Chapter 330: End of the 4th elimination round (1/2)

The match between Brai and Kiko came to an end.

Brai's speed dominated Kiko, but Kiko's power and element control brought him to victory.

Unfortunately, Brai's [Advanced Resonance] came to an end before the match ended.

It was one of the causes of his defeat.

”Well, that was unfortunate for Brai,” Yman muttered with a wry smile.

”Hm, looks like he has yet to master the technique,” unexpectedly, it was the blonde, Maena, who followed up with his comment.

”Uh, can you do it as well?” He was curious if all the students in the elite class knew how to use the [Advance Resonance] ability.

Maena side-glanced at him for two to three seconds before replying.

”Of course, what do you think?” The way she answered sounds like she was mad at him. But he understood that it was her usual.

They were at least a little closer to each other now. They even call their names without honorifics, like a true friend. But maybe it was only Yman himself who thought they were closer.

After the talk with Keremi, Yman had something to ask her in private, but he decided to delay it. Maybe when his relationship with Maena was a bit better than the current.

”No, nothing. Good for you all. Hm, I wish I could as well.”

Yman muttered in a slight despondent tone.

”T-then, if you want to learn I can hel—”

”Yman, you have yet to learn the [Advanced Resonance]?”

Yman noticed Maena had something to say, but Almina interjected. Also, she was saying it in an inaudible voice that was barely able to pass as a whisper.

”Mhm!” He nodded to Almina's question.

”Eh?! Is that true?”

”Well, it can't be helped as I was away,” Yman replied.

But even if he didn't leave the Academy that time, he doubted he would ever learn it.

Almina showed an expression that she understood him. Then the next second, her expression changed to that of someone who had realized something.

”Ah, i-if you want, I can help you with the training,” Almina suggested with her face beet red.

Yman looked at her for a couple of seconds. He wondered how strong Almina was when he used the [Advance Resonance]. He was so looking forward to see it.

The other girls around them had their mouths formed like 'o' upon hearing Almina's suggestion.

”Will I not be a bother to you? Besides, there is also a chance that we come across in this competition. What if I use it to defeat… y—”

”.....”

Yman suddenly became silent when he noticed the expression on the other girl's faces, as though they were saying, ”can he even defeat Miss Almina?” But maybe it was only his bad interpretation.

Regardless, it was his fault for jumping to conclusions. It wasn't even certain that he could learn it. While Yman stopped and mulled for a second, ”I don't mind, you know,” Almina said to him. ”Also, even if you learned a thing or two, it won't be enough to perform the skill so easily. At most, I can help you with the basics. It actually took us a month to learn the [Advance Resonance].”

He noticed the other girls were nodding their heads. So it must be the reason for their weird expressions a while ago. Only Kesha had an unfriendly expression on her face.

'Right, Almina had a point.' Yman realized.

”But, will I be able to learn even though I am below the False Path stage?”

”Sure you are.” One of the girls around raised her hands while saying it with an amiable smile. Yman remembered her. It was Jami. The girl who defeated Chloe. ”You say, I can use it, even though I'm level 8 only,” Jami said while pointing to herself.
