Chapter 74: Lets Dance (2/2)

Unlike the round yesterday, the arena was now a desert wasteland, and one could even see the other combatants from other zones as the only obstacles that could be seen were pieces of debris from what seemed to be broken shi+ps and other types of vehicles

As for the person in front of Riley right now, she was from the same class-- Bella Jackson, aka, Black Bell

"It has been a while since we last talked, Black Bell," Riley nodded as a greeting, "But… why are you talking about fate as well?"

"As well?" Bella slightly squinted her eyes, thethe lower half of her face was et the chance to co the 2nd day, ree took you off the group since she needed an 'assistant'," Bella breathed out, doing air quotes with her fingers as she reached the last word of her sentence, "Re you did after the class!?"

"No I reain nodded, "You fainted--"

"Enough talk, old friend!" Bella got into some type of martial arts stance before Riley could finish his words, "Let's dance!"

Bella then slid her left foot forward on the sand, before stretching both her arether And as she did so, thenear Riley split in half; creating a screeching noise as they suddenly shot towards hi to s him whole

And before it could coree angle; causing the already torn container van to split into 4 pieces, co Riley inside She did not stop there, however, as she closed both her hands into a fist-- crue into a ball

Bella was still not satisfied, however, as the veins on her hands began to show as she used all of her strength-- without hesitation, without holding anything back The large metal ball, however, soon turned into the shape of a hu monster," Bella then breathed out as her hands started to treh to co ball, and for the cage she made to turn into Riley's shape would only h to counteract hers

It wasn't fair, she thought Riley was able towith his s with metal properties

At the very least, she shouldn't lose when it co metal

"Riley Ross!" She was about to let out a roar and use the last of her strength to compress the metal even further, but before she could do so, she heard a voice seeping from the metal statue in front of her

"I aain if you use your powers like that, Black Bell"

"You--"

And before Bella could even respond to Riley's words, the ly th was ripped open like tissue paper as Riley took a step forward

"You can't win against me with your telekinetic abilities, Black Bell," Riley then let out a short but deep sigh as he waved his hand, and as he did so, the ocean of sand beneath the?" Bella then said as her eyes turned to look at the ground

"This"

And as soon as Riley's word reached Bella's ears, she felt the ground beneath her disappear If it wasn't for her costu made of metal, then she would have probably fallen a few meters towards the silver floor

Silver floor?

Bella then quickly turned to look at Riley, only to see hiht her eye, however But instead, it was the mountain of sand that now surrounded the perimeter of their zone

"Did you… just push all of the sand away?" Bella whispered But after a few seconds, she shook her head and let out a short but deep sigh, "If this is your way of showing that you're stronger than htly bit her lip as she looked at Riley, "It's your win, I surren--"

"Judging by your movements, you are a practitioner of martial arts, Black Bell?"

"Sorry?" Bella then blinked her eyes a couple of ti towards the silver floor; casually taking off his long white coat and proceeding to fold it before carefully placing it on the floor

"What are you doing?" Bella curiously muttered as she too, slowly descended to the floor

"You were using Shaolin Kung Fu earlier, correct?" Riley then ot into the same stance that Bella did earlier, "You still would not be able to win against me, but as you said earlier

Let's dance"
