily," Michael said before quickly dashing toward her with his sword.

Pearl was aware of where she was standing so she quickly moved further in before he got close enough.

The two clashed blades and now it was time to see who had the better swordsmanship.

Michael was being quite rapid with his strikes forcing Pearl to defend instead of trying to fight back.

"Wow, you're really fast." She said after blocking a strike from him, he was going for the neck.

Michael was slowly losing it because no matter how fast he was or whatever he tried, he just couldn't hit her.

It didn't take long before he finally lost his cool as water vapor slowly began to escape from his hands.

Pearl knew especially from her experience sparring with his sister what was going to happen at this point as she quickly pulled her sword back before moving a distance away from him with a flip.

This time he didn't go for small blades, rather his imagination led him to create a ton of objects the size of shrapnel with his ability and he didn't hesitate to send them flying toward her.

As soon as Pearl caught a glimpse of them, she quickly created some kind of water barrier.

If that was just any water barrier, those things would have smashed right through them, but she reinforced them just enough to suck the blades in slightly, and those sides they came in through got frozen.

Her water barrier wasn't reinforced to the level it was when she stopped the earth twin's rain blades from impaling Luis because that would take more water points out of her, but still, this was enough.

Those shrapnel were quite a lot and each point they sank into got frozen until the whole water barrier got frozen and shattered.

That sure took out some ice points from him but Pearl wasn't going to give him the chance to recover and recollect his steps.

"I guess it's about time I fight back."

After saying that, she slowly raised her right hand as two large balls of water began to form above her until they were as large as hot air balloons, yeah, the shadows were almost covering Michael.

"How can she make something like that and keep it afloat?" Tania asked with a shocked expression on her face.

"Well, that's not all she can do," Luis said.

"Yeah, that's not all she can do but they weren't that large last time," Chloe said, showing a bit of surprise.

Michael shared the same excitement as some of the students in the stands, he had never seen anyone do something like that with their ability before.

"I can learn how to do that, right?" Ciara muttered from where she was sitting with her friends.

"When did they get that large?" Michael asked with his gaze on the balls.

"Well, I've been working on them, and guess what?"

"What?"

"They hit harder now." She said with a smirk.

As soon as she said that, Michae formed a shield out of his ice ability because he was aware that making anything to freeze those water balls will drain him dry.

An ice shield was his only line of defense and it was supposed to work against water, right?

Two water shots the size of bullets quickly shot out from the water balls.

With their combined force, they pierced right through the ice shield and sent Michael flying backward.

That could have sent him off the platform, but he summoned his sword right on time and stuck it into the ground to prevent himself from falling off.

His breathing was very fast-paced now as he looked up at the balls.

"That's a big problem."

Back at Asaka, leading all the way into the prison room, blood could be seen dripping out from the entrance, but there was only one person in the room.

"This is embarrassing." Roy groaned as he sat up on the floor.

His shoulders were bleeding, but those weren't the only parts of the body that were bleeding.

"This weak human body is near its end, but I'm not done using it yet."

As soon as he said that, his body slowly began to get covered by some kind of dark purple energy, and that continued until it was all that could be seen.
