Chapter 329: Fire and water (2/2)

On the contrary, there was a sharp invisible aura circulating Brai. It was sharp like the edge of his sword.

Brai squinted his eyes. He wondered what those flames around Kiko could do. They seemed to be not ordinary flames.

Well, since guessing was useless anyway, he decided to shoot a water ball at Kiko. Kiko easily avoided it.

At the moment, Kiko was in mid-air, while Brai was below, standing on the broken stage.

When his first attempt bore no result, Brai fired a volley of it. Kiko did not evade this time. But Brai's attack disappeared when they touched Kiko's flame.

Seeing that they turned into white fumes before disappearing, there was only one explanation for it.

Everyone was wondering how Brai's water element lost against Kiko's flame.

”Well, the reason is simple. Kiko's mastery degree in his fire element was higher than Brai in his water. Although the water was strong against fire, it only applied if the two elements were to the same degree. Although Kiko's other element isn't weak, his fire element cut above his other elements. Well, it was only natural since Kiko was focusing all his training to deepen his understanding of his fire element. The other elements were only for his support.”

Acting so smart, Kesha explained to the others what she believed was the reason.

In Yman's mind, he agreed to her. In short, Kiko's control in his flame was far stronger than Brai's control in his water. So as a result, Brai's water lost its form and disappeared like vapor.

While everyone was yet to say something, it was Yman who said something first.

”Hee~, so Miss Kesha knows a lot about Kiko.”

”Humph!” It was the reply that he so much expected. ”What are you saying? Of Course, since Kiko is popular. Unlike some infamous someone who could not even stay conscious for five minutes in the training!”

”.....”

Yman fell silent for a moment. Well, he had nothing to rebut against it as it was true.

”Uhm, Kesha, isn't that a bot too rude?” Almina came to the rescue. ”Also, did you forget that Yman's physical attributes are far higher now, you know? I even heard the elders talking about his unusual physical stats.”

”Wha—!”

Yman was surprised to hear it. ”Uh, Almina. Is it true?” He asked her in a serious tone.

”Yep, yep, I heard it yesterday when I went to Elder Paan's office after the third elimination round.”

”Oh,” Yman was curious. He did not expect that the elders were talking about him. For some reason, he felt worried. What if they discovered that he was contracted with the demon? They would probably seek him out of the city. Or worse if they send him to rot in jail. This is getting worrisome.

While Yman was worriedly pondering, Kesha opened her mouth again. ”Still, that physical ability is useless against Kiko's dazzling fire!”

”Look how majestic he looks!”

'Wow, she's fangirling!' Yman thought.

Some members of Almina's party also shared the same thoughts as Yman. Looking at Kesha, she looked like an avid fan of Kiko. But they understood her since Kiko was popular with the girls in the academy. However, Jami and the others were more loyal to Almina.

”Well, I wouldn't say for sure,” Yman muttered a reply to Kesha's statement a while ago.

Kesha, who happened to hear it, sneered at him. She wondered if this person wanted to become a charred potato.

”Regardless, Yman, i-if the time comes that you will be facing Kiko on the stage, no matter what happens I will cheer for you!” Almina said with her face beet red.

After hearing it, Kesha's expression turned bitter. 'That's my best friend for you! She's blinded by this person's unfound attractiveness,' she thought while shaking her head in dismay.

She was still wondering why Almina rejected Kiko.

To Almina's words, Yman smiled gently. ”I see. Thank you for the support then.”
