85 Chapter 33: Team battles (2/2)
I looked over at her and was surprised to see that she had her head hung
What's she doing is she crying?
”You know, for someone with a normal hair colour, you're strong”
”What?” She asked as she looked up at me
My sudden question really confused her, but one thing I noticed is that from her expression, she still hadn't given up on losing
”We're kind of surrounded right now, how about a temporary truce?” I asked with a nervous smile
”Sure!” She instantly replied
”That was fast” I muttered
”I have a better chance of winning if I truce with you”
”What a change, a while ago you were crying with your head hung low”
”Huh? I was chanting”
…
”Interesting... So you hadn't given up”
”Of course not, I have to last at least until top 30”
”Yes yes, you have to last, but unfortunately, you're outnumbered.” Said one of the guys that surrounded us
6 people surrounded us, they had blocked off every direction and were all chanting
”Hey... Any ideas?” She asked
”Just one” I muttered
After I said that I started fake chanting
”He's chanting! FIRE!”
From fire ball to Earth Shards attacks of each element was sent from every direction, all at the same time
”Sphaera Glacies”

”13 badges, I can't wait to see john's reaction when I get a higher rank than him”
”So that was your true aim” Said Ariel with a nervous smile
”Why do you want to get a higher rank than john?” Eleanor asked
”Eh?”
[Why...? Even if you ask me...] Thought Serena
”I do too, and I guess we just want to prove that we're improving and that we're stronger than he thinks” replied Ariel
”Mhm” said serena as she nodded
”I see...” Said Eleanor
They walked around and watched as people around them fought like there's no tomorrow
”Wasting all their energy in the beginning is a bad move.” Said Serena as she watched them
”That's true” Replied Ariel
”O-Oi! There's 3 kids here, let's get some easy points!” Shouted one of the guys in a group
There were four members in that group so they outnumbered them by one
They hastily surrounded the girls and started chanting
”This will be easy...” Said another guy in the group
”Oi, what did you just say?” Asked Serena with a smile on her face
”Why does it matter?” Replied the guy
”You said 3 kids didn't you?” Asked Serena with the same smile but slightly colder
The guy ignored her and finished his chant
”Ariel” Said Serena
Ariel nodded
The two girls started fake chanting and two fire spears and two wind spears were formed around them
Each was aimed at one guy
”How?! We started chanting before them so how!?” He asked
”Maybe next time, do less talking and more chanting, oh and I'm not a kid” After serena said that she propelled the fire spear straight at him
”Sh-”
***
Light particles were formed and their unconscious bodies were teleported away
The badge count under serena's badge number changed to 15 and the count under ariel's number changed to 8
”Hmph” let out serena as she shook her head
”Serves them right, but Serena, why did you get so mad at them?” eleanor asked
”Because they can't correctly judge someone's age.” Serena replied
”I-I see...”
[That's right they called us kids, I remember her getting mad about that before, but isn't getting mad over being called a kid, childish] Thought Eleanor
”Hm? Did you two say something?” Serena asked
[She's sharp...] Thought Eleanor as she shook her head
”Should we go collect more bad-”
Serena suddenly stopped
”Ariel!” Shouted Serena
”I'm on it!” replied Ariel
Ariel grabbed on to Eleanor and cast 'scutum ventus' while she jumped up
At the same time, serena leapt to the side
Not even a split second after, shadow spikes rose up from the area where they were standing
Serena's jump with eleanor wasn't that high so the spike would have gotten them if it was for the wind shield which blocked it
The spike retracted into the ground, and a black haired kid ascended from inside of the ground shortly after
”Not bad... I was getting bored.” He muttered
