Chapter 61: The second challenge (2/2)

Ed activated his Ren. Although Ellie couldn't see Nen, she still felt an immense pressure coming from Ed. Even the people who were watching from the sidelines felt chills going down their back. Ed took it up a notch and infused killing intent with his Ren while pointing it at Ellie. He saw that Ellie's complexion was becoming white. Anyone who couldn't use Nen, or wasn't stronger than Ed would find it extremely difficult to face him in this situation.

Ellie was nailed to the ground. However, she soon had some regretful looks and forcefully made her QI go berserk to snap out of her daze. Ed noticed this, so he immediately stopped his Ren. He didn't want her to injure herself in her confusion.

”Would you like to stop” Ed really didn't want to say these words since he knew it would only make her madder, but he had no choice. She looked tired before they even exchanged any blows.

”As if!” Ed's words seemed like they gave her some life force back and she rushed at him. As soon as she reached him, she threw a flurry of blows. They were very fast, fast enough to make Ed activate his Seikken. He was able to keep up with her now but still needed to block some blows. This kept going for a while without Ed punching back.

After noticing that her attacks were not doing any damage, Ellie finally decided to use her QI punches. However, it seemed like she needed to charge them and then punch, making her very vulnerable. Ed still let her charge her attack. If he was going to beat it would be better if he did after she did her best. Ed also prepared for her attack. He activated his Ren and started concentrating it in his hand. This was an advanced form of Nen, yet Ed was able to do it thanks to his many days of KI control.

Ellie was surprised by the sudden pressure, but she still threw her punch. Ed had activated his Rysui Seikken, making him able to predict the punch's trajectory and stop it with his Ren enhanced hand.

Ellie's punch didn't cause any damage to Ed even though it made the air behind him shake so much; the spectators had to shield their eyes. She looked as if she couldn't believe it until Ed's voice snapped her out of her deep thoughts.

”Let's stop here”

Hello everyone! I try not to make the other classmates weak, but it's very hard with all the skills Ed has. However, I'll be closing the gap when I go into details with all their powers!

Enjoy the chapters, if there are any mistakes point them out.
