Chapter 430: Group Battle Part 2 (1/2)
”This… To think we would have faced something so exciting just a few minutes into the battle.” Diego shouted before looking at Sanae. ”I'm sorry, Teacher. But would you like to say something about the fight?”
”Kai Carter has yet to launch his attack.” Sanae paused for a moment to give the time for them to realize before continuing. ”Anyway, he is trying to show you the power of the Golden Group. If you take another look at it, you will notice how the Golden Group actually takes care of each other.
”Before Kai Carter can hurt them, one of them will be taking that hit in the ideal form, slowly sealing his movement. This will give you an illusion of them suppressing him, which can stress your opponent. Even the Magical Beast will realize this and start doing something different. That's when you can kill it in one strike.
”In other words, you need to make sure that your allies are safe while fighting your enemy. This is a principle,” explained Sanae while staring at Kai's movement.
”I see. Do you hear it, everyone? Your allies are the priority because you can keep fighting as long as you have allies.” Diego shouted while shifting the focus to someone else. ”Let's go see someone else.
This time, it was Michelle's time to shine.
Michelle encountered her enemies with a serious expression. Unlike Kai, she had no intention of holding back, so she quickly summoned both swords.
She looked at the five people before her and said, ”I need all of you to go down in five minutes.”
”Are you looking down on us?” Maria Smith, the leader of Tempest Group, narrowed her eyes.
”I am not. However, I have a job to do and I don't want to waste my time.” Michelle smiled as she summoned Dark Michelle. ”You handle the other four. I'm going to handle her alone.”
”Sure thing.” Dark Michelle shrugged before four scythes emerged from her back as she smiled. ”Let's play with me.”
She jumped toward the group before Maria appeared right before her, trying to knock her down with her spear. However, Michelle came and struck her spear, using her Shadow Slash to cut the spear handle.
Snap.
Maria widened her eyes as she saw her weapon snapped on the first attack. ”Impossible.”
When the other four wanted to help her, Dark Michelle sent each of them a scythe, blowing them away.
”What power!”
”What's that?”
”A clone?”
They were confused because this had never happened before. In other words, this was new magic that Michelle created herself. And the strength behind that magic was far more powerful than anyone could think of.
Seeing that her other self had controlled the situation, Michelle jumped toward Maria with her swords, ready to cut her down.
”Kh!” Maria gritted her teeth and threw her spear toward her before using her magic, which was fire magic, and turning that fire into a spear.
Even though she felt that her hand was melting, she endured it and wielded that spear while slowing down the burn.
”Interesting.” Michelle smiled and bent down, slashing both swords on the ground. ”But that's useless.”
”Shadow Slash.”
”!!!” Maria frowned when she saw the incoming Shadow Slash and decided to dodge it. She raised her hand as a magic circle appeared above Michelle's head.
”…” Michelle sighed and placed her hand on the ground as her shadow expanded before coming out of the ground, creating a roof above her.
The fire ended up hitting that roof and exploded.
'It couldn't even reach her?' Maria gritted her teeth as she never thought that Michelle had become this strong. It seemed that the success of Kai wasn't because of his ability alone. Michelle must have contributed to it.
She sent another Shadow Slash toward her.
Maria tried to fight it instead and threw her spear.
The fire spear exploded and blew away the Shadow Slash.
”It's working. I will—Gah!” Before she finished her thought, something seemed to hit her from behind as the pain began spreading all over her body. She looked down and found out that she had been stabbed by a scythe. ”What?!”
She looked at Dark Michelle, who turned out to be aiming for her instead of the other four. She looked at Michelle, who already went toward the other four, preparing to attack them.
”You… You tricked me.” She couldn't finish her words as she died with regret.
Michelle, on the contrary, focused on her objective and killed the other fours.
This battle ended within three minutes, even faster than Michelle's prediction. The time completely stunned everyone that witnessed it because they never thought Michelle was this strong.
However, they also didn't know what to think about her trick. It was kind of unhonorable to do something like that.
Diego, who noticed the unrest in the students' hearts, quickly opened his mouth and directed everything to Shirotsuka Sanae. ”Oh! I'm surprised. Michelle Graham manages to beat the Tempest Group in an instant. What's this concept, Teacher?”
